why don't u get the fuck out of these forums AC? Ur ripping of Teddy is getting old. U don't contribute squat to anything that goes on here except your constant whining and bitching about cappers like Teddy who is someone that I've actually met that puts in the time and work in their handicapping and takes it seriously. He has integrity, you don't and that is what really bothers you.
WUNDERDOG
Game: San Diego at Dallas (Sunday 12/13 4:15 PM Eastern)
Pick: San Diego +3 (+100)
The Chargers are arguably playing as well as any team in the league right now. New Orleans and Indianapolis are grabbing the headlines thanks to perfect play all season. But, few have noticed that the Chargers have reeled off seven wins in a row by a combined score of 218-106. That's a winning margin of over two touchdowns per game! That's at least as good as New Orleans or Indianapolis and do you think either of those teams would be instilled as an underdog here? The under-appreciated Phillip Rivers is a good part of the reason this team is playing at such a high level. He has a QB rating of 105 and has thrown 21 TDs to just 5 INTs, yet he doesn't get the ink like the other top QBs. The Cowboys have the marquee name and the name QB with Tony Romo, but they are just 1-4 vs. teams with a winning record this season. The fact is that they aren't as good as their record. This is a team that has already lost four games outright as a favorite this season, and San Diego is a very loudbarking dog here - one that is 19-6-3 ATS in their last 28 when getting points. Dallas' December woes are now known to all. The Cowboys have a penchant for fading late in the season and are just 3-13-2 ATS in their last 18 December games including 1-9-2 in week 14, which usually begins the home stretch of the season in December. This is a good matchup for the Chargers who thrive against good offensive teams like Dallas. San Diego is 8-1 ATS the past three seasons vs. teams that average over 5.5 yards per play. They are also 15-4 ATS over that span when coming off back-to-back wins. Here we get to grab the superior team getting points.

Sunday's winners
30 Dime -- TEXANS (minus points vs. Seahawks)
TEXANS
Houston has really had a tough time of it lately, losing its last four games (1-3 ATS) to fall out of the playoff picture.
But those losses were by three, three, eight and five points, respectively, against tough division opponents in Indianapolis (twice), Tennessee and Jacksonville. While so many close losses had to have hurt, the Texans are going to want to unleash some pain on someone else today, and Seattle looks like a good team to do it against.
While the Seahawks have won their last two games, the victories came against a horrible St. Louis team and at home against a struggling San Francisco squad. And the 49ers actually outgained Seattle 356 to 292 in last week's game.
The Seahawks have been awful on the road this year, going 1-5 straight up and ATS. And outside of the victory over the Rams, they have lost by margins of 13, 17, 21, 11 and 26 points away from Seattle.
With quarterback Matt Schaub and star receiver Andre Johnson leading the way, the Texans possess the NFL's fourth-best passing attack with 278.9 ypg. And defending the pass is not exactly the Seahawks' strong suit, as they allow 243.5 ypg through the air to rank 26th in the league.
Houston has been a strong second-half team in its existence and is 5-2 ATS in its last seven games in December. And Seattle is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games as an underdog, 1-6 ATS in its last seven road games and 0-7 ATS in its last seven as a road underdog. Load up and take the Texans to win in a rout today.
10 Dime -- Bengals (plus points vs. VIKINGS)
BENGALS
Cincinnati is getting absolutely no respect this season despite a 9-3 record, but this team is for real.
And while the Bengals possess some real weapons on offense with Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson and Chad Ochocinco, it is the defense that have really sparked the team this year. Cincinnati is allowing a league-low 15.6 ppg this season, including an average of 11.5 over its past six games.
Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson are going to provide a tough test for the Bengals today, but if rookie receiver Percy Harvin, who has been suffering from severe migraines this week, has to miss the game or is limited, that could really hurt Minnesota's offense.
The Vikings are without standout linebacker E.J. Henderson, who was placed on injured reserve after breaking his left thigh bone last weekend, and that should help open some things up for Benson and the Bengals' running game today.
Cincinnati is 8-0 ATS in its last eight games as an underdog, including 6-0 this year, and the underdog has covered the spread in every one of the Bengals' games this season.
Minnesota is 2-7 ATS against teams with a winning record, while Cincinnati is 6-0 ATS against teams with a winning record. I like the Bengals to cover the points today, and they might even win this game outright.
