04-25-18 | Pacers v. Cavs UNDER 205 | Top | 95-98 | Win | 100 | 17 h 52 m | Show |
Cleveland returns home with a 2-2 tie in this best of seven series. So far all four games have gone under the total. That's what I'm looking at again here on Wednesday is the UNDER. We've seen the oddsmaker drop the total from 212.5 in game one to 206 in game four and tonight 205. The closest these teams came was in game four where they got 204 points and just went under the 206. This Cavs team has been so difficult to put your thumb on, one day they play great then they lose by 20. They did this all season, which makes it hard to pick a side here. That's why I'm sticking with the UNDER. We haven't seen the Pacers exploit the Cavs bad defense yet in this series and I don't think we'll see it here in game five. Forget the side in this game, take the UNDER. |

04-08-18 | Mavs v. 76ers OVER 215 | Top | 97-109 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 46 m | Show |
The Philadelphia 76ers host the Dallas Mavericks today on NBA TV. The 76ers still have something to play for as they lead the fourth place Cleveland Cavaliers by just a half-game. As for the Dallas Mavericks, well they're out of it for this year. In this game though, I'm looking at the over. Philadelphia has won 13 straight games. But what's probably more impressive is that they have scored at least 115 points in 11 of those 13 games. the 76ers jumped out to a 30-point lead against Cleveland last Friday night, but despite the large lead, they still had to hold on for a two-point win over the Cavaliers. In that contest, the 76ers still scored 132 points. The Dallas Mavericks will try and snap the 76ers 13 game winning streak. Unfortunately for the Mavericks they have won just two games and lost 10 in their last 12 overall. In addition the Mavericks have allowed 113 points their last game at Detroit. I don't really see how the Mavericks will hold down the 76ers scoring machine here today. I'm going to stick with the over in the 76ers and Mavericks contest. |

03-30-18 | Illinois-Chicago v. Northern Colorado OVER 157.5 | Top | 71-76 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
I'll be looking at the over in today's CIT tournament between Illinois Chicago and Northern Colorado. Illinois Chicago has gone over in eight of their last 10 games. Northern Colorado has gone over in two straight and three of the last four. In addition, Northern Colorado has scored at least 80 points in each of their last six games and 77 or more in 11 straight. Illinois Chicago can also score, with 80 or more points in five of their last eight games. This game has all the markings of a track game tonight and I full expect this game to fly over the total. |

03-23-18 | Syracuse v. Duke UNDER 132.5 | Top | 65-69 | Loss | -104 | 101 h 15 m | Show |
Tourney Total of the Year : NCAA Midwest Regional from Omaha, NE pits ACC foes Syracuse and Duke against each other. These teams know each other well though they didn't meet in the ACC tournament. Their one meeting this year, in Duke, resulted in a Blue Devil's win, 44-60. They totaled just 104 points in that game. Syracuse has played five tournament games between the ACC and NCAA and four have gone Under. In fact, in those four they totaled 108, 109, 116 and 137. Duke has also been a good UNDER team this year, going under in eight of their last 10 games. In addition, the Blue Devils have gone UNDER in seven of the last eight vs the ACC and nine of their last 13 in NCAA tournament games. Syracuse has gone under in seven of their last nine NCAA tournament games and 0-6 O/U the last six vs a team with a winning percentage above 60 percentage. I like this game to go UNDER on Friday. Take the UNDER! |

03-07-18 | Massachusetts v. La Salle OVER 144.5 | Top | 69-67 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 41 m | Show |
Atlantic 10 opening action tonight has U Mass takingon La Salle. U Mass has been on a phenomenal over run, posting overs in 11 straight games. The reason is a good offense and bad defense. U Mass has allowed at least 80 points in nine of those 11 overs. La Salle should be looking forward to this opponent, their last meeting resulted in a La Salle win, 87-72 and of course, a OVER. Their first meeting of the season, at U Mass, resulted in another La Salle win, 86-79 and a OVER. Don't see any reason La Salle can't put up those big numbers again here tonight. I'm taking the over and sitting back and enjoying the show. Play OVER. |
|||||||
02-01-18 | San Francisco v. St. Mary's UNDER 138 | Top | 43-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
I'm looking at the UNDER here tonight as a big play. San Francisco has been a better under team on the road this year, evidenced by their 4-5 O/U mark. They are also 17-35 O/U the last 52 games following an ATS win. St Mary's has also been a good under team. The Gaels are 0-6 O/U in their last six home games, 0-4 O/U in their last four overall, 29-62-1 O/U their last 92 after a straight up win. The last seven meetings between these clubs have seen five unders and just two overs. I like the UNDER tonight. |

01-14-18 | Jaguars v. Steelers UNDER 41.5 | Top | 45-42 | Loss | -108 | 38 h 58 m | Show |
You could tell the Jags plan of attack last week was to play defense and not get QB Blake Bortles into any problems. Bortles made most of his passes behind the line of scrimmage or on short pass plays. These teams met back in week five with the Jags defense dominating Pittsburgh with five INT's and two pick-six touchdowns in a 30-9 win. I don't expect this Steelers team to play like that today, but I also don't expect this Jaguars team to get many points against a very good Steelers defense. I look for a low scoring game here today with Bortles again being asked to not do too much and let the defense take over. Play the UNDER. |

07-16-17 | New York Yankees - Game #2 v. Boston Red Sox - Game #2 OVER 8.5 | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
New York is on the road playing the second game of a doubleheader tonight after playing 16 innings last night. Yankees right Masahiro Tanaka (7-8, 5.47 ERA) has been erratic all year. The Yankees have gone OVER in nine of the last 12 road starts for Tanaka. New York has a losing road record and the Yankees are 4-11 in their last 15 road games. Boston is on an 11-4 run at home. Red Sox lefty David Price (4-2, 3.91 ERA) has been very consistent since coming off the disabled list in May. Boston has been a good over play in game two of any doubleheader, evidenced by their 8-2 O/U mark in the last 10 nightcaps of a double dipper. Two tired bullpens and a shaky starter on the hill for the Yankees has this game primed to go OVER in Prime Time TV. |

