11 *SEATTLE over Denver
Late Score Forecast:
*SEATTLE 31 - Denver 13
Seattle “bit” us on these pages last week, as San Diego was clearly more intense after the Chargers fumbled away
a golden opportunity in the closing minutes to pull an opening-game upset at Arizona. San Diego, intent on avoiding another of its chronic slow starts, owned the ball for 42 minutes and 15 seconds of the game, seriously restricting the Seattle offense, as Marshawn Lynch was limited to just six carries! Big-play WR/KR Percy Harvin made a big one for S.D., fumbling away a kickoff in the 30-21 loss. But if the recent past means anything, that poor performance by the reigning champs means mostly that they will be doubly-focused come Sunday, when the revenge-minded Broncos arrive in town. It will be the first game for Denver at CenturyLink Field since 2002. So Manning & Co. better get ready to “feel the noise,” as Russell Wilson has lost only one home game in his 2+Ys in the NFL, with a spread mark of 14-4-1.
NINE-RATED GAMES:
PITTSBURGH (+3½) at Carolina [NFL, Sun. Night Football]—Rested Steelers have the muscle,
QBing, and coaching to edge Cam (5 sacks last week) in Carolina
TOTALS:
OVER (41½) in the Baltimore-Cleveland Game—What’s this? The Browns suddenly have an offense?
OVER (51) in the Green Bay-Detroit Game—Packers’ offense came alive last week; Lions “over” 7 of last 10 at home

Red Sheet
SEATTLE 33 - Denver 20 - (4:25) -- Line opened at Seattle minus 4½, and is still minus 4½. Oh, how the Broncos want
this one, after having to live with their 43-8 Super Bowl embarrassment for the past 8½ months. So
revenge is a given, right? Not quite, as Denver is not only travelling to the unquestioned toughest
venue in all of sports, but must take on mighty Seahawks, fresh off a rare pitiful performance, in losing
at SanDiego (12-FD, 276-180 PY deficits). Denver is yet to cover, & has been outscored 41-31, since
24-0 lead over Indy. Wilson & mates to bounce back in style. A Superior Play if it weren't for Manning.
RATING: SEATTLE 88
NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): New Orleans, Giants, Jets

#5 ALERT IN CLASS (ML=3/1)
#4 VIOLATE (ML=5/2)
ALERT IN CLASS - I wouldn't worry too much about the vacation; this filly is ready to run today. The Jun 7th race at Emerald Downs was at a class level of (92). Dropping down in class ranks considerably, so she should be in a good spot. VIOLATE - I have to like this filly's chances at the shorter distance.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 FIRST FLOWER (ML=2/1), #3 SANTA HELENA (ML=7/2), #1 FULL MOON PRINCESS (ML=5/1),
FIRST FLOWER - Today's race is 6 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a sprint race in the last couple of months. Not the greatest of signals. SANTA HELENA - Most of the time I need a sprinter to have some recent good showings in short distance affairs in order to play her. Finished fifth in her most recent race with a quite unimpressive speed fig. When I look at today's class figure, it would take an improved performance to win after that in this group. FULL MOON PRINCESS - This less than sharp equine ran a disappointing speed rating in the last race. She shouldn't show signs of improvement and will probably get beat in today's race running that rating.

#5 DOUBLE SHUFFLE (ML=5/1)

#3 CARL COMMAND (ML=7/2)
DOUBLE SHUFFLE - Lets try to beat the low-odds horses with this gelding. Just missed last out, but ran a decent race. Bowen is reunited today with this horse after enjoying some pretty nice success riding in the past. That 85 fig this gelding notched in his last clash tells me he's a main player in today's event. BIG BAD BROWN - Penney brings him right back. I advise you stick with this hot gelding. CARL COMMAND - I can't ignore the fact that this gelding is working extremely well. This jock and handler's animals have been producing a favorable return on investment.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 CAN'T GET ENOUGH (ML=9/5), #4 NO CLAIM WILL DO (ML=4/1),
CAN'T GET ENOUGH - Finished first in his most recent performance with a mediocre speed fig. When I look at today's class figure, it would take an improved performance to score after that in this group. NO CLAIM WILL DO - The speed fig last out doesn't fit very well in this contest when I look at the class rating of today's contest. Mark this mount as a possibly overvalued contestant.

