What a wild wild week 11 we just came out of. Beginning on Thursday with the Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph brawl. Then on Saturday with the Kaepernick workout drama that unfolded. Then on Sunday we had 8 games decided 10+ points. We had 6 of those games decided by more than two possessions(14 points). We are almost at Thanksgiving and the playoff race is heating up.

We have a few intriguing games this week. The Seahawks and Eagles game is a playoff game for the Eagles essentially. The Eagles sit at the 8 spot in the NFC outside of the playoffs. A loss could drop them to 10. The Titans can stay in the race for the AFC South with a win. Sunday and Monday nights games are great. Aaron Rodgers vs Jimmy G in San Francisco. Lamar Jackson will play for a national television audience on Monday night. Then on Sunday afternoon, the two most hated franchises in the NFL face off. I see this being a defensive battle. The Patriots offense is struggling. I do expect the Cowboys to have a late lead and then Tom Brady leads a classic Brady drive down the field to win.
Have a magical day and we will SEE YA! real soon.
