Andy Iskoe NFL Side Sun, 09/08/13 - 1:00 PM
double-dime bet - 470 DET -4.0 (-110) vs 469 MIN

Many things had to break just right for Minnesota to make the Playoffs last season and they basically all did. Detroit was unable to follow up a 10-6 2011 season that marked the Lions' first appearance in the Playoffs since 2000, falling to 4-12 and losing 8 straight to finish the season. As RB Peterson goes, so go the Vikes and you can be sure defensive coordinators spent the offseason breaking down the strengths and few weaknesses of Peterson. Detroit's acquisition of RB Bush may be the single most important impactful addition in the league as it gives the Lions tremendous offensive balance. Although the Lions won't be able to totally contain Peterson they will challenge Vikings QB Ponder to beat them. That should be tougher than it was last season. The Lions have solid defensive front that should harass Ponder and perhaps lead to turnovers. If Detroit can avoid the "stupid" penalties that plagued them in past seasons the talent is there for the Lions to make the Playoffs.

Game: Toronto at Minnesota (2:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Minnesota -103 (moneyline) at BetPhoenix

In an even game, according to the oddsmakers, Toronto has an uneven starter going in Esmil Rogers (4-7, 4.76 ERA); with the team 2-7 his last nine starts. This is a tough situational spot for the Blue Jays, the end of a six-game road trip which saw them out in Arizona before this. Rogers is 3-4 on the road with a 4.55 ERA as opponents hit .290 off him. Minnesota goes with starter Andrew Albers, who has had his struggles on the road, but he loves this park. Albers has a 2.74 ERA at home in 23 innings this season, where opponents hit .193 off him. Play the Twins.

OC Dooley:“1 UNIT” LATE AFTERNOON NFL TOTAL (Packers at 49ers UNDER 49 in a 4:25 eastern kickoff telecast on FOX): The last time these pair of high-profile squads faced each other was in a memorable playoff shootout where San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick set an all-time NFL record with 181 yards rushing enroute to an extremely high scoring 45-31 triumph. It was exactly a year ago in week-one when these two squads also hooked up in a high scoring 30-22 affair even though at the time Alex Smith was the 49ers starting quarterback. Of course following an infamous mid-season concussion Smith lost his starting role and is now no longer with a team that made it all the way to the Super Bowl. It was at this time a year ago when San Francisco was a “defense first” team that essentially had only a caretaker at the quarterback position. That all changed with Kaepernick being thrust into the spotlight but the bottom line is that if the Niners want to be a legitimate contender to go “all the way” they must shore up a defense that in the final three appearances down the stretch allowed a whopping average of near 30 points per pop. Both offenses even with star quarterbacks begin a new campaign dealing with injuries and attrition including Green Bay that saws top receiver Greg Jennings leave for free agency. Projected top running back DuJuan Harris (knee) has already been lost for the season as well as starting offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga. As for San Francisco elite receiving options Michael Crabtree and Mario Manningham begin a new campaign on the injured list. Even though San Francisco was 7-2 “above” the total at home last year while Green Bay is 12-4 “above” the spot in the past sixteen clashes versus NFC West competition, this total has actually dropped from an opening offshore figure of fifty-and-a-half points which to me speaks volumes

4 Unit Play. #100/#456 Take Pittsburgh Steelers -7 over Tennessee Titans (Sunday 1 pm CBS) This is a matchup of two teams that appear to be rebuilding, and many believe that neither one of these teams will make the playoffs. What this play comes down to for me is that Pittsburgh is at home and has a quarterback that is far superior to what Tennessee is offering. The Titans have the better running back in Chris Johnson, but I just do not see him having much success against the Steelers defense. Tennessee is 6-13 ATS (1 push) in their last 20 games overall. Pittsburgh is usually starts strong, and today will be no different as Pittsburgh pulls away late to win this game by double-digits.

4 Unit Play. #92/#472 Take Indianapolis Colts -9.5 over Oakland Raiders (Sunday 1 pm CBS) The Colts were America's darling last year, but many, including myself, believe that they will not be able to match their win total from last season. That being said, they are a much better team than the Oakland Raiders, a team that cannot get out of its own way at the moment. Oakland has decided to start Terrelle Pryor at quarterback, and I just do not invasion him having any success whatsoever. The Raiders have a terrible offensive line and are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games on field turf. Indianapolis has covered 6 straight home games.

4 Unit Play. #102/#476 Take San Francisco 49ers -4.5 over Green Bay Packers (Sunday 4:25 pm FOX) This is a rematch from last year in the divisional playoffs, and the Packers have spent all offseason trying to figure out how to slow down QB Colin Kaepernick. They might figure that they have the answer, but I do not believe that is the case. San Francisco beat the Packers twice last season, and both victories came over today's posted number (one by 8 and one by 14). Aaron Rogers may be the best quarterback in the league, but he cannot do it alone, and his offensive line is terrible (and injured), not to mention his receiving corps is very suspect with the departure of Greg Jennings. The 49ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 opening week games. San Francisco has also covered 15 of their last 22 home games (1 push).

5 Unit Play. #109/#481 Take Houston Texas -4 over San Diego Chargers (Monday 10:20 pm ESPN) Top NFL Play of the Week. The Chargers have been in freefall the last couple of years and finally made a coaching change and general manager change. Much of the freefall has been on the shoulders of Phillip Rivers as he is no longer an elite quarterback and turns the football over numerous times in a game. That does not bode well when facing JJ Watt, the best defensive player in the NFL. Houston is loaded on both sides of the football and has won three straight opening week games. The fact remains that Antonio Gates is not what he once was, and that puts enormous pressure on QB Rivers to make plays with his arm. San Diego lacks a run game to slow down the front four of the Texans, and I just expect them to tee off on the quarterback for 60 minutes. Houston is 20-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 27 games played on grass. San Diego is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Houston wins this game by double-digits!