09-05-16 | Royals v. Twins OVER 9.5 | Top | 11-5 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show |
The Royals have only won five of their last 10 games, and that means more teams between them and the final Wild Card slot. KC now trails in the AL Wild Card by four games with five teams ahead of them in the standings. After a great run in August, the Royals have now lost four of their last five games. Ian Kennedy will start today with a 9-9 record and 3.66 ERA. Kennedy is coming off his worst start since July 20th, allowing four runs over 6.1 innings. The Twins are the worst team in the AL, and they have shown that with a 2-15 run. The Twins gave up 30 runs in their recent four game series with the White Sox. Jose Berrios starts today with a 2-4 record, sky high 9.24 ERA and 1.97 WHIP. Berrios has allowed 18 runs over his last 16 innings. In addition, the 22-year old has walked nine batters in his last nine innings. This one could get ugly in a hurry. I'm taking the over and enjoying the show. |

11/06 8:00 PM CF (105) CENTRAL MICHIGAN VS (106) BALL STATE
Take: MAC Total of the Year: Central Michigan/Ball State under the total. Central Michigan heads to Ball State with no offense, averaging 18.6 ppg and ranked 78th in the nation in passing, 102nd in rushing. QB Cooper Rush has 11 TDs and 10 picks while completing 54% of his passes. Central Michigan is on a 4-1 run under the total, as well as 4-0 under the total in the Chippewas' last 4 conference games. The weather for this game is terrible, 45 degrees, 22 MPH winds and 80% chance of rain. It will not be a good night for offense. Ball State loves to throw the football, but will have to go to the ground game more in these conditions, which chews up the clock. And the Ball State defense is very good allowing 24 points or less in 5 of the last 6 games. The under is 4-1 in the Cardinals last 5 home games and 6-0-1 under the total in their last 7 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. Play Central Michigan/Ball State Under the Total. |

10/20 1:00 PM NFL (409) DALLAS COWBOYS VS (410) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Take: NFC Total of the Month: Cowboys/Eagles Over the total. The 2013 Philadelphia Eagles were the first team in NFL history to have 1,300 yards passing (1,341) and 900 yards rushing (933) in the first five games. Chip Kelly has jumpstarted the no-huddle offense, tops in the NFL in rushing, but the defense is a major problem, 16th against the run, 31st against the pass. The over is 7-1 in the Eagles last 8 home games and 15-7-1 over the total following a straight up win. Dallas comes to town with plenty of offensive punch behind QB Tony Romo (10 TDs, 4 INT, 1,501 yds, 67%), leading the No. 9 passing attack in NFL along with Dez Bryant (459 yds) and TE Jason Witten (340). RB DeMarco Murray (428 yards, 4.7 ypc) is a force and WR Miles Austin is back after being out 2 weeks. The over is 5-2 in the Cowboys last 7 vs. the NFC East, 21-9 over the total in October. The Dallas defense, though, is almost as bad as the Eagles, 30th against the pass, 14th against the run as injuries continue to pile up. Don't look for much defense; Play the Cowboys/Eagles over the total. |

10/13 1:00 PM NFL (203) OAKLAND RAIDERS VS (204) KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Take: AFC Total of the Month: Raiders/Chiefs Under the total. A pair of running teams with conservative offenses meet, and one is a powerhouse defensive team. All of that means very little scoring. Oakland is 9th in the NFL in rushing but 27th in passing, no balance at all. Oakland is on a 10-2 run under the total and the defense is stout against the run, 11th allowing 96.6 yds per game. That's key when playing the Chiefs, a run-oriented team behind Andy Reid and his short, safe West Coast passing attack and QB Alex Smith, a game manager not a gun-slinger. Kansas City is 23-6-1 under the total on grass an d 20-7 under the total at home! The under is 12-3-1 in the Chiefs last 16 vs. the AFC West. And when these division rivals meet the under is 17-5 in the last 22 meetings, including 5-0 under the total in the last 5 meetings in Kansas City. Play the Raiders/Chiefs under the total. |

09/22 1:00 PM EST NFL (403) DETROIT LIONS VS (404) WASHINGTON REDSKINS
Take: NFL Total of the Month: Lions/Redskins Over the total. Detroit's passing offense is clicking with all this talent, which is no surprise, 7th in the NFL with 315 yards passing per game. They've scored 34 and 21 points in two games. The defense, though, continues to be a problem giving up 24 and 25 points. Detroit is 40-17-2 over the total on the road, and the over is 20-8-2 in the Lions last 30 games on grass. And if you think Detroit has defensive problems, check out Washington: 23rd in the NFL against the pass (310.5 yds pg) and dead last against the run allowing a shopping 201 yards per contest! The over is 5-2 in the Redskins last 7 games on grass and they are on a 6-0 run over the total in September. They've given up 33 and 38 points in two games (both losses). Matt Stafford and the Lions will have a field day chewing them up, so look for another offensive show. Play the Lions/Redskins Over the total. |

07-04-13 | Detroit Tigers v. Toronto Blue Jays OVER 8.5 | Top | 11-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 5 m | Show |
These teams know how to crush the baseball with great offenses and coming into this series the previous 4 meetings had gone over the total. Detroit has a powerhouse attack, 4th in baseball in runs scored, second in on base percentage and fourth in slugging. The over is 5-2 in the Tigers last 7 against the American League East. Toronto starter Esmil Rogers (3-3) has some good overall numbers, but he's also been a bit lucky. Rogers' BABIP is .274, a huge difference considering his .342 career rate. His 3.46 ERA may be solid, but Rogers has a 4.40 FIP, which is a better indicator of how he'll pitch going forward. The over is 16-7 in the Blue Jays last 23 home games and 11-5 over the total in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning record, so look for an offensive show. Play the Tigers/Blue Jays over the total.

