NFL Week 11 kickoff times, TV info, betting spreads

Pittsburgh Steelers (4-5) at Cleveland Browns (0-10)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS (Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon)

Line: Steelers by 9

Injuries of note: Steelers DE Cam Heyward (pectoral) is now out for the season, and the team is still missing WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (foot), WR Markus Wheaton (shoulder) and RB DeAngelo Williams (knee). CB Tramon Williams' knee leaves him questionable for Cleveland.

Key to the game: Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell and WR Antonio Brown headline a group that’s capable of making explosive plays, but the Steelers rank near the middle of the league in scoring and in the bottom third in rushing offense. The Steelers want to get multiple players involved and use the no-huddle offense to keep the pressure on defenses, but they’ve become a little too reliant on the deep ball. Look for a run-heavy game plan early with the intent of opening things up for the passing game.

NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.

By the numbers: 4. The Steelers went for two points last week after all four of their TDs and didn’t convert any of them. They set an NFL record for most successful two-point conversions last season, but, given last week’s events, will coach Mike Tomlin employ a different philosophy?

USA TODAY Sports' Week 11 NFL picks

Baltimore Ravens (5-4) at Dallas Cowboys (8-1)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS (Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts, Evan Washburn)

Line: Cowboys by 7

Injuries of note: LB Elvis Dumervil (foot) and CB Jimmy Smith (back) are doubtful. Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) will be active for the first time this season.

Key to the game: WR Dez Bryant’s return and his ability to muscle smaller defenders has opened another avenue for the Cowboys. Throwing down the field could open up the run game even more.

Player to watch: Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott. The rookie posted his fifth 100-yard rushing game and his seventh in a row with more than 90 yards last week. The Cowboys have invested heavily in their offensive line, and the Elliott-heavy game plan won’t change this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-7) at Detroit Lions (5-4)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS (Andrew Catalon, Steve Tasker, Steve Beuerlein)

Line: Lions by 6½

Injuries of note: Lions No. 1 CB Darius Slay (hamstring) is set to return, thought LB DeAndre Levy (knee) probably needs more time.

Key to the game: Act the part. The Lions backed into first place without playing, but they overcame a three-game losing streak early in the season to get here. This might be the kind of game, against a reeling bottom dweller at home, that Detroit would have squandered in the past. If this season is different, it will capitalize on its good fortune and put away an inferior foe.

By the numbers: 12. The Jaguars have gone five games without a takeaway, during which they’re minus-12 in turnover differential.

Fantasy football rankings: Week 11

Tennessee Titans (5-5) at Indianapolis Colts (4-5)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS (Spero Dedes, Solomon Wilcots)

Line: Colts by 3

Injuries of note: Tennessee had no one on their injury report Friday. For the Colts, DE Kendall Langford (knee) is out, CB Patrick Robinson (groin) is doubtful, and DT Art Jones (illness) is questionable.

Key to the game: Stopping the run: The Titans, for the most part, have been outstanding against the run, holding opponents fewer than 100 rushing yards six times and going 4-2 in those games. The Colts, on the other hand, have held opponents under the century mark only twice, going 1-1. If Tennessee can exploit that lopsidedness, they can win this game.

Player to watch: Delanie Walker. The Titans’ speedy, bruising tight end racked up 11 targets last week, more than double anyone else, and caught nearly everything thrown his way, finishing with nine receptions for 124 yards and a TD. The Colts have struggled shutting down tight ends all season, so if anyone from Tennessee is going off with big stats in this one, it’ll be Walker.

NFL MVP tracker: Ezekiel Elliott knocks Matt Ryan from pedestal

Buffalo Bills (3-4-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) 

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS (Thom Brennaman, Charles Davis, Chris Spielman, Holly Sonders)

Line: Bengals by 4½

Injuries of note: Bills DT Marcell Dareus (groin), LB Jerry Hughes (hand) and WR Robert Woods (foot) are questionable.

Key to the game: Bengals QB Andy Dalton endured 28 sacks over his first nine games, and some of those were a result of him holding on to the ball too long. Bills coach Rex Ryan knows how to get after quarterbacks and disguise coverages, so Dalton will need to be quick with his reads or he’ll be in for a long afternoon.

Player to watch: Bills QB Tyrod Taylor. He played arguably the best game of his career in a 31-25 road loss to the Seahawks two Mondays ago. The second-year starter completed 71% of his passes and seemed more decisive with his reads. He elevated the play of those around him. For the Bills to have any chance of making the playoffs, he’ll need to continue to build on that performance.

