Saturday's Games

Top 10 Games

South Florida had bubble burst at Rutgers last week, can still be Big East champs; they covered last four games that followed a loss. UConn covered six of last seven tries as home dog; they have benefitted in two games from horrible calls. Home side won both series meetings in Big East play, but it was 33 degrees out when USF lost here late in '05 season. Bulls have win at Auburn, so they can play on road. UConn's only loss: 17-16 at Virginia.

Wisconsin won its last two games vs Indiana: 41-24/52-17; they were 18-23/330 passing vs Hoosiers LY in 52-17 win (539-279 in total yardage). Indiana needs one win to become bowl eligible; they're 0-5 (2-3 vs spread) in last five such games. Badgers won 44-3 over bad Northern Illinois last week, after losing pair of Big 11 games. IU allowed 88 points in losing last two games, giving up 560 rushing yards. QB Lewis fumbled three times in second half last week, in game Indiana had legitimate chance to win.

Texas A&M covered 14 of its last 20 home games, but unbeaten Kansas (have played 117th-ranked schedule, out of 119) comes to town; they lost last three visits here by 14-pt average. Aggies are 7-1 vs Kansas, but Jayhawks have road wins at K-State and Colorado, so they're legit. Both A&M losses came on the road (34-17 at Miami, 35-7 at Tex Tech). Aggies have 1,094 yards on ground in last four games, all of which stayed under the total.

USC is underdog for first time since '03; they had been favorite of 6+ points in each of previous 53 games. Visiting team covered eight of last 10 SC-Oregon games- Trojans won last couple trips here, 44-33/45-13, but covered just one of last five road games in Pac-10. Ducks averaged 50.5 ppg in their six wins; their loss was 31-24 at Cal, when Oregon player fumbled on 1-yard line trying to stretch over goal line. Last five USC games stayed under total

Florida won 15 of last 17 vs Georgia, but last five series games were all decided by seven or less points; Dawgs scored 14 pts or less in seven of last nine series games. Meyer covered one of his last nine as roade favorite, Richt is 9-2-1 vs spread as road dog, 6-1-1 off a bye. Tebow is banged up, sat out some practice time this week; Gators are 2-2 in SEC, winning 30-24 at Ole Miss, 45-37 last week at Kentucky. Georgia scored 12,14 in its losses.

Maryland covered six of last seven vs erratic Clemson side that is ranked #118 in country in special teams. Last three Terp-Tiger games were decided by total of 8 points. Maryland lost in final 0:16 vs Virginia last week; their last two games were decided by a total of three points. Clemson's last four wins are all by 23+ pts but they have losses at Georgia Tech (13-3), vs Virginia Tech in between (41-23). Four of last five Clemson games went over.

Rumors are strong that Fulmer could get ax after season unless Vols beat South Carolina, finish strong; they've been outscored 55-7 in second half of losses at Florida, Alabama, an indication team goes in tank when they get behind in second half. Carolina was 6-1 until 17-6 home loss to Vanderbilt last week; now they're juggling QB's and are 2-24 on 3rd down in last two games. Vols covered just two of last 11 tries as home favorite. Spurrier is 7-1 vs spread in last eight tries as road underdog.

West Virginia won last 12 games vs Rutgers, winning in last two visits here, 35-30/27-14- road team covered four of five in series. WVa covered eight of last 10 as road favorite; Rutgers is 12-4 vs spread in last 16 tries as home dog. Knights handed USF its first loss last week; they scored 68 points in winning last two games, after pair of home losses (34-24/28-23) to Maryland, Cincinnati. West Virginia's six wins are by 38-25-17-41-41-25 points.

Penn State's 17-10 home win vs Ohio State in '05 was Buckeyes' last loss in Big 11 and only JoePa win in last five series games; OSU lost five of last seven visits to this site. Home side covered last nine series games-- Lions covered five of their last six tries as home dog. OSU's 24-17 win over Michigan State last week is misleading; both Spartan TD's were scored by defense, after the Buckeyes grabbed 24-0 lead in 3rd quarter. Penn State is 5-0 at home. Rain is expected for this game.

California lost last two games, giving up 61 points; they've only held one of seven foes under 24 this season. Erickson is 14-3 as home fave in Pac-10 play; his Sun Devils have outscored foes 136-29 so far in '07, but they've also fallen behind 14-0/19-0 at home- if they do that here, they ain't winning. Bears won four in row in series, taking last two visits here, 55-38/51-23. Problem for Cal is they've lost last two Saturdays; ASU had last week off.

