I went 3-2 last week. Let's break down my NFL Week 11 JB Locks against the spread.
It never seems to end for the 2014 Oakland Raiders: They always have a ton of players on the official injury report each week. That's not the primary reason the Silver & Black can't win a game, of course, but it's been a consistent theme this year for the last winless team in the NFL.
The 49ers and Giants have to game plan for some missing players this week, but none that they can't overcome. There will be several game time decisions, but no big name is really in danger of sitting this one out, other than Patrick Willis.
The 49ers play the 3-6 Giants in New York Sunday with a chance to move up in the NFC West standings.
So Michael Crabtree isn't happy with his role. He said so to reporters following the 49ers thrilling, possibly season-saving victory in New Orleans in which Crabtree hauled in the season-saving 51-yard bomb to set up the game-tying field goal.
Turnovers will again be key, for both teams. Miami and Buffalo are tied for second in the NFL with 19 takeaways.
The 2014 Oakland Raiders not only have yet to win a game this season, but they are also on pace to post the worst team rushing yards total since the NFL switched to 16-game seasons in 1978. That's right: The Silver & Black can't run the ball, and it's killing their rookie quarterback's chances to succeed.
It has been said that Aldon Smith's suspension was not reduced because he didn't comply with all the requirements of his suspension. But both he and the NFLPA disagree, and they appear to be the ones who are right.
After Santa Clara County prosecutors dropped domestic violence charges against Ray McDonald, the San Francisco 49er shared his side of the story.
The Denver Broncos and St. Louis Rams are two teams heading in completely opposite directions, but sometimes that's just the way the schedule falls. The Broncos don't need a win this week, but want one. The Rams desperately need a win to try and save their season. CBS Sports' Ian Eagle spoke about their upcoming game and looked at both sides of the spectrum.
The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are tied for second place in the AFC East with identical 5-4 records, and this Thursday night game is going to say a lot for what their postseason future may hold. Ian Eagle of CBS Sports took some time to talk about the big game and how it could affect the rest of the season for both teams. Let's just say, this is a must-win for both the Bills and Dolphins.
Ok.Enough already. I've been hearing for over 24 hours how great Kaepernick's throw was to Michael Crabtree.
The 49ers will be without the face of the defense for the stretch run after news broke Tuesday that linebacker Patrick Willis will not play another snap for the 49ers this season.
The Philadelphia Eagles trounced the Carolina Panthers 45-21 Monday night after the Packers dominated the Bears 55-14 in the Sunday night game. John Madden for one is concerned about the number of blowouts in the NFL this season, especially in prime-time games.
The 49ers go on the road for the second straight week, but this time the opponent should not be quite as difficult. If they can play as well as they did a week ago the 49ers will beat the Giants this week and keep their winning streak intact.
The San Diego Chargers have lost three straight games, the last two by whopping margins. Does this mean the winless Oakland Raiders have a chance to beat them? The Silver & Black came close in the teams' first matchup in Oakland, but this Week 11 contest will be in San Diego. There are always a lot of Raiders fans in San Diego, though, so maybe this is Oakland's chance to get into the win column and avoid a 16-game losing streak.
San Francisco 49er defensive lineman Ray McDonald won't face charges related to a domestic violence arrest in his San Jose home earlier this year.
In a new program being rolled out this week, the NFL is expanding its outreach to include LGBT businesses for contracting opportunities during the 50th anniversary Super Bowl.
San Francisco 49er Quarterback Colin Kaepernick has apparently heard enough from critics, and he took to Instagram minutes after the 49ers pulled out an overtime win in New Orleans to salvage their playoff chances for the 2014 campaign.
Aaron Rodgers threw six first half touchdown passes as the Packers routed the Chicago Bears 55-14 in Green Bay Sunday night. John Madden places Rodgers among the top three quarterbacks in the league.
The Oakland Raiders are 0-9 this season, and the Silver & Black have now lost their last 15 games dating back to the 2013 season. Is there any win in sight? Not as long as the defense continues to stink...and the offense continues to struggle. No one is really doubting the effort of the 2014 Raiders, but the results just aren't there.
