Lang 1/8
Friday's Selections ...
NOTE:
I'll admit, it would have been a whole different story if Colt McCoy doesn't get hurt.
Would 'Bama have covered? Probably not, but I still think they win the game and when you have a 100 dime money line play going, winning the game was the central focus.
However, I will admit is was a nice break to catch with McCoy going out and then Mack Brown's blunder at the end of the first half was a mountain to high to climb for his Texas team.
Look at the numbers:
16-5 bowl run to close the bowl season, and 4 of 6 winning days here in 2010, and it would be 5 of 7 had I bought the 1/2 point on Troy Wednesday night, but it is what it is.
Another winning bowl season. A great start to the New Year. Up over +300 dimes and looking for more this weekend.
Winning cures all and that is all I am looking for here on Friday before stepping to the plate with huge playoff winners on the weekend.
Let's get it on.
75 DIME - NEW YORK JETS - (if line is 2 1/2 you buy the 1/2 and get 3. If 3 you buy the 1/2 and get 3 1/2. Line value with the underdog - get the best line possible.)
25 DIME - NEW YORK JETS MONEY LINE PLAY - This is a dangerous animal right here.
When you have the # 1 defense in the NFL and the # 1 rush attack in the NFL, I don't care who you are playing, you are going to be a tough out.
Now I know Cincinnati will put 8 in the box and do everything they can to stop the run, and force Sanchez to throw and beat them but that isn't where the Jets are going to win the game.
They win the game because of the true weakness of this Bengals team and has been their weakness all year is their offense.
The warning signs have been there all year long but down the stretch when your offense is supposed to be peaking heading into the playoffs, this Bengals team has gotten worse.
There was the 90 yards passing at Minnesota 4 weeks ago, and at home 2 weeks ago they were held to 10 points for 58 minutes by the Chiefs, who just so happen to have the 3rd worst defense in the NFL.
Over their last 9 games the Bengals have reached 20 points or more twice and they have covered only 1 of their last 7 games right along with it.
Of all the teams in the playoffs Cincinnati could have faced they draw the one team they match up the worst against.
Am I concerned about young Mr. Mark "Interception" Sanchez on the road in his first playoff game? Absolutely, but I also trust the offensive coordinator Schottenheimer to put him in situations to not lose the game instead have to win it.
Playoff football is about running the football and playing defense. Two the things the Jets do better than any team in the NFL.
This is one of the best offensive lines in football and they dominated the trenches a week ago and I don't see anything to lead me to believe they won't dominate it again.
I don't see any changes the Bengals can make offensively which leads me to believe they can execute any better at home against the #1 ranked defense in the NFL.
Cincinnati has scored the least amount of points than any team in the playoffs, and quite frankly, I don't trust the 24th ranked offense against the # 1 defense in the NFL and I don't care where they play.
I will gladly grab the Jets plus the points and I will money line the Jets as well as they handle the Bengals again and move on to round two.
75 dime JETS, and 25 dime JETS MONEY LINE
25 DIME - WRIGHT STATE RAIDERS -They always play Butler tough.
And tonight they get them at home where Wright State is a perfect 6-0 SU, and 3-1 ATS.
This team has been competitive all year long as their 5 losses have been by 5 at Washington, 3 at Northeastern, 1 at Miami/Ohio, 11 to Mississippi State and 1 at Loyola-Chicago.
I just love the make up of this team.
They return 4 starters from last years squad, and got back all world guard Vaughn Duggins who missed last year with a broken finger. Teamed with his replacement John David Gardner, this is a really good backcourt.
Butler is Butler. No way around it, as they have been the class of the Horizon League but Wright State always plays them tough.
Not only is Butler 3-12 ATS last 15 meetings versus the Raiders but just 1-7 ATS last 8 at Wright State.
The bottom line is Wright State matches up really well with Butler and in a near pickem game I like the home team to get the win and announce to Butler we will see you in the Horizon League championship game in March.
FREE SELECTION - WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS
