NFL Picks And Predictions Week 11: Chiefs Vs. Patriots

The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football this week with Tyler Palko as their starting quarterback. The Week 11 NFL picks and predictions weren’t kind to the road team.

The Kansas City Chiefs will play the New England Patriots this weekend in a Monday Night Football battle that probably isn't all that alluring to the ESPN executives. The Week 11 NFL picks and predictions don't exactly allude to the game being worthy of watching.

Andrew Sharp, SB Nation’s resident expert, chose the Patriots to cover the 16-point spread before finding a topic equally-important to the game worth writing about:

Also, since there’s nothing to say about Monday Night Football or the Kansas City Chiefs, here are few photos of Dwayne Bowe that I found on Getty Images this week. It’s all from the same photo shoot with Jamie Squire, and it’s all f***ing fantastic. Here he is jumping over the city.

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King also took a fun look at the game after predicting the Patriots would win a 31-10 snoozer.

The story is so neat: Tyler Palko, cut in the NFL (Arizona) and United Football League (California Redwoods) and unable to crack the Montreal Alouettes lineup in 2009, makes his first NFL start in Foxboro. On Monday night, Palko should find out that Bill Belichick -- and more importantly, rejuvenated pass-rusher Andre Carter -- are not actors in a Disney movie.

In a move that shouldn’t surprise anyone, the experts at CBS Sports, ESPN and Yahoo! Sports all picked the Patriots to win the Monday night primetime game as well.
