(417) ATLANTA FALCONS
(418) OAKLAND RAIDERS
Take " (418) OAKLAND RAIDERS "
A non-conference battle of running teams. The Falcons (4-3 S/ATS) have been a surprise under new coach Mike Smith. They have a winning record despite 4 road games. The offense is building around rookie QB Matt Ryan (7 TDs, 5 picks), ranked 10th in the NFL. The running game is 4th in the NFL pounding out 150 yards rushing per contest. Free agent RB Michael Turner (655 yards, 4.7 ypc, 6 TDs) has been a beast, along with RB Jerious Norwood, while WR Roddy White (679 yards) has been impressive. The offense plays best when it can run, as rookie QB Ryan struggles when opponents put pressure on him. The Atlanta defense is ranked 25th. Even in the 27-24 victory at Green Bay, they gave up 408 yards. They are off a 27-13 loss at Philly, getting just 77 rushing yards while turning it over 3 times. The young Raiders (2-5 SU/3-4 ATS) are home after a long road trip from Baltimore, looking flat in a 29-10 defeat. They are on their second coach of the season in Tom Cable, the fifth coach of the Oakland Raiders in the past six years. Cable got his first win two weeks ago at home, in a wild 16-13 OT win over the NY Jets on a 57-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski. Cable came bent on bringing balance to a run-heavy offense and gave such orders to offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, who is calling the plays for the first time since coming to Oakland last year. Two young teams here, but have to side with the home club as the Raiders have played tough at home this year including a win over a good Jets team.
(421) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
(422) SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Take " (422) SEATTLE SEAHAWKS "
Inner Circle (Seahawks) : A long road trip for the Eagles (4-3 SU/ATS), a team that struggles in close games but wins going away in one-sided ones. They beat the Rams (38-3), Steelers (15-6), 49ers (40-26) and Falcons (27-13), but lost close ones to the Cowboys (41-37), Bears (24-20) and Redskins (23-17). Andy Reid’s talented team has great balance, as the offense is 8th overall and the defense is No. 7. QB Donovan McNabb (64% completions, 8 TDs, 3 INTs) is carrying the offense with rookie WR DeSean Jackson. RB Brian Westbrook (ankle, ribs) was sick of sitting and showed his All-Pro form by rushing for 167 yards and two touchdowns, as the Eagles beat the Atlanta Falcons 27-14 on Sunday. Westbrook missed two of the past three games with broken ribs and had been bothered by an ankle injury. The Seahawks (2-5 SU/3-4 ATS) running game is 12th overall behind newcomer Julius Jones, averaging 118 yards per game. Seneca Wallace (3 TDs, 1 pick) has stepped in for injured QB Matt Hasselbeck (back problems), and passed for 222 yards Sunday in his sixth career start, a 34-13 win at San Fran. Seattle's defense set the tone early on its way to five sacks, four forced fumbles. Seattle is 25-6 SU, 20-10-1 ATS its last 31 at home. Have to think the Eagles might be a bit tired in this spot. Plus, the Eagles face the NY Giants in a big division game next week and could be looking ahead against this Seahawks squad. We'll take the home team here as our Inner Circle play on Sunday.
(401) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
(402) CINCINNATI BENGALS
Take " (401) JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS "
Pro Blowout GOY: Jaguars.
The Jaguars strength is running the football -- and Cincy has trouble with the run. Jacksonville (3-4 SU/2-5 ATS) has been up and down and desperate for a win after last week's frustrating loss at home to the Browns. This team has talent and the combined record of the Jaguars' opponents is a league-best 21-10. The Jags had a key 24-17 upset at Denver as the offense had 415 yards (155 rushing). Even in the loss to the Browns, the offense had 380 yards. Garrard finished 25-of-42 passing for 283 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars lost despite converting 11 of 20 times on third down. The Lions have hogged the spotlight as the NFL's worst team, but the poor Bengals (0-8 SU, 2-6 ATS) are just as bad. The Cincy offense is ranked 31st in the NFL, while the defense is 20th. The offense is averaging just 228 total yards per game, second to last in rushing, while averaging just 14.6 points. Star QB Carson Palmer (3 TDs, 4 INTs) has been out much of the last few weeks ago with an inflamed right (throwing) elbow and is out. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick hasn't been able to get much going for the Bengals. They are off a 35-6 loss at Houston getting outgained 384-253. Fitzpatrick has started two of the last four games. The "new-look" defense looks as bad as ever, ranked 28th at stopping the run, allowing 146 yards rushing per contest, something the Jaguars will attack. "The fact that we can't run the ball right now is absolutely killing us," Bengals offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski said. And so will Jacksonville -- Play the Jaguars.

<HR style="COLOR: #a8a8a8" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->411 Detroit Lions (+12.5-13) vs Chicago ~ 3 Units
Anyone remember last week's double-digit dog? The Chiefs were +14 and almost won the game outright vs the Jets. We all profited off of that game so lets do the same on this one too. Double digit underdogs are 11-2 in covering the spread this year and 4 ended up winning straight up. Also, in these 2 team's meetings, the underdog is 7-2 ATS.
Chicago's double digit line is a bit shady. Their pre-bye week, super high scoring game vs the Vikings throws the line off a bit.. The Bears in that game had 2 defensive touchdowns, 4 interceptions and a fumble recovery. Anyone can score a lot of points with all of those uncommon turnovers. Typically the bears average 1 interception and less than 1 fumble recovery. They're allowing a cool 21.4 PPG while averaging 28 PPG on offense. And they make 86% of their field goals.
The Lions meanwhile are on pace to maybe have a 1 win season like the Dolphins of last year. They're getting better though. Their offense seems to be clicking a little better every game. Last week they scored 17 on the Washington's #6 ranked Yards Allowed defense. The Lion's strength lies in their passing game as their running game is almost non-existent. The Bears pass defense is ranked 29th allowing over 240 passing yards a game. This bodes well for the Lions to cover the spread of this game.
I have no doubt the Lions will lose this game, but not by 13.
