Nothing has changed. Just wanted to make sure everyone received this week's picks. Enjoy your Sunday!
4 UNIT = Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints - PANTHERS +10 (-110)
(Note: I'm risking 4.00 units to win 3.64 units)
2 UNIT = New York Jets @ Minnesota Vikings - JETS +6 (-115)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.74 units)
2 UNIT = Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars - JAGUARS +6 (-104)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.92 units)
2 UNIT = St Louis Rams @ Washington Redskins - REDSKINS +3 (-101)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.98 units)
2 UNIT = Kansas City Chiefs @ Arizona Cardinals - CHIEFS -1 (-108)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.85 units)
2 UNIT = SaN Francisco 49ers @ Oakland Raiders - 49ERS -8 (-104)

2 UNIT = Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles - EAGLES -1 (-108)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.85 units)
Kyle's Pick(s)
4 UNIT = New England Patriots @ San Diego Chargers - PATRIOTS -3.5 (-107)
(Note: I'm risking 4.00 units to win 3.74 units)
Despite losing last week to the Packers, that was a win for the Patriots' defense. You figure how easily the Packers have been rolling over teams at home, and the Pats made Aaron Rodgers and the offense look good, not great. Take away that gaffe at the end of the 1st half and the Packers scored 19 points. And take away that one play, and Revis completely shut Jordy Nelson down. The wide receiver position is not a strong suit of the San Diego Chargers and I think that is where we will make our money. Revis will be paired up with Keenan Allen. Allen is a receiver that has played above expectations with the Chargers this season, but other than Allen, there aren't other options for this offense. So, if Allen isn't going to shake Revis in this game, then I have a hard time believing they are going to be able to keep up with the Pats here. I see the Pats getting their points in this game, so the Chargers may have to score more points than the Packers did a week ago to win. The Patriots' offense didn't look too great last week, but after a down week I expect Tom Brady and company to look much sharper. Since 2007 the Patriots are 1st in the NFL in bouncing back after a loss with a 75.7% win percentage. After hard losses, there is no better in the business than Bill Belichick at rallying the troops to come back the next week more focused. The Chargers have the Broncos on deck and could be looking ahead. Also, the Patriots decided to head over to California for the week after departing from Green Bay. I will be on the Patriots on Sunday night to cover for 4 units.
2 UNIT = Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints - OVER 49.5 (-110)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.82 units)
For people that haven't been paying attention, the New Orleans Saints are a playoff football team. After losing to the Baltimore Ravens two weeks ago on primetime, and having a 5-7 record, that seems like a ridiculous statement. Given how terrible their division is, yes, it is looking like they are going to make the playoffs. It will come down to the Falcons and Saints, but I am going to give the edge to the Saints as will many others. The offense looked quite nice last week and I think it carries over to New Orleans this week. Believe it or not, the Saints are 2nd in the NFL in total yards per game with 430 a game and scoring 27 points. So the offense isn't as terrible as they've been made out to be this season. Consistency has been their problem, but I have a feeling they turn it on for the remainder of the season. Don't be fooled, this isn't the same Panthers' defense from last season. Losing Greg Hardy hurt them greatly. They're allowing 28 points per game which is about 10 points more than a year ago. I like the Saints to eclipse 30 points in this game against their defense. While the Saints' offense is still present, their defense has regressed after a big 2013. They are 31st in the NFL, ahead of only the Falcons, allowing 390 yards per game. The Saints are also giving up an average of only 27 points a game. I can't lay the 10 with this defense, but I do like the total going OVER at 49.5. As I see it, the Saints should be good for around 35 points and the Panthers should hit 20. Thus, sign me up for the OVER 49.5.
Cheers,
Kevin

