Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 8* (Regular Play) on San Diego at Miami @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Miami Dolphins host the San Diego Chargers Sunday. ?The Bulldog? breaks down his selection on San Diego with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Chargers cross the country for this early kickoff on the heels of back-to-back losses. However, while many see this as a tough spot for the Bolts, San Diego is motivated to snap this mini skid and go into a much-needed bye week on a positive. 2. San Diego returns RB Donald Brown in Week 9, which isn?t making much of a blip on the radar. But this is a huge plus for the Chargers, who have been operating with a makeshift rushing game the past few weeks. Having Brown back takes some of the pressure off QB Philip Rivers, who has been an early MVP candidate. The defense won?t be able to drop back in coverage with the threat of the run back in the Bolts game plan. 3. Miami is bound for a letdown after two wins over struggling offenses. The Dolphins took road wins from Jacksonville and Chicago, giving up a total of just 27 points in those two games. San Diego, which ranks 10th in scoring (25.6 ppg) and boasts the eighth-best pass game (267.5 ypg) is a major step up in competition for Miami. The Dolphins have allowed an average of 30 points in their three losses this season.

Take: Philadelphia Eagles 0-120 in 1h
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 8* (Regular Play) on Philadelphia at Houston @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Houston Texans host the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday. ?The Bulldog? breaks down his selection on Philadelphia with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. Houston may be able to pull off a couple of impressive defensive touchdowns here and there, but this team doesn?t have the firepower to hang with Philadelphia. If the Eagles get ahead, the gap will be too larger for Houston to overcome with Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB and the offense being forced to abandon the run. 2. Philadelphia?s defense has shown up in recent weeks, especially against the run. The Eagles struggled to contain opposing rushers to start the year but have given up an average of just 94 yards on the ground in their last three, including putting the breaks on Arizona?s ground game last week. Philadelphia?s speed on defense will be able to quickly close up any gaps, and limit the amount of daylight Arian Foster sees. 3. Houston has been terrible against the pass this season and run into a budding passing combo in Eagles QB Nick Foles and WR Jeremy Maclin. Maclin reeled in 12 balls for 187 yards receiving and two touchdowns against Arizona last week and has found the end zone six times this season.
Play on Philadelphia as an 8* Regular Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on OVER in Seattle vs. Oakland @ 4:25 p.m. ET
The Seattle Seahawks host the Oakland Raiders Sunday. ?The Bulldog? breaks down his selection on OVER in Seattle with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Seahawks haven?t been the same over the past three games, losing twice and barely scratching out a win at Carolina last week. Seattle returns home looking to right the ship, and will want to put on a good show for the 12th Man at CenturyLink Field. 2. The Seahawks offense has sputtered during that three-game span, especially the rushing attack. Seattle managed 119 yards versus Carolina last week ? well below its season average of 148.4. The Raiders won?t put up much of a fight, allowing 130.1 yards rushing an outing. 3. Oakland may seem completely outgunned in this matchup, but Seattle?s stop unit is not the same on that rolled to a Super Bowl victory last season. The Seahawks defense is allowing 350.3 yards per game and goes up against an Oakland team that has had success passing the ball behind rookie QB Derek Carr, who has five touchdowns and only one interception in his last three games. Carr has gone up against some of the top corners in the game and hasn?t backed down. Over bettors will only need a couple scores from Oakland to blow this total out of the water.
Play on OVER in Seattle as a 10* Top Selection Sunday.

Take: Pittsburgh Steelers +2-110 in 9h
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore @ 8:30 p.m. ET
The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. ?The Bulldog? breaks down his selection on Pittsburgh with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Steelers come into this Sunday Night Football rivalry matchup fueled by revenge. Pittsburgh took one of the chin from Baltimore in Week 2, losing 26-6. The Black and Yellow look to return the favor in Week 9. 2. Pittsburgh is playing some of the best football in the league right now. The Steelers handled the Texans on Monday Night Football two weeks ago and erupted for 55 points in a blowout win against the Colts last Sunday. Pittsburgh is 4-2 SU and ATS in its last six games but is still not getting the respect it deserves from the oddsmakers and presents great value inside Heinz Field Sunday night. 3. Baltimore?s secondary is without corner Jimmy Smith Sunday night and goes up against Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, who has thrown for 787 yards and eight touchdowns the last two games. Antonio Brown will command the attention of Lardarius Webb, which leaves some mismatches in the passing game. Pittsburgh will spread the ball around, hitting up RB Le'Veon Bell and TE Heath Miller for key gains, and will keep the Ravens defense guessing.
Play on Pittsburgh as a 10* Top Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Monday 10* (Top Play) on UNDER at NY Giants vs. Indianapolis @ 8:30 p.m. ET
The New York Giants host the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. ?The Bulldog? breaks down his selection on Under in NY Giants with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Giants? best plan of attack is to slow down the Colts high-scoring attack by keeping Andrew Luck and his talented group of receivers off the field. New York has the offense to do it, and will go with a run-heavy attack and the short, quick-hit passes on their new West Coast offense. That will eat up the clock and limit the amount of damage Indianapolis can do. 2. The Colts were embarrassed on defense by the Steelers last week, giving up 55 points on 639 total yards. Indianapolis is tightening the bolts on this stop unit and has focused on improving the stop unit this week. Expect a stout effort from the Colts defenders Monday night. 3. The Giants are back home for the first time in four weeks, playing back-to-back road games before enjoying a bye in Week 8. New York?s defense has played well inside MetLife Stadium, allowing just 17 and 20 points in its last two home stands ? wins over Houston and Atlanta respectively. The G-Men welcome another indoor team to East Rutherford, where the temperatures will dip into the 40s. The Colts haven?t had the best success in outdoor venues, putting up only 24 points in Denver, and managing 34 points ? 14 of those in garbage time ? at Pittsburgh last week.
Play on UNDER at NY Giants as a 10* Top Selection Monday.
Good luck, Scott.
