N.F.L. Picks Week 11: Saints Over Redskins, Eagles Over Cowboys
By BENJAMIN HOFFMANNOV. 16, 2017

If not for Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension, a clash between Philadelphia and Dallas would have been this week’s marquee matchup. But Week 11 now appears to have other games that should top it for excitement. The streaking Saints and Vikings will try to stay hot against quality teams, and the Patriots will try to maintain their defensive improvement. In games of lesser note, the Browns will keep searching for their first win, the Chiefs will try to stop a steep decline and the Bills, for some reason, will try out a new quarterback. Here are our picks against the spread.

Last week’s record against the spread: 6-7-1

Overall record: 70-72-4

Chiefs at Giants, 1 p.m., CBS

Line: Chiefs by 10.5

The Chiefs (6-3) have lost three of their last four games, but what should really be troubling is the fact that Kareem Hunt, the team’s rookie running back, has been held to 47.8 rushing yards a game in that span after he averaged 121.8 yards in the first five games of his career. The Giants (1-8) are bad at everything, so a nice bounce-back week for Kansas City seems in order, with the only hitch being the unlikelihood of it covering a double-digit point spread. Pick: Giants

The pick is taking the points. I say the Chiefs cover.
