Here's my take on how the NFL's Week 11 will shake out with my predictions, my juggernaut games of the week, and my "juggernot lames of the weak."

Christian Ponder took only two starts to get his first career win, outdueling the more-heralded Cam Newton in the process.
This is my favorite week in the NFL season, as it's the only time I can assure you the Bears won't lose. Even though the Bears are on a bye, there are thirteen games to be played.
Troy Aikman made it pretty clear that he is not a fan of the NFL's plans to expand overseas.
The heated Vikings-Packers rivalry in the NFC North just took an interesting turn.
The Bears take their longest road trip of the season, to play a real football match in Wembley Stadium. It's the end of an era for Donovan McNabb, and the beginning of an era in Minnesota and Denver. Outside of a few games, there are several lopsided match-ups on the Week 7 docket. Here's my take on how everything will shake out with my predictions, my juggernaut games of the week, and my "juggernot lames of the weak":
After scoring his 16th career kick return touchdown Sunday, Devin Hester was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week Wednesday.
Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz doesn't view tight ends like most NFL coaches.
In one week's time, Bears safety Chris Harris lost his starting job, was rendered inactive for Sunday's game and has formally requested to be traded.

Bears coach Lovie Smith said Devin Hester was "sore" after suffering a chest injury following a stellar performance from his electrifying return man and wide receiver.
Indeed the Bears were in a must-win situation against the NFC North's worst team Sunday and needed a better effort from the defense. Peppers, who was doubtful to play, found out shortly before the game that he was cleared by the trainers and led by example in one of the gutsiest performances of his career.
It's what you need to do against bad teams -- beat them badly. Its not a game that anyone really learned a ton about the Bears in their thrashing of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night; however, the Bears now sit 3-3 and are still very much alive in the race for an NFC Wild Card berth.
Lovie Smith does appear to have his own supply of paper towels, though, that he's been able to pull out of the supply closet, to unroll as needed to mop up the pessimism (and who would engage in that, dare I ask?) and keep his team from slipping into the abyss.
Devin Hester set the tone with a 48-yard touchdown catch and scored on a career-best 98-yard kickoff return before leaving with a chest injury, and the Chicago Bears routed the Minnesota Vikings 39-10 on Sunday.
After one quarter, the Bears are out to an early 16-0 lead over the Vikings behind Jay Cutler's 48-yard touchdown pass to Devin Hester.
Though listed as doubtful with a sprained MCL, Bears defensive end Julius Pepper is active for Sunday night's contest against the Vikings.
