11-30-14 | Denver Broncos v. Kansas City Chiefs +1.5 | 29-16 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 50 m | Show | |
The Chiefs have had ten 10 days to sit and stew about their lack of concentration in their L/game to Oakland by a 24-20 count. Meanwhile, this will be Denver's fourth road game in its last five, and this is a great spot for KC to pull off the win. According to the lines makers this is a very even matchup. Home field advantage will be the difference maker. The Chiefs are 5-0 ATS in their last five games against winning teams.Denver is 1-2 SU and ATS as a road favorite of a field goal less since Manning joined the team in 2012.

11-30-14 | New England Patriots +3 v. Green Bay Packers | 21-26 | Loss | -100 | 44 h 47 m | Show | |
The Patriots have won seven in a row and have the AFC’s best record. In their last three wins, New England has taken down a division leader—respectively, the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions—by at least three touchdowns . The the Packers have won six of their last seven and trail only the Arizona Cardinals (9-2) in the NFC standings, and are undefeated at home. Both teams are having tremendous seasons, and Im betting todays tilt will be hard fought, and won by a late score. My bet is on New England , getting points with Brady being just one tiny step ahead of Rodgers. Note:Patriots QB Tom Brady is 33-15-1 ATS as a dog in his NFL career, The Pats are also 9-2 ATS versus the NFC North, including 6-0 ATS away.

11-30-14 | San Diego Chargers v. Baltimore Ravens -6 | 34-33 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 39 m | Show | |
Running back Justin Forsett has been the AFC Offensive Player of the Week in back-to-back games, and the Ravens plan to ride him down the stretch and here today. The Ravens are coming off a game where they absolutely destroyed the Saints with their ground attack and put up a season-high 215 rushing yards. The Chargers are 15th in the NFL at defending the run, so the Ravens will stick with the ground-and-pound approach this week on their way to what Im betting will be a hefty win. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is 29-0 SU and 21-8 ATS in his career as a non-division favorite.

Its almost a weekly occurrence now, as Florida State seems to find a way out of bad situations and turn losses into wins. Its been a long time since I have seen a team get so lucky. This week the party might come to end, but more importantly as far as we are concerend we are backing a side tht can get us a cover (Florida). It must be noted tha the Seminoles are a ugly 2-11 ATS as home favorites of 14 or less points. Play on the Florida Gators to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-29-14 | BYU v. California -4 | 42-35 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 35 m | Show | |
The Cougars last three wins were against inferior competition , so all the media hoopla associated with their run should be taken with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, California has come along way since last year, thanks a offense that can score against some of the best teams in the nation, averaging 38.5 ppg. BYUs defense is far from strong and should easily get sliced and diced today. I know the Bears D is also bad, but the offenses that have beaten up on them are much better than Cougar opposition, so they will be ready today for the Cougars attack.

Its obvious the Orange offense is struggling, and will once again have difficulty scoring this week vs a staunch BC D. Syracuse defeated Boston College last year , in a 34-31 game.

This is a three-touchdown spread, the highest in at least 29 years of this rivalry. Sure its a game both teams have circled on their calenders, but all the more reason to like a top tier team like Ohio State, that is guaranteed to be awake and ready to play.

No matter what the Bulldogs say Im betting their spirits are a little on the down side today, as. No. 17 Missouri (10-2) rallied to beat Arkansas 21-14 on Friday, clinching the SEC East. Meanwhile, The Yellow Jackets already have clinched a spot against top-ranked Florida State in the Atlantic Coast championship game and are in the running for an Orange Bowl berth.The Yellow Jackets are also eager to make up for 2013's double-overtime loss to Georgia, in which the Yellow Jackets squandered a 20-0 lead.The difference makers today will come via Georgia Techs No.1 conversion rate on third down, moving the chains an amazing 58.3 percent of the time (77 of 132). The Yellow Jackets aren't too bad when they go for it on fourth down, either, making 9 of 13 (69 percent). Play on GTech to cover 1 unit reg selection |