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 8* (Regular Play) on Baltimore at Miami @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Miami Dolphins host the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Baltimore with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Ravens missed out on a big win versus San Diego last week, getting edged by one points, and are try to stay in the race for the top spot in the AFC North. Baltimore have covered in each of its last four meetings with the Dolphins and has comes away with the cash in four of its last five trips to Miami. 2. Baltimore’s rushing attack is ranked among the best in the NFL, rumbling for 131.8 yards per game. Running back Justin Forsett has stepped up, averaging an incredible 5.6 yards per carry on the ground. Miami was just rolled for 201 yards rushing against Denver and gave up 277 yards on the ground to the Jets last week. 3. Ravens QB Joe Flacco has been steady under center in the past three games, passing for a total of 637 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Baltimore’s balanced attack is helping boost their production on the scoreboard, scoring 34 and 33 points in their last two outings.
Play on Baltimore as an 8* Regular Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on Indianapolis at Cleveland @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Cleveland Browns host the Indianapolis Colts Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Indianapolis with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The controversy has started in Cleveland, where pressure is on QB Brian Hoyer to fight for his job. Hoyer was yanked after throwing two interceptions against Buffalo last week, forcing the Browns to go with rookie Johnny Manziel. Hoyer will be playing extra tight knowing the bench is just one bad throw away. 2. Indianapolis will try to add to that pressure with a devastating pass rush that has recorded 34 sacks on the season – tied for fifth most in the league. The Colts defense has nine sacks the last two games. 3. There’s a personal edge to this game for the Colts, with former Cleveland castoffs RB Trent Richardson and KR Josh Cribbs on Indianapolis’ roster. The Browns gave up on both players, who will undoubtedly want to show up their former club. Richardson will go up against a run defense allowing 132.5 yards per game. The Colts will rally around these two guys and lay it on thick in front of the Cleveland faithful Sunday.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on OVER in Denver vs. Buffalo @ 4:05 p.m. ET
The Denver Broncos host the Buffalo Bills Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on OVER in Denver with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Bills know what lies ahead for them at Mile High and will need to turn up the intensity in the passing game if they’re going to keep pace with Peyton Manning & Co. The Broncos put up 16 points per first half – a number that jumps to 19.7 at home. Buffalo will fall behind fast and turn to the passing game to dig themselves out. 2. Buffalo has the fifth-ranked stop unit in the NFL, allowing just 312.4 yards per game. But playing in the thin air of Sports Authority Field – especially against the Broncos’ up-tempo attack – can leave even the stingiest stop units running on empty. There’s a reason why Denver has gone over in 19 of its last 27 home games. 3. The Broncos offense has stalled inside the 20-yard line since star TE Julius Thomas went down with an injury. Denver is working around those problems, and should at least have TE Jacob Tamme on the field Sunday. Tamme and a rejuvenated run game will give Denver plenty of options inside the red zone.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 8* (Regular Play) on New England at San Diego @ 8:30 p.m. ET
The San Diego Chargers host the New England Patriots Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on New England with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Chargers defense isn’t generating any pressure on opposing passers, with only 18 sacks on the season. The last thing they want to do is giving Tom Brady extra time to pick apart the secondary. 2. The Patriots are coming off a game in which they limited the Green Bay Packers potent passing game to only 26 points – a solid defensive effort despite giving up 478 yards. New England is used to protecting against the deep ball – having just played Green Bay, Detroit, Indianapolis and Denver - and will face a Chargers offense with plenty of speed downfield. 3. Those expecting a dropoff in play due to the cross-country trip from the Patriots are dead wrong. In fact, the Pats have been on the West Coast since losing to Green Bay. New England flew directly to San Diego and has practiced there all week, getting accustomed to the time change. The Patriots have won five of the last six meetings with San Diego, posting a 4-2 ATS mark in those games.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Monday 8* (Regular Play) on Atlanta at Green Bay @ 8:30 p.m. ET
The Green Bay Packers host the Atlanta Falcons Monday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Atlanta with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Falcons are building momentum heading into the home stretch of the season, having won three of their last four, including a huge victory over the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. Atlanta is try to stay atop the NFC South and earn that automatic playoff bid with the wild card out of the question. 2. The Falcons were able to dominate the NFL’s best defense with the ground game last week, rushing for 142 yards on 34 carries and chewing up 37:03 in time of possession. Atlanta faces a Green Bay stop unit allowing 132.2 rushing yards per game – 29th in the NFL. The Falcons can control the pace of the action and keep Aaron Rodgers and Packers powerful offense on the sidelines. 3. While many point to the Falcons issues on the road, Atlanta has been right at home in Lambeau Field in recent trips to Wisconsin. The Falcons have covered in each of their last four games in Green Bay. The road side has also been the big winner when the Falcons and Packers collide, covering in seven of the last eight overall meetings between these two franchises.

The Miami Dolphins host the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Baltimore with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Ravens missed out on a big win versus San Diego last week, getting edged by one points, and are try to stay in the race for the top spot in the AFC North. Baltimore have covered in each of its last four meetings with the Dolphins and has comes away with the cash in four of its last five trips to Miami. 2. Baltimore’s rushing attack is ranked among the best in the NFL, rumbling for 131.8 yards per game. Running back Justin Forsett has stepped up, averaging an incredible 5.6 yards per carry on the ground. Miami was just rolled for 201 yards rushing against Denver and gave up 277 yards on the ground to the Jets last week. 3. Ravens QB Joe Flacco has been steady under center in the past three games, passing for a total of 637 yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Baltimore’s balanced attack is helping boost their production on the scoreboard, scoring 34 and 33 points in their last two outings.

1:00p Indianapolis Colts vs Cleveland Browns
Take: Indianapolis Colts -3½+100 in 2h
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on Indianapolis at Cleveland @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Cleveland Browns host the Indianapolis Colts Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Indianapolis with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The controversy has started in Cleveland, where pressure is on QB Brian Hoyer to fight for his job. Hoyer was yanked after throwing two interceptions against Buffalo last week, forcing the Browns to go with rookie Johnny Manziel. Hoyer will be playing extra tight knowing the bench is just one bad throw away. 2. Indianapolis will try to add to that pressure with a devastating pass rush that has recorded 34 sacks on the season – tied for fifth most in the league. The Colts defense has nine sacks the last two games. 3. There’s a personal edge to this game for the Colts, with former Cleveland castoffs RB Trent Richardson and KR Josh Cribbs on Indianapolis’ roster. The Browns gave up on both players, who will undoubtedly want to show up their former club. Richardson will go up against a run defense allowing 132.5 yards per game. The Colts will rally around these two guys and lay it on thick in front of the Cleveland faithful Sunday.
