Triple Threat Sports

Steelers vs Bills
Play: 2* Under

The Bills have gone Over the total in three preseason games so far, and that has inflated this line. However, most of the damage the Bills have done on offense has come with reserves, as the first team offense has managed just one FG on nine drives! Here the Bills' starters are playing into the 3Q and facing an excellent Steeler defnese that is also playing into the 3Q, so we are not looking for any Buffalo fireworks here. The Steelers are very likely giving all kicking duties to a rookie tonite in an effort to keep Jeff Reed healthy, and finally note that the Steelers are 2-11 to the Under in the preseason for Mike Tomlin.

Chris Jordans pick for today


200? N.Y. GIANTS (buy the hook down to -3 if your book has the line at 3-1/2) - I’m not sold on the reclamation project with the Fly Boys. I am sold on the giant step the 2008 Super Bowl champs will take this season, and feel their much better than what is being discussed.

This is a well-rounded, deep lineup the Giants boast, and the fact is head coach Tom Coughlin has always stressed defense when it comes to winning in the regular season. Thus, the loss of Plaxico Burress, as worrisome as it may seem, is nothing to be alarmed about when there is plenty of talent on this team. Not to mention when there is plenty of defense to give the offense ample opportunity to put points on the board.

And this is one week Coughlin takes as serious as the regular season, even more so than the ‘Week 3 theory’ that everyone plays more time. The Giants leave everything on the field; and against the Jets, I have faith Big Blue is going to be bringing that suffocating defensive front to thwart rookie Mark Sanchez.

I know the Giants are dealing with injuries and will be without the likes of Canty, Alford, Pierce and Ross, but the way the Ravens were able to rattle the USC grad with their strong pass rush, I expect the Giants’ defensive line to do the same thing to force errant passes.

And when the Giants do get the ball, it’ll be a chess match, as the Giants will look to run the ball and creep systematically up field, wearing down the Jets’ defense, while eating time and picking the right spots for the Eli Manning to strike.

This matchup has typically stayed under – four straight years now – so if you’d like to play that as a comp play, go ahead. My play is on the Giants because for as good a defensive coach as Rex Ryan may be, I don’t think he knows what he’s in store for against this offense.

I’m all over the Giants tonight, and don’t forget if your book has a 3-1/2, buy it down to -3. Most books, however, are sitting at -3. This is why it’s important to shop your number all the time.

Re: 8-29-09

We Cover Spreads

Preseason Game of Year

3* Giants-1.5 First Half

3* play in regular season is just a normal play but in preseason we release all plays as 1*, so this fits the bill as our top play in preseason.

The Giants are coming off of a horrible performance against the Bears last week. Not to make excuses but that was off of just 5 days rest after playing Carolina on Monday Night. Both teams starters are expected to play the whole first half. The Giants caught their performance in their ear big time after a horrible showing in Chicago from Coach Coughlin. The players all seem to be responding to their coach and his criticism this week very well. Eli Manning said that this being the final week the starters will get to play extended time they are focused to come out to play their best. He even said the offense is doing a little game planning, watching film on the Jets preseason games and preparing for their schemes. Even center Shaun O'hara said "I know we'll be ready for this game."

The Giants plan is to air it out, depending on the weather. Their will be a chance of showers tonight but it's not supposed to be as bad as earlier expected with rain ealier in the day and may not rain at all by kickoff. The Giants plan on gauging their Wide Receivers; letting rookies Ramses Barden and Hakeem Nicks work with Manning and the first team along with Steve Smith, Domenick Hixon, Mario Manningham, and Sinorice Moss. Barden a 6 foot 6 rookie from Cal-Poly and first round pick UNC grad Hakeem Nicks have practiced with Eli and the first team all week and Coach Coughlin felt the progress was positive and the chemistry looked good between the three.Former Giants QB Phil Simms who spoke with several Giants players and coaches this week said to New York reporters "The Giants are going to be ready to run through a wall on Saturday night."

Rex Ryan and the Jets are coming off of a short week of preparation after a Monday Night game in Baltimore. Ryan has had a laid back approach to this game and admitted last week was a big game for him but said their hasn't been much chatter about this game with Giants in locker room he said. Rookie Mark Sanchez will be in the spotlight against a Giants defense who looks like they will get starting Corner Back Corey Webster back but still will be without leader Antonio Pierce. Sanchez looked shaky in his first start where he went 3-for-8 for 43 yards with an interception that was returned for a touchdown. There were also two delay-of-game penalties, a missed communication issue with Jerricho Cotchery and a dropped interception by Ray Lewis which would've been returned for a TD. The Jets first team was trailing 21-7 to Baltimore at half time last week and were leading 10-9 vs. a not so talented Rams team which played pretty vanilla on both sides of the ball in their first week.

We are playing this as a first half play only because the Giants reserves have looked questionable all preseason and we don't trust them throughout the final stretch of the game and the Jets pulling off a backdoor cover like last week isn't far-fetched. We expect a motivated Giants first team to come out and handle business in the first half of this game against a Jets team who is coming off of a short week and didn't prep for this game.

*Note*: We have seen this line mostly at -1.5 and -2.5 at most books, there were only a couple of -3 out there so we advise you to shop for the best price you can find under -3.

MR EAST

Tennessee Titans @ Tennesse Titans
3 units Tennessee Titans +2.5

The Tennessee Titans have 2 solid QB's that should get most of the minutes in this one, as well as a top rated defense that will get a lot of time on the field here as well. The Cleveland Browns face a lot of negative preseason indicators for this game, as Tennessee is coming in here with 3 of my top rated ATS systems pointing to them, with each shoing a better than 60% chance that Tennessee covers this game. Jeff Fisher, unlike many coaches, has shown a propensity to not only play these games, but to win them, and I'm going with Tennessee in this one.

San Francisco 49ers @ Dallas Cowboys
5 units San Francisco 49ers +7

The Dallas Cowboys will host the San Francisco 49ers in week 3 of the preseason. There is one thing clear about the 49ers under coach Mike Singletary, they play hard, regardless of the game situation. He is very intense, and even in the preseason he takes on a winning attitude. That becomes a dangerous situation for teams laying a TD in an exhibition game, and history shows, when teams come into a game 2-0 as a big dog they very often deliver the cash. teams that have won 2 consecutive games entering here as a dog of 3.5-10 have gone 23-4 ATS since 1993, and have played their opponents basically even, being outscored by just a half-point a game in the 27 games. Teams getting 6 or more points in the NFLX are covring over 60% of the time since 1996. teams that have 2 or more wins in the NFLX, vs teams with exactly 1 win have covered the spread 70% of the time the last 12 years as well. Away dogs have covered 65% of over 115 games coming into the game with 2 wins. I like San Francisco in this one, and it is my NFLX GAME OF THE YEAR
