NFL Week 11: Green Bay Packers at Indianapolis Colts odds, picks and predictions
In what might be one of the best games of Week 11 in the NFL, the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers take their show on the road to play the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts.
Both teams are led by veteran quarterbacks who are looking to take advantage of a golden chance to make a deep postseason run as their careers wind down.
The Packers (7-2) played an unexpectedly close nail-biter against one of the worst teams in the NFL last Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Luckily for Green Bay, QB Aaron Rodgers found superstar WR Davante Adams for a touchdown in the fourth quarter that put them up for good, and led to a 24-20 victory.
The Colts (6-3) had a much taller task in their prior contest, going on the road against their AFC South rival Tennessee Titans. What changed the game for Indianapolis was the play of their special teams, which dominated Tennessee. A blocked punt from T.J Carrie completely changed the momentum and the Colts went on to a 34-17 win.
