Super Bowl Predictions: New Orleans Saints versus Indianapolis Colts
We went into a bit of mourning after the Championship games. We were scrappy jonesing it in these playoffs at 4-4. Going 2-2 each weekend and then blew it two weeks ago missing out on both games. We hope you saved some money for the Super Bowl because we love the action we are seeing on this game.

New Orleans Saints versus Indianapolis Colts (-4.5 and Over/Under 56.5) - This game is more than just who will win, who will cover and which way you bet on the Over/under. Every knucklehead on earth comes out with crazy stats and predictions. For example, and this was in the Wall Street Journal, when the over/under is less than the halftime band members’ average age, the NFC wins two thirds of the time. Advantage Saints. Then you get the prop bets. The following are actual possible bets for this Sunday’s game:
- What color will the gatorade be for the gatorade coaches dousing? Yellow is the favorite at less than even money with “clear” or water coming in second at 8/5. Orange is posted at 11/2, lime green at 6/1 and we round out the odds with blue and red at 25/2. You can even attempt to predict whether defensive or offensive players will do the pouring.
- Two sports figures that are sure to be there are Archie and Eli Manning. Oddsmakers have given the patriarchal Manning an over/under appearance number of 4 and Eli a total of 3. We heard Archie knows of this prop bet and may watch the game out of the spotlight. Take the UNDER!
- Kim Kardashian, who boasts Saints all-purpose back Reggie Bush as her beau, has been given an appearance total of 2.5. You can even wager on what color top Kim will be wearing at the big game. Black is the favorite at 5/6, white comes in at 53/20 and any other color is 6/5. If you want to get Kim’s sister involved, you can bet who will score more points this weekend, Reggie Bush or Lamar Odom.
- Will a member of The Who smash a guitar on stage during the halftime show? Books assume the band has mellowed in their later years with the answer of “YES” getting +155 odds.
So bet the Super Bowl, bet for fun and see if you can get lucky on any of these crazy prop bets. Why not? This is the last football game you can bet for months. We are really here to inspect this game in detail so you can be more informed. We have our bet in and we will give you our pick at the end of this article.

- Tony Dungy, speaking to The New York Times in Miami, said the Saints won’t be able to do enough to force the Colts into needing a final, last-minute drive to win the Super Bowl. ”I think they’re going to be so far ahead that people are going to say, ‘Oh, ho-hum, he played a good game, they won by two scores, the Colts won their second championship,’ ” Dungy said of Manning on Thursday. “He’s going to have those rings Sunday night. I don’t think it’s going to be close.” Dungy, who led Indianapolis to a Super Bowl XLI victory in 2007, said the Saints’ difficulty in closing out the Vikings in the NFC title game was evidence the Colts will have a convincing upper hand come Sunday.
- Peyton Manning has the edge in his meetings with Saints D-Coordinator Gregg Williams, who has faced Manning seven times (losing five of those meetings) as a coach for four different teams. Williams was defensive coordinator of the Titans when Tennessee beat Manning and the Colts 19-16 in the 1999 divisional playoffs, Manning’s second season.
NFL Divisional Playoff Predictions: The Weekend of the Underdog!
Well we went 2-0 on Saturday and 0-2 on Sunday in predicting the Wild Card games so we ride our two game losing streak into the divisional round. We went back to look at some of the data and found out some surprising results. The Divisional round pits the two best teams against the wild card followers and a lot of the betting experts are quick to point out that the home team wins most of the time. Well we beg to differ. Three of the four road teams in last year’s Divisional round won straight up and all three were 3-point underdogs or greater. Each of those games fell under the posted total with the dogs holding their opponents to 13, 11 and 10 points. Two years ago, both Sunday road team won outright and three years ago two road teams won. Since 2003, the road team has won outright 11 out of 24 times. So this thinking is not rocket science but we are simply mentioning it to make you think. When we dig deeper into the games this weekend and crunch the numbers through our proprietary system, we came to the same conclusion in picking our winners….this is the weekend of the underdog!!!

