2019 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 11

Denver Broncos (3-6) at Minnesota Vikings (7-3)

Sunday, November 17, 1PM ET

After coming up with a key win in Week 10 against the Cowboys, the Minnesota Vikings pull a relatively easy matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. You can never take anything for granted in the NFL, but it’s just what the Vikings need to keep the ball rolling.

As good as the Denver defense has been at times in 2019, they aren’t ready to slow down the Vikings’ explosive offense. Whether it’s a revitalized Kirk Cousins or Dalvin Cook, the league’s leading rusher, Minnesota has too many ways of hurting opposing defenses. As long as the offensive line doesn’t crumble, the Vikings seem like the easy favorites in this one.

It doesn’t help the Broncos that they’ve got plenty of questions at quarterback. Brandon Allen may be getting his second start, or rookie Drew Lock could finally take the reins after missing the first half of the season with a thumb injury. Either way, the Vikings’ fearsome front four will be looking to feast.

The Vikings have yet to lose at home this season, and that shouldn’t change in Week 11. The Broncos haven’t been as much of a pushover as their record would indicate, but Minnesota should be able to put them away without too much trouble.

Prediction: Vikings win 27-16
