Throughout the 2024 season, 撸先生AV Network analysts will provide one bold prediction heading into each week's slate of games (see the full Week 11 schedule).
Based on the past month's results, it'd be fair to assume there will be a ton of scoring in this weekend's Ravens-Steelers bout. Baltimore has averaged 35.3 points per game over its last four games, putting up 40-burgers on the Buccaneers and Broncos, while Pittsburgh ranks third in points per game (30.8) since Week 6 (behind only Detroit and ... Baltimore). That said, I think this is going to be a defensive showdown -- especially if T.J. Watt (6.5 sacks) and Kyle Van Noy (seven sacks) have anything to say about it. These rival teams will combine for 12 sacks.
Just a few months ago, who could have imagined Kareem Hunt would be the driving force behind the 2024 Chiefs' offense? Filling in for the injured Isiah Pacheco, Hunt leads the team in scrimmage yards and is tied for the lead in touchdowns. He should add to that against a Bills defense that has been gashed on the ground. With Pacheco potentially returning soon, Hunt鈥檚 swan song as a workhorse back could end with a bang. I envision two touchdowns.
So far in his strong rookie season, Bo Nix has logged two games (in Weeks 5 and 8) with multiple passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. In Sunday鈥檚 matchup with the Falcons, he鈥檚 going to level up. Nix will do what only two other rookies have done in the last 40 years: notch multiple touchdowns through the air and on the ground in a single game. He finishes with 30-plus fantasy points.
There are plenty of intriguing storylines in Sunday's Chiefs-Bills game. One question is obvious: Can Kansas City continue its magical winning ways? That remains to be seen, but I love when matchups show a drastic difference between an offense and defense. In this contest, we'll see Buffalo's third-ranked scoring offense face Kansas City's fifth-ranked scoring defense. I am partial to my man Steve Spagnuolo, the architect of our 2007 New York Giants' Super Bowl-winning defense. I think Spags' defense puts the clamps on Josh Allen and holds the Bills' offense to fewer than 20 points for the first time since Week 4. This forecasts sees another last-second win for Kansas City.
Russell Wilson and George Pickens clearly have chemistry and have helped get the most out of each other in just three games together. Expect them to go off this week in a game Pittsburgh will likely throw more than usual. With the Ravens allowing the most yards and touchdowns to QBs and WRs this season, Russ and Pickens each finish in the top five of their positions in fantasy.
