Buffalo Bills at Jacksonville Jaguars

The Buffalo Bills offense has really struggled this season and this week they fired their head coach after a horrible 3-6 start. The Bills are averaging 15.6 PPG while the D hasn’t been very good either allowing 23.3 points per contest. Today the Bills will start Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB and he’s looked better than Edwards has this season. The Bills have played over the total in 6 of their last 8 road games and in their last 7 as a road dog the over is 5-2. The over is 5-0 in Buffalo’s last 5 games played in week 11.

Jacksonville is averaging 20.1 PPG and are allowing 24.4 PPG this season. The Jaguars have played over the total in 6 of their 9 games this season. At home the Jaguars are averaging 25.2 PPG and have played over the total in all 4 home games this season. The over is 8-2-2 in Jacksonville’s last 12 games played in November. The over is 12-3-2 in the Jaguars last 17 games as a favorite. In their last 17 games following an ATS cover the over is a profitable 11-5-1.

The Bills will play with a lot more emotion in week 11 and looks for Fitzpatrick to move the offense down the field. The Jaguars haven’t been very good against the pass and for the Bills to have any chance they’ll have to throw the ball today. The Jaguars will continue to put up points vs. a Bills D that hasn’t been very good this season. Look for an entertaining and high-scoring game in Jacksonville this afternoon.

Los Angeles Kings at Tampa Bay Lightning

Both teams have question marks surrounding their goaltending situation and both clubs have some pretty special offensive players. This one will be a barn burner in Tampa tonight.

The Kings played on Friday and were blown out by the Atlanta Thrashers 7-0. The Kings used both of their goalies in the game and they combined to give up 7 goals and make a total of 14 stops. The Kings have now played over the total in their last 2 games and you can expect a tired team tonight as the Kings play their third game in four nights. LA has played the over in 4 of their last 6 games and 3 of them have been on the road. The over is 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a team from the Southeast Division.

The Lightning are playing a lot better offensively and look for them to capitalize against the Kings tonight. Tampa has played over the total in 8 of their last 10 games vs. a Western Conference opponent. The over is a profitable 11-5-1 in Tampa’s last 17 home games. In their last 24 games vs. a team with a winning record the over is a profitable 15-7-2. The over is 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a team from the Pacific Division.

Both teams are fast and will put up goals in this game. A fast Tampa team will take care of a tired Kings team resulting in a high-scoring game.

Florida Panthers at Boston Bruins

The Florida Panthers are averaging 2.5 GPG on the season and their 2.5 GPG ranks them 22nd in the NHL on offense. The Panthers come into this one having played under the total in 3 of their last 4 games. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 games played vs. a team with a losing record. In their last 21 games played on a Thursday the under is a profitable 16-5. The Panthers D is allowing more goals than it would like but when either of their goalies, Vokoun or Clemmenson, are on their games this team can play a boring low scoring game.

The Bruins are struggling to score goals as well this season averaging 2.3 GPG which ranks 28th in the league. Boston has played under the total in 6 of their last 7 games overall. In their last 6 home games the under is 5-1. The under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. In their last 5 games vs. a team from the Eastern Conference the under is 4-1 and in their last 10 vs. a team from the Southeast Division the under is 5-2-3.

The over has been more profitable in the past when these two teams meet but this season with both struggling to find their offense this one will be a low scoring game.

Game Time: Sunday, November 8, 2009 1:00 PM
Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears

The Arizona Cardinals are averaging 27.3 PPG on the road while holding the opposition to only 12.3 per contest resulting in a 3-0 SU and ATS road record. Arizona has gone into New York, Seattle and Jacksonville and easily took care of the opposition. The Cardinals are coming off an embarrassing home loss to the Panthers and will look to get back on track in Chicago this week. Arizona is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. In their last 8 games vs. NFC opponents they are 6-2 at the window. The Cardinals are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games following a SU loss. In their last 6 games as a dog they are 6-0 ATS.

