Antonio stumbled a little in Week 10, going just 3-3 against the spread. But it’s just a slight speed bump for the pro, who is still 17-13 on the season. Here’s who Pierce likes in Week 11.

Cincinnati Bengals at Denver Broncos (-2.5)

PIERCE’S PICK: BRONCOS (-2.5)

As much as Denver’s defense has been picked apart over the last two weeks, it was the high-powered Eagles and Patriots. Not to mention, a lot of those points were a result of special teams and offensive miscues. This week the defense will at least get back on track against a Bengals offense that cannot protect their quarterback. I’ll trust the Broncos offense to take the ball out of Brock Osweiler’s hands, too.

Los Angeles Rams at Minnesota Vikings (-2.5)

PIERCE’S PICK: VIKINGS (-2.5)

No team has scored more points than the Los Angeles Rams this season. But before we call them the best offense in the league, look back at who they’ve been lighting up the scoreboard against: the Colts, 49ers, Cowboys, Cardinals, Giants, and Texans. The Vikings defense ranks fifth in points allowed and is very tough at home.

Washington at New Orleans Saints (-7.5)

PIERCE’S PICK: SAINTS (-7.5)

The New Orleans Saints are no longer just Drew Brees throwing for 300-plus yards to keep them in games. The offense has great balance with Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara in the backfield, and the defense ranks in the top eight in both points and yards allowed. Meanwhile, Washington’s defense is starting to crumble, and Kirk Cousins is really missing DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon. Brees is going to put a lot of points on the board, and Cousins won’t be able to keep up.

Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Chargers (-3.5)

PIERCE’S PICK: CHARGERS (-3.5)

The Los Angeles Chargers are far from a dominant defense, but they do one thing exceptionally well: rush the passer. Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa are the league’s best pass-rushing duo, combining for 18 total sacks in 2017. They will be too much for rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman in his first career start.

New England Patriots at Oakland Raiders (+6.5)

PIERCE’S PICK: PATRIOTS (-6.5)

Just like I said, the Patriots have solved their early-season defensive struggles, and have now allowed a measly 67 points over their last five games. The Raiders, on the other hand, continue to surrender points to bad offenses — see Miami, Buffalo, and Baltimore. Tom Brady is going to put on a show.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys (+2.5)

PIERCE’S PICK: EAGLES (-2.5)

Without Tyron Smith and Ezekiel Elliott, the Dallas offense is a mess. The reigning NFC East champs will again be without those two pivotal players, and will now have to deal with a much better defense than what they saw last week in Atlanta. The Eagles front four will be the difference in this game.