Take: NHL Playoff Total of the Year: Penguins/Bruins Game 3 over the total. Pittsburgh won't change its style down 2-0, and that is to use their depth and offensive talent to attack the opposition all game long. They've only scored 1 goal in two games, but had several posts hit and a ton of scoring chances. The over is 4-1 in Penguins last 5 road games. The main problem for Pittsburgh is their defense, which has been exposed. They've used two soft goalies already and have given up 9 goals in two games. Their lack of focus and discipline on defense has been a huge problem, as well, clearly a team that is used to blasting away and beating teams 6-3, not worrying about defense as much. But this Boston team is strong on defense and has plenty of offense, 13th in the league in goals scored. The over is 7-2 in the Penguins last 9 games playing on one days rest and look for more offense and goals than oddsmakers expect. Play the Penguins/Bruins Game 3 over the total. |

03/16 7:05 PM EST NHL (13) CAROLINA HURRICANES VS (14) TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Take: Southeast Division Total of the Year: Carolina/Tampa Bay over the total. Division games often mean intense defense -- but not with these teams. Carolina is 5th in the NHL in goals scored, but in the middle of the pack defensively. The over is 4-1 in the Hurricanes last 5 games playing on one days rest. They take on an even better offensive team, attacking Tampa Bay ranks second in goals scored and 9th on the power play, but 25th in goals allowed as they focus solely on the offensive end. They are on a 23-11-2 run over the total and the over is 52-25-4 in the Lightning's last 81 home games. And when these team meet the over is 15-5-1 in the last seven meetings, including a perfect 7-0 over in the last 7 meetings in Tampa Bay. Play Carolina/Tampa Bay over the total. |

3/09 1:30 PM EST CB (527) LA SALLE VS (528) SAINT LOUIS
Take: College Total of the Year: La Salle/St. Louis over the total. St. Louis has been on a tear coinciding with the death of former coaching legend Rick Majerus. However, they haven't been playing the slow-down defensive style that Majerus loved. St. Louis is on a 7-2-1 run over the total, a strong and balanced offensive team. Into town comes La Salle, a dynamite offensive team, 47th in the nation in scoring with 73.6 ppg. LaSalle is on a 5-0 run over the total and the over is 6-2-1 in the Explorers last 9 road games. They've scored 72, 94 and 84 points the last three games -- all wins. When these teams meet the over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings and look for another uptempo, offensive show. Play La Salle/St. Louis over the total. |

02/22 10:35 PM EST NBA (809) HOUSTON ROCKETS VS (810) BROOKLYN NETS
Take: Non-Conference NBA Total of the Year: Rockets/Nets over the total. Houston is all about an attacking offense under coach Kevin McHale and newcomer guard James Harden. Houston is tops in the NBA in scoring and hung 122 on the Thunder the last game, a strong defensive team. Harden scored a career-high 46 points and Jeremy Lin added 29 as the Houston Rocketshad a 122-119 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Houston was down by 14 points with about seven minutes left, but went on a 21-4 run with that explosive attack. Houston is on a 6-1 run over the total and 20-8 over following an ATS win. Brooklyn's defense had a great first half, but is cooling off allowing 111 to the Bucks in OT Tuesday and then 94 on Wednesday to the same team, a pair of wins. They are on a 4-1 run over the total at home. Deron Williams and Joe Johnson lead this strong offense that will have no trouble putting up points on the defenseless Rockets. This will be a shootout from the opening tip and the over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Play the Rockets/Nets over the total. |

01/26 7:05 PM EST NBA (503) NEW YORK KNICKS VS (504) PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
Take: NBA Total of the Month: Knicks/76ers under the total. New York is a terrific defensive team, 4th in the NBA in field goal shooting defense and 10th in points allowed. They leaned on that defense the last game to win at Boston, 89-86, as a dog. That was their 4th straight game under the total. The under is also 5-2 in the Knicks last 7 road games and they face a slow down Philadelphia team that has struggled on offense all season. The 76ers are 28th in points scored and the under is 21-9 in the 76ers last 30 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. And when these teams meet the under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings, including 5-1 under the total in the last 6 meetings in Philadelphia. Play the Knicks/76ers under the total. |

01/12 8:00 PM EST NFL (111) GREEN BAY PACKERS VS (112) SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
Take: NFL Playoff Total of the Year: Packers/49ers Over the total. Two strong offenses, one suspect defense, and great weather will mean more points than oddsmakers anticipate. These teams met in the opener, a 30-22 49er win Green Bay that sailed over the total. The weather in San Francisco is 56 degrees, no rain and little wind, which is perfect for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (39 TDs, 8 picks) on a pass-first offense ranked 9th in passing with 254 yards per game, 21st in rushing (103 pg). The young Green Bay defense, though, is 12th against the pass (217.7), 14th against the run (112). RB Adrian Peterson lanced the Packers for 409 yards in 2 games during the regular season, but had just 99 yards, carries for a 4.5 average Saturday. However, the Packers had to stack the box with safeties Charles Woodson and Morgan Burnett. San Francisco has better weapons to throw to and a smart coaching staff that will be looking for single coverage downfield, especially with star TE Vernon Davis with second-year Colin Kaepernick (10 TDs, 3 INTs, 62.4%, 415 yards rushing, 6.6 ypc). They have so many weapons with RB Frank Gore (1,214 yds, 4.7 ypc), and WR Mike Crabtree (1,105 yards) and WR Randy Moss (434). When they met September 9 in the opener the 49ers won, 30-22, with edge in yards 377-324. The 49ers had 186 yards rushing, 5.8 ypc and QB Rodgers finished 30 of 44 for 303 yards, 2 TDs, 1 pick. The over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these teams and this one will, too. Play the Packers/49ers over the total! |

12/30 8:30 PM EST NFL (315) DALLAS COWBOYS VS (316) WASHINGTON REDSKINS
Take: NFL Division Dogfight Game of the Month: Cowboys/Redskins Under the total. Big games mean great defense and this is HUGE one for these rivals. It's also outdoors at Fedex Field and the weather conditions will be bad for offensive football, 36 degrees, 19 MPH winds. The Redskins need a victory to seal their first NFC East title since 1999 and their first playoff berth since 2007. After a 3-5 start, Dallas is on a 5-2 SU/3-4 ATS run, holding Cincy to 19 points in a win on the road in their last cold weather game. The Dallas offense is 3rd in the NFL passing with 302 yards per game, 31st in rushing (77.7) because of first-year offensive coordinator Bill Callahan. But it won' be a good night to throw the football with QB Tony Romo (26 TDs, 16 picks) against a fired-up Washington defense. The under is 8-2 in the Cowboys last 10 road games. The Redskins (9-6 SU/10-5 ATS) started 3-6, but on a 6-0 SU/ATS since with run-first attack: 18th in passing (222 yds pg), 1st in rushing (162 yds pg). Not sure how much running QB Robert Griffin III will do as he's still battling the knee injury. The under is 12-5 in the Redskins last 17 vs. a team with a winning record and when these teams meet the under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings in Washington. In the DC cold with so much at stake, Play the Cowboys/Redskins Under the total. |

