   Confidential Kick-Off!!

   11 *VANDERBILT over Wake Forest

   Late Score Forecast:

   *VANDERBILT 32 - Wake Forest 23

   Southern CKO sources report veteran, smartly-coached Vandy has been able to quickly shake off painful 25-24 come-from-ahead loss vs. rival Tennessee (FG kicker missed 3 of 4!) in preparation for "monumental" match vs. Wake Forest. After all, 'Dores become bowl eligible with their 1st non-losing season since 1982 with victory here! We like their chances. Vandy's well-balanced attack, directed by more careful QB Adams (4 TDs, no ints. last 2 games) will do damage vs. penetrable WF defense which has allowed 36 pts. or more in 3 road games in '07. And after facing a challenging trio of gifted, rifle-armed QBs in Tebow, Woodson & Ainge over past 3 weeks, swift, gang-tackling Vandy defense (just 19 ppg in 5 home games) will be prepared for Deacons less-dynamic aerial game generating fewer than 200 ypg (only 10 TDP). Moreover, 'Dores won't be fooled by Grobe's myriad of misdirection plays, having upset Deacons 24-20 in Winston-Salem in '05

   10 *UCF over Utep

   Late Score Forecast:

   *UCF 52 - Utep 24

   Hot meets cold in this game, as UCF has won 5 straight, posting a 4-1 spread mark as star RB Kevin Smith rushed for 206 ypg and 14 TDs in that streak. Contrast that success with slumping UTEP, which has exactly the reverse record (0-5 SU, 1-4 vs. the number) and has yielded 45 ppg & 528 ypg in that nosedive. The UTEP defense yields 5.0 ypc and ranks 100th against the run, so "24-K" (Smith), who leads the nation in scoring at 13.6 ppg, figures to continue his productive surge. UCF sr. QB Kyle Israel is also contributing, completing 69% of his passes in the Golden Knights last 5. It will be a raucous crowd at the new Bright House Networks Stadium, where the first 5 games have resulted in 5 of the top 8 all-time crowds for UCF home games.

   10 *RICE over Tulsa

   Late Score Forecast:

   *RICE 37 - Tulsa 38

   Realize a win here gives Tulsa a spot in the C-USA championship game, but a victory won't come easily in Houston. Few QBs (if any) are hotter than Rice triggerman Chase Clement, who's thrown for 1112 yards & 12 TDs in the last 3 games. The Owls have put up 43 ppg, and Clement and jr. WR Jarett Dillard have hooked up 33 times in that run, with Dillard catching 2 TD passes in each of the three games. Okay, so Rice doesn't play defense, but that's not exactly Tulsa's forte either. The Golden Hurricane gives up 34 ppg & ranks 104th in total defense this season, and Tulsa has had turnover issues (-8 ratio). Certainly Tulsa QB Paul Smith (3rd in the country in total offense) will do damage, but Clement will trade him TD-for-TD all the way

   10 WASHINGTON ST. over *Washington

   Late Score Forecast:

   WASHINGTON ST. 30-*Washington 24

   Admittedly, Washington State's 8-TO nightmare vs. Oregon State was bad enough to prompt a visit from Mike Wallace to see what really happened vs. Beavers. But Pac-10 sources convinced those shenanigans unlikely to occur in heated Apple Cup, where Cougs should be focused to atone for bitter 3-point home loss to U-Dub in '06 that knocked WSU out of bowl picture. Can't blame Cougar "D" for the result vs. OSU, and Bill Doba's stop unit has indeed played much better in second half of season since young 2ndary matured and platoon switched to 3-4 alignment. And no surprise if WSU QB Brink exploits burnable Husky "D" in his final game as a Coug. Meanwhile, UW unreliable as chalk (2-8 last 10 in role) with either Jake Locker or backup Carl Bonnell (just 7 of 19 vs. Cal) at QB.

   10 WASHINGTON over *Tampa Bay

   Late Score Forecast:

   WASHINGTON 20 - *Tampa Bay 13

   (Sunday, November 25)

   Don't count the Redskins out just yet! Although Washington has lost 3 of its last 4 and relinquished a pole position in the NFC wildcard race, developments in last Sunday's near-miss at Dallas indicate Redskins could still figure somewhere in the playoff mix. In particular, WR Santa Moss (9 catches vs. Cowboys) appears fully recovered from recent heel injury that limited his effectiveness the past month. And the legit deep threat Moss provides is once again giving QB Jason Campbell the confidence to look downfield after being forced to dink and rely on RB Clinton Portis' thrusts in recent weeks. Granted, Tampa Bay opening up some daylight in soft NFC South, but Buc attack remains somewhat limited with young OL often struggling to provide QB Garcia proper pass protection.

   TOTALS: OVER (51) in the Houston-Cleveland game--Some way, some how (Josh Cribbs' returns are helping), Cleveland has found a way to go "over" 9-0-1 TY!...UNDER (41) in the Minnesota-N.Y. Giants game--Giants' back seven improving; Vikes much prefer the overland route.

   HONORABLE MENTION (Nine-Rated Games): CINCINNATI (-20) at Syracuse...Bearcats, with their takeaway defense and much-improved offense, too much for limited, downtrodden Syracuse...MEMPHIS (-8) vs. Smu--Tigers have come out of nowhere to enter bowl picture; Mustangs' defense has too little rush, way too little coverage to cool down hot Memphis QB Hankins...NORTHERN ILLINOIS (+8) over Ball State--Prideful Northern still tough to beat in DeKalb despite slew of early-season injuries...TEMPLE (+11) at Western Michigan--Slowly ascending Owls enjoying being back in the MAC, where they're 5-1 vs. the spread in 2007...NEW YORK GIANTS (-7) vs. Minnesota--Somewhere along the line, the Vikings' limited QBing is likely to fail under the pressure of the G-men's pass-rushers.

   THE GOLDSHEET

   THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22

   Green Bay 26 - DETROIT 17--Can history of 45 years ago repeat itself, when Detroit exposed a then-undefeated, Vince Lombardi G.B. team as mere mortals in a 26-14 Thanksgiving win? Well, unless Alex Karras, Roger Brown, Darris McCord, and Joe Schmidt are willing to put on the pads and harass Brett Favre as they did Bart Starr (12 sacks!) in '62, we're not sure. With Lions gaining only a few inches per carry the last two weeks, doubt Detroit can exploit recent Pack softness vs. run. Emergence of ex-Domer RB Ryan Grant completing the hot Packers' (13-1 SU last 14; 11-2-1 vs. spread) offensive puzzle. TV-FOX

   (06-G. Bay 31-DET. 24...D.23-18 D.23/105 G.27/60 G.25/36/0/340 D.25/40/1/319 G.2 D.0)

   (06-G. BAY 17-Det. 9...G.19-10 G.32/139 D.20/58 G.20/37/3/164 D.16/26/2/84 G.1 D.1)

   (06-Green Bay +6' 31-24, GREEN BAY -5' 17-9...SR: Green Bay 84-64-7)

   DALLAS 37 - NY Jets 16--Yes, N.Y. "dug in" last week, catching the high-flying Steelers a bit unaware. But now that the Jets are back out on the road, on short rest, vs. the volatile Dallas attack, doubt they can handle the "Romo to T.O. Show," which has now produced 12 TD connections this season. Cowboys (9-1 SU, 7-3 vs. spread; 8-2 "over") having lots of fun, while 2-8 N.Y. investing in the future with QB Clemens and trying to hold on in 2007 the best they can. TV--CBS

   (03-Dallas +3 17-6...SR: Dallas 6-2)

   *Indianapolis 26 - ATLANTA 10--The presence of Byron Leftwich (3 sacks, 2 ints., 2 fumbles last week) or Joey Harrington in this game is akin to George Chuvalo subbing for Joe Frazier in the Thrilla in Manila, as the NFL Network originally envisioned this as a marquee matchup between Peyton Manning & Michael Vick. So it goes. Expect a lower-scoring affair, especially with Indy "O" slumping and Marvin Harrison's status still a ?, and with Colt defense now the premier platoon on field. "Unders" prevalent lately both ways (Indy "under" 10-4 last 14; Atl. "under" 18-7-1 since LY). TV--NFL NETWORK

   (03-INDIANAPOLIS -7' 38-7...SR: Indianapolis 12-1)

   SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25

   Denver 20 - CHICAGO 17--With the Bears just as inconsistent on defense, at RB, and in their OL as they are at QB, will side with quicker Denver, which is capable of throwing some speedy pass rushers and tight coverage at Rex Grossman (will Lovie turn back to Griese?). Even with its own myriad problems, young Broncos now have lots of valuable experience, with several (DE Dumervil, WR Marshall) becoming solid contributors. (03-Chicago +10' 19-10...SR: EVEN 6-6)

   Tennessee 27 - CINCINNATI 20--Because Tennessee takes its rushing game (No. 4 in NFL prior to Monday nighter in Denver) and defense (No. 2) on the road, Titans have become a "tough out" as a visitor (6-1 last 7 SU prior to Bronco game). And defense is certainly not the strong suit of the banged-up Bengals (31st overall; 27th vs. the run thru Week 10). Carson Palmer, betrayed by his OL & RBs, suffered four ints. last week. Vince Young (only 4 TDP, but 10 ints. prior to MNF) struggling somewhat, but note Cincy only 1-8 last 9 if home dog.