However, the Bulls are not concerned about that and are simply hoping to win the Big East title. "We talk about adversity all the time and this is another part of (dealing with) adversity," USF LB Brouce Mompremier said. "It will show what type of team we have.

#18 Georgia vs. #11 Florida at Jacksonville (CBS | 3:30 PM ET)

Florida QB Tim Tebow is returning to his home of Jacksonville for the first time as a starter and will be extra motivated despite nursing a shoulder injury. Tebow is coming off an outstanding performance in a 45-37 win at Kentucky last week, throwing for four touchdowns and running for another. "I've see quarterbacks who can run, but not with that kind of power and toughness," Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. "And he's throwing the ball extremely well. He's a leader, and he's just tough. And that makes that whole football team tough." EDGE: FLORIDA
The Bulldogs are coming off a bye week that enabled them to get healthy. Marcus Washington could return to action at middle linebacker after missing the previous game with a shoulder injury. "The bye week gave me a little bit of extra time to get healthy," Washington said. "Now, I'm going to come out and practice this week and tackle full go, and we'll see what happens this weekend." Still, Knowshon Moreno is expected to make his second straight start at RB due to injuries to Thomas Brown and Kregg Lumpkin, but he has been named one of four captains this week after rushing for a career-high 157 yards in a 20-17 win over Vanderbilt.

Texas is 5-1 vs. Nebraska since Osborne retired from coaching. EDGE: TEXAS
The Longhorns have won their last two Big 12 games on the road by a combined score of 87-13 after dropping four straight conference games for the first time since 1956. Texas outrushed Nebraska 128-38 in last year's 22-20 victory and hope to get RB Jamaal Charles his first 100-yard game since September 15th.

Clemson at Maryland (ABC | 3:30 PM ET)

The Terrapins are coming off a tough 18-17 home loss to Virginia last Saturday after winning their previous two games by a combined 12 points. If Maryland hopes to make a bowl game, this is the team's best bet to get a key quality victory since three of the last four games are on the road and the only home game remaining is against Boston College. SLIGHT EDGE: MARYLAND
Clemson's offense got a major confidence boost in a 70-14 win over Central Michigan last week. The Tigers were coming off a bye week and had scored a combined 26 points in their previous two games.

The Aggies will surprisingly be facing their first ranked foe of the season and are tied atop the Big 12 North with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

The team's offense has been a major concern for head coach Steve Spurrier, who suffered his first career loss to the Commodores in 15 games. "This should not be a shock to our team," Spurrier said. "This should not be a shock. Hopefully, it will straighten them out." EDGE: TENNESSEE
Spurrier remains undecided about who will start at QB after Chris Smelley and Blake Mitchell combined to throw three interceptions in last week's loss. "All the quarterbacks practiced tonight - Tommy Beecher, Chris Smelley and Blake Mitchell," Spurrier said. "We'll find one to start somewhere in that group, hopefully by Saturday." EDGE: TENNESSEE
Tennessee head coach Phil Fulmer is 13-1 lifetime vs. South Carolina but only 4-8 during his career against Spurrier. Fulmer called a rare Sunday practice after his team suffered a devastating 41-17 loss to Alabama last Saturday. The Vols committed a season-high 11 penalties for 81 yards. "Both of us are in the mix for the Eastern Division championship, so you have a game that is crucial, both schools coming off tough losses," Fulmer said. "We want to get back on the right track."

They have won a school-record 26 straight regular-season games since suffering a 17-10 loss at Penn State back on October 8th, 2005.

College Football – Top 25

College Football Top 25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Ohio State Buckeyes held on to the top spot in the college football Top 25 this week, but the rest of the Top 5 went through a big shakeup.

Out of the Top 5 this week is former No. 2 South Florida, while Oregon enters the Top 5 in their place. The rest of the Top 5 saw Boston College up to No. 2, LSU up to No. 3 and Oklahoma holding steady at No. 4.

The biggest losers of the week were a pair of “south” teams, as South Florida and South Carolina both dropped nine positions after big losses. Also taking large drops were California down eight spots and Kentucky, which fell six places.