12-02-12 | Minnesota Vikings v. Green Bay Packers OVER 46.5 | Top | 14-23 | Loss | -106 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
12/02 10:00 AM NFL (341) MINNESOTA VIKINGS (342) GREEN BAY PACKERS.
Reason: NFL Total of the Year: Vikings/Packers over the total. Green Bay is the all passing team while Minnesota comes to town with a powerful ground attack (third in the NFL) behind Adrian Peterson, so there are plenty of offensive weapons on both sides. The weather for Green Bay is decent, 45 degrees with no rain and little wind. The Vikings have gotten good play out of young QB Christian Ponder and the over is 7-2 in Vikings last 9 games following a loss, as well as 4-0 over the total in their last 4 games in December. Minnesota is motivation, trailing the Packers by one game and the first place Bears by 2. Green Bay has a young defense that is experiencing growing pains, off a 38-10 loss at the Giants, ranked 22nd against the pass on a 5-3 run over the total. QB Aaron Rodgers (28 TDs, 7 INTS) has had another great campaign and gets WR Greg Jennings back. The over is 19-7 in the Packers last 26 home games as well as a 15-7 run over the total overall. And when these teams meet the over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings, including a perfect 4-0 over the last four in Green Bay. Play the Vikings/Packers over the total. |

11-26-12 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. Memphis Grizzlies OVER 196.5 | Top | 78-84 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 58 m | Show |
NBA TV Total Game of the Month : The Cavaliers had a good shot of handing Miami its first home loss of the season on Saturday, but lost down the stretch, 110-108. The Cavs defense is horrible though, which is how they let Miami come back on Saturday. The D is 28th in the league in points allowed (102.2 ppg) and the club is only 20th in rebounds (40.9 rpg). The Cavs have allowed over 100 points in 10 of their 13 games this season. However, the Cavaliers can score too, evidenced by their 108 and 104 points in their last two games. Meanwhile, Memphis is one of the better home teams in the league in recent years and they are playing great so far this year with a 9-2 SU & ATS record. Their lone home loss came at the hands of Denver on Nov 19, 97-92. The Grizzlies can score too, averaging 100.7 ppg (6th in the league). They are led by forward Rudy Gay, 20.1 ppg. Almost no way that Cavs can win this game, but what I look for here are lots of points out of the Grizzlies against a terrible Cavs defense. If the Cavs can get into the 90's, this game will fly OVER. Your TV Total Game of the month is the OVER.

11/23 12:00 PM EST CF (111) NEBRASKA VS (112) IOWA
Take: 2012 College Total of the Year: Nebraska/Iowa under the total. You know Nebraska is going to bring their best defensive effort as they are tied with Michigan for the top spot in the Legends division. And this defense has been playing great down the stretch, holding the pro-style Penn State offense to 23 points in a 32-23 win, shutting down Michigan (23-9) and coming off a 38-14 win over Minnesota. They are a run-first offense (8th in the nation in rushing), which eats up yards and the clock, and face a terrible Iowa offense ranked 100th in passing and 103rd in rushing as they never clicked under their first-year offensive coordinator. The under is 5-1 in the Hawkeye's last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Iowa's offense lost 2 offensive linemen for the season with injuries and their top back, Mark Weisman, has been hobbled by injuries of late (63 yards rushing, 3.9 ypc last week against Michigan). This is the last home game for the Iowa seniors and the defense has been the strength of the team, allowing 23.8 ppg. You can be sure they will be up for this game and the under is 6-2 in the Hawkeyes last 8 vs. a team with a winning record. And the weather conditions are terrible for offenses: 35 degrees, 20-30 MPH winds. Play Nebraska/Iowa under the total. |

11/22 05:20 PM NFL (107) NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (108) NEW YORK JETS
Take: NFL TV Rivalry Total of the Year: Patriots/Jets Over the total. Good weather for this outdoor game in the Northeast, and a pair of teams that can't stand each other. New England was a big favorite last month when these teams met, but were lucky to win in OT, 29-26. That started a bad spiral for the Jets, though, losing 30-9 at home to Miami and 28-7 at Seattle, win at Rams 27-13. That first meeting went over the total, which makes the Patriots 9-1 over the total this season! They play soft coverage and even Mark Sanchez torched them for 328 yards in the first meeting. The over is 11-6-2 in the Jets last 19 games in November and this defense is 30th against the run allowing 142 pg. The Pats come to town with an incredible array of offensive weapons, 4th in passing, 5th in rushing. They've won 4 in a row scoring 29, 45, 37, 59 points. The over is 36-16 in Patriots last 52 games overall and 17-5 over the total in their last 22 road games. And when these rivals meet the over is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings. Play the Pats/Jets Over the total. |