Arizona at New Orleans (-7) - This is one of the toughest games to call this weekend. The Cardinals got smoked by Green Bay in week 17 then race out to a huge lead in the Wild Card rematch, blow the lead, miss a game winning FG and then win by freak play in overtime. The New Orleans Saints have lost 3 in a row. Some would argue that they had home field wrapped up and therefore let up but the problems started the first week of December. The Saints smoked the Pats to end November and then barely got by Atlanta and Washington. Then they lost to Dallas at home and followed it up by losing to Tampa at home and then Carolina on the road. So there are two things to think about: 1) Will the real Cardinals team please stand up and will they play for 4 quarters 2) Were the Saints tanking it and if so can they come out blazing? The brilliance of betting with a line spread is we do not care who wins. Can the Cardinals win? Sure they can. Can the Saints win by 3 TDs? Sure they can. Here is what we do know. The Cardinals can score on anybody at any time. The Packers had the second rated defense in the league and Warner had more TD passes than incompletions (5 to 4). Just sick numbers. Are you willing to be against him? The Saints have been out rushed in 5 of the last 6 games and the one game they were not out rushed they had 6 more rushing yards than their opponent. Not impressive. The Cardinals actually rushed for 150+ yards against the Packers and their coaching staff knows the value of rushing in the playoffs. They learned the Pittsburgh way… Rush and play defense. And on top of the Pittsburgh way, the Cards have Kurt Warner at QB and are deep in the offensive skill areas. It does not even matter if Boldin plays. We are not sure New Orleans can simply turn the juice back on, come out firing on offense, pressure on defense and impose their will. If we had to pick the team that can do this right now it is Arizona and with that….We are betting Arizona to cover!! The line looks legit. Saints opened at -7 and it has remained pretty flat. Right now 60% of the money is on the Cardinals and we are seeing some line drops out there.
Hey Mr. Brees....I have a ring biatch!!! What do you have?

Baltimore at Indianapolis (-6.5) - This is the one game we have been hemming and hawing about. The Ravens looked straight nasty last weekend against the Pats. Yes their QB was 4-10 for less than 40 yards, 34 to be exact, with one INT but they did not need him to win and that is scary. Ray Rice is on a tear and is earning elite status and a top 5 pick in fantasy football next season. So we have a hot Ravens team and that brings us to the Colts. A lot of times people forget the “loser” label that Peyton Manning used to have before he won the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl gave him the pass. Here are some Peyton facts. Peyton has not won, We repeat has not won a playoff game following a first round bye. Jim Caldwell has tried to mix things up this week practicing first team O versus first team D but is that really enough? time will tell. Also, since the Colts won the Super Bowl, they have won zero playoff games. So how does this positive, hot Ravens team mesh with the “losing” label of the Colts. We need to look at their historical head to head matchups. Baltimore has failed to rush for 100 yards in five straight versus Indianapolis while getting held to 3.3 per carry. Rice has 26 attempts for 94 yards in two meetings. The Ravens have committed 25 turnovers during their seven-game skid in the series and they’ve never won in four trips to Indianapolis, falling 31-3 last season. Manning threw three touchdown passes without an interception while Flacco was picked off three times. Flacco, 15 of 29 for 136 yards over the last two weeks, is bothered by a hip injury that had him limping in practice this week. So when we combine the specific Colts versus Ravens matchup we definitely have to lean one way. We do not think the Ravens are capable of repeating their efforts of last week and a rested Colts team will come out blazing. This line is holding pretty flat at Colts -7 to -6.5. 69% of the money is on the Colts, which might smell trap. Watch to see where the money and line go as we get closer to kickoff. We are betting the Colts to win and cover!

We are going to kick Brett right where it hurts!!!
Dallas at Minnesota (-3) - This will probably be one of the most viewed NFL games ever. Favre in the playoffs versus the Cowboys. Ratings City!!! A lot is being made of the Cowboys right now shaking the December and playoff bug. What is not being mentioned is how good the Cowboys are right now on both side of the ball and in the trenches. Just to recap the Cowboys 4 game winning streak and ATS winning streak….
1/9/2010 - Cowboys beat Eagles 34-14 and out rush the Eagles by 142 yards.
1/3/2010 - Cowboys beat Eagles 24-0 and out rush the Eagles by 142 yards (freaky coincidence - 142).
12/27/2010 - Cowboys beat Redskins 17-0 and out rush the Skins by 65 yards.
12/19/2010 - Cowboys win at New Orleans 24-17 and out rush the Saints by 80 yards.
Seeing a trend here? We are. Playoff football is won by rushing the ball, controlling the line of scrimmage and playing awesome defense. The Cowboys are playing sick defense and doing it without blitzing. D Ware and A Spencer are locked and loaded and destroying O-linemen. The Cowboys are running at will and Romo is playing efficient, mistake free football. Winning playoff combinations. The Vikings have an equally impressive defense but Jared Allen has slowed the last month. Not saying he will not rise up for the Cowboys game but he has not continually dominated and improved game after game like the Cowboys men down the stretch. We also get nervous for Flozell Adams. He becomes “Mr. Jump offsides” when the crowd gets noisy. Also, the Viking’s O-line is not letting A-Pete run wild like he did in the beginning of the season. It has been a loooooong time sine #28 broke 100 yards rushing. This is largely a momentum play, but we are getting points. The head-to-head stats do not support our theory so buyer beware. This line looks pretty legit. The line opened at Vikes -3 and is bouncing back and forth to -2.5 with 55% of the money on the Cowboys. We are betting the Cowboys to cover!
I just fisted you twice Philly!!!! Take that!

