**NFL Week 11 Picks: Predictions for Chiefs, Eagles, Steelers, and More**

As we enter Week 11 of the NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated, a feat achieved through a series of nerve-racking victories. The Chiefs have consistently found new and dramatic ways to win every week, including a spectacular blocked field goal on the final play of their latest game. Their unbeaten streak since the Hallmark Channel announced a Christmas movie about them adds an extra layer of intrigue and perhaps, superstitious magic to their success.

Sunday promises the Chiefs' biggest challenge yet against the Buffalo Bills. Critics and fans alike are wondering if the Chiefs' incredible run will continue or if the Bills will manage to break their streak. The excitement isn't limited to this clash alone; Week 11 is densely packed with must-watch games across the league.

The NFC East also packs in the entertainment, particularly with the roller-coaster seasons of the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants. Recently, the Cowboys were in the spotlight not just for their on-field struggles but also because of the stadium design issues highlighted by team owner Jerry Jones. Now, after a humiliating loss to the Eagles, they face another formidable opponent in the surprisingly successful Washington Commanders.

The Commanders' recent turnaround can be attributed to several key changes, such as the removal of Dan Snyder and the acquisition of a franchise quarterback. However, their weak run defense, matched against the Eagles' powerful running game led by Saquon Barkley, suggests a tough battle ahead. With Barkley averaging over 110 yards per game and the Commanders giving up an average of 142.7 rushing yards per game, the Eagles look poised for another victory.

In the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for their first division game of the season against the Baltimore Ravens. Head coaches Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh, the longest-tenured coaches in the NFL, know each other’s strategies well. Historically, Tomlin's defense has managed to keep the Ravens’ offense in check, an advantage the Steelers will need against a Ravens team bolstered by Derrick Henry's powerful running game.

Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons are looking to rebound from painful Week 10 losses. The Broncos’ defense, one of the best in the league, will be critical in their matchup against the Falcons. Denver's ability to limit top quarterbacks this season will be tested again, and their effectiveness against Atlanta's Bijan Robinson may determine the game’s outcome.

Finally, the game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Chargers has been flexed to Sunday night, highlighting its importance. The Bengals, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, have shown an explosive offense but have also experienced close and often frustrating losses. With the Chargers boasting a strong pass defense, Burrow’s performance will be crucial. If the Bengals can turn the game into a high-scoring affair, their chances of securing a win look promising.

As Week 11 approaches, fans are in for a thrilling series of matchups that could significantly shape the playoff picture. From the Chiefs’ bid to stay undefeated to crucial divisional battles, this week promises high-stakes action across the board.
