   TOM SCOTT’S ANGLE OF THE WEEK

   Posted: 2007-12-10

   For almost a decade now, I’ve been writing about Triplets for this site. Triplets are three-game-sets with distinct characteristics that usually lead you to a winner in the third or "Target" game. In my opinion, they are the most powerful handicapping tool in sports and I mean any sport. Although they are hard to spot without knowing what you’re looking for, Triplets, when well defined, come up every now and then and, judging by their win percentage, are well worth the wait. Here is one of my favorite NFL Triplets and it is in effect this week. The three games in a triplet are the first game or the "Starter", the second game or the "Set Up" and the Target game. Here’s how this one works. Find a team who won SU as a road underdog for the Starter. Make him follow that with a SUATS win as a home favorite in the Set Up. Then put him out on the road as a favorite in the Target game. With that exact scenario and a little line parameter, I present my Angle of the Week:

   PLAY AGAINST any NFL road favorite of -4 or more who won SU as a road underdog two games back and won and covered last week as a home favorite.

   26 Year ATS = 35-11 for 76.1%

   This week’s play = CAROLINA over Seattle

   ANALYSIS

   Here we go! The first of no less than thirty two Bowl Games! As we noted on

   our '06 Bowl Report #1, we released our very first bowl edition (Tues, Dec 16,

   1969), and it consisted of exactly 8 Bowls: Sun, Gator, Peach, Blue Bonnet,

   Rose, Cotton, Orange, & Sugar. Now the "bowl eligible" mission seems the main

   quest for the vast majority of marginal squads, many of whom make it into post

   season play. As far as this contest is concerned, a couple of bowl veterans surely

   figure to give the fans their money's worth. For the Middies of Navy, this marks

   their 5th-straight winning season, something that they hadn't accomplished since

   a similar streak in 1978-82. And they've done it in their usual style, namely with

   an overland game that has been their forte for ages. At season's end, they ranked

   #1 in the nation for the 3rd straight year, & they've finished at #3 or better in all

   6 year's of Johnson's reign, but he has now departed. The highlight game, was

   snapping their 44-game losing streak vs Notre Dame, altho it took all 46 pts to do

   it, as they allowed 44 pts & 375 yds to an Irish team which fielded the nation's

   worst offense. Navy is a defensive sieve, ranking 109th in scoring. Try ceding

   635 yds & 62 pts to a North Texas squad, which won 2 games. A year ago, Navy

   faced Boston College in the Meineke Bowl, with the Eagles entering on a 6-game

   bowl winning streak. And this season, they take on a Utah team which has also

   won its last 6 bowl games (covering the last 5). The Utes, obviously, are more

   balanced, with RB Mack, & QB Johnson (65%) the leaders, & feature a defense

   which ranks 14th in the nation. It is rare that we buck a service academy team in

   a bowl game, but that Middie "D" is just too much to ignore. Thus, a mild Ute call.

   ANALYSIS

   From not even fielding a football team, prior to 2001, to a bowl game appearance

   in 2007. That is simply an amazing accomplishment, but just the latest in the

   storied career of its Hall of Fame head coach, Howard Schnellenberger, who is

   best known for turning Miami of Florida into an annual national title contender, &

   winning it all in '83. But he also was head man at Louisville, taking over a 2-9

   team in '85, & leading them to a 10-1-1 record, including a 34-7 thumping of

   Alabama in the '90 Fiesta Bowl. And, in Boca Raton, he has again performed his

   collegiate magic. Not only have these Owls been rewarded with a holiday slot,

   but Atlantic has a pair of 9-win seasons already under its belt (9-2 in '03, & 9-3 in

   '04). The featured performer on this year's squad is QB Rusty Smith, who was

   named Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week 4 times, with his prodigious overhead

   accomplishments (256-of-447 for 3,352 yds, & 27 TDs, with just 8 INTs). In

   the Owls' 42-39 win over then-dangerous Minnesota, he threw for a school record

   463 yds & 5 TDs. And in Atlantic's season-ending 38-32 upset of Troy, he went

   23-of-34 for 291 yds (2/0). Oh, and note a defense which thrives on the takeaway,

   as FAU ranks #1 in the land in TO ratio (+19). Yes, the fastest start-up program

   ever to make it to a bowl game. For the Tigers of Memphis, this marks their 4th

   bowl reward in the past 5 seasons (all under HC Tommy West), & thus far, they've

   performed decently (2-1, both SU & ATS). A slow start, attributed to the Bradford

   tragedy, has turned into a 5-1 stretch drive, in which they've managed to outscore

   their opponents, by a combined 215-205 score. That's right, the nation's 20th

   "O", but 99th "D". Remember last year, when Troy won this game 41-17. Again.

   ANALYSIS

   As we wrote a year ago, the Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi have become

   a near permanent holiday fixture, & here they are again, participating in their 10th

   bowl game in the past 11 seasons. In their previous 9 bowls, they've gone 6-3 on

   the field, & 5-4 vs the pts, with their only SU win/ATS loss coming in a 31-19 win

   over Arkansas St, in the '05 New Orleans Bowl, as 16-pt chalks. A year ago,

   they covered by 14½, in their 28-7 win over Ohio U, in the New Orleans Bowl.

   This has been a typical season for the Eagles, as their 7-5 log has been the norm

   under Jeff Bower, who is coaching his final game at SM, thereby ending a 29-yr

   relationship with the school, as a player & coach, with this his 14th consecutive

   winning season. The chalk has been the way to go of late, in games involving

   Southern, especially away from Hattiesburg, where it is has covered 15 of its last

   20 contests. They are led by RB Fletcher, who finished the season with 1,431

   yds (5.4 ypr) & 15 TDs, on top of his brilliant frosh season of 1,388 yds & 11 TDs.

   Overhead, however, shows just 12 TD passes & 13 INTs for Young & Reaves.

   Not the case with the Bearcats of Cincinnati, who are playing in their 6th bowl

   game in the past 8 years. They are led by QB Ben Mauk, who transferred from

   Wake Forest, & wound up as the nation's 9th rated passer (2,787 yds, 61.4%,

   27 TDs, & just 6 INTs). As can be seen above, the Cincy offense is weighted

   toward the pass, but note a 4.2-3.0 ypr rushing edge over the entire course of the

   season. And be sure to take note of the fact that the Bearcats rank 2nd in the

   nation in the takeaway, with 39. The quality of opposition is heavily in the Bearcats'

   corner, & Cincy has delivered the money all season long. We call their number.

   ANALYSIS

   The 2nd year for this newest of bowls, with the homestanding Lobos of New

   Mexico again playing host. A year ago, they were a bit embarrassed in losing to

   San Jose St, 20-12, as the same FG chalks that they are this time around. The

   fumble (4) killed New Mexico in that contest, as they held nearly a 100-yd edge

   over the Spartans. This season has been just an extension of the successful

   tenure of coach Rocky Long, whose minions have gone bowling 6 times in his 11

   years at the helm. The Lobos broke our hearts in their opener, when, as our Top

   College Play on Pointwise, as 3½ pt chalks over Utep, they held edges of 23-12

   in FDs, 379-195 in yds, & 38:23-21:37 in time, but managed only 6 pts, in losing

   10-6. Ouch! But once more, they've righted their ship, & find themselves again

   in the post-season picture. Their ace is RB Ferguson, who finished with 1,177

   yds & 13 TDs, while ranking 36th in the nation, while QB Porterie stood at 58.6 for

   2,652 yds & 13 TDs, but 8 INTs at season's end. Easy wins were hardly the

   norm, as 4 of their 7 wins over lined foes came by just 2, 3, 3, & 3 pts, and note

   only a 4-ppg edge over the course of the season. The Wolfpack of Nevada Reno

   has really lit it up this season, ranking 7th in the nation on offense, & 16th in the

   land in scoring. RB Lippincott sets the tone (1,380 yds & 15 TDs), with QB

   Kaepernick at 55.6% for 2,038 yds. Not that impressive? Okay, how about 19

   TD passes & only 3 INTs? Good enough to place him 5th in the nation among

   QBs. And WR Mitchell averaged 22.0 yd per catch. The last 5 lined Nevada

   road gms have seen finals of 36-31, 69-67, 31-28, 40-38,& 27 -24. That Reno

   "D" can definitely jump up & bite the 'Pack, but its explosive "O" may neutralize it.

