Rating: 3 Unit SNF Smoker Rodgers has a tremendously balanced offense with Eddie Lacy and Randall Cobb. Picking up veteran James Jones, a wide receiver Rodgers is comfortable with, was a huge plus. Seattle’s defense isn’t as dominant on the road and currently is minus holdout star safety Kam Chancellor. Seattle is far from intimidating away from CenturyLink Field. The Seahawks are 2-9 SU and ATS during their last 11 September road games. Marshawn Lynch hasn’t been as effective on the road and he’s running behind a mediocre-at-best offensive line that when the shuffling finally stopped starts two players who went undrafted and one who was taken in the seventh round of the draft. This has Green Bay’s written all over it.

Rating: 3 Unit NFC Game of the Day The Cowboys have a veteran, productive, high-percentage in passer in Tony Romo as an underdog against the Sam Bradford-led Eagles, who are all about “potential.” Bradford, a 58.2% career completion percentage person, has played all of one real game for Philly. It wasn’t pretty, and although there is potential to improve, potential at -5 is a tightrope walk. The Eagles could not run DeMarco Murray much on Monday Night because of the scoreboard situation. The situation was that they were trailing by 17 points at halftime. A lot of people assume that when they start 0-0 here, Murray will make the Cowboys suffer for letting him go to Philadelphia in free agency. But he’s no lock to run as well as he did behind the Eagles line as he did behind the Dallas line. Different blocking schemes. And the Cowboys know how to make him fumble.

Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week After a strong performance versus Towson on Week 1, ECU’s top ball-carrier, Chris Hairston, had only 15 yards on 17 carries versus Florida. This is the biggest Navy team ever. The five projected starting OL average 288 pounds. The three fullbacks range from 245 to 255. The top WR, Jamir Tillman, stands 6’4”. The QB, Keenan Reynolds, belongs in the Heisman conversation. Reynolds is on course to set the NCAA career mark for rushing touchdowns. ECU gave a spirited effort in Gainesville in a futile quest to avenge last year’s bowl loss. Navy opened with Colgate and was idle last week. The Midshipmen are an easy call.

Rating: 3 Unit NFL Play of the Day Last year, when the Seahawks played on this field, the Rams (+6½) pulled the 28-26 upset, thanks, in part, to a successful faked punt late in the game. So you know that Seattle who is 47-20-1 ATS lately will be more than prepared. Still one of the best teams in the NFL, especially with that impregnable defense. The addition of TE Graham from New Orleans gives QB Wilson another key option. Rams swapped Bradford for Foles, but their offensive line is still a problem, with the use of rookies needed, so that will take some time. St Louis lost its last home game by 16½ points ATS, and now face determined Seahawks team.

This year's rendition of College Football's top game features two undefeated teams from BCS conferences.
Auburn comes into this one sporting an impressive offensive attack led by Heisman quarterback Cam Newton. The Tigers averaged an unbelievable 10.5 yards per pass attempt and 7.5 yards per play while racking up 42.7 points per game raking sixth in the nation. Auburn won some close games this season as six of their 13 wins were decided by a score or less.
Oregon comes into this contest with an even more impressive offense as they lead the nation with 49.3 points per game and 539 yards per game. They are led by RB LaMichael James and QB Darron Thomas.
With both offenses able to move the ball at will this game will come down to defense. The Ducks allow six fewer points per game, 30 fewer yards per game and have a yards per play edge of almost a full yard.
Supporting Angles: AUBURN is 6-17 ATS (-12.7 Units) vs. poor ball control teams, 28 or less possession minutes/game since 1992. OREGON is 37-16 ATS (+19.4 Units) when the line is +3 to -3 since 1992.

Rating: 3 Unit Big-10 Game of the Week
In a Big-10 contest that Michigan Wolverines travel to the "horseshoe" to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Unfortunately for the Wolves they will be facing QB Pryor knowing that their defense ranks 92nd versus the rush, 111th versus the pass, 112th in total Defense, and 99th in scoring defense.
Michigan has a star themselves in Robinson but he'll be facing a much better Buckeyes defense that ranks 3rd, 5th, 3rd, and 5th in those same categories.
Supporting Angles: MICHIGAN is 0-8 ATS (-8.8 Units) versus good rushing defenses - allowing <=120 rushing yards/game over the last 2 seasons. OHIO ST is 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) in home games vs. poor passing defenses - allowing 8 or more passing yards/att. since 1992. MICHIGAN is 0-9 ATS (-9.9 Units) in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons.
Sure it's a lot of points to give but this one is a total mismath as the Buckeyes roll in this one.

The surprising Kansas City Chiefs rolls into Denver after they crushed them in this same stadium last year 44-24. This season, the Chiefs are moving the ball even better and will be going against a Denver defense that has been injury-plagued. They have been horrible lately as they have been run over by the Raiders and 49ers in their past two games.
The Broncos come into this one off a bye week but that is mitigated by the fact that they are a horrible 2-13 at home versus AFC West opponents over the past three seasons.
Supporting Angle: Road teams (KANSAS CITY) coming off a road loss are 40-11 ATS in November road games over the past five seasons.

Rating: 3 Unit NFL Game of the Week
The Chargers have struggled this year on the road going a horrible 0-4 SU and ATS this season. Despite their 3-5 overall mark the Chargers were ranked No.1 on offense and defense in the NFL through Week.
Houston comes into this one off a huge Monday night division matchup against Indianapolis on the road. The Houston defense by contrast is ranked at the bottom allowing 410.5 yards per game.