   (05-Cincinnati -3 31-23...SR: Tennessee 38-31-1)

   JACKSONVILLE 16 - Buffalo 13--David Garrard returned with success last week vs. S.D., with two TDP, no sacks, and no interceptions (none for season so far). Meanwhile, the Bills got seriously killed to death by the Pats last week. But, given the nature of the NFL, no surprise to see them put up a stubborn performance, especially if Marshawn Lynch (751 YR) back from sprained ankle. Bills 14-5 last 19 as dog.

   (06-BUF. 27-Jack. 24...J.19-13 J.35/207 B.23/72 B.21/28/1/169 J.16/22/0/116 B.0 J.1)

   (06-BUFFALO +3 27-24...SR: Buffalo 4-3)

   Oakland 19 - KANSAS CITY 13--There aren't many teams against whom Oakland enjoys a QB edge these days. But with Brodie Croyle virtually getting the job by default in K.C., this might be one of those spots. Daunte Culpepper showed there's plenty of life left in his arm at Minnesota (344 YP), while Justin Fargas (578 YR in 2007) adding speed on the ground. Chiefs' complementary weapons not inspiring much confidence these days, especially with Larry Johnson still hurting and Priest Holmes not the same RB he was a few years ago. PK Janikowski (5 FGs last week) the Raiders' best weapon lately, but that's enough to get Oakland over the hump in this one.

   (07-K. City 12-OAK. 10...K.14-10 K.32/126 O.24/55 O.18/29/1/213 K.16/32/1/164 K.0 O.1)

   (07-K. City +2' 12-10; 06-K. CITY -9 17-13, K. City -7 20-9...SR: Kansas City 52-43-2)

   Houston 34 - CLEVELAND 27--Before going any further, must note that Cleveland has gone "over" 9-0-1 in '07! And with Matt Schaub back at the controls for Houston, we'll get the "over" recommendation out of the way first. But Browns also going "over" because of numerous defensive shortcomings, with rush "D" a season-long sieve and DL unable to generate any consistent pressure on opposing QBs (Cleve. 29th in sacks), such that even stagnant Ravens exploited them last week. With Schaub and star WR Andre Johnson (73-yard TDC vs. Saints) back in the lineup, Texan offense can strike vertically.

   (06-HOU. 14-Cleve. 6...C.19-11 C.28/127 H.26/94 C.25/34/1/179 H.9/15/1/83 H.0 C.2)

   (06-HOUSTON -5 14-6...SR: EVEN 2-2)

   Seattle 23 - ST. LOUIS 16--Seattle's Oct. 21 home victory over the injury-depleted St. Louis was a virtual walkover, with Seahawks collecting 7 sacks and 5 takeaways. Yes, Rams have recorded back-to-back road wins, but over fading New Orleans and the punchless 49ers. Meanwhile, Seattle QB Hasselbeck (337 YP) was intellectually near the top of his game last week vs. the Bears, and the quickness of RB Maurice Morris (87 YR) a welcome addition. Seahawk WR corps back intact, while St. Louis (6 sacks last week) still crippled up front on offense.

   (07-SEA. 33-St. Lou. 6...Se.19-15 Se.32/100 St.17/53 Se.18/35/1/189 St.21/40/3/168 Se.0 St.2)

   (07-SEATTLE -8 33-6; 06-Seattle -3 30-28, SEATTLE -3' 24-22...SR: St. Louis 10-9)

   NY GIANTS 24 - Minnesota 13--With veteran Chester Taylor (career-best 164 YR vs. Oakland) available, Minny would be foolish to rush prize property Adrian Peterson and his sprained knee ligament back into action. But the minimal QBing of the Vikes (53% completions, only 5 TDP) is likely to leave them vulnerable to the N.Y. pass rushers (34 sacks). And pass defense has been Minnesota's weakness for two years. Can Eli Manning avoid the second-half-of-the-season slips that have hampered the Giants' in recent years? (05-Minnesota +9 24-21...SR: Minnesota 11-10)

   New Orleans 27 - CAROLINA 20--The Panthers are mysteriously frustrating their fans TY, going 0-4 SU & vs. the spread in Charlotte. Can Vinny Testaverde (recently turned 44) or sore-spined David Carr snap them out of that slump vs. revenged-minded N.O. and its quick-hitting passing attack? Such is not likely, especially with WR Steve Smith (out last week due to shin injury) sidelined and Julius Peppers (only 2½ sacks) having virtually disappeared from NFL highlights TY. Erratic Saints & Drew Brees likely to produce more points.

   (07-Car. 16-N. ORL. 13...N.23-12 N.28/89 C.28/88 N.29/47/2/252 C.11/19/1/155 C.0 N.0)

   Washington 16 - TAMPA BAY 14--Buccaneers improved, but their close-to-the-vest offense should play right into the hands of Washington, which usually doesn't mind grind-'em-out affairs. Emerging QB Jason Campbell has more quality targets (WRs Moss, Randle El & McCardell, and H-back Cooley) than does T.B.'s Garcia. With some new quickness on the Bucs' defense, T.B. has gone "under" 10 of last 15 overall.

   (06-T. BAY 20-Wash. 17...T.19-15 T.42/181 W.20/64 W.19/34/0/188 T.14/21/1/178 T.1 W.1)

   (06-TAMPA BAY -3 20-17...SR: EVEN 8-8)

   UNDER THE TOTAL ARIZONA 22 - San Francisco 6--Even with the "price" rising, only one way to go with the side here until S.F. (0-8 SU, 1-7 vs. spread last can find some punch. That's not likely to happen vs. 2007 NFC West nouveau contender Arizona (3-1 SU & vs. spread at home TY), which is enjoying being in the race. 49er defense (6 sacks last week) still hustling, but S.F. scoring just 9 ppg its last 8. Kurt Warner more careful in HC Whisenhunt's offense, which is keeping defenses honest with the run.

   (07-S. FRAN. 20-Ariz. 17...A.20-16 A.38/161 S.22/92 S.15/31/0/102 A.14/28/2/100 S.1 A.0)

   SAN DIEGO 27 - Baltimore 12--Despite their many 2007 disappointments, the Norv Turner Chargers have been a formidable home team (4-1 vs. the spread). Meanwhile, the Ravens have fought hard this year, but not particularly well (1-9 vs. the spread!). Subbing for Steve McNair last week, Kyle Boller suffered 6 sacks, 1 fumble, and 2 ints., one of them returned for a 100-yard TD! That means Shawne Merriman (5½ sacks) and CB Antonio Cromartie (6 ints.) will be licking their chops.

