Week 11 of the NFL season starts tonight with another NFL Network game, so about 4.3% of the country will be able to watch it. And because it's Miami at Carolina only about 4.3% of those people are going to care.
But, we here at BRS don't judge such things, we just pick the games. So here goes....
Miami (+3) at Carolina
Gabe: Carolina - Carolina has been playing much better lately, especially in their running game. Steve Smith and DeAngelo Williams are banged up, which will just be exasperated by the short rest. But Miami is missing Ronnie Brown. Brown is the key to their Wildcat offense. I think the Carolina defense will step up and slow the Miami's-Ronnie-Brown-less offense. Carolina by 6.
Dave: Carolina - The Panthers have been a tough team to figure out all season, so they very well could get steam-rolled by a beat-up but always game Dolphins team. Still, not having Ronnie Brown hurts this team tremendously as he's not only the best running option but the main orchestrator of their base offense, The Wildcat. Plus, the Dolphins once-stout D has softened a bit(oddly enough, right after Joey Porter opened his yap) and that tends to be a concern when playing a team that can move the ball on the ground as well as the Panthers. I like the home team here, Panthers by 9, with Jake Delhomme throwing a TAINT just for old time's sake.
