Week 10 is in the books, and we have some teams creating separation from others. We are less than two months away from the end of the season. My Week 10 record was 8-2, which makes for one of my better weeks in a long time. The overall record jumps to 83-47 and my winning percentage rises from 62.5% to 63.9%. My first loss came when the Patriots went to Tampa and defeated the Bucs in a tough one. My second and final defeat came when the Eagles went to Green Bay to beat the Packers 10-7. Denver, New England, Indianapolis, and the Los Angeles Chargers look like the top teams in the AFC. In the NFC, Philadelphia, Seattle, Detroit, and the Los Angeles Rams are the top teams with the Bears creeping up. I’ll be predicting another 12 games this week. Check out Trav’s NFL Week 11 Predictions for 2025 below.

The Thursday Night game will feature a couple of AFC East rivals. The New York Jets will head to New England to face the Patriots. The Jets have won two games in a row after losing their first seven games. New York made headlines after trading two of their defensive cornerstones for several draft picks. The Jets are looking into the future with the draft capital and future salary cap. Garrett Wilson could miss up to four weeks with a knee sprain also. The Patriots began the season with a 1-2 record but have won seven consecutive games. Drake Maye has played his way into MVP consideration. New England was my pick to finish third in the AFC East, but is 1.5 games ahead of Buffalo. I’m expecting them to continue this winning streak by defeating the Jets in this one. New England Win 31-20

The NFL continues to make the league a global one with this one. The Washington Commanders will take on the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain. The Commanders continue their disastrous season with a 3-7 record. Jayden Daniels will not travel with the team, so they’ll go with Marcus Mariota. Terry McLaurin will also miss this game. Daron Payne will also miss this game after being suspended for punching Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Dolphins enter this game with the same record as the Commanders. Miami have won two of their last three games after blowing out the Bills at home. Miami has a nice schedule ahead of them having to play the Saints and Steelers in their next two games. It feels like the energy in Miami is much higher than the one in Washington. I’m picking the Dolphins to pick up their third win in four games. Miami Win 27-17

The Carolina Panthers will head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. Carolina defeated this Falcons team earlier in the season 30-0. The Panthers had an impressive win in Green Bay a couple of weeks ago. They had a bad loss at home last week by losing to the Saints. Carolina needs this win seeing they’re a game and a half behind the Bucs. The Panthers still face Tampa Bay in two of their last three games of the season. The Falcons once promising season have taken a turn for the worse. Atlanta has lost four games in a row after their win over Buffalo. The Falcons have a shot to get back in the race because they face the Saints and Jets their next two games. I’m going with the Falcons to get revenge and end their losing streak. Atlanta Win 24-17

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will make a trip north to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Tampa still sits atop of the NFC South. They have dropped two of three games, and they face the Rams in Los Angeles next Sunday Night. The injuries the Bucs have dealt with are finally catching up with them. Tampa currently holds a game-and-a-half lead over Carolina in the division. Can the Bucs pull off the win in Buffalo? Buffalo began the season with a 4-0 record but have dropped three of their next five games. The Bills still possess the top running offense in the league. Buffalo has the Thursday Night game in Houston before going to Pittsburgh the following week. Both teams need a win. At home, I’m going with the Bills to win to get back in the win column. Buffalo Win 31-21

The red-hot Chicago Bears will head to Minnesota to face the Vikings. After beginning the season with a 0-2 record, the Bears have won six of seven games. Caleb Williams continues to deliver when the team needs it the most. The second-ranked rushing team in the league accompanies Chicago and Caleb Williams. The defense is still a work in progress as they rank in the bottom five in scoring. Can the Bears keep pace with the Lions? Minnesota is trying to put together some wins to compete for a Wild Card spot. The Vikings are just two games behind the Lions and this Bears team in the NFC North. The Bears are the better team, but can the Vikings find a way to win? I’m going with the upset in this one and picking the Vikings to win. Minnesota Win 26-24

The Cincinnati Bengals will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Cincinnati is coming off a couple of heartbreaking losses. In those losses, the Bengals scored 80 points in those two games. The Bengals are ranked last in rushing, and the defense is last in scoring. Cincinnati got some energy put back into the franchise when it comes to Joe Burrow. The Bengals opened the 21-day window for Burrow to return to the team. Pittsburgh have dropped three of their last four games heading into this game. They are only a game ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North and two ahead of this Bengals team. The Steelers have one of the worse offenses in the league. The offense should improve by facing the Bengals defense. This should be a high scoring game and I’m riding with the Steelers to win this one. Pittsburgh Win 38-31

