Each week we list the Top 5 KEY SELECTIONS 4H Kansas City by 18 over Indianapolis - This is a rare NDIV revenge game as the Chiefs are still if a team lost by one in their plays as of Sunday Night. stinging from a 20-13 loss as a 5 pt HD LY to IND. KC had a 507-288 yd edge but IND turned 3 TOs and 3H DAL/WAS OVER a missed FG into 13 pts and the IND coaching staff did a jig on the sidelines when WR Wayne caught last game. the game winning td pass late 4Q. RB Charles who had 226 yds (10.3) LY gets to face the #27 rush def 3H MIA/BUF UNDER (129 ypg 4.4) that is backed by a pass defense that has given up QBR’s over 110 in 5 of the L7 games. 2005-2013 19-6 76% We aren’t sold on IND’s effort vs a demoralized HOU team with Keenum (168 yds 53% 0-2 4 sks) at the 3H NYG/DET OVER helm. Now they face a KC team with an experienced QB operating in the system that has 2 games with THIS WEEKS PLAY: H more int’s than td’s (0-1 both). KC won’t let up here after letting OAK get back into the game despite a 2 NO/CAR UNDER stellar effort by Charles. KC could improve their playoff status and after losing their L2 home games they DAL/WAS: OVER H need to reassert their homefield edge vs an overrated IND team here. 2 CLE/NYJ UNDER 3H Detroit by 21 over NY Giants - Teams off a loss to SEA are 10-22-2 ATS and the Giants go from Denver by 24 Houston - The immediate reaction by the public with DEN’s home loss to SD will be to run oriented power offense backed by a physical defense to a physical defense backed by a top tier passing get on the Bronco’s and fast. DEN lost their grip on the #1 seed and must win out to hold onto the bye. offense. Manning has more int (25) than (21) and DET at home avg 477-299 not inc MNF. They Vegas is used to the woeful play of the Texans as despite their #11 and #4 units they’ve given up a 25-6 are -7 in TO’s due to aggressive play vs -17 TO’s by Giants due to desperation. Teams that have been shutout ratio in the air and are 24th in rush defense TY. Keenum has played like an inexperienced UFA with 188 in December are 2-10 ATS afterward. While the Giants have a decent defense the lack of a run game (84 ypg ypg (53%) and 2-6 ratio the L5W. DEN has massive edges on offense and their defensive ranking is 3.6), virtually no production out of the TE’s and one of the worst pass rushes in the NFL TY (29 sacks #26) largely due to foes playing catch up in garbage time. HOU simply doesn’t have the horses to try and keep has forced Manning to do too much. Compounding this is that Cruz (concussion) may miss and despite this pace with Manning off a loss, with extra time, in a dome and with playoff need. being a contract year Nicks has been a disappointment (50 rec, 15.9. 0 td). DET is off MNF but playing for Seattle by 10 over Arizona - SEA moved to 5-2 ATS vs the Cardinals with a 34-22 on Thurs night the NFC North with MIN on deck. We’ll call for the healthier Lions big vs a reeling Giants team. as a 6.5 pt AF. It wasn’t as close as the final score indicates as SEA had a 339-119 yd edge before los- OTHER SELECTION ing interest and sacked Palmer 7 times while holding them to 30 yds rushing (1.7). While they hold key 2H New England by 7 Baltimore - NE has covered 3 straight regular season matchups vs BAL tiebreakers if the Seahawks win out they would be home for 4 consec games inc playoffs. SEA has won who’ve covered 3 straight playoff games. While Brady has avg’d 295 ypg (65%) in those ATS wins he 14 straight at home (11-3 ATS) with a 372-277 yd edge and 31-13 avg score. They crushed the Giants only has a 3-2 ratio. The situation favors NE here off a loss (6-2 ATS) in a venue they are familiar with. LW and home teams off a shutout win are 17-8-1 ATS. ARZ’s recent success is a bit of a mirage as in BAL is off the MNF game vs DET and has a big game vs CIN on deck. Brady (364 yds 62% 2-1) didn’t the L7 weeks they have faced just one top 10 defense which was the vastly disappointing Texans. ARZ have Gronkowski, Thompkins or Dobson LW vs MIA. He still drove the Patriots downfield vs a stingy went to OT vs TEN despite a 34-17 lead mid-4Q and now have to go home and then travel North. We’ll MIA defense and put them in position to win. BAL may have the #9 defense but they’ve been outgained go with SEA here with the Cardinals giving up 61 more ypg/7.6 ppg on the road vs home. by 56 ypg (-3 TO’s) vs foes with a winning record (3-1-1 ATS) and this will be only the 2nd time TY that Green Bay by 3 over Pittsburgh - PIT is off LW’s SNF game vs CIN (2-6 ATS afterwards) and those they’ve faced a top 10 offense in B2B weeks. While both teams are beat up at this point the Patriots are results are unknown. They are -30 ypg on the road TY (#23) and if they are off a win they have a shot at a still a formidable AD (11-4 ATS). non-losing season and if off a loss they’ll be livid at how the season has turned out. GB sat Rodgers once OTHER GAMES again vs DAL and the Packers have secured 2 wins with Flynn at the helm against the #29 and #32 defenses. Buffalo by 3 over Miami - This is the 100th meeting with BUF hitting a 33 yd FG w/ :33 left to win Now GB faces the #12 Def but PIT is not the intimidating force that they used to be. They lack a pass rush 23-21 as a 6.5 pt AD in the last. BUF scored 10 pts off 3 Tannehill TO’s and the yardage was basically of any sort (#28 27 sks), are dead last with 71 ypg (3.2) rushing on the road TY and can’t get off the field even (MIA +25). MIA is off a huge win vs NE LW and has some confidence winning at 2 cold weather sites (40.1% allowed on 3rd Dns). Now they have to travel on a short week vs a GB team that while depleted has beating the Jets/Steelers holding them to an avg of 92 yds rushing (4.3) and prior to PIT the Dolphins plenty to play for. We’ll side with the Packers by a FG and let the line dictate where we side. held foes to an avg QBR of 64.5 over 8 games (Brady 85.7). Tannehill has passed for over 300 yds in 3 San Diego by 7 over Oakland - The Chargers are off a huge win vs DEN on Thurs night and DIV teams of his L4 games and faces a respectable Bills #6 pass defense. The problem for BUF is that they are too off a SU win as a DD dog are 7-15-1 ATS. OAK has done very well in this series with a 7-2 ATS mark aggressive to the QB giving up the run (#26 149 ypg 4.8 L5W) but MIA’s win came at a price as #1 CB including a 27-17 win as a 5 pt HD in the 1st matchup. SD had a 427-299 yd edge but OAK converted Grimes and NT Soliai were hurt LW (MIA only had 2 other DT active LW). We’ll call for MIA to win but be 5 TO’s into 17 pts. Since then Rivers has passed for 271 ypg (67%) w/a 15-4 ratio as RB Mathews has in a bit of a letdown and teams off a SU win of NE are 2-8-1 ATS. avg’d 4.6 ypc (86 ypg) with 29 rush att’s the L2 games. SD played the perfect game to upset DEN on Cincinnati by 9 over Minnesota - MIN has covered 3 of their L4 on the road but their wins were Thurs night and will be much fresher with an OAK team that gave up 56 pts to KC at home LW. OAK got vs DAL with a defense worse than LY’s Saints, GB in OT with Tolzien at the helm and a sluggish BAL to within 4 in the 3Qtr but couldn’t overcome 7 TO’s. SD plays down to its foes as shown by its -32 ypg team in cold weather. CIN is off LW’s SNF game vs PIT and with a win are right in the hunt for a bye (-4 TO’s) vs losing teams which is why we’ll stick with the home team by 7 for now. with NE and DEN. CIN has a rep for playing down to the level of competition but they are 4-0-1 ATS vs at Philadelphia - SNF - This was flexed to SNF prior to Cutler returning and PHI’s surprising def’s ranked 21st or lower TY. They have also earned a kill mentality putting 49, 41 and 42 on the Jets, loss to MIN this is shaping up as an elimination game here. PHI has covered 2 of 3 at home improving Browns and Colts. MIN stunned PHI LW with their point explosion (AD’s are 4-13 ATS after scoring 42) their record to 2-13 ATS as they beat the dysfunctional Redskins and DET in the snow. While CHI’s #32 but Cassel shifts from the #30 Def to the #6 here and with MIN giving up 195 yds (19.5) to Jackson LW rush defense is a massive concern, the Eagles haven’t faced an offense with weapons as potent as we wonder what AJ Green can do here. Marshall, Jeffries and Forte since DEN back in Wk 4. Both teams have major rivals to close out the year St Louis by 6 over Tampa Bay - STL went into TB almost a year to the day & thumped the Bucs 28-13 on deck but LW’s results sets up for a big game here. as a 3 pt AD. TB turned the ball over 5 times (21 pts for STL) wasting a 429-285 yd edge as they held Atlanta at San Francisco - This is the final regular season game at Candlestick Park and the NFL is the Rams to just 1 FD/32 yds in the 2H. Neither team is fielding their starting QB/RB’s from that game even letting former owner Eddie DeBartelo attend. Yes, ATL is a shell of itself but this is their big chance and are fairly even with STL having the #26 and #21 units (+12 TO’s) while TB has the #32 and #13 to build on something heading into the offseason and give a little payback for losing to SF at home in the units (+11 TO’s). TB was outgained by a 2-1 margin at home vs SF LW with 7 of their first 8 drives ending Championship game LY. Double digit NDIV fav’s on MNF are just 2-6 ATS and SF has ARZ on deck so in punts. Glennon doesn’t have an effective ground game with 66 yds or less in 3 of the L4 games (42 this may not be the walkaway game the public believes. ypg 2.3) with the only other one being vs BUF who hasn’t had a rush def in years. STL did a solid job of limiting Brees LW (1-2 ratio 4 sks) and this is a favorable matchup for them as TB lacks a receiving weapon outside of WR Jackson. STL may struggle to run the ball here (TB #15 rush def) but we think NFL LINES AND 2013 STATS OFFENSE DEFENSE SACK% the Rams pass rush #4 (42 sks) will be the key here. NC OP SU ATS O/U TO’s Ttl Sc Ypp Ttl Sc Ypp Off Def NY Jets by 3 over Cleveland - The Jets strength is their stout front 7 especially vs the run (86 ypg 3.2) with DT Richardson the likely Def ROY.