11-18-12 | New Orleans Saints v. Oakland Raiders OVER 54.5 | Top | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 51 h 60 m | Show |
11/18 4:05 PM EST NFL (429) NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS (430) OAKLAND RAIDERS
Take: over the total. Reason: A pair of teams that are both 6-3 over the total with no defense and one has a super offense. After a tumultuous offseason with the suspension of some coaches and players, New Orleans started 0-4 SU/1-3 ATS. Since then: 4-1 SU/ATS. QB Drew Brees (25 TDs, 9 picks, 2,847 yards) has now passed for touchdowns in 52 straight games, extending an NFL record he set earlier this season. He has so many weapons to work with in WR Marques Colston (47 grabs, 652 yards), WR Lance Moore (585 yards) and TE Jimmy Graham (533) on an offense that is 2nd in passing with 304 yds per game. But this defense is awful, 31st against the run allowing 162 yds pg, and 31st against the pass (307)! The defense brought in new coordinator Steve Spagnulo. He prefers more man to man and less blitzing than predecessor Gregg Williams and the Saints have been slow to adjust and have been awful. They beat the Falcons Sunday, 31-27, despite allowing 454 yards (408 passing). Brees threw for 298 yards and three TDs as the Saints won for the fourth time in five games, keeping alive hope of getting back into the wild-card race. New Orleans rushed for 148 yards. Dynamic young tight end Jimmy Graham caught seven passes for a career-best 146 yards and two touchdowns. The over is 11-3 in Saints last 14 games overall and they face an Oakland Raiders team (3-6 SU/3-6 ATS): 6-3 over the total) that plays no defense and has lost the last two games to Bucs (42-32) at home and at Ravens (55-20). The offense is good in passing, ranked 5th with 289 yds per game, but the defense is 24th against the pass allowing 256 yds pg, and 21st against the run (119). They are on a 4-0 run over the total with little defense. Joe Flacco threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns, Jacoby Jones ran a kickoff back for 105 yards, and Baltimore set a club record for points in a 55-20 rout Sunday. The over is 11-5 in Raiders last 16 games overall and this one will, as well. Play the Saints/Raiders over the total. |

11-07-12 | San Antonio Spurs v. Los Angeles Clippers OVER 200 | Top | 84-106 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 20 m | Show |
11/07 10:35 PM NBA (525) SAN ANTONIO SPURS VS (526) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
Take: High Roller Total: Spurs/Clippers over the total. A pair of uptempo teams meet out West in LA. San Antonio (4-0) is running and gunning again, 12th in the NBA in scoring and 6th in field goal shooting. The last game they put up 101 points on a strong Indiana defensive team to start 4-0. The Spurs outscored the Pacers' bench 57-35. The over is 34-16-1 in Spurs last 51 road games. They take on the young Clippers who don't play much defense but can run and gun behind Chris Paul, 8th in the NBA in assists and 5th in scoring as a team. Of course, they allow 102.3 ppg -- 25th in the NBA. That bad D was on display the last game, giving up 108 to the Cavaliers in a loss. LA is on a 6-0 run over the total and the over is 9-3 in the Clippers last 12 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. The over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings and this one will sail over, as well. Play the Spurs/Clippers over the total. |

11-05-12 | Philadelphia Eagles v. New Orleans Saints OVER 51.5 | Top | 13-28 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 2 m | Show |
The Philadelphia Eagles stared the season winning three of their first four games. However, the club brings a three-game losing streak into tonight's game in New Orleans after losing last week to the Atlanta Falcons, 30-17. During the three game losing streak the defense has managed just one take away while the offense has turned the ball over on five occasions. All the talk is about the changes the Eagles have been making, first with a new defensive coordinator, and now on offense. The good news is that teams are scoring quite often against this Saints defense. That is why I'm looking at the OVER tonight. The Saints rank 30th in points allowed (30.9), 31st in rushing yards allowed (169.6 ypg) and 30th against the pass (305.9 ypg). Overall, that makes this Saints defense the 32nd ranked in total yards allowed (475.5 ypg). QBs Michael Vick or Nick Foles will be able to put the football in the end zone against them, with weapons like DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. And King Dunlap is expected to retain the left tackle spot after another solid performance. While the Eagles look to be able to score at will, the Saints offense is no slouch. New Orleans ranks first in passing yards per game (316) with Drew Brees at the helm. The Saints have the league's best red zone offense in 2012 with a staggering 73 percent success rate with so many weapons for Brees, with Marques Colston + TE Jimmy Graham. After winning 2 in a row they got smoked at Denver, 34-14, because of that bad defense. The over is 10-1 in Saints last 11 vs. the NFC and when they meet the Eagles, the last five are all OVERs. Don't expect to see much defense played here by either club as this game goes OVER the total.

10-25-12 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers v. Minnesota Vikings UNDER 41.5 | Top | 36-17 | Loss | -105 | 53 h 20 m | Show |
10/25 05:25 PM NFL (103) TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS VS (104) MINNESOTA VIKINGS
Take: UNDER THE TOTAL. Reason: Thursday Night NFL Game of the Year: Bucs/Vikings Under the total. Tampa Bay has lost 4 of 5 since opening with a 16-10 win over Carolina. Now they head out on the road on short rest after a crushing loss to the Saints Sunday, blowing a 21-7 lead. The Bucs (2-4 SU/2-4 ATS) just finished a 3-game home stand and have lost 4 of 5 because the offense ranks 15th in passing, 17th in rushing with 101 yds pg. QB Josh Freeman (11 TDs, 9 INTs, 55.6%) hasn't been that impressive for the new coaching staff and has no offensive balance behind a weak O-line. Meanwhile the Vikings (5-2 SU/3-3-1 ATS) have won 4 of 5 games, and are on a 4-1-1 ATS run. QB Christian Ponder (9 TDs, 6 INTs) isn't asked to do too much, with the ground game and defense carrying the load. In fact, Ponder is off a terrible game with 58 yards passing! The the ground game is 7th in rushing with 132 yds pg behind star RB Adrian Petersen (652 yards, 4.8 ypc). They are off a 21-14 win over Arizona at home as Peterson ran 23 times for a season-high 153 yards. The Vikings D sacked John Skelton seven times! The defensive game plan worked perfectly. The Vikings drew a circle around number 11, All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald, and refused to let Arizona hit the big play. Safeties Harrison Smith and Jamarca Sanford mostly stayed deep in coverage with the Vikings trusting their front-four pressure would flourish against the Cardinals' shaky offensive line. Well they face an offensive line that is just as bad this week, so look for more field goals than TDs with these young QBs and ground games. Play the Bucs/Vikings Under the total! |

