TEN ML +163 (1unit): The thing that gives me pause in jumping on the Manning bandwagon is the public pounding of the Colts and the line only moving half a point from opening. Everybody and his mother's brother is taking Peyton and the Colts. At -3?, you'd think with the Titans tanked for the season and the Colts in a bounce-back situation after 3 straight losses behind a living legend QB the line would be at least 7. But with Peyton flat lately and the Colts not able to run or stop the run (ranked 32nd in running and 31st in stopping the run-YPA speaking), i'll probably look to laying a little on the Titans ML +160, but that's just me.

STL +9.5 (4units): While i do like the Panthers to cover vs Falcons, i like this play alot better. I'm playing Sean Peyton's trend vs double digit dogs, well 9.5 is as close to a double d as you can get (3-9 ATS). Myline has the Rams winning SU by at least 5 pts. The OVER may be the better play. Score: Rams 28-Saints 21

CAR +7.5 (3units): the Panthers lost to division opponents by 15 and 31 (Buccaneers and Saints), so how do they expect to cover 7.5 against Matt Ryan and the Falcons? Even though its a divisional game and the public is pounding Atlanta by the tune of 95% plus, the obvious choice is Atlanta right? Consider this, the Saints have won 7 of their 9 wins by less than 7 points, i'm just sayin... Im bettin ATLANTA plays enough to win, but not cover. Score: Falcons 18-Panthers 12
