#1 Ohio State Faces Cincinnati
The Buckeyes (2-0 SU & 2-0 ATS) enter this game against Cincinnati having won nine straight, tied with West Virginia for the second-longest streak in the nation behind TCU's 12 in a row. Ohio State's run includes six wins over ranked teams.
The Buckeyes should be quite familiar with Cincinnati (1-1 SU & 0-1 ATS). Not only will the teams be playing for the third time in five years, there's also plenty of coaching connections between the schools.
Cincinnati hits the road for the first time this season after splitting two home games. The Bearcats beat Eastern Kentucky 31-0 two weeks ago before losing 33-15 to Pittsburgh last Friday.
The Bearcats went 1-5 on the road last season and were outscored 215-107. Cincinnati has lost 14 of its last 17 away from home. This is the Bearcats' second meeting against a top-ranked team. They lost 45-13 to Miami in 1986.
Ohio State has won nine straight over the Bearcats and leads the all-time series 12-2, including a 10-0 record in Columbus. Cincinnati's only wins against the Buckeyes came in 1896 and 1897.
Notable Game Trends
- Bearcats are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games following a ATS loss.
- Bearcats are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. Big Ten.
- Bearcats are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games.
- Bearcats are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

- Buckeyes are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 non-conference games.
- Buckeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games.
- Buckeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite.
Giants vs Eagles NFC East Style
The N.Y. Giants enter Philly coming off a SU & ATS loss to the Colts, but hope to retake the cash on Sunday against the Eagles. The Eagles posted a cover win last week, which may bode well for New York considering the Giants are 7-3-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
Oddsmakers have tagged the Eagles a field goal favorite in this game thanks to home cookin'. But when looking back on last week's performance it's not clear yet if they are deserving of the respect considering they played the Texans, a team most NCAA clubs can beat.
However, there were some encouraging signs for Eagles' investors who endured last year?s 6-10 SU & 5-11 ATS record. The team seems to be rejuvenated compared to last season?s circus type year created by Terrel Owen's ignorance.
In fact, the offense doesn?t look like they'll miss TO the clown at all. QB Donovan McNabb was able to spread the ball around effectively, finding TE L.J. Smith and WRs Reggie Brown and Greg Lewis consistently while manufacturing chemistry with the newly acquired Donte Stallworth.
RBs Brian Westbrook and Corell Buckhalter also got into the act. Combined, they had 25 carries for 121 yards. This is a big improvement over the Eagles? 89.8 ypg posted last year.
Defensively, the Eagles pressured Houston QB David Carr throughout the entire game, while earning 5 sacks along with many ''hurry up'' passes. But again, Eagle backers shouldn?t read too much into this because the Texans have the most dismal offensive line in the NFL.
If your planning on investing in the Eagles you may want to hold off until they play against a worthy team such as the Giants. This game will give bettors a good gauge on how strong Philly really is. Another reason not to play them is because they are 2-6 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. As well, the Eagles are a money-shredding 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. NFC East opponents.
The Giants posted a profitable 10-6-1 ATS mark (11-6 SU) last season, and it's likely New York backers will again make money in this campaign despite last week's cash-dropping loss.
In Week 1's ''Manning Bowl'' Eli was a solid 20-of-34 for 247 yards with TDs passes to Plaxico Burress and Jeremy Shockey. However, he also had two costly second-half mistakes including a fumble and an interception. Both led to Indianapolis scores.
Eli wasn't the only player who made mistakes. Giants defenders dropped two potential first-half interceptions that could have stopped scoring drives. Jay Feely missed a 40-yard field goal and the Giants had a plethora of penalties that slowed or ended drives, including an illegal snap by center Shaun O'Hara with 17 seconds to play that forced officials to take 10 seconds off the clock in their final drive of the game.
This was a big game for New York, add in the fact Eli was competing against older brother Peyton, the pressure was on to say the least. It will never be known if this was the culprit of his errors, but it's hard to think otherwise. However, for other teammates there's no excuse.
Entering Sunday's game against the Eagles the pressure will be off Eli and they've had time to learn from last week's mistakes. Expect a much better played game by the entire Giants' club on Sunday.
For those thinking about investing on the total, it would be wise to stick with last week's trend of the under cashing in a big way. Overall, in Week 1 the under went an incredible 12-3.
Also, under is 7-3 in the Giants last 10 games vs. NFC clubs, and when the Eagles are favored the under is 20-6-2 in their last 28 games as the chalk.
Prediction: Giants 20 Eagles 17
