NFL - Tips and Trends (January 21)

NFL
Tips and Trends



Sunday, January 21

New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
NFC Championship (FOX | 3 PM ET)

• New Orleans is a solid team against the run with DT Hollis Thomas back from a four-game suspension, so Chicago QB Rex Grossman will need to take some shots downfield to WR Bernard Berrian like he did against the Seahawks. Saints CB Fred Thomas got burned on Philly WR Donte Stallworth's 75-yard touchdown catch last Saturday, and Grossman connected with Berrian on a 68-yard scoring strike the next day. EDGE: BEARS

• The Saints have numerous offensive weapons, which could pose serious problems for the Chicago defense. While rookie RB Reggie Bush is the least familiar with the cold conditions, he is still the most dangerous player on the field and the one Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera fears the most due to his receiving skills. EDGE: SAINTS

• Chicago's once-dominant defense has surrendered an average of 25.8 points in five games since All-Pro DT Tommie Harris was injured and lost for the season against the Vikings. BIG EDGE: SAINTS

• The betting public is certainly pounding the Saints, something Chicago head coach Lovie Smith may choose to use as motivation for his squad. The Bears will not get any respect until they beat a quality opponent like the Saints, and they will be looking to make Soldier Field an advantage. However, New Orleans head coach Sean Payton played for Chicago during the 1987 strike season and is a native of the area, so he knows all about the team's tradition and the weather there. EDGE: SAINTS

• New Orleans is 7-1 ATS last eight road games.

• New Orleans is 3-0-1 ATS last four regular-season meetings with Chicago and 8-1-1 ATS last 10 overall, including preseason.

• OVER is 9-1 in Chicago's last 10 home games.



New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts
AFC Championship (CBS | 6:30 PM ET)

• Former Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri broke the NFL postseason record with five field goals against the Ravens last Saturday, providing all of the team's scoring on a day Indy QB Peyton Manning turned in one of his worst performances. Vinatieri has 34 field goals in 19 playoff games and is much more experienced than his rookie replacement - New England's Stephen Gostkowski - who is a perfect 6-for-6 in this year's postseason, including a 50-yarder. EDGE: COLTS

• The Patriots did not fully take advantage of the NFL's worst rush defense in the regular-season meeting between the teams back on November 6th, letting Manning control the pace of the game. Instead, New England QB Tom Brady was pressed to keep up with Manning and ended up throwing a season-high four interceptions. Indy safety Bob Sanders played in that game, notching one of those picks and also registering a team-high eight tackles. Sanders has been the key for the Colts defensively in the playoffs, helping them hold opponents to just 14 points in two games. EDGE: COLTS

• Brady and head coach Bill Belichick are 12-1 SU together in the playoffs, with the lone loss taking place at Denver in last year's divisional round. BIG EDGE: PATRIOTS

• Indy is 9-0 SU at home, going 6-3 ATS.

• New England is 7-2 ATS last nine playoff games.

• Indy has covered and won the last two meetings after New England went 8-0-1 ATS in the previous nine meetings.

• New England is 5-0 SU & ATS last five games overall.

• OVER is 9-3 in New England's last 12 as a road dog.

Texas at Oklahoma State
The Cowboys handed Texas a 21-point loss last year when the two teams met in Stillwater, but should have a tougher time against the Longhorns tonight. A big reason is the play of Kevin Durant, who posted his fifth straight and 10th double-double of the year with 28 points and 13 rebounds in an 80-69 win over Oklahoma on Saturday. Texas has also been a very successful road team under Rick Barnes with a 42-23 record (.646) over his nine seasons. Oklahoma State is coming off its worst loss of the season (87-57) at Kansas in which the Cowboys shot just 32.1 percent from the field. The Longhorns look like a good underdog pick (+4) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Longhorns favored straight up by 5. Dunkel Pick: Texas (+4). Here are all of today's games.

Cleveland at Seattle
The Cavaliers shook off their worst loss of the season in Phoenix with a 104-92 win over the Clippers on Saturday. Not even the absence of Larry Hughes (tendinitis) could stop Cleveland from winning its ninth game in 11 tries. Seattle got 54 points out of Ray Allen in a 122-114 overtime win against Utah on Friday, but had lost six in a row prior to that game, including the last two against Eastern Conference foes (New York and Miami). Cleveland looks like a good pick to cover the Vegas line (-2 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has the Cavs favored by 6 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Cleveland (-2 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.........

13) Rumors are popping up about Marty Schottenheimer and his job status with the Chargers; my thought is this-- if you fire someone, fire the guy that let Drew Brees walk, because if Brees was playing for Bolts Sunday, they win the game.

12) And besides, if you fire Marty, who you hiring that will be a better coach than him?

11) It will be harder for Patriots to block Dwight Freeney in a dome game than at Foxboro, since pass rushers have an edge on artificial turf. If you're handicapping this game, how in the world do you give the Patriots points, again?

10) Phoenix Suns had 110 pts Monday. After three quarters.

9) All of which means Memphis has allowed 100+ points in 15 straight games; the record, over the last 10 years, was when the '97 Celtics allowed 100+ points in 17 straight games.

8) Only three conferences in college hoop don't have a team under .500 overall; the SEC, ACC and Missouri Valley.

7) Missouri is 0-4 in Big 12, but three of the losses have been by 1,4 and 3 points. Wait until Anderson gets his athletes in Columbia; Mizzou will be tough to beat.

6) If I had a vote for such things, and vote was held today, I would vote for Gilbert Arenas as NBA's MVP.

5) Twice in last three games, Utah Jazz has allowed a player to score 50+ points. This wouldn't happen if Jazz coach Jerry Sloan was still a player; he was a tough defender, and truth be told, Arenas would have hit the deck a few more times. .

4) The Knicks won six of last seven home games, raising the possibility that they'll win enough games to save the job of Isiah Thomas; this would be very bad for Knick fans.

3) If you bet every underdog in the college hoop rotation on Monday, you went 12-3-1 against the spread.

2) A horse named Mighty Wind posted a mighty win in the 10th race at Buelah Park Monday, paying $107 to win on a $2 bet. Mighty Wind is 9-79 in its career, but the 12-year old was just 1 or his last 22 before the big win Monday.

1) I like LaDanian Tomlinson, but my advice to him is if you don't want the opponent to celebrate on your field, then you have to beat them. Then they won't celebrate.