   ANALYSIS

   A bowl rarity here, and it's spelled r-e-v-e-n-g-e. That's right, these two have

   already met this season, in week #2 to be exact, when the hosting Bruins of

   UCLA, as 7½ pt chalks, took the measure of the Cougars of BYU, 27-17,

   despite deficits of 23-15 in FDs, & 435-236 in total yards! The Bruins have had

   their moments, to be sure, with 45, 44, & 45 pt outbursts in 3 of their first 5

   games, but they've been hit hard by the injury bug, especially at QB, with both

   Olson & Cowan missing considerable time, altho both should be ready for this

   contest. The Uclans, as usual, have seen plenty of bowl action, with this their

   6th straight holiday appearance, but note suffering through 7, 6, 4, 5, 7, 6, 6, &

   6 loss seasons from '99 thru '07, with the exception being their 10-2 mark in

   '05, & even that year saw the Bruins allowing 34.2 ppg (10th worst in the

   nation). This year they failed to top 16 pts on 5 occasions, & were completely

   outplayed in their finale vs USC, with 26-10 FD, 231-12 RY, & 437-168 TY

   deficits. Yet, through it all, the Bruins managed an 8-4 spread mark, going a

   perfect 5-0 as dogs, by 63 pts ATS. For the Coogs, this marks their 26th bowl

   game since '74. Records of 5-7, 4-8, & 5-6 kept them home for the holidays in

   '02, '03, & '04, but Mendenhall has made school history since that dry spell,

   becoming the first head coach to take the Cougars bowling in his first 3 years.

   All three have been spent in Las Vegas. How have they done so far? A push

   in '05's 35-28 loss to Cal, in which they had a mere 469-446 yd deficit; and a

   38-8 rout of Oregon last year, as 3½ pt chalks (30-14 FD & 548-260 yd edges).

   BYU is on a 21-9 ATS run, ranks 15th on "O", 9th on "D". Revenge? You bet.

   ANALYSIS

   What, the Hawaii Rainbows not playing in the Hawaii Bowl? Well, actually it

   also happened just 2 years ago, when Nevada (-3) prevailed 49-48 in OT, over

   Central Florida. Besides, the 'Bows have bigger fish to fry, come New Year's

   Day, as they are this year's edition of "Cinderella", just as the Broncos of Boise

   State were a season ago, in their stunning upset of Oklahoma, in the Fiesta

   Bowl. For Boise, this marks its 6th straight bowl game, & its 8th since 1999,

   when the Broncs first burst on the scene with their scintillating offense. At

   least 10 wins in 7 of those 9 seasons (8 in '01, & 9 in '05), with LY's 13-0 mark

   the acme. They again are among the elites, offensively, ranking 10th in total

   "O", as well as 3rd in scoring. A year ago, they were led by QB Zabransky,

   who finished 8th in the nation (66.4%, 20 TDs, 7 INTs). Well, he has been ably

   replaced by Tharp, who coincidentally, ranks 8th in the nation (68.3%, 28 TDs,

   9 INTs). Truly amazing. And RB Johnson is now at 2,743 RYs & 41 TDs the

   past 2 years. Note that this marks their 2nd Honolulu appearance in the past

   month (39-27 loss to Hawaii in WAC showdown). The Pirates of East Carolina

   have been on a steady rise since their 1-11 mark in '03, & have posted an

   enviable 25-11 spread mark over the past 3 seasons, including a decent 7-5

   record this season. Plenty of "O", but very little "D". As a matter of fact,

   they've averaged 41 ppg in 7 of their last 8 games, but allowed 37 ppg in 9 of

   their last 11 games. They rank 97th in total "D", & 115th vs the pass. Tharp,

   anyone? We know that double digit chalks can be poison come bowl time, but

   heavy weight is a weekly occurrence for the Broncos. Feast on the Pirate "D".

   THE SPORTS REPORTER-- NFL THEY WERE 5-0 LAST WEEK!!

   BEST BET

   TENNESSEE over *KANSAS CITY by 18

   Jeff Fisher and his Titans know that either Buffalo or Cleveland is guaranteed to lose on

   this day, making their own quest for a Wild Card berth that much more tenable. Privately,

   they’ll be sure to root for Buffalo, as that could create a scenario where three AFC teams

   sit at 8-6 with two games left – and the Titans have to love their match-ups in the last

   two weeks: the hapless New York Jets next week and a Colts team that will most likely

   be sitting their starters in week seventeen. Vince Young’s passing performance has been

   incredibly inconsistent – to be kind – but their run game has been steady and productive,

   with both LenDale White and Chris Brown proving capable of carrying the load. As

   the calendar takes us deeper into December and the weather turns colder, Tennessee’s

   ability to consistently run the ball – to the tune of 133.8 yards per game – should give

   them a big advantage in this type of game. Last week’s loss to the Broncos – in case you

   weren’t paying attention – was the final nail in the coffin of Kansas City’s 2007 season,

   as six straight losses have relegated the Chiefs to the basement of the AFC West and

   looking forward to next year. Look for the Titans to pound the rock and exploit a KC run

   defense that has been crumbling over the past few weeks. TENNESSEE 31-13.

   BEST BET

   PHILADELPHIA over *DALLAS by 3

   The reports say that the Eagles “saw their fading playoff hopes take perhaps a fatal

   blow” by losing to the Giants and dropping to 5-8 SU last Sunday. It’s only fatal when the

   math says it is, but that early pronouncement will be good enough for the public to grab

   their forks and play “please pass the meat,” their 12-1 SU Cowboys, who already own a

   convincing 38-17 scoreboard decision in Philadelphia from November 4, when Dallas

   was off its bye week and the Eagles had just spent the prior Sunday being pounded by

   Minnesota’s offensive and defensive lines yet emerging with a win. The first downs margin

   of the first meeting – 24-21 -- was a lot slimmer than the scoreboard margin and

   Donovan McNabb did more than his share to put the Eagles in a hole that Dallas was able

   to shovel dirt on by running the ball effectively while the clock ticked against

   Philadelphia. Second seasonal meetings generally get played tighter and the Eagles – the

   NFL’s bravest underdog road warrior at 27-13 ATS (68%) during Andy Reid’s tenure, have

   certainly displayed enough long-term heart and pride to avoid packing it in until all postseason

   chance has gone by the boards. PHILADELPHIA, 24-21.

   BEST BET

   WASHINGTON over *NY GIANTS by 8

   Hard-fought win against division-rival Philadelphia puts the 9-4 SU Giants one step closer

   to clinching the first available NFC Wild Card slot available, which doesn’t guarantee

   the home favorite anything in this game, that’s for sure. Not with the 6-7 SU division-rival

   Redskins coming in as the desperado road dog with three extra days to prepare as they

   seek to stay alive for that second NFC Wild Card, a/k/a the Bobby Prize. Losing the services

   of immature QB Jason Campbell to injury was probably the best thing that could

   have happened to the Redskins, as very little meaningful tape exists on 13-season NFL

   veteran Todd Collins, the latest man with the golden opportunity. Collins was on the

   Kansas City Chiefs’ roster when current Redskins’ offensive coordinator Al Saunders was

   calling the plays over there, and one could argue that he is actually a better candidate to

   liven up the pedestrian Redskins’ attack than Campbell was. But Campbell was getting

   paid the big bucks and Collins only arrived in D.C. at the start of this season, so Campbell

   was playing. If forced to suffer with Campbell as an injury returnee here, we’ll take it, but

   either way, the Redskins have the healthier RBs and the better tight end for some sustained

   driving. WASHINGTON, 24-16.

   RECOMMENDED

   BALTIMORE over *MIAMI by 14

   Cam Cameron and the quest for Miami’s Reverse Perfect Season lives! The Ravens arrive

   in Cameroon as the world invents reasons why they are the perfect team to be 0-13

   Miami’s first and possibly only win: Dead for the playoffs, off seven straight losses themselves.

   But hey, the Ravens got their egg-laying done early – very, very early -- in the

   Sunday night ultimate stinkeroo vs. the Colts. The smell is now out of their system. So

   how about playing to avoid the embarrassment of being Miami's first and possibly only

   2007 victim? There isn’t a player in the Baltimore locker room that wants to be associated

   with that dubious distinction, and it could be a good motivator for an otherwise

   group of Nowhere Men that the public also sees as the worst point-spread team in

   America (2-11 ATS). But you could say that the lines are deflated for Baltimore now, and

   this Miami team looks like it could only win if they had five full years of steroid foundation

   under them and were playing against teams that hadn’t done steroids, ever. Ravens’

   RB Willis McGahee was born in Miami, played college ball for Miami and as far as he is

   concerned, he’ll be damned if the Dolphins are bringing him down in his town. BALTIMORE,

   24-10.

