Anaheim @ Colorado
Pick: Anaheim -122
Anaheim continues to shine atop the Pacific Division, outscoring opponents by +11 goals, third best in the NHL. You need good defense on the road and the Ducks are strong, second in the NHL in goals allowed and ninth in killing penalties. The Ducks are off a 2-1 victory at the Dallas Stars. Frederik Andersen had 21 saves, improving to 7-1-0 with a 1.60 goals-against average. The Ducks have killed all but three of their last 27 penalties, including all six the last game. The Ducks are 31-13 against a team with a losing record. They face a Colorado team with new faces that has yet to get going, a big disappointment on a 3-11 run. Colorado is 22nd in goals scored and 19th in goals allowed. It's the second of a back to back spot, off a 3-2 loss at St. Louis last night, and the Avalanche is 14-44 playing on no days rest. Anaheim is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings, including 8-3 here in Colorado.

Ravens at Steelers
Play: Ravens
The. Ravens offense has been clicking on all cylinders over he last few weeks. They hit a bump in the road as the. Bengals came back in e final minute to knock off the Ravens but expect the Black Birds to put up a big fight in Pittsburgh. The Steelers came out fighting last week, but their defense still has issues as they are getting old quickly, expect the Ravens to control this game , with their offense being too much for the Steelers to handle.

Jaguars / Bengals Over 43.5
Regular clients are aware that exactly one week ago I personally unloaded on Jacksonville OVER the spot in what was their initial appearance since the season-ending injury to star linebacker Paul Posluszny who was the “captain” of the defense along with leader in tackles. In a 27-13 home defeat the Jaguars barely held below the spot as continued troubles with offensive production now has seen the team go 4-0 “under” in the past four outings and in turn has helped keep today’s over/under number very low. While rookie Blake Bortles continues with growing pains as a professional there was good news last week as he accounted for one touchdown and 269 yards from scrimmage. Cincinnati continues to be unbeatable in front of the HOME fans going 12-0-1 long term and their offensive production in “the jungle” this campaign (27, 37, 33 and 24 points respectively) have seen them light up the scoreboard each time. Getting back to the Jaguars even though they are averaging an NFL low in average point production they are 3-1 OVER/ROAD so far
