The Fryguy Invectives: Frey's NFL Week 11 locks of the week

It has to be said that going 2-2 for all but 2 weeks of the season is an accomplishment in and of itself.

Since only the mediocre are always at their best, achieving greater glories is impossible give the last few weeks.

Still, I feel compelled to talk some football so let’s have it shall we?

Cincinnati @ New Orleans (-6)

While I am loathe to pick any 4-5 team and then give up 6 points for the honor of doing so, I just think that the Bengals cannot possibly have any self-respect left after getting worked over by the Browns.

Detroit @ Arizona (-1)

This week’s Admiral Akbar Special.

Arizona is 8-1. Their only loss came on the road against the 7-2 Broncos and it was close until they needed to put in their 3^rd string rookie QB. They have an aggressive defense that forces skittish QB’s into bad decisions, are playing at home, and have the coach of the year captaining the ship.

Conversely, Detroit is the worst road team of the last decade, has a QB that loves doing stupid things when under pressure, and the franchise has a history of wilting under the pressure that accompanies competence.

I’m in on the Red Birds.

Oakland @ San Diego (-8)

In this contest, there are 2 teams coming off of humiliating routs.

One of them is the Raiders and the other one isn't.

Take the team that isn't Oakland.

Philadelphia @ Green Bay (-5)

The normally cynical and savvy Eagles fan base is salivating over the Sanchize like a gaggle of tweens over a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Justin Bieber.

The fact that Sanchez had a reasonably good game against a depleted and demoralized Carolina team that was coming off of 3 straight losses (and tie in which they made Andy Dalton look like Dan Marino) is, apparently, immaterial.

There is absolutely no way in the 7 hells that I am going to take “Butt Fumble” on the road against a surging Packers team.
