Our Week 11 NFL Free Pick:
With how well Michael Vick has played this year, it’s hard to pick against the Eagles in this matchup – especially given how bad they crushed the Redskins on Monday night. But the Giants aren’t the Redskins and they don’t have a defense that will lay down right off the bat. They know the key to beating Philadelphia is to stop Vick and they have the weapons to do so in their front seven. This is a classic ebb and flow play and although Eli Manning didn’t play well against the Cowboys last week, there’s still reason to believe that New York is the best team in the NFC right now. Look for the G-Men to get Ahmad Bradshaw and the running game going and keep Vick and DeSean Jackson off the field. Pass rush will be the key in this one and we like Big Blue to win outright. Our pick is the Giants plus the points.