NFL playoff picture: Three teams could join Seahawks as division winners

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) at Kansas City Chiefs (7-2)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox (Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Laura Okmin)

Line: Chiefs by 7½

Injuries of note: The Chiefs will be without WR Jeremy Maclin (groin). OLB Justin Houston (knee) could make his season debut, while LB Derrick Johnson (hamstring), CB Marcus Peters (hip) and DT Dontari Poe (knee) are all officially questionable.

Key to the game: Creating turnovers. The Chiefs consistently do it better than any other team in the NFL with 22 takeaways and a plus 14 ratio. Tampa Bay was minus-3 before Sunday but is even after taking it away from Chicago four times. The Bucs will have to be almost perfect to win in Kansas City.

Matchup to watch: Peters vs. Buccaneers WR Mike Evans. Evans is Winston’s favorite target and has 59 receptions for 811 yards and eight TDs. Peters, who has five interceptions, might not be on him very often, as he has missed practice with a hip injury and rarely shadows top opponents. The Chiefs will have to decide how much safety help will be needed to limit Evans.

Report: Tony Romo wanted to compete with Dak Prescott for Cowboys' QB job

Chicago Bears (2-7) at New York Giants (6-3)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox (Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch, Pam Oliver)

Line: Giants by 7

Injuries of note: Bears RG Kyle Long (ankle) went on IR and T Bobby Massie (concussion) is unlikely to play. WR Alshon Jeffery (suspension) is also out. RB Jordan Howard is coping with ankle and Achilles issues. Giants WR Victor Cruz (ankle) was not on the final injury report.

Key to the game: After what might be his second-worst game with the Bears, QB Jay Cutler will have to rebound against a pesky and improving Giants unit known for its aggressiveness under Spagnuolo. Giants DEs Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon will try to tee off on Cutler behind a line likely missing its starters on the right side, Long and Massie.

Matchup to watch: Bears CB Tracy Porter vs. Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr.: It’ll take a village to slow Beckham, who has 31 TDs in his first 36 NFL games. Porter has quietly been outstanding for the Bears, keeping TD machine, Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans, out of the end zone Sunday and off the stat sheet before halftime. But he is dealing with a bum knee.

Dallas Cowboys aren't just America's Team. They're Mexico's, too

Arizona Cardinals (4-4-1) at Minnesota Vikings (5-4)

TV: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox (Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Erin Andrews)

Line: Pick ’em

Injuries of note: Cardinals defenders Deone Bucannon (ankle) and Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) are questionable, but WR Larry Fitzgerald (knee, ankle) is ready to go. Vikings LB Eric Kendricks (hip), CB Captain Munnerlyn (ankle) and CB Marcus Sherels (ankle) are questionable.

Key to the game: Unpredictable passers: Cardinals QB Carson Palmer was playing at an MVP level last season, and Vikings QB Sam Bradford was one of the most pleasant surprises of the opening month of this season. Both have been unable to sustain that level of play, and their teams are going to need them to carry the load Sunday.

Matchup to watch: Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson vs. Vikings WR Stefon Diggs. One of the few remaining weapons on the Minnesota offense, Diggs has been a key to the Vikings’ success — and has been hot recently. When he’s catching passes and making plays, Bradford can move the chains. But Diggs has been known to disappear when playing against a top-flight cover corner.

Miami Dolphins (5-4) at Los Angeles Rams (4-5)

TV: Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET, Fox (Chris Myers, Ronde Barber, Jennifer Hale)

Line: Pick ‘em

Injuries of note: Dolphins LT Branden Albert (wrist) will not play, and C Mike Pouncey (hip) is doubtful. Rams DE Robert Quinn (dehydration) remains a question mark, while DE Eugene Sims is still dealing with a concussion.

Key to the game: Coach Jeff Fisher finally replaced starting QB Case Keenum with rookie No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff. Will Goff make a difference in the red zone, where the Rams failed to capitalize three times last week inside the Jets’ 10? That will be a key.

Player to watch: Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill. After riding the running of Jay Ajayi for three consecutive games, the Dolphins needed to rely on Tannehill last game, and he responded well, rallying the Dolphins from a 10-0 deficit. He hasn’t been spectacular during the winning streak, but he has been efficient and error-free with four TD passes and zero INTs in the last four games.

