No Gaborik, and no Drury spells so little offense for NYR. Avalanche will win this, with a comfortable lean on the Under. Colorado 3 NY Rangers 1 |

Will first preface this with my not having any faith nor tolerance in Jacksonville. Yet, since the back-to-back embarrassments at San Diego, and at home versus Philly, something snapped the Jags out of it. They're playing well above their potential (not admitting much, true). Say Chris Johnson goes down early aggravating his hamstring; other than J Ringer, who do the Titans have to establish the run? At early October last year, same place, David J broke up that Tennessee secondary for 305 yards and 3 TDs. Jacksonville won easily. For the simple fact that Tennessee is bringing so very little tonight in way of receivers, and their defense (apart from those very DBs) is a bric-a-brac of those promoted from the practice squad and/or waiver wire fodder. Laugh. Titans are looking undermatched, and it will reflect by half-time. Jacksonville 34 Tennessee 20 |

If it were in Phoenix, I'd be all over the 'Yotes. Anaheim has started slow. One too many offensive components not to go the Ducks way. Typically, wouldn't go against Phoenix, yet they're coming off a late back-to-back, and the Ducks are at high-time for a breakout at home. Anaheim 4 Phoenix 2 |

Apart from a frightening contest in Cleveland, and the odds finally balancing toward Atlanta in New Orleans, these very Falcons have extreme difficulty winning on the road. Had to also scroll way the Hell back to see when Atlanta last won in Philadelphia. Still, Lincoln FF isn't exactly Veterans. Would one dare to claim the Eagles will go half the season before winning at home? It's still relatively early for this type of matchup to matter. See how contradictory this reads already? Laugh. In the end, I have Atlanta as the NFC rep in the Super Bowl. They'll at some crisis, turning point (within the next month) correct the road woes. Simply not today. This game is like the lady at the club, surrounded by three or four of her friends, that none of the other fellows approach. She likely is a carrier, where you'd catch something you might be ashamed of. Still, nonetheless enticing. Whah ha! You're on the prowl, after all. Philadelphia 27 Atlanta 21 |

NYJ have had it 'easy and breezy', coasting along, as if they're playing Detroit or Oakland every week, or simply walkin' the dog. That very dog at some much delayed point covers. That there's a hook here, lifting it to -3.5, is precisely why I'm taking Denver. This'll be that late afternoon contest which goes down to-the-wire. Even if it were at an even 3, I still need to lean toward the Broncos; to the tune of 27-24. That vile term 'push' would otherwise apply here - and everyone knows they simply don't pay. A push doesn't give you anything when wagering but a sheer headache. Comfortably taking Denver +3.5, with a long look at the OVER. Good luck to all! |

Far too much emphasis on the Favre distraction. Then, at the eleventh hour, he says, "I'm going to play my heart out tonight!" More nonsense to influence the betting public. NYJ have proven tenfold they can win with true team distractions - anything from jurisprudence (Braylon with a DUI - so what?) to female Mexican reporters in the locker room (has happened many times before, with very little media making a release of it). Happens far more than what any team would care to admit. What remains is an uneven scale, heavily weighing in the Jets favour. Adrian Peterson ? About past-due for a costly fumble. Randy Moss? Easing him into an albeit very simple Childress offensive playbook. Berrian? Still worthless, with no such connecting with Favre. As for #4 himself? When he's magnified, under a severe negative scope, he typically costs the team the victory (See: When he was in NY, getting torn apart in all media mediums for "coming out of retirement" - the first time). The Jets have loads more in way of intangibles tonight, and Rex Ryan will outcoach Childress any week of the season. NYJ show that they're bona fide, 'for real' tonight. This result will be well outside -4. Think more on the line of 21-13. Yes, I'll stick with that. |

Last time Jets were at home, Sanchez exploited the Pats' secondary. Minnesota is looking no better, especially at safety (Mad Williams and Husain Abdullah). This is a severe Vikings weakness, and the Jets are also throwing Santonio Holmes into the mix Monday night. From Tuesday, the line hasn't altered but going now up, from down, by a mere half-point. Randy Moss hasn't influenced the betting public to the point where this should go down considerably. Was readily assuming by game night, this would be NYJ -2.5. Not the case, and this seems to spell a rare underdog NOT covering. Childress' Vikings have long been terrible on the east coast. Prime time versus AFC, and he fares even worse. Nightclub jitters, indeed. Jets will cover here, with or without a bum Favre elbow. Revis won't truly need a double-team on Moss, welcoming a rematch from that one-handed TD burn when #84 was still a discontent Pat. This leaves B Berrian, and Percy Harvin not getting the ball quite enough. With that, I'd sooner lean on the Under. NY Jets 21 Minnesota 13 |