The Cardinal (6-5, 4-4) have won six straight meetings between the California schools heading into the Cardinal's latest trip to the Rose Bowl on Friday vs UCLA. Hundley and Mora have lost three times to Kevin Hogan and coach David Shaw in the previous two years alone. UCLA's offense has scored at least 30 points in seven of its last eight games, but Stanford has allowed 30 points just once this season. I know alot of pundits think that the Bruins will be ready for the Cards but no matter what Im still thinking that after playing and beating the USC Trojans last week they will be in a let down situation. It must be noted that UCLA has failed to cover 5 straight times after playing USC and failed to cover 4 straight in back to back home games. Play on Stanford to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-27-14 | Seattle Seahawks +1 v. San Francisco 49ers | 19-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
Seattle may have not lived up to their championship status this season, but when crunch time comes around and big games are concerend Ill always back a team like the Seahawks. SF is a fine team , but very inconsistent. Both these sides play the same type of hard nose football, but the edge in my opinion goes to the Seahawks , who dominated Arizona last week, and last year ate the Denver Broncos alive in the Spuer Bowl. The hunger has returned and Seattle is dangerous. Play on Seattle 1 unit reg selection |

11-27-14 | TCU v. Texas +7 | 48-10 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 4 m | Show | |
The Horned Frogs enter this game fighting for their playoff lives, and the Longhorns are in prime position to play the roll of spoiler on a big stage. The Longhorns has remained a steady anchor of the team from day one of this season, and the offense despite of starting slowly has now become much more consistent behind QB Tyrone Swoopes.The Longhorns are tied for the Big 12’s best scoring defense with Kansas State at just 21 points allowed per game.In the last five games, the Longhorns are 4-1, losing only to Kansas State a month ago. The key todays game will be the ability to intefer with TCUs smooth offense, and behind a scary aggressive attacking defense are capable of doing this.It must be noted that Texas has 37 sacks this season, most in the Big 12 and No. 7 in the nation. Final notes & key Trends: TCU is 2-29 SU in this series, and last year as 3 point favs lost straight up to Texas. Whether, the Longhorns can pull off the SU win is of little importance to me, but what I am betting is that will be in this contest to the end, and thus I am recommedning we take the points.

The Baltimore Ravens travel to New Orleans for a Week 12 Monday Night Football matchup against the Saints. Orleans is 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS in its last seven Monday Night home games, and a bookie busting 18-0 ATS as favorites off a non-division confrontation going against an AFC opponent off a SU victory (like Baltimore). I know the Saints have not looked good of late, but tonight, with some playoff desperation , starting to show, Im betting the Saints finally wake up and show us their real talent and coast to victory behind the arm of QB Drew Brees and a defense that needs to get back their mojo. Ravens are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.Saints are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 home games. Play on the New Orleans Saints to cover 1 unit reg selection |

The 3-7 New York Giants host the 7-3 Dallas Cowboys this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. A loss would officially eliminate the Giants from the NFC East race, and possibly from the playoffs entirely , so you can bet we will get a desperation effort out of them this evening. I know the stats and overall numbers to this point in the season do not favor the Giants, but with a super bowl QB and coach on their side, are more than capable of at least one inspiring effort. Tonight against their long time rivals the Cowboys Im betting will be one of those inspirational nights. Cowboys are 4-10 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Favs like Dallas off a win in London England are 0-5 ATS all-time in division games in their return to the US. Play on the NY Giants to cover 1 unit reg selection |

It must be noted Broncos enter 6-0 ATS off a SU favorite loss in which hey scored 10 or less points. Meanwhile, Miami played well last week in a win, but they are 0-6 ATS L/6 away after a SU win.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll knows how important this game is vs Arizona.“There’s so much at stake coming up here in the next month and a half,” Carroll said. “I think it’s a really cool time of the year. Everything’s still out there, and everybody’s got to win. I think this is a great time to be watching NFL games because every game will be so crucial. Everybody is feeling like that.” Im a big Pete Carroll fan, and impressed by his ability to get the most out of his usually talented teams. There has been some disrespect for the defending Super Bowl champs, but today in the Clink, Im betting the Seahawks send a message to the league, that their still around and ready to defend their championship against the 9-1 Cards. Seattle is at its best at home against .900 or better opposition, going 8-0 ATS. Play on the Seattle Seahawks to cover 1 unit reg selection |