New England Patriots (7-2) at San Francisco 49ers (1-8)

TV: Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS (Greg Gumbel, Trent Green, Jamie Erdahl)

Line: Patriots by 14

Injuries of note: Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (punctured lung) won't play, and neither will WR Chris Hogan (back). CB Rashard Robinson (knee) and WR Torrey Smith (shoulder) are questionable for San Francisco.

Key to the game: Will QB Tom Brady be needed? The 49ers run defense has been so pathetic this season that it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see New England throw the ball 15 to 20 times and still win going away. Knowing Bill Belichick, he’ll probably come out throwing.

Player to watch: Patriots RB LaGarrette Blount. With Dion Lewis back, the Patriots have a more balanced running attack, but Blount is still the central figure in New England’s ground game. Until Sunday, San Francisco’s run defense couldn’t stop anyone. The 49ers were able to corral Arizona’s David Johnson in a close loss to the Cardinals, and they undoubtedly will focus on trying to slow Blount this week.

Philadelphia Eagles (5-4) at Seattle Seahawks (6-2-1)

TV: Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS (Jim Nantz, Phil Simms,Tracy Wolfson)

Line: Seahawks by 6

Injuries of note: Eagles TE Zach Ertz (hamstring), WR Jordan Matthews (back) are questionable, but CB Nolan Carroll has recovered from a concussion. Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (fibula) will make his long-awaited return, but DE Michael Bennett (knee) is out another week.

Key to the game: Don’t panic: Seattle boasts perhaps the NFL’s most daunting home-field advantage and is 4-0 there this season. Facing a killer defense in an insanely loud building will be a monumental challenge for Philadelphia’s Carson Wentz. He’ll have to stay poised and keep his wits about him to avoid mistakes. That would not only cost his team, but turn up the crowd volume that much more.

By the numbers: 129.7. Seattle QB Russell Wilson has been playing through knee and ankle injuries and hadn’t quite been the dynamic playmaker of previous seasons. That has changed in the last two weeks. In those two victories, Wilson has completed 45 of 63 passes (71.4%) for 630 yards with five TDs and no INTs for a 129.7 rating. He scored his first rushing TD of the season. In the marquee matchup at New England, he passed for 348 yards and three TDs — both season highs.

Green Bay Packers (4-5) at Washington Redskins (5-3-1)

TV: Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC (Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, Michele Tafoya)

Line: Redskins by 3

Injuries of note: For the Packers, G T.J. Lang (foot), CB Damarious Randall (groin), LB Jake Ryan (ankle) and C J.C. Tretter (knee) are all out, but LB Clay Matthews (hamstring) could return. Redskins WR DeSean Jackson (shoulder) is questionable.

Key to the game: Pound on the ground. Redskins coach Jay Gruden seems to have found the answer he has been looking for at running back in bruising Rob Kelley, who has averaged 92 yards a game and hasn’t fumbled in two games since replacing fumble-prone Matt Jones as the featured back. Green Bay is searching for an answer with Eddie Lacy on injured reserve and backup James Starks in and out because of injuries. The Packers have only three rushing TDs this season — all by QB Aaron Rodgers.

Matchup to watch: Rodgers vs. Redskins QB Kirk Cousins. While Rodgers has thrown for 12 TDs in his last four games, the two-time league MVP has thrown seven INTs — three in the last two weeks. Cousins doesn’t have flashy numbers, but he seems at last to have found consistency and maturity. No longer do his mistakes snowball into disasters.

Houston Texans (6-3) vs. Oakland Raiders (7-2)

TV: Monday, 8:30 p.m. ET in Mexico City, ESPN (Sean McDonough, Jon Gruden, Lisa Salters)

Line: Raiders by 5

Injuries of note: Texans NT Vince Wilfork (groin), WR Will Fuller (leg) and CB A.J. Bouye (ankle) all are day-to-day, but RB Alfred Blue (calf), RB Jonathan Grimes (illness) and WR Jaelen Strong (ankle) continue to miss practice. The Raiders are relatively healthy coming out of their bye week.

Key to the game: Fútbol Americano: For the first time since 2005, an NFL game will be played in Mexico. Oakland and Houston will square off in the same stadium that hosted that game. Last time, a crowd of more than 100,000 booed every field goal attempt, preferring teams to go for it on fourth down.

Player to watch: Raiders RB Latavius Murray. How will Murray follow up his 114-yard, three-TD performance against the Denver Broncos? While QB Derek Carr’s ability to make plays in the passing game is vital to Oakland’s offensive flow, if Murray can rattle off a few big gains and find the end zone once, twice or even thrice, the Raiders will have a tremendous edge.
