4-UNIT NFL Best Bet (4:40 et kickoff)
Packers at Cardinals
Selection: Cardinals +2'
ATTENTION: For those of you who want to make additional wagers I would lean towards the New England Patriots (analysis will be available in the Free section). I would also lean towards New England's Benjamin Watson OVER 32' receiving yards. This evening in college basketball I would lean towards North Carolina to bounce back from a shocking loss earlier in the week
ANALYSIS: Due to a myriad of INJURY issues today's report was delayed (alongh with my typing of analysis). More information on today's early NFL kickoff by 12:40 eastern. Feel free to place those bets on all of the below which have gone through my intense research
***Sunday ANALYSIS below***
4-UNITS on Cardinals +2' (NFL Best Bet)
3-UNITS on Oregon State +8' (College Basketball LATE NIGHT Best Bet broadcast on Fox-Net)
2-UNITS on Ravens/Patriots UNDER 43' (NFL Total)
CARDINALS (4:40 et kickoff): Major line swing with word that Arizona star wideout Anquan Boldin (ankle/knee) most likely will not start. But according to Kurt Warner Arizona prepared for this game WITHOUT including Boldin in the plans. 4 of the 5 injured Cardinals WILL play today. I have found out that Green Bay's secondary has INJURY issues which opens the door for Kurt Warner to have a big day. Last Sunday the Cardinals found out before gametime that a shot at a first-round bye was remote and chose to go conservative against the Packers. Thus I would not read too much into last week's result. Green Bay is on a 7-1 tear but early in the campaign had major problems protecting their quarterback. Arizona has 45 SACKS and can put major pressure on Aaron Rodgers. Here is a whopping 22-3 SYSTEM (88% last decade involving a pair of quality team that have won 60-to-75% of their games) which plays ON teams like Arizona revenging a loss where they scored less than two touchdowns, with a near pick-em line of +3/-3 which is the case today
OREGON STATE (10:35 et late night tipoff): This is a revenge spot for Oregon State who lost the "civil war" on the football field against rival Oregon. I can tell you that Oregon State is UNDEFEATED where it counts this season (6-0 ATS) when facing an opponent with a winning record and that is the case in this late night FOX-NET televised road encounter from Oregon. Take UNDERDOG Oregon State
RAVENS/PATRIOTS UNDER (1:05 et kickoff): This is the final "cold weather" game for awhile in the playoffs as all high seeds either play in a dome or at a warm weather site. Prior to last week New England's defense had allowed 10-or-less points in THREE consecutive contests. In the past four games Baltimore has averaged 36 RUSH attempts per game and will be looking to keep the football on the ground since their QUARTERBACK is hurting. Ravens QB Joe Flacco (hip/thigh) left Friday practice early and will be affected by the cold conditions. New England has lost star receiver Wes Welker to injury. Pats 17-6 UNDER in the playoffs since 1992

Game: Green Bay Packers @ Arizona Cardinals - Sunday January 10, 2010 4:40 pm
Pick: 5 units TOTAL: Over 47 (-110)
Take the Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals Game Over 47 Sunday, This pick falls into one of my top NFL systems and both of these teams are capable of putting up big numbers in a hurry. The Packers are averaging 39 points per game over their last 3 games while the Cardinals are averaging 23.4 ppg overall this season. The Cardinals handed the Packers the game last week but things will be a lot different this week since this is a meaningful game. The Cardinals have averaged 30+ points in each of their last 3 games that they won and the O/U is 18-5 for the Cardinals in their last 23 games when they score less then 15 points in their previous game. The O/U is 7-2 for the Cardinals in their last 9 games after they allow more than 30 points in their previous game and the O/U is 24-8 for the Packers in their last 32 games after covering the number in their previous game. I look for both teams to light up the scoreboard Sunday so take the Over

