WV got 2 FD s and on 4& from the USF42 got a 26 yd pass to the 16 with :08 left and they got a 28 yd FG for the win...ucla was playing with an emotional edge vs Oregon as they were off an embarrassing 50-0 loss and Neuheisel had been fired during the week. They carried the coach off on their shoulders after Thursday s practice and played hard. Twice in the 1H the Ducks went for it on 4th down and got 30 and 25 yd TD s off the 4th & 1 and 4th & 3 plays. It was UO when on 4& they were SOD at the UCLA44 with :11 left in the half. LA got a 30 yd pass and then a 44 yd FG to pull within The Ducks appeared headed for a 32 pt win when leading 49- on 4&9 they were SOD at the LA30 with 11:58 left and then on 4&3 were SOD at the LA6 with 7: left. LA drove 94/15pl and got a yd TD pass with 1:51 left for the final.

CSU got it back at their 4 but it ended on an int at their own 37 with :28 left. TCU was not as dominant as the final score as they only led 14-3 late 1H vs UNLV when they blocked a punt to set up a 32/1pl TD run. TCU then got a 99 yd KR TD with 2:00 left in the half and :12 later a 16 yd IR TD to lead at the half, 35-6 but only had a yd edge. They found out Houston had lost, giving them a possible BCS berth and opened the 3Q with 74/pl, 81/8pl and 60/8pl drives for TD s on their first 3 poss to go up 56-9 with 9: left and held UNLV to 6 FD s...pitt had a 6-1 TO edge vs Syracuse as SU fumbled the opening KO setting up a 22/1pl TD pass for Pitt.

Houston controlled its own destiny just needing a win over SM at home to secure a BCS bowl berth but the Cougars couldn t handle the pressure and Case Keenum fell out of the Heisman Trophy chase. There was mph wind gusts. SM had the wind at their back in the 1Q and got a TD with 1:09 left in the half then went 36/3 after PF on the PR for a TD for a 14-0 lead.

They punted with 5:04 left and Utah St went on an 83/pl drive incl a 4&1 conversion and got a TD with :35 left to pull out the win, Case McCoy threw for 356 yds vs Baylor and Texas finished with a yd edge but 5 TO s by McCoy were the key and none were more important than with 1: left in the half. Texas, leading 21-17, had the ball when on 3&4 McCoy was int d on the sideline and returned 28 yds to the 2 with 1: left. Two plays later Griffin got a TD to take a -21 lead. Texas had the ball for 21:02 of the 1H and had a yd edge but trailed. UT settled for a 39 yd FG, was int d at the BU27, int d at the BU then dropped a TD pass and a few plays later fumbled at the BU12. On their next drive, UT turned it over a 4th consecutive time when they were int d in the EZ and BU got a 48- win. Baylor reached 9 wins for the first time since 86...Lance Dunbar set a single game rushing record at North Texas with 3 yards on 40 carries and he was the only 300 yard rusher in college football this year. He leaves as NT s all-time career leading rusher with 4,2 yds topping Patrick Cobbs (4,050). Interestingly, Middle Tenn s coach Stockstill said during the week, that their season was over but that next year would be promising. NT played like their season was over as they trailed 52-0 in the 3Q and MT had a yd edge...tyler Lantrip got the start in place of the injury Cody Fajardo and hit yds as Nevada steam rolled Idaho. At the half Nevada had a yd edge and led 28-3 and would roll 56-3 punting once in the 2H and ending the game at the ID...Troy was more competitive than the final score vs Arkansas St. In fact, ASU had a 17-0 lead with 1 FD as they blocked a punt for a TD and had a 60 yd FR TD. Troy, trailing -14 missed a 48 yd FG with 7:34 left in the 3Q and then ASU took over driving 69/12pl, 84/pl and after Troy was SOD, ASU went 84/8pl for TD s for the final...tajh Boyd came in having a 4-7 ratio in his previous 4 games but hit yds and was the MVP as #21 Clemson beat #5 Virg Tech for the 2nd time this year. It s the first time CU s won games in a season since 90. David Wilson, the ACC Player of the year, was held to 32 yards on 11 carries. Things started right for CU early as VT fumbled on their opening snap and CU went /3pl for a TD and a 7-0 lead. The score was tied at at the half and CU would then score 3 TD s in 4: to blow it open, 31-. VT dropped a FD pass on 4&2 at the CU30 and CU went 70 yards for a TD for the 38- lead. VT was int d at the CU with 9:32 left and int d in the EZ from the 8 with 4:51 left. There was an ACC