08/18 09:00 PM EST NFL (425) SEATTLE SEAHAWKS VS (426) DENVER BRONCOS
Take: 2012 NFL Preseason Total of the Year: Seahawks/Broncos Over the total. More playing time for the two starters, including Peyton Manning and Matt Flynn, the latter who upgrades this Seattle passing attack. Pete Carroll has kept his quarterback competition schedule a mystery to everyone, and that includes the quarterbacks who are competing. "I don't feel like I have an inside track or anything like that," Matt Flynn said. Flynn will be the starter for a second consecutive week, but it's a good move by Carroll to create competition at the spot with rookie Russell Wilson and Tarvaris Jackson. After a strong defensive effort at home the Seahawks head out on the road, where they allowed 17 and 20 points last preseason (as opposed to 11.5 pg at home). One of those was a 23-20 loss here in Denver where they allowed a whopping 450 yards! And that was against Tim Tebow, now the Broncos have Peyton Manning, experienced Caleb Hanie and they like Brock Osweiler a lot. The Broncos safety play was awful in 2011 and Quinton Carter will miss at least the first two preseason games after the second-year safety underwent arthroscopic knee surgery this week. The weather looks good in Denver, last week Seattle's offense scored 27 points and Denver put up 31 in Chicago, so look for another offensive show. Play the Seahawks/Broncos Over the total. |

07-18-12 | Texas Rangers v. Oakland A's UNDER 8 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 104 | 15 h 18 m | Show |
A few components come together here for me to like this total UNDER tonight. First off is Oakland Coliseum, which has always been a good pitchers park. This season is no different as the park ranks 23rd in baseball for hitters. The cold, damp air of the bay area helps these pitchers which is why San Francisco's AT&T park is the best pitcher ballpark in baseball. Next is Texas, which isn't quite the offensive powerhouse away from Arlington. The Ranters have a 20-23 O/U mark on the road this season, partly because their hitting isn't as good on the road, but also because they have good pitching. It's not surprising that Oakland is 17-25 O/U at home, averaging just 3.7 runs/game and allowing 3.3 runs/game. Both clubs also have good bullpens, Texas with a 2.61 ERA on the road and Oakland with a 2.58 ERA at home. Finally, we have two quality starting pitchers. Colby Lewis has a 3.51 ERA and 1.080 WHIP for Texas. Travis Blackley has a nice 3.19 ERA for Oakland with a 1.063 WHIP. Starting pitchers, bullpens, ballpark - they all combine to show me that this is a game that will go UNDER the total on Wednesday.

06/28 07:05 PM EST MLB (913) LOS ANGELES ANGELS VS (914) TORONTO BLUE JAYS
Take: Total of the Year: Angels/Blue Jays Over the total. The Angels offense has been on a tear and they head to Toronto, a terrific offensive park. Starter Dan Haren has been very hittable with an ERA of 4.24. Haren gave up five runs off nine hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings against the Dodgers on Friday. After getting hit hard over his last two starts, the Angels pushed Haren back a few days hoping the extra rest would do him some good. It did not. He was hit hard right from the start, and while he was able to shut the Dodgers down for his last few frames, he had already thrown 102 pitches and was removed from the game. Haren's ERA has climbed to 4.24 after allowing 14 runs over his last 16.2 innings (3 starts). He faces a Toronto offense that is fourth in baseball in runs scored. The Toronto pitching staff has been rocked by injuries and ineffectiveness of late. Play the Angels/Blue Jays Over the total. |

06-25-12 | Cleveland Indians v. New York Yankees OVER 9.5 | Top | 1-7 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 49 m | Show |
20* Hi Roller Powerhouse Total : The Yankees finished their subway series with the Mets on Sunday and now return the short distance across town to home and hosting the Cleveland Indians. The Yankees still have hold of first place in the AL East, though it's tight, with six games separating first place from last place. In fact, the NL East is the only division in baseball where all the teams have a .500 or better record. Conversely, the Indians just lost first place in the AL Central to the Chicago White Sox. The AL Central is the weakest division with only two of the five teams above .500. The Indians will look to Josh Tomlin to get them back on the winning track today. Tomlin is 3-4 this season with a 5.12 ERA, but has shown some improvement of late with a 4.58 ERA. Tomlin has been very erratic of late, pitching well one game and then getting hammered the next. Hiroki Kuroda will start for the Yankees. Kuroda is 6-7 this season with a 3.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. Kuroda is coming off one of his worst starts in recent times with four earned runs allowed over seven innings for a loss against Atlanta. Kuroda has been a fairly consistent pitcher for the Yankees, though he has a losing record. This is a great spot for an over. The Yankees are a big hitting team, this is a hitters park and the Indians pitcher should get lit up pretty well here tonight. I expect Kuroda will likely go deep into the game, but if he gives up 2 or 3 runs then this one goes OVER.

Take: Over the total. Reason: Oklahoma City hosts Game 1 of the Finals Tuesday night and lets take a look at the total. What kind of tempo will be played? Oklahoma City prefers the uptempo game all the time with their young legs and exceptioinal depth, No. 3 in the NBA in scoring with 103 ppg. We saw an uptempo series against the Spurs, 4-2 over the total including the last 3 games, all part of an 11-4 run over the total. But what kind of style will Miami play? The Heat have preferred a slow paced defensive style in the playoffs the last two seasons, but they got away from that in the Boston series. 5 of the 7 games went over the total, including a 5-1 run over to end it. What happened was after Game 1 went under the total, Boston Coach Doc Rivers told his team to attack the rim more, as Miami was 21st in the NBA in rebounding and was without Chris Bosh. Well they have Bosh back now, but he |

06-06-12 | San Antonio Spurs v. Oklahoma City Thunder OVER 201.5 | Top | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 30 h 31 m | Show |
06/06 09:00 PM EST NBA (721) SAN ANTONIO SPURS VS (722) OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
Take: over the total. Reason: This series has been right out of the 1980s, with run and run action and plenty of points. Both defenses are good, but these offenses are so balanced and potent that whatever moves the coaches make to stifle the offense, the opposing offense is able to make adjustments or go to other hot shooters. The over is 25-9 in Spurs last 34 games following a loss and 27-10 over the total in their last 37 games as an underdog. The over is also 17-7-1 in the Spurs last 25 road games. Oklahoma City is confident and on an offensive roll after shooting just 42% in each of the first two games (both losses). The over is 41-15-1 in the Thunder's last 57 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5. And when these teams meet the over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings, including 6-1-1 over the total in the last 8 meetings in Oklahoma City. Play the Spurs/Thunder Game 6 over the total. |

