WEEK 11

Dolphins  +3  Panthers (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Dolphins
Losing RB Ronnie Brown for the season hurts the Dolphins. But I think his replacement, Ricky Williams, will surprise as the new featured back. The Dolphins are playing solid football in all phases of the game. QB Chad Henne has proven himself a steady starter. Carolina has had its bright spots in recent weeks, but not enough to erase the memory of what a mess they were less than a month ago. 

49ers/Packers(H)  O/U  @ 41.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
The Packers offense should score points in the comfort of their own house. And I just have a feeling that the 49ers passing game will spark to life this week. 

Seahawks/Viking(H) 1st HALF  O/U  @ 23

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER
The Vikings have been starting slow all season. They like to establish the run before letting Favre wing it around. And I don't expect much out of the Seahawks offense on the road (or anywhere, for that matter). 

Saints/Buccaneers(H) 1st HALF  O/U  @ 27

DeVodoo's pick: UNDER
This is a crazy high first-half O/U. I mean, I know the Saints are the Saints, but still... They're on the road, and playing a team that can barely get first downs, let alone touchdowns. This is my favorite play of the week. 

Jets  +10.5  Patriots (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Patriots
A lot has changed since the Patriots lost to the Jets in the Meadowlands in week two. The Jets have zero confidence right now (HC Rex Ryan was reportedly crying at a team meeting a few days ago), and the Patriots have regained their groove. To top it all off, last week's Patriots loss to the Colts was a real stinger for Belichick's proud squad. Expect them to play awfully pissed off. 

Titans  +4.5  Texans (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Titans
Titans QB Vince Young returns to his home town for an oddly intriguing MNF match-up. The Texans just can't seem to win games they should, or need to, to remain relevant. Meanwhile, the Titans actually seem to believe they can turn this season around. I'll take the points.
