UNDERDOG PLAY OF THE WEEK
NY Giants at Seattle Seahawks (-8) 4:25 ET
It is clear at this point of the season that Seattle is suffering a Super Bowl hangover. Look no further than the 30-24 lackadaisical victory against Oakland last week. Despite outrushing Oakland 149-37 and profiting from a +3 net TO margin, Seattle was only able to come away with a 6 point victory in a game they totaled just 326 yards. Now, the Seahawks stand 5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS. Since their opening day win vs. Green Bay, however, they have only won by 6 vs. Denver, 10 vs. Washington, 4 vs. Carolina and 6 vs. Oakland. They have failed to cover each of their last 2 games on what would have been the strongest home field in the NFL. Now, they must face an embarrassed and hungry New York Giants team, who enters at 3-5 SU ATS. The most recent of those 3 defeats came on their home field Monday night against Indianapolis by a score of 40-24. That final was not as great an indication of how the game was played, as yardage was virtually even at 443 to 438. Nonetheless, the fact remains the Giants enter at 0-3 SU ATS, being outscored 98-45 vs. Indy, Dallas and Philly with every loss by 10 or more points. In their once profitable road dog role, the G Men are 0-3 ATS. Further motivation comes in the form of 23-0 revenge for their home field loss to Seattle on Week 14 of last season. With the public firmly opposed to the NY Giants in this selection, I will comfortably step in to make it a very contrary call on NY as the UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK.

Tampa Bay Bucs +3

The last time Atlanta swept the Bucs was 2010. Atlanta already won the 1st meeting this year. Their last 3 visits to Tbay they are 1-2 & the game they won was by 1pt. Plus neither team is good, but i do like what i have seen from the Bucs since their bye week. They went into OT against the Vikes & they lost by 5 up in Cleveland. So they are showing some fight right now. I think they may just be hungry enough this week to get their 1st home win of the season.

New York Jets +3.5

I may be wrong with this thinking, so do not laugh. Jets BLOW. Everyone watched the Steelers the last 3 weeks. (3-0 beating the Texans, Colts & Ravens). Why the hell isn't this line 7 or 7.5? My answer is, Jets win.

Miami Dolphins +3

Three Match-ups. 1. Calvin is back. Brent grimes will keep him in check. 2. Fairley is still missing. Who stops the run, Suh? Pouncey says, Not on my watch. 3. OT for the Lions Waddle vs. Cameron Wake. I'll take Wake.

Buffalo Bills (ML)

This is what i told my buddy Matty Dillon last night when he asked about the KC/Bills game. "I think this Bills team is OK. But more importantly they think they are good. They are 5-3 right now and are coming off their bye week. Looking at their remaining games, they have to believe they can make the Playoffs with a win today. KC is 3-0 since their bye. Are they due for a loss? I don't know. But today i'll go against the 70+% and take the Bills at home."

