NFL WEEK 7

October 19-23, 2006

Confidential Kick-Off!! The Gold Sheet!!

11 *SEATTLE over Minnesota

Late Score Forecast:

*SEATTLE 28 - Minnesota 9

(Sunday, October 22)

Have much praise for the job new HC Brad Childress has done so far with

Minnesota, and veteran QB Brad Johnson (now 38!) is a heady leader. But

Viking offense has not reached the 20-point mark on its own TY, and too often

the attack is forced to dink, dink, dink away, with few defense-busting

plays. That's not a good formula in Seattle, where the Seahawks are 10-2

their last 12 when favored and where points often come in bunches. MVP Shaun

Alexander (check foot injury) is expected back for this one, and former

Patriot WR Deion Branch contributed 6 recs. and 2 TDs in last week's win at

St. Louis. Hawks' quick defense collected 6 sacks last in the Rams game, and

that unit feeds off the rabid Seattle crowd, which gets louder with every

positive play.

    Playbook (NFL) -

    5* BEST BET

    Philadelphia over TAMPA BAY by 14

    Before playing the Saints last week, the Eagles were 22-10 SU

    in their last 32 non-division road games with 21 covers in the

    mix, including a sparkling 9-3 ATS log in their last 12. Tampa is

    struggling this season, winning on the fi nal play of the game

    for the fi rst time last week against the defenseless Bengals.

    Do the Eagles remember the home loss to Tampa in the 2002

    playoffs and 17-0 home loss to Bucs to open the 2003 season?

    Maybe. We do know Philly head coach Andy Reid is 17-6 ATS

    away off a loss in his NFL career, including 8-1 ATS off a SU

    favorite loss (5-0 ATS when favored). Pay Day in the Bay.

    4* BEST BET

    KANSAS CITY over San Diego by 6

    Despite San Diego's road success over the last few years, the

    Chargers have never viewed Kansas City as their favorite road

    trip. One SU & ATS win in the last nine visits to the Barbecue

    Pit is all San Diego could manage. This trip won't be any

    easier. With Trent Green back (check status) and the Chiefs

    playing Herm Edwards defense, the Chargers better pack their

    lunches. Disparate results from last week lend great value to

    the host. KC's 9-1 ATS home dog log against foes off back-toback

    SUATS wins doesn't hurt, either. Bolts blow a fuse.

    3* BEST BET

    INDIANAPOLIS over Washington by 1

    Everyone agrees that the Colt rush defense is its Achilles heel

    but no one on the Colt staff seems to have the answer. Enter

    Washington, a strong running team with a good enough

    defense to keep Peyton Manning in check and a home-run

    hitting wide receiver to keep the Colts from stacking against

    the run. Indy doesn't lose many home games, we know that,

    but this number is simply a little too high for our tastes. It's not

    often you fi nd a double-digit NFL dog that was a double-digit

    favorite the previous week (they are 7-2 ATS since 1980). With

    only one of the Colts' fi ve wins by more than seven points this

    season, and Washington wounded after last week's shocker

    against Tennessee, the points become the play here today.

    Jacksonville over HOUSTON by 8

    With one win in their last 15 tries (a 21-0 win at Jacksonville in

    2004) against winning teams, the Texans won't be at the top of

    our list this week. The well-rested Jags have also held four of their

    fi ve foes to season low yards this season. But, Jack is a lowly 1-9-1

    ATS as road chalk off a non-division home win and 1-6 ATS in its

    last seven tries as October favorites into revenge. No thanks.

    New England over BUFFALO by 6

    New England has pretty much owned the Bills. The Pats are 11-1

    SU in the last 12 meetings and a phenomenal 16-3-1 ATS in the

    second meeting of the season over the last two decades (beat

    Buffi e in season opener this year). Forget revenge. Division home

    teams with revenge against the Patriots have covered once in the

    last eight opportunities. Still, we think the gap is closing between

    these two AFC East rivals and, despite the Pats' 9-0-1 ATS mark in

    division games before back-to-back non-division contests, we are

    just a bit hesitant to lay points in this situation.

    Pittsburgh over ATLANTA by 3

    Despite starting this season with losses at Jacksonville and at San

    Diego, Pittsburgh remains the premier road team in the NFL.

    The Steelers are 16-4 SU in their last 20, including 7-2 ATS as an

    underdog (check line). Atlanta is 4-18 at home off a home game,

    including 1-12 ATS versus a foe off a win and 1-10 ATS as a dog.

    Worse yet, in their NFL history, the Falcons are 1-11-1 SU all-time

    against the Black and Gold.

    MIAMI over Green Bay by 6

    It's sad for us to see Brett Favre struggle like he has but, to his and

    his team's credit, the Packers are still playing hard. That could be

    enough to get the cover against a Miami team who is a woeful 1-11

    ATS in its last dozen tries as home favorites of -3 or more. Miami's

    defense, however, is in the top fi ve in the league. Green Bay's

    is better than only Houston's. Dolphin receivers dropped seven

    crucial passes in last week's loss to the Jets as this team continues

    to shoot itself in the foot. Amputation may be in the offi ng.

