What's your top upset pick for Week 11?
Mike Clay, fantasy writer: Packers (+2.5) over Colts. Picking the Packers (7-2) feels like cheating, but here we are. Even in a game that was closer than expected this past week, the Packers still reached three offensive touchdowns for the eighth time in nine games this season. The Colts' defense is terrific, but the offense ranks 24th in touchdowns (28th adjusted for schedule). This should be a close one, but Aaron Rodgers & Co. will get the job done.
Jeremy Fowler, national NFL writer: Cowboys (+7.5) over Vikings. Dallas showed life against Pittsburgh, and the Cowboys will regroup coming off the bye. Minnesota should put up major yards against a maligned Dallas secondary, but that goes both ways. The Cowboys' receiving trio is still among the league's most potent, and Andy Dalton's return will provide some balance for a squeak-it-out win.