record 73,675 on hand and with the game in Charlotte, NC the crowd surprisingly sounded like a Clemson home game...the Georgia/LSU game was a story of 2H and even then, UGA finished with a yd edge but were done in by 3 TO s and 2 long PR s. The most amazing stat in the game was that at the half UGA had a 9-0 FD edge and 5-12 yd edge but they only led -7. LSU s only TD in the 1H came when Mathieu ret d a punt 62 yds for a TD but he actually tossed the ball to the ref prior to crossing the goal line and it should not have counted. As is the case in most of their games this year, UGA s RB Crowell was hobbling around on a sore ankle and only got 9 carries for 14 yards. UGA dropped a TD pass on their opening drive and settled for a 40 yd FG. They rec d the onside kick but dropped another TD pass and then missed a 45 yd FG. UGA got a 44/6pl drive for a TD and led -0 after 1Q. LSU got a 62 yd PR to make it -7 at the half. UGA fumbled to open the 3Q and LSU went 26/2pl for a TD then after a 47 yd PR, LSU went 17/4pl for a TD. At this point, LSU led 21- with 55 total yards offense for their 21 points. LSU s most impressive drive came when they took over with 8:08 left, up 28- as they got 17, and 15 yard runs followed by a 48 yd TD run by Blue on the fourth play, 35- and they then added a 45 yd IR TD with 4:21 left. UGA s last drive was led by backup QB Mason and on 4th down they were SOD at the LSU. LSU had 8 wins vs AP Top 25 foes, the most previously was LSU (7, 07), Michigan (7, 97) and Oklahoma (7, 75)...Fresno St blocked a FG and returned it 59 yards for a TD and they also go an 88 yard TD pass 4pl after San Diego St was SOD on 4&gl at the 1. Fresno led 21-0 mid-2q but SDS drove 81/11pl then 78/pl and on 4&gl from the 1 with :11 left in the half got a TD to make It was tied at 28 when Fresno had the ball at midfield when they were sacked and punted with 2: left and the Aztecs drove 66/9pl and got a 2 yd TD run with 1:09 left. Fresno ret d the KO to the Aztec 47 and on 3&1 Carr was int d at the with :32 left...oklahoma QB Landry Jones had not thrown a TD pass in the previous 2 games since he lost his top weapons RB Dominque Whaley and WR Ryan Broyles for the season to injury. A banged up OU team lost for the first time to Oklahoma St in nine games and OSU got their first outright conf title since 48 when they played in the 3-team Missouri Valley conf. OU was hoping to impress the pollsters and move up to #2 and a shot in the National Title game. TO s were huge as OU had 5. Twice the ball just fell out of Jones hands. At the half OU had a FD edge but OSU a 9-4 yd edge. The key play of the game happened with OU trailing -0 and at the OSU with 4:42 left in the 1H. Jones was sk d and fmbl d and it was ret d 59 yds to the OU1 setting up a TD and OSU blew it open to -3 at the half. OU fmbl d at the OSU30, was int d at the OSU in the 2H...When Michigan St and Wisconsin met the first time, a Hail Mary pass decided it and once again a Hail Mary-type pass would decide this one along with a running into the P call. MSU had yd and FD edges and led most of the game but on 4&6 Wilson threw up a jump ball with 2 DB s around Duckworth but he hauled it in for a FD at the 7 with 3:45 left and they got a TD on the next play to go up UW punted with 2:40 left and the punt was ret d 64 yds to the 1 but running into the K gave UW a FD and they were able to run out the clock...hawaii needed a win to get to a bowl game but BYU welcomed back QB Riley Nielson ( ). The Cougars missed 48 and 38 yd FG s after 11 and 9pl drives in the 1H and despite a 16-9 FD edge, actually trailed -7 with 3:41 left in the half. They would score the game s next 34 pts. They trailed - at the half but scored TD s on all three 3Q poss and added a 26 yd FR TD to lead 38- after 3Q s. UH did get an 85/12pl drive for a garbage TD with 5:55 left to make the final 41- as UH converted on 4&1 and 4&2 on that drive... Boise St was the highest ranked non-aq team but not eligible for an automatic BCS bowl berth as they did not win their own conf, losing by 1 pt to TCU. Kellen Moore, in his FHG, hit yds and guided BSU to 38 pts in 3Q s before being pulled with 7: left 3Q and a 38-0 lead as Southwick handled 3 poss and BSU was SOD a the NM, int d at the and got a TD with 5:01 left. BSU s first punt of the game came with 1:07 left and 3rd string QB Hendrick at the controls.

