    Sunday, November 11

    NFL Week 10 trends
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The cheeseheads in Wisconsin will pack Lambeau Field this weekend when the
    red-hot Green Bay Packers (7-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) return home to host the
    upset-minded Minnesota Vikings (3-5, 3-3-2).

    The Packers return home sitting atop the NFL Central Division and tied with
    Dallas for the best record in the conference. However, they can hardly
    afford to take the Vikings lightly despite a 23-16 road win in the initial
    series encounter.

    The underdog in this traditional rivalry had cashed in 16 of the previous 17
    meetings until the Packers prevailed as 1-point favorites at the Metrodome.

    Green Bay has been a poor investment as home favorites (5-12-1 ATS) and as
    division home chalk (3-9 ATS). The Packers have cashed six straight coming
    off a non-conference game.

    Minnesota has 'covered' nine of its last dozen against Green Bay. The
    Vikings have been tripped up in 11 of 13 ATS off an upset win as home dogs.

    The 'over' has cashed at a 12-4-1 clip in the last 16 shootouts on the
    frozen tundra of Wisconsin. Minnesota has eclipsed the 'total' in 20 of
    its
    last 28 in November. The Vikings have been on the low side in eight straight
    off a double-digit win.

    Trends and angles for the remainder of the NFL's Week 10 menu appear below.

    JAGUARS (5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS) at TITANS (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS)

    Tennessee upset Jacksonville in the season opener as 6 1/2-point road dogs,
    13-10. The Titans have won 13 of the past 18 series scrapes (12-6 ATS). The
    home team has won and cashed in 11 of the past 16 confrontations and the SU
    winner is 23-2 ATS. The Jaguars are 14-4 after losing by 14 points or more
    and they have cashed at a 9-2-1 clip as division road dogs. They have also
    'covered' six straight off a double-digit SU loss.

    BRONCOS (3-5, 1-7) at CHIEFS (4-4, 5-3)

    Kansas City has feasted on Denver at Arrowhead Stadium, winning 12 of 16 SU.
    The home team in this AFC West rivalry has cashed at a 10-2-1 pace. However,
    the Chiefs have failed in seven of 11 as favorites against the Broncos.
    Denver is 9-4 with division revenge. The Broncos are also 10-4 as division
    dogs of more than one point. Kansas City is 20-7-2 ATS at home after
    allowing 30 points or more. Eight of the last 11 series encounters have been
    on the high side.

    BILLS (4-4, 6-2) at DOLPHINS (0-8, 2-4-2)

    Buffalo has cashed four straight versus Miami, but it has lost eight of the
    last dozen series showdowns SU on the road. The Bills have 'covered' five
    straight this season and they are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 trips to the
    post. Buffalo is just 2-9-1 as division road favorites. The Dolphins are
    2-11 ATS versus division rivals. They have cashed eight of 11 as home dogs
    off back-to-back SU losses. The Bills have eclipsed the total in 17 of 26 as
    road favorites and in 13 of 16 following a double-digit victory.

    BROWNS (5-3, 6-2) at STEELERS (5-2 SU&ATS prior to Monday)

    Cleveland will be looking for payback after bowing to Pittsburgh in its home
    opener as 4 1/2-point dogs, 34-7. The Steelers have won and cashed seven
    straight versus the Browns overall and they are 12-2 SU and 10-4 ATS at home
    in this AFC Central rivalry. The Browns are 11-6-1 as road dogs of seven
    points or more and 18-6-1 ATS after scoring 23 points or more. Cleveland has
    zipped 'over' at a 15-4-2 pace as division road dogs and Pittsburgh had
    followed suit at a 12-1-1 clip as division home favorites prior to Monday's
    match with Baltimore.

    RAMS (0-8 SU&ATS) at SAINTS (4-4, 3-5)

    St. Louis has come up short in nine of its last 10 as double-digit dogs
    while New Orleans has floundered in eight of 10 as double-digit favorites.
    The Rams are 0-7 as road dogs of 10 1/2 to 14 points and they have failed to
    get the green at a 9-28-2 rate versus a non-division opponent. The red-hot
    Saints have won four straight after starting the year 0-4. However, they are
    1-12 ATS after scoring 28 points or more in back-to-back games when facing
    an opponent that's below .500.