5/31 09:00 PM EST NBA (709) SAN ANTONIO SPURS VS (710) OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
Take: NBA Playoff Game of the Year: Spurs/Thunder Game 3 Over the total. Tremendous value with a high scoring game here. Both teams are uptempo offenses, Oklahoma City with all those young legs who can run all night, while San Antonio has exceptional depth which they use to their advantage by running down opponents. Game 1 probably should have gone over the total, outside of a first half where both offenses looked rusty from the long layoff. But now we have the teams playing every other day and the offenses were outstanding in Game 2, a 120-111 win. The Thunder's 3-point defense was suspect coming into this series as even Dallas shot 37.1 percent from downtown and the Spurs got them for 101 points in Game 1, blitzing them in the 4th quarter with 37 points! At least the Thunder has plenty of offense averaging 103 ppg (3rd in the NBA), 6th in rebounds and 17th in points allowed (96.6 ppg) behind 6-10 Kevin Durant (27.9 ppg, 8 rpg), 23-year old Russell Westbrook (23.7 ppg) and 6-5 22-year old James Hardne (16.8 ppg) off the bench. But their defense is a problem as the Spurs shoot 46% in Game 1 and 55% in Game 2 making these teams 4-1 over the total for the season. The over is 26-9 in the Spurs last 35 games as a road underdog and 35-17-1 over the total in their last 53 road games. The over is 8-1 in the Thunders last 9 games as a favorite. And when these teams meet the over is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings in Oklahoma City. Look for both offenses to be in great form; Play the Thunder/Spurs Game 3 Over the total. |

05/09 09:35 PM EST NBA (727) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS VS (728) MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
Take: NBA 1st Round Total of the Year: Clippers/Grizzlies Game 5 over the total. The LA Clippers didn't get to the playoffs because of defense. They are 13th in the NBA in points allowed and 14th in field goal shooting defense. They are also one of the worst teams in the league at defending the three points, allowing .365% shooting -- ranked 27th. These teams are 3-1 over the total in this series. In Game 1, a 99-98 LA win that went over the total, LA shot 50% and Memphis won Game 2 105-98. The over is 23-9 in the Clippers last 32 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. But the offense is outstanding behind Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, in the Top 10 in shooting. They take on a Memphis team that has outstanding offensive options with OJ Mayo, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol and Rudy Gay. The over is 14-6 in Grizzlies last 20 Conference Quarterfinals games. With LA up 3-1, they are not likely to bring their 'A' game defensively after traveling 3,000 miles knowing this is not a "must win" game. Look for Memphis to score at will and for both teams to play more of an uptempo contest than the last two games, and this total is far too low. Play the Clippers/Grizzlies Game 5 over the total. |

Take: High Roller Tourney Total Powerhouse: Minnesota/Washington over the total. Washington (24-10) and Minnesota (22-14) battle it out in the NIT and this one features two outstanding offensive teams. Washington averages 75 ppg (34th in the nation), and just hung 90 on Oregon. The over is 4-0 in the Huskies last 4 neutral site games and 7-3 over the total in their last 10 non-conference games. Minnesota has plenty of offensive punch and is on a 5-1 run over total. Throw in the fact that the over is 7-0 in the Golden Gophers last 7 neutral site games, and this one will sail over. Play Minnesota/Washington over the total. |

3/12 07:35 PM PT / 10:35 PM ET
NBA (513) BOSTON CELTICS VS (514) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS Take: UNDER (NBA Total of the Year) Reason: NBA Total of the Year : If there is a "perfect storm" of an NBA total, then today is the day. Any time you can catch the Boston Celtics in the second of a back-to-back spot you really have to take a close look at the UNDER. So far this season the Celtics have seen today's scenario six previous times. The result? How about SIX UNDERS. And we are talking about posted totals all 180 or below too. The Celtics have averaged just 76.5 ppg in those six previous situations. And, since the Celtics have the league's third best defense, they can still keep these games low scoring - despite the low totals. What surprises me a bit, we get a 185 total here on Monday, the highest of any of these situations the Celtics have been in this season. The LA Clippers have been spotty at best of late, not winning more than one game in a row since mid-February. These are 5-13 Over/Under the last 18 times they have met. Expect a old, tired Boston team to run out of steam today. I love this spot for the UNDER. |

01/25 08:05 PM EST NBA (713) MILWAUKEE BUCKS (714) HOUSTON ROCKETS
Take: 20-Star NBA Powerhouse Total: Bucks/Rockets Over the total. Milwaukee has plenty of offensive talent to be scoring more points with Brandon Jennings pushing the basketball and big men Andrew Bogut and Drew Gooden, who are better offensive players than defensive ones. At least the offense is going after a rough start, winning 2 of the last 3 games, including a 100-86 win over the Knicks and a 91-82 win at Miami. The over is 7-3 in the Bucks last 10 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. They run into a Houston team that likes the uptempo game, scoring 105 and 107 points the last tow games, both wins. In fact, they've won 7 in a row and 8 of 9 while on a 4-2 run over the total. The offense is 7th in the NBA in points (97.9 ppg) and the over is 4-1 in the Rockets last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Look for a shootout; Play the Bucks/Rockets Over the total. |

Take: NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Year: Tampa Bay/Montreal Over the total. Like last season, Tampa Bay has a wide-open offense and a suspect defense, 13th in the NHL in goals scored by 30th in goals allowed. They are a bad penalty killing team and the over is 10-4 in the Lightning's last 14 vs. a team with a losing record, 36-17-3 over the total in their last 56 vs. Eastern Conference. Montreal has found some offense the last 4 games (18 goals), winning twice, including a 7-3 victory the last game over Winnipeg. The over is 5-0 in the Canadiens last 5 home games, 3-0-1 over their last 4 overall. Play Tampa Bay/Montreal Over the total. |

Take: High Roller TV Total of the Year: Stanford/Oregon Over the total. A Pac 10 showdown, the only two conference unbeatens! Oregon (8-1 SU/5-3 ATS) is tearing it up offensively under Chip Kelly, spreading the field, running the no-huddle and burning up defenses. They average 45 points with 210 yards passing and 290 yards rushing per contest behind junior QB Darron Thomas (19 TDs, 5 INTs) and junior RB LaMichael James (1,073 yards, 8.4 ypc). Oregon is on an 18-9 run over the total. Stanford (9-0 SU, 8-0 ATS) offensive coordinator David Shaw was promoted to head coach, so the same offensive style remains. Star QB Andrew Luck (26 TDs, 5 INTs) leads an offense that is averaging 48 points, 226 yards rushing and 257 passing. Stanford hasn |

