Game: Weber State @ Montana Grizzlies - Sunday January 20, 2008 4:00 pm
Pick: 3 unit(s) ATS: Weber State +5 (-109) (Play of the Day)
I never shy away from points in a game in which a team can win outright and this game is no different. I took Sac yesterday with succses being a small road favorite and I will take Weber State here. Keep in mind that Montana has revenge from losing last year, but Montana has not been all that potent at home as they are just 1-3 and this team has had a tough time winning ballgames as they have lost 8 of their lat 9 ballgames. Montana comes off a home loss to Idaho State at home who is a top 250 team so kep that in mind so they will be reved up for this game, however, this team has not beat a top 200 team at home and Weber State has been very impressive all year and yes they are 1-5 on the road - but look who they have played - losing on the road to Illinois, BYU, San Fran and New Mexico. This team looks to be turning it around to their credit as they beat Eastern Washington, Portland State and Montana State - a team that is in the top 200 who they defeated on the road. Now, they face a top 250 team on the road catching 5 points. I'll take my shot here with Weber State winning outright - The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 ballgames and the Grizzlies of Montana are just 3-13 ATS at home.

Game: New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers - Sunday January 20, 2008 6:30 pm
Pick: 3 unit(s) TOTAL: Over 41.5 (-110) (Normal)
Typically when the weather is "inclement" many enjoy taking the under believing that it will be tough for other teams to score. However, the Packers have scored essentially 28 to 30 points in 8 of their last 10 ballgames and much was the same case when the Packers played the Seahawks and many thought it would be a lower scoring ballgame. Keep in mind the Giants defense is fare more trustworthy than that of the Seahawks, but regardless, to have a total of 41.5 in a Green Bay is tough to pass up. Brett Favre helped his Pack score 35 points on the road and although I do see that production coming down, I still feel that this team will have their opportunities to score not only because of the Packers and their offense in Green Bay, but also because I think Eli will be prone to turnovers as well. I do feel that Packers are likely to win but the Giants will be competitive in this game as they will not go silent and keep in mind the Giants game totaled 38 at Dallas and that was against a Dallas offense that I believe is not as potent as a Packers team. Inclement weather can also lead to turnovers and better field position, so I will take my chances with the over as I have this game at 48. The over is 4-0 for the Pack at home and the over is 7-0 when they are a favorite by this margin