   RECOMMENDED

   CINCINNATI over *SAN FRANCISCO by 17

   The Play for Pride Bowl, with the Bengals’ prospect for a .500 season their proverbial

   dangling carrot. The best San Francisco can hope for is to worsen the first round draft

   pick they’ll be handing over to New England at season’s end. The rest of the NFL will be

   thrilled to know that the Patriots will most likely end up with the #2 pick in the draft –

   hello Darren McFadden! Despite a desultory 2007 season so far, the Bengals have been

   saddled by a tough schedule that did them no favors. Luckily, the last three weeks represent

   very winnable games. Rudi Johnson’s best game in weeks should give the Cincy

   offense some hope of consistency after suffering through Carson Palmer’s worst stretch

   of his career in recent weeks. The San Francisco defense, which began the season with

   such high hopes, has been decimated by injury and overuse and should prove susceptible

   to a high-flying Bengals attack that should be able to take advantage of a 49ers

   squad that has already given up the ghost. CINCINNATI 30-13

   THE SPORTS MEMO GUYS !!

   TEDDY COVERS ---> 12-1-1 THIS YEAR !!!!!!

   BEST BET

   Jacksonville at Pittsburgh -4 O/U 39

   Recommendation: Over

   Very quietly, under the radar, the Jacksonville Jaguars have become

   one of the NFL’s strongest Over teams. The Jags have gone Over

   the total in each of their last seven games, producing a combined

   score of at least 41 points each time. Jacksonville’s offense has become

   a well oiled machine, putting up 24-plus in each of those last

   seven games. Quarterback David Garrard has only thrown one interception

   all year, and Jacksonville’s strong running game, led by

   the duo of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, ensures that when

   they reach the red zone, they score touchdowns. The Jags have

   big play potential from their running game as well as their passing

   game, and let’s not forget to mention the defensive touchdown that

   Jacksonville scored last week –- again, finding ways to reach the

   end zone. Pittsburgh has gone under the total in each of their last

   two home games, in large part due to the deplorable conditions at

   Heinz Field in foul weather. But prior to those two weather related

   Unders, the Steelers at home has been the single strongest Over

   play in the entire NFL over the past three seasons -- 17-3-1 since

   the start of the 2005 campaign. Pittsburgh, like Jacksonville, has

   extraordinary balance on offense leading to great red zone efficiency.

   And while the Steelers have allowed fewer points than

   any defense in the league this year, let’s not forget the litany of

   weak offenses that they’ve faced. The last three strong offensive

   teams that Pittsburgh has faced (Denver, Cleveland and New England),

   each put up four touchdowns or more against this defense.

   ROB VENO--- 9-3--2 -- THIS YEAR !!!

   BEST BET

   Atlanta at Tampa Bay -10 O/U NL

   Recommendation: Tampa Bay

   I fully expect a repeat of the 31-7 beating Tampa Bay handed

   the Falcons a little less than a month ago. In that contest, the

   Bucs’ defensive front dominated Atlanta in all facets. T-Bay

   held the Falcons ground game to just 49 yards on 19 carries,

   while also generating a tremendous pass rush that recorded

   five sacks. Can’t see much variation from that overwhelming

   performance because the personnel matchups favor Tampa

   Bay so much. Situational handicapping is heavily tilted toward

   the Buccaneers side as well. First off, Atlanta is on a

   short work week, secondly, Tampa will be looking to clinch the

   NFC South if they already haven’t (check the Monday night

   result) and last but not least, fiery head coach Jon Gruden will

   undoubtedly push his team to bounce back strong after last

   week’s 14-point loss at Houston. Offensively, Tampa’s passing

   game has surprisingly been in solid hands the past couple

   of weeks without starter Jeff Garcia. Backup Luke McCown

   has stepped in and gone 54-of-75 for 579 yards with only one

   interception. Raymond James Stadium has been very good

   to the Bucs all season as they’ve gone 5-1 straight up and

   4-1-1 against the spread. The 10-point number they’re asked

   to cover in this contest may look large based on their perception

   as a pedestrian offense, but with Atlanta losing their

   last three games heading into Monday night by 12 or more

   points and the Falcons defense allowing 30 points per game

   during that stretch, a double-digit TB win doesn’t figure to be

   all that difficult. Tampa Bay will roll here with the final score

   coming somewhere in the same range as the earlier meeting.

   DAVID JONES (10-4)

   BEST BET

   Detroit at San Diego -10.5 O/U 45.5

   Recommendation: Over

   The Detroit Lions will try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive

   in week 15 against the Chargers. Detroit was in a position to

   end their losing streak last week at home before losing a heartbreaker

   in the final seconds to Dallas. Despite the loss of top receiver

   Roy Williams, the Lions’ offense played well enough to win

   with a balanced effort. Unfortunately, Detroit’s defense has not

   been able to make enough critical stops against solid opponents.

   The defensive shortcomings have really shown up on the road

   this season. In their four defeats away from Detroit, the Lions

   are allowing a whopping 38 points per game. More of the same

   should be in store in this contest for Detroit’s stop unit. While

   San Diego has been inconsistent with their talented offense in

   2007, the club is gaining some momentum as the postseason

   nears. With a 7-2 record in their last nine games, the Chargers

   are closing in on an AFC West crown. LaDainian Tomlinson has

   put together consecutive efforts of over 100 rushing yards after

   some rough stretches. San Diego has also played with much

   greater confidence in their home stadium. The Chargers are 5-

   1 at home with an average of over 29 points per game during

   their current four-game home winning streak. The trends line

   up very well for San Diego to have another big offensive day in

   this one against a Lions’ defense that is lacking any confidence

   on the road. While San Diego’s offense will do most of the damage

   in this one, the Lions solid offense will do their share as well

   against a defense that is good but not dominant. Detroit’s run

   of Overs (5-1 last six games) should continue in this matchup.

   MARTY OTTO

   BEST BET

   Buffalo at Cleveland -5.5 O/U 46

   Recommendation: Cleveland

   The Bills and Browns meet in an improbable game that will push

   the winner into a favorable situation to make the playoffs as a

   Wild Card in the AFC. Buffalo has proven to be a strong side worthy

   of backing at home and has gotten solid play from QB Trent

   Edwards (6-1 as a starter) as well as rookie RB Marshawn Lynch

   and Fred Jackson, who both went over 100 yards last week. But

   the Bills have struggled on the highway against formidable competition.

   They were fortunate to escape Washington last time out,

   but with the pressure of making the playoffs surrounding this tilt

   we don’t expect the same heroics. Cleveland’s 32nd ranked defense

   is somewhat of a concern here, but they have been getting

   good pressure on opposing QBs of late which has masked their

   rather porous secondary. And they do seem to step up the effort

   with max performances at home. The same can be said for their

   explosive offense as well. The Browns currently rank as the fifthhighest

   scoring team in the league at better than 27 points per

   game. Jamal Lewis has gone over the 100-yard mark in two of

   his last three games behind the rock solid offensive line and his

   ability to move the chains and provide balance will be a key in this

   matchup. We’ll call for him to have a reasonably effective game

   even against a stout Buffalo front seven, which will present Braylon

   Edwards and Kellen Winslow with ample opportunities to make

   big plays over the top. In the end the Browns will extend their ATS

   mark to 6-1 at home and put a stamp on their ticket to the playoffs

   JARED KLEIN

   BEST BET

   Jacksonville +4 at Pittsburgh O/U 39

   Recommendation: Jaguars

   The Jacksonville Jaguars travel up to Pittsburgh to face the

   Steelers this weekend and I don’t know if there is a more under

   the radar team then the Jaguars. The Jaguars now sit at 9-4

   SU and ATS after a 37-6 win over the Carolina Panthers. Jacksonville

   outgained their opponent 427-149 in total yards in the

   victory and also amassed 178 yards rushing with the combined

   effort of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew. The Jaguars’

   defense was also fantastic in the win holding the Panthers’

   offense to 149 totals yards, which broke down to 99 yards

   passing and 50 yards rushing. Jacksonville has been fantastic

   against the run since they gave up 300-plus yards to Tennessee

   in Week 1. They are fifth in the league in run defense

   and sixth overall in points allowed. They will face a Steelers

   team this week that stood little chance in their blowout loss

   to New England. If you take a look at just who the Steelers

   have beaten, only three of their victories have come against

   teams with a winning record (Cleveland, Seattle and Buffalo).

   Since quarterback David Garrard has returned from an ankle

   injury, Jacksonville’s offense has put up 24 points or more in

   every game they’ve played. This game will come down to the

   wire and the Jaguars’ offense has enough fire power to keep

   this close or even pull the outright upset against a Pittsburgh

   squad that may not be as potent as their record would indicate.