Time to retire again, or not, or retire, or not, or retire.
NY Jets at San Diego (-8) - The Jets run game and defense are hot right now. Sanchez played exactly as a rookie QB needs to play in the playoffs and that is playing efficiently and playing not to lose. He was perfect last week and we look for more of the same this week. There is some danger in this game if you are a Chargers fan. The Chargers were not able to run the ball well this season and certainly will not be able to run on the Jets. If the Chargers can not run then they will be pass happy and that puts them in the way of the Jets blitzes and the Jets MVP, Mr. Revis. On the flip side, the Chargers D gave up 4.45 yards per rush and the Jets O rushed for 4.53 yards per carry. Now we are not predicting a Jets victory because we do not have to. We are here to make winning bets and 8 points are too many points for this battle. This line opened at Chargers -9 and is now down to -8 or -7.5 depending on the sports book. We are seeing 63% of the money on the Jets so we know this is a true line. We are betting the Jets to cover in this game!!!

Week 6 Free NFL Picks: We pick winners!!!
Last week kicked ass. Plain and simple. We were 5-0 and are now 17-11 on the season. We hit another knockout pool winner and are still alive in our pools and the underdog strategy survived with a winning week and is now 34-41-1 on the season. Runny even got on board with his own picks and correctly identified the suckitude of the Dallas Cowboys as they failed to cover against the Chiefs. Everyone is back this week and we have tons of winners.
RPJ $yndicate Picks: These are our straight picks and last week we were 5-0 and are now 17-11 on the season. We are happy and we have been on a tear since we went 2-4 during the first weekend of the NFL.
Philadelphia (-13.5) at Oakland - We almost find this unfair. ESPN tried to find out which teams was worst out of the 4 remaining defeated teams. They needed to look no further than the Oakland Raiders who did not make the poll because they pulled off a miracle win against the Chiefs. The Raiders are bad, really bad. Even worse than the Lions last year. These comments by Antonio Pierce sum up the Raiders right now:
“I do not like knocking teams. But right now, they’re struggling. We’re playing that game the other day and, honestly, it felt like a scrimmage, like a practice,” Pierce said. “It felt like we were going against our offense [in a controlled setting] as far as the tempo.”
Pierce, who admitted to growing up a Raiders fan, continued:
“There was no vibe of trying or effort from the Raiders at all from a defensive standpoint against their offense. We’re getting three-and-outs. You don’t hear nobody [saying], ‘Hey, let’s go!’ trying to pick the guys up, rallying them, getting guys fired up. There was nothing. It was quiet. A guy gets sacked or somebody gets beat, they just get up. It’s not like there’s yelling or no kind of [emotion] about the way they were playing.
This really is not fair to actually get to bet against the Raiders ever week. Well Vegas is out to take your money so we are going to take Vegas every week for our hard earned dollar. The Raiders have zero chance of winning this game. Scott Van Pelt, who can not pick worth a shit, actually wanted to take the Raiders this week. That was strike two against the Raiders. Strike three is Jamarcus Russell who is the worst QB of our lifetime and we are no spring chickens. We are not going to waste our time and your time by analyzing this game. We are betting the Eagles to win and cover!
Buffalo at NY Jets (-9.5) - Buffalo is bad but not as bad as the Raiders. We loved watching Rex Ryan’s post game press conferences last week after they choked against the Dolphins and The Gimmick Cat Offense. Rex was embarrassed and pissed off and really fired up. We know he is going to take out his anger on the Bills this week. Buffalo really does not have anything going for it. The Dolphins pounded them. The Browns beat them with a Jamarcus Russell like performance out of their QB. Don’t even get us started on Derek Anderson’s performance last week. Yes the J - E - T - S, Jets Jets Jets have lost two in a row but they lost two in a row on the road. Prior to that they won two at home and we think the friendly confines of the Meadowlands is exactly what this team needs. We are betting the Jets to win and cover!
Buffalo
- Bills are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.
- Bills are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. AFC East.
- Bills are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in October.