4 11 COLLEGE FBS STANDINGS COLLEGE SELECTION 4 Excellent 3 Very Good 2 Good Navy 23 Army 17 - FedEx Field, Landover MD. This is the 112th meeting in this historic rivalry. Army has lost a series record 9 straight (2-7 ATS) to Navy being outscored by a combined 1-23 over the L/4Y. LY Navy jumped out to a Q lead but fumbled at their own 23 and Army scored 6pl later. After another fumble, Army drove down to Navy 3. On 1st&gl QB Steelman was stood up, fumbled and Middleton snagged it out of the air and raced 98 yds for a TD (longest FR series history). Navy went on to win (-7 ) despite being outgained and outfd d -16. Last time this game was decided by 8 pts or less was in 00 when Navy won (+2 ). This year Army's wins were over Northwestern, Tulane and Fordham and 4 of their losses were to MAC tms. Army lost all 7 gms away (1-6 ATS) from West Point being outscored by ppg. Steelman ret d after missing 3 gms (inj) and went down on the 2nd play of their loss to Temple 3 wks ago. He is critical in the Army option that has avg fewer ppg and 73 fewer ypg without him the L/3. The Cadets lead the FBS in rushing (351 ypg) incl RB Maples 984 yds (7.4). After losing 6 in a row Navy s only hope for a bowl was to win out but a loss to SJSt snapped a streak of 8 straight bowl appearance. Five of their 7 losses have been by a comb 11 pts with 5 losses to bowl tms. QB Proctor leads with 817 rush yds (4.6) with RB Teich a close #2 (790, 4.7). Both tms went 0-2 SU/1-1 ATS vs Air Force and Rutgers. While Navy was outgained in those gms ( ), they were only outscored Army had a yd edge but was outscored 26- and actually led AF 14-0 at half. Army is trying to avoid being the 3rd str Sr class to never have beaten either service academy. The fav has covered of the last 14 in this series (3 of L/4). Navy is 15-5 ATS in the last vs their biggest rival. This matchup has gone UNDER 5 straight years. These teams met with losing records from with Navy going 3-2 SU (4-1 ATS) incl crushing Army as a 3 pt fav in '02. With neither team in the post ssn the stage is set for the true "military bowl". PLAYOFF OUTLOOK Below is our look at each contenders playoff chances. We rank them in order of their chances of making the playoffs. Games remaining are listed to the right and the record is in ( ). DIV/CONF record also listed. AFC 1. New England (9-3) MIA, BUF The Patriots only face one team that is at or above.500 the rest of the way and are our favorite for the #1 seed for the playoffs. They currently hold the tie breaker versus both Houston and Pittsburgh. 2. Houston (9-3) 4-0 TEN Houston's QB situation should get better each week as Yates will either improve or Delhomme will take over. After this week's game vs CIN, HOU finishes with 2 teams that have a combined 3 wins and are statistically the best team in the NFL. Has the tiebreaker edge over Pittsburgh. 3. Pittsburgh (9-3) The Steelers do not hold the tie-breaker over BAL as they lost to them twice but they also have the easier finishing schedule with their toughest foe, SF, likely having already clinched when they play. PIT plays CLE twice and STL. We'll call for 12 or wins for the Steelers. 4. Baltimore (8-3)** BAL looks like a sure bet for the playoffs in the Wild Card Round despite their inconsistencies. They have a great shot at topping PIT as they beat them 2x during the reg season but and while they do have a couple of tough games remaining, they should be in the playoffs once again. 