Game Date/Time: December 27, 2009, 10:00 am(PST) Matchup: Carolina Panthers @ NY Giants Giants
Take: Carolina Panthers
CAROLINA vs NY GIANTS: The New York Giants need help to reach the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. But the Carolina Panthers may be the team to destroy that dream. It seemed like just last week, Julius Peppers was all over the Vikings backfield causing all kind of problems for Brett Farve and the Minnesota Coaching staff. What a way to get the headlines except by doing the same thing to Eli Manning. WAR says it defense and creating T.O.'s and that exactly what Carolina has been doing. New York, averaging 38.0 points and 412.0 yards during its last three games, will face a Panthers defense that’s totaled eight interceptions and five fumbles over the last four contests. And the Panthers may have an answer to their offense. The Giants will have to find an answer for Matt Moore, who had career highs with 299 passing yards and three TDs against the Vikings. He found Steve Smith nine times for 157 yards, including the go-ahead, fourth-quarter score. Moore will make his third consecutive start for Carolina. Look for a rejuvenated Panthers team to "play spoiler" and with no pressure on them get the upset in New York. Take Carolina as a WAR Billionaires Club release.
THE POINTSPREAD IS MOVING ON THIS GAME AFTER ANNOUNCED IT IS WAR's DOG OF THE MONTH

Game Date/Time: December 27, 2009, 1:15 pm(PST) Matchup: NY Jets Jets @ Indianapolis Colts
Take: NY Jets Jets
NY JETS vs INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: Rex Ryan watched Colts tapes all week searching for flaws. His conclusion: To beat the NFL’s last perfect team, it will take, well, the perfect game. “Obviously, you can’t afford any mental mistakes against this offense. Indy coach Jim Caldwell has been noncommittal about if, or how long, his starters will play Sunday. Caldwell said that will be determined in large part by injuries, reiterating what he said last week. Manning should start, as he has done in all 190 regular-season games since joining the Colts, but could exit after a series or two—or after he and his teammates attain individual goals, as has happened in the past. Caldwell doesn’t intend to let numbers impact his decisions. The Jets do have a formula that can beat Indy. They lead the NFL in rushing. And the New York Jets have a dream defense on paper, a unit that’s ranked No. 1 overall in the league and has piled up some gaudy stats. The Jets could actually provide a stiff test for the Colts’ offense. Among the many categories New York leads the league in are pass defense, yards allowed, offensive points allowed, yards per play and scoring drives. One would think that would add up to a team fighting for a No. 1 overall seed, not for its playoff life. The reality is the Jets do have a terrific defense, one that has the talent to be even better. A big performance against the Colts—and a win—could go a long way in them earning the respect they desire. WAR says this respect will be garnered with a Jets victory and has made the Jets his Millionaires Club underdog game of the month!!
A VERY INTERESTING contest WITH 2 RIVALS.

Game Date/Time: December 27, 2009, 5:20 pm(PST) Matchup: Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins
Take: Washington Redskins
DALLAS vs WASHINGTON: It's no secret that WAR is big on defense. He starts with teams that can make a stop. The Redskin team currently has a decent defense ...for a horrible team. The Washington Redskins haven’t had much to hang their helmets on during what has been a dysfunctional season at best.The defense was one of the few bright spots. The Redskins defense has been ranked in the top 10 seven times this decade and the players want it to be there again this year. They are currently ninth in the NFL. “Staying focused the whole year is the key, whether you are the No. 1 defense or far down. I think we just are losing our focus a little bit.” But there's no better way to get recharged and refocused than a game against a bitter rival...that being the Dallas Cowboys...on National TV. With closing games against two red-hot offenses, home this week against Dallas followed by a road trip to San Diego, the Redskins will need to summon up their early season form to remain in the top 10 defensively. This is the 100th meeting between these 2 teams with both playoff meetings won by the Redskins. Emotionally, players and fans say there’s nothing like it, especially in Washington, where the rivalry has always been taken more seriously than in Dallas. WAR thinks the Redskins are up for their season average of allowing around 20 points and that will be enough defense to have the Skins cover the pointspread. This is WAR's No Limit selection taking the Redskins.
