2-Unit Play. Take #272 New York Giants (-3) over New York Jets (8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 29)
This is my Game of the Week and I expect the Giants to bounce back from their weak performance in Chicago last week. The Giants want to defend their home turf here. And all week they've been hearing about the hotshot rookie quarterback that's now starting for the crosstown rivals. Well, I think that the Giants defense are going to want to get after young Mark Sanchez. The Jets were getting soundly beaten by the Ravens on Monday night until they made a really fortunate comeback. I don't think that the Giants will let up in the same way. The favorite is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these teams and I think that the G-Men are the much stronger club. The Jets should be winded after a short week and following a pretty emotional Monday night game against their coach's ex-team. This one is all Big Blue.

1-Unit Play. Take #265 Tennessee (Pk) over Cleveland (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 29)
Cleveland scored a blowout win over a rookie quarterback and an 0-16 team last week. But that doesn't mean much to me. The Titans lost by 20 in Dallas and I am sure that Jeff Fisher has them fired up and ready to this week on the road. Cleveland still has quarterback issues and will be resting some of its best defenders. The Titans were 13-3 last year and have more depth at the key positions. This one might be low scoring but I don't see any way that the Browns come out with a win.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #278 Atlanta (-2.5) over San Diego (8 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 29)
San Diego is 2-0 SU and ATS this preseason and now they have to travel cross-country to square off with a Falcons team that is playing its first home game. I think that's a big advantage for the Falcons. San Diego has been beat up and resting its guys all week in practice. I really don't think that they are going to take this game to seriously. Atlanta will want to put on a show for the hometown folks and I think that they will manage to do just that. This one all comes down to which team does this game matter to more. And it's Atlanta.

2-Unit Play. Take #910 Philadelphia (-1.5, +115) over Atlanta (7 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 29)
Cliff Lee has been taking care of business since coming over to the Phillies. Philadelphia has won five straight starts by Lee and with Ryan Howard hitting as well as he has been I think the Phillies offense is ready to snap out of its funk. Philadelphia is 20-7 at home and they have a chance to all but lock up the division with a big series this weekend. I think they get another big win.