5. Denver (7-5) CHI, KC The Tim Tebow phenomenon continues and they just keep winning. DEN is now 7-5 but has CHI and NE as part of their final 4. They do currently hold the tiebreaker vs OAK based on win % in div. 6. NY Jets (7-5) It looks like the Jets will be battling CIN for the final Wild Card spot and this is the time of year where they usually hit their stride, doing well in the final month and in the playoffs. 7. Cincinnati (7-5) ARZ, BAL The Bengals have played well in tough game vs both PIT and BAL and they have 3 of their final 4 at home. They could find themselves in the playoffs this year. 8. Oakland (7-5) 2-2 SD Oakland will battle Denver for the AFC West. The Raiders however have a tougher schedule so we have them here.. 9. San Diego (4-7) 1-4 The Chargers have definitely unperformed this year but they are also a team very capable of running the table the rest of the way and emerging as the AFC West Champs. Until we see it, we have to list them down here as this is being written when they have yet to play this week (play Monday).. Tennessee (7-5) TEN still has an outside shot at the South but it will be pretty tough needing two big upsets. STILL ALIVE BUT LONGSHOTS: Buffalo (5-7), Kansas City (5-7), Jacksonville (3-8), Cleveland (4-8), Miami (4-8), Buffalo (5-7) NFC 1. Green Bay (12-0) CHI, DET The only question is not if GB will get the #1 seed in the NFC, but if they will run the table and go They can still afford two losses and maintain home field edge throughout. 2. San Francisco (-2) 3-0 PIT, The 49ers figure to have the NFC West wrapped up and provided they are not resting their players a lot down the stretch, they could still finish with the 2nd best record in the NFC. 3. New Orleans (8-3) 3-1 ATL, CAR We feel NO is the 2nd best team in the NFC and are capable of challenging GB and should make a run for that #2 seed. They get ATL at home in a key test in their final 4 and a win there clinches the div. 4. Dallas (7-5) DAL is our favorite to win the NFC East and figures to be the only NFC East team in the playoffs. The NYG have a much tougher slate so look for the Cowboys to wrap up one of the div spots. 5. Chicago (7-5) 2-2 SEA, While the Bears lost their starting QB and do have to play the Packers on the road, their other games all fall into winnable categories and they figure to have one of the Wild Card spots provided they can stay ahead of DET which actually has a tougher final 4 game schedule. 6. Atlanta (7-5) 1-2 TB While we don't think the Falcons will get past NO on the road, they should be prohibitive favorites vs CAR, JAX and TB and wrap up a Wild Card spot and reach the playoffs a different way this year after being the #1 seed last year. 7. Detroit (7-4) 2-2 The Lions have been a great story this year and while they appear to be fading and have a tough schedule remaining, they still actually have a better than 50/50 chance of making the playoffs. 8. NY Giants (6-6) 1-2 DAL The NYG schedule is brutal. They have a much tougher path to the playoffs than does Dallas. STILL ALIVE, BUT ONLY MATHEMATICALLY: Seattle (5-7), Washington (4-8), Arizona (5-7), Tampa Bay (4-8), Philadelphia (4-8), Carolina (4-8).