   (06-BALT. 16-S. Diego 13...B.14-13 S.41/150 B.21/56 B.17/30/2/150 S.13/23/1/134 B.1 S.0)

   (06-BALTIMORE +2 16-13...SR: Baltimore 3-2)

   *NEW ENGLAND 45 - Philadelphia 17--Rematch of the Super Bowl three seasons ago. However, with T.O. having taken his act to Dallas and Donovan McNabb (check ankle injury) in decline, it's tough to expect Philly to keep pace with the loaded 2007 Patriots, especially with Randy Moss (16 TDC) having turned into a dynamic model citizen and the inordinately precise Tom Brady (38 TDs, only 4 ints.!) apparently on the all-time QB roll. They again please their N.E. fans while the Pats' LBs keep Brian Westbrook well under control. TV--NBC

   (04-N. Eng. -7 24-21 (Super Bowl XXXIX at Jacksonville)...SR: Philadelphia 6-4)

   MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26

   *PITTSBURGH 35 - Miami 10--Willie Parker (925 YR) is making no secret of the fact he's after the rushing title now that Adrian Peterson's injury has opened the door. And Ben Roethlisberger (23 TDs, only 8 ints.) is close to his Super Bowl form after LY's injuries. The Dolphins might activate Ricky Williams for this game. But Williams or no, rookie QB John Beck is likely to be plenty mystified by Pittsburgh's array of zone blitzes. Just a couple of turnovers might help the Steelers (4-1 vs. the spread at home) bounce back with a vengeance after last week's "soft" performance visiting the Jets. CABLE TV--ESPN

   *ARZIONA STATE 24 - Southern Cal 20--Acknowledge Pete Carroll's 22-0 SU record in November since taking over at SC in '01. But by this stage of campaign, we've seen enough of this Trojan edition not to compare it with the high-powered Palmer/Leinart/Bush offensive machines from earlier in decade (Troy has exceeded 27 points just once in last 7 games). If anything, ASU's efforts more impressive this season, and as long as QB Carpenter's sore thumb properly healed after "bye" week, Sun Devils get closer to coveted BCS berth. CABLE TV--ESPN

   Central Michigan 27 - AKRON 16--CMU has a significant QB edge, as Chips' Dan LeFevour is 9th in the country in total offense, while Zip counterpart Chris Jaquemain has completed just 39% in his last 4 games with 7 ints. & just 4 TD passes. CMU HC Butch Jones undoubtedly would like his team to get back on winning track in preparation for upcoming MAC title game against Miami-Ohio.

It must be noted, however, that the thin, rebuilding Husker defense is giving up a lofty 35.5 ppg, 8 points more than host Colorado. Both teams are 5-6 and need this one for bowl eligibility.

   MISSISSIPPI STATE 35 - Mississippi 21--In the "Egg Bowl," prefer to lay single digits with resurgent, bowl-bound MSU squad that had season-high 501 yds. in 45-31 setback at Arkansas. With Bulldogs emerging frosh QB Carroll (421 YP, but 4 ints. vs. Hogs) cleaning up his mistakes, look for coming State attack to repeatedly burn talent-shy Ole Miss defense (last in SEC in scoring & rush "D"). Meanwhile, floundering Rebels in danger of 1st winless SEC season since '92, and embroiled HC Orgeron's late-season QB shuffling not a positive.

Then again, maybe it won't. CSU at least playing hard down stretch, with RB G. Johnson (5.5 ypc L6 games) emerging as a force.

However, Falcon QB Sheehan (64%, 20 TD passes) and his array of weapons (WR Barnes 72 catches; "slash" back Turner 250 YR, 4 TDs rushing, 2 TD passes & 13 recs. last 3 games) will do a lot of damage facing Toledo defense yielding the most points in the country.

Arkansas fighting especially hard for embattled, well-liked HC Nutt, while top-ranked LSU compelled to stay healthy with SEC title game on horizon.

Colt McCoy is seeking redemption after he played hurt in LY's game and tossed 3 interceptions. And the speedy Jamaal Charles has ignited the UT ground assault with 644 YR in just the last three games.

And conference scouts remain a bit skeptical about veteran Warrior "D" that has lacked some of the edge under 1st-year d.c. McMackin it played with under Jerry Glanville the last few years.

   South Florida 28 - PITTSBURGH 13--Panthers have been righteous dog TY, covering 4 of 5 when getting points. But compelled to back profitable Bulls (13-6 vs. spread last 19 on board). Touted frosh RB Ford (274 YR & 4 TDs last 2 games; originally signed with Alabama) giving versatile soph QB Grothe greater ground support recently. Conversely, Pitt frosh RB McCoy unlikely to make much headway against soph DE Selvie (nation-leading 30½ tackles for loss!) & speedy South Florida defense.

Doubt they'll be derailed at Morgantown. But no big surprise if visiting Huskies (covered 7 of last able to hang inside roomy impost. They have a productive rushing attack & an underrated defense, and well-coached UConn (only 11 turnovers TY) takes care of rock.

   UCF 52 - Utep 24--Sure, Miners have some offensive firepower. But not nearly enough to compensate for their awful defense. Plummeting UTEP has lost 5 straight (1-4 vs. spread), permitting 45 ppg during that recent tailspin. A berth in C-USA title game is within Knights' grasp. They'll ride star jr. TB Kevin Smith (1945 YR & league-record 25 TDs) to easy win. (FIRST MEETING)

   Missouri 34 - Kansas 31--Remarkable Kansas (11-0 SU, 10-0 vs. the spread) is on the verge of pointspread history with its season-long run. But Missouri (10-1 & 8-2) is not far behind. And the Tigers have played the tougher schedule, with jr. QB Daniel (69.3%, 30 TDs, 9 ints.) more battle-tested than Jayhawks' confident soph Reesing (63.3%, 30 TDs, 4 ints.). KU's RB McAnderson (514 YR last 4 games) is the most powerful force on the field, but Mizzou WR/KR Maclin (3 return TDs; 16 TDs overall) is the most dynamic. The Jayhawks have CB Talib and hold some statistical edges (scoring defense, TO margin, etc.), but Daniel's greater experience under pressure could be the key. (at Kansas City, MO)

   NORTH CAROLINA 33 - Duke 24--Blue Devils (dropped last 5 vs. spread) wrapping up another miserable campaign. There's a lot more optimism in Chapel Hill, and Butch Davis should lead his young Tar Heels to a 4th straight victory in series. But there are enough holes in UNC 2ndary for Duke QB Lewis (19 TDP) to go down firing.

   VANDERBILT 26 - Wake Forest 21--Although Commodores off painful, come-from-ahead 25-24 loss at Tennessee (Vandy was outscored 16-0 in 4th), still favor highly-motivated 'Dores, who'll become bowl eligible with their 1st-non losing season since '82 with victory here. WF has defeated only defenseless Duke and Navy on road TY, and doubt Deacons clever field general Skinner will find his mojo vs. an aggressive, seasoned Vandy defense (only 19 ppg in last 5 home games) that disguises its schemes well.

   (05-Vanderbilt +8' 24-20...SR: Vanderbilt 7-3)

   NORTH CAROLINA STATE 20 - Maryland 13--Winner likely headed to minor bowl, while loser will miss out on postseason. Maryland (fewer than 100 YR in 3 of last 4) having a hard time establishing ground game behind its paper-thin OL. A measured vote to N.C. State & versatile soph RB Eugene, although poor decisions by volatile jr. QB Evans (2 TDP, 5 ints. in last 2 games) could prove Wolfpack's undoing.

   Cincinnati 37 - SYRACUSE 10--First-year Bearcat HC Brian Kelly a pointspread dynamo, going 25-7-3 against line last 2+ seasons at C. Michigan & Cincy. Hard-pressed to come up with compelling reasons to support Syracuse & its floundering West Coast attack, which hasn't produced more than 2 TDs in any of last 7 games.

Like '06, 'Cocks 6-3 sr. QB Mitchell (290+ YP last 4 starts) has been steady since returning from bench. Tigers' productive triggerman Harper won't easily find open targets vs. Carolina 2ndary (SEC-best 163 ypg; 54%, 13 ints.). Also, kicking edge goes to Cocks' strong-legged PK/P Succop (29 of 37 FGs L1+Ys; 42-yd. avg.).

   Buffalo 27 - KENT STATE 19--Kent State 4th-team QB Jon Brown last week showed why he was buried on depth chart, completing just 11 of 27 passes with 0 TDs and 4 ints. at Temple. Conversely, Buffalo QB Drew Willy has completed 67% this season, and Bulls are significantly improved on defense and special teams in upwardly-mobile HC Turner Gill's second (and last?) season in Buffalo. Flash ace RB Eugene Jarvis was held to just 57 YR last week, as now defenses can stack to contain the jitterbug Jarvis as a result of Brown's passing problems.

   EAST CAROLINA 39 - Tulane 23--Green Wave RB Matt Forte powered for another 194 yards and 5 TDs (now up to 2007 YR & 22) last week vs. defenseless Rice. But ECU (allowing 3.95 ypc) is bigger and tougher up front than the Owls, and the offensively better-balanced Pirates were scoring 42 ppg in C-USA games TY until uncharacteristic 26-7 road loss at Marshall two weeks ago. (04-EAST CAROLINA -3' 27-25...SR: East Carolina 6-2)

   Tennessee 37 - KENTUCKY 28--Since SEC East frontrunner UT (wins tie-breaker with UGA) managed to escape in 25-24 come-back thriller vs. Vandy, expect error-free Vols (SEC-low 12 giveaways) to extend their 22-game win streak vs. Kentucky squad that has dropped 3 of last 4. UT's highly-efficient,untouched sr. QB Ainge (sacked only thrice in 391 attempts, 65%, 20 TDs, 5 ints.) makes a few more big plays than Wildcats slipping star passer Woodson, who failed to generate a TD in final 3 Qs of disappointing 24-13 setback at Georgia.