   SONNY PALERMO

   BEST BET

   NY Jets at New England -24 O/U 51

   Recommendation: New England

   Way back in week one, New England beat the Jets in NY, 38-

   14, and Jets’ head coach Mangini whined to the league officials

   that the win was not deserved because the Pats spied on

   them, employing illegal video taping. Since then, the Pats have

   played with a huge chip on their shoulder, making the rest of

   the league pay for this insult. They’re winning by an average

   margin of THREE TDs per game, and aside from the Super Bowl

   there is one other date they have circled on their calendar – December

   16, when Rat Boy and his prop planes come to town.

   Last week the Pats, off close wins to Philly and Baltimore, decided

   to switch back to “Take No Prisoners” mode and wiped

   out Pittsburgh by 21 points. Consider this: in NY, Mangenius

   went for a FG on 4th and 10 from the Cleveland 20, down by

   five points with only 1:47 left, while in NE, up by 21 points and

   with under 2:00 to play, Beli and Brady were passing the ball

   down field! The Pats may make history three times this season

   – they may go undefeated, they will be saddled with the biggest

   point spread in history (next week) and they may beat a team

   by the widest margin ever (this week.) I don’t care what number

   comes out, the books can’t make it high enough. Beli is ruthless

   under ordinary circumstances, this week – NO MERCY! The

   24-point differential in game one is going to seem minuscule

   in comparison to the outcome of the rematch and the public

   knows it, so buy this early as the number will likely rise all week.

   BRENT CROW

   BEST BET

   Jacksonville +4 at Pittsburgh O/U 39

   Recommendation: Jaguars

   The 9-4 Steelers talked a big game last week before going to

   New England, but when it was all said and done, they were put

   in their place by the Patriots. Pittsburgh fans should have expected

   it, they have been bad on the road all year, especially

   compared to what they have done at home. While they have

   lost to Arizona, Denver and the Jets on the road, the Steelers

   are 7-0 thus far at home, with only two close games: the

   mud bowl against Miami and a three-point win over Cleveland.

   Pittsburgh currently leads the Browns by one game in the AFC

   North race. Jacksonville is also 9-4, two games back of Indy in

   the AFC South and leading the wildcard race. Obviously, this

   is an important game for both clubs. Jacksonville has fared

   well on the road, winning at Denver, Kansas City, Tampa Bay

   and Tennessee and going 5-1 ATS for the year. They are coming

   off an easy win over the Panthers last week and are healthy

   as they have been all year. This has always been an intense

   rivalry since the Jaguars came into the league, featuring

   two tough, physical teams. Pittsburgh has the edge of playing

   at home, but David Garrard is playing some solid football

   and the Jaguars are certainly road tested. I have to take more

   than a field goal in what should be a tight, low-scoring game.

   TIM TRUSHEL

   BEST BET

   Seattle at Carolina +7 O/U 38

   Recommendation: Carolina

   The Panthers felt good about their win over San Francisco two

   weeks ago after a “solid” defensive effort. They forced turnovers

   and the offense broke a long standing funk of ineptitude to score

   their first TD at home in quite some time. The feelings wouldn’t

   last long as they got run over in Jacksonville last week and while

   they are still mathematically alive in the race for a playoff spot,

   the odds are impossibly long against them. To showcase how bad

   the offense has been, their leading passer is Vinny Testaverde

   who has all off 952 yards in six games. He was so bad last week

   (84 yards and one INT) he was benched in favor of Matt Moore.

   Seattle though is flying high after last week’s complete team victory

   over Arizona, a win that sealed the NFC West and a playoff

   berth. Seattle seems to be peaking at the right time and we would

   be surprised if they let up this week as they continue to march towards

   finding the spectacular play that led them to the Super Bowl

   two years ago. But how can you trust a team that has nothing left

   to prove in the regular season to lay more than a TD on the road?

   They have nearly no chance to catch Green Bay for the second

   seed in the NFC and they have long been a fade on the East Coast

   in early starts. Complacency will set in for Seattle who may win the

   game, but not by margin even against the punch-less Panthers.

   FAIRWAY JAY

   BEST BET

   Tennessee -4 at Kansas City O/U 34

   Recommendation: Under

   Tough recovery for the Titans following an emotional overtime

   loss to San Diego, as Tennessee blew a 14-point lead in the fourth

   quarter. The Titans wasted a huge defensive effort that saw

   them completely shut down the Chargers for 3-plus quarters.

   Now they are on the outside looking in for a wild card birth, and

   must travel to face a solid Kansas City defense that plays their

   best at home. The Titans’ offense has struggled all season facing

   quality defenses, and expect their strength of running the

   ball to pound away on the ground versus the Chiefs’ minor weakness

   of run defense. Meanwhile, Tennessee’s defense has been

   stellar this season, and shutting down the ‘impotent’ Chiefs’ offense

   should not be too difficult. Kansas City ranks 32st in total

   offense, and manages just 4.4 yards per play following an embarrassing

   showing and sixth-straight loss at Denver. They ran

   for just 16 yards and finished with 129 yards total offense. The

   Chiefs have scored 11 points or fewer in four of their last five

   games with a high of 17 points. Kansas City’s last three home

   games all went Under the total facing weaker defenses, and now

   KC will have to battle a strong defensive team desperate for a

   win. Both teams rely on their running game and short passing

   attack, and with a clean game void of defensive or special

   team’s scores, this one should stay under the already low total

   DONNIE BLACK

   BEST BET

   Indianapolis at Oakland +10 O/U 45

   Recommendation: Oakland

   Oakland was outgained 445 to 233 last week, including 179

   to 85 on the ground as they were manhandled by the Packers.

   For those holding Raiders “Over 5” season win totals, the

   final three weeks will be sweat out with tilts against the Colts,

   Jags and Chargers. As if it wasn’t bad enough, they may be

   without the services of RB Justin Fargas, who was ranked in

   the top ten in the league in rushing before he left with injured

   ribs last week. Indy was busy lighting up the Ravens on

   primetime TV as Fargas was icing his ribs. Peyton Manning

   threw three TDs in the first half and Joseph Addai (battling

   injury himself) added a pair of scores before taking a 37-7

   lead at the half. I am genuinely impressed by the Colts’ defense

   week in and week out; they are fast, sure tackling and

   playing with a ton of confidence, giving up just 275 yards and

   16 points per game. But now they have to turnaround after

   that TV game and fly across the country to play a team that

   was just blown out and has injury problems. To say their heads

   will be elsewhere may be an overstatement. Oakland, despite

   a lack of consistency under center and possibly without their

   best running back won’t quit on Kiffin. In fact, the Raiders fit

   a nice profile of profit making team over the final four weeks

   with new head coaches, making this a favorable situation after

   all to get double digits at home even against the Colt

   ED CASH

   BEST BET

   Philadelphia at Dallas -10.5 O/U 48.5

   Recommendation: Over

   This Dallas offense is as good as there is in the NFC and not too

   far off of the Patriots in the NFL. They have scored at will all year,

   and as they did once again last week against Detroit, scoring anytime

   they needed to score. Tony Romo continues to impress me

   with his head, arm and feet. He was cool, calm and collected in the

   game-winning drive against the Lions and it doesn’t hurt that he

   has weapons like Terrell Owens, Jason Whitten and the rest of the

   backs and receivers. Dallas also has gotten solid offensive line play

   all year, keeping the pressure off of Romo and allowing him to find

   open receivers. This week, the Cowboys will have no trouble scoring

   against the Philadelphia defense. They put up 434 yards and 38

   points against the Eagles in Philly last month and have averaged 33

   points per game for the year. If they get to 35 themselves, just 14

   Philly points would give us an over winner and that should be likely.

   The Eagles were held to 13 points last week by the Giants, but had

   scored 52 in their two previous games. They have actually been

   better on offense on the road lately and also have a healthy Donovan

   McNabb and Brian Westbrook. The Philly defense has struggled

   with good offenses all year and the blitzes should result in some

   big plays for the Cowboys. Quick scores always help over players.

   ERIN RYNNING

   BEST BET

   Washington at NY Giants -4.5 O/U 40.5

   Recommendation: Over

   Sunday night football will feature an NFC East clash as the

   Redskins trek to New York to play the Giants. No question,

   it’s been a long, grueling season for the 6-7 Redskins, while

   they’re facing a must win in this contest. On the field, the

   major news for the Redskins is the knee injury to quarterback

   Jason Campbell. He’ll be relieved by veteran Todd Collins.

