I guess that means White will see a lot more snaps? And don't look now, but Delhomme hasn't thrown a pick in 3 games. The Panthers lost their pro-bowl left tackle, but it didn't seem to bother them against the Falcons. Of course, Miami has the 5th best rush defense. I think it'll be ok. I'll give the points. Week 11
Thursday, 8pm
Miami at Carolina -3
Brown is out, and he’s the centerpiece of the Wildcat. I guess that means White will see a lot more snaps? And don’t look now, but Delhomme hasn’t thrown a pick in 3 games. The Panthers lost their pro-bowl left tackle, but it didn’t seem to bother them against the Falcons. Of course, Miami has the 5th best rush defense. I think it’ll be ok. I’ll give the points.

Standings update next week... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday 8pm Bears at Niners (-3) I liked the Niners at home. The Bears don't travel all that well. I didn't anticipate 5 interceptions, but I'll take it. Sunday 1pm Falcons at Panthers (+1.5) This line is too small. The Falcons are good, people! They lost to three of the better teams in the league. I'll give the points. Spread should be 5 or 6. Buccaneers at Dolphins (-10) The Dolphins don't cover spreads. Their offense isn't explosive enough. I'll take the points. Lions at Vikings (-16.5) Obviously the Vikings will win, but will they win by 17? That seems like too much. Johnson and Stafford will play, so that should help (assuming its not a pick-fest). Take the points. Jaguars at Jets (-7) The Jets are thinking about nothing but the Patriots. I expect the Jets to win, but they won't win by more than a touchdown. I will take the points. Bengals at Steelers (-7) Wow, the Steelers are getting an awful lot of respect, especially since the Bengals already beat them once. I'll take the points in what I expect to be a close game. Saints at Rams (+14) Erm...Saints. Bills at Titans (-8) I think Vegas and everyone else is all hyped about the resurgent Titans and the spread is inflated. Still think the Titans will win because Young is awesome, but the spread should be 3 or 4. I'll take the points. Broncos at Redskins (+3.5) The Broncos have lost two in a row, but against decent teams. The Redskins are not decent. I'll give the points. 4pm Chiefs at Raiders (-2) Saw this trend. The road team has won the past 6 games in this series. I will go along with that. I'll take the points. Seahawks at Cardinals (-9) It's a divisional battle and not much travel for the Cardinals. They will win by plenty. Seattle just doesn't have a strong enough O-Line to run or pass significantly enough to keep up with the Cardinals. Assuming low turnovers, I'm going to give the points. Cowboys at Packers (+3) The Packers O-Line is TERRIBLE and this game is going to be ugly. Aaron Rogers is going to get killed. Oh, and if you haven't noticed, Romo and Miles Austin are on freaking fire. Give the points. Eagles at Chargers (-1) I like the Eagles as an underdog. The Chargers are overrated. They're getting it done on Rivers' heroics alone. McNabb will bounce back and maybe running the ball will be in the gameplan against the Chargers who are pretty poor agains the run. I'll take the point. 8pm Patriots at Colts (-2.5) The Colts have a better offense and a better defense and they're at home. I have no problem giving these points. Monday 8pm Ravens at Browns (+11) Who scheduled the Browns on MNF? Whatever, the Ravens absolutely NEED this game and they will show up. They will destroy the Browns. I'll give the big number. And here are Al’s picks. Standings update next week…