The biggest gainers of the week were Arizona State, Florida and Michigan. All three schools moved up five positions.

There were four new schools in this week’s Top 25, as Virginia, Alabama, Penn State and Rutgers all found their way in. Exiting to make way for the new blood were Tennessee, Texas Tech, Cincinnati and Kansas State.

1. Ohio State – 8-0 (1) – The Buckeyes retained top spot in the rankings after defeating Michigan State 24-17 last week. Ohio State travels to No. 24 Penn State this week in what could be a tough Big Ten matchup.

2. Boston College – 7-0 (3) – The Eagles moved up one spot despite not even taking the field last week. Boston College gets their biggest test of the season so far when they face No. 8 Virginia Tech on the road this week.

3. LSU – 7-1 (5) – The Tigers climbed back into the Top 3 after holding off Auburn 30-24 last week. LSU heads to No. 22 Alabama this week with first place in the SEC West on the line.

4. Oklahoma – 7-1 (4) – The Sooners held onto No. 4 after knocking off Iowa State 17-7 last week. Oklahoma is off this week before taking on 6-2 Texas A&M on November 3.

5. Oregon – 6-1 (7) – The Ducks entered the Top 5 after ripping Washington 55-34 last week. Oregon gets their biggest game of the season this week when they travel to No. 9 USC.

6. West Virginia – 6-1 (7) – The Mountaineers climbed over Mississippi State 38-13 last week. West Virginia has a road game at No. 25 Rutgers this week.

7. Arizona State – 7-0 (12) – The Red Devils moved into the Top 10 even though they were off last week. Arizona State can prove they’re for real this week if they can defeat No. 18 California.

8. Virginia Tech – 6-1 (11) – The Hokies also found their way into the Top 10 despite getting last week off. Virginia Tech has a tough home game against No. 2 Boston College this week.

9. Florida – 5-2 (14) – The Gators put an end to their short losing streak with a 45-37 win over Kentucky last week. Florida’s ride through the SEC continues this week with a game at Georgia.

9. USC – 6-1 (13) – The Trojans blanked Notre Dame 38-0 last week to vault back into the Top 10. USC has a tough road game this week at No. 5 Oregon.

11. South Florida – 6-1 (2) – The Bulls tumbled down the rankings after losing to Rutgers 30-27. South Florida will try to rebound this week versus 6-1 Connecticut.

12. Kansas – 7-0 (15) – The Jayhawks defeated Colorado 19-14 last week to stay undefeated. Kansas travels to 6-2 Texas A&M this week.

13. Missouri – 6-1 (15) – The Tigers blasted Texas Tech 41-10 last week. Missouri has an easy game at home versus 1-7 Iowa State this week.

14. Kentucky – 6-2 (8) – The Wildcats fell out of the Top 10 after losing to Florida 45-37 last week. Kentucky gets Mississippi at home this week.

15. South Carolina – 6-2 (6) – The Gamecocks suffered a shocking 17-6 loss to Vanderbilt last week that shot them down the rankings. South Carolina needs a win this week against 4-3 Tennessee.

16. Hawaii – 7-0 (17) – The Warriors were off last week after beating San Jose State 42-25 back on Oct. 12. Hawaii returns to the field this week versus 4-4 New Mexico State.

17. Texas – 6-2 (19) – The Longhorns ran over Baylor 31-10 last week. Texas takes on 4-4 Nebraska at home this week.

18. California – 5-2 (10) – The Bears' swoon continued last week as they were upset by UCLA 30-21. California has a must-win game against No. 7 Arizona State this week.

19. Michigan – 6-2 (24) – The Wolverines kept moving up the rankings after defeating Illinois 27-17 last week. Michigan should easily knock off 1-7 Minnesota this week.

20. Georgia – 5-2 (21) – The Bulldogs were off last week after edging Vanderbilt 20-17 back on Oct. 13. Georgia has a tough matchup with No. 9 Florida this week.

21. Virginia – 7-1 (-) – The Cavaliers scraped past Maryland 18-17 last week. Virginia heads to 2-5 N.C. State this weekend.

22. Alabama – 6-2 (-) – The Crimson Tide got into the rankings after crushing Tennessee 41-17 last week. Alabama gets a break this week to prepare for No. 3 LSU on Nov. 3.

23. Auburn – 5-3 (18) – The Tigers slipped five spots in the rankings after losing to LSU 30-24 last week. Auburn needs a win versus Mississippi this week to stay in the Top 25.