   OHIO 31 - Miami-Ohio 17--Rested Ohio U. and sr. star RB Kalvin McRae (162 ypg rushing & 11 rush TDs last 5 games; career 4286 YR & 48 TDs) should be highly motivated in final game at Peden Stadium. Bobcats will say goodbye to 17 seniors (14 in two-deep) against rival Miami-O. squad that has its spot in MAC Championship all locked up. RedHawk offense doesn't convert yards into points as well as it should (107th in scoring at 19 ppg), and QB Daniel Raudabaugh is coming off a 3-int. game in unimpressive 7-0 win at home against Akron. Bobcat seniors secure 6th victory & gain bowl-eligibility.

And slight edge to hot Utah (covered last 6 TY), thanks to better-balanced "O," playmaking QB B. Johnson, and "D" that's allowed just one TD (and that came after a TO vs. New Mexico) in last 14 Qs of play. Well-defined series trends (dog 9-1 last 10; visitor 12-3 last 15) further support Ute argument.

In their final home game, Tigers' trigger-happy sr. QB Hankins (1771 YP in last 5 games) & sr. RB Doss (168 YR last week) will go out with a bang against pliable Pony defense that's yielding nearly 300 ypg passing & more than 5 ypc. (DNP...SR: Memphis 1-0)

   Tulsa 38 - RICE 36--Visiting Golden Hurricane looking to sew up spot in C-USA title game. Rice's defense might be too weak to keep former mentor Graham from achieving that goal. But without a reliable ground hammer to complement star sr.

But Bruins have displayed a circle-the-wagons mentality in recent years, especially at Rose Bowl, where they're 18-5 vs. number last 23 and unbeaten vs. line last 5 as dog. Oregon "O" just not the same with Brady Leaf in at QB for the injured Dennis Dixon, and not interested laying any points with Ducks after their national title dreams evaporated in Tucson.

Auburn QB Cox's self-confidence waning again (4 ints. vs. Georgia; SEC-low 9 TDP), and his run-oriented, undynamic attack (24 pts. or fewer in 12 of past 13 vs. BCS conference foes) won't uncharacteristically erupt vs. a fired-up Bama defense.

But there are a few more difference-makers (such as RB D. Jackson & CB Franks) on Idaho side.

But believe explosive Florida (43 ppg) eventually covers impost behind super-soph Heisman hopeful Tebow (1st QB in NCAA history with at least 20 TDs both passing & rushing in same season) welcoming back versatile, speedy WR Harvin (45 grabs; missed last 2 games with sinus condition). Conversely, expect 'Noles up-and-down QB Weatherford (3 ints. in '06 tilt) to be on downer in "The Swamp," since his play-action passes rendered mostly ineffective again with stodgy ground attack stymied by UF's run-stuffing front 7 (just 99 ypg, 3.0 ypc).

   (06-Fla. 21-FLA. ST. 14...U.16-11 U.32/105 S.18/46 U.21/35/0/283 S.18/43/3/189 U.1 S.0)

   (06-Fla. -9 21-14 05-FLA. -4 34-7 04-Fla. +7 20-13...SR: Florida 30-19-2)

   OKLAHOMA 37 - Oklahoma State 27--With OU likely needing a win to clinch the Big XII South (unless Texas loses), superior defensive personnel of Sooners should get them there...but not before 60 minutes of "bedlam" have expired. OSU's offense has become unflappable (39 ppg last 5) since 6-3 soph Zac Robinson began executing the Cowboy spread with aplomb. And the OU defense continues to have periodic lapses at inopportune times. Sooners' hopes for a shot at the BCS title game now gone; check status of QB Bradford (concussion).

   (06-Okla. 27-OKLA. ST. 21...S.20-19 U.47/238 S.39/119 S.17/31/0/243 U.7/11/0/77 U.0 S.1)

   (06-Okla. -5' 27-21 05-OKLA. -19' 42-14 04-Okla. -13' 38-35...SR: Oklahoma 78-15-7)

   Nevada 33 - SAN JOSE STATE 27--Be careful before laying too many points with Nevada, which has been involved in a series of hair-raisers in '07. And SJSU a lot more competent at home (8-1 vs. line since LY), where hot QB Tafralis has passed for 300+ yards in all four games TY. But big balance edge owned by Chris Ault's Wolf Pack Pistol, featuring slamming RB Lippincott (5.6 ypc), and Nevada needs win to keep flickering bowl hopes alive.

   (06-NEVADA 23-Sjsu 7...N.25-13 N.55/230 S.27/162 N.20/28/1/178 S.10/22/1/77 N.1 S.2)

   (06-NEVADA -13 23-7 05-Nevada -3' 30-23 04-NEVADA -14 42-24...SR: Nevada 12-7-2)

   Ball State 30 - NORTHERN ILLINOIS 23--NIU hasn't quit under vet HC Joe Novak, as young team has covered last two following humiliating 70-pt. defensive "effort" against Toledo. Husky soph RB Justin Anderson has gained 128 ypg rushing in last 9 games, and QB torch has been passed from sr. Dan Nicholson to promising soph Ryan Morris (21 of 35 for 206 YP & 2 TDs last week). Ball State is 13-3 vs. the number last 16 on the road, but only two of those games were double-digit Cardinal wins.

   (06-N. Ill. 40-BALL ST. 28...N.24-21 N.41/358 B.26/78 B.29/40/0/307 N.20/27/0/252 N.1 B.1)

   (06-Niu -6' 40-28 05-Bsu +29 31-17 04-Niu -20' 38-31 (OT)...SR: Ball State 18-14-2)

   *MARSHALL 27 - Uab 19--Don't quite trust Marshall defense (447 ypg; ranks 103rd) to cover double digits against UAB HC Neil Callaway's hard-trying Blazers. Marshall QB Bernard Morris has cooled considerably in second half of season, tossing only 3 TD passes in last 4 games after throwing at least 2 in 6 straight. The previous two meetings in series have both been hotly contested.

   (06-Marshall 31-UAB 24...M.21-19 M.46/317 U.28/137 U.18/30/2/205 M.9/12/2/156 M.0 U.0)

   (06-Marshall +6 31-24 05-MARSHALL +3 20-19...SR: Marshall 2-0)

   FRESNO STATE 31 - Kansas State 25--KSU not exactly rallying down stretch, as ongoing defensive breakdowns (Big XII scouts alarmed at number of missed assignments and improper alignments) contributing mightily to late-season fade. And Fresno good enough to capitalize, especially with "bye" week providing necessary rest that key Bulldog weapons RB R. Matthews & TE Pascoe needed to get back in action. TV-ESPN

   (04-Fresno State +12' 45-21...SR: Fresno State 1-0)

   NEW MEXICO 23 - Unlv 19--Not sure what to make of UNLV announcement that HC Sanford will return in '08, as Rebs (7th straight loss) didn't exactly respond positively to the news in last week's sleepwalk at TCU. But with QB Porterie enduring a bit of a sophomore slump, low-variance UNM not offering much value itself lately (no covers last 5). Ultra-competitive recent series history suggests generous points worth considering.

   (06-N. Mex. 39-UNLV 36 (OT)...U.17-14 N.39/112 U.29/84 U.18/33/2/295 N.13/27/1/168 N.0 U.2)

   (06-Unm -2' 39-36 (OT) 05-UNM -15 24-22 04-Unm +2' 24-20...SR: New Mexico 8-6)

   Washington State 29 - WASHINGTON 27--Will Morley Safer and the 60 Minutes crew show up in Pullman to investigate Wazzu's 8-TO meltdown vs. Oregon State? Still, Bill Doba's Cougar "D" has shown enough in recent weeks to suggest it won't get run over by U-Dub RBs as did fading Cal last week. And wouldn't want to count on Husky backup QB Bonnell (just 7 of 19 vs. Golden Bears) to extend Apple Cup margin if Jake Locker unavailable again.

