6* Thursday Night NFL *HEAVY HITTER* on Dolphins +3.5 The Dolphins may be without Ronnie Brown, but the Panthers are likely to be without Jonathan Stewart so I feel those injuries pretty much cancel each other out. The most significant injury tonight is the one to stud tackle Jordan Gross. The Panthers will really miss him in the running game. With his absence, Miami has the better line on both sides of the football. The teams that wins the battle of the trenches, usually wins the game and I can't see the Dolphins losing that battle here. The rank 7th in the NFL against the run, allowing only 98 yards per game on 3.7 yards per carry, and they average 156 yards on 4.6 yards per carry on offense. While the Panthers have run the football pretty well this season, they have not defended the run well, allowing 4.6 yards per carry. Lastly, plays against favorites after covering the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games with a losing record, are 24-3 ATS the last 5 years. We'll take the points tonight.

Baltimore is clearly not the same team it was a season ago, especially on the road where it has dropped 3 in a row. In fact, the Ravens are on a 6-16 ATS slide after having lost 4 out of their last 5 games and on a 2-9 ATS skid in their last 11 games as a road favorite. The Ravens are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in Cleveland and the home teams is on a strong 8-3 ATS run. Lastly, plays on Underdogs of 10.5 or more points, a teams getting outgained by 100 or more yards/game, after being outgained by 100 or more total yds 2 consecutive games, are 26-8 ATS since 1983.

Jacksonville will have no answer for New York ground attack today and I don't expect a Jags offense that is only averaging 14 ppg on the road to get much of anything here, especially since Rex Ryan has had an extra week to game plan.

7* NFL *HEAVY HITTER* on Bears +3 The 49ers are experiencing problems on both sides of the football right now and have lost 4 in a row as a result. They have been especially torched through the air in recent weeks, giving up big plays and big yardage to Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, and Peyton Manning. After getting absolutely blown off their home field Sunday, I expect the Bears to bounce back strong here behind a big game from Jay Cutler. Defensively, we can expect much better from the Bears as well as San Francisco does not have a high-powered offensive attack like Cincy or Arizona that has hurt them in recent weeks. The 49ers are just 10-21-2 ATS in their last 33 games as a favorite. Chicago is 6-0 ATS after having lost 3 out of their last 4 games over the last 3 seasons, bouncing back to win in these spots by an average score of 25.0 to 16.3. Take the points.

7* Monday Night Football *HEAVY HITTER* on Steelers -2.5 Denver's defense is the main reason why it is off to such a hot start. Baltimore showed us last week that the Broncos are very human if you take care of the football and if your defense can play Denver's to a standstill. Pittsburgh possesses one of the best defenses in football and it will be fresh and overly prepared tonight coming off a bye week. Can't see Denver getting much of anything going offensively here as it faces its stiffest defensive challenge of the season. While Denver's defense is not going to roll over at any point, I just can't see the unit keeping Big Ben Roethlisberger from doing what he has done to everyone this season. Big Ben is completing over 70% of his passes this season and that does not bode well for Denver considering that it is on a 1-11 ATS slide against teams completing 64% or more of their passes over the last 3 seasons, losing in these spots by 17.6 points on average. It also can't be overlooked that Pittsburgh is on a 29-11 ATS run against top-level teams (Win Pct. > 75%). The defending Super Bowl champs have proven that they can win the big games and this is a big one. Big edge to Pittsburgh!

Carolina has a running game capable of controlling the ball all afternoon, keeping the New Orleans offense off the field. And Carolina is 7-1 SU & 7-0-1 ATS in its L8 trips to Bourbon Street.

Expect Carolina to take much better care of the football today, as teams normally due following a week in which they coughed it up a lot, and expect them to cover this number easily as a result. Plus, this is a revenge spot for the Panthers after getting knocked out of the playoffs by Arizona last season and I can't see Arizona getting up for this one the same way they did for the Giants last week.

Denver is a dismal 1-10 ATS vs. excellent passing teams with a completion % of 64 or better over the last 3 seasons and is 9-2 ATS as a favorite over the last 2 seasons.