    NY JETS over Detroit by 1

    Here we go again with the Lions on the road. Five wins in their

    last 43 trips is the what the Lions have managed since the start of

    the 2001 season and, with the plethora of injuries at key positions

    suffered recently, they don't fi gure to improve that awful road

    record. Nevertheless, the Jets don't rebound well after playing

    Miami (0-6 ATS last six) and, in their last three tries as a favorite

    against NFC teams, they lost all three outright. Surprisingly, the

    Lions owns the better rushing stats.

    Carolina over CINCINNATI by 3

    Going against one of the best dogs in the NFL (Carolina 20-4 ATS

    last 24) with a superior defense is not something we're in the habit

    of doing and we're not doing it here. Carolina started slowly this

    season but has improved every week. They are 4-0 SU with star

    WR Steve Smith in the lineup this season. Cincinnati started fast

    but is slipping. Take the points.

    Denver over CLEVELAND by 6

    The Broncos rarely lose to losing teams. With the exception of

    season openers where nobody is a winner or a loser, the Broncos

    are 21-5 SU in their last 26 against sub .500 clubs. That makes

    things tough for the Browns because Denver is 84-9 ATS in its

    last 93 SU road wins. Still, Cleveland showed its mettle against a

    similar team (Baltimore) on this fi eld earlier and the Browns are 7-2

    ATS in their last nine against non-division AFC foes. We think the

    Broncos could possibly be more focused on their next two games

    (Colts and Steelers) than they might be here today.

    SEATTLE over Minnesota by 7

    The Vikings had an extra week to prepare for the Seattle offense

    but their history against this division is terrible. They are 0-6 SU in

    their last six on the road against NFC West and 0-10 ATS in their last

    ten. Seattle, though, has just one cover in its last nine tries against

    rested teams. One thing's for sure, Minnesota will need more than

    one TD, its average production this season, to cover this.

    OAKLAND over Arizona by 1

    Although Oakland is a perfect 0-9 ATS in its last nine as home dogs

    and 3-19-1 ATS in its last 23 games following a division road game,

    we're not going to hurry to the Arizona window. The Cardinals

    have one cover in their last seven tries as road chalk and just three

    wins in their last 31 road games with only eight covers. Sooner or

    later, Oakland is going to break through with a win...

    Monday, October 23rd

    DALLAS over NY Giants by 3

    In one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, it is essential that you

    protect your home fi eld, particularly in division games, and Dallas

    has the numbers to do just that. The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS at home

    with revenge in October and 8-2 ATS at home off a non-conference

    game. The rejuvenated G-Men are 7-1 ATS on the road in October

    off back-to-back wins and covers. But this game is about more

    than numbers. Both teams have to win to stay in step within the

    division. We're still looking for a solid edge.

    SUPER BEST BET

    PHILADELPHIA over *TAMPA BAY by 21

    Last week Philly succumbed to the two-headed monster that is homefield advantage at

    the Louisiana Superdome, while at the same time being off a hard-fought win vs. a division

    rival. At this rate, we should be asking if any road team has a chance in Saints territory.

    Luckily for Philly, they escape New Orleans and travel to Tampa Bay, who delivered

    a huge upset of their own by taking down an unprepared Bengals team. Bruce

    Gradkowski seems to have replaced the injured Chris Simms as the QB of the future for

    the Bucs and has led spirited efforts in each of the last two contests. The Bucs defense

    also played very well against Cincy, holding them to 53 yards rushing after giving up an

    average of 179.5 rushing yards per game. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, Philly throws

    way more than they run, with Donovan McNabb throwing an average of 35 times a game

    while the team averages 24 rushing attempts. The Eagles will be highly motivated after

    suffering the classic letdown game after two “bigâ€

    ****BEST BET

    Carolina over *Cincinnati by 14

    Maybe it has been a little too premature to scoff at Carolina as a serious

    Super Bowl contender. Since star wide receiver Steve Smith returned to the

    lineup, the Panthers are 4-0. It’s not a coincidence. Smith is the most dangerous

    wideout in football. He has been getting healthier and healthier

    each week. Likewise, his stats keep growing.The Panthers are a formidable

    foe with Smith.Their stature increases. It’s not just Smith.The Panthers also

    have the most dominant player on defense, Julius Peppers. He leads the

    league in sacks. Peppers can wreak a lot of havoc on Cincinnati with

    Carson Palmer having protection problems. Palmer has been sacked 17

    times.This is especially alarming because the Bengals try hard to be a balanced

    team.Also distressing for the Bengals are their offensive line injuries.

    The Panthers’ run defense has come alive holding their last four foes under

    100 yards rushing.The Bengals, on the other hand, rank among the bottom

    10 teams in rush defense.We’re talking about a run defense that surrendered

    a whopping 231 yards on the ground to the Patriots in Cincinnati’s

    last home game three weeks ago. Palmer, coming off serious injury concerns,

    is not where he was a year ago when he could compensate for any

    defensive shortcomings. In addition, Chad Johnson is having an off-season.

    He’s averaging just 60 yards receiving per game. He has yet to break 100

    yards.Traditionally the Panthers are at their best as underdogs, while the

    Bengals are at their worst as home favorites. Carolina has covered a remarkable

    18 of 21 (85) percent when taking points.The Bengals are just 3-8 ATS

    (27 percent) laying points at home. Until these trends are reversed, the

    Panthers are worth riding anytime you can grab points with them, especially

    with Smith now 100 percent and the Bengals’ offensive line bangedup.