1:00p Miami Dolphins vs Detroit Lions
Take: Detroit Lions -2½-115 in 2h

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL 8* (Regular Play) on Detroit vs. Miami @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Detroit Lions host the Miami Dolphins Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Detroit with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Lions return not only WR Calvin Johnson Sunday but also dynamic RB Reggie Bush. Those additions to the offense should kick start this Lions scoring attack that has been stuck in mud most of the season. 2. Miami rolls into Sunday on a three-game winning streak but that record seems a bit inflated. The Fins beat a Bears team fighting itself, took down the hapless Jaguars and had a favorable setting against a Chargers team that had to cross the country for an early 1 p.m. ET kickoff – 10 a.m. their time – last Sunday. Detroit will expose that paper winning streak Sunday. 3. Detroit’s defense is the top stop unit in the league right now and will clamp down on a Dolphins offense that has had issues protecting its passer at times. The Lions are holding foes to just 15.8 points on 290.4 yards per game.
Play on Detroit as an 8* Regular Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL 10* (Top Play) on NY Jets vs. Pittsburgh @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The New York Jets host the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on NY Jets with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. New York’s defense has gone unnoticed by many but is still coming to play each and every Sunday. The Jets are giving up only 319.4 yards per game – sixth in the NFL. The pass rush has totaled 25 sacks on the season and face a Steelers offensive line that is known for giving up big QB hits. Pittsburgh has allowed Ben Roethlisberger to get sacked 23 times this year. 2. New York has a rushing attack that can grind out yards and keep Roethlisberger on the sidelines. The Jets are among the best teams in the league in time of possession and freezing out the hot hand of Big Ben is their best game plan Sunday. 3. This is a desperate Jets squad looking to snap an eight-game losing skid. Head coach Rex Ryan is on a very hot seat and the players are sick of dealing with all the bad press surrounding this skid and the future of its coach. Expect an agitated Jets squad to come out strong and put Pittsburgh on its heels.
Play on NY Jets as a 10* Top Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Take: Total 50 ov-110 in 5h

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL 8* (Regular Play) on OVER in Oakland vs. Denver @ 4:05 p.m. ET
The Oakland Raiders host the Denver Broncos Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on OVER in Oakland with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Broncos continue to pile up the points, averaging 30.6 points a night on 407.6 yards per game. That’s led to a 6-2 O/U record on the year, including five straight Over winners. 2. Oakland showed it can score against the top defenses in the league with a 24-point effort in the loss to Seattle. The Raiders got some impressive drives out of rookie QB Derek Carr, who pass for two touchdowns against the Seahawks. Oakland won’t have to score much to tip this final score Over the number. 3. The Raiders defense is allowing 26.4 points per game this season. They limp into Week 10 with some serious injury concerns in the secondary, just in time to get picked apart by Peyton Manning and his talented receiving corps. In the four games versus the Raiders since Manning joined the Broncos, he’s passed for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns, completing 81 percent of his passes in those games.
Play on OVER in Oakland as an 8* Regular Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

The Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on UNDER in Green Bay with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. Chicago has turned to the turf in recent meeting with the Packers and will likely do the same Sunday night. The Bears defense has been terrible so it will be on the offense to chew up the clock and own time of possession, taking Aaron Rodgers and the Packers attack out of the equation. 2. Green Bay has some injury woes on the offensive line and that could open the door for the Bears defense. Chicago has to push Rodgers out of the pocket to limit his impact. Rodgers isn’t as mobile as usual, nursing a nagging hamstring injury heading into Week 10. 3. The Packers defense is getting some key starters back off the bye week. Corner Sam Shields, safety Morgan Burnett and defensive end Datone Jones are slated to return. The week off has given Green Bay some added time to sure up a stop unit that has allowed big gains. However, Green Bay knows that if it is to make a run at the Super Bowl it will need to tighten up on defense. Sunday night is a good starting point.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Monday 10* (Top Play) on Philadelphia vs. Carolina @ 8:30 p.m. ET
The Philadelphia Eagles host the Carolina Panthers Monday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Philadelphia with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Panthers offense is a mess, producing an average of just 12 points per game over the past three weeks. Carolina’s run game is gaining ground and the passing game managed only 151 yards in the loss to New Orleans last week. That’s not enough to keep pace with the Eagles high-octane offense. 2. Mark Sanchez gets the start for the injured Nick Foles in Week 10. Oddsmakers may be discounting Philadelphia for its backup passer, however, Sanchez has plenty of experience and Chip Kelly’s offense is a system that doesn’t need an elite passer. The Eagles won’t skip a beat with a new arm under center. 3. Philadelphia has taken care of business inside Lincoln Financial Field, covering the spread in five of its last seven home stands. The Eagles have also come through on the Monday night stage, covering in nine of their last 13 Monday nighters.
Play on Philadelphia as a 10* Regular Selection Monday.
Good luck, Scott.
