San Diego at Denver
There may not be a more dangerous offensive team than San Diego right now. LaDanian Tomlinson (18 TDs) has been running wild and is on a pace to break Shaun Alexander's single-season record of 28 TDs in a season. He already broke the record for TDs over a five-game span (15) previously held by Jim Brown. And the offense showed last week that no deficit is too big to dig out of when they overcame a 21-point margin against the Bengals by scoring 42 points in the second half. Of course those numbers will be nearly impossible to replicate against a Denver defense that has allowed a league-low 12.3 points per game. But the Bronco offense (17.6 points per game) continues to be anemic at times as was the case last week in Denver's 17-13 win over Oakland in which Jake Plummer threw three INTs. The Broncos proved to be unable to keep up with the Indianapolis offense earlier this year. With San Diego's offense equal or better right now, the Chargers look like a solid pick getting the Vegas line (+3) according to Dunkel, which has San Diego favored straight up by 3 1/2. Dunkel Pick: San Diego (+3). Here are all of this week's games.

2006 Week 11 NFL
Raiders (2-7) @ Chiefs (5-4)-Trent Green was cleared to play by doctors, but he can't be ready to go yet; Chiefs had 3-game win streak snapped last week, but they've won last three home games by 41,3,7 points, scoring 35.3 peg. Over is 5-1-1 in Chiefs' last seven games, but 2-7 in Oakland games. Raiders have only one offensive TD on last 36 drives, with 17 3/outs; they're 0-4 on road, losing by 22,14,10,16 points, scoring 7.3 peg. Since they converted 13-19 on 3rd down vs. Arizona in Week 7, Raiders are 9 for last 42 (21.4%); they're 0-6 if they allow more than 13 pts.
Colts (9-0) @ Cowboys (5-4)- In their five wins, Dallas allowed 10,14,6,14,10 points; in their losses, they allowed 24,38,36,22. Indy is scoring 29.5 ppg on road this season. Colts are 9-0, but led at half in only three games; their four road wins are by 5,3,3,7 points. AFC South teams are 7-4 vs. spread in non-division games. Cowboys are 1-3 vs. spread this season when they won the week before, winning two of three at home. Indy is 30-49 (.612) on third down in its road games, Dallas is 25-44 (.568) in three Romo starts.
Bengals (4-5) @ Saints (6-3)- Not sure having Cincy players close to French Quarter night before game is great idea. Bengals lost last three games, by 2,6,8 points, and are 0-6 vs. spread in last seven weeks; six of their last eight games went over total, as did Saints' last four games. AFC teams are 14-4 SU vs. NFC clubs the last four weeks. Saints have become pass-heavy in three games since their bye, throwing for 1,075 yards, running for 208 (128 PA,78 runs). Underdogs are 9-2 vs. spread in NFC South non-division home games, 8-3-1 in AFC North road games.
Steelers (3-6) @ Browns (3-6)- Steelers are 3-0 with zero or one turnover, 0-6 with 2+ giveaways. Browns forced 2+ in three of last four games. In their last four games, Steelers allowed 41,30,31,31 points; Saints gained 517 yards at Heinz last week, so Pitt struggling on defense. Browns are 3-0 vs. spread since changing OCs (3-0 vs. spread); they've scored only 13.8 ppg at home, with all four games staying under total-three of their last four foes completed less than half their passes. Home side covered three of first four AFC North divisional games, with three of the four games going over.
Titans (2-7) @ Eagles (5-4)- Spread looks big, but Philly wins are by 14,14,22,14,24 points; none of their four losses are by more than seven pts. Eagles came off bye last week with big win over Redskins (three of nine Philly drives started in plus territory); they'd lost three in row before that. AFC teams have upper hand over NFC, but Titans are 1-4 on road, losing by 33,3,2,30 pts, with win at Redskins. NFC East home favorites are 3-5 vs. spread out of division; AFC south road dogs are 6-2. Last four Titan games went over total.
Falcons (5-4) @ Ravens (7-2)-Baltimore 3-0 since Billick started calling plays, scoring 29.3 ppg; they've averaged 6.5/7.9/7.7 yds/pass in last three games, after not gaining more than 6.0 ypp in any of first six games. Falcons lost last two games, scoring 14,13 pts, turning ball over six times; seven of opponents' last 25 drives started in Atlanta territory. Atlanta is on grass for first time since Week 1; Vick has completed just 52.2% of passes on road, and was 10-22 in Week 1 at Carolina. Baltimore is 3-1 at home, winning by 22,3,6 points. Last four Raven games went over total.
