The Giants catch the Broncos off an emotional playoff revenge win as Peyton Manning threw a career-best 7 touchdown passes. On the flip side, the G-Men committed 6 turnovers in an ugly loss to the Cowboys, despite out-gaining Dallas by 147 yards. Eli Manning is 19-12 SU at home in games off a loss, including 4-0 the last four tries. He is also 8-1-1 ATS as an Underdog of late. This angle seals the deal. All NFL Home Underdogs of 3.5 or more points, that committed 6 or more turnovers in Week one, are 18-3 ATS the very next week. Take the home dog in this upset maker!

5*Arizona +4.5

5*Green Bay +4.5

5*Carolina +3.5

5*Baltimore Ravens +7.5


The Broncos will be without their three best defensive players against the pass in this game. The Ravens are extremely motivated as they are getting no respect. This is the largest spread ever for a defending Super Bowl Champion in their opening game. The Ravens pass rush will be much improved and former Bronco Elvis Dumervil will be pumped up going against his former team. They should get to Manning and cause enough distress to keep this game close.

5*Baltimore Ravens +4


The Ravens and 49ers are each playing great Football in all phases of the game. The 49ers defense is allowing 150 yards more per game in the postseason compared to the regular season. I think both teams are evenly matched and will glady take the points. Keep in mind, the lower seeded team has covered the number in 14 out of the past 18 Super Bowls. Quote the Ravens, Nevermore!

5*Colts +7


This line opened at -4.5 and has been bet up to this current line of -7. I think this line is at least 3 points higher than it should be. The Colts will be better prepared at stopping J.J. Watt who was a major problem for the Colts last time around, recording three sacks. Big game for the Colts and the head coach and I just don't see the Colts getting blown out in this spot. Take the Colts and the generous 7 points.

4*Jacksonville +4.5

5*Baltimore Ravens +3


The Ravens are going to feed Ray Rice the ball in this game and I don't think this Giant's defense will be able to stop him. This will set up some nice play-action passing for Flacco and company. Ravens get a big win in front of the home folks!

5*Pittsburgh Steelers -3


The Steelers own the Bengals at home and have a lot to play for. They need this game in the worst way and will have the home crowd behind them. Look for the Steelers defense to come up huge in this win.

5*Pittsburgh Steelers -1

10*Buffalo Bills +6


This game will be played at Rogers Centre inside a Dome. The Bills have played there five times including last year's 23-0 win over Washington. Buffalo gives up just 14 ppg in Canada regular season games. Seattle has played two indoor games this season and lost them both. The Bills have a +56 net yard average since Week eight and their defense is making huge strides since struggling early this past Fall. Five teams have scored 54 or more points in a single game since 1980. Those teams are just 1-4 SU and 1-4 ATS in their very next game. Take Buffalo in this upset maker!

5*Atlanta Falcons 0

5*Washington Redskins -1

5*Colts -5

5*Oakland Raiders +10.5


This will be Oakland's Super Bowl game. They have been waiting for this matchup ever since getting whacked 37-6 in Mile High earlier this year. Also, NFL home underdogs of 8 or more points are 23-2 ATS in the last three seasons. Take the home dog in this one!

5*Detroit Lions +4

10*Pittsburgh Steelers +3.5

The Steelers have been waiting for this game ever since getting swept by the Ravens last year. The Steelers lost 23-20 in November of 2011, despite out-gaining Baltimore 392-to-356. Baltimore is a shell of its former self missing numerous key players from last year's team. Pittsburgh should be focused knowing a win means a first-place tie in the AFC North.

I think Byron Leftwich will manage the game just fine, knowing the Ravens' defense allows 390 yards per game. Pittsburgh has the better defense by 130 yards and we're getting 3.5 points at home.

Byron Leftwich is 24-26 SU as a starter in this league. Not terrible and I look for Rashard Mendenhall's fresh legs to have a big impact on this game. He normally has big games coming off rest. Pittsburgh is 7-1 ITS (in the stats) their last eight games while the Ravens have been out-statted in five straight games. Take the Steelers and the generous 3.5 points.

The Steelers had two weeks to prepare and their 3-4 defense will be at full strength. Welcome back R. Mendenhall who always has big games after resting. Look for the running game to get going coming off the BYE week. The Eagles are coming off a very emotional win vs. the Giants and are primed for a letdown. Take the Steelers!

5*Indianapolis Colts +7


The Colts may not be winning games but when I crunch the numbers it's a much different story. Two weeks ago when the Colts lost to the Jaguars, Indy out-gained Jax by 104 yards. This team has talent and can score points on this Packers' defense. Have you seen the Packers' offensive line trying to protect Rogers? It's not good and certainly won't get better inside that dome. Playing home underdogs with losing records off their BYE week has been a huge money maker. These teams come out with a huge focus. Look for this angle in future weeks. The Wise Guys will too. Take the Colts in this upset maker!

The Steelers are notorious for starting slow and than peeking by mid-season. The Steelers did not have a great camp. This team is dealing with numerous injuries to front-line starters. Mike Wallace missed training camp and nearly all of the preseason holding out. He

5*Green Bay Packers -5


The 49ers were +28 in turnover margin last season. The ball definitely bounced their way more often than not. The Packers spent their first six picks on defense and the word I got out of Green Bay is that this team has a major chip on its shoulder. Check this out. NFL teams that had a +25 or more turnover margin are just 3-14 SU & 3-14 ATS if they open on the road the following season. Take the home team!

4*NY Jets -2.5

5*New England -2.5


The Public loves the Giants based on what they have done in the playoffs, but don't forget this team went 9-7 and made the Playoffs because the Cowboys choked it away. With two weeks rest the Patriots have focused on getting some revenge while the Giants have herd nothing but positive accolades from just about everyone on how great they are. The Public tends to be wrong nearly 70% of the time in the NFL. Take the Pats!

A lot of people would like to see Jake Delhomme start but the head coach knows what he is doing. Gary Kubiak played nine seasons as a back-up QB and has coached quarterbacks for most of his coaching career. TJ Yates looks very comfortable in this offense and will start. The Bengals have had a good season but this team has been out-gained in five straight games. Houston went 12-4 in the stats & Cincinnati went 7-9 ITS this season. Take the home team!

Arizona is undefeated since losing to the 49ers on November 20th. San Francisco has won five straight games vs. Arizona, but this is a great spot for the home team to end that streak. The 49ers clinched its first playoff birth since 2002 with last week's 26-0 whitewash over St. Louis and now travel to the dessert. Arizona has allowed just five touchdowns in its past five games. The offense should be better with Kevin Kolb
