Ravens will right ship, earn big win over Bengals in Week 11

Albert Breer went 6-9 with his predictions in Week 10 and is now 89-57 for the season. Will he bounce back in Week 11? His picks are below, with home teams listed second:

Really, the biggest noticeable flaw in Baltimore is how it comes down after big wins. This being a big game, my feeling is the Ravens will be just fine.

What's to like in this one? The Jaguars defense keeps getting better and better, now ranking second in the NFL. But I don't like Jacksonville's offense in those Lake Erie conditions.

Detroit's coming off three losses in four weeks -- though that blowout win in Denver is starting to look better -- and with Green Bay and the Saints next, the Lions need this one badly.

At some point, the Packers have to have an off day on offense … right? What's important to monitor now is whether Monday night was a sign of the defense turning a corner.

A sign of how quickly things can change in the NFL: Miami is considered a favorite this weekend. That said, Buffalo's not as bad as it has looked the past two weeks. The Bills turn it around Sunday.

Carson Palmer had his get-right game against San Diego, and this is a golden opportunity to build on that, facing the Vikings' shaky pass defense with Antoine Winfield recently placed on IR.

Know who's playing increasingly good football? Tony Romo, that's who. And the slumping Redskins, with Rex Grossman at the helm, won't keep up.

The Niners move a step closer to clinching their division, and secure their first winning record since 2002. Huge credit to the fiercely competitive Jim Harbaugh and Trent Baalke.

Despite their struggles, both these teams have continued to fight, so expect a lively -- if not all that important -- one at the Dome. And take Sam Bradford to pull it out.

With signs pointing to Julio Jones sitting, points will be at a premium for Atlanta. But easily missed in Week 10 was that the Falcons' defense played competitively against New Orleans.

Chicago is forging an identity -- again -- as a team that can score every which way. At least one of the Bears' touchdowns in this one will come on defense or special teams.

Philadelphia likely will need Vince Young to help save its season against an athletic, relentless pass rush. Yeah, I don't like this spot for the Eagles.

The Chiefs D -- with stud rusher Tamba Hali, a good group of corners and ex-New Englander Romeo Crennel running the show -- is a tough matchup for the Patriots. Tyler Palko, however, is not.