Rams (4-5) @ Panthers (5-4)- St Louis offense now in dire straits without injured OT Pace (out for year, biceps); they blew big game at Seattle last week, allowing 90-yd punt return for TD, then taking stupid 15-yd roughing penalty that helped set Seahawks up with winning FG. Carolina won three of last four home games; Monday was first time this season they outscored foe in second half. NFC West road dogs are 1-7 vs. spread in non-division games. Rams are 4-1 vs. spread as underdog this year, with their three NFC losses by 7,2,2 points.
Bills (3-6) @ Texans (3-6)- Bills' passing stats in last two games combined: 17-28, 115 yards. That's two full games. Buffalo lost four of last five games, but 17-16 loss at Colts last week had to be encouraging; they haven't turned ball over in last two games, but are 1-4 on road, losing by 2,33,3,1 point, and winning at Miami (16-6). Bills allowed 6,12,10 pts in three wins, an average of 25.3 ppg in losses. Houston split last six games after 0-3 start; but they've yet to win two games in row this season, allowing 34,28 pts in two post-win games. Texans are favored for first time this season.
Patriots (6-3) @ Packers (4-5)- Signing of Testaverde fueling the rumors Brady is hurt, putting backup Cassel (career sub at USC) in play this week. Patriots lost last two games, but are 4-0 on road this season, winning by 7,25,22,24 points- they've been way better on road than in Foxboro. Pack won three of four since bye, but 24-10 loss at Bills reminds us of AFC dominance over last four weeks. Pack is 1-3 at home, losing to Bears, Saints, Rams (by 26,7,3 pts), while beating Arizona 31-14. Under is 4-1 in last five Patriot games.
Redskins (3-6) @ Buccaneers (2-7)-Campbell gets first NFL start under center in same week Portis goes on IR (hand/out for year). Redskins lost four of last five games, are 1-4 on road, losing by 17,16,14,24 points, while winning at then-winless Houston. Bucs lost first four games, then won two, now have lost last three, scoring three offensive TDs on last 48 drives- they're nine for last 43 on third down. Have always felt that disappointing teams like Bucs don't have a home field edge. Five of last seven Tampa games went over the total.
Vikings (4-5) @ Dolphins (3-6)- Wonder if Culpepper would be tempted to hop Viking charter back to Minnesota, now that Joey Harrington entrenched as Miami's #1 QB; Fish won last two tilts vs. Bears, Chiefs, holding foes to two TDs on 24 drives, while forcing six turnovers, 10 3/outs. Vikings lost last three games, by 24,6,6 points, even though their defense has held those foes to just 58 rushing yds/game; they've scored eight offensive TDs on last 87 drives, tallying only 9 ppg in last three games. NFC North road teams are 4-7 vs. spread in non-division games.
Bears (8-1) @ Jets (5-4)- Chicago has turned ball over 15 times in last four games, major red flag. Bears in rare role of playing consecutive road games in same park; they're 4-0 on road this season, winning by 26,3,1,18 points; in last three road games, they've been outscored 39-13 in first half, but rallied to win all three. Jets won three of last four games; they're 4-1 if they score more than 17 pts, 1-1 if they score exactly 17, and 0-2 when they score less. Bears giving up 14.8 ppg on foreign soil, have trip to Foxboro on deck. Over is 7-0-1 in Bears' last eight games.
Lions (2-7) @ Cardinals (1-8)-This actually is a big game, both teams' best chance to win rest of way (Arizona could win at SF Dec. 24, but probably not); amazing thing is that taxpayers had to pay for these putrid franchises to each get a beautiful new stadium in last five years. Arizona hasn't won since Opening Day, is 0-5 with Leinart at QB and has been outscored 101-33 since leading Bears 23-3 in fourth quarter of that fateful Week 6 Monday nighter. Lions allowed Alex Smith to convert 10-19 on 3rd down last week, after Niners had been 15-58 on third down in previous five games.
Seahawks (6-3) @ 49ers (4-5)-Seattle expected to get both Hasselbeck, Alexander back for this, after they snuffed Rams' playoff hopes with late punt return last week; they're 0-2 on grass, losing at Chicago, KC. Niner defense allowed only one TD on 21 possessions while forcing seven turnovers since disaster in Chicago, when they trailed 41-0 at half. Seahawks allowed 100 points in last three road games, losing twice- six of their last seven games went over total. 49ers are 3-0 if they allow 13 or less points, but allowed average of 37 ppg in their losses.
