Fantastic day on the modified consensus Saturday and we will return later this morning at 11:40AM (ET). Now Sunday's NFL premium lineup with our 5* on Oakland tonight at -3 on the recommended purchase of a half-point at 6/5 or -120.
Pro Football:
3 Units on Green Bay Packers -7 +100
The Metrodome has been a house of horrors for Green Bay losing eight of their last 10 visits. But we may have never had the type of disparity in talent between these two squads. The fact there’s discussion about Todd Bouman replacing Duante Culpepper isn’t a glowing endorsement for the first-stringer quarterback for the men in purple. Despite a 14-29 ATS record on artificial turf with Brett Favre, "The Animal” goes against those long term numbers that are anti Green Bay on this surface. Minnesota is #! 31 in total defense and #31 against the pass. They are –16 in turnovers. Sounds like easy opportunities against a pathetic defense for Brett Favre. Ahman Green upgraded to probable. Can’t resist.
4 Units on Cincinnati Bengals +3½ -120
Two weeks ago Cleveland was outrushed 136-36 and outpassed 255-157 at home against Pittsburgh. How they only lost by three points is just another NFL mystery. There aren’t many road favorites that cover in this league with the 32nd and dead last rushing offense and the 28th ranked rushing defense. Take a look at the passing numbers for Cincinnati in their last five games. How about 120-for-173 for 1147 yards. Jon Kitna is at 73.6% with eight touchdowns and only three interceptions in his last three games. We sense the wrong team is favored.
3 Units on Tennessee Titans +3 -105
Without question last week’s Pittsburgh/Atlanta game was exhausting for both participants and especially the defensive linemen of the Steelers. Today marks the 5th road game out of seven contests for Pittsburgh. All good things must come to an end and “The Animal” believes Tennessee should win this game. The Titans have ! quietly won four games in a row and that road upset at Indianapolis looks a little sweeter now after watching the Colts knock off Philadelphia last Sunday at the Vet. Steelers are the only team in their division with a winning record. This is almost a must-win situation for Tennessee and we are getting a field goal at home. The return of Jerome Bettis might not be a positive for Pittsburgh. This could easily disrupt what had been working. My gut tells me Tennessee in the upset.
5 Units on Oakland Raiders -3½ -110
We have to wait until tonight for our 5* release. It’s rare when you see a visiting team enter a hostile environment and DOMINATE on both sides of the line like Oakland did at Denver Monday night. Nobody has been streakier than the Raiders with a four-game winning streak and a four-game losing streak in their first eight games. But Oakland rediscovered the touch with a red-hot Rich Gannon and the Raiders only have Arizona and the Jets on the! horizon. They should be extremely pumped up here to take on the champs. “The Animal” watched the New England/Chicago game from start to finish and the Patriots received every break in the book. Curiously this team recently lost to Denver by eight points at home. Remember, Oakland was hosed at New England last year in the AFC championship game as Tom Brady’s pass was ruled incomplete rather than a fumble. Mother Nature won’t be a factor tonight (snow last January). New England is #26 in the league in rushing and #27 in the league in defending the run. That's a bad combination in the NFL when you are playing an upper-echelon opponent on the road with plenty of incentive. Revenge is sweet as Oakland proves tonight. “The Animal” personally bought the ½-point and played Oakland at –3. 5* on the Silver and Black!
3 Units on New Orleans Saints O 51 -110
New Orleans 9-0 ‘OVER’ the total this year including 37-35 loss to Atlanta at the Superdome. Saints ‘OVER’ in 20/26 as a road underdog. What a treat with two quarterbacks who are not only elusive but throw downfield. That’s a rare combination by NFL standards. Saints 8-1 ‘OVER’ when playing with revenge.
4 Units on Cleveland Browns O 40½ -110
We spoke about Kitna’s #’s recently in our analysis on our ‘side’ selection. Cincinnati is without two starting defensive linemen today in Gibson and Booker. With the injury to Neil Rackers, Bengals should be more inclined to go for touchdowns (why not right). Cincy is 5-0-1 ‘OVER’ in their last six games. Four of the past five Cleveland games have produced 43 or more points. Cleveland is 8-1 ‘OVER’ against divisional opponents. Cincinnati is 5-1 ‘OVER’ at home when coming off back-to-back road games. We also have two teams that don’t put any pressure on the opposing quarterback with Cincinnati #31 in sacks and Cleveland #22. Neither can stop the run at #29 and #28 respectively. We have to go ‘OVER’ this low total in the bragging rights for the state of Ohio.
