All of the national title contenders lived on the edge last week. None more so than Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish staved off defeat multiple times as they won a 3OT thriller against Pitt. K-State and Oregon were in battles but ultimately put away Oklahoma State and USC respectively, without too much of a scare. The nation's clear #1 team, Alabama, needed a last minute drive to overcome their arch-nemesis LSU. The schedule eases up a little for all of these teams this week. The Crimson Tide gets another ranked opponent in Texas A&M, but it's in Tuscaloosa. Things eased up a bit for me last week as I got back over .500. I hope to keep my winning ways going this week. Here is how I expect to see Week 11 of the college football season play out.

November is here. That means it is time for teams to put up or shut up. It is time for contenders to step up and position themselves for a championship run, and time for the pretenders to fall by the wayside. Most of the teams we expected to contend are right of the thick of things (minus the Eagles). But this is the NFL, and there are bound to be some teams sneak into the playoffs that weren't expected to be there. If the playoffs were to start today, we would have 3 new teams in the postseason field. Chicago, Indianapolis, and Seattle would all be in while Detroit, Cincinnati, and New Orleans would be out. It is also time for me step up my picks. I went 10-4 ATS last week, which is my best week of the season. I still own a losing record for the year, but I'm creeping my way back up. Here is how I expect Week 10 to unfold.

      
Indianapolis (-3.5) at Jacksonville

Prediction - Indianapolis 24 Jacksonville 15

      
NY Giants (-4) at Cincinnati

Prediction - NY Giants 30 Cincinnati 24

      
Tennessee (+6) at Miami

Prediction - Miami 27 Tennessee 20

      
Detroit (-2) at Minnesota

Prediction - Detroit 27 Minnesota 21

      
Buffalo (+11) at New England

Prediction - New England 21 Buffalo 17

      
Atlanta (-2.5) at New Orleans

Prediction - Atlanta 24 New Orleans 23

      
San Diego (+3) at Tampa Bay

Prediction - San Diego 28 Tampa Bay 27

      
Denver (-4) at Carolina

Prediction - Denver 28 Carolina 21

      
Oakland (+7.5) at Baltimore

Prediction - Baltimore 30 Oakland 17

      
NY Jets (+6) at Seattle

Prediction - Seattle 24 NY Jets 20

      
Dallas (-1.5) at Philadelphia

Prediction - Dallas 21 Philadelphia 17