    CAROLINA 28-14.

    ***BEST BET

    *Houston over Jacksonville by 8

    Jacksonville has a tendency to play down to its competition’s level.Look no

    further than this series for proof.The Texans are one of the worst teams in

    the NFL, but they take the Jaguars very serious. It’s become their rivalry

    game with many of their players having roots in Florida. Houston is 6-2 ATS

    against Jacksonville, 4-4 SU.The Texans have beaten and covered three of

    four at home against the Jaguars.Want more evidence of the Jaguars’ vulnerability?

    Jacksonville is 1-9-1 ATS as a road favorite following a straight-up

    non-division home win.The Jaguars were off last week, but on the previous

    Sunday buried the Jets, 41-0, at Alltel Stadium. Jacksonville has been dominant

    at home, outscoring their foes, 74-17. On the road, though, the Jaguars

    are 0-2 having surrendered a combined 57 points to the Colts and

    Redskins. Of course, the Texans are not the Colts. But new coach Gary

    Kubiak has installed a respectable offense. It’s respectable enough where

    David Carr was leading the NFL in passing through Week 5.Andre Johnson

    ranked third in receptions and fourth in receiving yardage heading into

    Week 6 and the offensive line was protecting Carr better. Jacksonville’s

    stout defense has taken several major injury hits. Out for the season are

    middle linebacker and leading tackler Mike Peterson and Reggie Hayward,

    who led Jacksonville in sacks last year. In addition, defensive tackle Marcus

    Stroud is questionable.The Jaguars’ run defense isn’t so imposing without

    Peterson and Stroud, who teams with John Henderson to give Jacksonville

    one of the better run stop units. Houston’s weakness is a defense that ranks

    near the bottom in nearly all the major statistical categories.The Texans are

    surrendering 29.4 points a game. But they have the offense, motivation, history

    and catch Jacksonville missing key players to pull the upset. HOUSTON

    24-16.

    **PREFERRED

    *Cleveland over Denver by 3

    The Browns have the special teams, coaching, defensive intensity and playmakers,

    Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow Jr., to spring an upset here.

    Most important, they are in a tremendous situational spot. Denver is off a

    physical Monday night home win against Baltimore.This was followed by a

    Sunday night home game against long-standing division rival Oakland, a

    team Broncos coach Mike Shanahan despises. After this matchup, the

    Broncos host the Colts in another marquee matchup.This is the only road

    game Denver plays in a four-week span. It’s also the only matchup not

    nationally televised or drawing heavy media scrutiny. If the Broncos are

    going to have a flat spot, this is it. Cleveland has a different focus. The

    Browns were idle last week. They will be rested and fired-up. Offensive

    coordinator Maurice Carthon and his play-calling have come under fire.

    Don’t be surprised if the Browns have some new wrinkles given the extra

    preparation time. QB Charlie Frye is athletic and courageous. He has the

    support of his teammates. Edwards and Winslow give him two excellent

    targets in the passing game. Denver has covered only one of its last six

    against AFC North Division squads.The Broncos usually start slow.They’ve

    scored just seven points in the first quarter.The Browns can build momentum

    early and pull the upset. CLEVELAND 19-16.

    **PREFERRED

    New England over *Buffalo by 15

    Buffalo gave New England all it could handle opening week, leading by 10

    in the second half before finally losing, 19-17. Don’t look for the final score

    to be so close this time around. Good-looking rookie Lawrence Maroney is

    now more involved in the Patriots’ ground attack. He and Corey Dillon can

    take advantage of Buffalo’s vulnerable run defense with a strong 1-2 ground

    punch. The Bills do have good pass rushers.Tom Brady, though, has been

    sacked just five times. He’s had time now to get in sync with his new

    receivers.With an effective ground game, Brady should find little trouble

    exploiting the Bills’ young defensive backs. Conversely, New England

    entered its bye week rated 12th in rush defense.The Patriots will be keying

    on Willis McGahee, who they held to 70 yards rushing on 20 carries, a

    3.5 average, in the first meeting. So the Bills are going to need J.P. Losman

    to step up here.We don’t see that happening. Not with New England’s

    defense having better personnel this year compared to last season and Bill

    Belichick having two weeks to prepare a strong game plan.The Patriots are

    giving up 14.8 points per game. Last year, they surrendered 21.1 points.The

    Patriots have covered nine of their past 11 away contests.They also have

    defeated the Bills 11 of the last 12 times, covering eight of the 12 (66 percent).

    NEW ENGLAND 28-13.

    *CLOSE CALLS

    San Diego over *Kansas City by 7

    Granted Arrowhead Stadium is one of the toughest road venues. But with

    Philip Rivers looking better and better, the Chargers have been rolling

    along having led for all but one minute this season. San Diego is 14-2-2 (87

    percent) ATS on the road.The Chargers also have covered four of their last

    five at Arrowhead.The Chiefs’ aged offensive line no longer can open holes

    for Larry Johnson against top run defenses like San Diego’s.With journeyman

    Damon Huard filling in for injured Trent Green (check status), the

    Chiefs don’t have the threat of a passing attack either to keep the Chargers

    from bunching up on Johnson.As the Steelers showed last week, the Chiefs

    still have a long ways to go on defense, too. SAN DIEGO 26-19.

