WEEK 11

Let's see if we can keep the momentum going after last week's 5 - 1 effort. I've got a whopping nine games for you this week (including two teasers, which isn't typically my style, but I couldn't resist, and I'll probably pay for it). Let's get started...

Jets/Patriots O/U @ 41

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
Mangini is so obsessed with beating the Patriots it borders on sociopathic. And now that Favre has more than a half-season under his belt in the Jets offense, I'm betting Mangini's plan is to dump as many points as possible on the Pats (and you know Favre won't be able to resist the temptation to huck the ball on prime time television). Both teams should score more than 20 points each and top this total.

Texans +8 Colts (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Texans
Depsite last week's four interception effort, I'm a Rosenfels fan. I expect the Texans to put up some points against a Colts squad that's ripe for a letdown game coming off two big wins against the Steelers and Patriots, plus they face the Chargers next week. Fuck the Alamo — don't forget the Texans!

Titans O/U @ 21 vs. Jaguars (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
I was tempted to take the Jags in an upset over the only undefeated team in the league, but I think taking the Titans' team OVER at 21 is evenj more appealing. I expect two rushing touchdowns and at least one passing TD from the Titans.

Bears O/U @ 20 vs. Packers (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
The Pack's defense is hurting, especially in the run stoppping department. So regardles of who's starting at QB for the Bears, I expect a few touchdowns.

Chargers  +5  Steelers (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Chargers
The Chargers' season has been all about peaks and valleys. They're due for a peak performance. The Steelers, on the other hand, are dealing with a slew of injuries to key players, including Roethlisburger and Fast Willie.

7.5-pt. teaser
Vikings -3.5 Buccaneers (H) & 46 O/U

DeVoodoo's pick: Buccaneers/UNDER
I have a feeling this will be a low scoring affair that'll come down to a field goal, so I fought my better judgment to take a 7.5-pt. teaser to get the Bucs to +3.5 and pad the O/U to 46.

6.5-pt. teaser
Rams E 49ers (H) & 50 O/U

DeVoodoo's pick: 49ers/UNDER
The 49ers better win a game soon or Mike Singletary's head will explode onthe sideline in a misty cloud of red plumes. The 'Niners should beat this terrible Rams team. Teasing the points down to make this an EVEN spread and padding the O/U up seemed like the smart choice — like all teasers seem, until they cost you money.

Cowboys -1.5 Redskins (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Cowboys
The Cowboys aren't as bad as they've appeared recently, and the Redskins aren't as good. Furthrmore, the 'Boys get Romo back and Redskins don't even know if Portis will play.

Browns +5 Bills (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Bills
The Browns are falling apart at the seams, and the Bills have struggled of late, but they appear unified and determined to right the ship. Playing at home on Monday night, I'm expecting a statement game from the Bills.