   Keep in mind, Collins knows this complex Al Saunders offense

   like the back of his hand. The results were rock-solid in his

   relief appearance against the Bears where he completed 15-

   of-20 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns. I’ll look for

   more of the same and no real drop-off from this offensive

   unit. Meanwhile, the Giants are off two grinding road wins

   against Chicago and Philadelphia. Of course, we remember

   Eli Manning’s last game in Giants Stadium where he threw four

   interceptions in an embarrassing 41-17 loss. Again, in their

   last two road games you could see the simplifying of the offense,

   while the Giants tried to win with the running game and

   defense. Now, back at home, I’ll look for the Giants to open

   the playbook more, while Manning seeks redemption. All six

   road games of the Giants this year have gone UNDER the total,

   while five of six at home have trended OVER the total. We’ll

   look for that trend to continue as this one goes OVER the total.

   WINNING POINTS:- NFL

   ****BEST BET

   *Pittsburgh over Jacksonville by 24

   Pittsburgh losing big to New England by 21 points last week helped lower

   the betting line for this matchup. It’s set up a nice spot to get value and

   back Pittsburgh.The Patriots are not part of this world so throw last week’s

   34-13 result out. Do that and the Steelers look real good for this matchup.

   Consider before the Patriots game, Pittsburgh ranked No. 1 in scoring

   defense, allowing less than 13 points.They also were No. 1 in total defense,

   while ranking first in pass defense and second in run defense. Jacksonville

   has a solid defense, but it can’t match those statistics.The Jaguars have been

   cripple-shooting going 5-1 against non-winning clubs.The Jaguars also have

   several key defensive injuries. Out are middle linebacker Mike Peterson,

   pass rusher Reggie Hayward and probably tackle Marcus Stroud (check status),

   who was injured last Sunday after returning from a four-game suspension.

   Losing Stroud impacts Jacksonville’s run defense.Willie Parker can

   take advantage. It also makes Ben Roethlisberger’s play-action fakes more

   effective. Pittsburgh entered its matchup against New England allowing

   only one pass of more than 40 yards. It’s a plus if star safety Troy Polamalu

   can suit up after missing the past three games. The Jaguars are a run-oriented

   club.They don’t throw many downfield passes with David Garrard

   and his mediocre wide receivers. Fred Taylor is running well. He’s rushed

   for 340 yards the last three weeks. But he and Maurice Jones-Drew are

   going to find the running treacherous at Heinz Field, especially if there’s

   bad weather. Unlike the warm-weather Jaguars, the Steelers don’t mind

   winter conditions. They are 7-0 SU at home this season, 5-2 ATS. They’ve

   won by at least three touchdowns at home against four teams, including

   Seattle and Baltimore. PITTSBURGH 34-10.

   ***BEST BET

   *Kansas City over Tennessee by 13

   Chasing a wildcard spot, the Titans have been overpriced by the oddsmaker.

   Tennessee is much more enticing when it is taking points rather than

   being in the role of a favorite.The Titans are 3-4 ATS this season as chalk.

   The Titans also are in the midst of four losses in their last five games.They

   are off a very physical overtime home loss to San Diego. Games like that

   not only take a physical toll, but a mental one as well. Several Titans got

   banged up, including left guard Jacob Bell (check status). The Titans are

   being asked to cover as a mid-sized road favorite at Arrowhead Stadium,one

   of the toughest road venues in the NFL.The Chiefs have won and covered

   four of the past six times they’ve received points at Arrowhead Stadium. It’s

   Kansas City’s final home game of the season. So expect a supreme effort

   from Kansas City, especially after the Chiefs laid an egg last week in a

   shockingly inept performance against Denver.The Broncos humiliated the

   Chiefs, 41-7.The Chiefs’ defense let them down.Kansas City’s strength is its

   defense. Defensive end Jared Allen has become a dominant two-way player.

   Tamba Hali can rush the passer.The two have a combined 17 _ sacks.The

   linebackers are good, too.Vince Young is still learning the passing game.He

   has a horrific 7-to-14 touchdown-to-interception ratio. There’s an outside

   chance that Larry Johnson could return to the Chiefs’ lineup. He’s missed

   the past five games with a foot injury.The Chiefs have a young backfield,

   but there’s talent at the skill positions. Quarterback Brodie Croyle has a big

   arm, tailback Kolby Smith averaged 116.5 yards during his first two starts

   and lead wide receiver Dwayne Bowe is a big, imposing target.All Pro tight

   end Tony Gonzalez is having another big season. He’s a nice security blanket

   for Croyle. KANSAS CITY 26-13.

   **PREFERRED

   *San Diego over Detroit by 22

   Jon Kitna isn’t exactly Nostradamus when it comes to predictions. Kitna

   would have been more accurate if he would have said the Lions would lose

   10 games rather than win 10 games. That’s the direction Detroit is going

   having lost five in a row.Things are only going to get worse for the Lions

   this week following their morale-sinking blown home lead last Sunday

   against Dallas. Now the Lions go on the road to face one of the better AFC

   teams, San Diego. The Chargers are 5-1 SU and ATS at home this season.

   They have won four of their past five matchups. Detroit is 1-4 SU and ATS

   on the road this year.The Lions have been outscored by an average score

   of 34-14 away from Ford Field. Kitna is beat-up. His offensive line has yielded

   51 sacks. Shawne Merriman is coming on after a slow start. He’s recorded

   six sacks during the past three games. San Diego’s improved its run

   defense.That’s not good news for a Detroit ground game that’s mostly been

   dormant with such awful performances as a minus 18-yard rush effort versus

   Arizona, 23 yards rushing against Minnesota and 25 yards on the ground

   versus the Giants. Don’t forget the Lions are without their best pass receiver,

   Roy Williams. The Lions haven’t had a winning season since 2000.

   Nothing has changed SAN DIEGO 32-10.

   Green Bay over *St. Louis by 21

   The gap between good and bad teams this year in the NFL is much stronger

   than in previous seasons.The Packers are definitely a ‘have’ team.They are

   back clicking on all cylinders with the return of punt returner Will

   Blackmon pumping up the special teams. Green Bay’s defense remains

   solid and its offense has become balanced with the emergence of Ryan

   Grant, who has rushed for 558 yards and scored four touchdowns in the

   last five weeks. Grant is averaging 5.4 yards per carry during this span making

   a resurgent Brett Favre more dangerous.The Rams’ beat-up secondary

   can’t stay with Green Bay’s talented wideouts.There hasn’t been a better

   road team than the Packers under Mike McCarthy. Green Bay has won

   seven of its past eight road contests, losing only at Dallas when several key

   injured defensive starters were out, including Charles Woodson and Kabeer

   Gbaja-Biamila. Both Woodson and Gbaja-Biamila are healthy.The Rams, on

   the other hand, have failed to cover eight of their last 11 home games.

   Green Bay is a fantastic 11-2-1 (84 percent) ATS in its past 14 games.The

   Rams still could be stuck with third-stringer Brock Berlin if Marc Bulger

   (concussion) and Gus Frerotte (shoulder) remain out.That would make this

   even more of mismatch. GREEN BAY 34-13.

   **OVER: New York Jets at New England – Bill Belichick won’t have

   any qualms running up a score against Eric Mangini, whose offense has

   picked up with the quarterback switch to Kellen Clemens

    Broncos @Texans under 47

    Selection and analysis by Kevin O’Neill

    This is a meaningful game for this pair of 6-7 teams,

    as if the season was over right now, a 7-6 team

    would be an AFC Wild Card team. Though there are

    teams ahead of them, the winner will move to 7-7

    and will still be alive (though in need of help) in the

    playoff chase. With relatively inexperienced teams,

    especially at quarterback, playing in a meaningful

    big game, don’t be surprised at all if both of these

    coaches go conservative and have trouble trusting

    their young play callers. Mike Shanahan in particular

    may struggle to cut Jay Cutler loose. Cutler is a

    much better quarterback at home than he is on the

    road, with a 12/6 TD to INT ratio at home but

    struggling on that road with only 5 touchdown

    passes to 6 interceptions. Denver’s D is playing

    better than people realize. On Sunday 10 of Kansas

    City’s 12 possessions were 3 plays or less. And

    while that was against a horrendously weak offense,

    they’re previous two games weren’t nearly as poor

    defensively as it appeared. At Oakland, turnover

    inside of their own territory led to 31 of the Raiders

    34 points, and at Chicago you’ll recall that special

    teams miscues resulted in three Bears TD’s.