5 4 Excellent 3 Very Good 2 Good PRO SELECTIONS HOME TEAM IN CAPS FOURTEEN NFL POWER SWEEPS (ALL H S WINNING) KEY SELECTIONS 4H New Orleans over TENNESSEE - Potential letdown spot for NO off 2 prime time games vs the Giants and Lions. Both teams take non-conf games seriously with Payton being 12-3 ATS and Munchak 3-0 ATS TY (7-3-1 ATS under Fisher as OL coach). NO is 5-2 SU/ATS vs NDIV foes not counting DET TY outgaining them with a 32- avg score. Brees has surgically dismantled NDIV foes avg 338 ypg (70%) with a -6 ratio and keep in mind 39% of TY s receiving yds is via Graham and Sproles. TEN s # pass defense has been decent TY but they haven t faced a lot of good QB s. They ve allowed an avg of 288 ypg (69%) with a 9-1 ratio to Roethlisberger, Schaub, Ryan and Fitzpatrick. While RB Johnson has excelled 3 of the L4W (it s been vs CAR s #27, TB s #29 and BUF s # rush defenses. Hasselbeck has avg d 141 ypg (57%) w/a 1-3 ratio the L3W and TEN has only scored 30 pts TY vs CLE and CAR. NO is still chasing SF for the #2 seed and we ll side with the road team vs a TEN team that is playing over its head. FORECAST: New Orleans 30 TENNESSEE 14 3H Atlanta over CAROLINA - ATL improved to 5-1 ATS vs the Panthers with a win as a 3.5 pt HF earlier TY. ATL re-established its power rushing attack with 166 yds (4.7) to ease the burden on Ryan (163 yds 64% 1-0). ATL did a good job by holding Newton to 50 yds rushing and 2 of his 3 int s came on the L2 Panther drives of the game. After a slow start, ATL is playing at a very high level with the #4 and #9 units (-3 TO s) vs CAR with the #8 and #26 units (0 TO s) the L4W. ATL has good matchups with Turner (83 ypg 4.3 five 0 yd gms TY) vs the #27 rush defense with a young DL that has started 9 different LB s behind them. CAR s #15 pass defense is misleading as they were dead last with an 8.4 ypa before getting a break vs TB. CAR is also allowing a - ratio and are only 22nd in sacks (23). The Panthers beat up on a bad TB defense with a backup QB and it showed with just 3 drives going for 50 or more yds. The Falcons were ill prepared to deal with a motivated HOU defense and will be much more focused for this division matchup. ATL is one of the best teams in the NFL off a loss ( ATS) and LW s results give good line value here. FORECAST: Atlanta 27 CAROLINA 14 OTHER SELECTIONS 2H GREEN BAY over Oakland - This is brutal spot for OAK as it s their 4th road game in 5 Wks after going cross country to play MIA in 80 weather to 32 here. Both teams are fairly close statistically with OAK having the # and #21 units (+5 TO s) vs GB with the #6 and #28 units (+5 TO s) the L4W. OAK is a bit thin though at the two units they ll need to challenge GB here are CB and WR s. The Raiders #4 rush attack was smothered by MIA LW being outrushed 9 (4.8) to 46 (3.3) which kept Palmer off balance (273 yds 49% 2-1). OAK punted on 8 of their 1st 9 drives (int on other) and were held to 2 of 11 on 3rd Dns. OAK s is a respectable 5-1 ATS away but they are giving up 375 ypg and 25 ppg which is 25th and th on the road. GB is 4-1 ATS at home TY despite a defense allowing 408 ypg at Lambeau Field where Rodgers has avg 317 ypg (72%) with a 17-3 ratio and a stellar 9.6 ypa. FORECAST: GREEN BAY 33 Oakland 17 2H DETROIT over Minnesota - The home team is ATS. MIN took DET to OT at home in the 1st meeting losing as a 3 pt HD. MIN blew a -0 lead at the half as the Lions dominated the game the rest of the way with 15-5 FD and yd edges as MIN had four 3 & outs in the 2H. DET will be without DT Suh (susp) and they could be in a very foul mood if they lost B2B games vs elite teams on national TV. They are 4-0 SU/ATS vs teams w/a losing record with a yd edge (+7 TO s) with a 38- avg score. Even with the GB meltdown, Stafford is avg a healthy 267 ypg (64%) with a 15-7 ratio at home and gets the #25 pass defense that is allowing 269 ypg (70%) with a 15-2 ratio on the road. MIN s defense has not made an int in the L/0 pass attempts while allowing pass TD s. The Vikings let another win escape them in the 2H