They beat the Bucs 16-14 but didn’t cover as a 3 pt HD.

NO had a 371-273 yd edge then and now have their home field edge. This game will play at Golden Gopher Stadium for the next 2 years.

The Vikings showed life in the upset vs Philly sans Peterson and Gerhardt but and having won 4 of their last 6 this season the emphasis will be to prove who the dominant that was surely vs an overconfident squad in an unusual role as a 7pt AF in a dome with the leagues team of the NFC South is. #30 D.

They defeated PHI 17-3 despite 3 def starters and RB Murray sitting out but KO’d Foles but 2 td’s. The Pats had the opportunity to take command of AFC homefield adv in Wk15 but fell to who was massively ineffective (80 yds 38% 3 sks). The L/2 seasons Dallas has been 8-6 and in ‘11 MIA and will probably need a win here regardless of wk16’s outcome. Prior to their win over JAX they lost B2B games vs Philly and the NYG by 17 points each and LY they lost to NO in OT by 3 and in wk15, the Bills were 1-5 ATS on the road getting outscored by 11 ppg while the Pats sported to Washington by 10. The Cowboys came into this year 0-7 ATS as a div HF and while they are 2-0 a 5-1 ATS mark in their L/6 HG’s and were outscoring their opponents by 10 ppg. Brady has also SU/ATS TY that’s very misleading as they got outgained by 147 yds vs the Giants and by 220 yds vs been heating up as prior to wk16 he avg’d 374 ypg w/a 9-3 ratio in his L/4. Add in the fact they are Washington.