6* NFL Revenge Game of the Week (ESPN) on Redskins +9 I love the Redskins in the home underdog role tonight when you consider that the Skins went 2-0 SU and ATS as a dog against Philly last season and are 3-1 SU and ATS the past 2 seasons. Plus, the underdog is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in this rivalry and the Eagles are only 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings overall in this series and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Washington. Washington's defense has been dominant, allowing only 16 ppg and 287 ypg. Those numbers are down to 11.3 ppg and 247 ypg when the Skins are at home. It has been Washington's offense that has been holding it back, but I expect that offense to surprise tonight with Sherman Lewis calling the plays. With a new coordinator on board, likely to pull out all the stops to make sure that he doesn't get quickly caught up in Jim Zorn's negative publicity, the Eagles won't have a very good idea of what to expect tonight. Take the generous amount of points here.

The Giants won in Arizona by 8 points last season and I expect them to increase their margin of victory at home this week against an Arizona team that has struggled to defend the pass and is too one-dimensional offensively. Here's the key: the Giants are 6-0 ATS in home games in weeks 5 through 9 over the last 3 seasons, winning in these games by an average score of 36.7 to 13.8.

Favre has really only played exceptionally well in 1 game, against his former team. He's going to have to play near-perfect today and I don't see it happening against a fast and explosive defense.

5* MNF Side Winner on Jets -1 I strongly believe the Jets are the better team here and I will take them laying a small number. Miami won the division last season and because of it the Dolphins entered the season overvalued. If Brett Favre's arm wasn't hurt or if Tom Brady never went down, it's doubtful that the Dolphins would have won the divisions. QB Chad Pennington was a huge part of Miami's success last season and the Dolphins won't be the same team without him. Now, all they have is the running game and the wildcat and last year, Rex Ryan's Baltimore defense was able to hold the wildcat in check. New York shouldn't have much of a problem shutting down a one-dimensional Miami attack. The Jets are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Miami and 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 meetings overall. The Dolphins are also 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog of 3 points or less. Take the Jets.

Remember that Oakland had San Diego down 15-3 heading into the 4th quarter in last year's home contest before the Chargers outscored the Raiders 25-3 in the 4th. Can't say that was a fluke either as Oakland outgained the Bolts and possessed the ball more. The Raiders have been preparing all off season for this game and I expect them to give the Chargers more than they want in their season opener. The Chargers are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite of 3.5-10.0 (-10 at most books), 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite, and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Take the points.

7* Super Bowl XLIII ***HEAVY HITTER*** on Cardinals +7 Including Arizona's wild card win when it opened as an underdog, the Cards are a perfect 3-0 as an underdog in these playoffs. While some will say they defied the odds, I'll argue that the odds were not very good. Many got a soured opinion of this team when it was getting crushed late in the season but those were meaningless games as the Cards were the first to clinch a playoff spot. Warner proved against an Eagles defense, which is very similar to Pitt's, that he can get rid of the ball quickly and accurately against the blitz. No team in the NFL has a receiving trio like Fitzgerald, Boldin, and Breaston and that is going to put a lot of heat on the Steelers secondary. Arizona's defense has really stepped it up and it will face an offense that will not scare it one bit. The Steelers have struggled offensively all season and that is the main reason why they don't deserve to be laying 7 points. The Cards also have the coaching edge with Whisenhunt knowing the Steelers personnel and tactics as well as anyone outside the Steelers. This was made evident when Arizona beat the Steelers in the regular season last year. Lastly, and most important, Arizona has brought its best against the best. Zona is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 75%). The average score was ARIZONA 20.4, OPPONENT 22.6 in these games. Take the points!

7* Conference Championship Game of the Year on Steelers -6 Odds makers have either missed this line or they have accurately baited the public into a terrible trap. I'm thinking the latter. The Ravens played the Steelers as tough as anyone this season, losing by 3 in OT at Pittsburgh and by 4 at home. Odds makers gave the Ravens 6 points knowing that the public would jump on it and now they have the public right where they want it. Because of the bye week, Pittsburgh comes into this one as the healthier team and also as the better offensive team. The Ravens offense has been awful against the Steelers' No. 1 ranked defense this season and it was not able to do much of anything against a solid Titans defense last week. Pittsburgh's confidence grew immensely as it was able to run the football very effectively against the Chargers. The Steelers won't likely be able to run as effectively against Baltimore but I have to side with Ben Roethlisberger over rookie Joe Flacco any day of the week. Flacco was atrocious in December against the Steelers with a QB rating in the low 20's. Big Ben and the Steelers have been here before and that also bodes well for them. The Steelers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite, 6-0 ATS in their last 6 playoff games, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in January, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. the AFC North. We'll ride this 19-0 ATS Angle to a big winner Sunday!

