Texans +4.5 Vikings (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Vikings
The Vikes have had the foul taste of defeat in their mouths ever since that crushing loss to the Bear two weeks ago (including a bye). Look for this talented, yet underperforming squad to play hard against a Texans team that's enjoyed great success recently, but not against top tier competition.
Ravens +1.5 Browns (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Browns
True, this is not the impressive Browns team of 2007, but Romeo Crennel's roster is finally catching some fire. The Ravens, however, are far overdue for a correction. Add to the mix that this is a game of two division rivals with playoff hopes (the Ravens won their first meeting of the season), and the home team pick becomes even more appealing.
Dolphins -3 Broncos (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Broncos
Similar to the Vikings (above), the Broncos are coming off a bye week in which they had to strew over an embarrassing 41 - 7 loss to the Patriots. That special blend of anger, rest, and renewal will prove the difference in this one.
Packers +5.5 Titans (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Packers
The Titans are the real deal, but they're not going 16 - 0 this season. Loss #1 could very well come this week. The Titans are playing off a short week after their Monday night plastering of the Colts. By contrast, the Packers will be well rested after a bye week (catching the pattern here?).
Patriots O/U @ 17.5 vs. Colts (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
If the Colts lose this game, their season is essentially over, so expect a big offensive output from Manning and company. In return , I expect the Pats to keep pace and put points on the board.