   (06-Wash. 35-WSU 32...S.26-14 U.31/109 S.31/102 S.32/54/0/328 U.14/27/2/271 U.0 S.1)

   (06-Wash. +8' 35-32 05-Wsu -3 26-22 04-WSU -12 28-25...SR: Washington 64-29-6)

   *WESTERN MICHIGAN 27 - Temple 23--Temple, which was 4-42 SU the last four years, last week logged it's 4th victory of 2007 against Kent State. Look for remarkable turnaround to continue as Owls catch Western Michigan possibly still celebrating its upset at Iowa. Broncos managed to avoid turnovers and played perhaps their best defensive game of the season at Kinnick Stadium against the Hawkeyes, but hard-trying 2007 Temple defense is a much better unit than the one that yielded 41 points in last year's visit to Kalamazoo. Owls' frosh RB Daryl Robinson (17 carries for 105 yds. vs. Kent) gives Temple a lift.

   (06-W. MICH. 41-Tem. 7...W.15-12 W.34/151 T.29/9 W.15/26/0/143 T.12/26/3/140 W.1 T.1)

   (06-WMU -30 41-7 05-Wmu -3' 19-16...SR: Western Michigan 5-0)

   *BOSTON COLLEGE 33 - Miami-Florida 13--Motivation a major ? for BC, which has already bagged a spot in ACC title game after last week's hard-fought win at Clemson. Want no part of money-burning Miami bunch that's just 11-24 vs. spread since start of 2005, however. Hurricanes have lost 5 of last 6 SU, as their offense is mostly inept, while their once-proud defense playing with little passion. TV--ESPN

   (06-MIAMI 17-Bos. Col. 14...10-10 M.34/66 B.25/24 M.13/26/3/181 B.17/34/1/169 M.1 B.1)

   (06-MIAMI-FLORIDA +4 17-14...SR: Miami-Florida 23-3)

   *Virginia Tech 19 - VIRGINIA 10--Winner earns spot in next week's ACC title game. Can't sell host Cavaliers short, as they have extra week of prep and a knack for pulling out close games TY (6 of UVa's 9 wins have come by total of 12 pts.!). The stout defenses figure to hold sway in this matchup, so "under" might be best percentage play. Slightly lean to visiting Tech, as its complementary QBs, pocket-passing jr. Glennon & mobile true frosh T. Taylor, have a few more weapons at their disposal.

   (06-VA. TECH 17-Va. 0...T.14-5 T.45/156 U.23/46 T.12/18/1/146 U.10/21/1/66 T.0 U.1)

   (06-TECH -17 17-0 05-Tech -7 52-14 04-TECH -3' 24-10...SR: Virginia Tech 46-37-5)

   *STANFORD 24 - Notre Dame 17--We'd bet even Digger Phelps isn't convinced last week's win vs. lowly Duke is any sort of late-season "buy" signal for ND. Despite that result, their shaky OL, lack of playmakers, and suspect "D" remain tangible negatives for Irish. Rested Stanford has at least progressed noticeably for Jim Harbaugh in '07, and Cardinal arsenal better stocked this week with return of big-play WR Sherman from 1-game suspension.

   (06-N. DAME 31-Stan. 10...N.29-14 N.39/204 S.31/72 N.27/38/0/232 S.10/18/1/154 N.0 S.0)

   (06-UND -29' 31-10 05-Und -15' 38-31 04-UND -5 23-15...SR: Notre Dame 15-6)

   *Tcu 29 - SAN DIEGO STATE 23--We're not going to argue with SDSU critics who maintain Aztecs didn't beat much in their 4 wins this season. But SDSU "D" might not be as vulnerable vs. the more-conventional TCU attack as it was vs. Air Force's hybrid shotgun/option that gained almost 4/10 of a mile in last week's blowout. Remember, Frogs have covered only once on road TY, and Aztec QB O'Donnell has the wheels to neutralize TCU's Blake/Ortiz pass-rush duo.

   (06-TCU 52-San Diego St. 0...T.30-6 T.49/275 S.24/31 T.22/26/0/349 S.11/25/2/56 T.1 S.0)

   (06-TCU -17 52-0 05-Tcu -6' 23-20...SR: TCU 2-0)

   ADDED GAMES

   SOUTHERN MISS 29 - Arkansas State 23--Host Eagles are just 1-3 SU & vs. spread last 4 at Hattiesburg. ASU's indomitable soph QB Leonard (game-winning TDP on final play of game vs. UNT last week), top-notch soph RB Arnold, and scrappy defense find ways to keep Indians hanging around.

   (05-Southern Miss -16' 31-19 (New Orleans Bowl)...SR: Southern Miss 6-3)

   *LA.-LAFAYETTE 30 - La.-Monroe 28--Monroe's upset of Alabama sets up HC Charlie Weatherbie's Warhawks for a possible letdown against rival Lafayette this week. While Monroe RB Calvin Dawson figures to get his yards against yielding Lafayette defensive front, Ragin' Cajun counterpart Tyrell Fenroy has 363 YR in Lafayette's last 3 games. Although jr. QB Desormeaux reinjured his clavicle last week, sr. backup Connor Morel keyed the victory by completing 12 of 15 passes.

   (06-Mon. 39-LAF. 20...L.24-16 M.33/173 L.41/173 M.11/18/0/244 L.22/42/3/189 M.1 L.0)

   (06-Ulm +3 39-20 05-Ull +2' 54-21 04-ULM -4 13-10...SR: La.-Monroe 21-20)

   *Florida Atlantic 30 - Florida Intl. 23--FIU losing streak now at 22 (Golden Panthers, seeking to avoid two straight winless seasons, host North Texas next week). QB Rusty Smith (21 TDP) and the Fla. Atlantic offense should win the day, but FIU now appears to have enough seasoned athletes on defense and just enough QBing (RS frosh Younger 2 TDP, 1 TDR last week) to make a game of it. (at Dolphin Stadium)

   (06-Fla. Atl. 31-Fla. Intl. 0...A.22-13 A.45/142 I.19/50 A.15/22/0/219 I.15/31/1/153 A.0 I.0)

   College Football: Rivalry Motivation

   by Scott Spreitzer

   You’ve probably heard the gambling myth that college football pointspreads get stronger as the season progresses. Once all the teams have played 10 or 11 games, there supposedly aren’t any secrets left.

   I do agree that everybody knows the teams better. So, in that sense November lines are more accurate than September lines. But, oddsmakers have shown over the years that they haven’t been able to properly capture all the emotions that go into late season football. These emotional factors are so great that they lead to some of the easiest pointspread covers of the entire season.

   In a sense, the lines are better and worse at the same time! Late season pointspreads capture the stat and personnel differences pretty well. But, they do a horrible job of factoring in the emotions properly.

   I’d argue that these lines are WORSE (thanks to faulty public perception) than those we see in September!

   Let me show you some examples from games played after Thanksgiving last season. These are obviously “late season” games if they’re after Turkey Day.

   Texas A&M (+13) beat Texas outright 12-7

   South Florida (+21) beat West Virginia outright 24-19

   South Carolina (+5) beat Clemson outright 31-28

   Wake Forest (+1) beat Maryland outright 38-24

   Purdue (+18) lost a heartbreaker to Hawaii 42-35

   UCLA (+11) beat USC outright 13-9

   Oregon State (+9) beat Hawaii outright 38-35

   Rutgers (+10) lost a heartbreaker to West Virginia 41-39

   All of those underdogs put up great performances. The list includes four dogs of more than a touchdown that won outright, and a couple of others who just missed. It also includes some very big name favorites, like USC, Texas, and West Virginia (twice). The public really took a bath in the Purdue contest.

   But don’t get the idea that late season football is only about upsets:

   Nebraska (-13) crushed Colorado 37-14

   Rutgers (-16) slaughtered Syracuse 38-7

   Louisville (-11) pounded Pittsburgh 48-24

   Boise State (-2) nailed Nevada 38-7

   Those were all double-digit covers for motivated favorites against teams who lacked competitive fire.

   You see, that’s the whole key to handicapping late season college football action. Which team is going to have competitive fire? Which team is going to be flat because they’re looking ahead to a bigger game down the road, or because they’ve already mentally finished their seasons. These edges can be worth two or even three touchdowns.

   And there’s nothing the oddsmaker can do about it! They’re trying to balance the books based on how the public is going to bet anyway. The public bets based on what they know about the teams rather than the possible influences of competitive fire. As a result, late season college football lines will ALWAYS be way off. Yet, the books continue to cash the majority of "John Q. Public's" wagers.

   Here are keys to look for when trying to find the team with competitive fire in late season games:

   Favorites who have already clinched what they need to clinch will often be flat in these late season games. They’ll be priced as champions, but they’re likely to have one of their least motivated efforts of the season. They’re thinking about a conference championship game coming up, or the bowl they’ve already clinched.

