#220 Cleveland Browns -1.5 (1:00 est)

The Browns will be very ready to stick it to their long time rival especially since the Steelers are ripe for the sticking this season. Pittsburgh's offense is not doing well this season and they may be emotionally not all there after getting a game handed to them last week by the Lions. Cleveland will be eager to atone for their mistakes last week that took them from a 13 point lead to a 21 point loss. The Cleveland defense is very good, look for them to make Big Ben's life miserable here enroute to a Browns win.

Packers try to end 3-game slide Sunday vs. Vikings
by Brian Graham

Kickoff: Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET
Line: Green Bay -5, Total: 43.5

Slumping NFC North foes with quarterback questions meet Sunday when the Packers host the Vikings.

Minnesota will reluctantly stick with struggling QB Christian Ponder who was horrible in Sunday’s 41-20 loss at Seattle with 5.9 YPA and 2 INT. This drops his team to 1-8 SU on American soil this year, and 1-5 SU (2-4 ATS) since that lone away win in London over the Steelers in Week 4. Green Bay has managed just 15.3 PPG during three straight losses (SU and ATS) without QB Aaron Rodgers, who is still at least one week away from returning from his broken collarbone. This leaves QB Scott Tolzien (3 INT last week) as the starter for Sunday. The Packers outgained the Vikings 464-243 in a 44-31 win at Minnesota in Week 8, making them 7-1 SU (6-2 ATS) in the past eight meetings of this series. Both teams have significant trends in their favor this week. Mike McCarthy is 14-3 ATS (82%) versus awful passing defenses (64%+ comp. pct.) in the second half of the season since becoming the Green Bay head coach, but the Vikings fall into the category of road teams coming off a road defeat and revenging a loss against an opponent, who are 72-32 ATS (69%) in these instances over the past 10 seasons. Both teams have a slew of injuries, most notably Minnesota top WR Greg Jennings (Achilles) and two key Packers defenders, LB Nick Perry (foot) and CB Sam Shields (hamstring), who are all listed as questionable for Sunday.

Minnesota QB Christian Ponder is 1-6 as a starter this year, throwing for just 1,375 yards (6.8 YPA), 6 TD and 9 INT in these seven games. He has had some success against Green Bay in his three-year career though, throwing for 234 yards and 3 TD in Week 17 last year to help his team secure a playoff berth. But this season, the Vikings rank 26th in the NFL in total offense (317.7 YPG), including 25th in passing offense (206.2 YPG). This shows that the team should be running the football more where they average 4.6 yards per carry (5th in NFL). RB Adrian Peterson has been bothered by a groin injury, but he will play on Sunday. That's bad news for the Packers considering Peterson has rushed for 1,601 yards on 5.5 YPC with 11 TD in 14 career games against them. The reigning MVP has scored 10 touchdowns for the seventh time in his seven NFL seasons, but after averaging 131.1 rushing YPG on 6.0 YPC last year, those numbers have plummeted to 85.1 rushing YPG on 4.4 YPC this season. The Vikings defense has been terrible this season, allowing the most points (32.0 PPG) and the third-most yards in the NFL (391.7 YPG), including 280.1 passing YPG (4th-worst in league). An NFL-worst defense on third downs (49% conversions) is a big reason why this unit has been on the field for 33:38, which is the second-longest duration of any NFL team. They have forced just two turnovers in the past six games combined, while tallying just 13 sacks during this span.

Although Packers QB Scott Tolzien forced some bad throws in his 3-INT showing last week, he also finished with a 71% completion rate, 339 passing yards and 10.0 yards per attempt. Six different players caught multiple passes from Tolzien, led by WRs Jordy Nelson (8 catches, 117 yards) and Jarrett Boykin (6 catches, 91 yards). Nelson dominated the Vikings in Week 8 with 123 yards and two scores, while Boykin chipped in with 89 yards on five catches (17.8 avg). But a huge disappointment last week was the ground game that managed just 55 yards on 20 carries (2.8 YPC), a far cry from the 153 YPG and 5.0 YPC that the team averaged in the previous eight games. Rookie RB Eddie Lacy has been solid in his rookie season with 696 rushing yards on 4.0 YPC, but he ran for just 3.2 YPC (94 yards on 29 carries) in the win over the Vikings. Green Bay's defense has been pretty effective in stopping the run, ranking tied for 12th in the league with 103.8 YPG allowed, but the pass defense has been poor, surrendering 247.1 passing YPG (21st in NFL) with 18 TD and just 4 INT. Although the red zone defense has been lackluster (56%, 19th in NFL), the Packers' third-down defense has been strong (36%, T-10th in NFL). Green Bay needs to make more big plays though, forcing just four turnovers in the past seven games combined.

