NY Giants at Baltimore
Play on Baltimore minus the points
First time RB Lewis, OT Ogden, TE Heap, and WR Taylor, the Ravens four top offensive players have played together all season. They have played the majority games with at least two of those components out of the lineup. Nonetheless, QB Boller continues to develop, and offense should finally come out of its shell against Giant stop unit, who allowed 31 points and 380 yards to pedestrian Redskins last week. The Ravens are 9-1$ their last 10 road games off a loss. The 1 loss of course was last week, and we look for a huge effort as they attempt to stay alive in the AFC playoff picture. Ray Ray and the boys will come out flying after blowing last week's huge lead to the Bengals. The Birds are now 20-6$ vs. <.500 teams, and the Giants are showing absolutely no signs of life nowadays. All of Baltimore's home wins have come by more than today's number. Lay the points.
Miami at Denver
Play on Denver minus the points
Laying big lumber again with another veteran team needing a win. Miami doesn't like to travel out of warm and cozy So.Florida at this time of year (5-21$ in December and January road games), and Denver like Baltimore above is fighting for their playoff lives. Turnovers and a blizzard is why Denver is in this sudden predicament. The fact that they are better in every phase of the game than Miami and Shanahan in 8-2$ off BB SU losses will ensure a big effort today. Dolphins' weakness against the run becoming worse by the week, as they are decimated at DT and LB. Look for Bronco RB's Droughns and new weapon Bell to exploit that big time. The Dolphins' are also a dismal -21 this year in turnovers, and we all know that's the name of the game in the NFL. Give the Dolphins' credit for not quitting and playing every game hard all year, but they are catching the Broncos at a bad time today.
Indy at Houston- Leaning towards Texans, but why step in front of Colts juggernaut? especially that their D is playing a little better, they are healthier in secondary, and they are #1 in the NFL with a +17 turnover margin. Indy has scored 40 or more in 4 straight games, and Houston has allowed >350 yards in their last 5. Can't see them stopping Manning and company today, but I would only take the points if I had to. Over definitely worth a look as Houston has some firepower themselves.
Cleveland at Buffalo- Have to lean towards Bills based on systems, and the fact that Cleveland is an absolute mess right now.
Cincy at New England- Patriots have covered 16 out of the last 17 on this field, now why would I fade that against a team coming off of their first road win against a winning team in 43 tries? I won't. Check the weather, should be some points here as well.
Detroit at Green Bay- The Pack 10-1-1$ at home against the Lions, and gametime temperature looks to be right up Favre's alley. Huge move down on the total, but doesnn't look like snow in the forecast. Lean to the Pack, no feeling on total.
Seattle at Minny- Conflicting systems here, and really no feeling as Seattle's downward spiral and beat up D doesn't interest me, but neither does Vikings 4.9ypr rush defense laying a touchdown to RB Alexander and company. Pass.
Chicago at Jax- Lean to the gutty favorite in a must-win situation today.
New Orleans at Dallas- Cowboys a totally different team with RB Jones in the lineup. 200 yards may be very attainable for him today. Can't lay points with a team with Dallas's defensive numbers, though. Pass.
St.Louis at Carolina- Carolina all of a sudden "a good team"? Look who they have beaten in this recent winning streak. I'll lean to the Rams, but injuries, road woes, and Mike Martz won't let me fire. Playoff revenge for St.Louie also.
T.Bay at San Diego- Systems tell me to fade Tampa, but Gruden is nasty as an underdog. San Diego is not as good as their record, period. Bucs in a division sandwich, Bolts just covered two games in roles that they haven't found themselves in in a long time. PASS.
Philly at Washington- Systems pointing to Washington, and we're leaning that way. They do have a 62 yard better defense here, but fading the Eagles right now takes a lot of intestingal fortitude. Under may be the play here