Take: 25-Star Slapshot Total Blaster of the Month: Flyers/Lightening Over the total. Two outstanding offensive teams meet in Tampa Bay, as both love to skate uptempo and put pressure on the other team's defense. Philadelphia is No. 1 in the NHL in goals scored, 4 per game, but 24th in goals against. The Over is 21-7 in the Flyers last 28 overall. Tampa Bay is similar, an attacking offense that is 5th in the NHL in goals scored, though 25th in goals against. The over is 12-3-1 in the Lightning's last 16 games playing on 2 days rest and 20-9-2 over the total in their last 31 home games. And when these teams meet, the offensive fireworks fly: The Over is 19-9-2 in the last 30 meetings, including 4-1 over the total in the last 5 meetings in Tampa Bay.

11-07-11 | Chicago Bears v. Philadelphia Eagles OVER 47 | Top | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 50 m | Show |
Chicago comes off a bye week following the trip to England, a 24-18 win over Tampa Bay. The Bears (4-3 SU/3-4 ATS) have a talented defense led by linebackers Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher and a tough schedule, 3-1 at home but 1-2 away. The defense is stout against the run (13th) but the pass defense is awful allowing 272 yds per game (27th). The offense has had problems for offensive coordinator Mike Martz behind QB Jay Cutler (9 TDs, 6 INTs), who has been sacked 21 times. The offense is 18th in passing, 15th in rushing. Cutler threw for 226 yards and a touchdown, and the Bears intercepted Josh Freeman four times for their second win in a row. During the bye they let veteran S Chris Harris go. By letting Harris go, Lovie Smith and the coaching staff put a lot of faith in a pair of unproven players. Major Wright, a third-round draft pick in 2010, has started four career games and endured his share of injuries. Chris Conte, a rookie third-rounder, will make his third start when the Bears return to action at Philadelphia on Nov. 7. Philly (3-4 SU/ATS) loaded up with a boatload of talent in the offseason and has struggled, but they come off a 34-7 rout of Dallas with a dominant display, rushing for 239 yards against the No. 1 run defense. They had 495 total yards and held the explosive Dallas attack to 267 yards. So have they turned a corner? QB Mike Vick (11 TDs, 8 INTs) is playing with a broken bone in his right hand, but torched Dallas for 279 yards passing (21 of 28) and ran for 50 yards while LeShaun McCoy had 185 rushing yards. The main problems have been that both Eagle lines are suspect, especially the O-line. Pro Bowl DE Trent Cole could miss a month with a

11/06 08:30 PM EST NFL (429) BALTIMORE RAVENS (430) PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Take: NFL Total of the Year: Steelers/Ravens Over the total. Big division game and a revenge battle as the Ravens destroyed the Steelers in the opener, 35-7. While both teams have the reputations of great defensive teams, they are very good on offense, with Pittsburgh 9th in the NFL in yards, the Ravens 14th. Baltimore is also 7th in the league in points scored (26.4 per game). And both have balanced offenses, making it tougher to defense. Baltimore has QB Joe Flacco (8 TDs, 6 INTs), RB Ray Rice, WR Anquan Boldin and new WR Lee Evans. Billy Cundiff kicked a 25-yard field goal as time expired, Ray Rice scored a career-high three touchdowns, and the Baltimore Ravens rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat the Cardinals 30-27 Sunday. The Ravens rolled up 405 yards. The Over is 6-2 in Ravens last 8 games overall and 9-3-1 over the total in their last 13 games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0. The Steelers (6-2 SU/3-5 ATS) like to have balance on offense, but they can chuck it down the field, as we saw Sunday against the Patriots. QB Ben Roethlisberger (14 TDs, 7 INTs) has plenty of talented tools with RB Rashard Mendenhall, WRs Mike Wallace and Hines Ward, plus TE Heath Miller. The passing game is 8th in the league with 273 yards per game. They come off a dominating performance of the Patriots, a 25-17 win with an edge in yards 427-213 and 2-to-1 in time of possession. The game plan was outstanding, throwing underneath as Big Ben was 36 of 50 for 365 yards. Big Ben also threw for 5 TDs and the offense had 431 yards in a 38-17 rout of Tennessee. Linebacker LaMarr Woodley (9 sacks) got hurt Sunday and is questionable, a blow to the defense. In the past 56 games, only 3 times has Pittsburgh allowed a runner to reach 100 yards. The bad news is two of those have been this season, as Arian Foster chewed the aging D-line up for 155 yards and Ray Rice has done it the other two times (once this season). The Over is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings and with the weather good in Pittsburgh I see more points than oddsmakers expect. Play the Steelers/Ravens Over the total! |

11/02 07:35 PM EST NHL (53) PHILADELPHIA FLYERS VS (54) BUFFALO SABRES
Take: 25-Star Slap Shot Total Blaster: Flyers/Sabres Over the total. Like last year, Philadelphia has plenty of offensive firepower, 2nd in the NHL in goals scored, 6th on the power play. But that defense is still a problem, 28th in goals allowed. The Over is 10-3 in the Flyers last 13 road games, and on a 20-7 run over the total in the Flyers last 27 overall. Buffalo is 8th in the league in goals scored and 9th on the power play. The over is 8-3 in the Sabres last 11 vs. a team with a winning record, and 7-3 over the total in the Sabres last 10 home games. And what happens when these teams meet?

San Diego (4-2 SU, 2-4 ATS) is off to a good start, unlike last season. The offense is strong (7th in passing, 11th in rushing) behind QB Philip Rivers (7 TDs, 9 INTs), WR Vincent Jackson, WR Malcom Floyd, RB Ryan Matthews (452 rushing, 287 receiving) and TE Antonio Gates (soreness in his from a torn plantar fascia). They have 12 turnovers in 6 games, a problem last year along with horrible special teams play that kept them out of the playoffs. The defense: No. 6 allowing 297.8 yds per game, 21.7 points, after being No. 1 in yards allowed in 2010. They are at the end of the team