- Jets are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game.
- Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.
Baltimore at Minnesota (-3) - We will start by saying this is Colin Cowherd’s upset special of the week. Who has Minnesota really played? Are the wins that impressive? Baltimore on the other hand has easily beaten who they were supposed to beat and lost at New England in a close one and lost last week to the Bungles in another close game. Do you really expect this Baltimore team to lose three in a row. We do not. The Ravens have an enough this year, tons of talent running the ball, Flacco is legit and their Defense is always something to be reckoned with. Minnesota is 5-0 on the season but we are not impressed. This is the type of game the Vikes need to win to demand respect across the league. The Vikes do have A-Pete but he has not been so spectacular the last few weeks and Favre is still looking for that go to wide receiver. We think this is the buzzsaw game. The Vikes are due for a loss and the Ravens absolutely do not want to lose three in a row. We only need a cover here so we love that we are getting points. We are taking the Ravens to cover!

Runny Pelvis Picks of the Week - Runny identified the Chiefs cover against the Cowboys last week and he demanded he get his own column for those games that do not meet RPJ criteria but still meet Runny criteria. Runny is 1-0 on the season and he has two more picks for you this week.
Kansas City at Washington (-6.5) - No analysis this week. Sorry folks. Too busy collecting my money. I am betting the Chiefs to cover!

