75 DIME - NEW YORK JETS - (if line is 2 1/2 you buy the 1/2 and get 3. If 3 you buy the 1/2 and get 3 1/2. Line value with the underdog - get the best line possible.)

25 DIME - NEW YORK JETS MONEY LINE PLAY - This is a dangerous animal right here.

When you have the # 1 defense in the NFL and the # 1 rush attack in the NFL, I don't care who you are playing, you are going to be a tough out. Now I know Cincinnati will put 8 in the box and do everything they can to stop the run, and force Sanchez to throw and beat them but that isn't where the Jets are going to win the game. They win the game because of the true weakness of this Bengals team and has been their weakness all year is their offense. The warning signs have been there all year long but down the stretch when your offense is supposed to be peaking heading into the playoffs, this Bengals team has gotten worse. There was the 90 yards passing at Minnesota 4 weeks ago, and at home 2 weeks ago they were held to 10 points for 58 minutes by the Chiefs, who just so happen to have the 3rd worst defense in the NFL. Over their last 9 games the Bengals have reached 20 points or more twice and they have covered only 1 of their last 7 games right along with it. Of all the teams in the playoffs Cincinnati could have faced they draw the one team they match up the worst against. Am I concerned about young Mr. Mark "Interception" Sanchez on the road in his first playoff game? Absolutely, but I also trust the offensive coordinator Schottenheimer to put him in situations to not lose the game instead have to win it. Playoff football is about running the football and playing defense. Two the things the Jets do better than any team in the NFL. This is one of the best offensive lines in football and they dominated the trenches a week ago and I don't see anything to lead me to believe they won't dominate it again. I don't see any changes the Bengals can make offensively which leads me to believe they can execute any better at home against the #1 ranked defense in the NFL. Cincinnati has scored the least amount of points than any team in the playoffs, and quite frankly, I don't trust the 24th ranked offense against the # 1 defense in the NFL and I don't care where they play.I will gladly grab the Jets plus the points and I will money line the Jets as well as they handle the Bengals again and move on to round two.

Scott Spreitzer's Overall **NFL GAME OF THE YEAR!** (34-7, 83%) - Saturday
Quantity: 1
Price Billable: $ 25 USD
Pick(s):
(101) NEW YORK JETS vs (102) CINCINNATI BENGALS
Take (102) CINCINNATI BENGALS
I'm laying the points with the Bengals on Saturday afternoon, my NFL Game of the Year. Most figured Cincinnati would "mail it in" last week and they did. And thanks to the fact that they did struggle a bit down the stretch, I feel we're now getting great value with the much better team, which also happens to be at home. Cincinnati played with very little intensity and desire on both sides of the football last week. Subsequently, Jets' QB Mark Sanchez felt no pressure. This week's tilt will be much different. First of all, Sanchez has committed 29 turnovers this season, including fumbles and interceptions. He will be facing arguably, the best CB tandem in the league when Leon Hall and Johnathan Joseph take the field. The pair were the first Cinci corners to each tally at least six interceptions in 24-years. They must be licking their chops to get this one started. The defensive line, and the stop-unit in general improved greatly over last season. They own the linebackers to take Sanchez' security blanket, TE Dustin Keller out of this game. And of course, the corners should have little trouble with Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards. The defensive line has done a great job at stuffing the run this season, and the unit received good news with the injury update on Domata Peko, who expects to start and play at 100%. With the other matchup advantages on this side of the ball, I am just as high on Cinci whether Peko plays or not. I truly expect the Jets' offense, behind the direction of the ridiculously turnover-prone rookie QB to have a tough time topping 10-points this week. Let's not forget that before the Colts and Bengals "laid down" for the Jets, the offense scored a grand total of just 83-points in their previous five games, for an average of 16.6 ppg. 26 of those points came against the hapless Buccaneer defense. You want a true read of this offense? Just take a look at the last time they played against a team that cared. That was three games ago, a 10-7 loss to Atlanta. The Jets couldn't muster a running game (3 yards per carry) and scored just seven points on a 65-yard TD, thanks to blown covereage by the Falcon defense. Sanchez finished that game with 1 TD, 3 INTs, and a passer rating of 49.7. Cincinnati's offense fooled many this season. Most were expecting a return to a high-flying, pass-happy attack. But they showed great balance, thanks in part to a strong run-blocking offensive line. The unit started 15 games together this season, and allowed 22 fewer sacks this season than they did in 2008, besides opening up consistent holes for the running game. Yes, I know the Jets' run defense owns superb numbers. But I don't believe they'll sustain the energy needed to overcome what I expect to be a mistake-filled contest by their offense. And which QB do you think is better prepared to handle blitz-schemes? Mark "INT waiting to happen" Sanchez? Or, the experienced Carson Palmer? I know who I want in a game with a line so short. Cincinnati is on a 7-1 ATS run against teams with a winning record. And NFL teams, in a line range that includes this number, and with a win percentage of .600 to .750 are 27-6, ATS, in revenge of a loss of 14 or more points. That's a combined, 34-7 situation. The matchups all side with Cinci. The QB situation is a huge advantage for the Bengals, and the "techs" are the icing on the cake. I'm laying the points with the Bengals, my NFL Game of the Year. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Langs Basketball Pick on Saturday...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25 DIME - HOFSTRA PRIDE -One thing you must understand about Hofstra is the fact they struggle against teams with a big presence.

