WEEK 13

I hope your turkey is as tasty as all three of the Thanksgiving games. Actually, we've got quite a few tasty games on tap for the holiday weekend. But the Thursday games first...

Lions (H)  O/U  @ 17 vs. Titans

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
There aren't many remaining opportunities for the Lions to earn some measure of respect for themselves. A prime time Thanksgiving game against the league-best Titans offers a rare chance at redemption. The Lions should still lose the game, but I bet they put up a few points in a valiant effort.

Seattle  O/U @ 17 vs. Cowboys (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
Hasselbeck desperately wants to forget last week's debacle. He'll use this national stage game to help everyone else forget about it too. 

Cardinals/Eagles (H)  O/U @ 46.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
McNabb will play pissed off, which should help. Warner and company will put up a ton of points as well, which is their norm. 

Broncos  +7.5  Jets (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Broncos
The Jets have been hot, but they'll hit a little turbulence this weekend against a Broncos team whose worst football is already behind them.  

Saints  +3.5  Buccaneers (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Saints
Brees is in a zone; and the Bucs' questionable running game should bite them in the ass this weekend. 

Giants/Redskins (H)  O/U  @41.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
Two very good offenses squaring off in a division game? 41.5 points seems awfully low to me. 

Chiefs  O/U @ 20 vs. Raiders (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's freshly installed spread offense is about the only positive thing going for the Chiefs right now. Playing against their division rivals, and with few opportunities to win future games this year, look for the Chiefs to fight hard (if in fact their will isn't already completely broken) and try to beat the Raiders with sheer offensive power alone. 

Bears  +3  Vikings (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Bears
Should be an excellent Sunday Night Football match-up. I'll take the slightly more dynamic Bears team over the one-dimensional Vikings squad.