The Los Angeles Chargers will make the cross-country trip to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. Los Angeles has put together a three-game winning streak to improve their record to 7-3. The Chargers is a game behind the Broncos and a game and half ahead of the Chiefs. The Chargers have dealt with injuries on both sides of the ball. The Chargers will have their much-needed bye week after this game. Can they make it four in a row? Jacksonville has lost three of their last four games. In their last defeat, the Jags had the Texans beat before they made a miraculous comeback. The team also learned that Travis Hunter will miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery. This is a must-win for the Jags, and I’m not sold on them, so I’m riding with the Chargers. Los Angeles Win 27-24

This is one of two big games in the NFC this weekend. The Seattle Seahawks will head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. These two teams are tied atop the NFC West and fighting for the top seed in the NFC. They will also meet again a week before in the Thursday Night game. Seattle is on a 4-game winning streak and dominated their last two games. Are the Seahawks legit or the product of a weak schedule? This game will prove a lot to everyone. The Rams are also on a 4-game winning streak headed into this matchup. Los Angeles was one of my top NFC teams to begin the season. Matthew Stafford is a front runner for league MVP this year. In a defensive matchup, I’m going with the Rams to win this game against Seattle. Los Angeles Win 20-17

The San Francisco 49ers will head to the desert to take on the Arizona Cardinals. The Niners have fallen two games behind in the loss column in the NFC West. San Francisco have lost two of three and three of their last five games. Brock Purdy is still on the sidelines, but Mac Jones has done an incredible job in his absence. The 49ers have a favorable schedule to finish their season. Can they defeat this tough Cardinals team? It appears that Kyler Murray has played his final game in Arizona. They put the former No. 1 pick on IR and have turned to Jacoby Brissett. Arizona was dealt another blow after Marvin Harrison Jr. was ruled out due to appendicitis. Arizona is still a tough team when they’re back against the wall, but not this one. San Francisco Win 31-21

The Kansas City Chiefs will head to Mile High Stadium to take on the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs had their 3-game winning snapped in Buffalo a couple of weeks ago. The Chiefs are two losses behind this Denver team. The defending AFC champs are in danger of missing the playoffs altogether. This will feel like a playoff game because the urgency from the Chiefs. Will Kansas City reverse their fortunes and knock off one of the teams trying to take their spot? Denver is currently riding a 7-game winning streak with Kansas City coming into town. The Broncos are tied with the Patriots and Colts atop of the AFC. The defense is one of, if not the best in the league. Can they make it eight in a row? This is a tough one, but I’m picking the Chiefs to barely edge the Broncos. Kansas City Win 20-19

The Detroit Lions will head to Philadelphia to battle the Eagles in the Sunday Night game. Many thought this would’ve been the NFC Championship game matchup last season. The Lions enter this game tied with the Bears atop the NFC North. Dan Campbell took over the offensive play calling last week and they ran all over Washington. This will be a much tougher game seeing the Eagles defense is top tier. Can they pick up the huge win on the road? The Eagles sit atop the NFC East and would be the top seed in the NFC if the season ended today. Philadelphia is facing more questions regarding the A.J. Brown situation. Will this situation result in the Eagles not able to repeat as Super Bowl champions? A.J. will be a factor in this game, but the Lions will have the last laugh and win. Detroit Win 31-24

We have the Monday Night game as the Dallas Cowboys traveling to Las Vegas to face the Raiders. Dallas enters this game with a 3-5-1 record and a slim playoff chance. They brought in Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson to help one of the league’s worse defenses. On the flipside, the Cowboys have one of the better offenses. Dak was in contention for league MVP, but it seems that talk is gone. Can Dallas end their two-game losing streak before hosting Philly next week? The Raiders are 2-7 and have lost three in a row themselves. Las Vegas has some pieces on both sides of the ball, but not enough to compete. Las Vegas did lose their last two games by a combined 4 points to Denver and Jacksonville. I’m taking the Cowboys to get back in the win column in this one. Dallas Win 34-21
