DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER
I don't see the Raiders turning around their offensive misfortunes until at least the 2012 season, or until Al Davis dies, whichever comes first. But you gotta give the Raiders D some credit. They're tough. On the other side of the ball, the Texans D has a LOT to prove. They've been terrible. The Raiders are exactly the team you want to play (at home, no less) when you need to get your defensive mojo back.
Titans -3 Jaguars (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Titans
I just don't see the Titans going 0-4 to start the season. Jacksonville barely has a home field advantage since nobody goes to their games.
Ravens +2 Patriots (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Ravens
I'm speculating that things get a little worse in Foxboro before they get better. Everything about the Patriots is just out of sync right now. Brady isn't back to form, receivers are hurt, the O-line is mediocre at best, and the defense has lost too many key players from the days of yore. Conversely, the Ravens are firing on all cylinders.
Cowboys/Broncos(H) O/U @ 42.5
DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER
I'll admit I didn't expect this kind of season at all from the Broncos. That said, they're the worst 3-0 team I've ever seen. D-coordinator Mike Nolan has his squad playing smart football. Add to that all the troubles with injuries and ineptitude the Cowboys are suffering on offense, I'm sorta kinda thinking this will be a mile-high barn-burner.
Packers +3.5 Vikings (H)
DeVoodoo's pick: Vikings
I'm conflicted on this pick. On the one hand (the emotional one), I want to see Brett Favre get his ass handed to him by his former team of 16 seasons. But sadly I just don't see it happening on Monday night at home. In fact, I think the Vikings will crush the Packers. The Pack will have to wait until they host the Vikes at Lambeau for a shot at Favre-flavored revenge.
