PLAY: (109) JACKSONVILLE +3.5
RATING: 3% PLAY
Miami is 7-7 but they are the most counterfeit 7-7 team that I have seen in a long time. Their defense sucks as they are the 31st ranked defense allowing 6.4 YPP facing the #4 defense allowing 5.4 YPP. With last weeks loss to Minnesota and yesterday’s win by Baltimore Miami’s season is over. Don’t want to sound like a broken record but give me the better defensive team getting points and I’m there everyday. Jacksonville wins 17-14.

PLAY: (127) STEELERS/SAINTS OVER 53
RATING: 5% PLAY
Pittsburgh just exorcised their biggest demon the New England Patriots as Brady and Belichick had owned the Steelers for 5 straight years. For Pittsburgh they can’t afford to celebrate as Baltimore is nipping at their heels and Pittsburgh. Both teams are coming off low scoring games Pittsburgh 17-10 and New Orleans 12-9 and because of that we have seen the total in this game drop dramatically from 56 to 53. If you look deeper the games went under last week because of the game plans. Pittsburgh was committed to the run to keep Brady off the field and it worked as the Steelers ran it 25 times for 158 and the Saints who were playing their 3rd straight game on the road wanted to shorten the game and take the Monday night crowd out of the game and rushed it 32 times. The Saints don’t score the same on the road as they do at home and they will need to score because Pittsburgh is the best offense they have faced since the Rams game. I am expecting a track meet on Sunday. The Pittsburgh defense has held last 3 opponents to Under 100 yards rushing so the Saints need to stretch that Steeler defense by throwing it deep which again favors points being scored.
TAKE STEELERS/SAINTS OVER 53 as MARCO’S 5% NFL MAJOR WAGER
Believe it or not, the Browns have been dominating the ground game on both sides of the ball.
In their past 2 home games, they gave up only 71 and 96 yards on the ground, and last week
on the road to Denver only 32 yards. Meanwhile, on offense they've rushed for 211, 116, and 134
in those same games. They've gone 4-1 SU & ATS in their past 5 games,
and they're playing with a lot of enthusiasm. Even though they've been eliminated from the playoffs,
they're an up and coming team that will still play with a lot of heart. Cleveland by 17 ... 27-10
