USA TODAY Sports' Week 11 NFL picks
Week 11 of the NFL season starts with two teams, the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, desperately trying to remain relevant in the NFC South when they meet Thursday night in Charlotte.
Sunday features a matchup of first-place clubs when Dak Prescott and the smoking Dallas Cowboys, winners of eight straight, host the resurgent Baltimore Ravens. Elsehwere, No. 1 draft pick Jared Goff will make his debut for the Los Angeles Rams against the Miami Dolphins.
Finally, the Oakland Raiders will "host" the Houston Texans as the NFL stages its first regular-season game in Mexico City since 2005.
