5 Dime Play Take NY Giants -1 The Giants are coming off 2 losses and I just can't see 3 in a row, not against the Eagles who could have lost last week against Washington if it wasn't for Washington's turnovers. Now that would have been pretty lucky for Washington, but still Philly didn't even score in the 2nd half. Eli needs more time in the pocket that's for sure and he will be tested again in Philly. Mario Manningham is Questionable for the Giants, but I expect him to play in this kind of big game, where the Giants need a win. The Giants are 2-0 in the NFC East and going into Philly for this NFC East showdown, coming off of 2 losses is a perfect spot for this type of team to bounce back. Omar Gaither is listed as OUT for this game, which will soften up the middle for the Giants run game. Also Brian Westbrook is listed as Questionable and did not practice this week after suffering a concussion last week. Look for the Giants to bounce back and win 21-17.
2 Dime Bonus Play Under 44.5 This is a straight situational play as the under the total is 23-13 in the last 36 games of the NYG-PHI series, also Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
4 DIME PLAY
Denver@Baltimore
4 Dime Play Take Denver +3.5 Wow, who would have thought the Broncos would be 6-0 right now? The Ravens have been struggling lately and are not sure exactly if they are an actual contender this year. Denver is riding high and has much more power than anyone thought. Denver has the #2 defense and is #1 in points allowed. Orton has thrown for 9 TDs this season with only 1 INT, he is also sitting at number 7 in QB rating (100.1), yeah Orton. As long as Denver has a good game plan to stop Ray Rice on the ground, I believe Denver keeps rolling and keeps playing as a complete unit and with the leagues #1 sack specialist (Elvis Dumervil 10 sacks) they probably do. Both teams are coming off a bye week, so both teams will be rested, even better for an undefeated team heading into Baltimore. Denver is also 6-0 ATS this season. Take the undefeated underdog.
3.5 DIME PLAY
Houston@Buffalo
3.5 Dime Play Take Houston -3 (buy the half) First off if you can't get -3, this is a good play at -4, but for the records I am at -3. Andre Johnson, man he is a beast, 16.7 ypc average and 634 yards with 4 TDs. I can't see the Bills not letting him breakout in this one. Plus Slaton has picked it up the past couple of games and that is what they have been missing. With both of them on the field and doing well, we can expect Schaub to add to his 16 passing TDs that he already has. Not to mention Owen Daniels, man this guy is good. Between Johnson and Daniels they account for 9 of Schaub's 16 TDs. This team is becoming more versitle every week. I am definetly not convinced that Ryan Fitzpatrick is a solid QB in the NFL. He definetly has received a good amount of playing time in the past season, since he played for Carson Palmer when he was out last year. But still, its Ryan Fitzpatrick and right now he's sitting on a 44.7 completion percentage. T.O. did not practice this week and his injury is not listed, but it's not like he has been a factor this season anyways. The Bills have only one rushing TD this season from all of their running backs and that's not going to cut it with Houston's powerfull offense coming to town. Buy the half but not thinking it will really matter.
3 DIME PLAY
Seattle@Dallas
3 Dime Play Take Dallas -9 (buy the hook) Dallas has been in this situation this season already when they played Carolina as a -9 point favorite, which they covered. The Seattle and Carolina rankings are very comparable and Seattle is sitting at 0-2 on the road this season and 0-2 ATS on the road this season. Mario Barber is back in the lineup and he favors well against Seattle's defense. Tony Romo is coming off his best game this season going 21 for 29 with 311 passing yards and 3 TDs with no INTs. He is still proving to the public that he deserves the roll he is in as the starting QB in Dallas. With Miles Austin performing as one of the best receivers in the league the past couple of weeks, this allows Romo to relax knowing his receivers are going to make plays. Seattle has two key players to watch and they have not even been that great. One is T.J Houshmandzadeh and he can be a threat, but I have a feeling he gets shut down this week. The other is Nate Burleson who is very comparable to T.J.. I am not saying they can't be play makers on Sunday, but that's all Seattle has, who you gonna count on Julius Jones, come on, this guy shouldn't even be a starting RB in the NFL. My opinion I guess, but still, I like the Cowboys to beat up on the Seahawks as they did the Falcons last week, they must have something against birds, lol.
3 DIME PLAY
Oakland@San Diego
3 Dime Play Take San Diego -16 ( buy the hook) The Chargers finally got on track last week against KC and now Oakland comes to town, what is this a gift from the heavens. What a break for a team that just played Pittsburgh and Denver. The first time these two teams met this year Oakland was coming off a game that they had high momentum and they almost won. This time they find themselves back to being the slum loards of the NFL. JaMarcus Russell is sitting on 2 TDs and 8 INTs this season and is becoming a locker room disfunction. With Darren McFadden out Oakland looks to Michael Bush (3.6 ypc) and Justin Fargas (3.8 ypc). Oakland's offense is the worst in the league, but they have pulled out two wins this season and I would not be surprised if that's what they end with. Look for the Chargers to continue with how they finished last week at Qualcomm stadium, which we all know is a tough place to play if you are the team paying it a visit.