Indian Cowboy Card, Anyone have his 6* NFL Playoff GOY?
I have IC's full card for today, I do NOT have his 6* NFL Playoff GOY, anyone have that? Here is his card otherwise:
7 of 8 Winning College Ball Weeks
3 Straight Winning NBA Weeks
Back to Back Winning Football Weeks
Daily Comp Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKew_uuguVM
Saturday: 2-0:
4* NBA: Bulls -8.5 over Timberwolves (W)
4* CBB: Alabama +2 over LSU: Outright (W)
Comp: St. Louis +4 over Richmond: Outright (W)
5 Unit Play. #825. Northwestern +8 over Michigan (Sunday @ 2:30pm est).
This is a game that Northwestern can legitimately win outright. This Northwestern team has only lost three ballgames all year and they come to the likes of Michigan State, Illinois in overtime on the road and to Butler at home. This team has beaten the likes of Notre Dame by double-digits on neutral footing, Iowa State, NC State, Stanford, and in a low scoring conference games such as this one, I believe the eight points will become very significant. After all, getting eight points on a total of 128.5 is very appealing and this team returns a great deal of talent and this team is likely going to be the first team in its school history to reach the Dance this year. This team is 0-2 in conference play and desperately needs this game here and even if they do not win it, I still like their chances to stay inside the number and cover the spread. The Wildcats of Northwestern are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games, 4-0 in their last four road games as Underdogs and the Wolverines of Michigan are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a favorite.
4 Unit Play. Take the Washington Wizards +1 over the New Orleans Hornets (Sunday @ 1pm est). The Wizards came together in their last game without Arenas and they will do the same today. Remember, teams always come together during adversity. This can be said about the Vols in their last game, or when Chris Paul when he went out with the Hornets and so on. I foresee the Wizards coming together with their team and Randy Foye playing more of a role in this team's offense. Heck, the Wizards could let go of Gilbert when all is said and done as they will notice this team will play drastically without him with Caron Butler as this team's leader along with Jamison. Besides, with nearly 70% riding New Orleans I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the public gets buried here a bid and the home team gets the win with the dog tag. The Hornets have not done well against teams with a winning percentage of less than .400 as they are 0-6 ATS against them. Note that the Underdog is 5-2 ATS over their last seven games as well.
4 Unit Play. #806. Take the LA Clippers -1 over the Miami Heat (Sunday @ 3:30pm est). The Clips have been a team I have been high on all year. Heck, my 6 Unit future on this team for the over of 34.5 wins and they continue to roll as they are around .500 thus far. This team just beat the Lakers, Boston and Portland (a team that also recently beat the Lakers). The Clippers are a different beast at home as they are 5-0 ATS of late and they are picking up steam at the right time right now with the likes of Gordon, Davis, Kaman, Camby and Butler as this team is healthy and consequently, they are playing much better. Note that the Clippers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite and the Heat are 3-7 ATS when they face a team with a straight up losing record. I also like the Heat to have a let down as they come off a big road win over the Suns in their most recent game.
Good luck,
IC

NFL Side Sun, 01/10/10 - 4:40 PM ¼�
dime bet 108 ARI 3.0 (-130) Bodog vs 107 GBP
Analysis:
NOTE: If your book has Ari‚zona +2.5, then buy the half-point up to +3. And if by some chance Arizona is +3, buy the half-point up to +3.5.
This reminds me so much of last night's Eagles-Cowboys game. Seemed like the world was on the Eagles because they couldn't possibly lose two weeks in a row to Dallas. We had the right side in that game & I feel we have the right side in this one as well. The public saw both rematches yesterday end the same way as the Week 17 games. So public perception is that the Packers will complete the trifecta and once again beat the Cardinals. I disagree, and here's why.
That game last week meant absolutely nothing to Arizona. They saw Minnesota win & lock up the #2 seed, so coach Whisenhunt only kept his starting defense in for one series, and Kurt Warner threw just six passes before exiting. On the flip side, Packers coach Mike McCarthy chose to keep his starters in for a majority of the game. So having a lopsided result is not at all surprising. And that lopsided result gives us great value today. The Cardinals opened as a 2.5-point favorite, but the Packers are now the 2.5-point favorite.
With Anquan Boldin not likely to play, even more people will line up to back the Pack. But Arizona has so many weapons to go with Larry Fitzgerald, such as Steve Breaston and Early Doucet in the passing game, and Beanie Wells has been a beast running the football. Kurt Warner is so good at getting rid of the football before the pressure gets to him, and he's very good at seeing where the blitz is coming from and hitting his hot read. Not taking anything away from Aaron Rodgers, who had a great season. But this is playoff football and he's making his first start. He did not really see the Arizona pass rush last week because they only played one series, but he'll get to know them really well today. And that Packers o-line has been known to give up sacks in bunches.
The Cardinals have the playoff experience, and they love being the underdog. They've covered NINE straight as a dog. Arizona may not have been great at home this season, but they did hammer the Vikings just a few weeks ago. And while the Packers have been on quite a roll, it should be noted that they do NOT own a quality road win this season. Throw out last week's win over the Cardinals' B-team, and the Packers' road wins this season came against the Rams, Browns, Lions, and Bears.
And if this game comes down to a FG, I'll take Neil Rackers over Mason Crosby, who has been very shaky this season.
Bottom line: While the public is enamored with Green Bay, the value lies with the home team with the playoff experience who likes to be the dog. The Pack won't get the luxury of playing against backups this week, and their lack of true road success and playoff experience will show in the end. Take
Arizona.

And that Packers o-line has been known to give up sacks in bunches.
The Cardinals have the playoff experience, and they love being the underdog. They've covered NINE straight as a dog. Arizona may not have been great at home this season, but they did hammer the Vikings just a few weeks ago. And while the Packers have been on quite a roll, it should be noted that they do NOT own a quality road win this season. Throw out last week's win over the Cardinals' B-team, and the Packers' road wins this season came against the Rams, Browns, Lions, and Bears.
And if this game comes down to a FG, I'll take Neil Rackers over Mason Crosby, who has been very shaky this season.
Bottom line: While the public is enamored with Green Bay, the value lies with the home team with the playoff experience who likes to be the dog. The Pack won't get the luxury of playing against backups this week, and their lack of true road success and playoff experience will show in the end. Take
Arizona.

