Scott Spreitzer's NFL Sunday Night Dynamite! **Won GOY w/Seattle!**
I'm laying the number with the Steelers. New Steeler HC Mike Tomlin wants to see the first team offense produce and wants to see it done now, accoring to published reports. One of the ways to keep the first & second stringers on their toes is by telling his offensive line that starting spots are up for grabs and will be heavily influenced on this game's performance. Pittsburgh has been sluggish on the offensive end so far, but I expect a bust-out performance with the starters on the field into the third quarter. Philly's defense is young and short on experience and will struggle against the Steeler's top unit in my opinion. Look for Pittsburgh to finally drop the clutch. We'll lay it with the Steelers on Sunday. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Ben Burns
Game: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Game Time: 8/26/2007 8:00:00 PM Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers Reason: I'm laying the points with the PITTSBURGH STEELERS. I feel that Tomlin and the Steelers have more to prove than do Reid and the Eagles. For starters, Tomlin is a new coach under the microscope while Reid is a veteran with about as much job security as any coach in the NFC. I also feel that the Steelers are in a better "state of mind" than the Eagles. Recent comments from the two teams support this statement. Tomlin was quoted as saying: "Things are a little different this week. We've broken camp, we've got a simulated game week here where we are game-planning for an opponent to a degree." On the other hand, the Eagles are still trying to adjust to the sudden and surprise release of their longtime defensive star, Jeremiah Trotter. Many of the Eagles' players weren't pleased with the decision and are still scratching their heads. Westbrook and others commented publicly that he was still playing at a high level while McNabb went so far as to say: "...this will probably take days for us to get over, days or weeks." Regardless of the team's mindset, the Eagles have never fared well on the road in the preseason under Reid. They lost this season's previous road game by a score of 29-3 and are a poor 6-22 SU their past 28 preseason road games overall. That includes a 2-9 SU (3-6-2 ATS) mark as road underdogs of three points or less. During the same stretch, the Steelers are a solid 5-3 SU/ATS as home favorites of three points or less. The home team has won and covered in this preseason series the last two seasons. Last year, the Eagles won 16-7 at Phiadelphia. However, the previous season, the Steelers won 38-31 here at Pittsburgh. I'm expecting another win and cover for the home team this evening. *Sunday Night Game of the Month

Ben Burns NL Central Game of the Month

Houston Astros

Game: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros Game Time: 8/26/2007 2:05:00 PM Prediction: Houston Astros Reason: I'm laying the price with Houston. The Astros lost the first two games of this series but I expect them to bounce back in a big way this afternoon. Despite a sub-par outing in his last start here, Rodriguez remains 6-3 (Astros are 9-4) with an an outstanding 2.28 ERA and 1.000 WHIP in 13 home starts this season. Meanwnhile, his opponent Tony Armas is 1-3 (team is 1-4) with an awful 11.05 and 2.182 WHIP in five road starts. Most recently, Armas gave up seven runs in just 4 1/3 innings and in his previous start he lasted only 2 2/3 innings, allowing five runs. While opposing hitters are batting a mere .205 against Rodriguez at Houston, opposing hitters are batting a whopping .331 vs. Armas on the road. The Pirates have always struggled as road underdogs of this size. This season, they are 8-16 (-4.6) as road underdogs in the +125 to +150 range. Looking back further and we find them at 23-42 (-9.5) in that role the past three seasons. Looking back still further and we find the Pirates at 98-163 (-26.1) in that role the past decade. Look for Rodriguez to outpitch Armas as the Astros bounce back and avoid the sweep. *NL Central Game of the Monthning. *Sunday Night Game of the Month