LW as they let DEN score on 5 of their 7 2H drives after a fantastic 1H. MIN has been outscored 3-1 in the 2H incl OT which is where DET has been its best w/a 6-94 scoring margin. It s not likely MIN will risk Peterson (high ankle sprain) on the road and on turf in a dismal season and we ll call for the home team to let off some steam here to make up for their last home effort. FORECAST: DETROIT 38 Minnesota 17 OTHER GAMES Cleveland at PITTSBURGH - Thursday - These two rivals face off twice in the final 4 weeks. Both are off division games LW as PIT flexed their muscles knocking of CIN 35-7 while CLE lost to BAL -. The Steelers have dominated outright winning 14 of the last 15 in this series but the Browns have actually covered 4 of the last 7 meetings. PIT is just 3-8 ATS as a DD fav the L3Y while CLE has covered 5 if their L/7 as a DD dog. The NFL Marquees are % this season and this play will be released at 3 pm et Thursday! Call your Northcoast Debit Card for this Marquee Winner! BALTIMORE 31 Indianapolis 17 - Including playoffs the Colts are 7-0 SU/ATS vs the Ravens with a -9 avg score. IND finally switched to Orlovsky LW who hit for 89 yds (71%) when NE was up NE had -8 FD and yd edges before giving up 299 yds and 3 TD in the 4Q. IND also replaced DC Larry Coyer and for good reason as they are giving up 144 ypg rushing (4.1). Their #21 pass defense is allowing 3 ypg (72%) with a 21-5 ratio and their 9.3 QBR is worse than HOU s 0.5 QBR LY. Prior to LW IND only had 1 game decided by 7 or less (TB on MNF). BAL is ATS at home TY and their +78 ypg edge at home is 5th with a ATS mark as a NDIV HF. IND does have a bit of a situational edge with the large line as BAL has a road game vs SD on Thursday on deck and Harbaugh is 1-4 ATS as a DD fav. BAL did get a needed win vs an inferior foe and while they have the talent edges here the situation has us call for them by 2 TD s. Houston 21 CINCINNATI 17 - HOU has covered 3 straight winning the last meeting as a 4.5 pt AD in 09. This is a vital game for the Bengals who need an AFC win (7-3 SU, ATS) with 2 of their next 3 vs NFC foes. CIN is 1-7 ATS as a NDIV HF but HOU is 2-6 ATS as an AD. CIN has the # and #12 units (-3 TO s) the L4W in 4 games vs top 8 defenses with an 28- avg score deficit. CIN found themselves down 28-7 at the half vs PIT LW due to bad special teams play (blk d FG, fumbled KR) and penalties (6-80 yds) including a 45 yd pen to give PIT the ball on the CIN. Neither Dalton (5 yds 46% 1 TD) nor Benson (52 yds 4.0) were able to get into a rhythm. TJ Yates had a steady game vs ATL LW with 8 yds (48%) with 1 TD. He didn t turn the ball over and he had 9 FD s via the air. The defense kept ATL from getting any momentum in the 1H holding them to 6 FD and 123 yds with 4 punts, 2 int s and a FG. HOU likely won t have WR Johnson (97 yds.3) who injured his other hamstring LW. We applaud Dalton s efforts so far TY but HOU has the #14 and #1 units (+6 TO) the last 4 weeks with 2 top RB s and we ll take the road team by a FG. NY JETS 23 Kansas City - KC didn t get any favors from the schedule maker to close out the season. This is their 3rd road game in 4 Wks with home games vs GB and OAK. They are off a misleading final LW as CHI was without Cutler and Forte (right knee) was KO d in the 1Q. The 5 Chiefs won simply because the CHI offense was incompetent. KC held CHI to 6 FD and 85 yds in the 2H not because the defense was dominant but because Hanie was awful. KC has been held to or less in 5 straight games and their only offensive TD in 12 Qtrs was off a 38 yd Hail Mary pass at the end of the 1H which was tipped by Urlacher. They won the yardage battle for the 1st time since the IND game and since then they ve avg d 2 ypg (57%) with a 2- ratio in the air. The Jets #7 pass defense is the real deal as they are allowing 5 ypg (54%) with an ratio and a 6.6 ypa. Sanchez continues to be mediocre with 2 ypg (57%) with a -11 ratio which explains how the Jets have been outscored in the 1Q. The Jets are 11-4 ATS vs teams with a losing record under Rex