Panthers seek 7th straight win visiting Miami
By: Brian Graham

Kickoff: Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET
Line: Carolina -4, Total: 41

The sizzling-hot Panthers put their six-game winning streak (SU and ATS) on the line when they pay the Dolphins a visit Sunday.

Carolina held on to beat the Patriots 24-20 on Monday night behind 3 TD passes from Cam Newton, while Miami gave up 435 yards to the Chargers last week, but still won 20-16. The Panthers have outscored opponents 154 to 88 during their win streak, and have not turned the ball over in four of those wins. The Dolphins have a weak 26:40 time of possession at home this year, where they are 3-2 (SU and ATS), but are a perfect 4-0 (SU and ATS) all-time versus Carolina, which includes a 24-17 victory in the most recent matchup in 2009. However, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera is 21-11 ATS (66%) in games played on a grass field, and has led his team to an 8-1 ATS mark (89%) in the past two seasons versus teams allowing 350+ total YPG, outscoring them by 10.7 PPG. Miami is 6-0 ATS at home after having lost 4 or 5 out of their last six games over the past three seasons, and all NFL underdogs (or pick) in a game involving two teams with +/- 0.4 yards per play after 8+ games, after allowing 400+ yards in their previous game are 108-64 ATS (63%) since 1983. Miami's offensive line is decimated with OT Jonathan Martin on personal leave, OG Richie Incognito suspended, C Mike Pouncey (kidney) doubtful and OT Will Yeatman out for the season with a torn ACL. Carolina is mostly healthy, but DE Charles Johnson (knee) is doubtful to suit up on Sunday.

Carolina QB Cam Newton is having his best season of his career, tallying a 91.8 passer rating with a 63.2% completion rate, 2,179 yards (7.3 YPA), 16 TD and only 8 INT. During the current six-game win streak, he has completed 67.4% of his throws for 1,294 yards (7.5 YPA), 10 TD and 3 INT. Although this offense ranks 22nd in the league in total yards (321.2 YPG), Newton has orchestrated the NFL's best third-down offense (48.4% conversions) while chewing up more clock than any other offense in the league with a hefty 33:20 time of possession. Newton has helped to achieve these statistics by rushing for 328 yards on 4.7 YPC and 4 TD. The Panthers also have three other capable running backs in DeAngelo Williams (579 rush yards, 4.1 YPC, 2 TD), Jonathan Stewart (94 rush yards, 3.6 YPC) and Mike Tolbert (230 rush yards, 3.5 YPC, 4 TD), giving them the 10th-best rushing offense in the league at 125.3 YPG. As strong as Carolina has been on the ground, the club has been even tougher defending the run, allowing only 84.5 rushing YPG (3rd in NFL) on 3.8 YPC (8th in league). Teams have struggled to throw on the Panthers as well, gaining just 209.5 YPG through the air (5th in NFL). This equates to the league's third-best total defense (294 YPG allowed) and the NFL's top scoring defense (13.5 PPG allowed). Carolina has a strong pass rush (31 sacks, T-9th in NFL), and has been incredibly stingy both on third downs (35.2% conversions, 7th in league) and in the red zone (37.5% efficiency, 3rd in NFL). The Panthers have also done a great job creating mistakes, totaling 23 takeaways with at least one forced turnover in all 10 games.