   Favorites who have something to play for, but are facing a bowl caliber opponent will often have trouble living up to expectations. They won’t necessarily be flat. But they will play a bit too nervous and conservative for their own good. Their opponents will have a ton of competitive fire because they’ll have a chance to play spoiler against a big name team. Look at how many of those upsets last year featured bowl bound underdogs. A&M beat Texas on the road. South Florida beat West Virginia on the road.

   Favorites who have a history of running up the score on weak opposition will run away and hide from non-bowl teams late in the year. The lesser teams get demoralized early in the game, and just throw in the towel. The favorites will keep piling on the points, particularly if it’s “senior day” in a home finale.

   It’s all about competitive fire. In some games you’ll uncover dogs that are ready to spring an upset and throw a monkey wrench in the BCS process. In other games, you’ll find favorites who might have a high spread covered by halftime on the way to a rout. If you look to go against distracted favorites, while backing talented underdogs, you’ll have no trouble finding these games.

   Green Bay Packers (9-1) at Detroit Lions (6-4)

   Eating habits nationwide change. I know they do in my house. We usually eat Thanksgiving dinner at 2 or 3 if we're home for it, and this year, I've not-so-subtlely pushed dinner back to 4:30ish. I'm not going to miss the first meaningful Lions game since Alex Karras menaced foes at Tiger Stadium ... and I'm not going to miss whatever it is Brett Favre's going to do next.

   Packers 23, Lions 10

   New York Jets (2-8) at Dallas Cowboys (9-1)

   The Bill Parcells Alumni Bowl. One of Parcells' last meaningful picks, Jets pass-rusher Shaun Ellis, chases the no-name Parcells installed at quarterback last year, Tony Romo. I don't like Ellis' chances to leave much of an imprint on the elusive Romo.

   Cowboys 34, Jets 13

   Indianapolis Colts (8-2) at Atlanta Falcons (3-7)

   The sleep-inducing qualities of turkey are overrated, as I learned this week on Wikipedia. There is more tryptophan in cheddar cheese than turkey. Then again, if there was caffeine in turkey we'd still be ready for a nap by about the third Falcon turnover in the third game of a food-and-Heineken Light-filled day. Poor Cris Collinsworth, by the way. Not that he has to miss Thanksgiving with his four children, but that he has to enliven this game for the NFL Network.

   Colts 30, Falcons 6

   Tennessee Titans (6-4) at Cincinnati Bengals (3-7)

   Marvin Lewis has coached 75 NFL games. Take a guess what his record is. Nine over .500? Eleven? Try one. He's 38-37, in danger this week of evening the ledger piloting one of the most disappointing teams in the league. I see him preparing for a nice little housecleaning. By the way, Vince Young threw the ball very well in Denver on Monday night. Maybe that quad strain is the best thing that could have happened to his pocket presence.

   Titans 19, Bengals 15

   Houston Texans (5-5) at Cleveland Browns (6-4)

   I half-expect Elvin Bethea to blindside Brian Sipe in this one. Somehow, Mario Williams chasing Derek Anderson (and not catching him, in my opinion) doesn't conjure up the same visions. This is a game the Browns have to have if they have designs on that sixth playoff seed.

   Browns 27, Texans 13

   Oakland Raiders (2-8) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-6)

   Chiefs have won nine straight in the series. Real killers, there. Whoa. The margins of those nine wins: 7, 3, 7, 1, 6, 4, 4, 11 and 2 points. You get that the recent history, plus Warren Sapp's apt reaming-out of the Raiders' defense, is going to make for another close one in Arrowhead.

   Chiefs 20, Raiders 16

   Seattle Seahawks (6-4) at St. Louis Rams (2-8)

   The Rams will finish 5-11, may save Scott Lenihan's job and will totally confound draftniks who want them to get in position to pick Howie Long's son to fix their defense. (It's never too early to talk draft, is it?) They also might win this game. They've scored 50 points and had 45 very welcome carries from Steven Jackson in their nice little two-game winning streak ... with both wins coming on the road. This team's not dead.

   Seahawks 28, Rams 25

   Minnesota Vikings (4-6) at New York Giants (7-3)

   "That is a very, very costly loss for us,'' Tom Coughlin said the other day, when it was determined that pass-rusher Mathias Kiwanuka was lost for the year with a broken left fibula. That will matter down the road -- against Chicago and Washington, and certainly in the finale against Tom Brady. But this week, the Giants need roughage to combat the Vikes running game, not a speed-rusher to frustrate the passer.

   Giants 16, Vikings 13

   Washington Redskins (5-5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-4)

   This is the fourth Washington-at-Tampa Bay game in the last three years. It's true: The Bucs have played Washington in Raymond James Stadium more in the last three years than they've played any team in the league at home. (Three straight regular-season meetings, plus the 'Skins' 20-17 playoff nailbiter there in '05, when Chris Simms threw the perfect pass in the end zone that Edell Shepherd couldn't hold onto.) "It feels like we're in the NFC East,'' Jon Gruden said the other day. I like Washington, because I'm really starting to like what I see in Jason Campbell.

   Redskins 30, Buccaneers 23

   New Orleans Saints (4-6) at Carolina Panthers (4-6)

   The Saints have lost four, won four, lost two. By rights, they should lose two more, I suppose. But these are the expansionesque Panthers we're talking about, with as bad a quarterback situation as there is in the league. Remember when Vinny Testaverde was a warm and fuzzy story, not a grim reality?

   Saints 16, Panthers 12

   Buffalo Bills (5-5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (7-3)

   I can just see it now. Chris Kelsay jogs onto the field in Jacksonville on Sunday, and Dick Jauron sidles up to him. "Hey,'' Jauron says. "What's that piece of black metal on your neck?" Kelsay, confused, picks it off and starts examining it. Jauron knows immediately what it is. "Shrapnel," he says, "left over from the New England game."

   Jaguars 27, Bills 10

   San Francisco 49ers (2-8) at Arizona Cardinals (5-5)

   The Niners have 10 touchdowns in 10 games. I'm just staying with the average here in what looks fairly certain to be San Francisco's ninth loss in a row.

   Cardinals 31, 49ers 13

   Denver Broncos (5-5) at Chicago Bears (4-6)

   This is the kind of year it is in Chicago: The Bears can't find a quarterback, they traded the wrong running back to the Jets, Bernard Berrian hasn't turned into Willie Gault, their defense lost its bite, Brian Urlacher's back hurts all the time, Mike Brown's hurt again ... and this win could move them within a game of a wild-card spot with three of the last five games at home.

   Bears 24, Broncos 20

   Baltimore Ravens (4-6) at San Diego Chargers (5-5)

   The real question is: How long am I going to be a sucker for the Chargers? If I could count on Kyle Boller to play a B game here, I'd pick Baltimore, but he makes two throws every game that make you say: What in the world led him to THAT decision?

   Chargers 23, Ravens 21

   Philadelphia Eagles (5-5) at New England Patriots (10-0)

   I think Donovan McNabb will play, but getting hurt (sprained ankle, sprained thumb) in November for the fourth time in the last six years leads me to think that Andy Reid will be led to make this inevitable decision after the season: whacking McNabb and going with '07 second-round pick Kevin Kolb.

   Patriots 40, Eagles 14

   Miami Dolphins (0-10) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-3)

   I pick a relatively close game not because I think the Steelers won't play well. I think the message from Mike Tomlin will be heard loud and clear, and several times, this week. "Every time you take the field, you've got to come to play,'' Tomlin said the other day. "That's what great teams do.'' I think Miami will play OK down the stretch, in part because Cam Cameron's going to put the kid quarterback, John Beck (only 9-of-22 in his debut at Philly last week), in position to succeed. Success is a relative term on an 0-10 team, but I think Beck's going to have some.

   Steelers 27, Dolphins 17

   Scott Spreitzer's NFL 25* Thanksgiving Day Beatdown! *20-8, 71% NFL Run!

   I'm taking the points with the Lions. Packers' lines are often slanted a bit, thanks to the public's infatuation with future hall-of-famer, Brett Favre. But now, thanks to Green Bay's incredible start and Detroit's back-to-back losses, the value is squarely on the side of the home pup. First of all, when capping this game, check out GB's schedule. It's been a soft ride, catching mediocre opposition in the right spots for the most part. I give the Pack and especially Favre the respect they deserve, but this may be the first time this season when they are the team in the tough spot. It is the first time they've been road-chalk with Mike McCarthy at the helm. I don't like their small-ish offensive line in this one, matching up against the very capable Cory Redding and Shaun Rogers. One of these two DTs will have to be double-teamed which leaves the other to wreak havoc on the GB passing game. Offensively, Detroit is loaded at WR, giving Kitna four targets to throw to. Green Bay safety Nick Collins is not expected to play and the Packers are short on quality depth in the secondary. I believe Kitna will pick them apart. The Lions have handled Favre in recent seasons. This time, the Lions have the supporting cast to break through with a win over their division rival. Add it up and we have a strong play on the Lions, plus points on Thanksgiving day. Here's to a great and winning holiday.