After a disappointing loss to the Cardinals in which the offense put up only six points. Now Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi decided to cut playcalls by 20 percent this week. This team can score and move the ball, but their articulate and concise planning in all aspects of the game is getting to them. This week more free flow is on the agenda and Im betting it helps them a great deal. The Lions still posses the leagues no 1 defense, and the Pats explosive offense will not slice and dice them as easily as they have other teams."We're not going in with this mindset that, 'Oh, they're unbelievable, they're so amazing,'" said safety James Ihedigbo. "We are the number one defense in this league. We earned that."It's one of those games where you've got to play like it." I agree with this quote and Im backing the Lions to be at their best.

The bi- polar Bengals look rejuvenated and playing like many of us thought they were capable of earlier in the season. They will now go against a QB and team with a little confidence on their side. But I still feel the Texans are over rated and not ready for prime time.New Texans QB Ryan Mallett , is already the talk of the town, after getting a win vs Cleveland . But caveat emptor as this pivot is untested and could be in for a long day, especially if he cant keep an uptempo to this game.

Indianapolis is a ugly 0-11 ATS at home in games games against below .500 opposition like Jacksonville off a SU home loss,. It must also be noted that the Jags are 7-1 ATS when playing with rest against .500 or greater opposition.

UCLA owns a fast-paced and efficient offense, and USC handles fast-paced and efficient offenses very well. UCLA beat Virginia by eight, Memphis by seven, Colorado by three, and California by two so there is no reason the Trojans cant cover this number or even pull of the upset according to my extensive cross league data. The Trojans are one of the strongest teams in this conference, and controlled a very good Arizona State side for 57 minutes, before blowing a nine-point lead because of a 73-yarder with 2:43 left and a 46-yard Hail Mary. Capable and talented is the word, and Im backing USC in this spot. Key Stat: UCLA's offense ranks 100th in IsoPPP, a measure of the magnitude of a team's successful plays. USC's defense ranks 34th.

Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty has tried to avoid calling Oklahoma State a revenge game for the No. 6 Bears. He can be politically correct if he wants, but thats exactly what it is. The Bears' national championship hopes last season unraveled with that 49-17 loss at Oklahoma State, after going into that game undefeated and No. 3 in the AP poll.The Bears crushed and beat48-14 at Oklahoma two weeks ago,and are more than capable of carrying out a humiliating beat down of an opponent.

In this kind of environment offenses have a history of struggling, while defenses seem to be in top gear.

Arkansas runs the ball at an average of 235 ypg, and will run the ball down the throats of the vaunted Ole Miss defense. Some are saying Arkansas will be in a letdown spot after last weeks 17-0, LSU win that ended a long time SEC losing streak, I instead say this very well coached side, that now has a boatload full of confidence, and must not be underestimated as they go for their 8th cover in 9 games.

You can bet we will see the best from a UAB side who will also play known that their program is on the chopping block on seniors day. So double and triple desperation is at play today.

It must be noted Blue Devils senior quarterback Anthony Boone was 18-3 as a starter entering Saturday’s game. The winningest quarterback in Duke football history has lost just four career games as a starting QB, the exact same number of losses as Heisman favorite QB Marcus Mariota of Oregon . As far as tonights concerned, it must be noted that the Tar Heels claim to fame is their offense, however, their defense is atrocious. Duke can score in bunches, and when their focused the Blue Devils defense must be considered a top tier stopping unit.