Chicago is 3-0 SU and ATS at home but their home wins have come against Cleveland, Detroit and the Steelers the only tough team of the bunch. The Bears are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win. Chicago is 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning record. The Bears have had trouble vs. good passing team’s allowing 45 points to the Bengals and 21 to the Falcons and Packers so look for Warner to get back on track in this one.

The Cardinals will rebound after that horrible game vs. the Panthers last week. Kurt Warner and the offense will make it difficult for the Bears D that is allowing 21.4 PPG this season. In the last 7 meetings between the clubs the Cardinals are 6-1 ATS and today they’ll be the team that exits this games 5-3 SU.

Game Time: Saturday, November 7, 2009 7:00 PM

New Jersey Devils at Ottawa Senators

The New Jersey Devils played and won last night and come into this one having won 8 of their last 10 games overall. On the season the Devils are 10-4 and their 20-points have them sitting in third place in the tough Atlantic Division. The Devils have been very good on the road this season going a perfect 7-0 so far. On the road they are averaging 2.71 GPG while the D and Marty Brodeur are holding the opposition to 1.71 GPG. The Devils are 11-4 in their last 14 games vs. a team from the Northeast Division.

Over their last 10 games the Senators are 5-5 and need to play a lot better if they want to make the playoffs. They have 16-points so far this season and are ties for second place in the Northeast Division. In their last 10 games vs. a team with a wining % above .600 the Senators are 2-8. Ottawa comes into this one having lost 4 of their last 6 games and facing a team that is playing very well now.

In the last 6 meetings between the clubs the Devils are 6-0. New Jersey played last night and won with their back-up goalie between the pipes so you can expect a fresh Martin Brodeur to be in net tonight and that means trouble for Ottawa. Look for the Devils to continue being perfect on the road this season.

Atlanta Falcons at Dallas Cowboys

Both teams came into the year with high expectations and while the Falcons have quietly gone about their business the Cowboys have loudly disappointed. Big NFC battle for both clubs today in Dallas.

The Falcons are off to a 4-1 SU and ATS start. Offensively they are averaging 24.6 PPG while their D is holding the opposition to 15.4 per contest. The addition of Tony Gonzalez is really helping Matt Ryan and the offense move the ball. The Falcons are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played in week 7. Atlanta is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played in October. In their last 16 games as a road dog of 3.5-10 the Falcons are 11-5 at the window.

Dallas is coming off their bye and hope to improve their overall game. The Cowboys are 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS to start the season. Dallas is averaging 24.4 PPG while the D is allowing 19.6 per contest. In their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record the Cowboys are 2-5 ATS and in their last 4 overall vs. a team with a winning record they are 0-4 at the window. Dallas is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played in October.

The Falcons come into this one playing better on all sides of the ball. In the last 5 meetings between the clubs the Falcons are 4-1 SU and ATS and they’ll take this one as well in Dallas. Too many points given to the Cowboys today.

Carolina Hurricanes at Minnesota Wild

The Hurricanes played in Colorado last night and lost 5-4, another road loss. Carolina is averaging 2.20 GPG on the road while allowing 4.40 per road game and the result has been 0-5 on the road to start the season. The Hurricanes are 2-7 on the season overall and come into this one having lost 5 straight games. Cam Ward has been decent between the pipes but he hasn’t stolen a game of late for the Hurricanes. Carolina has lost 13 of their last 16 games dating back to last season. In their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record they are 1-4.

After losing last night in St. Louis Minnesota is also off to a horrible 2-7 start to the season. The Wild have played 7 road games already and are 0-7 but tonight they’ll be at home where they are 2-0 on the year. At home Minnesota is averaging 3.00 GPG while giving up 2.50 GPG. Dating back to last season the Wild have won 5 straight at home. In their last 30 games vs. a team from the Southeast Division they are 22-6-2. The schedule hasn’t been kind to Minnesota to start the season but with 3 of their next 5 games at home where they are usually good look for them to turn it around a bit.

The home team is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings between the clubs. Minnesota has won 2 of the last 3 meetings with Carolina and with them being at home tonight they’ll have the edge in this one.