   BIG AL's 100% (13-0) 5* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH (Thursday)

   At 12:30 pm, our 5* NFL Game of the Month is on the Detroit Lions plus the points over Green Bay. On Sunday, the Packers won 31-17 over Carolina, but Green Bay was outgained in yardage by the Panthers, and victorious simply because Carolina turned the ball over four times (vs. zero turnovers by the Pack). Turnovers, of course, are the most random element of football wagering, so Green Bay was indeed fortunate to have won its fifth straight game (and fourth straight ATS). But now, Green Bay falls into two negative systems of mine (2-24 ATS and 0-13 ATS), while Detroit is a play under a 78-43 system off its back to back losses (at Arizona and home vs. the Giants). Specifically, our 78-43 angle plays on winning teams at home off a home loss, if our home team is not favored by 9+ points. And our 13-0 angle plays on certain winning teams at home, who are not favored by 4+ points, if they're matched up against a foe off back to back wins and covers. Detroit has lost its last three meetings with the Packers, and the revenging team is 17-8 ATS since 1980 in Detroit's Turkey Day games. Finally, with such a short work week, Detroit has a huge advantage by playing its previous game at home, and not having to travel. And the Lions are 100% ATS since 1980 on Thanksgiving when coming off a home game. Take Detroit. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my College Football Winners on Thursday and Friday.

    2 Star Selection

    **DETROIT 26 Green Bay (-3.5) 22

    09:30 AM Pacific, 22-Nov-07

    Detroit is coming off a misleading 10-16 loss to New York in which they out-gained the Giants 6.6 yards per play to 5.2 yppl but were -2 in turnover margin and played poorly in special teams. The Lions are still +5 in turnover margin for the season (Green Bay is also +5) and the Lions have a good chance of beating the 9-1 Packers if they are not hurt by turnovers again. Green Bay is a good team, but they are not as good as their record suggests and the Packers are due for a letdown today. Green Bay applies to a very negative 23-75-3 ATS letdown situation that is based on their good recent play and they also apply to a negative 7-34 ATS situation that plays against divisional road favorites on a winning streak. Detroit has been much better at home this season, out-gaining their opponents 6.0 yppl to 4.7 yppl on this field, so they should have the confidence to win this game. My math model favors Green Bay 4 ½ points but the math would actually favor the Lions using their home game stats only. I’ll take Detroit in a 2-Star Best Bet at +3 points or more and for 3-Stars at +4 or more..

    Thursday Opinions

    DALLAS (-14) 33 New York Jets 14

    The Jets played well last week in upsetting the Steelers, but Pittsburgh was in a huge letdown situation and Dallas is not. The Cowboys’ offense is simply too good (6.5 yards per play against teams that would combine to 5.2 yppl to an average team) for a horrible Jets’ defense to stop. New York has allowed 5.8 yppl this season (to teams that would combine to average 5.3 yppl against an average team) and the Jets are especially bad defending the pass (7.4 yards per pass play allowed to teams that would average 6.1 yppp), so expect Tony Romo and Terrell Owens to have another huge day after combining for 4 touchdowns last week. New York has faced two other good passing teams this season, allowing 10.6 yppp to New England and 9.9 yppp to Cincinnati, and my math model projects 10.0 yppp for the Cowboys in this game. New York has averaged only 4.8 yppl this season and the Jets’ attack is even worse now with Kellen Clemens at quarterback while Dallas has one of the best defensive units in the NFL. My math model favors Dallas by 18 ½ points and there are no situations that apply that suggest a Cowboys’ letdown. I’ll lean with Dallas to show off on national TV.

    ATLANTA (+11 ½) 16 Indianapolis 23

    Indianapolis is much better defensively this season and that unit ranks among the NFL’s best (4.5 yards per play allowed to teams that would combine to average 5.4 yppl against an average team), but the Colts offense isn’t as potent with Marvin Harrison injured for most of the season. Payton Manning was averaging 8.3 yards per pass play in the first 3 games with Harrison healthy, but he’s averaged only 6.3 yppp since week 4 when Harrison got hurt and the Colts’ attack has averaged only 5.4 yards per play over those 7 games (against teams that would combine to allow 5.3 yppl to an average team). Harrison is expected to miss this week and while Anthony Gonzalez is doing a good job filling in for Harrison (207 yards on 22 passes thrown to him), 3rd and 4th receivers Aaron Moorehead and Craphonso Thorpe have been horrible in combining for 112 yards on 33 passes thrown to them. The difference between those reserves and having those balls targeted for Harrison is nearly 2 points per game. Atlanta is not too bad defensively (5.4 yppl allowed to teams that would average 5.1 yppl against an average defense), so the Colts aren’t likely to score an abundance of points without Harrison in the lineup (unless a 3rd receivers steps up and starts playing much better). The Falcons’ offense is below average and my math model projects just 234 total yards and 3.9 yppl for them against the Colts’ stout defense, but the math favors Indy by just 6 points overall. Over the last few years the Colts have out-played their stats by about 2 ½ points per game on average, so Indianapolis by 8 ½ points is a better projection for this game. Double-digit road favorites usually have a tough time covering in the NFL and teams with a win percentage of greater than .750 are only 19-39-2 ATS as a road favorite of 10 points or more if they’re coming off a win (teams don’t letdown as big favorites coming off a loss), so I’ll call for a 7 point margin and lean with Atlanta plus the points.

    3 Star Selection

    ***Buffalo 20 JACKSONVILLE (-8.0) 19

    10:00 AM Pacific, 25-Nov-07

    Buffalo is 7-1 ATS this season when not playing New England, including 6 straight non- Patriots spread wins and the Bills are still an underrated team. I can certainly understand why the Bills are considered a bad team given that theyve averaged just 4.8 yards per play while allowing 5.8 yppl this season, but those numbers dont reflect whats going on with the Bills currently. Buffalo was horrible defensively early in the season but a couple of injuries to starting defensive backs led to a new lineup and the Bills discovered that the backups are much better than the original starters were. In 6 games since CB Jabari Greer and S George Wilson joined the starting lineup the Bills have allowed 5.3 yppl to teams that would combine to average 5.6 yppl against an average defensive team. Buffalos J.P. Losman has played well since returning as the starting quarterback and he has been 0.1 yards per pass play better than average this season (6.1 yppp against teams that would allow 6.0 yppp to an average quarterback) while Trent Edwards was 0.9 yppp worse than average in his 5 games. The rushing attack is much worse without Marshawn Lynch, as his 3.8 ypr is much better than the 2.7 ypr that the other running backs have averaged this season. I adjusted the Bills rushing attack 0.8 yards per rushing play downward for the absence of Lynch and I rate Buffalos attack at 0.7 yppl worse than average without Lynch. Jacksonville, however, is 0.5 yppl worse than average defensively this season (5.7 yppl allowed to teams that would combine to average 5.2 yppl against an average team) and their offense is only 0.3 yppl better than average with David Garrard at quarterback, so the Jags are actually a below average team from the line of scrimmage. Garrard makes up for that by having not thrown an interception all season, but the Jaguars certainly are just barely better than an average team overall while Buffalo is barely worse than average thanks to their great special teams and their now better than average defense. My math model favors Jacksonville by only 3½ points in this game and the Jags apply to a 2-29 ATS subset of a 33-77-1 ATS home favorite letdown situation. The Bills were 5-1 straight up in their 6 games before facing the Patriots juggernaut last week, with the only other loss being by just 1 point to the 9-1 Cowboys, so getting more than a touchdown looks like a good play given the situation and the line value. I'll take Buffalo in a 3-Star Best Bet at +7½ points or more and for 2-Stars at +7 points.