LY in the final weekend the Broncos needed a win and OTHER GAMES they outgained KC 488-119 in a 38-3 win but it was a different story when he had things clinched in With Wk 17 games being forecast 2 weeks in advance and multiple playoff Indy. Since 2004 Peyton’s offense on the final weekend scored 14, 17, 27, 10, 7 and 23 points and he scenarios, we will not fully commit to a side on the following games. Carolina by 10 over Atlanta - The Panthers have covered 3 straight in the series winning was never concerned with stats. The Raiders went 0-5 SU/ATS in their home finale from ‘03-’07 and the last 34-10 as a 7’ pt HF. CAR dominated far more than the score shows with 27-12 FD and after a win in ‘08 they lost 3 more SU before Allen took over a HC and they not only won and covered 373-289 yd edges with ATL being held to 109 yds in the 2H. In his L3 games vs ATL Newton has LY but shutout div foe KC. Raiders still 12-5 ATS as a div dog, have avg’d over 350 ypg their L/4 and avg’d 250 ypg (64%) with a 5-2 ratio and had a field day on the ground with 75 ypg (9.7) rushing. were completely embarrassed by the 536 yards they gave up to Denver in the first game. CAR is 11-3 ATS as a div fav and while they should have a wild card spot locked up Newton San Francisco by 3 over Arizona - SF improved to 8-2 ATS in the series with a 32-20 victory over clearly can still use some work as he completed 64% of his passes the first 8 games but only ARZ as a 10 pt HF in the 1st meeting. ARZ was a mess all day as they committed 4 TO’s, which SF turned 58% since. Rivera will also want his troops off a confidence building road win since their last into 16 pts, gave up a safety and all’d 149 yds rushing (3.9) on the day. Both tms have been among the game away was a 31-13 loss at New Orleans. Atlanta at 2-9 won 2 of their next 3 but now they NFL’s best ATS TY as prior to wk 16, the 49ers were 9-3-2 ATS while the Cardinals were 10-3-1 ATS are on a short week off a bruising game vs San Fran and have been held to 11 ppg and 269 ypg and were able to overcome a blown 17-pt 4Q lead at TEN to keep their playoff hopes alive. Depending versus their L/10 opponents with a top 10 D. on wk16, the winner here could be in store for the final playoff berth and even if the 49ers already have Green Bay by 3 Chicago - GB dropped to 8-3 ATS vs CHI with a 27-20 loss as a 10 pt HF on a playoff spot locked up, they are 2-0 SU in reg ssn finales under Harbaugh. The 49ers also have the MNF in the 1st meeting TY.

KC lost both OLB’s Houston and Hali in the 2H and D (#12) they again face a sieve like unit (#27D). The Bears saw Cutler (22-31, 265, 3-2) return in Rivers rocked the Chiefs for 392 yds (69%) and 3 td’s on the day. The Chargers have also won their win vs Cleveland but GB has been his nemesis going 23-48 (48%) LY with a 2-5 ratio and while 5 str SU here vs the Chiefs and should be playing w/a lot of confidence after pulling upsets over Chicago had 442 yards in their win TY that was with McCown under center.

For example, Oklahoma ranks #25 in the NCAA in pass D. The Sooners however have taken on the 12th toughest slate of passing offenses including 4 in the top 20 and our pass eff D ranks them #2. Don’t be misled by pure stats. This chart is very helpful to look at bowl matchups. For instance if team A is playing Team B who has a strong rush offense, you will want to see how strong the rush defenses were that team B faced this year to get an idea of how they matchup vs their bowl opponent.