Game Time: Sunday, October 18, 2009 4:00 PM

McNabb returned to the Eagles in week 5 and looked very good against a weak Tampa team and expect him to put up even bigger numbers in week 6 vs. a horrible Raiders team. The Raiders can’t score and have a tough time playing D and until they start resembling a real NFL team they are going to be big dogs and unfortunately they won’t be able to cover the line.

The Eagles are 3-1 SU and ATS and are getting healthier which is bad news for their opponents. Philadelphia is averaging 31.8 PPG while the D has allowed an average of 21.5 per contest. The D can and will get better but when you have such a potent offense it can work itself out. In their last 12 games overall the Eagles are 9-3 ATS. In their last 10 games played on grass they are a profitable 8-2 ATS. The Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record and in their last 18 road games they are 13-5 ATS.

Oakland is a really bad team that isn’t showing any signs of getting better. The Raiders are 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS but nothing about them makes you believe that they can win or even keep a game close vs. a good team like the Eagles. They are only averaging 9.8 PPG while allowing 26 per contest and that equals blowout. In their last 51 home games Oakland is 15-35-1 ATS and in their last 28 as a home dog they are 8-20 ATS. The Raiders are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games played in October.

This game shouldn’t be close in any shape way or form. In a teaser the Eagles are a great play and at the current -14 the Eagles are still a great play. This one will be a laugher all the way through.

Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators

Big game for two teams in the Western Conference’s Central Division. The Blackhawks are leading the division while the Predators are currently in last place. This is always a competitive division and just like last year there will be more than one team from this division that will get into the playoffs.

Chicago played at home last night and beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-3. The Blackhawks are off to a 4-1-1 start to the season. This is a very good young and talented team that will challenge the Red Wings for the division and no one will be surprised if they win it. Chicago started back-up goalie Antii Niemi between the pipes last night so expect Huet to be in goal tonight. Huet hasn’t played as well as the team hoped but expect a good performance from him tonight.

Nashville was in Dallas last night and they lost 6-0 and are now 2-3 to start the season. Both of their goalies saw action on Wednesday night and both gave up 3 goals. The Predators are having trouble scoring goals and that’s what’s caused the bad start out of the gate. Prior to last night’s shutout they were averaging 1.50 GPG and after three home games they are averaging 1.33 goals in front of the home fans.

Right now the Blackhawks are playing a lot better and they’ll easily take this one in Nashville. Chicago has won 3 of the last 4 meetings between the clubs and tonight they do it again.

Oakland Raiders at New York Giants

Two teams going in opposite directions meet-up in New York in week 5. The Raiders have been rebuilding for several season’s now and the results aren’t showing. Too much incompetence surrounds this organization and that’s why they’re headed to another disappointing season. The Giants on the other hand have looked solid and another Super Bowl trip is not out of the question.

In week one the Raiders played the Chargers tough and in week 2 the narrowly beat the Chiefs then in week’s three and four the real Raiders showed up and lost big. Oakland is 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS but this is a very bad team heading south very fast. The Raiders are averaging a pathetic 10.5 PPG while the D is allowing 21.5 per contest. Their QB JaMarcus Russell is a horrible QB and the Raiders look very dumb wasting the first overall pick on him. He may develop into a good QB but up to now he looks like a major bust. His QB rating after four weeks is 42.4 and without anyone pushing him he’ll continue to take the field week in and week out.

The New York Giants have jumped out of the gate and are 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS and they are doing it with ease. Eli Manning doesn’t miss Plax at all and his WR’s Steve Smith and Mario Manningham have been great early in the season. The Giants are averaging 26.8 PPG and their D is allowing an average of 16 per game. If Manning takes the field in this one he won’t be 100% but they Giants will run all over the Raiders and will easily win this one even if David Carr is behind center. The Giants are 17-4-1 ATS in their last 22 games played in October.

New York has the significant edge in all major categories in this one and they’ll easily show how much better than the Raiders they are in this one. Look for the Giants to easily win this game.