24. Penn State – 6-2 (-) – The Nittany Lions rejoined the Top 25 after defeating Indiana 36-31 last week. Penn State takes on No. 1 Ohio State in an important Big Ten matchup this week.

25. Rutgers – 5-2 (-) – The Scarlet Knights entered the rankings basement after knocking off former No. 2 South Florida 30-27 last week. Rutgers gets another Top 25 opponent in No. 6 West Virginia this week.

Dropped out:
Tennessee (20)

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts (-6, 47 ½)
Saturday, Oct. 27, 3 p.m. ET

There are a lot of reasons to like the Argonauts and just as many to dislike the Bombers this week.

Toronto has been a payout machine, going 8-1 ATS since Week 9. The Argos covered the spread in both games against Winnipeg during that run and now boast an 8-1 ATS mark against East Division teams in 2007. The Boatmen have also won and covered in each of their last five games, allowing only 13.6 points per game and winning each by at least a touchdown.

The Argos can vault into first place in the East with a win. Toronto is already the host city for the Grey Cup but the Argos’ postseason could be even sweeter if they can make Rogers Centre the venue for the East Final as well.

Winnipeg, in the meantime, has to deal with fresh injuries galore. Rob Pikula hurt his ankle during practice this week, leaving the punting role to a newcomer and the kicking role up for grabs. Charles Roberts is questionable with a thigh bruise. DE Doug Brown is out with a broken orbital bone.

Even more troublingly, the Bombers recent passing game hasn’t met its early-season standards. Winnipeg has led the East for a long time but its reign ends on Saturday afternoon.

Pick: Argonauts -6


Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders (-7, 52)
Saturday, Oct. 27, 7 p.m. ET

Anthony Calvillo took an indefinite leave of absence from the Als this week due to his wife’s serious illness. Calvillo’s situation has cast a pall over the Alouettes and understandably so. He’s pure class, one of the most respected players in the CFL, and has far bigger things to worry about than the outcome of a football game.

"A good friend and his family are suffering. It makes you not want to go run around," Calvillo’s long-time teammate Ben Cahoon told reporters. "It makes you want to know what you can do to help out.”

The game will go on, however, and Montreal will play both Jason Maas and Marcus Brady at quarterback this Saturday. It’s an important game for the Als in terms of the standings, as they haven’t clinched a playoff berth yet. But “important game” doesn’t carry much weight among the Alouettes this week. They’re 1-5 SU and 0-6 ATS over their last half-dozen games and Calvillo’s plight won’t help that improve.

Calgary has a lot to sort out before the playoffs start. The Stamps will play hard this Saturday despite knowing they’ll finish third in the West. Their 4-3 defense is still so new and Henry Burris wants a quality outing before the postseason.

Pick: Stampeders -7

Last week: 2-2

Year to date: 32-32

Oakland at Tennessee
The Titans had to play last week without Vince Young at QB, but found that Kerry Collins could move the offense well enough to put 38 points on the board against Houston. Young should be back this week and will look to improve in the red zone where Tennessee was just 2-for-9 and had to settle for eight Rod Bironas FGs. Those struggles pale in comparison, though, to what Oakland has been going through lately. The Raiders have managed only 98 yards rushing over the last two games after averaging 194.3 through the first four weeks. That has put the pressure on QB Daunte Culpepper to step up and the veteran has failed to deliver in back-to-back losses to San Diego and Kansas City. Coach Lane Kiffin is staying mum as to whether Culpepper or Josh McCown will start this week. But either should have a difficult time against a Titan defense that is allowing a league-low 59.7 rushing yards per game and ranks sixth in total defense (290.0 ypg). Tennessee looks like a good pick to cover (-7) according to Dunkel, which has the Titans favored by 18 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Tennessee (-7). Here are all of this week's picks.

Browns (3-3) @ Rams (0-7) —St Louis is having the worst-case scenario season, with five losses by 14+ points, no home field edge, a horrible offensive line; one of their guards got arrested on his day off for hitting his wife. Great. Trap game for Browns,
0-2 on road (26-24 at Oakland, 34-17 at Foxboro) but with win here, slip into playoff contention. If you exclude Rams’ 34-31 home loss to Arizona, they’ve scored one TD on their last 58 drives- one writer called their OL worst in modern NFL history. Browns had last week off—this is their first game of year on artificial turf. Six of last seven Ram games stayed under total, but five of six Cleveland games went over.