Week 13 Free NFL Winning Picks 2008: blah blah, lets win money!
The NFL has been kind to us lately. Our records are as follows: RPJ $yndicate is 17-19 on the season, Flash Flash is 10-6 and Runny Pelvis is 17-33-1. We love a bunch of games this Sunday and are coming out swinging. We also have a new favorite hottie. Between Nina Moric and Jakki Degg, this has been one hell of a week. Check out Jakki:
Jakki Degg: Our new favorite hottie!
RPJ $yndicate Pick
Denver at NY Jets (-8.5) - We love betting the hot team and the Jets are one of the hottest. The Jets have four covers in a row and have won 5 games in a row since a bizarre loss to the Oakland Raiders and they sit in first place. New York has scored a franchise-record 115 points in its last three games, as Favre is completing 77.4 percent of his passes for 649 yards, five touchdowns and one interception in those contests. The Jets are getting it done on both sides of the ball though. The Jets are third in the league against the run (78.0 ypg), and haven’t allowed a 100-yard rusher all season. They limited the Titans to 45 yards on 11 carries last week. Somehow, the Broncos are also in first place but are doing it in different fashion with one of the worst defenses in football. The Broncos are 28th in both total defense (390.8 yards per game) and scoring defense (27.5 ppg). Denver was unable to slow down lowly Oakland last Sunday, as the Raiders, who hadn’t scored an offensive touchdown in 15 quarters, handed the Broncos a 31-10 home loss. The ATS numbers:
Broncos
Jets
We think this number might be a little high and we wish the game was scheduled for 1pm but beggars can’t be choosers. The easiest thing to do is betting is to hammer the hot team and the Jets are the hottest team in the AFC. We are taking the Jets to win and cover!
Any other Jakki Degg fans out there?
Flash Flash Picks
NY Giants at Washington (+3.5) - A lot of bettors are betting on the Redskins and the line shows this. This line should be as high as the Jets/Broncs, if not higher. Yes, the Giants are banged up, but if you have not been paying attention this year, the Giants are THE BEST TEAM in the NFL. I want to the Cowboys/Redskins monday night football game two weeks ago and let me tell you one thing…the Redskins have zero offense when Portis is banged up and guess what…Portis is banged up. Portis will play but he is not the same back he was early in the year. And earlier in the year, the Giants held Portis to his second lowest per carry yardage of the season. The Giants just went on the road without Jacobs and Plax and destroyed the Cardinals. That win was impressive as hell. Jacobs might be back but Plax is still out. It just does not matter because the G-Men are the ultimate team and somebody like Boss, Steve Smith or Hixon always steps up. The Giants are 9-2 ATS and are 4-1 ATS on the road and the Redskins are only 2-4 ATS at home. The Giants will probably have a let down or two this year like they did against the Browns but it will not be within the NFC East. Here are the ATS numbers:
Giants
- Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NFC East.
- Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in November.
- Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Giants are 13-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
- Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on field turf.
- Giants are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
- Giants are 23-6 ATS in their last 29 games overall.
- Giants are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 road games.
- Giants are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
- Giants are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games following a S.U. win.
- Giants are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS win.
- Giants are 24-8-1 ATS in their last 33 vs. NFC.
- Giants are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
- Giants are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game.
Redskins
Head-to-Head
That stat that the Skins ore 0-4 ATS in their last 4 at home is significant and I have first hand knowledge. No matter what the Skins fans do, FedEx field is not loud and has no chance of being loud. Literally, Notre Dame’s stadium gets 10 times louder and that is a smaller stadium. Dan Snyder is a money grubbing whore and he destroyed the home field advantage the Skins had at RFX with the montrosity that is FedEx field. I think this game will be just like the first game…Low scoring in the first half, the better team and better coaching staff makes adjustments and comes out firing. And that team is the Giants. I am taking the Giants to win and cover!
The Jakki Degg trifecta
Runny Pelvis Picks
Panthers at Packers (-3): Panthers are playing very bad right now. Delhomme has been inconsistent, and that is putting it nicely. Going to Lambeau at the end of Novemebr is tough for any team. Even more so when they are playing bad. I’m taking the Packers and giving the points.
Pittsburgh at New England (-1): Teams really show their worth during this time of year. In order to be champs, you have to play at a championship level. Part of that is being able to beat good teams n the road. In order to do that, you have to play outstanding D. That is just what the Steelers do. They roll into Foxboro to face a Pats team that is extrememly hot and seemingly in sync. How do you stop a team like that? Hit them in the mouth! That is what the Steelers do best. They will blitz, and blitz and blitz. They will also completely shutdown the Pats running game. Steelers win in a close one. Take the Steelers and the points.
Kansas City at Oakland (-3): I can’t believe I’m even touching this game, but my Raiders are hot right now. They can match wits with the Chiefs at home. I’m taking the Raiders and giving the points.
Chicago at Minnesota (-3.5): Great NFC North match-up. The Bears roll into Minnesota in a fight for 1st place. The Vikings are playing solid D and their running game is taking off. Both teams are sketchy at QB, but I like the Vikings D and running attack. I’m taking the Vikings and giving the points.

2008 Week 11 Free NFL Winning Picks: Sunday Funday!
We lost the Pats/Jets game on Thursday and we sit at 16-15 on the season. Flash Flash is 7-3 and Runny is 14-22-1. We have a bunch of picks for you this week and sticking with our NCAA theme we are coming at you with straight picks and hot chicks.
Pam might be old but she never gets old!
RPJ $ndicate Picks
Denver at Atlanta (-6.5): Denver’s D is terrible and Hotlanta is raising some eyebrows with their play. Who knew Matt Ryan would be this good?!??! We thought he would be a draft bust-nice work on showing us up Ryan. You and your team are rollin’ and could win the South. We are taking the Falcons and giving the points.
Oakland at Miami (-10.5)- Teams are 0-12 when they travel West to East this season and the Raiders are freakin terrible and run by a Vampire.
Al Davis is a Vampire!
The Fins play really well at home and look nothing like the ‘07 team. The Raiders are just a mess. We are taking the Fins and giving the points.
Arizona at Seattle (+3): This is our upset special of the week. The Cards are TERRIBLE on the road. They get their asses handed to them everytime they leave lovely Zona. Playing in Seattle is tough. The Cards will have nothing for the ‘Hawks this week. FACTS: ‘Hawks are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games against the Cards at home. We are taking the ‘Hawks and the points.
Flash Picks
Eagles at Bungles (+9.5): The Bungles just have nothing to offer. The Eagles are desperate for a win to keep any kind of pace in their division. We don’t like the points, but the Eagles should be fine. FACTS: Eagles are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 against the Bungles (I’m going against the numbers). Take the Eagles and give the points.
Baltimore at NY Giants (-7): The Gints are clearly the best team in football right now. The Ravens, although surprising people with how well they have rallied around Flacco, are just not there yet. Going on the road into the Meadowlands is just too much to ask of them to keep this game close. The Ravens will not be able to keep pace with the Gints. I’m taking the Gints and giving the points.
Dallas at Washington (+1): I’m road-tripping for this game so I can see the downfall of the Cowboys firsthand. They are terrible and having Romo back means nothing-they were terrible before he was injured. The Boys are 3-6 ATS on the season and the Skins always have their number. It is a joke that the Skins are getting points in this one. I like the Skins to win and cover!
Runny Picks
Texans @ Colts (-8): The Colts are off an impressive win in Pittsburgh last week. One thing is for sure-they know how to rally. That could be the turning point of their season. However, I like this game more for who is not playing for the Texans-Schaub. Sage cannot do it on the road. FACTS: The Colts are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home against the Texans. I’m taking the Colts and give the points.
Bears @ Packers (-3.5): Bitter rivalry game and I love it!! The Bears go into another week not sure if Grossman will still be their QB. I don’t think it will matter. The Bears D is good enough to keep this game close, and the Packers D is not very good. Even if Grossman gets the nod, the Bears can keep this game within a field goal. I’m taking the Bears and the points.
Saints @ Chiefs (+5.5): The Saints have a terrible D. The Chiefs are playing better, but just not winning. They had a chance last weke to beat the Chargers at home. If they can keep it close against the Chargers D, they can do the same against the Saints. I love the points. Take them and the Chiefs.

