NFL Line Watch - Week 3

Jacksonville at Indianapolis: -9 ½ to -7

Pinnaclesports.com pegged the Indianapolis Colts as 9 ½-point favorites last Sunday, a number that stuck until the Jacksonville Jaguars used the Monday Night Football stage to showcase their second upset of a preseason sweetheart in as many games.

Shutting out the defending champion Steelers was especially impressive and Pinnacle quickly downgraded Peyton & Co. to 7-point faves. That hasn’t budged since the wee hours of Tuesday morning.

Bettors shouldn’t count on the line dropping below the touchdown line. ***********’s Andrew Folkes wrote of the Colts’ rare status as an “underrated public team” and the books have even more reason to hold the line at seven.

“It has a lot to do with the conditions,” says Pete Korner, founder of the Sports Club consulting service. “Jacksonville is playing on the road and on turf. Add in the short week for Jacksonville as another factor against them.”

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: -3 to -1

The logical inverse of the Jacksonville line is happening with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The defending champs were established as three-point favorites over the Cincinnati Bengals, but their poor Monday night showing has sapped bettors’ confidence.

The line has shrunk in half-point increments through the week, with some books now listing the Bengals as merely one-point dogs as they venture into the Steel City. Cincy starting the season 2-0 and covered both spreads, including the opening week trip to Kansas City as slight underdogs.

5Dimes dropped the Steelers to 1 ½-point faves and bettors can expect another drop as public money pounds the Bengals.

“Yeah, I can see it going further,” says one of the sportsbook’s linesmakers. “It’s been dropping all week. It won’t go down much more, though, likely just down to –1.”

Baltimore at Cleveland: -4 ½ to -7

The Baltimore Ravens opened as tentative 4 ½-point faves for their trek to Ohio, though it wasn’t long before books made the Cleveland Browns 6 ½-point home dawgs.

Many books are still offering this number while Bodog, 5dimes and Sports Interaction bumped the spread to seven on Tuesday, where it has remained. Bet365 followed suit on Saturday afternoon.

Korner is surprised that the line hasn’t pushed even further.

“We opened that game at 7 ½ and you see many books reluctant to come up that far,” he says. “I’m really not too sure why that is the case. Baltimore has looked really good and with [quarterback Steve] McNair they have someone who can do it for them on offense.”

Korner only half-jokingly suggests that the Ravens’ defense is good enough to cover the spread by itself against a struggling Cleveland offense. Baltimore has won each of its games by a margin of at least three touchdowns, including first road venture in Tampa Bay as 3-point dogs.

Atlanta at New Orleans: +3 to +4 1/2

There’s some variation in the line for the Monday night game, where the Atlanta Falcons started off as 3-point visiting favorites. That spread has widened, but by how much depends on your book of choice.

The New Orleans Saints are currently dogged by either 3 ½, 4 or 4 ½ points. 5Dimes has had the Saints at +4 since Wednesday and bettors shouldn’t expect that to change any time soon, despite heavy action on the Falcons.

“It’ll likely stay at four points,” says the linesmaker at 5Dimes, who admits that even if bets continue to pour in on Atlanta the line will top out at 4 ½.

Both teams enter 2-0 straight-up and have covered each of their games, but Atlanta’s margin of victory has been wider and achieved against decidedly more difficult opposition.

2006 Week 3 NFL

Jets (1-1) @ Bills (1-1)- Impressive start by Bills, holding Pats, Miami to 25 points in splitting pair of road games. Play of Losman still concern, as Bills just 7-24 on third down- will be harder to Magahee to find running room if Bills don't have passing threat. Jets have thrown ball for 588 yards, run it for 142 in 1-1 start; they need better balance, but showed spunk scaring Patriots after trailing 24-0 last week. Home side won last seven series games, with Jets losing last three games in Buffalo by 11,5,10 points.

Packers (0-2) @ Lions (0-2)- Both teams off to disappointing starts, with Pack losing twice at home, while Lions have just one TD in two games. Detroit has started 12 of 21 drives 80+ yards from end zone, so up to defense/special teams to create better chances for offense still learning Martz system. Pack allowed 60 points in pair of home losses, giving up 9.0/7.4 yds per pass attempt. Home team won six of last seven series games, with five of last six series totals 37 or less. Lions are 31-24 vs spread after loss last 5+ years, Pack 13-10 last 3+ yrs.

Redskins (0-2) @ Texans (0-2)- Washington's new offense has scored one TD on 21 drives this year, putting up total of just 511 yards; they've been outscored 20-3 in second half. Skins had 11 penalties for 117 yards in Dallas, so second straight trip to Texas becomes huge game for Washington. Houston still struggling on defense, allowing 127.5 rushing yds/game; foes are 18-30 (60%) on third down so far, awful numbers, and Texans have been outgained 956-540, albeit vs strong teams (Eagles, Colts). Skins won only series meeting 26-10 three years ago in DC.