    Sage Rosenfels has played better than Matt Schaub

    (higher rating, better TD/INT ratio) and with

    Schaub’s dislocated shoulder, the backup is

    supposed to go again here. But when you look

    inside the Texans box score on Sunday, it does not

    inspire confidence that an offensive surge is on the

    way. The Texans scored four TD’s on Sunday, and

    three involved events other than impressive

    offensive drives. Houston scored on a kickoff return

    for a touchdown to start the second half and two of

    their touchdown “drives” were 23 and 17 yards.

    They gained less than 4 yards per play on Sunday in

    what on the surface seems to be an offensively

    productive win but was actually anything else.

    Meanwhile their young defense continues to be

    better than people realize. With both teams

    possessing better D’s than people realize, young

    unproven quarterbacks in a big game, and these two

    teams playing games with a lot of accidental points

    lately, we’ll look for this game to go under the total

    Sunday, December 16th, 2007

    @Dolphins (+3½) over Ravens

    Selection and analysis by Dave Fobare

    As a technical handicapper it has been difficult to

    stay away from the Dolphins almost on a weekly

    basis. As soon as Miami hit the 0-5 mark a lot of

    sensible, longstanding technical material came into

    play. And as long as the Dolphins kept losing, the

    same systems kept popping up the next weekend,

    calling the tech-minded capper like a siren. I'm

    going to try and make a case for a play on Miami

    WITHOUT resorting to some trumped up version of

    the systems that other handicappers have bandied

    about over the past two months.

    Bad teams generally carry pretty bad habits, and the

    Dolphins are no exception. Instead of truly playing

    one game at a time, bad NFL teams sometimes peek

    ahead on the schedule to see if the following week's

    game is against a beatable opponent. Of particular

    interest here is what happens when an elite

    opponent is on deck. The curious result is the bad

    team will often play inspired ball, probably on the

    assumption they have little chance the next week.

    Miami has a game against undefeated New England

    on tap, and its fair to say the line on the Patriots

    could well rise above -24. This scheduling quirk

    triggers a 106-44 ATS "lookahead" system that

    features bad teams that have premier opponents

    waiting in the wings. This system is 3-2 ATS in 2007,

    with its last occurrence on these same Dolphins as

    they covered as +11 over Philadelphia in a 17-7 loss

    back on November 18. And what was on deck for

    Miami after the Philly game? That now renowned

    mud bowl on Monday night against Pittsburgh.

    The Dolphins should come into this game in much

    better physical shape than the Ravens. Baltimore

    enters off four consecutive games against winning

    opponents (Indianapolis, New England, San Diego

    and Cleveland) whose combined record is 40-12.

    Miami's previous two opponents have a combined

    record of just 10-16. This stark difference triggers a

    101-50 ATS general NFL system that wins with

    teams that are simply fresher from having faced

    relatively weak opposition.

    As bad as the Dolphins are this is only the first

    season under the current regime. The same coaches

    will likely be around next season, so players should

    be worried about their 2008 jobs. And no one

    wearing a Miami uniform will be able to get away

    from the media comparisons of them with the undefeated Dolphins' squad of 1972. There is plenty

    of motivation for Miami. But it really looks as though

    the Ravens are trying to get their coach Brian Billick

    fired. A loss at Miami would almost certainly seal the

    deal. Take the points in what should be a snoozer of

    a game. Miami by 3

    Bills (+5½) over @Browns

    Selection and analysis by Matty Baiungo

    Coming into this season, neither a crystal ball nor

    the best physic in the world could have predicted

    that this game would have huge playoff implications.

    The Bills and Browns? Well it is a huge game for

    both after both won again last week while the Titans

    gave away a win to the Chargers. Cleveland

    currently sits in the #6 spot in the wildcard race at

    8-5, but they are just one game ahead of the Bills

    who are 7-6. So if Buffalo can win this game, the

    two would be tied for the final spot. But we don’t

    need the Bills to win here. We just need a close

    game, and with the importance it has and the fact

    that neither team has been in this situation before,

    both teams will feel the pressure, which will result in

    a game that’s decided late.

    Buffalo has won six of their last eight, and their

    confidence is sky high according to rookie

    quarterback Trent Edwards: "We're starting to

    believe in what the coaches are saying and what the

    team leaders are saying. We feel pretty confident

    right now." And they should considering this. Five

    of their six losses have come against the leagues

    best: Pittsburgh, New England twice, Dallas, and

    Jacksonville. The other loss was a 15-14 decision to

    Denver in the season opener. The Bills allowed 36.2

    points per game and 443 yards per game in those

    defeats. But there’s no shame there because those

    5 teams are doing it to everybody. In their 7 wins

    which all came against either equal or lesser

    competition, the Bills allowed just 13.5 points per

    game and 291 yards per game. And the defensive

    difference in the wins and losses is huge. How

    about a better than 3 touchdown difference in points

    allowed (22.7 points per game) and a football field

    and a half less in yardage allowed (152 yards per

    game). Buffalo’s offensive numbers are close to the

    same in their wins and losses, they are not good not

    matter which way you slice it.

    Cleveland has also won 6 of their last 8, but

    according to Jamal Lewis, their job is done: "We're

    in the playoffs right now." Not quite J-Lew, you still

    have 3 games to play. And the way their defense

    allows points, a bad offense like Buffalo should be

    able to put up points. Taking out the 2 games vs.

    Pittsburgh and the one vs. New England, the Browns

    defense allows similar defensive numbers. Overall,

    they allow 27.4 points per game vs. 25.7 without the

    Steelers and Patriots while the yardage is 389 to

    huge defensive edge over Cleveland. Lower scoring The bottom line here is that Buffalo holds a

    huge defensive edge over Cleveland. Lower scoring

    games are usually played when playoff implications

    are on the line, and that would also favor the Bills.

    These two also played 4 common opponents at the

    same venues, and the line evaluation greatly favors

    the Bills. At Pittsburgh, both teams were 10-point

    underdogs. At home vs. the Bengals, Buffalo was

    just a 1-point dog while the Browns were a 7½-

    point dog. Also at home, the Bills were a 3-point

    dog to the Ravens while the Browns were a 4-point

    dog. The only difference came at the Jets where

    Buffalo was a 3-point dog and Cleveland laid 3½ last

    week. That line history tells us that these two are

    rated real close in the eye of the linesmaker so the

    points look real juicy here. Bills by 1.

    Jaguars (+4) over @Steelers

    Selection and analysis by Kevin O’Neill

    In this intriguing battle of 9-4 clubs, we simply feel

    that Jacksonville is the better team than Pittsburgh.

    A lot of their numbers both offensively and

    defensively are very similar, but there are two things

    that make us rate Jacksonville higher. First of all,

    the Jags lost their quarterback for almost four full

    games, and it was a big dropoff to backup Quinn

    Gray. Jack del Rio decided on David Garrard in the

    preseason, cut loose Byron Leftwich, and it was

    absolutely the right decision. Garrard has continued

    to avoid interceptions and has been extremely

    efficient overall. 65% completions and 13 TD’s to

    only a single interception are tremendous numbers.

    The second factor is the strength of schedule. We

    shouldn’t punish the Steelers too severely for getting

    squashed by the top team in football on the road.

    And we shouldn’t laud the Jags too much for rolling

    over one of the worst teams in the league at home,

    the reality is that the Steelers have played a

    significantly easier schedule than the Jaguars have.

    So similar numbers without their QB for four games

    and against a stronger schedule actually favor

    Jacksonville.

    And right now, the Jaguars are playing their best

    football of the season. In their big win over

    Carolina, Marcus Stroud turned an ankle in his first

    game back from his performance enhancing drugs

    suspension, and his status is unclear for this

    weekend, but everything else was good. Fred

    Taylor ran wild, with a power and burst that belies

    his age. Cornerback Rashean Mathis shut down

    Steve Smith. The Jaguars have excellent special

    teams play, not only at the skill positions, but

    possessing the league’s #1 kickoff coverage unit as

    well. The Steelers are obviously a very sound team,

    but overrated by playing a lot of nationally televised

    games against some poor teams. The Jaguars are a

    very sound team that gets far less publicity. Jags

    by 3.

    @Giants (-4½) over Redskins

    Selection and analysis by Erik Scheponik

    Sure, this would be a great story if Washington

    could pull this one off and stay in the NFC playoff

    race, considering all that this team has been through

    the last couple of weeks. They rallied tremendously

    against Chicago in an emotional win last week,

    keeping their postseason hopes alive. However, in

    retrospect perhaps the best thing they could have

    done was get back out on the field rather quickly

    with two games within 10 days of the Sean Taylor

    tragedy. Now they have had some extra time for

    things to sink in, and although I don’t want to play

    psychologist here, I’m not sure I can trust this team

    from a betting standpoint. There has to be a

    letdown sooner or later. Even if they can somehow

    keep bringing it every week, are they good enough

    to beat the Giants? A win over Chicago certainly

    doesn’t mean much nowadays, and although Todd

    Collins looked excellent in relief of Jason Campbell

    last week, what opposing QB hasn’t looked good

    against Chicago lately? The Skins must now take to

    the road and beat one of the NFL’s top 10 teams

    without their offensive and defensive leaders, a very

    tall task indeed.