    FALCONS (2-6, 5-3) at PANTHERS (4-4 SU&ATS)

    Carolina drew first blood this season, winning as 3 1/2-point favorites in
    Week 3 at Atlanta, 27-20. The Falcons are 11-6-3 ATS in the last 20 series
    clashes. The Panthers are 19-6 ATS after scoring 14 points or less in two
    straight games and they are 21-11 ATS after losing by double-digits. Atlanta
    has dipped 'under' in 17 of 23 on the road, including 11 of its last 12
    and
    seven straight on road grass. Carolina has knuckled 'under' in 14 straight
    as home favorites against division foes. The NFC South foes have been on the
    low side in 10 of the past 12 meetings at Bank of America Stadium and in 17
    of 22 confrontations overall.

    EAGLES (3-5 SU&ATS) at SKINS (5-3, 3-3-2)

    The underdog has barked in four of the past five series clashes between
    Philadelphia and Washington. The Eagles are 18-11 ATS versus division foes
    on the highway. They have also 'covered' at a 15-8-1 clip against the
    Redskins. Washington is 9-19 as division home favorites and 4-9 as series
    chalk. Philadelphia has strayed 'under' in 14 of its last 20 as division
    dogs on the road and in 13 of 17 on the highway after yielding 28 points or
    more. These NFC East rivals have slipped below the 'total' in 11 of 14
    meetings at D.C.

    BENGALS (2-6, 2-5-1) at RAVENS (4-3, 1-6 prior to Monday)

    Baltimore has won and cashed eight of its last 11 versus Cincinnati in Charm
    City. The favorite has clicked in nine of the last 11 showdowns and the SU
    winner is 20-2 ATS. The Bengals had 'covered' six straight on the road
    versus division foes until coming up short at Cleveland in their road opener
    this year. Cincinnati has zipped 'over' in 10 of 11 as division road dogs
    and the Ravens have followed suit in 11 of 16 as division home favorites.

    BEARS (3-5, 2-6) at OAKLAND (2-6, 3-5)

    Chicago has 'covered' 13 of 19 when facing teams from the AFC West, though
    it came up short in its first two chances this season. The Bears are 21-9
    ATS on the road in Weeks 10-13 and 23-8 away from home in November. However,
    they are only 4-11-1 ATS on the road versus teams from the AFC. Oakland is
    6-18 as home dogs of seven points or less and it has failed to get the green
    in 15 of 20 as home overall. The Raiders have cashed 10 of 15 as
    short-enders when facing a team from the NFC. Chicago has topped the 'total'
    in 15 of 20 as favorites and in six straight after allowing 17 points or
    less in two straight games. Oakland has bounced 'under' in 13 of 17 as home
    dogs and in 14 of 16 at home after the first month of the season.

    COWBOYS (7-1, 5-2-1) at GIANTS (6-2, 5-3)

    of 3 1/2 points or less. The Colts have also cashed at an 18-5-1 clip versus
    non-division foes on the highway. San Diego is 14-5-2 ATS after losing SU as
    favorites. However, the Chargers are 0-6 ATS off a non-conference game and
    1-6 ATS at home in November off a double-digit spread loss. Indianapolis has
    blown 'over' in 15 of 18 on the road when facing a team from the AFC West.
    San Diego has been on the high side in six of eight at home following a
    double-digit loss.

      Total bias: Week 10 over/under plays



      Sunday, November 11

      NFL over/under picks
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans over 35

      I know the last time the Jags and Titans played each other the final score resembled a baseball boxscore, but I think things will be different this time around.

      There's a good chance Jacksonville will have its starting QB back, which should be a big plus for the offense. David Garrard was playing flawlessly before a high ankle sprain put him on the shelf.