Chargers (7-2) @ Broncos (7-2) - San Diego trailed 28-7 at Cincy last week, then posted 42 points in second half, scoring TDs on six straight possessions (excluding give-up drive at end of half) the kind of spurt championship teams put on. Both Charger Ls are by FG on road (at Ravens, Chiefs). Charger defense is weaker without Merriman, but offense has picked up slack without him.. Denver is 3-1 at home, scoring 9,13,13 in wins and 31 in the loss. AFC West home teams are 4-1 vs. spread in divisional play, with four of the five games staying under total. San Diego is 4-10-2 vs spread in last sixteen visits to Mile High City.
Giants (6-3) @ Jaguars (5-4)-Coughlin returns to franchise he built from ground up; his Giants have severe injury problems on defense, but had also won five in row before last week's implosion vs. Bears. Jaguars scored 13 or less pts in three of last four games (two TDs on last 32 drives); their defense has allowed total of 26 pts in last three games. Jags are 4-1 at home, posting two shutouts. Giants allowed 26,42,38 pts in their three losses, an average of 12.7 in wins. Three of last four Jaguar games stayed under the total. We'll update this figure before Monday night, but AFC has been dominating NFC of late.
BCLions started season 2-3, but are 12-2 since; they won 48-13 at Montreal in Week 12, then after a bye, beat them again 36-20 at BCPlace. Six of their last seven wins are by 10+ pts. Alouettes beat Toronto twice in last two games; but lost six of eight vs the western teams. At one point during season, Als were 7-0, then went on six-game skid that included pair of losses to Lions. Has pro football team ever won a title in season where they lost six times in a row? Five of last seven BC games stayed under total.

While we wait for the rest of the day's trends to come up, here's the light reading we missed the last three days:
Saturday's List of 13: Allegheny opens season with a win
13) Allegheny's Gators opened their season by coming back from 13 down in second half to nip Grove City 78-75 in OT. Allegheny goes for win #2 Saturday vs W&J at 6pm.
12) Not only is this a great country, but Canada is too; the Blue Jays gave Frank Thomas $18M for two years. Good luck with that. Frank's legs aren't going to like the carpet.
11) Box seats at Fenway Park next year will cost $105. Apiece. For one game, even if they're playing Tampa Bay.
10) The crowd of 14,836 at the Knicks' game Wednesday was their smallest home crowd in fourteen years.
9) No baseball on ESPN next year? WTBS has taken over the part of the package ESPN used to have. Instead, ESPN gets to ram car racing down our throats. How did I miss this?
8) There is a horse trainer named Haseem Rauf who needs a career change; his last 335 mounts have all failed to win.
7) Bronx Bombers say they take in $5M a year in licensing-related income from Japan because have Hideki Matsui.
6) Kentucky Wildcats have never gone nine seasons in row without being in a Final Four. This could be that 9th season.
5) Bruins are only NHL team that hasn't won game this year by more than a goal.
4) Nice of Seahawks to give Seneca Wallace a contract for 2007, since the guy is helping to save their season this year.
3) Over last five years, Ravens are 28-22 when Ray Lewis plays, 11-12 when he doesn't; they allow 4.8 more pts/game when Lewis sits a game out.
2) Through the first eight weeks of NFL, 168 less offensive holding penalties had been called. Now, if we can get them to stop calling penalties on punts and kickoffs……
1) How weird is it that Bo Schembechler dies the day before Michigan-Ohio State game? I don't think it'll affect the players much, but it'll darken the Michigan coaches' day a lot, Ithink.
Friday's List of 13: Random weekend thoughts........
13) Seibu Lions averaged 3,914 more fans when Matsuzaka was pitching, so he is very popular figure in Japan, which is a part of why the Red Sox broke out the big bucks this week.
12) Lets say the guy signs with Red Sox, so lot of people over there will become Red Sox fans. Lets say, conservatively, that 500,000 Japanese people buy Red Sox hat, jacket, shirts. We'll guess at an average of $30 per item, to make the math simple. That adds $15,000,000 to the Red Sox coffers, or 30% of huge amount they paid to negotiate with him.
11) That math isn't totally accurate, but you get the point; the Asian market is the next huge stash of cash that the weasels who own big league teams will try to exploit. I firrmly believe that in 20 years, major leagues will have an Asian Division, a little bit like when the NBA absorbed four ABA teams.
10) USC opened its new basketball arena with overtime loss to South Carolina. Trojans might struggle this year, but help is most definitely on the way. However............
