Tough card this week...but I played this one already.

Small Size 1 Unit Play:

2 game 7 point teaser
New Orleans Saints +7
Over Eagles
&
Arizona Cardinals +10
Over Jaguars

Saints +7?The Eagles beat the Saints 38-23 last year in New Orleans?but the Saints were without the services of RB Reggie Bush and TE Jeremy Shockey in that game?this week the Saints will likely be facing an Eagles team that will be without QB Donovan McNabb?The Eagles offense had only 267 total yards last week, but beat the Panthers easily because of 7 Panther turnovers?on the flip side?the Saints offense was clicking on all cylinders racking up 45 points and 515 total yards?their defense gave up 27 points to the Lions but surrendered only 231 total yards... Bottom Line - Both teams have numerous trends pointing in their favor, but I?ll take a Saints team looking for revenge (with the generous 7 in the teaser) over an Eagles team playing without it?s starting QB?Drew Brees won?t gift-wrap this one like Jake Delhomme did last week?Saints Outright!
New Orleans 31 Philadelphia 24
WINNER!

Cardinals +10?The Cards lost to an underrated Niners team last week 20-16 despite outgaining them 299 yards to 203 and piling up 17 first downs to the Niners 13? two Kurt Warner INT?s was the difference?the Cardinals offense isn?t in mid-season form just yet because they played without WR/KR Steve Breaston and had a banged-up Anquan Boldin in the lineup?Boldin practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday, while Breaston will likely be a game-time decision?on the flip side?the Jaguars offense managed just 12 first downs and 228 total yards in their loss to the Colts?this week the Jags will face a very good Cardinals defense led by DT Darnell Dockett?Dockett and Co. held Frank Gore to just 30 yards on 22 carries last week?The Cardinals are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on grass, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall?.The Jaguars are 2-5 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss, 2-14 ATS in their last 16 games on grass, 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games, 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite, and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall?Even though the Cardinals offense isn?t in gear just yet, their defense should be able to stifle the Jaguars attack?I?ll take the better team plus the generous +10 in the teaser here.
Arizona 17 Jacksonville 13
WINNER!

CASH!!!

Firstngoal.... Have you considered Arizonas record playing an early game in the east? I don`t believe it is very good. Just a heads up.:scared

Good luck Sunday.

Thanks for the heads-up post. :mj06:

I have considered it, but feel the Cardinals will cover the +10 if they fall to the Jags on Sunday. I think the Cardinals defensive line is going to overwhelm a Jaguars O-Line that will be starting 2 rookies (Eugene Monroe (Virginia) at LT and Ebon Britton (Arizona) at RT) on Sunday.

Added this Super Small (1/2 unit play)

3 game 10 point Teaser

Green Bay Packers +1 over Bengals?The Packers are a much better team and could cover the 9 point spread.
Green Bay 30 Cincinnati 17

Oakland Raiders +13 over Chiefs?The Raiders won outright in KC last year and could do it again on Sunday.
Oakland 23 Kansas City 20

Miami Dolphins +13 over Colts?I expect the home team Dolphins to be fired up for their Monday Night matchup against a Colts offense that will be missing WR?s Harrison (in limbo) and Gonzalez (hurt). Miami Outright?
Miami 20 Indianapolis 17
LOSS!




Leans:

San Francisco 49'ers -1 over Seahawks
The Niners defense led by MLB Pat Willis will be the difference in this one.
WINNER!

Lean:

Baltimore Ravens +3 over Chargers...Chargers will be without starting center (Hardwick), note tackle (Williams), and halfback (Tomlinson).

WINNER!

Lean:

Miami Dolphins +3 over Colts

I'm favoring the home team Dolphins +3 to have a chance at an outright win tonight over a Colts team that is short on talent at the WR position at this time and a team that will have problems protecting Peyton Manning...The Colts are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Monday games...but only 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings with the Fins...The Underdog is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings...and the Road team is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
