Lou's Week 11 Pro Picks

Miami over Carolina
Miami’s Ronnie Brown is out for the season, so the starting job goes back to the infamous Sticky Icky Ricky. Williams has looked surprisingly strong with over 5 yards per carry on the season and more notably, no fumbles. With Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart questionable for Thursday’s game and rainy conditions predicted, the Phins could steal this one with solid running by Williams. Both teams get their star defensive player back from injury, Panther’s Julius Peppers and Miami’s Joey Porter, although I doubt either will be healthy enough to be a factor in this game.

Detroit over Cleveland
The battle of two of the most banged up and inept offenses of probably all-time face each other to find out who gets the most over-rated rookie that undoubtedly holds out for more money than he is worth next year. Cleveland’s head coach Mangini can’t make up his mind at quarterback and overall Detroit has the better weapons in RB Kevin Smith, WR Calvin Johnson and an improving Matt Stafford at quarterback.

Philadelphia over Chicago
Phili has one of the best turnover ratios in the league and Chi-town’s Jay Cutler coughs up more balls than Jenna Jameson. RB Brian Westbrook may be out for Philadelphia, but back-up RB LeSean McCoy has been effective and with strong play by McNabb, the Eagles should notch a much need win in their pursuit atop the NFC East.

Indianapolis over Baltimore
Indy puts up almost a TD more per game, has been stingier against opponent's scoring, forces more turnovers and kills the clock better than Baltimore. The Colts are still undefeated after nine games, Raven’s QB Joe Flacco hasn’t thrown for 200 yards in 3 games and LB Terrell Suggs is out. The Colts win this one at home.

Dallas over Washington
Pittsburgh over Kansas City
New Orleans over Tampa Bay
Arizona over St. Louis
Green Bay over San Francisco
Minnesota over Seattle
NY Giants over Atlanta
Jacksonville over Buffalo
San Diego over Denver
Cincinnati over Oakland
New England over NY Jets
Tennessee over Houston
