2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 11

Cincinnati Bengals (2-6-1) at Washington Football Team (2-7)

Sunday, November 22, 1PM ET

It’s been a long season for both of these squads, but neither has had much luck on Sundays. As you can tell by their records, it’s looking like the end of 2020 couldn’t come soon enough. Regardless, they’re set to square off in Week 11 to determine who gets better draft positioning.

Right now, I believe the Washington Football Team has the edge in this one. While they’ve been far from impressive this season, their defense and stability on offense with Alex Smith under center should give them just enough to get the W against the Cincinnati Bengals.

As we saw last week in their near-comeback against the Detroit Lions, Washington is capable of getting things going on offense. Smith isn’t the most exciting option at quarterback, but he avoids turnovers and brings outstanding leadership to the field. D.C. also boasts an underrated defense that should give Joe Burrow fits all game long.

The Bengals won’t go down easy, as Burrow should keep the offense moving for most of the game. However, in the end, Washington makes just enough plays defensively to keep itself ahead on the scoreboard and gets its third win of the year.

Prediction: Washington wins 24-22