Minnesota is just plain sorry. This could stretch to -27.5 for Wisconsin, and I'd make no hesitation in running with that. Minnesota couldn't stop a South Dakota running game, nor the fierce Northern Illinois (detect slight facetious tone) backs. How, and by what early point will the Badgers hit 300 yards rushing? Half time! Wisconsin 48 Gophers 20 (and that's a generous tally for MN) |

Perhaps a new attendance record set today in that expanded house at Ann Arbor. Spartans endured with this recent adversity, and have proven they're 'for real' following the Wisconsin contest. As per usual in heavy rivalries within the Big Ten, this one will blow up mid-3rd Quarter. MSU will show more balance than what the Wolverines can counter with in merely Robinson. Or so I'll think. . . MSU 41 Michigan 35 |

Why prolong Minnesotan misery? If Duensing were pitching at Target Field, the Twins would stand half a chance. Simply not in the cards today. There are one too many well past-due in the Yankees lineup. Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher, and A-Rod finally contribute in this series finale. Gardenhire is MLB's version of Marty Schottenheimer and/or Norv Turner - never going to win it all in their respective games. NY Yankees 10 Minnesota 4 |

A slim line which pays much of nothing either way.
A load of AAA are in the lineup for MN the last two in KC. That comes with scattered scouting, thus the high-scoring between these two. It will come to an end tonight. Hochevar needs to show more than flashes. Baker is vying to be kept in the Twins post-season rotation. Fuentes (KC hitters are under .200 vs him) and Capps are also fresh today; an ideal setting for shutting the Royals down. Take the Twins, with a slight lean at the Under. Minnesota 5 Kansas City 2

New England will be forced to establish the run this week, and with what?
Carson Palmer was having flashes of an genuine All-Pro last Sunday, and even Mark Sanchez can look to exploit the Pats defensive secondary again today. NYJ show up in fine fashion this afternoon, and it won't take a shakin', hesitant finger in pulling the trigger. Jets 23 New England 17

Bengals simply aren't forming a defense. Far more talent than last season, yet it wasn't reflected vs New England.
Ravens have a short week (as many have and will note), and it hardly matters today. C Benson was a non-factor last week, and should get some clock-eating today. That, with Ray Rice being more of a presence for Baltimore, and there's a fine lean on the Under. Or, perhaps not. . .? Ravens 24 Bengals 20

Miami are a scrappy lot this year. Look for a foolish MN underestimating of Brian Hartline. He's the dark horse in this contest.
Camarillo will have a fine day, yet balancing that against a full function of the Wild Cat (actually working this week), and one too many failed double coverage of Marshall, the Dolphins hold the edge. The Vikings will display more of their weakness this Sunday. Just how the defensive secondary wasn't exposed in the first game was simply due to New Orleans working out early-season kinks. Henne's numbers will be better than even Favre's in this one. Miami 23 Minnesota 20

Ingram could rest here as well, and the Tide would still cover. The sole hesitance on taking the Over is by mid-third quarter, Alabama will have second-team inserts, and go from there.
No heavy psychic claims, yet. . .this is how it'll turn out: Alabama 44 Duke 13 (What was the O/U again? Laugh)

Liking Detroit's weaponry far better than what Chicago is placing on the field.
At minimum, this is a Lions cover. Cutler will be a scramblin', errant-throwing mess yet again today. More interceptions, yet what's of more concern for the Bears is how many times he'll be slammed on his back. The day's ugliest contest: Detroit 23 Chicago 20

Kings have won the last five versus the Ducks, and are on a mean nine-game winning streak going into tonight. Ducks are vying for a quick loss of embarrassment, and hanging on for merely the 8th spot in the conference. Like Hiller coming up big here, for perhaps one too many might be reminding him just how well Giguere has been since the departure from Anaheim. Ducks 4 Kings 1 |

Toronto looks solid since their trades. Giguere aiming for a third consecutive home shutout? Not against San Jose. Still, Sharks going into a third road contest, with the full day off in between each of these. As impressive as it has been, I'll take the Leafs in this spot. Maple Leafs 5 Sharks 3 |