    The Giants have not played particularly well at home

    this year (3-3 SU/ATS as compared to 5-1 SU/4-

    2ATS on the road) but I think that will only serve to

    motivate them here today. They answered a couple

    of gut checks the last two weeks on the road after

    losing a fluky game at home to Minnesota a couple

    of weeks back. Their other 3 losses on the season

    are to Dallas twice and Green Bay, and as they

    continue to get healthy, it is apparent that there

    really aren’t many holes on this team. The Giants

    have had the talent for a while now, but that talent

    is finally translating to wins. They remember their

    collapse down the stretch last season, and with a

    road game at red-hot Buffalo and New England at

    home to close out the season, I expect complete

    focus here as they try to lock up a home playoff

    game. They have won and covered 3 straight

    against Washington, and Eli Manning is playing the

    best ball of his career. Their pass rush is among the

    league’s best and could cause problems for backup

    QB Collins, who really had an easy time of it against

    the Bears.

    Washington will give a huge effort here, but it

    simply won’t be enough. They are playing against a

    superior opponent, and you have to wonder how

    much will be left in the tank if/when they fall behind.

    NY Giants by 10

    Bears (+9½) over @Vikings

    Selection and analysis by Kevin O’Neill

    Another less than scintillating matchup for the poor

    ESPN crew. The Bears didn’t play badly in their loss

    to the Redskins last Thursday. They outgained the

    Redskins 356-345 and enjoyed a 22-15 first down

    advantage. They lost the turnover battle 2-1 and

    that hurt them. Obviously the Bears have fallen

    victim to the Super Bowl loser hex and are merely

    playing out the string. But there is reason to

    expect a big (for them) performance out of them

    here. All kinds of poor matchups have dimmed the

    luster of Monday Night Football in the eyes of the

    sporting public. But the players know that this is the

    one game each week that is being watched by their

    colleagues across the league. And at this time of

    the year with a team out of the mix the players

    know that the coaches and personnel folks around

    the league are watching as well, and with a lot of

    Bears probably on their way to other places next

    season it wouldn’t hurt to give those folks a head

    start on making a positive impression before they do

    their player evaluation and make it a positive. Kyle

    Orton gets the start here and really, is that a

    downgrade? The guy hasn’t really played since being

    a serviceable game-manager a couple of years ago.

    He was very limited then, but maybe he’s learned

    something in the past couple of years.

    We pointed out how the Bears had some

    advantages in their Thursday night loss that didn’t

    make it to the scoreboard. When you look inside

    the Vikings win over the Niners in San Francisco on

    Sunday, it is jarring to see how little Minnesota

    actually did. The Vikings gained only 280 yards and

    had all kinds of trouble sustaining offense, notching

    only 11 first downs. Chester Taylor popped a 84-

    yard TD run but on the other 55 offensive plays the

    Vikings gained only 196 yards, including 33 yards

    rushing on 30 carries (Adrian Peterson had only 3

    yards rushing on 14 carries). The Niners handed

    them a short INT return TD on the game’s first play

    and from there on it was a cakewalk to beat the

    worst offensive team in the league. The offense did

    little other than that long Taylor TD run the rest of

    the game. It was a “silver platter” game that the

    49ers basically handed to the VIkes.

    The Vikings do have the better offense and the

    better defense. But that’s why this line opened at 10

    before wisely being bet down. And getting nearly

    double digits with a team that was -3½ early in their Super

    Bowl year here last season seems to have some inherent

    value. With the extra time off (Thursday to Monday night

    is the longest possible rest in the NFL without a bye week)

    and with their colleagues around the league watching this

    one, expect the Bears to give a top effort. But it speaks to

    how far Chicago has fallen that the top effort won’t be

    enough to get the win. Vikings by only 4.

    Momentum Favorite: Play on any NFL road favorite that scored at least 40 points in the

    previous game now facing a team that won S/U as an underdog in the last game.

    Pointspread Record Since 1996: 11-4 (73%)

    This week’s application: Denver Broncos over Houston Texans

    Roger and out (in honor of Roger King): Play against any NFL favorite in their final road

    game of the season, with BB home games on deck, versus an opponent off a loss.

    Pointspread Record since 1980: 13-3 (81%)

    This week’s application: Oakland Raiders (play against the Indianapolis Colts)

    Last week we began our coverage of the college Bowl season with some general observations as well as by presenting our annual Strength of Conference analysis.

    This week we begin our analyses and selections of each college Bowl, beginning with the first two Bowl games, the Poinsettia Bowl, which shall be played next Thursday, December 20 in San Diego, California, and the New Orleans Bowl, to be played the next night, Friday, December 21.

    Because there are a total of 32 Bowl games this season we have decided to spread out our analyses and selections over several issues, perhaps even necessitating a "Bowls Only" issue. This will enable us to give even greater scrutiny to each matchup in order to provide selections that come with even greater confidence than in seasons past.

    As we have done for many seasons we will have selections on both Sides and Totals in every Bowl game, using a five tiered scale to indicate the strength of selections. Here's how the Star ratings relate to the strength of the recommendations/opinions:

    Rating Strength of Selection Units or % of Bankroll

    5 Star Best of the Best - Our Strongest Recommendation 3.0 Units - 5.0% of BR

    4 Star A Best Bet - A Strong Recommendation 2.0 Units - 3.0% of BR

    Poinsettia Bowl - Thursday, December 20, 2007 - San Diego, CA

    Utah (8-4 s/u, 7-5 ATS) vs. Navy (8-4 s/u, 4-7 ATS)

    Opening Line: Utah - 9 ½, currently - 9; Opening Total 67, currently 66

    The major news surrounding this game is the departure of Navy coach Johnson who has taken the head job at Georgia Tech and will not coach the Midshipmen in this Bowl. Johnson had unprecedented success at Navy and the program is making their fifth straight Bowl trip. In the last four Bowls Navy is 2-2 s/u and 3-1 ATS, covering each of the past 3 years. Both of the wins came against fellow members of Utah's Mountain West Conference. There is some continuity for Navy, however, as assistant Niumatalolo was promoted. The status of other assistants is uncertain as to whether they will stay or join Johnson at Tech and could be a distraction. Fundamentally Navy does one thing - run the ball - but does it very well, leading the nation with 352 ypg, rushing for at least 250 yards in every game. Utah has been above average defensively, allowing 131 ypg. Utah played a tougher schedule which featured 6 games against teams going to Bowls. The Utes went 3-3 S/U and ATS in those games with wins over UCLA, TCU and New Mexico and losses to Oregon State, Air Force and BYU. Navy also faced Air Force and won 31-20, but was outgained 474-381 (Utah as outgained by Air Force 390-313 in their 20-12 loss). But Navy lost to the other 3 Bowlers faced (Rutgers, Ball State, Wake Forest) and also lost a wild 59-52 game to Delaware, which plays for the FCS (I-AA) title this Friday against Appalachian State. Utah is also making a fifth straight Bowl appearance after going 4-0 S/U and ATS the past 4 seasons. They have the advantage of internal stability and has several weeks to prepare for the one dimensional Navy attack. Utah has the better athletes and, against a tougher schedule, allowed nearly 3 touchdowns per game less than Navy. They are well coached and should be prepared to defend the Navy running game and forcing Navy to pass, especially if Utah gets a comfortable lead. Navy ranks dead last in passing at 93 ypg while Utah has a top 20 pass defense. Utah's regional advantage at this sight may be more than offset by the strong Naval presence in San Diego. Ultimately the better balanced Utah offense (164 rush ypg, 199 pass ypg) and a huge edge on defense (319 ypg vs 438 ypg) is the difference. The call is for Utah to win the opening game of the Bowl season 34-20, making UTAH a 2 Star Selection and the UNDER also a 2 Star Selection .

