$200.00 Take ‘Under’ 35.0 New York Jets at Oakland (4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25)
Here we have two teams with bad quarterbacks and strong defenses. Both teams know that to protect their quarterbacks they have to establish the run. More runs should keep the clock going and should help keep this one ‘under’. This game is the lowest total on the board and the lowest total in several weeks and there is a good reason for it.
$300.00 #434 Dallas (-4) over Atlanta (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25)
This game is part of the “99 System”. The Cowboys have had two weeks to prepare and Atlanta is in a bit of a sandwich spot here. The Falcons managed to hold off the Bears last week for our Game of the Week win. And they have a big game against New Orleans next week. So they might be looking past this trip to Big D. Atlanta’s defense is ranked just No. 24 in terms of yards given up per game. You need to have a strong defense to win on the road in the NFL and Dallas has the edge here. The Cowboys are 5-2 ATS at home and 6-2 ATS against conference opponents. I think they get a big win here.
$2000.00 Take #422 Pittsburgh (-4) over Minnesota (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25)
This game is part of the “99 System”. The Steelers are the defending Super Bowl champions and I think that they are going to get a big win at home this week. Heinz Field is tough for any opponent to play and the Steelers and their crowd will be fired up here to face Brett Favre and the unbeaten Vikings. Minnesota has played three road games so far this year against teams with a combined 2-16 record. So Pitt is a step up in class for the Vikes. Minnesota may be primed for a letdown after their emotional win over Baltimore last week and I don’t think that the Vikings’ beat up secondary will be any match for Big Ben. The Steelers are 7-2 ATS against teams above .500 and they are 6-2 ATS at home. This line was bet up from -3.0 to -4.0 even though the Vikings are considered the stronger team by the public.
$2400.00 Take #417 Chicago (+1.5) over Cincinnati (4 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25)
This game is part of the “99 System” We won going against the Bears last week in Atlanta but there is no doubt that Chicago could have won that game. They had three turnovers in the red zone last week and I don’t think that will happen this time around. The Bears locked up Jay Cutler this week and the word around Bears camp is that everyone is feeling great about how he is playing and how he has taken control of the offense. Cincinnati got beat by 11 points at home to a Houston team that is not as strong as Chicago so I think that the Bears can break out another “upset” over the Bengals. Cincinnati has not been a strong favorite over the last few years because it is a role they are not accustomed to. Also, the fact that the oddsmakers don’t want to give the Bears a full field goal tells me that they think Chicago is actually the stronger team. Despite a winning record these are the same old Bungles. And I am betting that they will do the same things they always do with turnovers, bad coaching, and stupid plays that cost them this game. Chicago will win outright and take the cash for another GOTY score!
$400.00 Take #436 New York Giants (-7) over Arizona (8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25)
I think that the Giants will bounce back strong after getting humiliated in New Orleans. This Giants team is too good to be held down for very long and I think that they will be very focused for a Sunday night game against the defending NFC champions. The Giants are 8-2 ATS after a loss and they have been dominating at the Meadowlands over the past three years. I think that they will blitz Kurt Warner hard and they remember that he can be turnover-prone from his time in New York. I like the Giants big.
$400 Take #419 Green Bay (-7) over Cleveland (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 25)
Cleveland can’t score points and now they are going up against a Green Bay team that just pitched a shutout last week against a Detroit offense that is much better than Cleveland’s. Mike McCarthy has been a strong road bet, going 15-6 ATS away from Lambeau Field. The Browns are 1-5 ATS at home.