Roethlisberger vs. Zach Mettenberger is a mismatch of QBs.in Big Bens favor. A key statistic when considering tonights game winner is based on Third-down conversion rate allowed by the Steelers’ defense, which ranks fifth-best in the NFL. Meanwhile, the Third-down conversion rate for the Titans, is the lowest in the NFL . Tennessee's lack of punch on offense will make it difficult for the Titans to pull off an upset Monday night.

The 4-5 Texans have lost four of their last five -- after a 3-1 start -- to slip into second place in the AFC South behind the Colts.The Texans, led by Defensive Player of the Year candidate J.J. Watt, are coming off a bye, and the Browns are coming off a win vs the Bengals 24-3 on Nov. 6. Chances are, the team that wins the turnover battle will win the game, and these two clubs are the kings of playing takeaway football.The Texans lead the NFL with 21 takeaways and the Browns -- who have 12 in their last four games -- are tied for seventh with 17. Historically, when the Texans win the turnover battle, they win the game 75.3 percent of the time.

The team view point has proved victorious last week and continued throughout their practices, leading up to this Sunday's game. Im betting HC Smith's team can again transmit the focus and practice-week accomplishments to the field on Sunday, for a fourth-straight NFC South win.Carolina is really that bad, and their is a trend that is not good when considering their chances today. The Panthers are 0-10 ATS as favorites in their franchise history before a week of rest.

I expect the hardworking underdogs make them work for everyhting the Bears achieve today. Take the points with the away doggy. Play on the Minnesota Vikings to cover 1 unit reg selection |

Seattle, is back to doing what they do best , as they refocused their previous winning ways in to a strategy that is effective to their team concept. That is the implementation of its power running game. Marshawn Lynch has rushed for six touchdowns over the past two games, getting 21 carries each time, and Im expecting that he will pound away again today. KC is not as good as their record indicates, and are lucky to be where they are right now in the standings. They don't beat themselves, as dont give the ball away very oftern, but I keep getting the nagging feeling their damn is soon going to bust, and that may come as early as today. Its now crunch time for the defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks and I expect we see their best effort today.

Arkansas has lost 17 conference games in a row, dating back to the middle of the 2012 season, and they are beyond desperate for a win. But just because they need a win, does not mean they are going to get one. Both teams LSU and Arkansas are great at rushing the ball, but they have been plagued by subpar play at quarterback all season . The difference comes via defense. Arkansas does not have a disciplined group, while LSU owns an elite defense that is still getting better. With that said, Im backing LSU. Play on LSU to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-15-14 | Florida State v. Miami (Fla) +2 | 30-26 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 1 m | Show | |
Im not interested in what the talking heads think about Florida State, and their continued love affair with the defending national champs. The truth hurts, but the truth is, FSUs defense is average at best, and has been consistently thrashed for big yards this season by their opposition. The explosive offense has been their saving grace. But today against a top tier Miami Fl defense that is getting better with time,Im betting the Seminoles offense will be tested and will not be as productive as need be, to make up for the short coimings of the defense.Miami is allowing just 4.2 yards per play, the seventh lowest mark in the FBS (out of 128 teams). In our strength-of-schedule-adjusted efficiency metrics, the Hurricanes rank in the top 15 against the run and the pass. Despite playing a top-25 schedule, the Hurricanes rank third in all of college football, outgaining their opponents by an average of 2.6 yards per play. is 6-3 straight-up and 5-3 against-the-spread this season against the 25th ranked schedule in the nation, their three losses have come against Nebraska, Lousiville, and Gtech , teams with a total of three losses.Offensively, junior running back Duke Johnson leads the ACC in rushing with 1,213 yards and 7.7 yards per rush. The offense ranks top-10 nationally on the ground. Through the air, this football team has turned into a big play unit. Freshman quarterback Brad Kaaya struggled early, completing under 60% of his passes with seven interceptions in his first four games. In his last four starts, however, Kaaya has eight touchdowns and just two interceptions, averaging 9.9 yards per pass. Only Oregon’s Marcus Mariota has topped that mark for the entire season. So if your worried about Miami keeping up offensively think again. All in all, Miami's superior defense, and ability to put points on the board makes them a solid pick today. No team is invinceable and Florida State after consistently grabbing defeat from the jaws of what should have been losses to top tier sides like Notre Dame and Lousiville, will now have to give back some of their positive karma today.Hurricanes HC Al Golden is 14-2 ATS as a home dog, including 14-0 ATS when taking less than 24 points.