Jaguars (2-0) @ Colts (2-0)- Jags on road after Monday night's physical, emotional home win; they've lost eight of ten vs Colts, but only one of last six series losses was by more than six points. Jax lost four of last five visits to this site, with losses by 29,7,10,7 pts. Indy not as balanced with James gone; they've run ball for only 180 yards, passed for 662 but they'll get stiffer challenge from Jax defense that has five INTs in two games. Colts have converted 20-28 on third down (71.4%) in two games, and are also winning field position battle, with 13,7-yd edges in average starting field position. Jags have also had edge in field position (+9,+17).

Titans (0-2) @ Dolphins (0-2)- Tennessee in desperate straits with Collins at QB and raw rookie Young behind him; with Volek gone, there is no #3 guy yet. Miami ran ball for 192 yards in 24-10 home win vs Titans in Week 16 last year, as Fish forced Titans to go 3/out on seven of 15 drives, but Dolphins not running it well so far in '06, gaining 130 yards on 38 carries (3.4 ypc). Miami only has two TDs on 22 drives this season, hard to lay double digits, even vs Titans squad that covered eight of last 23 after a loss. Titans completing 41.3% of passes, converting 28% on 3rd down.

Bears (2-0) @ Vikings (2-0)- Home side won last eight series games, with Bears losing last five games at this site, by 18,11,5,34 pts. Chicago stepping up in class some here, as they complete opening three-game swing vs division foes, but Bear defense allowed only two of 20 third down conversions (10%) in first two games, as they outscored first two opponents 40-0 in first half. Vikings have pair of FG wins, as defense has held enemy to 7-27 on third down (26%) and two TDs on 22 drives. Bears 11-6 vs spread after a win under Smith.

Bengals (2-0) @ Steelers (1-1)- Carson Palmer tossed long TD pass on first series of playoff game vs Pitt last winter, but blew his knee out on play and Bengals lost. Cincy won two of last three visits to Heinz Field, their only wins in last nine series games; last four totals at this site were all 44+. Steelers on short week after Monday night loss at Jaguars. Bengals had to have this game circled on calendar after home playoff loss; they already have three TD drives of 80+ yards, as Palmer has made amazingly fast recovery from his injury. Steelers 10-5 vs spread after loss last three years.

Panthers (0-2) @ Buccaneers (0-2)- With other NFC South teams at 2-0 and facing each other Monday, loser here is three games behind in race they were supposed to contend, so this is very big September game. Bucs have three points in two games (0 TDs on 22 drives), running ball for 66 yards on 29 carries thus far. Panther run defense has allowed 392 rushing yards in two games (4.9 ypc), but held foes to 6-28 on third down. Carolina won five of last six series games, winning last three visits to this site by 3,17,20 pts. Panthers are 9-5 vs spread after loss last 2+ years, Bucs are 19-13-1 last 6+ years.

Ravens (2-0) @ Browns (0-2)- Baltimore defense yet to allow TD, but facing third anemic offense in row; they've allowed 65 yards on 39 rushes in two games (1.7 ypc). Browns been outscored 26-3 in first half of games; they've allowed 155 rushing yards/game in losing two games they had field position edge in. Cleveland 7-4 vs spread after loss under Crennel, Ravens 13-10 after win last 3+ years. Home team won last four series games, with four of last five series totals 36 or less. Ravens, who used to be the Browns, are 4-3 in their returns to Lake Erie.

Rams (1-1) @ Cardinals (1-1)- St Louis offense struggling in transition to new scheme; in two games, they've scored one TD on 20 drives, are -84 in penalty yardage and just 10-32 on third down. If defense allowed 49ers 10.6 yards per pass attempt, what will Arizona receivers get? Cards are 13-28 on third down (46%) but have run ball for just three yards a carry, so Warner is making plays with his arm. Rams are 6-2 in series since it became division rivalry, winning first meeting all four years; they've won three of last four visits to desert, but Cardinals have home field edge for first time this year, with their new dome.

Eagles (1-1) @ 49ers (1-1)- How will Eagles react after 4th quarter collapse last week cost them home division game? Philly crushed Niners 42-3 in Week 2 last year (with 49ers coming off win vs Rams, just like now), with 583-142 edge in total yardage; McNabb was 33-39/443 passing, as Eagles scored six TDs on ten drives. Norv Turner has improved Niner offense; they've run ball for 117 yds/game, and averaged 7.0/10.6 yds per pass, but blitzing Eagle defense will supply Smith's toughest test so far in '06. 49ers winning field position battle so far, as eight of 21 opponent drives started 80+ yds from paydirt.

