Four-game run of Cards snapped at Philly, with the TO (3) the main culprit (Palmer: 3/2), as 'Zona held a 350-307 yd edge. Just a game back in WildCard hunt, & note that the Cards covered their last HG by 26 pts. Rams came from 40 ppg in their prior 2 outings, to just 13 at SanFran, with their only TD coming in the final 0:18. Arizona is 8-0 ATS as a Dec division host. Unnoticed Card "D" ranks 8th best overall in the NFL, with 2nd best run "D". Revenge the name of the game.

the upstart Seahawks have had their way, covering the last 3, including that 29-3 rout in week 2 of this year. That one was greatly aided by 5 Niner TOs. SanFran is clicking on "D", but note just 151 yds, 196 yds, 304 yds, & 338 yds in its last 4 outings. Thus, that spectacular "O" down '12 stretch ranks 30th in the NFL. Unthinkable! Seahawks 7-1 ATS Dec dogs off DD win, & Carroll a solid 13-2 ATS off .500+ opponents

Second trip to Met Life Stadium in less than a month for the Raiders, who lost to the Giants, 24-20, as 7-pt dogs on Nov 10th. Only 50 RYs for Oakland in Thanksgiving Day loss to Dallas, after entering at 141 RYpg. Blew a 21-7 lead in that one, but nailed the cover on a late Janikowski FG. Jets are the pits. Three straight losses (79-20 pt deficit), while managing just 12, 12, & 10 FDs. Haven't reached 100 RYs in last 8 gms.

Foles is now at 19/0 (3/0 LW), just 1 TD pass shy of Peyton's record 20/0 start. And he now owns Eagle record with 233 passes without a pick. So loss of Vick hasn't hurt Philly a bit. Two straight home wins for Eags, after dropping 10 straight. Lions finally did it up right in 40-10 annihilation of the Rodgers-less Pack, with 30-7 FD & 561-126 TY edges. Stafford, Bush, Bell, Johnson, etc. Now a game up in NFC North. But Detroit is 1-11 ATS off a DD SU/ATS win.

Brees comes into this one with 3,647 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions. New Orleans at 27.7 points per game, but just 3 2nd half points at 2-9 Atlanta last week.
The Seahawks come in with 13 straight home wins (franchise record), and an overall 16-2 SU run. QB Wilson has 4 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last 2 games, with 73% & 72% efforts. RB Lynch ranks 2nd in rushing (925 yards); and Percy Harvin has added a long-threat dimension. Until Seahawks' home dominance changes, it's the Hawks all the way.

The Chargers come into this one as one of six AFC team tied for a WildCard slot. Rivers an efficient 3/0 in comeback win over KC, leading a 78 yard drive to take it in final 0:24.

Buffalo comes in rested and off a 31-14 win over the Jets, but their rushing yards production is diving: from 241, to 95, to 68, in their last 3 games. They have just 16 & 14 first downs the past 2 games.
The Falcons have dropped 5 straight scoring less than 14 points in 4 of those 5, with Matt throwing only 5 touchdowns with 9 interceptions and have a rushing yard deficit of 1,193-552 over their last 7 outings. Plenty of negatives, but Atlanta's run is verging on debilitation

The Jets come in off an anemic effort at Baltimore, in which they managed only a field goal. Just 12 first downs in each of their last 2 contests, while not reaching 100 rushing yards in their last 7 games. QB Geno has 8 touchdowns with 18 interceptions.
The Dolphins are 2-2 since the scandal with highly similar 22-10 & 20-16 wins, along with 22-19, & 20-16 losses. Lost in last 0:43 to Carolina last week. they won 30-9 here last year.

Three straight wins for Tampa, after an 0-8 start. Just the 2nd NFL team to accomplish such a change ('78 St Louis Cards). But it has been the takeaway (5 last game, & 8 the last 2 weeks) that has propelled the Bucs (25-10 FD deficit last week).

San Francisco looked bad versus the Panthers last week managing not a single touchdown in a 10-9 loss. The 49ers came from a 919-418 rushing yard edge in their previous 5 outings games (all wins) to a 111-105 deficit versus Carolina.

Browns had last week off, but before their bye, they managed to snap an 11-game losing streak to the Ravens. Won that one, 24-18, behind an efficient 3/0 from Campbell & led the entire game.

The Bengals must regroup off 2 consecutive OT road losses by 22-20 & 20-17 margins. And those on heels of a 49-9 win. Dalton just 2/6 in those losses, following 11/2 showing previous 3 games. However, the home team is 10-1-1 ATS in Cincinnati games while Cleveland is 0-5 ATS at avenging division opponents.

Jags are no longer winless, taking Tennessee, with their largest outburst of the year of 29 points, which is 9 points higher than their previous high (20 points at St Louis). However, 4 turnovers led to 17 of those points, with Henne throwing for 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions & eventual 19-13 first down and 362-214 yard deficits.

Solid defense of Cardinals held Houston to 41 yards in 2nd half of last weeks 27-24 win so they should be able to bottle up Jacksonville's 32nd ranked offense. Even with the win last week the Jags are still on a 3-11 ATS run. .

Yet another record for rested Peyton, notably a best-ever 2,919 passing yard thru 8 games to start the season with 29 interceptions and 6 interceptions. A bit of a glitch in overcoming that 21-7 deficit versus the 'Skins: 3 interceptions and a fumble, before getting it going with 38 unanswered points. The Chargers were stung for 500 yards at Washington, but came from 16.9 points per game in their previous 5 games, to 24 versus the 'Skins. Rivers a solid 17 touchdowns with 7 interceptions and San Diego covered its last 2 home games by 11 & 12 points. The Broncos have an 87-85 point deficit in last 2 road games.

Losing Bradford turns the Rams into a run-first team now while cutting deeply into their psyche. Bradford was the guy the Rams were building around. The Titans are ground-oriented, too, and they have the superior runner in Chris Johnson. Tennessee can take advantage of a soft St. Louis run defense that entered Monday night's game against Seattle having yielded seven rushing touchdowns in seven games while surrendering the third most rushing yards. Jeff Fisher coached the Titans for 17 years until three seasons ago