    2 Star Selection

    **Oakland 17 KANSAS CITY (-5.5) 14

    10:00 AM Pacific, 25-Nov-07

    The Raiders are a much better team with Daunte Culpepper at quarterback in place of Josh McCown, as Culpepper has averaged a decent 5.8 yards per pass play (against teams that would combine to allow 5.9 yppp to an average quarterback) while throwing just 5 interceptions in 162 passes. McCown, meanwhile, averaged only 5.1 yppp despite facing teams that would combine to allow 6.6 yppp to an average QB and he threw 9 picks in just 122 pass attempts. Culpepper looked good in his return to the starting lineup last week, throwing for over 300 yards and averaging 7.2 yppp against the Vikings and the Raiders are just 0.1 yards per play worse than average offensively with Culpepper at quarterback. Kansas Citys defense has been solid all season and the Chiefs rate at 0.4 yppl better than average on that side of the ball, so they have a 0.5 yppl advantage over the Raiders attack. The Chiefs have turned their offense over to second year pro Brodie Croyle and he hasnt proven to be any worse than Damon Huard was in his 1½ games behind center. Croyle has averaged only 5.5 yppp on 79 pass plays (against teams that would allow 6.0 yppp to an average QB) and the Chiefs running attack has gone from bad to dreadful with Larry Johnson sidelines the last two weeks. Kansas City has averaged only 3.2 ypr this season and the Chiefs averaged just 2.8 ypr in two games without Johnson (against teams that would combine to allow 4.4 ypr) and now backup Priest Holmes has suddenly retired. Rookie Kolby Smith takes over, but his 19 yards on 10 carries this season does not indicate that he’ll be any better than Holmes was (just 3.0 ypr before retiring). Kansas City has been 0.9 yppl worse than average offensively this season (4.6 yppl against teams that would allow 5.5 yppl to an average team) and that unit is even worse without Larry Johnson again this week. The Raiders have been a disappointment defensively this season, but their horrible run defense doesnt figure to hurt them too much against an equally bad Chiefs rushing attack and the Raiders defense (0.6 yppl worse than average) has a 0.5 yppl advantage over the Chiefs offense without Johnson which is the same advantage that KC had over Oaklands offense. The Raiders have an edge in special teams and my math model favors the Chiefs by just 2 points in this game. Oakland applies is just 2-8 and riding a 6 game losing streak but the Raiders continue to play hard and last weeks competitive loss at Minnesota is a good omen for the Raiders today. Teams that have lost 5 or more consecutive games are good bets if theyre coming off a loss of 7 points or less (a sign that they havent given up) and Oakland applies to a 76-26-1 ATS situation that is based on that premise. Ill take Oakland in a 2-Star Best Bet at +3½ points or more and for 3-Stars at +6 or more.

    2 Star Selection

    **Baltimore 17 SAN DIEGO (-9.0) 18

    01:15 PM Pacific, 25-Nov-07

    San Diego is certainly not a dominating team this season, being out-gained by an average of 305 yards at 5.3 yards per play to 355 yards at 5.6 yppl (after taking out quarterback spikes and kneel downs), and even the Chargers compensated numbers (0.1 yppl better than average offensively and 0.1 yppl worse than average defensively) are just mediocre. Baltimore looks like a bad team right now, as the Ravens have lost 4 straight games and are just 1-9 ATS for the season. Baltimores offense is indeed bad, averaging only 4.7 yppl against teams that would allow 5.6 yppl to an average team, but the Ravens defensive issues in recent weeks are likely to be a thing of the past with CB Samari Rolle and Chris McAlister back together in the secondary. Rolle has missed 6 games due to epilepsy, but hes returning to the lineup this week while McAlister should play this week with a bum ankle after returning from a 3 game absence last week. Safety Ed Reed got hurt last week, but he is also expected to play this week. Baltimores run defense has been great all season (3.0 ypr allowed to teams that would average 4.1 ypr against an average team) and the pass defense was very good too in the 3 games in which both Rolle and McAlister have played allowing just 5.4 yards per pass play in weeks 1, 2 and 6 to quarterbacks that would combine to average 5.6 yppp against an average defense). Baltimores pass defense has been 0.9 yppp worse than average in 7 games in which either Rolle or McAlister was out, so they are certainly not going to be as bad as their poor season numbers indicate. Baltimores defense is 0.4 yppl better than average for the season, but that unit has been 0.6 yppl better than average with their secondary intact and they have a pretty good edge over San Diegos offense especially if the Chargers try to run against the Ravens stout defensive front. My math model favors San Diego by 7 points if McAlister and Reed play as expected and by 9 points if one of them doesnt so the line is fair at the very worst and Baltimore applies to a number of good situations. The best of the situations is a 19-1 ATS subset of a 59-19-1 ATS road underdog bounce-back situation and Ill take Baltimore in a 2-Star Best Bet at +7½ points or more and for 3-Stars at +10 points or more.

    Strong Opinion

    Minnesota 20 NY GIANTS (-7.0) 21

    10:00 AM Pacific, 25-Nov-07

    It looks like the oddsmakers are making a little too much of the injury to star rookie running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson had been incredible for Minnesota before getting hurt (1081 yards at 6.4 ypr), but the Vikings have a great offensive line and a very good backup running back in Chester Taylor, who has run for 468 yards at 5.6 ypr. The absence of Peterson is only worth about 1 point and the Vikings should certainly not be a 7 point underdog in this game. New York is only 0.1 yards per play better than average offensively (5.3 yppl against teams that would combine to allow 5.2 yppl to an average team) and the best part of their offense a rushing attack that has averaged 4.6 ypr against teams that would allow just 3.9 ypr to an average team. However, running against the Vikings is not something that is easily done (Minnesota yields just 3.0 ypr) and Eli Manning is below average again this season (5.9 yards per pass play against teams that would allow 6.1 yppp to an average quarterback). The Vikings are 0.2 yppl worse than average defending the pass, but the Giants are at a disadvantage overall against the Minnesota defense. The Vikings offense has been 0.5 yppl better than average this season, but I rate that attack at just 0.2 yppl better than average without Peterson and with Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback. The Giants are only 0.3 yppl better than average defensively and these teams are about even overall from the line of scrimmage. The Giants do have an advantage in projected turnovers but Minnesota has an edge in special teams and my math model favors New York by just 2 points in this game and the Vikings have a solid 56% chance of covering at +7 points based on the historical predictability of my math model. Ill consider Minnesota a Strong Opinion in this game at +7 points and Ill take Minnesota in a 2-Star Best Bet at +7½ points or more (at -115 odds or better).

    Strong Opinion

    San Francisco 15 ARIZONA (-10.5) 20

    01:05 PM Pacific, 25-Nov-07

    San Francisco is now officially the worst team in the NFL after losing at home to the Rams, but the 49ers qualify in a very good 227-111-9 ATS contrary indicator and a 24-1 ATS subset of a 138-67-3 ATS situation. Arizona, meanwhile, applies to a negative 34-90-1 ATS situation and the 49ers are the strongest technical play of the week. San Franciscos defense is good enough to keep them in the game, but their offense is horrendous and my math model favors Arizona by 12½ points. The situations are certainly strong enough to give up a bit of line value but Im just not eager to pull the trigger on the Niners in a Best Bet. Ill consider San Francisco a Strong Opinion at +10 points or more on the basis of the strong situations and indicators.

    Strong Opinion

    Under (41) - PITTSBURGH (-16.0) 24 Miami 10

    05:30 PM Pacific, 26-Nov-07

    Miamis offense went from better than average to a bit worse than average when quarterback Trent Green was injured and then the attack went from worse than average to dreadful starting week 9 when star running back Ronnie Brown was hurt. Backup Jessie Chatman is a decent runner, but he hasnt been able to match Browns 5.1 ypr and Chatman hasnt come close to making up for Browns contributions in the passing games. Brown still leads the Dolphins in receiving yards despite missing the last 3 games and he was the NFLs best pass catching running back when he got hurt, averaging 8.5 yards per pass thrown to him. Chatman, meanwhile, has averaged only 4.4 yards on the 28 passes thrown to him and the difference is about 3 points per game. The difference in the running contributions between the two backs works about to about 2 points per game and the Dolphins have averaged just 4.1 yards per play and 9 points in 3 games without Brown. Miami has turned over the reigns of this broken down offense to rookie John Beck and he appears to be no better or worse than Cleo Lemon was in Lemons 5 games at the helm which is to say not very good. My math model favors Pittsburgh by 14½ points and I have situations going both for and against the Dolphins in this game. Ill lean slightly with Miami and I would have made the Under a Best Bet here if not for Pittsburghs tendency to go Over at home (39-12-1 Over). Miami has gone easily Under in all 3 games without Brown and his absence hasnt been properly adjusted for in the total. I will consider the UNDER a Strong Opinion at 40 points or higher.