Alabama is according to my own numbers the top team in the nation, and I care little what the pundits think. Mississippi State is completely over rated at No 1, and the true number should be closer to -16 favoring the home team, so its obvious to me where the value is. The line opened as -7 favoring the Tide, and my first reaction was, you have to be kidding. The books were playing to public sympathies and the lack of in-depth knowledge. Wise guy money is all over Alabama here. Nick Saban lives for situations like this while the Bulldogs are not accustomed to this type of limelight, and have already started to look a little sluggish of late. Meanwhile, Alabama has held 5 opponents to season low yards this season,while Miss State has held NO opponent to a season low on yards. Bulldogs coach Mullen has lost 24 of his L/32 SU vs .750 or greater opposition, while Saban is 30-13 SU vs undefeated teams.

Pittsburgh began the season at 3-0 with convincing wins over Delaware, Boston College and FIU, but then for some reason the wheels fell off. The Panthers have since lost five of their last six games, with a impressive five-point win over Virginia Tech sandwiched in between the streak. Pitt dropped a Nov. 1 contest to Duke, 51-48, in double overtime, a game that showed alot of their true capabilities. A recipe for a win for Pittsburgh will center on grinding the ball on the ground, and eating up clock while consistently scoring against North Carolina. Pittsburgh offense averages 31.1 ppg and 247.7 rushing ypg through nine contests played. Conner, the sophomore running back, averages 149.1 rushing ypg, and has touched the ball 220 times out of the backfield, making him the workhorse of the Panthers, and today he will be the key for what Im betting will be a Panther cover.

Clemson has a tough stop unit, but Im betting that wont matter today.( , the Yellow Jackets are No. 2 in the nation with 335.6 yards rushing per game. The Tigers are second in the nation in total defense and fourth against the run, allowing 90.9 yards per game on the ground). The Tigers are expected to have QB Deshaun Watson back after being out for 3 games with an injury, but he will be rusty after the lay off, and Clemson probably wont be as cohesive with him at the helm of the offense .

I know UC has some ugly numbers on defense, but I feel they are getting better late in the season. The three losses they suffered prior to their 3 game win streak came against, Ohio State, Memphis and Miami (Florida), teams with top tier offenses. Yes, I also know that East Carolina has some big offensive numbers, but UC after playing the above mentioned trio will be more than prepared for what's coming their way tonight.

UMass has some public pundits consistently drooling, about what is perceived as a breakout season via their offense which is scoring 19 ppg more than the previous season. What these same talking heads fail to notice is how horrible their 106th ranked defense is . The Minutemen are allowing a whopping 448 yards per game, and live in a world of last possession football. Their undisciplined defense is the reason why they are just 2-7 SU on the season. In comes a Ball State team that is more than capable of exploiting their weaknesses and racking up a boatload full of points and a defense that despite of some CB injury issues is deeper at that position than outsiders might know.

Bottom line: The Bruins after their big win against arizona by a 17-7 count last time out will now Im betting be in a letdown situation. One of the key factors that could help the Huskies upset the inconsistent Bruins, is the fact they are second in the nation in sacks with 37, and they feature the national leader in sacks on their defense in Hau’oli Kikaha. UCLA, on the other hand, is worst in the conference and 115th in the nation in allowing 3.33 sacks per game.The Huskies are second in the conference and eighth in the nation in turnover margin at +11, while UCLA is ninth in the conference with a margin of -1.

