two early plays $2200 - 105 Take #198 Baltimore (-6.5) over Cleveland (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 15)
This is my Game of the Month. I really like Baltimore here. The Ravens were blown out in their opener against Denver. But now they are back home. This team was angry about having to play its first game on the road. But now they are in front of the home crowd and the Ravens are one of the best home teams in the NFL. This is the first time that the Super Bowl champions have played in front of their fans since winning the title. It will be an emotional game. Cleveland lost by two scores at home last week. That was a big disappointment for a team after a good preseason. Baltimore is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Most of these wins have been blowouts. The Ravens have also gone 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after giving up over 30 points. They will correct the issues on defense. And now they have a chance to beat up a division rival. Lay the points and look for a big win here.
$500.00 -105 Take #202 Indianapolis (-2.5) over Miami (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 15)
The Colts just know how to win games. They came from behind to beat the Raiders last week and the Colts are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. Indianapolis beat the Dolphins last season here and I think that the Colts are even better now. The Dolphins are playing their second straight road game. They won at Cleveland last week and own and now are back on the road. But Miami is just 1-4 ATS in its last five road games and just 6-15-3 ATS when they play in September. The Colts are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games and I had this number at 4.5. I will put my money behind Andrew Luck and this winning Colts team. They will find a way to get it done again and maybe soon they will get some respect!
