PFT’s Week 11 2024 NFL Picks: Florio vs. Sims

Straight up, we continue to be straight four.

Last week I went 11-3. Simms a/k/a Sasquatch was 10-4. I’m 105-47 straight up on the year (69 percent) and Simms is 98-54 (64.4 percent).

Against the spread I was a pathetic 7-7. Simms was 8-6. I still have a 17-game streak for the season, at 90-59-3 vs. 73-76-3.

This week, we’re tied for FIVE games straight, with seven tied against the spread. For all selections, straight rolling.

Commanders at Eagles (-3.5)

The Eagles have the better talent and have won five in a row. The commanders will compete – and I think they will cover. They are getting closer and closer to a breakthrough.

Florio: Eagles, 23-20.

Simms: Eagles, 31-20.

Packers (-5.5) at Bears

The Monsters of the Midway are in more disarray than a midweek offensive coordinator change can fix.

Florio: Packers, 27-17.

Simms: Packers, 27-17.

Jaguars at Lions (-13)

The Lions could start their backup and cover the spread in this one. (Which probably means the Jaguars will win.)

Florio: Lions, 45-14.

Simms: Lions, 38-16.

Raiders at Dolphins (-7)

The schedulers messed with the Dolphins, forcing them to face a team coming off a bye just six days after playing in LA. Miami should still win, but it should be close.

Florio: Dolphins, 24-20.

Simms: Dolphins, 20-17.

Rams (-2.5) at Patriots

Reality may be settling in for the Rams, and the Patriots have embraced the spoiler role.

Florio: Patriots, 20-17.

Simms: Rams. 23-20.

Browns (-1) at Saints

Darren Rizzi has Rizz. And Charmin.

Florio: Saints, 34-21.

Simms: Browns, 20-16.

Heels on Jets (-4)

With Anthony Richardson back, it could go well. Or they could go terribly. Or both.

Florio: Jet, 24-17.

Simms: Colts, 24-21.

Ravens (-3) at Steelers

The Steelers have a good history against Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. And a better offense than they have had in recent years.

Florio: Steelers, 22-19.

Simms: Ravens, 28-24..

Vikings (-6) at Titans

Sam Darnold is injured. Whether it’s him or Nick Mullens or anybody, they should be able to beat the Titans.

Florio: Vikings, 17-13.

Simms: Vikings, 20-13.

Falcons at Broncos (-2.5)

Will the Broncos rally in the wake of last week’s last second failure?

Florio: Broncos, 24-20.

Simms: Broncos, 20-17.

Seahawks at 49ers (-6.5)

The 49ers are finding their groove.

Florio: 49ers, 30-23.

Simms: 49ers, 34-21.

Chiefs at Bills (-2)

Until the Chiefs suddenly find a way to win, let’s assume that continues.

Florio: Chiefs, 24-23.

Simms: Chiefs, 24-20.

Bengals at Chargers (-1.5)

The Bengals are in de facto playoff mode. Which means Joe Burrow is getting even better.

Florio: Bengals, 23-17.

Simms: Chargers, 28-23.

Texans (-7.5) at Cowboys

America’s Team isn’t even Texas’ Team.

Florio: Texas, 34-13.

Simms: Texas, 24-13.
