Week 13: NFL Play of the Week

Yes, today it is the Dallas Cowboys.  Give new coach Jason Garrett a lot of credit for getting this team to play hard.  They may not be a playoff team, but they are better than the unit that was slaughtered by the Green Bay Packers a few short weeks ago.

Dallas getting 5.5 at Indy this week is a strong play.  Indy is hurting and Dallas will be ready for what the Colts throw at them.

Also, the Cowboys are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.  The Colts play well at home, but I cam see Dallas losing by a field goal as time expires, or winning the game.

Week 11: NFL Play of the Week

The New England Patriots

The Patriots take on a battered Colts team at 4:15 today.  The Colts have been decimated by injuries and the Patriots may be finally hitting their stride.

The Pats are only giving up 4 at home where they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight when favored by 3.5-10.

There are some strong trends favoring the underdog in this series, but not when one of the teams isn't nearly at full-strength.  The Patriots will will by at least 9.

Bonus Pick -Sunday Night Football - Giants at Eagles.  The Eagles are only giving up 3.5 at home and they are on a roll.  Take the Eagles, and "Take it Easy."

Week 10: NFL Plays of the Week

An important Sunday of football on tap.  Two great plays for the day.  The Titans and the Colts.

The Titans are on the road at Miami.  Miami has been having trouble putting points on the board.  Randy Moss makes his debut for Tennessee and look for hime to catch at least one touchdown.

The Titans are giving the Dolphins 1 pt.  I see an 10-point Titan win.

Another game...

I love Indianapolis over Cincinnati in Indy today.  The Colts are favored by 7, it should be more.  The Bengals have underachieved all season long.  The Colts are 3-0-1 in their last four games ATS.  Also they are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games when favored by 3.5-10 pts.  Look for P. Manning to put up some nice numbers today.  Colts win going away.

Fantasy Football Alert: Colt's Dallas Clark Out For the Season

Some fantasy football owners are crying and some are rejoicing.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark has been placed on injured reserve with a hand/wrist injury and is out for the season.

If you had Clark as your TE you were expecting to be without him this week, so at least most of you have a backup in place. It is so hard to replace a tight end the caliber of Clark, and those of you in contention may want to try and make a trade. Hardly anyone has even heard of his backup, Jacob Tamme, but if you have room on your roster, it might not be a bad idea to pick him up.

Peyton Manning spreads the ball around, so Tamme might come up big for you one week.

Week 6: NFL Play of the Week

Can it be week 6 of the NFL season already?  It is and by the looks of my picks so far, I'd like to turn back the clock to week 1.

Bye weeks, injuries, trades, and inappropriate text messages.  And that is just the weekly Brett Favre update.

But seriously, I'm putting a lot of effort into this week's selections.

When in doubt go with Indy and the over.  And that is what I'm going to do this week. 

The Colts are on Sunday Night Football and at Washington.  They are giving 3 to the Redskins but that is ok.  Take the Colts and the over 44 1/2.  I know it looks like under might be the only play, but what the heck.

Colts and the Over!