      Titans running back LenDale White has rushed for 100 or more yards in each of the last three weeks, and there'll be no Marcus Stroud clogging up the middle. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle begins his four-game suspension (steroids) this weekend.


      Indianapolis Colts at San Diego Chargers under 48

      The Colts' lack of depth at receiver was exposed last week. If Marvin Harrison plays you have to assume he's still not all the way back from his knee injury. Indy is a much better team when they stick to the ground game. That should be the game plan seeing how poorly the Chargers did against the run last weekend.

      Phillip Rivers concerns me. He doesn't read or respond well to the blitz. I've got a feeling the defensive-end tandem of Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney will be in Rivers' grill most of the game.


      San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks under 39

      The 49ers couldn't gain 10 yards even if you gave their offense six cracks. Star back Frank Gore is banged up and the offensive line is in shambles. Throw in a quarterback with a bum shoulder and you've got the formula for a great under club.

      The Seahawks are now one-dimensional with the football. If anyone knows where the real Shaun Alexander is could you please page him? The guy is killing my fantasy team. My crystal ball says there should be an abundance of kicking and punting on Monday night. Hope you?re a fan of special teams.

      Last week's record: 1-2

      Season record: 15-12

            Montreal Alouettes at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-7, 48)
            Sunday, Nov. 11, 2 p.m. ET

            Winnipeg is as healthy as it's been in some time, regaining the services of star RB Charles Roberts and DE Tom Canada for this weekend's game. The Bombers also swept the season series against the Als, going 3-0.

            But none of the Bombers' wins over Montreal this season were by double-digits. The regular season finale (also at Canad Inns Stadium) was a 20-17 squeaker that Montreal could have forced into overtime but for a late penalty or two. Further, the Alouettes have shown that they can stay in games with Marcus Brady at quarterback. Brady will be helped by the return of running back Jarrett Payton to the Als backfield.

            I can't side with Montreal in this game, however, even with the Als getting a full touchdown. The Alouettes stunk down the stretch and head coach / GM Jim Popp isn't helping matters with his actions and words. There has been grumbling around Montreal about Popp's "me-first" attitude and it has become messier with allegations that kicker Damon Duval is considering leaving the Als if Popp stays after this season. Duval is the son-in-law of Als team president Larry Smith.

            Popp also signed former Argos return man Bashir Levingston to play his first game in two months this weekend, much to the chagrin of Montreal's current kick returners. It's the latest move of many that could mark the end of Popp's reign over the Alouettes empire. He has spoken openly about what a nice fit former Ticats GM Marcel Desjardins would be somewhere in Montreal's front office. Duval likely isn't alone in hoping Popp is replaced by Desjardins, as opposed to merely joined by him.

            On the field, the biggest disparity between the teams will be in the trenches. Winnipeg's pass rush will be boosted by Canada's return. He'll have a crack against an all-Canadian O-line that finished last in the league by allowing 68 quarterback sacks. On the other side of the ball, Montreal's defense finished seventh in an eight-team league with only 36 sacks and faces a Bombers' O-line that allowed fewer sacks than any other club. The fact that Roberts' understudy Fred Reid had a monster day against the Als last weekend underlines how Winnipeg's line excels in run-blocking as well as protecting QB Kevin Glenn.

            Winnipeg hasn't won a playoff game since 2002, but that should change Sunday. This isn't the same Alouettes powerhouse we've come to know through the years, not even close. Montreal is a sinking ship with a descent ahead of it before thoughts of another Grey Cup appearance become reasonable.

            Pick: Blue Bombers -7


            Calgary Stampeders at Saskatchewan Roughriders (-6, 56)
            Sunday, Nov. 11, 5 p.m. ET

            They've been waiting for this in Regina a long, long time. It's been 19 years since the Riders hosted a playoff game, 31 since they won a home playoff game. There are a lot of reasons to count on Saskatchewan to deliver to the province's rabid football following.

