2**San Fran/Detroit under 7(even)(win)
with the big storm Sandy approaching, according to just about all weather predictors, most of the northeast is likely to lose power. If that is the case don't be surprised if I am dark for mon and tues. Weather.com says that Mass is going to be spared the brunt of the storm, but still get the outer bands bringing lower winds but high rain totals. I am hoping for the best.
Sun play
There is still the chance that Verlander goes on 3 days rest here. Some books are not putting up lines on the game until this becomes more clear. I will go with the assumption of a Cain/Scherzer matchup for this play. If there is a switch to Verlander, I still like the Giants here to finish this series. .

4000 units- Eagles -3 over Falcons
Not many coaches are better than Andy Reid off of a bye. Eagles can't let the Giants disappear in to the sunset and this would be a good victory for an Eagles team that doesn't do anything the easy way. I think the Eagles win this one going away against a Falcons team that has looked like a 500 team rather than an undefeated team the last few weeks. Eagles by 10 for one of the few easy victories in the NFL this year.
2000 units- Steelers -4 over Redskins
Steelers are a different team at home. Although Troy's still on the sideline's I think the Steelers defense comes up big against RGIII.Comment

POWER ANGLE PLAY
PHILADELPHIA -3 over Atlanta: This is a really good spot for them to get back on track. I feel the change on defense will energize this group a bit. Philly hasn’t been too bad defensively but they have blown some 4th quarter leads and that is the main reason for the change. Atlanta can’t run the ball (28th) and that should allow this very talented Eagle secondary to clamp down on a very good Atlanta passing game. Really the Falcons havn’t faced a good defense this year and I expect them to have a tough time moving the ball on this Eagles defense that has had a week to get used to the schemes that Todd Bowles will employ. Another advantage there is that the Eagles knowq what they will run, but Atlanta has no clue what’s coming. On offense the Eagles should be able to move the ball and I feel that after the Bye they will start to cut down on their mistakes. The Atlanta defense has been poor vs the run (143 ypg, 5.2 ypc) and that should allow Vick and McCoy do some damage, which will then open up the throwing lanes for this talent WR corps to get some big plays downfield. Andy Reid has worked some magic after a Bye and I feel he will do so again hrere. Atlanta loses first game of the year in this one. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- Play on any home favorite if both teams are off a Bye week. Teams in this spot are 15-3 ATS since 2001 and have outscored their opponents by 13 ppg.
7 POINT TEASER--- New England Pk & Eagles/ Atlanta Under 50
3 UNIT PLAY
Philadelphia/ Atlanta Under 43: This game should be mess with a hurricane just off the coast. Lots of wind and rain and that should keep the scoring down. Also keeping the scoring is the fact that there is two pretty good defenses on the field. The Atlanta defense is 22 overall but they allow just 18.8 ppg, which is 6th in the league. The Falcons struggle vs the run (28th) and with high winds and a turnover prone QB you can bet that Reid will look run the ball at that soft run defense of the Falcons and that will eat plenty of clock. The Falcons on offense need to throw the ball, because they can't run the ball (29th in the league), but in the conditions that are expected Matt Ryan will have a problem connecting for some big plays. Atlanta will have to try and run the ball and that will also chew up some clock. This game will struggle to hit the mid 30's.
PITTSBURGH -4 over Washington: The Steelers played very good defense vs the the Cincinnati and I feel they can do it again in this one. There could be potential for bad weather in this game with high winds and that could very well slow down the Washington pass game. The Skins are the top rushing team in the league, but they are about to face the 9th ranked rushing defense of the Steelers so that run game should struggle as well. The Steelers also rank 2nd vs the pass so this Washington offense could be in for a long day. On the other side the Pittsburgh offense has been decent this year but the do struggle to run the ball (26th). They will get back Mendenhall for this one and that will help. Once the running game gets going then Big Ben should have some easy throws vs the worst ranked pass defense in the league. The Pittsburgh defense will will not allow Washington to put enough points on the board to keep this one close.
Detroit/ Seattle Under 42.5: This Detroit offense can be explosive, but this year something seems off. In the last 5 weeks the Lions have scored less than 20 points 3 times, while overall they are averaging just 22.2 ppg, which is a full TD less than they averaged last year. Now they take on a Seattle defense that is 5th in the league (287.3 ypg) overall and 3rd in scoring (15.1 ppg). This defense has played very tough this year and I feel this inconsistent Lions offense will have problems moving the ball on them. As good as the Seattle defense has been, the offense has been bad. Seattle is 31st in total offense, passing and scoring and those ranking may not get that much better as the Lions are ranked 8th in total defense. The Lions do struggle a little vs the run and that is a strength of the Seattle offense as they are 8th in the league in running the ball. This should be a low scoring tight ball as both defenses are playing better than the offenses right now.