# 4 BONIFIED MAN 9/2
# 3 JESS ANOTHER REB 7/2
# 1 COLOSSO 2/1
I think BONIFIED MAN is a strong choice. Has run solidly when moving a longer quarter horse race. The Equibase Speed Figure of 57 from his most recent contest looks solid in here. Could provide positive gains based on solid recent Equibase Speed Figures with an average of 74. JESS ANOTHER REB - Is a strong contender based on figures garnered as of late under today's conditions. Should be carefully examined for this race if only for the quite good Equibase speed fig recorded in the last affair. COLOSSO - He looks solid in this slot and I expect will be on the lead or close at the halfway point. Win percentage with this rider and trainer combo - 16 percent - formidable.

NEWSLETTER NFL Football Prediction From Indian Cowboy
Take #477 Pittsburgh (+3.5) over Carolina (8:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 21)
I am going to have one of my biggest football cards this weekend. And we are going to continue to give you free comp selections on every Sunday Night Football game. We enjoy fading the public, and that contest each night provides us a great opportunity to do just that and gives another element of consistency to our fabulous newsletter here at Docs. Per this contest, this is a fantastic opportunity for Pittsburgh to do well here and bury the public on the last weekday game on the board. Pittsburgh comes off a 6-26 loss to Baltimore, but it’s hard to fault Pitt here. Baltimore had an emotional game amid the Ray Rice scandal, the public was on Pittsburgh, the underdog in that contest, and the trap was set and the public took a hit. Similar situation here as the public is now on Carolina after their exciting 2-0 start to the year and 66% of the latest consensus polls backing Carolina coming off a big win over the Lions. However, the Lions were coming off a big win over the lowly Giants on Monday Night Football and were in a classic let down spot (that was another game where 66% of the public took the underdog in the Lions and got buried – it was our comp selection on Sunday). Look for another similar situation here as the public likely takes a hit, Pitt bounces back from a very poor performance in their last game losing by 20 points and Carolina has a classic let down here. If Carolina was truly expected to do well, you will see this line closer to -6.5 or even -7.5 to bury the public. But rather, you see them just as a small favorite here, which states that Pitt (similar to Philadelphia on Monday Night as a small underdog) is expected to do well here. Note, the Steelers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games when facing a team with a winning home record, and the Steelers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings to their credit. Let’s fade the public once again Sunday Night.
Take #477 Pittsburgh (+3.5) over Carolina (8:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 21)
I am going to have one of my biggest football cards this weekend. And we are going to continue to give you free comp selections on every Sunday Night Football game. We enjoy fading the public, and that contest each night provides us a great opportunity to do just that and gives another element of consistency to our fabulous newsletter here at Docs. Per this contest, this is a fantastic opportunity for Pittsburgh to do well here and bury the public on the last weekday game on the board. Pittsburgh comes off a 6-26 loss to Baltimore, but it’s hard to fault Pitt here.

NEWSLETTER NFL Football Prediction From Strike Point Sports
Take #460 New Orleans (-9.5) over Minnesota (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 21)
It was an easy Bonus Play winner last week with the Bengals, and all I’ve been doing is handing out winners this year. I have gone 10-5 for over $3,200 in profit in college and the NFL combined, and I am 8-1 with my top plays with another pair of 7-Unit Plays coming this week. This is where the New Orleans Saints make a statement. The Minnesota Vikings are in a state of turmoil, and the New Orleans Saints are looking to absolutely destroy someone. What a perfect spot for New Orleans. The Saints are in front of their home crowd coming off two tough, tough loses, and they will be looking to just put it on the Vikings. New Orleans is 35-16 ATS in their last 51 home games, while the Vikings are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games versus a team with a losing home record. The Vikings have had some success versus New Orleans lately, especially in New Orleans, but not this time. The way that this game is setting up makes it feel that New Orleans is going to win by numerous touchdowns. This game has a 41-17 feel to it. The Saints defense hasn’t played well at all this season, but I see them really getting after the Vikings and causing havoc all over the field. Look for New Orleans to really take advantage of their quick-strike offense and put some of the naysayers to rest with a demolishing of Minnesota. Lay the big number in this one

We’ll gladly go under on this inflated total as both teams are in low-scoring situations. Not only have the Jags averaged less than 14 points per game so far this season, but they are 5-10 to the under in their last 15 home games and have also gone under in eight of their last 14 divisional games. What’s more, the last six meetings in this series have all gone under the total, averaging just 34.5 points per game, which is more than 10 points less than today’s total. Go under!
