Special Situation Play -- [10-5 ytd]

[thesandman1]

My last Special Situation Play was an NBA play last Friday when Milwaukee won by 18 as a 4.5 point favorite. Today's play is an NFL play with two situations, which alone happen quite often but together make for a special play.

We have Arizona playing at Philly. That means Arizona had to fly across country West to East. Also, the game time temp at Philly is forecast to be 41 degrees, dropping slightly during the game to 39. That makes Arizona a warm weather team playing in 40 degree weather.

One more reason to play Philly is because Arizona is not as good as their record. They are 7-4, but only two wins were against teams (Dallas, Buffalo) with a winning record and they beat a Dallas team without Romo. Two wins over the 49ers, and wins over Miami, Seattle and St. Louis, don't make Arizona a top team. Sure Philly has been playing bad, but McNabb and Westbrook are back starting and I look for Philly to easily cover the small number.

One last reason, that we are all seeing today and have seen in the past, is home teams seem to win and cover on holidays. Two nice situations with other reasons

MAKE PHILLY -3 THE PLAY TONIGHT

Well, good then, cause it's not on primetime tv, the Texas game is. The NFL game is on NFL NETWORK. Go Eagles...

Romo played the whole game against the Cardinals.

Philly wins and covers

Maggiore. My mistake. I still sometimes mix up St. Louis and Arizona. However, it wasn't a major factor in my selection, my main point being Arizona only beat two teams with a winning record.

Also, anyone can tell Woody Page, Philly won and covered a game in prime time tonight and my plays are now 11-5.