Ryan and we ll call for them to win by in a lower scoring game. MIAMI 28 Philadelphia 21 - The Eagles playoffs hopes are gone after a disastrous road trip to SEA where Young tossed 4 int s and the defense gave up 174 yds (5.3) rushing. They have extra time to stew but the chemistry of the team is in question after their high hopes to start the season. It s unknown if Vick or Maclin will play with the playoffs out of reach. MIA matches up well statistically the L4W with the #23 and #3 units (+4 TO s) vs PHI s #7 and #25 units (-6 TO s). The Dolphins also have a good special teams edge (8 vs 23) as well. MIA has won the yardage battle in 4 of their L5 games thanks to QB Moore who has avg d 1 ypg (64%) with an 8-1 ratio. They have out rushed foes 125 (4.0) to 68 (3.1) the L6W and have only allowed 217 ypg (56%) with a 4-7 ratio the L4W. PHI has lost 4 of their L5 SU/ATS and their pass defense has been poor allowing 253 ypg (60%) with a -3 ratio due to bad safety play and CB Asomugha not fitting into the system. Despite the record MIA refuses to give up on their coach while PHI is trying to figure out what happened to their season. New England 28 WASHINGTON 21 - Shanahan has held his own vs Belichick going 5-3 SU/ ATS. Over the L4W these teams are statistically competitive with NE having the #3 and #30 units (-8 TO s) vs WAS #17 and #7 units (-5 TO s). NE is 12-2 SU/-4 ATS vs a top defense with Brady at the helm. They have also scored 30 or more in 9 games TY (7-2 ATS) with 7 games of 400 or more yards. WAS has only had 30 pts in 1 game under Shanahan (33-30 loss vs DAL LY 9 pt AD). They ve only hit 400 yds four times in their L/28 games (2-2 ATS) and their #31 rush attack (88 ypg 3.8) isn t reliable enough to control the clock vs the # rush defense. There is a concern here with WAS #5 pass rush (33 sks 1 every 11.4 att s) vs a NE OL down to its 3rd string center as Brady is a mid-line passer. Yes, NE has the #32 defense but they are th in pts allowed (.6 ppg) and 2nd in def ypp and +8 TO s TY vs WAS - TO s. We ll take the more reliable QB that is 9-3 ATS away vs a NDIV foe. Tampa Bay at JACKSONVILLE - This is just the 5th regular season meeting. Despite being at home for the 2nd straight week this is an awful situation for JAX. They are off a huge MNF game after waiving Del Rio and founder Wayne Weaver selling the team. They also have a Thursday game at ATL on deck. Prior to MNF the Jags have scored 17 or less in 6 straight games avg 232 ypg (+4 TO s) with 50% of the yards coming on the ground. The Jags are just 2-5 ATS TY vs a NDIV foe being outgained with a 29- avg score. In his 6 full starts vs a NDIV foe Gabbert has avg d 161 ypg (48%) with a 4-2 ratio and been sacked times (1 every 9.9 att s). TB rested Freeman (thumb/bruised shoulder) LW vs CAR and are 0-3 ATS vs the AFC South TY being outgained by 73 ypg with a 31- avg score. LY Freeman avg d 2 ypg (60%) with a 12-3 ratio on the road (6-0-2 ATS) but TY he s hit for 250 ypg (65%) with a 5-6 ratio. We ll hold off on making a call due to Freeman s status and we want to see how JAX fares on MNF. San Francisco 17 ARIZONA 14 - SF has covered 6 straight vs ARZ and their 23-7 win as a pt HF was the 4th straight they held ARZ under pts. SF had FD and yd edges on a rainy and muddy day with an almost 30 min TOP edge. Gore has avg d 93 ypg (4.8) in his L7 starts vs ARZ. SF hasn t allowed a 0 yd rusher in 33 games and only CIN RB Benson (64) has rushed for over 60 on them TY. While SF clinched the NFC West LW they are still battling NO for the #2 seed and Harbaugh already said he isn t going to let up late in the season. SF has showed no mercy to bad teams TY going 7-0 SU/ATS with a yd edge (+17 TO s) and a avg score. Kolb returned for ARZ LW and had 7 ypg (64%) with 1 TD vs DAL. They are 2-6 SU & 3-5 ATS under Kolb and have been outgained (-4 TO) with a 25- score deficit. ARZ had our #3 special teams prior to LW and have stolen a trio of games (CAR, both STL games) and made one closer (BAL) than it should have been. However, SF has our #2 special