Colts at Titans (-4) - Titans are the last remaining ATS unbeaten in the NFL. Yeah they are undefeated as well but we only care about the unbeaten ATS numbers. Also, the Titans have outrushed their opponents by 386 yards this year and get to fave an INDY team that is minus Bob Sanders. Just think back to the Colts Super Bowl run, Bob Sanders is the Colts D and without him they are less than ordinary. The colts have not looked good on the road this year; they were blown out by the Bears and Packers and scrapped by the Vikings and had the miracle 17 point comeback against Houston. The most dangerous thing right now is for the Colts to face a run oriented team and that is what they get at the Titans. Indy gives up 153.7 yards per game on the ground. Remember the key to NFL games is controlling the line of scrimmage and limiting turnovers. On paper, these offenses overall look equal but Tennessee runs for more than twice as much as Indy and on the Defensive side of the ball, Tennesse holds teams to 89.5 yards per game and we already showed you how bad Indy is. Here are the ATS numbers:
Indy
Colts are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Monday games.
Colts are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game.
Colts are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games in October.
Colts are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.
Colts are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
Colts are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 vs. AFC South.
Titans
Titans are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games on grass.
Titans are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. win.
Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.
Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
Titans are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
Titans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.
Titans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. AFC.
Titans are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. AFC South.
Titans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win of more than 14 points.
Titans are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games in Week 8.
Titans are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
Head-to-Head
Colts are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
That last ATS numbers speaks volumes. Colts minus Bob Sanders is bad news in this game. Peyton is always capable of stepping up and exploding at any moment but on the road against one of the best defenses in the league is an unlikely place to see this happen. You will see the Peyton Manning face tonight.
The Titans win and cover!!