            The Riders were consistently better than the Stampeders this season, for starters. Saskatchewan should also have its backfield in place, with both Wes Cates and Corey Holmes able to suit up on Sunday. And then there's the messy situation on the Calgary sidelines; reports indicate that the Stamps have already lined up Tom Hufnagel as a replacement for current head coach Tom Higgins once the season wraps up.

            But not everything is coming up Green for Sunday. The Riders wrapped up the regular season on a horrible note against the Argonauts. While Saskatchewan had nothing to play for, head coach Kent Austin was still disgusted by his team's effort a week ago. Of particular concern was the lack of pass rush, which led to Toronto quarterback Michael Bishop's great statistical day. Calgary has Henry Burris and a posse of threatening receivers. If the Riders can cough up 41 points to the offensively-challenged Argos, it's difficult to imagine the Stampeders getting shut down.

            Considering the questions still surrounding Calgary's 'D', it's difficult to imagine either team getting shut down. The Stamps canned defensive coordinator Denny Creehan less than a month ago and readjusted their defensive alignment. The first game in the new system was a success. Subsequent efforts have raised as many new questions as they've answered previous ones. Now comes word that defensive leader Brian Clark will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game, to the bewilderment of many of his temmates.

            "What's going on around here?" one Calgary player asked with a Calgary Sun reporter within earshot after the recent front office shenanigans. Nothing good. Luckily the Stamps have a healthy Burris. The quarterback was the league's best player in the second half of the season until his shoulder injury.

            The teams met three times this season with the combined points tally reaching 57, 66 and 54 points. Sunday will be a crisp day in Regina with a stronger-than-average wind, but I still like the odds of a shootout in the West Semifinal.

            Pick: Over 56

            Last week: 1-3

            Year to date: 35-37

                Pick 'n' roll: Saturday's best NBA bets

                Boston Celtics at New Jersey Nets (-2, 186)

                Boston's success this season might not be surprising, but it is impressive.

                The Celtics are shooting a league-best 52 percent from the field and holding their opponents to 38.9 percent shooting. Kevin Garnett is leading the team in four statistical categories, including assists (6), rebounds (15.3), steals, (3.3) and blocks.

                Ray Allen is leading the team in scoring at 24 points per game, while veteran Paul Pierce is averaging more than 22 points, five rebounds and five assists per outing.

                The Nets are 4-1 straight up (SU) this season with narrow wins over the Wizards (87-85), Hawks (87-82) and 76ers (93-88) and a blowout loss at the hands of the Raptors (106-69). The Nets are also one of the worst offensive teams in the league, averaging less than 90 points on 40 percent shooting.

                Richard Jefferson, New Jersey's leading scorer at 25 PPG, has been responsible for more than a quarter of the team's scoring through the first five games.

                New Jersey is 1-5 ATS in its last six contests playing on one day of rest and 1-5 ATS in its last six home games against a team with a winning road record.

                Pick: Celtics +2


                Toronto Raptors at Chicago Bulls (-5 1/2, 191)

                Chicago, which got the winless monkey off its back with Thursday's win over the Detroit Pistons, should register its second victory Saturday against the inconsistent Raptors.

                The Bulls are shooting a meager 39 percent from the field, which includes 27 percent shooting from behind the arc. The Bulls displayed significant improvement Thursday by shooting 46 percent against the Pistons' stifling defense. The Bulls' defense has also been impressive this season, limiting opponents to less than 41 percent shooting.

                The Raptors looked fantastic in their first two outings, toppling the 76ers and trouncing the Nets. However, they have now lost three straight, including a blowout loss to the Bucks.

                Toronto is shooting a lowly 43 percent from the field, while allowing its opponents to shoot 47 percent.

                      Ice picks: Saturday's best NHL bets

                      Tampa Bay Lightning at Washington Capitals (-130, 6)

                      The Lightning have been brutal on the road this season, but Thursday's 5-1 win at Carolina could mark a turnaround. After scoring only two goals in three road losses between Oct. 29 and Nov. 1, Tampa Bay has collected 15 goals in the past four games.