    Pittsburgh over *Atlanta by 3

    The Falcons have rushed for more than 200 yards in all but one of their

    games. However, it’s hard to envision seeing them do it against Pittsburgh,

    which has stout defensive linemen and quick linebackers to keep Michael

    Vick in check. After being held without a touchdown pass and throwing

    seven interceptions the first five weeks, Ben Roethlisberger broke out in a

    big way last Sunday with a near perfect game against Kansas City. Perhaps

    the rust is gone. The Falcons have yet to prove they can step up against

    superior competition.Atlanta is 1-8 SU, 1-7-1 ATS since last year when facing

    playoff teams. PITTSBURGH 15-12.

    *Miami over Green Bay by 2

    It’s hard to lay points with a Dolphins squad that has yet to score more than

    17 points even against a team as young and turnover prone as the Packers.

    The Packers do probably catch a break, though, drawing Joey Harrington

    rather than recovering Daunte Culpepper. Since 2003, Culpepper had

    thrown 14 touchdown passes against the Packers with zero interceptions

    when he was at Minnesota, while Green Bay was 5-2 against Detroit when

    Harrington started for the Lions. Miami didn’t allow a sack against the Jets

    last week, but still has surrendered 22 on the season. It’s Miami’s first home

    game in four weeks, but Green Bay’s had an additional week to get ready.

    MIAMI 21-19.

    Philadelphia over *Tampa Bay by 4

    Can the Eagles get upset on the road twice in two weeks by an NFC South

    team? Tampa Bay has history going 14-3-1 ATS as a home underdog.There’s

    such a big quarterback difference, though. Donovan McNabb is making

    MVP noise with a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 13-2. He’s been held

    under 288 yards passing just once this season, with the Saints holding him

    to 247 last Sunday. Bucs rookie Bruce Gradkowski makes his third start.

    He’ll be going against a blitz-happy Eagles defense with an excellent secondary.

    Eagles ace defensive coordinator Jim Johnson now has NFL game

    film on Gradkowski.Tampa ranked first in defense last year.There has been

    slippage this season with sloppy tackling and just five takeaways.

    PHILADELPHIA 17-13.

    *New York Jets over Detroit by 5

    Oh,well, Detroit fans at least the Tigers are good.Kevin Jones could have a

    second consecutive 100-yard rushing game here as the Jets are giving up

    an average of 157.2 yards on the ground their last five games.The expected

    return of hard-hitting strong safety Kenoy Kennedy should aid a porous

    Detroit secondary. The Jets also are 1-8 ATS after meeting the Dolphins.

    What keeps us off Detroit is its cluster injury problem on the offensive line

    where 10 linemen already have been lost. Detroit is down to just two offensive

    line starters. It’s also the Lions’ third road game in four weeks.The Jets

    aren’t pretty, but somehow rookie coach Eric Mangini has New York at 3-3.

    Mangini has the defensive mind to exploit Detroit’s battered offensive line,

    especially playing at home. NY JETS 22-17.

    *Indianapolis over Washington by 7

    Has there ever been a more uninspired 5-0 team than Indianapolis? The

    Colts have been on cruise control.They haven’t looked especially good or

    inspired with four of their five victories coming by a total of 16 points.

    That’s an average victory margin of four points.Washington’s secondary

    gets a big boost with the return of cornerback Shawn Springs, who made

    his season debut last week after being out since the first preseason game

    with groin and abdominal injuries. Being idle last week, though, just could

    reinvigorate Indy. The Redskins couldn’t stop the Jaguars, Cowboys and

    even Titans, plus the Giants moved the ball at will against them. Peyton

    Manning inside a dome could light them up. INDIANAPOLIS 34-27.

    *Seattle over Minnesota by 6

    It took two defensive TDs at home against the Lions for the Vikings to break

    the 20-point barrier.There’s just not a lot of firepower with Minnesota.New

    Coach Brad Childress has switched the offense to a power-ground attack

    with Chester Taylor running and Brad Johnson throwing dink passes.

    Seattle has yet to allow a 100-yard rusher. But before we can lay big points

    with Seattle we need to know if Shaun Alexander (check status) is going to

    play and if tight end Jerramy Stevens is back from a knee injury. Stevens’

    return could open the middle for the Seahawks making wide receivers

    Darrell Jackson and Deion Branch even more dangerous. SEATTLE 25-19.

    *Oakland over Arizona by 1

    We all know how bad the Raiders are.Art Shell does a great impersonation

    of a statue, Randy Moss is apathetic and Jerry Porter wasted. The Raiders

    have been nothing but a black hole for bettors. However, this is a tough

    spot for Arizona. The Cardinals’ strength is passing. The Raiders, however,

    actually rated second in pass defense through Week 5.This would be Matt

    Leinart first road start – provided he survives the Bears this past Monday

    night.Traveling on a short week is bad enough, but it’s made doubly worse

    following a game against the physical Bears. Edgerrin James entered

    Monday’s game averaging just 3.1 yards per rush with a long run of 14

    yards.The Cards may also be without star WR Larry Fitzgerald (check status).

    OAKLAND 21-20.