Lions (4-2) @ Bears (3-4) —Detroit lost five of last six visits to Soldier Field, dropping last two, 34-7/38-6; their 37-27 home win vs Chicago four weeks ago (Lions scored 34 points in wild fourth quarter - Bears led 7-3 at half), was their first in last five series games. Griese led Chicago on 97-yard drive for their upset win in Philly, keeping their season alive, but Bears allowed 34 points in losing each of last two home games. In first meeting, Bears had 14 penalties for 102 yards, averaged just 2.8 yards per pass. Detroit has allowed 21-56-34 points in its three road games; they are 1-2 with less than three takeaways, with their two losses by 56-21/34-3 scores- they allowed 11.9/8.6 yards/pass attempt in those games.

Colts (6-0) @ Panthers (4-2) —Indy traveling again off physical Monday night division game, have Patriots on deck, but Carolina stuck between Carr/Testaverde under center, and Panthers are 0-2 at home (34-21 vs Texans, 20-7 vs Bucs) as home side is 0-6 in their ’07 games. Colts have four wins by 18+ points; they’re road wins are 22-20 (Titans), 30-24 (Texans), 29-7 (Jags). Carolina is coming off its bye; they’ve won three of last four games, have five INTs in last two games, after having zero in first four. Colts scored 29+ points in five of six games- only Texans held them to 22. Colts scored double figures in 11 of 12 halves this season, with second half at Tennessee (six) only time they didn’t. Last three Panther tilts stayed under.

Giants (5-2) vs Dolphins (0-7) (@ London) —Red-hot Giants cross pond to face a woeful Dolphin outfit whose best offensive player (RB Brown) is out for year (knee). Winless Fish have backup QB Lemon under center, trying to score enough points to offset porous defense that allowed 90 points in last two games, 31+ in five of last six. Giants won, covered last five games, with last four wins by 11+ points; they’ve given up just three TD’s on foes’ last 46 drives. Miami allowed 11 TD’s on opponents’ last 20 drives, with Browns lighting them up for 41 points. Not sure if distractions of travel will neutralize huge edge Giants have in almost every area of this game. 90,000 expected for night game at Wembley Stadium.

Raiders (2-4) @ Titans (4-2) — Young expected back under center for Titans, who blew 32-7 lead in Houston last week, only to rally for winning FG at gun behind backup QB (and former Raider) Collins, as PK Bironas set NFL record with eight FGs. Home side won four of last five series games, with Raiders 1-3 in this state; average total in last five series games, 64.2. Oakland scored just 24 points (two TD’s on 22 drives) in losing both games since its bye; they’re 2-1 as road dog, winning at Miami, losing at Denver (23-20OT), San Diego (28-14). Tennessee split its two home games, losing to Colts (22-20), beating Falcons (20-13)- their wins this year are by 7-17-3-2 points. Under is 4-1-1 in Titan games.

Eagles (2-4) @ Vikings (2-4) — If you take away 56-21 win vs the Lions, Philly has scored three TD’s on 50 drives this year (they had eight TD’s on 13 drives vs Lions). Eagle defense allowed the game-winning 97-yard TD drive in last 2:00 to Griese’s Bears last week, so now their season hangs in peril, with Cowboys, Skins on deck in next two weeks. Minnesota coach Childress was once OC for Eagles, so he knows McNabb well; problem is, his own QB isn’t NFL-ready (6-19 passing last week); Vikings are 0-4 if they score less than 24 points—Philly’s last three opponents scored 16-9-19 points. Five of six Philly games stayed under total this season. This is Eagles’ first visit here in a decade.

Steelers (4-2) @ Bengals (2-4) —Home side lost last six series games, with Steelers 11-4 in last 15, 8-1 in last nine here, winning last six in Queen City, by 27-7-5-14-14-6OT points). Bengals snapped four-game skid last week, rallying from 20-10 halftime deficit; they’re 0-3 when they score less than 27 points. Steelers lost last two road games; all four of their wins this season are by 21+ points. Last week, Denver (7.5) was first team to average more than 5.5 yds/pass attempt vs Steelers in ’07. Bengal defense has given up 33.4 pg in last five games; they’re 0-4 with negative turnover ratio, 2-0 with positive one. In last three games, Steelers scored 7-7-7 in first half; in first three games, they had 17-12-14 points at the half.