    New Orleans Bowl - Friday, December 21, 2007 - New Orleans, LA

    Florida Atlantc (7-5 s/u, 7-5 ATS) vs. Memphis (7-5 s/u, 6-4-1 ATS)

    Opening Line: Florida Atlantic - 2 ½, currently - 2 ½; Opening Total 67, currently 67

    After missing out last year Memphis makes their fourth Bowl appearance in the past 5 seasons and a second trip to this Bowl. In 2003 Memphis, favored by 4, defeated Sun Belt champion North Texas 27-17. They split their Bowls the next two years, both S/U and ATS, against a pair of MAC teams. Florida Atlantic is making their first ever Bowl appearance after winning the Sun Belt title with their 38-32 win at conference power Troy as 16 point underdogs. But such an upset is nothing new for FAU coach Schnellenberger who, a generation ago, won the 1983 National Title at Miami with their dramatic 31-30 Orange Bowl win over unbeaten Nebraska as an 11 point underdog. Not bad for a program that did not even exist until 2001 and is competing at the FBS (I-A) level for just the fourth season! As noted last week, there is not a big gap in conference strength between Memphis' Conference USA and the Sun Belt. Both teams played Middle Tennessee this season. FAU won their contest in the season opener 27-14, outgaining MTSU at home 411-217. In mid season MTSU won at Memphis 21-7, outgaining their hosts 490-248. Both also played Arkansas State with similar results. FAU won on the road 34-31, outgaining ASU 373-256. Memphis blew a huge lead in their 35-31 loss ASU while barely winning the yardage battle 395-389. Against their only BCS foe Memphis lost their season opener at Ole Miss, 23-21 and one of their 7 wins was against a I-AA foe. FAU played 5 BCS teams, losing to Florida, Oklahoma State, South Carolina and Kentucky while defeating Minnesota. Fundamentally Memphis' edge on offense is offset by FAU's edge on defense and FAU did play the tougher overall schedule based on those non-Sun Belt games. But they are a virgin Bowl favorite and teams with no recent Bowl experience have fared very poorly going back nearly 3 decades. When favored against a foe with at least one Bowl game in the previous two seasons those favorites are just 11-17-1 ATS. Still the line appears suspiciously low and Memphis has talent on their roster. The coaching edge belongs to FAU. Memphis did close well, winning 5 of their last 6 games. In one of the less attractive matchups of th Bowl season the call is for Memphis to pull the mild upset, winning 37-34, making MEMPHIS a 1 Star Selection and the OVER a 2 Star Selection .

    In next week's issue we shall look at the 9 Bowl games to be played between December 22 and 28.

    NFL SELECTION OF THE WEEK: KANSAS CITY + 4 over Tennessee - Tennessee let an important game get away last week with their fourth quarter collapse against San Diego. That loss left the Titans a game behind Cleveland for the second AFC Wild Card and was their fourth loss in the last five games. Kansas City's season all but ended a month and a half ago with the injury to star RB Johnson. With QB already a weak position the lack of a potent running game doomed the Chiefs, who may well finish with their worst record in more than a decade. This is the Chiefs' final home games and even in lean years they have ended their home seasons on a strong note, going 19-9-1 against the spread in their regular season home finale since 1978, including 6-0 as a home underdog. Tennessee has fared much better at home even though their home (4-3) and road (3-3) records are close. Aside from an early season 31-14 win at New Orleans, their 2 other road wins have been by just 2 and 3 points. The Chiefs should be highly motivated to end their overall 6 game losing streak, 4 of which occurred at home where they are just 2-5. KC has been one of the most stable franchises for decades and since the NFL expanded to a 16 game schedule in 1978, aside from the strike season of 1982 when they went 2-2, the Chiefs have never won fewer than 3 home games. Upset here as the pressure is all on the Wild Card seeking Titans. Kansas City wins 23-17.

    Other Featured NFL Selections :

    Buffalo + 5 ½ over CLEVELAND - Believe it or not this is a battle for the second AFC Wild Card. At 7-6 the Bills trail the Browns by a game so a win here gives them the all important tie breaker edge. Cleveland's impressive offensive stats are almost offset by their league-worst defense, allowing 390 yards per game. Buffalo's offense is improved with rookie Edwards at QB and fellow rookie RB Lynch again healthy. Cleveland has had problems holding onto leads which makes the underdog attractive. Buffalo has faced a fairly tough schedule with 5 of their 13 foes already having at least 9 wins. In fact, against other than that quintet of teams (who are a combined 56-9), none of those 8 teams has tallied more than 21 points against the Bills and the average score against those 8 has Buffalo winning by an average of 20.5 to 13.8, winning 7 of the 8. Only 1 loss has been to a team with a losing record (15-14 to Denver in the season opener). Cleveland has lost twice to losing teams. They have covered 7 of their last 8 games and are 10-3 ATS overall, but they are now favored by the largest number of points since 2002. Buffalo pulls the upset, winning 27-24.

    SAN DIEGO - 10 over Detroit - Both teams come in off of physically and emotionally draining games that featured opposite results. Detroit's lost 5 in a row and last week's last minute home loss to Dallas may have effectively ended their season. San Diego overcame a 17-3 fourth quarter deficit in Tennessee to force OT, eventually winning on a Tomlinson touchdown run. That made it 3 straight and 7 of 9 wins for the surging Chargers, who have the talent to be a spoiler in the Playoffs. The Lions have the league's second worst defense that will be challenged by the San Diego running game. Detroit's 2 road wins have been against losing teams while their 4 road losses have been by 35, 31, 10 and 32 points. And only one of THOSE losses was to a winning team (42-10 at 7-6 Minnesota). 6 of the Chargers' 8 wins have been by double digits and they are 7-3 ATS as favorites in 2007 despite a sluggish start. San Diego wears down Detroit, winning 37-17.

    MINNESOTA - 10 over Chicago (Monday night) - Last season's Super Bowl runner up has suffered the fate of many recent almost champs. Chicago is 5-8 and will miss the Playoffs. The defense which carried them to the Super Bowl last season ranks # 29 this season, allowing 355 yards per game, including 124 vs the rush (# 27). Minnesota is surging at the right time behind their #1 ranked rush offense and #1 ranked rush defense. The Bears are almost the opposite, ranking near the bottom in both rushing stats (#31 on offense, 82 ypg and # 27 defense, 124 ypg). Minnesota is getting much improved QB play from Jackson, who figured to struggle early in his first season as starter. The Bears' QB situation continues to be a mess and they have been thinned out at RB due to injuries. Aside from KR Hester, the Bears do not have much. Minny won the earlier meeting 34-31 and although this is a rivalry and points, especially this many, usually are attractive, it's tough to make a case for the banged up Bears. The Vikes have won each of their last 3 games by at least 24 points and 5 of their 7 wins have been by at least 18 points. Minnesota wins in prime time, 30-13..

    AWESOME ANGLEOF THE WEEK

    Marc's Awesome Angle Of The Week Wins 67% In PLAYBOOK Last Four Years!

    PLAY AGAINST any sub .400 NFL team in Game 14 if this is their final road game of the season and they are off a SU & ATS loss

    PLAY AGAINST: CHICAGO BEARS

    Monday, December 17th

    5★ BEST BET

    Don’t look now, Martha, but here come the Vikings. Given up for

    lost at 2-5, they’ve stormed their way in to playoff contention.

    In an earlier meeting this season, Minnesota edged the Bears

    in Chicago, 34-31. Da Bears enter tonight’s contest 14-25 SUATS

    on Mondays since 1980, including 1-10 ATS versus an opponent

    off a SUATS win. Minny counters at 6-1 ATS under the Monday

    Night lights off a win when going into revenge. Oh yeah, our

    AWESOME ANGLE (see page 2) confi rms the fact that the Bears

    are off into early hibernation. Enough said. Just do it!

    4★ BEST BET

    NFL games during the fi nal four games of the season involving

    .666 or better teams squaring off against one another have

    seen the road dog bring home the bacon 62% of the time.

    Better yet, if they beat their home favored opponent in the

    most recent meeting, they are 19-9 ATS. Toss in Jack Del Rio’s

    glossy 13-7 ATS record as a dog versus .700 or better opposition

    and it certainly instills confi dence. With favorites just 8-22 ATS

    in games after tackling the Patriots, and Pitt shell-shocked off

    last week’s disappointing effort at New England, look for the

    Jags to pounce on this opportunity.

    3★ BEST BET

    G-Men came up big again last week while the Redskins overcame

    the melodrama of the Sean Taylor saga to get past the Bears last

    Thursday. The Skins are 8-1 ATS with revenge against a division

    foe off a win when their record is below .500. And don’t forget

    Joe Gibbs’ 28-15-1 ATS mark as a dog ‘down the stretch’ during

    the fi nal four games of the season, including 19-7 when taking

    more than 3 points. Until the RIP offi cially goes up, we’ll race to

    the wire with Gibbs’ team.