    *Dallas over New York Giants by 3 (Monday)

    New York’s murderous schedule continues with this Monday night road

    game at Dallas. It’s the Giants’ fourth away game in six weeks.The Giants

    have met five teams with a combined mark of 18-9 so they certainly are battled-

    tested. They also have the pass-rushers to take advantage of Drew

    Bledsoe’s lack of mobility.Tiki Barber has yet to score a touchdown this season,

    but is one of the top all-purpose backs in the NFL.Terrell Owens is sure

    to hijack a lot of the publicity.The key is if the Giants’ vulnerable secondary

    can keep him from doing any dances. Note to totals players, five of the

    last six in the series have gone under at Dallas. DALLAS 23-20.

    OVER/UNDER

    **UNDER: Pittsburgh at Atlanta – The Falcons have held three of

    their five foes to 10 points or less, but Michael Vick is completing only 50

    percent of his throws, averaging less than six yards per attempt.

    OVER: Washington at Indianapolis – Peyton Manning should have

    lots of time to throw, while the Redskins have skill-position players to take

    advantage of a soft defense.

    UNDER: Philadelphia at Tampa Bay – Philly’s defense is going to

    cause problems for Bruce Gradkowski while the Bucs’ veteran defense can

    slow one-dimensional offenses at home.

    DOC S FREE PICK

    Pick. #112 Take Atlanta +1 ½ over Pittsburgh (Sunday 1:00 pm CBS) The champs recorded a home victory last week against a terrible team and now everyone thinks they are back. Except me, they are not the type of team to be laying wood against a quality team on the road. The Falcons had their hick-up last week and realize how important this game is playing inside the dome. Michael Vick is the best athlete on the field and will beat the Steelers with his legs. Pittsburgh is having trouble throwing the ball downfield for distance and Hines Ward cannot beat Atlanta lone with his possession receptions. ATL 21, Pittsburgh 17

    Playbook (NFL) -

    5* BEST BET

    Philadelphia over TAMPA BAY by 14

    Before playing the Saints last week, the Eagles were 22-10 SU

    in their last 32 non-division road games with 21 covers in the

    mix, including a sparkling 9-3 ATS log in their last 12. Tampa is

    struggling this season, winning on the fi nal play of the game

    for the fi rst time last week against the defenseless Bengals.

    Do the Eagles remember the home loss to Tampa in the 2002

    playoffs and 17-0 home loss to Bucs to open the 2003 season?

    Maybe. We do know Philly head coach Andy Reid is 17-6 ATS

    away off a loss in his NFL career, including 8-1 ATS off a SU

    favorite loss (5-0 ATS when favored). Pay Day in the Bay.

    4* BEST BET

    KANSAS CITY over San Diego by 6

    Despite San Diego's road success over the last few years, the

    Chargers have never viewed Kansas City as their favorite road

    trip. One SU & ATS win in the last nine visits to the Barbecue

    Pit is all San Diego could manage. This trip won't be any

    easier. With Trent Green back (check status) and the Chiefs

    playing Herm Edwards defense, the Chargers better pack their

    lunches. Disparate results from last week lend great value to

    the host. KC's 9-1 ATS home dog log against foes off back-toback

    SUATS wins doesn't hurt, either. Bolts blow a fuse.

    3* BEST BET

    INDIANAPOLIS over Washington by 1

    Everyone agrees that the Colt rush defense is its Achilles heel

    but no one on the Colt staff seems to have the answer. Enter

    Washington, a strong running team with a good enough

    defense to keep Peyton Manning in check and a home-run

    hitting wide receiver to keep the Colts from stacking against

    the run. Indy doesn't lose many home games, we know that,

    but this number is simply a little too high for our tastes. It's not

    often you fi nd a double-digit NFL dog that was a double-digit

    favorite the previous week (they are 7-2 ATS since 1980). With

    only one of the Colts' fi ve wins by more than seven points this

    season, and Washington wounded after last week's shocker

    against Tennessee, the points become the play here today.

    Jacksonville over HOUSTON by 8

    With one win in their last 15 tries (a 21-0 win at Jacksonville in

    2004) against winning teams, the Texans won't be at the top of

    our list this week. The well-rested Jags have also held four of their

    fi ve foes to season low yards this season. But, Jack is a lowly 1-9-1

    ATS as road chalk off a non-division home win and 1-6 ATS in its

    last seven tries as October favorites into revenge. No thanks.

    New England over BUFFALO by 6

    New England has pretty much owned the Bills. The Pats are 11-1

    SU in the last 12 meetings and a phenomenal 16-3-1 ATS in the

    second meeting of the season over the last two decades (beat

    Buffi e in season opener this year). Forget revenge. Division home

    teams with revenge against the Patriots have covered once in the

    last eight opportunities. Still, we think the gap is closing between

    these two AFC East rivals and, despite the Pats' 9-0-1 ATS mark in

    division games before back-to-back non-division contests, we are

    just a bit hesitant to lay points in this situation.

    Pittsburgh over ATLANTA by 3

    Despite starting this season with losses at Jacksonville and at San

    Diego, Pittsburgh remains the premier road team in the NFL.

    The Steelers are 16-4 SU in their last 20, including 7-2 ATS as an

    underdog (check line). Atlanta is 4-18 at home off a home game,

    including 1-12 ATS versus a foe off a win and 1-10 ATS as a dog.

    Worse yet, in their NFL history, the Falcons are 1-11-1 SU all-time

    against the Black and Gold.

