Happy NY guys. Can't remember which one of you guys posted EXEC easy 400% CBB winner yesterday, but thanks to you both, As usual, EXEC is quietly killing the books with his 400% and higher plays...both in FB and in hoops. If I could just maintain my damn discipline and play NOTHING but those plays, I could retire a few years earlier. Anyway, just wanted to thank you and remind anyone looking for solid plays....THESE ARE THEM. As you know, his 600% bowl GOY called for a 6 point SU win by ASU....EZ money...

3- OVER Pitt
Sunday Night Opinion- Giants OVER
Phil Sh*t and Northcoast have really sucked lately. I swear I could choke Phil everytime when he comes on his full service line and talks about the unfortunate losing day the day before "...BUT for the year..." or "...the past 12 years, we're (Northcoast) are blah, blah, blah, on the star-basis..." Gimme a freakin' break!
Before we get into the selections, a few words about the mish-mosh otherwise known as Week 17. From a handicapping standpoint, this week is harder to figure than the exhibition games. Who will play? How long will they play? How intense? So many questions, so few answers. With that in mind, we suggest that you tread lightly on the card. No one really knows Pittsburgh's mind-set, but we do know Buffalo's. The Bills are on an enormous roll, winning and covering six in a row, while outscoring the opposition, 228-89. That's an average winning margin of 23 points. All that, plus the Buffs actually do have something to play for, a wild card, while the Steelmen will look to get out of town as quick as possible.
RAVENS (-11) over Dolphins
Chances of Baltimore rolling into the playoffs for the fourth time in 5 years are slim, very slim. Winning is not the problem for the Ravens. That's guaranteed. It's counting on losses from Buffalo, Denver and Jacksonville. That will be the problem, not Miami. The Dolphins have been playing very hard for interim head coach Jim Bates, and actually lobbied for him to return as head coach, but as everyone knows, owner Wayne Huzienga decided to give LSU's Nick Saban double-digit millions. So why would the Fish keep swimming hard, now that their guy is cast out to sea? The answer is, they won't. Especially with A.J. Feeley hurt and third-string QB Sage Rosenfels making his first career start.
Vikings (-4) over REDSKINS
Everyone on this Minnesota team remembers what happened at the end of last season. The Vikes were way too nonchalant and wound up losing to the sad-sack Arizona Cardinals, and it cost them a playoff spot. Mike Tice will make sure his Purple People remember, and since Washington will be without Clinton Portis, its only offensive threat, we're chalking up an easy win for the invaders from Minny.
PANTHERS (-7) over Saints
What a ride Carolina has provided. The Panthers have covered seven in a row and are averaging 30 points per game during that stretch. And why this all fits so perfectly is, New Orleans has the worst defense in the NFL, allowing 388.1 yards per game. Carolina beat the Saints in New Orleans on Dec. 5, 32-21, and the Panthers should be able to scratch out another W.
Jets (-3) over RAMS
It's a well-established fact that New York has trouble with the elite teams (like the Patriots and Steelers), but when it comes to the mediocre underbelly of the NFL (like the Texans, Cardinals and Dolphins), the Jets soar, to the tune of 7-0. And since St. Louis has covered only one of the last six and two of the last nine, the smart money is on the New Yorkers.
TEXANS (-10) over Browns
Talk about finishing with a flourish. Houston has won three of the last five, and in the last two, outscored Chicago and Jacksonville, 45-5 combined, both on the road.
BRONCOS (- over Colts
This is fairly simple. Win and you're in. With Indy coming to town and acting more like laid-back geldings than young, frisky Colts, Denver should be able to slide into the playoffs with room to spare.
