NFL Staff Picks: Week 11 Winners

NFL Staff Picks: Week 11 Winners

This article is part of our NFL Staff Picks series.

Dalton Del Don won last week, going a season-best 11-3. Kevin Payne had his second sub-.500 week in a row but still leads the overall race at 84-66-2, 15 games ahead of the competition. 

Del Don was also the only writer to nail his best bet. Majority picks went 8-6, and there was no unanimous pick.

Again this week, the group could not settle on a unanimous pick. Six teams garnered four votes, with Payne preventing unanimity on three of those. Payne and Del Don also split on their best bets in the Chiefs-Bills matchup.

WRITERCOMMENT
EricksonThe Colts going back to Anthony Richardson makes them less likely to cover, even if I think they are making the right long-term decision for the franchise. Second best bet is the Browns — the Saints likely will lose their dead-cat coach bounce luster, plus it's low-key a Jameis Revenge Game.
PianowskiHow dare the Colts deny us the Joe Flacco revenge game. 
WhalenI don't love the board this week, but with the Packers-Bears number hanging under a touchdown, we'll put some faith in the Packers to clean up their turnover issues and emerge from the bye ready to exploit a Bears team that hasn't scored a touchdown in consecutive ugly losses to Arizona and New England.
PayneI'm sure I'm jinxing my team, but I think the Chiefs are overrated. Only three Sunday afternoon games, boo.
Del DonNo best bet jumped out this week, so give me Patrick Mahomes plus points.
