OVER jags/bucs

Both the Bucs and the Jaguars saw their Week 1 Preseason game finish Under the number. I expect that to change this evening. Last year, under Coach Del Rio, the Jags also played a low-scoring game in their preseason Week 1 opener. They followed that up with a 50 point (27-23) score in Week 2, their highest scoring game of the entire 2003 Preseason. The Bucs offense looked good in Week 1, putting up 20 points - and that could have easily been more. Under Gruden, Tampa saw the Over go 4-1 in the preseason last year, including an Over in their Week 2 matchup. Their offense averaged 22 points per game over those five games. I expect Tampa to get somewhere close to that number again tonight and I also look for a much better effort from the Jags offense then we saw in Week 1. Look for the final score to finish above the low number. Play on the OVER

winning points

FLORIDA (Willis) +$115 over SAN DIEGO (Lawrence)
Just as they did a year ago, it looks like the Marlins are finally
making their move in the wildcard race. They've won five of their
last seven games including two of three from the hot Dodgers in LA.

Florida is 8-3 (+$370)in Dontrelle Willis' road starts (2.49 ERA) and he has a 3.05 ERA since the All-Star break and a 2.95 ERA in three starts in August. The Padres (5.23 team ERA last 10 games) are averaging 3.4 RPG at home vs. southpaws.

3* Atlanta Pick-em (line was Falcons -3)

Make no mistake about it; you will see a far different Atlanta Falcon team this week than the disheveled unit that went to Baltimore last Thursday night. The Birds had just come off three consecutive days of scrimmages on the road at Tennessee. They came back home a week ago Sunday night and had little preparation for the Ravens on the road four days later. But now they’ve had a solid week of practice and this week started with the return of middle linebacker Chris Draft and tight end Alge Crumpler. Last week Michael Vick was in for three plays. This week he will play at least a quarter. His statistics (12-of-24 with two interceptions) don’t look good, but I thought rookie QB Matt Schaub handled the offense fairly well against the Ravens last week. Minnesota defensively isn’t in the same class as Baltimore. While Baltimore scored 24 points, the Ravens had just 209 total yards of offense against Atlanta. As we expected Minnesota was high as a kite last week to take on Arizona, the team that prevented them from making the playoffs in 2003 thanks to that miracle 4th down pass. But in that game Arizona QB’s McCown and Navarre (debut) were a combined 10-of-13 which doesn’t give me much confidence in the Minnesota secondary, now without CB Brian Williams (knee injury). Atlanta’s secondary is much improved this year and DeAngelo Hall made an impact at Baltimore with two sensational plays. After Randy Moss, I’m not too worried about any of the Minnesota receivers. I also highly doubt Gus Frerotte (9-of-18 for 136 last week) will have the same kind of success on the road. After getting blanked at Baltimore, I have to expect Atlanta Owner Arthur Blank and Coach Jim Mora Jr. will want this game. Hall and fellow first-rounder Michael Jenkins are expected to return punts while Allen Rossum will return kickoffs. All three missed last week’s game in terms of special teams.

NFL preseason home teams are now 12-5 SU so far. This could have easily been 15-2 when you consider two visitors won in overtime last weekend (Bears and Panthers) and another one with 11 seconds to go (Colts