2008 WEEK 8 FREE NFL WINNING PICKS and Tig Ole Bitties!!!
RPJ had a winning week last week and just like in NCAA we are sitting around 500. RPJ $yndicate is 10-10 on the season, Runny Pelvis is 13-15-1 on the season and Flash is 5-3. We could have been 3-0 last week but Seattle backdoored us with less than two minutes to go. Flash is still pissed about it and to try and make him feel better we are going to flash a bunch of nice breasts here to take his mind off of it.
Monica Belucci - A Runny favorite!
Why not show one more set of round mounds before the picks.
Katherine Heigl should show more skin!
RPJ $yndicate Picks (10-10 On the Season)
Atlanta at Philadelphia (-9): This is a ton of points to give a hot team. No doubt Matt Ryan was worth Atlanta’s 1st round pick. He pulled a great win out of his hat last game against the Bears at home. The Bears have a solid D, too. Very, very impressive. The key to this game, however, will be the effect of the bye on the Eagles. We think it helps them HUGE-maybe more so than any other team in the league. It gives them added rest, and, most importantly, it gets Westbrook back. That cannot be under stated. Reid is a great coach and he will have the Iggles prepared. They will be riding the wave of the Phillies’ win. FACTS: Iggles are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 at home against the Falcons. Take the Iggles -9.
Washington at Detroit (+7.5):This game is pretty easy to figure-the Lions are TERRIBLE. Way worse than the Fins last year. They will get pummeled in this one. Orlovsky is not a NFL QB. Calvin Johnson excluded, they have no threats on offense (averaging less than 100 yards rushing per game). Their D is suspect (they allowing nearly 5 yards per rush on D). The Skins will grind them down and roll to an easy win. FACTS: Skins are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 against the Lions. Take the Skins -7.5.
Giants @ Pittsburgh (-3):Both teams are outstanding and very evenly matched. That is why we love the Dof in this one. Plus, the Steelers are a mess with the Holmes suspension and their injuries. It will be close. Take the Giants +3.
Flash’s Picks (5-3 On the Season): Nothing this Sunday. Check back with us tomorrow for our Monday Night action.
Runny’s Picks (13-15-1)
Cinncy @ Houston (-9), OVER/UNDER 45:If you read our blog, you will know we have no respect for the Bungles. I think they may be the worse franchise in sports history. Absolutely terrible. But, every Dog has its day. I think the Bungles get it done this week. They will probably lose, but they will make it a game. Fitzpatrick is slowly improving and they may finally have a running game with Cedric Benson. On the Texans side of the ball, their D is TERRIBLE. May be worse than the Bungles’. Again, that may not be enough for thge Bungles to win, but it is enough to keep it close. I’m taking the Bungles and the Points. Also, as noted, the Texans have a terrible D. So do the Bungles. It will be high scoring. Weather will not be a factor. Take the OVER 45.
Chargers @ Saints (+3): The Saints are still their enigma selves-at times they are brilliant, while at others they are terrible. One thing for sure is they have absolutely no D. None. Add that to the facts that two of their players tested positive for juice and their best offensive weapon, Reggie Bush, is out. I don’t give the Saints much of a chance. The Chargers have been called out in the press for not being tough. They will rebound this week. look for a HUGE game from LT. Take the Chargers -3.
Chiefs @ Jets (-14): This is a ton of points, but there are clear reasons for this line. The biggest two are that the Chiefs are forced to ride with their 3rd string QB again and they suspended LJ. Colby Smith cannot get it done for this team on the road. Favre will be looking for redemption for his terrible play last week in Oakland. Take the Jets in a blowout.
RPJ Breast Picture of the Week
As always, good luck with your picks.

NFL WEEK 8 PICKS: Lock ‘Em Up
We are looking for a rebound after a 2-2 Week 7. Our record to date is a pedestrian 15-11-2. No better time than Week 8 to lock ‘em up and get on the right track. That said, here’s who we like:
Colts -7 @ Panthers: Back-to-back road games for the Colts on the short week. The Colts admitted that they don’t know the Panthers too well (last played is 2003). Marvin Harrison is listed as a game time decision. This should translate into a Panthers cover. However, the last time we checked the Colts still had Manning and the Panthers are starting Vinny Testaverde. We love us some Vinny, but not this week. The Panthers are just too banged-up and the Colts just have too many weapons. Take the Colts -7.
Steelers -4 @ Bengals: The Steelers have been terrible ATS on the road. However, they have a great opportunity to right their ship this week in Cinncy against the Bungles. The Bungles are a joke. The Steelers scored a lot of points last week against a solid Broncos D in Mile High. They may score 10,000 against the Bungles. Look for a high scoring game. Take the Steelers -4.
Bills +3 @ Jets: This is our favorite game of the week. The Bills are scrappers. They will make it 2 in a row this week. Take the Bills +3.
Texans @ Chargers -9: This a lot of points to give/get. The Chargers will be playing at home in front of the terrible back drop of the wild fires that have terrorized SoCal. We are with them. It will be a great win for their fans. Take the Chargers -9.
Saints -2.5 @ 49ers: We hate the Saints. They have screwed us this year more than any other team. They are just too good to be this bad. The 49ers still have not shown improvement. As much as we hate to do it, we are rollin’ with the Ain’ts again. Take the Saints -2.5.
There you go-5 locks for the week. Good luck with your picks.
