Matchup: Baltimore at Cincinnati
Time: 1:00 PM EDT (Sun)
Play: Over (35.0 -110)
Posted on: November 28, 2008 @ 3:00:15 AM EST
The 'over' is 5-0-1 in Baltimore's last six games. The 'over' is 4-1-1 for the Ravens in their six home games. Cincy moved the ball fairly well against Pittsburgh last week, but only came up with 10 points. Getting Chad Johnson back into the lineup after serving a one-game suspension should give the offense a lift. Low total here so it's not like we need to see a shoot-out. If the weather.com forecast on Thursday proves accurate, we should be ok on weather. It'll be cold and might snow later in the game, but little wind is expected and that's the only thing I worry about weather-wise when it comes to backing an 'over.'

Green Bay has won its last two home games in blowout fashion over the Bears (37-3) and Colts (34-14). I don't know that the Pack are going to run away and hide from the Panthers early and often, but I'm confident they'll cover this short number at Lambeau Field. The Panthers have lost three straight road games as underdogs, including last week's 45-28 pounding from the Falcons in Atlanta. Carolina QB Jake Delhomme struggling all of a sudden and I could see Charles Woodson getting a pick this week. Give me Green Bay.
Matchup: Atlanta at San Diego
Time: 4:05 PM EDT (Sun)
Play: Atlanta (+5 -110)

San Diego has won by more than five points just three times in 11 games this season. The Chargers haven't won by more than one point in five consecutive outings. The Falcons, meanwhile, have been beaten by more than four points just once in their last seven games. They dealt out woodshed treatment to Oakland in their last trip to the West coast. Matt Ryan continues to steadily improve and there's no reason to think he's not poised for another big outing here. Remember, he has 220 passing yards or more in six straight games. Atlanta RB Michael Turner, fresh off a four-TD performance against Carolina last week, will be hyped to play well against his former team. I think the Falcons, who are 7-4, have a great shot to win outright against the Chargers, who are 4-7. Therefore, I'll gladly take the points and the underdog in this matchup.

Matchup: San Fran. at Buffalo
Time: 1:00 PM EDT (Sun)
Play: Over (42.0 -110)
Posted on: November 28, 2008 @ 3:09:09 AM EST
The 'over' is on a 6-1-1 run in San Francisco's last eight games. The 49ers have seen the 'over' go 3-1-1 in their road games, while Buffalo has also seen the 'over' go 3-1-1 in its home outings. San Francisco's defense has given up at least 29 points in seven of its last eight games. Buffalo has seen the 'over' cash in back-to-back games thanks to scoring ouputs of 54 and 27 by the Bills alone.