The Eagles enter this game having gone 4-0 L4 vs AFC South opposition with revenge and are 9-1 L10 ATS in 2nd of back to back away tilts. They play a out stated Houston team that is very over rated. Ya I know Houston has four wins this season, but the list of their kos is against lightweights like Washington, Teneessee, Oakland and a up and down Buffalo side. Philadelphia according to my own numbers is a top tier team in this league, and will be ready to bounce back in a big way after last weeks heart breaking undeserved loss to Arizona.

11-01-14 | Arizona +6.5 v. UCLA | 7-17 | Loss | -104 | 85 h 43 m | Show | |
Jim Moras UCLA is under achieving in a big way especially on defense where they allow 435 ypg , with the secondary almost constantly asleep at the proverbial wheel allowing a whopping 268 yards per game which ranks them 108th in the nation. Tonight they face a Arizona aerial attack that is deadly, averaging 348 ypg , ranking 8th in the nation. This basic premise puts these two teams at the opposite end of the proverbial performance spectrum. It must also be noted Arizona enters this tilt looking for revenge for a loss last season, which is not a good omen for the Bruins as they are a ugly 0-8 ATS facing a team with revenge on their own turf.

11-01-14 | Notre Dame v. Navy +14 | 49-39 | Win | 100 | 83 h 9 m | Show | |
Navys triple-option offense usually does very well against aggressive, over-pursuing defenses like Notre Dame has. Brian VanGorder led Irish defense is over fueled and one of the most out of the box groups in College football, but this might be their undoing this week in Landover. Coming off their heart breaking loss vs Florida State will also have the Irish in a letdown spot in a tough environment. Play on Navy to cover 1 unit reg selection |

Ole Miss had their hearts ripped out last week in theirgruelng 10-7 loss to LSU . Now they face a tough Auburn side, with little pity. Im betting on Auburn making this matchup another hard hitting grinding affair, something a hungover Rebs team might find to exhausting. Auburn has one of the best rushing attacks in the nation, ranking 11th nationally with 5.96 yards per attempt and will pound away on the Ole Miss defense for what Im betting will be a cover.

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have won three games in a row and will seek a fourth as they play host to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in a Conference USA clash at Joe Aillet Stadium Saturday and Im betting they get it vs a Western Kentucky football team, allowing 41.1 ppg to opponents, including 549.4 ypg. Yes the Hilltoppers offense is explosive, but their defense is non existent. Thats not a good omen this week vs a Bulldogs team, that has a decent defense, and explosive passing game, thanks to a mostly stable ground attack. The Bulldogs' defense has allowed opponents to score 20 points in back-to-back games, but also held UTEP to just three points to start the month of October. The team is allowing opponents to score 25.9 ppg and gain 350.8 ypg this season. The Bulldogs have also forced 12 opponent interceptions and eight fumbles for 20 turnovers gained (tied seventh most in the nation). Play on LA Tech to cover 1 unit reg selection |

In last year’s game with Pittsburgh, Duke’s defense had a rough day in a 58-55 Panthers win at Wallace Wade Stadium. This season Duke is No. 5 in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 15.1 points per game. Veteran players who experienced the embarrassing game against Pittsburgh last year seek to send a different message this Saturday.After going 10-4 last season and starting this season 6-1, Duke has won 16 of its last 21 games (16-5) and is a good bet to get us the SU win in this spot and an even better bet to cover the number.

Having the Saints as favorites in this spot is right on the money and the price short and appetizing , like my moms apples pies used to be when I was much younger. My own numbers suggest on a neutral field the Saints would be 7 point favorites. So throw in home field advantage for the Panthers and this is still not a big price on the line to pay. The Saints offense is superior to the Panthers, and their defense is much more dependable. I know this is pretty simple handicapping, but the keep it simple phrase- makes sense in this spot.

