Week 11 Games of the Week

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers

1:00pm EST / CBS

The Reserves Picks

BAL: Charlie, Jesse, Adam

PIT: Dillon, Ian, Zach

The best rivalry in the NFL has finally arrived. The AFC North leading, Pittsburgh Steelers, come in at 7-2, while the highly talented Baltimore Ravens come in at 7-3. The hate between these two teams is so real and this will be Derrick Henry’s first taste of it. Dating back to their first meeting in 1996, the Steelers lead this series 35-25, winning 7 of the last 8 matchups over the Ravens. Lamar Jackson is having his best season yet, and he is on pace for another MVP award. On the other end is TJ Watt, who is on track for his second DPOY. I fully expect a hard nose, blue-collar, smash-mouth game between these two great franchises. The Ravens have one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, while their defense has been hit or miss especially in the passing game. The Ravens secondary is allowing almost 295 passing yards per game which is the most in the league by 30 yards. Russell Wilson will look to George Pickens early and often on deep balls to exploit the questionable play of the Ravens defensive backs. The Steelers have a top tier defense with an offense that is hitting its stride. Our “experts” are split on this one. This one could go down to the wire.  - Charlie Smythers

Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills

4:25pm EST / CBS

The Reserves Picks

KC: Dillon

BUF: Charlie, Jesse, Adam, Ian, Zach

The Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Highmark Stadium to take on the Buffalo Bills in the latest installment of a rivalry that has become must-see television over the past few seasons. In the seven matchups featuring quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, the Chiefs are 4-3. However, this does feature a 3-0 playoff split, not that the Bills are exactly known for their postseason successes… With the Chiefs and Bills both having top 12 scoring offenses, top 10 defenses (in terms of points allowed), and comfortable division-leading records, Sunday is shaping up to be yet another can’t-miss classic with significant playoff implications. Will Mahomes and the Chiefs continue to haunt the nightmares of Jesse and Bills fans everywhere? Or can the Bills continue their trend of winning contests that come with absolutely no hardware? An overwhelming majority of us expect Buffalo to spoil Kansas City’s dreams of an undefeated season. Regardless, place your bets and get comfortable, this will be an interesting one to watch. - Adam Houston

Sunday Night Football

Cincinnati Bengals @ Los Angeles Chargers

8:20pm EST / NBC, Peacock

The Reserves Picks

CIN: Charlie, Dillon, Zach

LAC: Jesse, Adam, Ian

Sunday Night Football features a fun matchup between the Bengals and Chargers. The Chargers, who are 6-3 on the year, have won 4 of their last 5 games, including 3 straight victories. The Chargers defense has been playing excellent during this stretch of games. Derwin James, Khalil Mack (Questionable - groin), and Joey Bosa are keeping opposing offenses out of the end zone as the Chargers defense is only giving up 13.1 points per game (lowest in the NFL). That is an impressive stat. However, the Bengals have an explosive offense that will more than likely need to score more than 2 TD to win this game. The Bengals are still in catch-up mode in the AFC playoff picture. They are currently sitting outside the playoffs but are still in the hunt to get on a run and put some pressure on the teams who currently hold the wild card spots in the AFC. Sunday Night Football should deliver another good one this week. We can’t wait to enjoy this primetime showdown.  - Dillon Draughn
