IRON HORSE 10* A.L. BLOWOUT OF THE MONTH
CONGRATULATIONS once again to Carlo Campanella as he CRUSHED the books last night with his "Bookie Buster of the Year!" (Texas) Campanella is now 33-19 with his last 52 Guaranteed MLB selections and looks to dominate again on Saturday with this BLOWOUT backed by 2 Key Angles that combine for an awesome 23-5 winning record!
Guaranteed Pick: Carlo Campanella
Game: Minnesota Twins at Cleveland Indians Aug 14 2004 7:05PM
Prediction: Cleveland Indians
Reason: Cleveland's on fire as they host Minnesota on Saturday night. The key to this game is that it's being played in Cleveland as we find the Indians at 16-4 at home against A.L. teams with a .265% or lower team Batting Average. Westbrook takes the mound for the Tribe and they're a solid 7-1 at home when he squares off against an A.L. team that's averaging 4.7 or less Runs Per Game. Cleveland remains hot and in the Playoff hunt.

The NFC Champion Carolina Panthers take to the field for the first time since Super Bowl XXXVIII on Saturday night, as they visit the Washington Redskins. Carolina was the surprise team of the NFL a season ago, making a Super Bowl appearance just two years after finishing 1-15. Jon Fox's club will take on a Redskins team fresh off a 20-17 victory over Denver in the Hall of Fame Game this past Monday and a PRO INFO SPORTS winning OPINION SELECTION. The contest marked the return of head coach Joe Gibbs, who had been off the sidelines for 11 years.
Both teams have solid QB rotations. Jake Delhomme is expected to play sparingly in the Panthers' first preseason tuneup, and will be succeeded by Rodney Peete and Chris Weinke as they are vying for the No. 2 quarterback job. Fox will want to get a long look at an offensive line that will feature four new starters.
The Redskins figure to be a bit ahead of Carolina in terms of development after opening the season with Denver earlier in the week, but they didn’t look particularly sharp in the victory. QBs Mark Brunell hit only 4 of 8 passes for 18 yards against Denver, while Patrick Ramsey went 3 of 8 for a paltry 12 yards. In Canton on Monday, Washington's offense looked like they were still getting acquainted. They were clearly out of synch and if it weren't for third-string quarterback Tim Hasselbeck completing 70 percent of his throws, the passing game would have been much worse than 14-26 for 148 yards. They also managed only 72 yards on the ground and fumbled three times.
We don’t expect the ‘Skins to fare much better against the Panthers’ stout defense. Gibbs sounds like he'll run another bland. "You're trying to use good common sense in preseason," Gibbs said. "You're trying to do enough so you can evaluate your players. Obviously you don't want to do anything to jeopardize your regular season." We also don’t expect the Carolina offense to do much in their first outing against an aggressive Washington defense, especially working behind an offensive line that’s a work in progress.
The biggest factor in this game, however, to hold the scoring down may well be the weather. The forecast is calling for rain and heavy winds. Such conditions will make it very difficult for either offense to do much of anything. In the last 3 preseasons, Carolina has been a road underdog of 3 ½+ points and saw the final score fall UNDER the total each time, while we note that Saturday home teams off a SU win in their last game have seen the final fall UNDER the total in 15 of 22 games, including the only 2 times it came up last year. This figures to be a close, low-scoring game coming in UNDER the total as well, with the losing team probably held to single digits.
FYI, Legend Killer he is 4-2 in his pre-season GOYs.
Also, Little Feeble Alice is an absolute zero. Way to go alice with the preseason TV GOY loss of 24-0 and Preseason GOY year loss 24-6 on consecutive nights! Sorry to all of you who don't want to hear another jab at alice but there are newbies who need help. SweetLou may also need help removing his head from little feeble alice's anus.

3* Pittsburgh/Detroit 'OVER' 35 1/2.
Good luck Saturday night guys...Mark
Our first total in the 2004 preseason is the ‘OVER’ in the Pittsburgh/Detroit game. I like the QB rotation here as Maddox, Roethlisberger, and St. Pierre potentially could all be productive for the Steelers. I can also live with Harrington, McMahon, and Mirer. Detroit is determined to improve on their pathetic running game from 2003 (last in the NFL). But reality will set in midway through the 2nd quarter and the Lions will revert to the air. Coach Cowler held running backs Staley and Bettis out of live hitting in Thursday’s practice so it’s unlikely either will play much tonight (if at all). But history favors the ‘OVER’ here along with the fact both teams are beat up defensively. The Lions scored 26 and 38 points in their two home preseason games last year they scored 20, 22, and 23 points in their final three tune-ups in 2002. We witnessed 39 points here last year when the two clubs met and 56 in this facility two seasons ago. According to the depth chart, four of the front seven projected defensive starters are out tonight for Pittsburg and Cowler also stated that three of the four secondary members (Scott, Townsend, and Hope) will all miss tonight. Detroit is listing both starting cornerbacks in Bly and Bryant as out. Coach Mariucci said on Wednesday “the linebacker spot is a little thin right now.” The key for me is Roethlisberger, who is expected to get significant playing time. This guy is going to be a sensational pro and if the Steelers can give him time, “Big Ben” will pick apart any secondary in the game. I suspect both teams can easily scratch out 17 points to ensure the ‘OVER’.
