Cohen's week 11 selections
It's week 11 already! Boy time sure flies when you are having fun!
VIKINGS (5-4) @ BUCCANEERS (6-3): Now this is a tough game to predict. The Buccaneers haven't played in two weeks, and the last time we saw the Bucs, they ba
rely won a game agaisnt the lowly Kansas City Chiefs. The rest should help an aging ball club like Tampa Bay, but they will have to find a way to stop a red hot Adrian Peterson. Peterson now leads the leauge in rushing with 1015 yards, and is well on his way to another 1600 yard season. Guss Ferrotte has done just enough not to hurt the Vikings. He has not turned the ball over, and with Peterson behind him, he has the easiest job in the world. PICK: VIKINGS 23, BUCCANEERS 20.
RAVENS (6-3) @ GIANTS (8-1): This is an intreguing matchup. The superior Giants defense goes up against the upstart Ravens offense. Rookie quarterback Joe Flacco has not seen a good defense since early in the season, when he threw for 153 yards and two interceptions in a 13-10 loss to Tennessee on October 5; so it will interesting to see how he handles a heavy pass rush coming from Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka.
Meanwhile, on the flip side, the key matchup will be the Giants ground attack going up a soild Ravens front seven, lead by non-other than veteran linebacker Ray Lewis. The Ravens surrender only 65 yards on the ground a game. Giants running back Brandon Jacobs is fifth in the league in rushing this year. Whoever wins this battle, will likely win the game. PICK: GIANTS 31, RAVENS 10.

He has not turned the ball over, and with Peterson behind him, he has the easiest job in the world. PICK: VIKINGS 23, BUCCANEERS 20.CHARGERS (4-5) @ STEELERS (6-3): This is as tight as it could get. In one corner are the slumping Steelers and in the other is the conundrum known as the Chargers. Now it has been well established that teams from the west coast that travel east, do not play well. The Chargers are a case in point, having lost in Buffalo and in London against the Saints this year. That being said, Ben Roethlisberger has been a giving mood lately, throwing three interceptions in a loss to the Colts a week ago. How Roethlisberger responds will be the storyline of the night. PICK: STEELERS 27, CHARGERS 24.
COWBOYS (5-4) @ REDSKINS (6-3): Well Jessica Simpson's love glove comes home for the Cowboys! Ton
y Romo is back under center after missing more than month of action with a broken pinkie. In case Romo is wondering what happened, his Boys are on the brink of extinction. If anyone thinks that Romo can save the Cowboys with a broken finger than you need your head examined. Even when Romo was healthy the Cowboys were playing lousy football, including a loss to Washington on September 28, to get the ball rolling in oppisite directions for both.

The Redskins have had a long time to lick their wounds from the bruttle loss to the Steelers, will look to get back on track. What a better way to do it on a Sunday night against their most hated rival. PICK: REDSKINS 34, COWBOYS 17.