Old Dominion doesn't pose that problem and this is a great spot for Hofstra to get the cover against a team they really match up against.

They are off a solid win and cover over Towson State winning by 17 as a 11 point favorite and now take to the road where they are 3-1-1 ATS this year.

Last meeting between these two was a one point game last March, and I firmly believe the rematch will be much of the same, a close hard fought battle that will be a single digit game throughout.

ODU is having a great year at 11-4 but they have covered just 1 of their last 4 ballgames and asking them to cover this double digit number is a bit to much today

4 Star Selection
Ohio State (+5) over MINNESOTA
09-Jan-10 12:30 PM Pacific Time
Ohio State's top player Evan Turner returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday night in a 79-54 blowout win over Indiana after missing nearly 7 games with a back injury. Turner's return is more than enough for the Buckeyes to get past an overrated Minnesota team that has destroyed mediocre and bad teams but has struggled against good teams this season. The Golden Gophers have played 6 games against decent or good teams this season and their only impressive showing among those 6 games was a 9 point win over Butler back in November. Since then the Gophers have lost to Portland, Texas A&M, Miami-Florida, and were killed by Purdue on Tuesday night while barely beating Penn State by 5 points as a 13 point favorite. Minnesota is just 1-5 ATS in those 6 games against decent teams and their average game rating in those 6 games is more than 8 points worse than their overall rating, which was built up by beating up on bad teams. Ohio State was 0-6 ATS without Turner and 7-2 ATS when he starts and my ratings favor Minnesota by just 2 points in this game if big man Ralph Sampson plays for the Gophers after missing the last two games (he's questionable). Not only is there line value in favor Ohio State but the Buckeyes apply to a 47-10-2 ATS road underdog situation while Minnesota applies to a negative 42-120-7 ATS based on their loss to Purdue. I'll take Ohio State in a 4-Star Best Bet at +5 points or more, for 3-Stars from +4 1/2 to +3 and for 2-Stars down to +2 points.
Play Strength: 4-Stars at +5 or more, 3-Stars to +3 and 2-Stars down to +2.

3 Star Selection
ILLINOIS STATE (pick) over Northern Iowa
09-Jan-10 01:00 PM Pacific Time
Northern Iowa has won 12 consecutive games and is on an 8 game spread win streak, but the Panthers apply to a negative 25-56-1 ATS situation that plays against road teams that have won and covered the spread in 5 or more consecutive games. Illinois State, meanwhile, has won 5 of their last 6 games (4-0-1 ATS) and the Redbirds qualify in a very strong 100-29-2 ATS home momentum situation. My ratings favor the Redbirds by 1/2 a point, so this line is pretty fair and I'm even willing to give up a bit of line value to play the great situation. I'll take Illinois State in a 3-Star Best Bet at -1 or better and for 2-Stars at -1 1/2 or -2 points.
Play Strength: 3-Stars at -1 or better, 2-Stars up to -2.

Re: 1-9-10

At 4:30 pm, our selection is on the Cincinnati Bengals minus the points over the New York Jets. The Jets won their last two games of the regular season to get into the playoffs. But both of their opponents -- the Colts in Game 15, and the Bengals last week -- "mailed it in," so to speak. Thus, it's awfully hard to give New York much credit for its victories, since if either, or both of its opponents had put forth a 100% effort, the Jets likely would be sitting at home this weekend. Besides having two teams "lie down" for them, the Jets also had the benefit this season of playing a less-than-impressive schedule. Of New York's 14 other games, only three were against playoff teams (New England (twice) and New Orleans). New York was 1-2 SU/ATS in those games, including an 0-2 SU/ATS record on the road. In contrast, Cincinnati played games against Green Bay, Baltimore (twice), Minnesota, and San Diego. And, in those five games, the Bengals were an impressive 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS, even though four of them were on the road, and also despite the fact Cincy was an underdog in all five games. Last week, the Jets shut out the Bengals 37-0, but NFL teams have covered just one of 12 (8 percent) in the playoffs over the past 29 seasons, if they i) won their previous game by more than 28 points; ii) and held their previous foe to three points or less; and iii) are not favored by more than seven in their current game. Look for the Bengals to ground the Flyboys. Take Cincinnati minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.


At 8 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Philadelphia Eagles plus the points over Dallas. After winning six straight games, the Eagles certainly laid an egg last Sunday when they were blanked 24-0 by the Cowboys. But perhaps no team has been better over the years than Philadelphia in rebounding off a loss, as the Eagles are a solid 59-33 ATS the past 15 seasons following a defeat (including 3-0 in the Playoffs), and 31-7 ATS off a loss since 1997 if they failed to cover by more than seven points in their previous game. Also, Dallas won 17-0 at Washington the week prior to its 24-0 whitewash of Philly. But NFL teams are terrible against the spread (54-109 ATS) when priced from -11 to +4.5 points, if they held their last two opponents to less than 10 points, and scored at least 17 in their most recent game. Take the Eagles + the points. Good luck, as always....Al McMordie. And don't miss my New York Jets/Cincy winner out of a 92% ATS System.