Miami's offense has been terrible this season, compiling the second-fewest yards in the league (308 YPG) and ranking 23rd in scoring offense with 21.3 PPG. Both the passing game (219.1 YPG, 20th in NFL) and rushing game (88.7 YPG, 24th in league) have been subpar, and a lot of that has to do with the poor play from the offensive line. The Dolphins have taken an NFL-high 41 sacks this year, with QB Ryan Tannehill hitting the turf at least two times in all 10 games, including 21 sacks absorbed in five home games. Tannehill has still been able to improve from his rookie season though, increasing his passer rating from 76.1 to 81.5 with a 61.2% completion rate, 2,474 passing yards (6.8 YPA), 14 TD and 11 INT. However, he has really struggled in the fourth quarter of games, compiling a woeful 60.2 passer rating (2 TD and 5 INT). The Dolphins have no receivers with even 600 yards this year, and TE Charles Clay (4 TD) is the only healthy Miami player with more than two receiving touchdowns this season. The running game has been a bit inconsistent, but it does have 100+ yards in four of the past five contests. However, both RBs Lamar Miller (467 rush yards, 4.5 YPC, 2 TD) and Daniel Thomas (271 rush yards, 3.7 YPC, 3 TD) will have a difficult time gaining yards on this stout Panthers run defense. Speaking of defense, Miami's stop-unit has been below average this year both in rushing defense (122.6 YPG, 25th in NFL) and passing defense (242.3 YPG, 19th in league). But a strong red zone defense (50%, T-8th in NFL) has led to a quality scoring defense (22.5 PPG, 12th in league). And despite being average in third down defense (37.6% conversions, T-24th in NFL), Miami's defense has logged 32:38 per game, the fourth-most of any NFL defense. But on the positive side, the Dolphins have been able to force at least one turnover in every game, totaling 17 takeaways this season.

WINNING POINTS

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

South Carolina* over Florida International by 19
The FIU athletic department has tried to be Hollywood with its basketball headcoaching hires, first getting Isiah Thomas, who helped ruin them more than they
already were, then Little Pitino, who used them as boldly as a program could be used,
then bolted after one season. The current group will no doubt suffer for the AD’s follies.
SOUTH CAROLINA, 71-52.

**PREFERRED
Harvard over Colorado* by 9
Right after Christmas last year, Harvard beat Cal in Berkeley, then lost by one point
to St. Mary’s in whatever northern California town that team plays in. That was two
NCAA Tournament teams, as was Harvard. Of course, you also remember that
Harvard beat New Mexico in the first round of the NCAAs last year. Anyone want to
put this particular Colorado team into the Big Dance right now? This won’t be an
intimidating venue for the visitor, and the Buffs have put up only 60 and 63 points vs.
Baylor and Wyoming so far.
HARVARD, 76-67.

Washington State* over TCU by 12
Better squads than these ho-hum TCU turkeys have turned a trip to Pullman, WA into
a nightmare.
WASHINGTON STATE, 80-68.

Oregon* over San Francisco by 24
There are many quick and agile Ducks who can quack up the other side on any given
night. Earth to the two-man show of USF’s Doolin and Dickerson: look out, now.
OREGON, 92-68.

2K CLASSIC DETROIT

Second of back-to-backs for both. You always want to be a gruesome person and see

PRO BASKETBALL

***BEST BET
Detroit over *Brooklyn by 5
Deron Williams still has ankle problems and the Nets have yet to come together laden
with chemistry issues as their aging veterans look to find their roles. The Pistons were
off to their typical slow start, but their roster is upgraded. They are an undervalued
commodity right now. Their offense went into last weekend averaging triple digits and
they have two solid rebounders in Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe, one of the
best all-purpose wingmen in Josh Smith and firepower at point guard with Greg
Jennings.
DETROIT 102-97.

*Los Angeles Clippers over Chicago by 6
Chicago is playing its third of six consecutive road games. Derrick Rose and Joakim
Noah haven't been 100 percent.
LA CLIPPERS 103-97.

*Orlando over Phoenix by 1
Both teams have been better than advertised. Orlando has covered six of its last eight
versus Western Conference foes, but just had to play at Miami last night. The Suns'
only non-cover during their first nine games was losing by two in overtime to
Brooklyn as a one-point underdog.
ORLANDO 92-91.

*Oklahoma City over Utah by 12
Utah has lost by nine or more points in seven of its first nine losses, but until Russell
Westbrook gets back to normal we don't want to lay huge numbers with Oklahoma
City. Westbrook entered last weekend shooting just 40 percent from the floor while
committing 4.7 turnovers per game.
OKLAHOMA CITY 102-90.

*Los Angeles Lakers over Sacramento by 5
Over the total might be the way to look as neither team plays defense and the Lakers
were the fastest-paced team in the league averaging 103 possessions. Steve Blake has done a capable job filling in for injured Steve Nash.
LA LAKERS 114-109.
