NFL 25* Sunday Playoff Knockout! *3-1, 75%!
I'm laying the points with the Cowboys on Sunday . the Giants' coaching staff, especially the much maligned Tom Coughlin,a ton of credit for making outstanding in-game adjustments last week. The Giants trailed Tampa Bay and had a total of minus-2 yards through the first quarter. And, while the network fell in love with Tampa DC Monte Kiffin, Coughlin and company designed an underneath passing attack that shook the Buccs down. Don't expect the same results this week. First of all, before that win, the Giants had played six straight road games against non-playoff teams with a combined 34-62 record. Eli Manning was just 48-95, or 50.5% passing in those games, averaging just 146 yards per game with two TDs and four interceptions. They were off to another bad offensive start until the adjustment last week. The Giants are missing key components on the both sides of the ball and I expect Dallas to take full advantage. Tony Romo, along with Brett Favre really did a number on this sack-happy defense, because they get rid of the ball quickly. NYG had no shot against the Cowboy offense in their first two meetings this season and I don't believe much will change here. I'm laying the points with the Cowboys as they win by two touchdowns. The Cowboys are my Sunday NFL Knockout. Thanks! GL! Scott.
Scott Spreitzer's Sunday CBB Knockout Blowout! *69-28, 71% Run!
I'm laying the points with Rhode Island on Sunday . Duquesne has been a great story since the program changed to an uptempo offense. But they haven't done real well against quality opposition, outside of a tight game against Pittsburgh earlier this season. In fact, the Dukes are 1-4 ATS against teams with a winning record. They're also 0-2 as a dog this season, losing by an average score of 86-68. A step up in competition usually puts a kink in their ability to fly up-and-down the court successfully. By the way, while Duquesne likes to push the tempo, they're kind of like a schoolyard bully, if you will. The Dukes own great numbers against lesser competition, but when they face teams that score a lot of points also, they're no longer a healthy investment. The Dukes are just 1-3 ATS when facing teams that score over 76 PPG. Today, they make a rare step up in level of competition. Rhode Island is a quality team that's off a tough road loss at Dayton. The Rams return home where they're perfect both SU and ATS. In fact, URI is one of those quality high-scoring teams that gives the Dukes fits. URI is scoring an average of 87 PPG at home this season, while holding the opposition to just 66 PPG. They're also on an 11-0 SU, 8-2 ATS run when laying points, with an average final score of 83-67! URI crushed Duquesne by a score of 111-87 last February. I expect another big win and cover on Sunday. Rhode Island is my CBB Knockout. Thanks! GL! Scott.