    MIAMI over Green Bay by 6

    It's sad for us to see Brett Favre struggle like he has but, to his and

    his team's credit, the Packers are still playing hard. That could be

    enough to get the cover against a Miami team who is a woeful 1-11

    ATS in its last dozen tries as home favorites of -3 or more. Miami's

    defense, however, is in the top fi ve in the league. Green Bay's

    is better than only Houston's. Dolphin receivers dropped seven

    crucial passes in last week's loss to the Jets as this team continues

    to shoot itself in the foot. Amputation may be in the offi ng.

    NY JETS over Detroit by 1

    Here we go again with the Lions on the road. Five wins in their

    last 43 trips is the what the Lions have managed since the start of

    the 2001 season and, with the plethora of injuries at key positions

    suffered recently, they don't fi gure to improve that awful road

    record. Nevertheless, the Jets don't rebound well after playing

    Miami (0-6 ATS last six) and, in their last three tries as a favorite

    against NFC teams, they lost all three outright. Surprisingly, the

    Lions owns the better rushing stats.

    Carolina over CINCINNATI by 3

    Going against one of the best dogs in the NFL (Carolina 20-4 ATS

    last 24) with a superior defense is not something we're in the habit

    of doing and we're not doing it here. Carolina started slowly this

    season but has improved every week. They are 4-0 SU with star

    WR Steve Smith in the lineup this season. Cincinnati started fast

    but is slipping. Take the points.

    Denver over CLEVELAND by 6

    The Broncos rarely lose to losing teams. With the exception of

    season openers where nobody is a winner or a loser, the Broncos

    are 21-5 SU in their last 26 against sub .500 clubs. That makes

    things tough for the Browns because Denver is 84-9 ATS in its

    last 93 SU road wins. Still, Cleveland showed its mettle against a

    similar team (Baltimore) on this fi eld earlier and the Browns are 7-2

    ATS in their last nine against non-division AFC foes. We think the

    Broncos could possibly be more focused on their next two games

    (Colts and Steelers) than they might be here today.

    SEATTLE over Minnesota by 7

    The Vikings had an extra week to prepare for the Seattle offense

    but their history against this division is terrible. They are 0-6 SU in

    their last six on the road against NFC West and 0-10 ATS in their last

    ten. Seattle, though, has just one cover in its last nine tries against

    rested teams. One thing's for sure, Minnesota will need more than

    one TD, its average production this season, to cover this.

    OAKLAND over Arizona by 1

    Although Oakland is a perfect 0-9 ATS in its last nine as home dogs

    and 3-19-1 ATS in its last 23 games following a division road game,

    we're not going to hurry to the Arizona window. The Cardinals

    have one cover in their last seven tries as road chalk and just three

    wins in their last 31 road games with only eight covers. Sooner or

    later, Oakland is going to break through with a win...

    Monday, October 23rd

    DALLAS over NY Giants by 3

    In one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, it is essential that you

    protect your home fi eld, particularly in division games, and Dallas

    has the numbers to do just that. The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS at home

    with revenge in October and 8-2 ATS at home off a non-conference

    game. The rejuvenated G-Men are 7-1 ATS on the road in October

    off back-to-back wins and covers. But this game is about more

    than numbers. Both teams have to win to stay in step within the

    division. We're still looking for a solid edge.

    Game: Carolina Panthers @ Cincinnati Bengals on Oct 22, 2006 1:00PM

    Prediction: Carolina Panthers

    Reason: My eyebrows always are raised when I see Carolina in a ‘dog spot. Carolina is 18-3 (85 percent) as an underdog. They are 4-0 straight-up since Steve Smith returned to the lineup. I see the Panthers covering this game, too.

    The Bengals can’t stop the run. They have trouble with well-coached, physical teams. The Panthers fit this description plus they have game-breaking Steve Smith on the flanks. Smith is back to his devastating form of last year now that he’s recovered from a nagging hamstring injury. Thanks to Smith, Jake Delhomme is coming off a career-high 365 yards passing against a tough Ravens defense. DeShaun Foster should also be able to run on the Bengals, who surrendered 231 yards rushing to the Patriots. Injuries and suspensions have made the Bengals vulnerable at linebacker.

    Cincy needs to control Carolina’s front seven. But the Bengals have serious offensive line concerns with their center and left tackle out. Julius Peppers has eight sacks and is playing better than any defensive lineman in the NFL. Rudi Johnson didn’t find any running room last week against Tampa Bay. It doesn’t get better for him here either.

    It’s not just running. The Bengals also are having trouble protecting Carson Palmer. He’s been sacked 17 times in five games. Cincy is just 3-8 against the spread when laying points at home

    40 DIME

    Dallas Cowboys -

    Only Lay 3. If your man has 3 1/2, you spend the xtra money and buy the hook.

    Don't you EVER, and I mean EVER, lose buy the hook.

    Quick note. Just sharing gut level to all of those people who are going to war with me everyday. Not whining, just stating the obvious.

    The 1-2-1 Sunday in a blink of an eye could have and should have been 3-1. Indy made it a winning day but the Steelers and the Panthers cost me. I couldn't have been more on the right side of both of those games.

    Steelers fumble a punt on their own 21 to set up one score for Atlanta. Rothliesberger fumbles on his own 23 setting up anothe score for the Falcons and Willie Parker fumbles on his own 39 setting up another score. Disgusting. 21 points off 3 Steelers fumbles.