The University of Louisville football team finally fielding its expected starters for the first time this season .U of L having its full lineup against No. 2 Florida State for Thursday night's much-anticipated 7:30 p.m. kickoff on national television is a necessity if the Cardinals want to beat the reigning national champion. Meanwhile, The Seminoles, 1-5 ATS are already dealing with several controversies surrounding Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jameis Winston, may not have starting running back Karlos Williams for Thursday's game because of an array of issues. The Seminoles have won 23 consecutive games. Three of their seven wins this season have been decided by six or fewer points and it seems like the damn is very close to busting, and this streak coming to an end. Tonight I expect Petrino and company to pull out all the stops on their way to a cover. It must be noted that the Cardinal are 15-1 ATS when going against a .600 or better ACC opponent, including 13-0 ATS in reg season battles. Play on the Louisville Cardinal 1 unit reg selection |

The rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins is well documented. On Monday night these two will meet one another in primetime. The Redskins have been competitive in its games this season before a few bad pass for interceptions by quarterback Kirk Cousins changed results almost instaneously in tilts they should have won. Washington has now decided to bench Cousins and give Colt McCoy his chance. Last week when trailing the Tennessee Titans 10-6 at halftime last Sunday McCoy- when put in the spot light responded by completing 11-of-12 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown in a 19-17 victory to end the team’s four-game losing streak. I personally always like McCoy, when he was with Texas, and found his demeanor a good fit for the NFL. These teams almost always seem to surprise the pundits when they play against each other , and the games are competitive no matter how well or good each team is doing.

The Saints are 22-1 SU and 20-3 ATS in their last 23 home games under Sean Payton. But hey, hold on, The Pack is back? maybe not as a deeper look finds them being outgained -35 YPG this season and dependent on turnovers. Meanwhile, Brees and the Saints have still looked excellent at times, and they lead the NFL in yards per play , so we should not discount them as contenders. Does home field advantage still mean as much as it used to for the Saints? I say yes, as it truly is one of the loudest venues in the league. And that helps both the offense and the defense quite a bit because of communication. New Orleans to cover 1 unit reg selection |

Last Monday night’s contest for the Pittsburgh Steelers shows you just how quickly things can change within an NFL game.The Steelers were losing 13-0, at home, late in the first half to the Houston Texans and the crowd was turning on them in Heinz Field.So when the public looks at this game, they assume more of the same is on tap. Indy hot , so why stop. Im not totally against backing hot teams, but you have to first look at an array of info before making a decison on this backed soley by a good run.At 4-3, the Steelers are in the mix of a mixed up AFC North with all four teams having at least three wins and Baltimore leading the division at 5-2., The Colts will see a Steelers team that looks a bit different from recent meetings in this series.Head coach Mike Tomlin has two of the game’s elite skill players in running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown and both can make life a living hell for opposing defenses, no matter how good that they might be. The Steelers are no pushovers and find themselves ranked in the top 10 of the league in both rushing (128.6 yards per game) and receiving (258.1 yards per game.Pittsburgh’s defense ranks among the middle of the pack in many categories and must not be disrespected despite of the amount older guys in the lineup. Indy is a good team, but Im betting they fail in this outing. It must be noted Ben Roethlisberger’ is 4-0 SUATS career mark as a home dog in games off a SUATS win.

Meanwhile,Cincinnati started the season with three consecutive victories before they came crashing down to earth, as it stared when New England stepped all over them.

In his best season to date, quarterback Joe Flacco is completing 63.7 percent with a 97.2 passer rating .

Carolina is trying to snap a two-game SEC losing streak and post its second win over a top-10 team this season. The pundits have jumped off the Spurrier bandwagon, and are discounting the Cocks completely. I know Auburn is 12-0 at home under Gus Malzahn and alot of the wins by big margins. But forget about a win, Im betting the Gamecocks just find a way from not getting embarrassed and keep it close enough for a cover up front or through the back door. I have played out the key scenarios, and feel that because of a capable run game, Carolina rolls the clock and keeps it fairly close. (It must be noted Spurrier and Malzahn know each other off the field, and are friendly, having played in golf tournaments together. Spurrier knows whats coming from Auburn, and is a superior tactician , even using some of Auburns offensive schemes via a run heavy attack. QuoteWe just have a lot in common," Spurrier said.
