Philadelphia heads to Cincinnati following having a 3 game winning streak snapped, 31-36, in an important Division loss on Sunday Night Football to the NY Giants in their first of two meetings this season. Expect these Eagles to rebound with a HUGE effort against a 1-8 Bengals squad as we find Philly at an incredible 13-1 ATS after facing the G-Men. Lay the lumber as the Eagles are already 2-1 SU & ATS as road Favorites this season.
Pick title: 2* Atlanta -6 1/2
Pick Date: 11/16/2008
Pick description:
Carbon copy of last week for Atlanta when they led New Orleans 27-6. Denver can score but they play no defense. They’ve allowed 30 or more in three straight and six times this season. The Broncos are 5-11 SU on the road in their last 16 and this is the first time in 2008 they are playing the 2nd of back-to-back road games. The last two times this sequence occurred in 2007 Denver lost at San Diego by 20 and at Oakland by 14. Denver allows 5.1 yards per carry and Michael Turner’s biggest games this year have come at the Georgia Dome. This is the first time the Broncos are in a domed stadium this year. Last season they lost at Detroit by 37 and at Indianapolis by 18. The ATS victory at Cleveland last week was the 3rd for the Broncos on enemy fields in their last 15 attempts. Denver is still beat up on both sides of the ball and the Falcons have become a very physical team this year. Atlanta is 4-0 SU and ATS at home averaging 32 points a game. Matt Ryan is 33-of-45 in his last two games and the Birds have the #1 rushing offense in the league. That’s a tough combination and don’t forget how difficult it’s been for teams out west to travel east and play at the 1PM Eastern Time hour. With Denver ranked #27 or below in every defensive category, there is no reason to believe the Falcons won’t manhandle this opponent. Atlanta recently has won and covered six straight versus teams that are ranked in the bottom half of team defensive statistics. They are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 versus the AFC. Denver is #28 in pass defense allowing 14 touchdowns with only three interceptions. Atlanta had three picks alone against Drew Brees last week thanks to a solid pass rush spearheaded by the quick John Abraham. I think it really helps the Falcons playing a similar opponent last Sunday in New Orleans. Last week the Saints #1 ranked offense didn’t reach the end zone until the 4th quarter.