    Carolina has 1st and Goal at the Cincy 10 yard line with over 4 mintues to go and Delhome throws a pick on 3rd down and goal in the end zone. All Pro QB my butt.

    So, as you can see, just like Saturday, the breaks went against me. What all this tells me is I am right there in my opinion and it's about to turn. I will keep getting on the right side of these games and the winning will follow.

    Again, won Thursday, Friday and Sunday. 3 Of 4 Winning Days good for +33 Dimes going 3-1 with Best Bets. Oh, as you can see, it could have been so much more and trust me, it will be.

    Close people. Close. If you stay right here you will be rewarded handsomely. That is all I wanted to share with you.

    DALLAS

    Dallas is the real deal and will shredd this imposter of a defense called the New York Giants.

    Seriously, this line should be Dallas -7. Just because New York beat up on the Redskins at home and the Falcons on the road that this line is 3.

    In their 3 road games this year, this so called Giants defense has been shredded. I mean shredded.

    At Philly, they gave up 107 on the ground and 344 in the air to McNabb and the Eagles in a 30-24 gift wrapped win from Philly.

    At Seattle, they gave up 106 on the ground and 227 in the air of a 42-30 loss that was more of a blowout than that final score would lead you to believe.

    At Atlanta, they gave up 226 on the ground and 106 in the air in the 27-14 win.

    Bill Parcells is too good a coach to not have a game plan that will exploit the weaknesses of this Giants defense and he has the weapons in which to do it with Julius Jones, Glenn and Terrell Owens.

    He has a homefield advantage that tonight will be to great for this Giants team to overcome.

    Dallas has had only two home games this year. They drilled the Redskins 27-10 and hammered the Texans 34-6.

    If I have said it once, I will say it again. I don't trust Eli Manning against a good defense anytime, anyplace. Simple as that.

    This is a great spot for the Cowboys to hammer this Giants team much the way the Seahawks did. Dallas is flat out the better team. Simple as that.

    In their two losses this year, the Jags caught them on opening day in J'ville and they had the Eagles game in their hands but a pair of breakdowns cost them dearly in Philly.

    The Cowboys defense will stop Barber and force Manning to beat them with his brain and his arm. I'm sorry, as mentioned above, on the road I don't trust either.

    Lay this number with confidence and watch the better team, with the better coach, at home, handle the Giants and pull away in the 2nd half.

    When the smoke clears, the Cowboys win this game going away.

    FINAL SCORE: Dallas 31-17 over New York

    *NY Giants 21 - DALLAS 20--N.Y. (7 sacks at Atlanta) found its pass rush last week (only 5 going into the Atlanta game), the essential ingredient to discombobulating Drew Bledsoe. And G-Men need less help from their defense these says with the offense so well balanced with Eli, Tiki, Plaxico and Shockey all among the league's best at their positions. "T.O." (3 TDC last week) a positive force again, but upset quite possible with Giants playing well. CABLE TV--ESPN

    *Dallas over New York Giants by 3 (Monday)

    New York’s murderous schedule continues with this Monday night road

    game at Dallas. It’s the Giants’ fourth away game in six weeks.The Giants

    have met five teams with a combined mark of 18-9 so they certainly are battled-

    tested. They also have the pass-rushers to take advantage of Drew

    Bledsoe’s lack of mobility.Tiki Barber has yet to score a touchdown this season,

    but is one of the top all-purpose backs in the NFL.Terrell Owens is sure

    to hijack a lot of the publicity.The key is if the Giants’ vulnerable secondary

    can keep him from doing any dances. Note to totals players, five of the

    last six in the series have gone under at Dallas. DALLAS 23-20.

    MONDAY, OCTOBER 23

    *DALLAS over NY GIANTS by 2

    Eli Manning continues to make early-game errors. Twice already, the Giants have come all

    the way back from them. But it was Tiki Barber who used the most energy to pull the Giants

    from behind last Sunday at Atlanta. He would certainly figure as a Giants’ game-plan key

    here in a big NFC East clash, but will be running on the road for the second straight Sunday,

    against a quicker defense this time than either Washington or Atlanta. Look for a lesser outing

    from Barber, but not a bad one, with slightly fewer overall gains being strung out of

    bounds. This lengthens the game and will probably create a back-and-forth offensive show

    as Dallas’ offensive balance forces the Giants’ defense to be less aggressive than they have

    been in their last two wins. Seven sacks on Michael Vick last week doesn’t have to translate

    into seven sacks on Drew Bledsoe in this game, especially if Dallas is not playing from

    behind. Any team that allows 200 rushing yards like the Giants did last week, and wins, is

    either lucky, or good. Or both. But the jury is still out, and Dallas’ Yards Per Point of 12.3 says

    that the Cowboys are the most efficient overall scoring machine the Giants have faced so far

    – more efficient than Philly or Indianapolis. DALLAS, 26-24.

    DALLAS over NY Giants by 3

    In one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, it is essential that you

    protect your home fi eld, particularly in division games, and Dallas

    has the numbers to do just that. The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS at home

    with revenge in October and 8-2 ATS at home off a non-conference

    game. The rejuvenated G-Men are 7-1 ATS on the road in October

    off back-to-back wins and covers. But this game is about more

    than numbers. Both teams have to win to stay in step within the

    division. We're still looking for a solid edge.

