WILD CARD WEEKEND

Jets +3 Bengals (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Bengals
Last week's blowout loss to the Jets will mean one of two things for the Bengals come Saturday: A) The Bengals will carry self esteem issues into this week's match-up and get creamed again, or B) They'll galvanize and regroup to crush the Jets.

I'm betting the latter.

Eagles TEAM O/U @ 20.5 v. Cowboys (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
My favorite play of the weekend. The Eagles have an elite offense. Last week's fiasco against the Cowboys will stoke the fires of McNabb & crew. I'm not sure if Philly will win or cover the spread, but if they lose, a lack of points won't be the reason.

Packers +2 Cardinals (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Packers
I like this game for pretty much one reason -- I get the sense it's destiny for Green Bay and Minnesota to meet again this year. For that to happen, the Packers have to beat the Cardinals.

Ravens +3.5 Patriots (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Ravens
This is not the Patriots of yore. History is affecting this spread too much. And the Pats have no one to replace the immeasurable presence of WR Wes Welker.