7* NFL Playoffs GOTY on Chargers +6 San Diego is clearly playing better than it was when it played the Steelers to an 11-10 game in Pittsburgh in November. The Chargers are rolling and playing with nothing to lose. The key here is that the Pittsburgh offense has not performed well because of a poor offensive line. Defense does win championships but you can't win if you don't score. Philip Rivers has been one of the best QB's in football this season and I like him to outshine a banged up Ben Roethlisberger in this game. The Chargers are 21-7-3 ATS in their last 31 games as an underdog and 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0. SD is 8-0 ATS after gaining 400 or more total yards/game over their last 3 games since 1992, 6-0 ATS after 4 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons, and 6-0 ATS after having won 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games over the last 2 seasons.

The Eagles have won 10 of the last 16 at home in this series and they are 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS versus the Cowboys in all games the last 3 seasons. The fact that Philly did not show up in Washington last week makes this play even stronger as the Eagles are 8-1 ATS off a loss against a division rival over the last 3 seasons, winning in these spots by an average score of 27.2 to 15.6. Dallas is only 3-12 ATS in road games vs. good passing defenses - allowing 5.7 or less passing yards/attempt since 1992 and 3-12 ATS in road games vs. good passing teams averaging 235 or more passing yards/game in the second half of the season since 1992.

5* NFL Saturday Night HEAVY HITTER on Cowboys -4 Dallas is confident and at home where it is 6-1 this season. Baltimore's offense struggled against a great Steelers defense last week and it will struggle on the road again against a Cowboys defense which is finding its groove. Dallas is only allowing 19 ppg at home this season while scoring 28.3. Dallas has held each of its last three opponents to 9,20, and 8 points respectively. The 20 it gave up to Pittsburgh is misleading because it was not the Pittsburgh offense which earned those points. With Dallas' defense playing better than it has all season, we'll roll with the Boys as they clearly have the edge offensively. Plays on home teams (DALLAS) - off 2 or more consecutive unders, in a game involving two good offensive teams (23-27 PPG) are 32-8 ATS since 1983. Lay the points.

The Underdog is also a strong 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings and the Road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take the Saints.

7* Thursday Night NFL GOTY on Eagles -2.5 McNabb being benched was the wake up call he needed. With the Eagles back at home where the defense is only allowing 16.4 ppg, I like them to take it to the Cards. The Eagles are winning by an average of 9.2 ppg at home this season and I like the offense to be able to move the football against an Arizona team allowing 25.5 ppg on the road. Philly is a strong 16-5 ATS after a loss by 21 or more points since 1992 and 18-6 ATS vs. excellent passing teams averaging 260 or more passing yards/game. since 1992. Lay the points.

Denver's defense is giving up 29.5 ppg on the road this season and that will not bode well for them here against a Falcons team that can control the football with its strong running attack. Denver is 0-7 ATS after gaining 400 or more total yards in their previous game over the last 2 seasons, 0-7 ATS after scoring 30 points or more last game over the last 2 seasons, 0-6 ATS after a win by 6 or less points over the last 2 seasons, 0-12 ATS after gaining 6 or more yards/play in their previous game over the last 2 seasons, and 0-6 ATS after outgaining an opponent by 100 or more total yards in their previous game over the last 3 seasons.

7* MNF HEAVY HITTER on Pittsburgh Steelers +1.5 After going down to New York last week, you have to like the Steelers to bounce back with a win here as few teams have been better against top notch competition. In fact Pittsburgh is 27-10 ATS when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 75%) since 1992 and 32-13 ATS vs. good passing teams averaging 7 or more passing yards/att. since 1992. Washington has not exactly been playing great football either. The Skins lost to St. Louis 3 weeks ago and then has only manages to scrape by the past two weeks against Cleveland and Detroit. We'll take the Steelers.