dime bet 108 ARI 3.0 (-130) Bodog vs 107 GBP
Analysis:
NOTE: If your book has Ari‚zona +2.5, then buy the half-point up to +3. And if by some chance Arizona is +3, buy the half-point up to +3.5.
This reminds me so much of last night's Eagles-Cowboys game. Seemed like the world was on the Eagles because they couldn't possibly lose two weeks in a row to Dallas. We had the right side in that game & I feel we have the right side in this one as well. The public saw both rematches yesterday end the same way as the Week 17 games. So public perception is that the Packers will complete the trifecta and once again beat the Cardinals. I disagree, and here's why.
That game last week meant absolutely nothing to Arizona. They saw Minnesota win & lock up the #2 seed, so coach Whisenhunt only kept his starting defense in for one series, and Kurt Warner threw just six passes before exiting. On the flip side, Packers coach Mike McCarthy chose to keep his starters in for a majority of the game. So having a lopsided result is not at all surprising. And that lopsided result gives us great value today. The Cardinals opened as a 2.5-point favorite, but the Packers are now the 2.5-point favorite.
With Anquan Boldin not likely to play, even more people will line up to back the Pack. But Arizona has so many weapons to go with Larry Fitzgerald, such as Steve Breaston and Early Doucet in the passing game, and Beanie Wells has been a beast running the football. Kurt Warner is so good at getting rid of the football before the pressure gets to him, and he's very good at seeing where the blitz is coming from and hitting his hot read. Not taking anything away from Aaron Rodgers, who had a great season. But this is playoff football and he's making his first start. He did not really see the Arizona pass rush last week because they only played one series, but he'll get to know them really well today.

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons
Baltimore / New England Over 43
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the "over":
Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed will be playing in a limited roll today; a damaged nerve in his neck has hindered Reed over the past two seasons, but it was hip, ankle and groin injuries that kept him out of four December games.
Baltimore got offensive tackle Jared Gaither back after he missed a month due to a foot injury; with Gaither in the lineup, Baltimore had one of its best rushing games of the season, gaining 240 yards. Even with QB Joe Flacco making progress in his second season, the Ravens remain committed to running the ball; Ray Rice has been outstanding in his second season, rushing for 1,339 yards and seven TDs while leading the team with 78 receptions and he’s complemented by Willis McGahee.
It's interesting to point out that Baltimore has seen the total go "over" the posted number in all three road games they played this year as a road dog of 3 1/2 points or less.
On the other side of the field: Wes Welker was lost to injury last weekend; I expect rookie Julian Edelman, who has a similar skill set, to fill the roll adequately, but for Tom Brady's other offensive stars to step-up and fill the void. Keep in mind that in the two games Welker sat out and in the season finale, Edelman had a combined 21 catches for 221 yards.
Randy Moss has 83 catches for 1,264 yards and finished in a three-way tie for the league lead in TD's with 13; while he's assured of seeing plenty of double-teams, expect him to make a couple of big plays.
With RBs Sammy Morris, Laurence Maroney and Fred Taylor healthy, the Patriots have the option of attacking Baltimore with a three-pronged attack.
On the other side of the ball though; New England has looked anything but its normal defensive self this year and that lack of play was clearly evident in last weeks 34-27 loss to Houston. Teams are no longer in awe of this defensive corps and I expect it to struggle again against an improved Baltimore squad.
New England has seen the total go "over" the posted number in three of five contests when playing against a team with a winning record.
Bottom line: Brady is nursing an assortment of injuries, but certainly nothing as devastating as the season-ending torn knee ligaments he suffered in the 2008 opener. On Wednesday, he was named The Associated Press 2009 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
This number is simply too low; when taking all of the above into account, the sharp money in this one is on the OVER!

may have an update later with another play or 2
Dallas Stars (+108) at Columbus Blue Jackets (-117) – (1*)
It's the third meeting of the season between the Western Conference rivals, but the first at Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets won 4-1 at American Airlines Center on Nov. 19, and the Stars won 3-1 on Dec. 23. Things are looking up for the Blue Jackets, who come home after a two-game sweep in Alberta that wiped away the bad taste of a 7-3 blowout in Vancouver -- their 13th consecutive road loss. The Stars aren't a whole let better -- they're 11th in the West and have been consistent only in their inconsistency. Dallas is without two regulars, both of whom were injured Wednesday in New York. Center Mike Ribeiro will miss 4-6 weeks with a throat laceration after taking a stick across the throat, and defenseman Nicklas Grossman went on IR with an upper-body injury. Look the Blue Jackets to come out stinging.
Take COLUMBUS.
Ottawa Senators ()at Carolina Hurricanes (-135) – (1*)
Second of four meetings this season. Alex Kovalev recorded the hat trick on Dec. 12 as the Senators beat the Hurricanes 4-2 in Ottawa. Having alternated wins and losses over its last five games, Carolina will be shooting for its first two-game win streak since the beginning of December. Ottawa will be without Alfredsson and Spezza, along with the latest Michalek injury. This is the only game Sunday featuring Eastern Conference teams, so the Senators could ensure themselves of a little breathing room with a victory. They start play tied with the Canadiens for the last two playoff spots with 48 points. The ninth-place Flyers are just one point back. Take the pushing offense of Hurricanes.
Take CAROLINA.
