I am going back with the Indians for the win tonight. I have Indians starter David Huff as 7-1 SU when the line is between -125 and 130. I also have the Mariners as 6-31 SU since 2007 as a road dog when they blew a lead in their starters last start and lost. Take the Indians for another win
*200 Atlanta Falcons -3
What a great spot for the Falcons tonight. Marc Bulger will not play and Kyle Boller gets the start. Boller threw for just 25 yards on three of nine passing in last week. The Rams' running game was a good against New York, compiling 193 yards on the ground. However Atlanta has a strong defense and will come prepared to stop the run. The Rams are 2-4 ATS in their previous six home contests in the preseason. Head coaches in their first full season coaching their initial home game in the preseason are 1-8 ATS and 2-7 SU since 2008. The Falcons have been strong in preseason play under Mike Smith, going 4-1 ATS since his debut.
Take the Flacons and feel comfortable with laying 3 for the win.
*300 Minnesota Vikings -3
Good news for Minny backers just got better. Favre will start and KC is 0-5 in week 2 of preseason play.
Favre will start for Minnesota and this creates quite a fight for the rest of the qb's to just remain on the team. Tarvaris Jackson, will see substantial time in this game. Sage Rosenfels may not play due to an injury. Minnesota is a perfect 3-0 ATS in the second game of the preseason the last three seasons. The Chiefs are struggling they lost at home in Todd Haley's debut, 16-10 to the Texans. Kansas City has not been the best preseason play over the last two-plus seasons. Including the loss to Houston, the Chiefs are 1-8 ATS since the start of the 2007 season. So under Herm Edwards, the Chiefs didn't play to win the preseason games.
Feel comfortable tonight with the Vikings. The battle of qbs will create some tough and competitive play from all the minny qbs.
*300 Dallas Cowboys -4
The Cowboys are 6-1 in week two of preseason play in the last 7 years. Tony Romo saw limited action in loss last week, but did toss a touchdown pass. Romo is expected to see more time against Tennessee. Dallas is 3-3 ATS as a favorite since 2007 in the preseason. The one that scares me about tonight is Since 2002, teams playing their first game in a new stadium in the preseason are 0-5 ATS. I am going to wave this trend off becuase I believe in the crowd factor and that the Dallas fans will push for win tonight.
This line is moving FAST and believe it or not only 38% of the public is betting ont he Cowboys. Call it smart or wiseguy money I don't care, but someone knows something about this game.
Feel good about your wager tonight and shop around to make sure you get the best line.
*200 Cleveland Indians -124
I am going back with the Indians for the win tonight. I have Indians starter David Huff as 7-1 SU when the line is between -125 and 130. I also have the Mariners as 6-31 SU since 2007 as a road dog when they blew a lead in their starters last start and lost. Take the Indians for another win.
*200 Royals +102
I am taking the Royals as a Home Dog tonight. I have two trends against Twins starter Nick Blackburn that total 2-21 SU. I also have the Twins as 7-19 SU since 2004 on the road after a loss in which they drew 1 or fewer walks and it is the first series of a game. Take the Home Dog for the Win.
*200 Tampa Bay Rays -171
I am taking the Rays for the win tonight. I have the Rays starter Scott Kazmir as 15-1 SU when he is a home favorite and line greater than -130 and opponent starter left more than 13 on base. I also have the Rays as 20-5 SU since 2004 as a favorite after a loss in which they drew 1 or fewer walks. Finally, I have the Rays as 19-5 SU since 2005 as a home 140+ favorite when they came back from a deficit to win in their starter's last start. Take the Rays and the Win.
*300 Pittsburgh Pirates -138
I am taking the Pirates for a big win over the Reds tonight. I have the Reds as 9-26 SU since 2004 as a dog after scoring 3 runs or less and winning. I also have the Reds as 1-11 SU since 2004 after win in which they drew 1 or fewer walks and it is the first game of the series. Finally, I have the Pirates as 32-12 since 2006 as a home favorite vs a team that has a better record. Take the Pirates for the win.