teams and Brad Seely is one of the best STC s in the NFL. SF gets another win in another lower scoring game. DENVER Chicago - John Fox is 0-3 ATS in the regular season vs Lovie Smith including a 23-6 loss as a 3 pt HF LY with CAR. Both teams match up fairly well statistically with CHI having the #27 and #16 units (+3 TO s) vs DEN s #25 and #22 units (+2 TO s) the L4W and both have top 5 special teams units. While DEN is 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS at home TY but three of losses came under Orton and the 4th was vs DET when the Broncos ran a conventional offense. DEN was held to 1 FD and 48 yds in the 1H vs MIN but rallied for 28 pts in the 2H to take the win. They are 6-1 SU/ATS under Tebow TY and won LW s game without LB Von Miller. They now get a CHI team travelling with shaken confidence after an abysmal effort out of Hanie who had 3 yds (46%) with 3 int and was sacked 7 times. CHI lost Forte (torn MCL) which is arguably a bigger blow than losing Cutler. CHI punted on 7 of 14 drives LW with 3 TO s, 2 SOD, 1 FG and 1 missed FG. CHI is in disarray and DEN has all the momentum here and are the pick in a lower scoring game. SAN DIEGO 31 Buffalo 17 - The Chargers are essentially out of the playoff hunt in December for the 1st time since 03 and Norv Turner s time is limited. They are off LW s MNF game vs JAX and have a SNF vs BAL on deck. This is BUF s 4th road game in 5 Wks and both teams have been ravaged by injuries TY. Rivers has only had WR s Jackson, Floyd, TE Gates and RB Mathews together for 2 games TY and was behind his 4th different OL in as many weeks vs JAX. SD is 1-5 ATS at home TY outgaining foes by 69 ypg (-3 TO s) vs 163 ypg (-2 TO s) LY. Eleven games into the season SD doesn t have half () the sacks of LY s #2 pass rush (47) and it shows as they went from 6.4 ypa with an -16 ratio to 8.0 ypa with a - ratio. There is no question it is tough backing a Chargers team that has dropped 6 straight both SU/ATS prior to last MN but we can t see them quitting on the season. The Bills had excitement early this season after a 5-2 start but now they are traveling for a 4th time in 5 weeks having lost 5 straight. If you have the guts there s value here for the taking. NY Giants at DALLAS - The Cowboys can take control of the NFC East with a win here. Dallas however has struggled in the role of a div HF going 4- ATS. The Giants are clearly in desperation mode and off a brutal schedule of NE, SF, PHI, NO and GB they ve now dropped 4 straight to fall to 6-6. It s put up or shut up for the NYG and this Sunday Night Marquee is just $9 on the Northcoast Sports Debit Card system after 11am EST Sunday Morning! St Louis at SEATTLE - The Rams continue to battle attrition and it showed in last week s mauling at SF. Seattle certainly has a huge situational edge off a Thursday night win vs PHI still having playoff life, albeit faint. The Seahawks haven t been a HF often and in fact lost outright to WAS in the only occurrence TY. Call after 3:00 pm ET for your Monday Night Magic Winner on your NC Debit Card.

Fundamental handicapping, or the analysis of personnel matchups & power ratings, is our main method of handicapping. This accounts for roughly 50% of how we view a game. Situational handicapping (analysis of letdown, look ahead, systems) takes up approximately 25% of our handicapping. Technical handicapping (analysis of angles) takes up the rest. You should never base your final selection on 1 factor. To be a complete handicapper you must look at all 3 methods. For more complete analysis you should read Ten Keys To A Winning Season. Each week in Power Sweep we provide the angle section to add to your handicapping arsenal. Many times we will agree with the angle plays. Sometimes the Fundamental & Situational aspects of a game will outweigh the angles & we have the other side written up in Power Sweep. We want to make it clear that the side we write up in Power Sweep is the side we are on. We are NOT Technical handicappers, but we do use them in our handicapping analysis.