Giants (1-1) @ Seahawks (2-0)- Home team won last seven series games, with Seattle winning here 24-21 in Week 12 OT tilt last year, Giants' third straight loss here (by 5,2,3 pts); their last win in Seattle was 25 years ago. Giants gained 490 yards in last year's game, but had kicking issues, missing three of five FG tries. Not sure why Eli plays so much better in 4th quarter than rest of game, but he does; Giants averaging 418.5 yds/game, are 10-23 (43.5%) on third down and have 272 rushing yards in two games. Seattle banged up on OL, but defense allowed only one TD on 22 drives, with enemy getting inside their red zone only one time in two games.

Broncos (1-1) @ Patriots (2-0)- Shaky Plummer (one TD in two games) takes act on road to face revenge-minded Pats. Denver beat Patriots twice at Invesco last year, including playoff win that turned on shaky interference call vs NE. Broncos won four of last five visits to Foxboro; their only loss in last five series games was 30-26 at this site three years ago. Denver ran ball for 178 yards in regular season win last year, with two TD drives of 80+ yards. Patriots 24-12 vs spread after win last 3+ years; they've run ball for 330 yards in two games this year, converting 13-27 (48%) on third down.

Falcons (2-0) @ Saints (2-0)-Superdome re-opens with Saints facing archrival Falcons who lost last two visits here; three of last five series games were decided by FG. Saints have never opened season with two road wins before, so Brees/Bush era off to flying start, scoring 26.5 ppg, converting 15-33 on third down (45.5%). Atlanta 2-0 after wins at Carolina, vs Bucs; they've run ball for third-highest total ever after three games (558 yds) so Saint run defense that held first two foes to 74 ypg will be reated again. Five of last six series totals were 43+. Vick's cousin Aaron Brooks was dumped by Saints last winter.

**Udog** · 09-24-2006, 08:13 AM

Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up college football Saturday

13) Michigan State's John L. Smith is an awful game manager; last year, he butchered the Ohio State game when they had a FG blocked and run back for TD right before halftime, when they didn't have enough guys on the field. Saturday night, he topped that disaster.

12) Down 37-21 entering the fourth quarter, Notre Dame didn't onside kick with 3:00 left, trailing 37-33,; Spartan return man, for some reason took knee on his own 12-yard line, when he had chance to advance ball few more yards. Then, on the 3rd down play with 2:00 left, State threw a pass, and had it picked for a TD and the very improbable loss. Horrendous loss.

11) Brady Quinn for Heisman campaign is in dumper, though.

10) Ole Miss has to be real glad they fired David Cutcliffe, he of six winning seasons out of seven. Since firing Cutcliffe, the Rebels are 4-11, and sinking quickly. They lost at home to a Wake Forest team using a freshman backup QB. Deacons are one of nation's best-coached teams, getting most out of little, while Ole Miss is spinning its wheels, getting nowhere.

9) NC State pulled rabbit out of its hat when new QB Evans threw TD pass with :08 left to stun Boston College 17-15, but why did they kick the PAT? Up 16-15, if kick is blocked and run back for two points, they lose game, when they could just take a knee and eliminate that risk from the equation.

8) Stanford is horrible; now 0-4, Cardinal allowed 157 points in four games. Not good to be 0-4 with a senior QB. Actually, its never good to be 0-4.

7) Florida International is also 0-4, but the losses are by total of eleven points. FIU could be a threat in the Sun Belt.

6) Who will the new coach at North Carolina be? When you get beat 52-7, its time to start packing the bags and updating your resume, especially when they beat I-AA Furman 45-42 last week, for their only win this season.

5) Penn State gave up two TDs on INTs in last 3:00, as a 14-6 deficit became a 28-6 loss. Not good if you took the 17 points.

4) Colorado had Georgia by throat and other body parts, up 13-0 after three quarters, then stopping Dawgs on downs on two occasions in fourth quarter, but 3rd-string QB Cox led a last-minute drive to save major panic in Bulldog Nation, 14-13 Buffaloes can build on the effort, but they're also 0-4. Georgia has real reason for concern as schedule gets tougher.

3) Boston College and Alabama both lost because they don't have a good kicker; how can teams at that level not have kid who is reliable from 45 yards in?

2) Kentucky is better than they have been; looking at who is on their schedule rest of the way, they could make it to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, if they win winnable tilts.

1) Every week I write this article, USC has won; they have lot of new players, but they just keep winning. No one says lot about Pete Carroll being a great coach-- how can that be?

Last night Brad Penny couldn't hold a three-run first inning lead and lost to Miguel Batista, who hadn't won in over six weeks. Today the pitching drops off a little for the Dodgers with rookie Hong-Chih Kuo (1-5, 4.72) facing veteran Livan Hernandez (2-2, 3.90 ERA in September). That's a tough matchup for an uncertain Dodger team and makes the D-backs a solid play with the run line according to Dunkel, which has the game even. Dunkel Pick: Arizona (+1 1/2).