    Monday, October 23rd

    3* DALLAS... (-3) The Giants (3-2 SU/3-2 ATS) pulled off the mild upset last week with a 27-14 road win in Atlanta as +3 point underdogs. Tiki Barber ran for 185 yards and Eli Manning hit Jeremy Shockey with a pair of touchdown passes to lead the Giants to a come-from-behind win. Manning ended 17-of-30 for 180 yards with two interceptions for New York, which has won two straight to go above the .500 mark for the first time this season. Barber also had 42 receiving yards to go over the 200-yard mark in total offense, and Shockey ended with 55 yards on six catches for the Giants, who rallied from a 14-3 second-half deficit to beat the Falcons for the first time in four tries. Barber did much of the damage, breaking off nine runs of at least 12 yards against a defense that was allowing just 69.3 rushing yards per game, second-best in the league. New York scored the final 24 points of the game, shredding a banged-up defense that had given up only one touchdown all season. NY had a 439-377 edge in total offense, a 28-16 edge in FD's and nearly a nine minute edge on the clock, in addition to sacking Atlanta QB Michael Vick seven times. Dallas (3-2 SU/3-2 ATS) had no problem last week with Houston as the knocked off the Texans 34-6 as -13 point home chalks. Terrell Owens finished with five catches for 45 yards with three touchdowns and QB Drew Bledsoe went 17-for-28 with 168 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys, who bounced back from a 38-24 loss at Philadelphia the previous week. Bledsoe's first touchdown pass was the 250th of his career and he became just the 12th player in NFL history to reach that plateau. Julius Jones finished with 106 yards on 22 carries, his third straight 100- yard game, and backup QB Tony Romo had his first pass completion and first touchdown pass for Dallas, which has won three of its last four games. Dallas ended with edges in offense (354-232), FD's (21-12) and won the turnover situation 3-0. The Giants haven't been very successful when playing on Monday Night's, going 2-9 ATS and they are also 10-19 ATS when hitting the road in Monday Night affairs. On the other side of the coin, Dallas is 10-4 SU and ATS when hosting the Giants and the Cowboys have the superior defense. Dallas

    DALLAS (-3.5) 24 NY Giants 17

    05:30 PM Pacific Time Monday, Oct-23 - Stats Matchup

    The Giants have been a more impressive team than Dallas so far this season with both teams equally good defensively and New York much better offensively. The Giants have a well balanced attack that has averaged 6.2 yards per play in 5 games against teams that would combine to allow 4.9 yppl to an average team. Dallas, meanwhile, has averaged only 5.2 yppl against teams that would allow 5.2 yppl to an average team and they’ve averaged only 4.6 yppl in two games against better than average defensive teams Jacksonville and Philadelphia. The Giants are 0.6 yppl better than average defensively (5.0 yppl allowed to teams that would average 5.6 yppl), which is the same rating as a Cowboys’ defense that has yielded 4.8 yppl to teams that would combine to average 5.4 yppl against an average team. Dallas does have an advantage in projected turnovers and a 1.9 points advantage in special teams, but my math model favors New York by ½ a point in this game. It’s unfortunate that the math favors the Giants because the technical analysis strongly favors the Cowboys. Dallas applies to a 100-43-4 ATS Monday night situation that is 2-0 ATS this season and the Cowboys also apply to a 213-127-11 ATS statistical profile indicator. The Giants, meanwhile, qualify in a negative 42-92-3 ATS road letdown situation that is based on last week’s upset win at Atlanta. The situations combine to give Dallas a 59% chance of covering at a fair line, but the Giants have a 55% chance of covering based solely on the line value (based on the historical results of my math model at similar differentials). The situations are stronger than the math in this case and I’ll favor the Cowboys to cover at home.

    The Pooch

    GIANTS VS COWBOYS

    HUGE NFC East clash tonight in Dallas as these two 3-2 teams collide for sole possession of first place in the division. Those of you who follow our Key Releases know we passed the entire NFL card this past week. While we wish we could make up for that with a strong play on tonights game, that's not going to be the case. We just don't feel we have any significant edge with either side here, or the total for that matter. You can't bet these games for the sake of betting them. That will only lead you to the poor house.

    We will offer up a 2* play however, which is our lowest rated selection.

    Our number on the game is Dallas by 6. So for this small play, we'll go with our number.

    The way the Giants started their year, it looked like they were going to have big time trouble on the defensive side of the ball. But then the last two weeks they held the Skins to 3 and the Falcons to 14. But asking them to win on the road against solid teams two consecutive weeks may be a tall order (Giants 4th road game in 6 weeks). The Cowboys have only had two other home games this year and easily disposed of the Skins and the Texans in those. So look for Dallas to stay unbeaten at home here.

    Giants 10-20 against the spread on the road on Monday Nights

    Giants 2-9 against the spread their last 11 Monday Nights

    Dallas 9-16 against the spread at home on Mondays

    5 of the last 6 in this series have gone UNDER the total

    16 of 26 in series since 1992 have gone UNDER the total

    Once again, no big play. Simply a matter of going with our number on the game which favors Dallas to cover here. Based on recent history in this series along with the Giants defense apparantly waking up as of late, the UNDER may be worth a peek as well.