Bills (2-4) @ Jets (1-6) —Buffalo (+3.5) won first meeting 17-14 four weeks ago, in game that was 0-0 at half, a game that sent Jets spinning on current four-game skid; this series split in seven of last eight years- Bills lost four of last five visits here, and are 0-2 on road in ’07, losing 26-3 at Pittsburgh (+9.5), 38-7 at Foxboro (+16), much tougher foes than they face here. Jets are 1-3 in the Swamp; their only win was 31-28 win vs 0-7 Miami (led 31-13 late in game)- they trailed at half only once during current skid, twice leading by 10. Only once in seven games have Jets outscored its opponent in second half (outscored 94-41 in second half of last five games). Jet run defense allowed 188-151-177 yards in last three weeks.

Texans (3-4) @ Chargers (3-3) —Unsure of site of this game, due to wildfires in San Diego area; would guess it will be Arizona, like last time fires forced Bolts out of town. Ton of distractions for Charger staff, players and coaches, as real life intrudes. Houston rallied from 32-7 deficit to take lead in last minute last week, but couldn’t prevent Titans from driving field for eighth FG of day, the game-winner. Texans lost field position battle by whopping 24-yard average last week; Titans started seven drives in Texan territory, kicking five FGs on those drives. Not sure if Rosenfels or Schaub will QB Texans; both seem capable. Houston is now -9 in turnovers their last five games. Way too many variables to pick this game.

Jaguars (4-2) @ Buccaneers (4-3) —Garrard is out (ankle), Quinn Gray is QB, and backup needs to be signed, as WR Jones (played QB at Arkansas) was #3 QB Monday. Jags are also traveling on short week, albeit fairly short trip to Tampa, where Bucs are 3-0 this season, winning by 31-14/24-3/13-10 scores. Tampa allowed just three TD’s on 30 drives at home this year. Jags are 2-0 on road, winning at Denver, Kansas City, two tough places to play, but that was with Garrard under center. Home side won all three series games, with Bucs winning 17-16 in only game here, back in ’95). Four of last five Tampa games stayed under the total.

Saints (2-4) @ 49ers (2-4) —Niners are go-against team as long as Dilfer is QB; they’ve lost last four games, scoring 10.3 pg (four TD’s on 46 drives), they’re -6 in turnovers last 3 weeks. Saints scored 25 pg in winning last two weeks, after 0-4 start; they’re 1-2 on road, losing only grass game 31-14 at Tampa. 49ers lost last two home games (23-3 vs Seattle, 9-7 vs. Ravens) scoring one TD on last 25 home drives. Saints scored 33 pg in winning last three series games, but all three were in Big Easy; they lost nine of last 11 visits to this site, but that was back when teams were division rivals, and Niners were much stronger team. Saints’ pass defense improved in last two games.

Redskins (4-2) @ Patriots (7-0) —Pats won, covered first seven games, scoring 34+ points in all seven; they’ve won home games 38-14/38-7/34-17 but Colts are on deck, while Skins are capable foe getting ridiculously high spread. Skins’ only losses are 24-17 at home to Giants (they led 17-3 at half), 17-14 at Lambeau (led
14-7 at half)—they’ve held every foe but Giants under 20 points. Arizona is only team that has averaged more than 5.4 yards per pass attempt against them. Patriots are a machine right now, with 32 TD’s on 68 drives, with 13 FGs tried and only 15 3/outs. Over is 6-1 in their games; under is 4-2 in Washington’s games. Very difficult to go against Brady, approaching best-ever tier of QB’s.

Packers (5-1) @ Broncos (3-3) —Second straight night home game for Denver, but Rockies could be playing Game 5 of World Series two miles away at same time, which should distract locals. Broncos have allowed 23-38-41-28 points in last four games and three of those were at home- they’ve allowed 13 TD’s on foes’ last 28 drives. Pack’s only loss was 27-20 home night game vs Bears, game they led 17-7 at half. AFC teams are only up 14-12 vs NFC after seven weeks, closer than recent years. Team that won battle for field position has won every Packer game. Last five Denver games went over total, as did four of last five Green Bay tilts. Broncos have three wins, by 1-3-3 points.