                      Washington is fresh off a 4-1 upset of the previously unbeaten Ottawa Senators on Thursday. Their payday as +255 underdogs ended a four game skid for the Capitals. They had collected only three total goals during the losing streak.

                      Tampa Bay lost its previous meeting with Washington this season, but is 5-2 in the last seven meetings overall.

                      Pick: Tampa Bay +110


                      Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins (-130, 5 1/2)

                      The Bruins have scored only four goals in their last four games. Not surprisingly, all those games were losses.

                      Boston's anemic offense (34 goals ranks the team 29th out of 30 teams in scoring) has contributed to a 3-12 over/under record, the most pronounced under trend in the NHL. The Bruins have recorded four straight unders, and played under oddsmakers' totals in eight of their last 10 games.

                      Meanwhile, Buffalo has been shut out twice in three games, and all three of those games played under the total.

                      Pick: Under 5 1/2 goals


                      Dallas Stars at Los Angeles Kings (+100, 5 1/2)

                      The Stars have dominated their recent meetings with Los Angeles, winning nine of 10 overall with a 4-1 mark in their last five trips to Staples Center.

                      Dallas goalie Marty Turco is 6-1 against the Kings in his last seven, with a 1.69 goals-against average.

                      The Kings and Stars have split their two matchups this season, with the home team winning in each case. But L.A. has lost its last two games at home and is coming off a week-long layoff.

                      Pick: Dallas -120

The Bruins gave no timetable for his return. Thornton broke a bone in his left foot and is expected to miss four to six weeks.

                        SPEAKING

                        ''Most of them are ugly, I don't think I've scored from further out than 10 feet. The second one was supposed to be a pass.'' - Vancouver's Henrik Sedin, who was attempting to hit twin brother Daniel Sedin with a backdoor pass when the puck deflected off Colorado defenseman Kurt Sauer and past a helpless Jose Theodore for the game-winning goal in a 2-1 overtime win on Friday. Henrik also scored on a controversial high stick early in the second period.

                            Phoenix at Orlando
                            Grant Hill jumped from Orlando to Phoenix because he wanted to win a championship. That may still happen, but right now it is the Magic who come into the game with a better record at 5-1 compared to the Suns' 4-2. Orlando returns home after a 4-0 road trip that culminated with a 112-102 win over the Knicks last night. Rashard Lewis, who was signed to fill the void created by Hill's departure, has lived up to expectations with a 22.8 scoring average on 55.1 percent shooting. He has complemented Dwight Howard's strong inside play (19.3 ppg, 14.2 rpg). Orlando looks ready to compete in this one and take advantage of its home underdog status (+1 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has the Magic favored straight up by 4 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Orlando (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

                              UC-Riverside at Texas Tech
                              Bobby Knight's career at Texas Tech has been marked by strong play from shooting guards such as Andre Emmett, Jarrius Jackson and Ronald Ross. This year looks to be no different as senior Martin Zeno returns after averaging 16.6 points per game last year for the Red Raiders. Beyond Zeno, though, there are questions as to whether Knight will be able to make the NCAA Tournament for the 29th time. The tournament looks to be an even bigger stretch for the Highlanders, who are coming off a 7-24 season and have added a new head coach in Jim Wooldridge. Tech should have enough firepower to cover the line (-19 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Red Raiders favored by 32. Dunkel Pick: Texas Tech (-19 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

                                New Jersey at NY Islanders
                                The Islanders have benefited from a light schedule in the early going with a league-low 12 games and just four on the road. The Isles have played three fewer games than any other team in the East and come into tonight's contest off a four-day rest. Rust hasn't seemed to be a problem as New York has won three straight and eight of 12 overall. The Devils schedule has been just the opposite as they had to open with nine straight on the road while their new arena was being finished. As a result, New Jersey has looked sluggish in giving up 44 goals in 15 games. The Islanders are the pick (-130) in this one according to Dunkel, which has New York favored by 2. Dunkel Pick: NY Islanders (-130). Here are all of today's games.