9) People in LA are going nuts over OJ Mayo coming to USC, but to say he is another Lebron James is unfair to Mayo, who is very, very good, but not at the Lebron level (who is?). That said, USC is an NCAA tournament team as soon as he outs a cardinal and gold uniform on.
8) North Texas fired its football coach, three weeks after the guy had a heart attack, and even though North Texas won its league in four of last six years (just not this year or last).
7) One of North Texas' biggest boosters who gave the school $1M, reacted by requesting Coach Dickey's name be put on the building that had previously had his name on it, in honor of the huge contribution to the school. What a weird world.
6) Virginia is 3-7 in football this season, but has two shutouts and an overtime win. Thats not easy to do.
5) A full World Series share for Cardinal personnel ends up to be $362,713, so for Cardinal players making the major league minimum, they pretty much doubled their salary, plus a little.
4) By the way, the top ticket for World Series game was cool $250. For that much money, you'd think you'd get to see big league players who could field a bunt properly.
3) LSU is 27-point favorite over Ole Miss, but last three times Rebels visited Baton Rouge, they won by 11, lost by 1, lost by 3, so they've actually outscored LSU over last three visits.
2) My goal for 2007 is to become a voter for Heisman Trophy; 900 people vote for this thing, and some of them are nitwits. I watch way more college football than most people, so I think I deserve a vote. Nod if you agree........
1) Hawai'i QB Brennan has thrown 43 TDs, 7 INTs, but gets very little mention for the Heisman Trophy. I'd vote for him or Troy Smith, probably Smith if Buckeyes beat Michigan.
Thursday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..................
13) Mets gave Orlando Hernandez $6M a year for two years, even though he will be 41 next year, and has made more than 22 starts once in last six years, and that was a contract year.
12) Odd fact about El Duque: In his nine major league years, his five lowest salaries were the five years he played for the Bronx team. His four highest-paying years came elsewhere.
11) Quick prediction: Air Force, Winthrop will both win their first round game in NCAA tournament in March.
10) Winthrop was 0-1 from line vs North Carolina, Tar Heels hit 11-20, but only beat the Eagles by 7.
9) Greg Schiano's first two years at Rutgers, he lost to West Virginia twice, by combined score of 120-7.
8) If you're voting for Pro Bowl, vote for Buffalo's Moorman as the AFC punter; only 19 of his 50 punts were returned, and he has only one touchback all season.
7) Butler-Tennessee, North Carolina-Gonzaga in semifinals of preseason NIT next week in New York.
6) Kansas State held Rutgers to 19.1% shooting (9-47) in last night's 55-41 road win. Don't think I've ever seen boxscore of D-I game, where one team shot less than 20% from floor.
5) Since 1980, through nine games, only five teams have more points than San Diego's 297; the '00 Rams scored 354 through nine games, 49 points more than any other team.
4) The MAC has a football game on TV every night this wk, except Monday. My question is this: does having the Miami-Bowling Green game on TV in a mudbath during a rainstorm, with next to no one in stands, help either program?
3) Toronto is on verge of signing Frank Thomas to contract, opening up the possibility of the first ever "When will Frank's legs give out running the bases on artificial turf" pool.
2) According to the dude on the World Poker Tour on TV, a pair of 2's beats A-K unsuited 52% of the time.
1) Winthrop scared North Carolina, Northwestern State damn near beat Oklahoma State, Miami, OH gave Kentucky a solid 30:00, and Oral Roberts 78, Kansas 71. College hoop is the best, truly a national sport........

Davidson at Missouri
The post-Quin Snyder era has begun at Missouri with Mike Anderson leading the Tigers to a 4-0 record in the early going. But before the folks in Columbia get too excited consider that the wins have come against lower-rated NC A&T, Army, Stetson and Lipscomb. Missouri should get a stronger test today against Davidson. The Wildcats are 3-1 with the only loss coming by a respectable 10 points at Michigan. The Vegas line favoring Missouri (-5) looks to be too high according to Dunkel, which has the Tigers favored by only 1. Dunkel Pick: Davidson (+5). Here are all of today's games.

Chicago at LA Lakers
The Bulls would rather forget their Texas swing after losing three straight to Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. With still four more road games left on this trip, they'll try to get back into the win column tonight against the Lakers. L.A. has won two of its last three home games, but both wins came against lower-rated Memphis and Toronto. The loss was to another Central opponent (Detroit), which was playing without Richard Hamilton. This looks like a decent opportunity for the Bulls to pick up a rare road win according to Dunkel, which has Chicago favored straight up by 1. Dunkel Pick: Chicago (+3 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