Ben Burns' Afternoon "TOTAL" Annihilator

UNDER cleveland/kc

Game: Cleveland Indians vs. Kansas City Royals Game Time: 8/26/2007 2:10:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on the Royals and Indians to finish UNDER the total. Yesterday's game was high-scoring. However, I'm expecting a "pitchers duel" this afternoon. Meche has been better in the afternoon than he has during the evening, as opposing hitters are batting .227 in the day instead of .282 during the night. Meche has allowed two earned runs in each of his last three starts (3.18 ERA), averaging just slightly less than six innings. All three of those games finished UNDER the total and the UNDER is a profitable 9-4 in his 13 home starts. Carmona has also seen each of his last three starts fall below the total, posting a stellar 2.74 ERA and a miniscule 0.783 WHIP, most recently a 2-1 loss at Detroit. That brought the UNDER to 7-3-2 in his 12 road starts and 15-8-2 overall. Note that in his last two starts he has allowed only seven hits in 16 innings while recording 15 K's to just two walks. Carmona has also pitched well vs. the Royals, going 2-0 while recording a 2.70 ERA in three starts, two of which fell below the total. Additionally, Carmona is 8-1 with a superb 1.91 ERA in 10 daytime starts. The Indians have seen the UNDER go 14-3-2 on Sundays this season and 45-22-5 the past three seasons. Look for those numbers to improve this afternoon as the combined score of this well pitched affair stays beneath the number.

BIG AL'S 100% ATS MONDAY NIGHT GAME OF THE YEAR -- Monday
At 8 pm, on Monday, our Preseason Monday Night Football Game of the Year is on the Cincy Bengals minus the points over Atlanta. Last week, Marvin Lewis' squad fell to 0-2 with a 27-19 loss at home to the Saints, while Atlanta moved to 1-1 with an upset on the road, 13-10, over Buffalo. This will be a great spot for Cincinnati, as 0-2 teams off a loss as a favorite are a perfect 9-0 ATS since 1983 in the preseason on the road, if they're matched up against a home team off an upset win. Take Cincy. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Houston Astros (-148)
Sun Aug 26 '07 2:05p

The Pirates enter into this game having taken the first two games in this series, against what is now a desperate Houston team that does not want to swept at home. With that said look for the Houstons starting hurler Wandy Rodriguez , to get the job done today , in a place (Minute Maid Park) where he has excelled going 6-3 along with a stingy 2.28 ERA in 13 starts. Also look for the Astros bats to unload on the Pirates inconsistent thrower Tony Armas , who in 5 road starts has a ugly looking 11.05 ERA. Everything points to a Houston win in this spot

Philadelphia (1-1 SU and ATS) at Pittsburgh (2-1, 1-2 ATS)

After a sensational performance last week against Carolina, Donovan McNabb will test his surgically repaired knee once again tonight as he leads the Eagles against the Steelers in this annual preseason clash of instate rivals.
In his first live action since suffering a torn ACL in the middle of last season, McNabb looked in midseason form against the Panthers, completing 6 of 9 passes for 138 yards while guiding a pair of scoring drives in his four possessions. Philadelphia took a 24-3 halftime lead and cruised from there, winning 27-10 as a three-point home favorite. That came on the heels of an ugly 29-3 loss at Baltimore in Week 1.
Pittsburgh traveled to Washington last week and escaped with a 12-10 victory, but came up just short as a 2½-point road chalk. A week after managing just one touchdown in a 13-9 home loss to the Packers, the Steelers had to settle for four field goals in winning their second game for new coach Mike Tomlin.
Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger, who was on the field for just three series in the team’s first two exhibition contests, played the entire first half against Washington, and went 8 of 12 for 87 yards. The Steelers had 288 total yards, while the defense – which has given up 7, 13 and 10 points in three games – held Washington to 226 yards.
Roethlisberger, who is 12-for-17, 174 yards overall in the preseason, is again slated to play the entire first half this week and even begin the third quarter, along with the rest of the starters. Backup QB Charlie Batch figures to be first off the bench and may play the remainder of the game, leaving Brain St. Pierre and Bryan Randall on the sidelines.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said his first-team offense and defense, including McNabb, will play the entire first half and possibly into the third quarter. A.J. Feeley will relieve McNabb, with rookie Kevin Kolb possibly finishing up.
The Eagles haven’t had a winning preseason since 2001, and they’re 3-8 in their last 12 August road games (4-7 ATS).
Including the loss to Green Bay in Week 2, Pittsburgh has dropped three straight exhibition home games (1-2 ATS) and is 4-7 ATS at home in August since 2002.
The Eagles won last year’s summer meeting 16-7 as a three-point home favorite.
The Steelers have stayed under the total in seven straight preseason games, with all three this year never threatening the posted number. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has barely topped the total in its two contests this month. Also, the over is 3-1 in the last four exhibition battles between these squads.

ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER

Seattle (-150) at TEXAS

Tonight we like the hitter's to have their way when Jarrod Washburn and Vincente Padilla toe the rubber. Look for a good old-fashioned slugfest in Arlington this evening, and an OVER between Seattle and Texas.
Both Friday and Saturday's games stayed UNDER the total, but prior to this weekend, Seattle had played 6 straight OVERS, while Texas had been involved in 3 straight OVERS including that wild doubleheader in Baltimore.
In 3 starts against the Rangers this year, Washburn has allowed 10 runs in just 14 innings of work, while Padilla has allowed 11 runs in 9 innings of work against the M's.
These pitchers will not be fooling the hitters tonight, and both will be out of this game before too long.
After a pair of UNDERS, wacth as the scoreboard lights up like a christmas tree tonight in Texas.

Play the OVER.

Oakland (-155) at TAMPA BAY

Forget about Tampa Bay's fluke lopsided victories over the A's in the last couple of nights. The Devil Rays are still big losers at home, against right-handed pitching, and with Andy Sonnanstine on the mound. With all three of these factors coming into play in today's contest with the Oakland A's, I'm siding with the visitors in this one. Sonnanstine is a lousy 2-9 on the season and the Devil Rays are 2-11 in his last 13 starts.
This match-up with the AL ERA leader Dan Haren for Oakland is going to be the end of Tampa Bay's strange offensive burst. Haren is an impressive 14-4 on the season with an ERA of 2.66. He also has a winning 4-1 career record vs. the Devil Rays. The A's are 6-1 in Haren's last seven road starts vs. a less than .500 team, and 5-0 in his last five starts vs. the Devil Rays. Side with the visiting Oakland A's in this one.

Cannon shows his record yesterday as 1-3. Michael Cannon is counting the Ravens game as a loss, but in Nevada we got our money back. He is also counting the Arizona game a loss although many of us covered with +3 or +2 1/2 or push with +2. His record yesterday for me was 2-1.

Sunday's Plays:

20 Dime –

NEW YORK METS -1 ½ RUN LINE (With Wells and Maine as listed pitchers)
Take the Mets on the run line tonight at home over the Dodgers.
David Wells makes his Dodgers debut tonight, and the Mets should have a field day against the 44-year-old left-hander.
Despite the motivation Wells feels after being cut by the Padres, it won’t matter much tonight against a potent Mets lineup. Wells was 0-3 with a 14.33 ERA in his last four outings with San Diego, and hasn’t started since August 6, when he was tagged for seven runs and 11 hits over four innings of a 10-5 loss in St. Louis.
Wells is washed up, to put it mildly, and no amount of determination is going to get him through tonight’s game.
The Mets will counter with John Maine, and I expect the right-hander to receive the necessary run support to get the win by at least two runs tonight.
New York is playing well right now, having won nine of its last 12 to open up a seven-game division lead over the Phillies and Braves.
Take the Mets on the run line as they pound Wells tonight and grab the win.


5 Dime –

DIAMONDBACKS (With Marquis and Petit as listed pitchers)
Take the Diamondbacks as a small home dog today over the Cubs.
At first glance this would appear to be a strong bet for Cubs backers, but I’m not convinced they can get it done against the D-Backs in the desert.
Jason Marquis will start for the Cubs and he’s pitched well, but he has been the victim of poor run support.
I expect that trend to continue today against Arizona.
The Diamondbacks will start Yusmeiro Petit, and the right-hander has been knocked around in his last three outings but that won’t deter me from siding with him today.
That’s because he pitched his best game of the year at Chicago on July 22. In that game Petit pitched six scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and striking out five and walking none in the Diamondbacks 3-0 win.
Take the Diamondbacks for the home win today over the Cubs.

STEELERS
Lay the points with the Steelers tonight when they host the Eagles.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin revealed that they treated this last week of practice like they were preparing for a regular season game, including game-planning for the Eagles, something that is unheard of in exhibition play.
The reason for that was to get his players acclimated to what their weeks will be like once the regular season begins.
I believe that will give the Steelers a huge advantage tonight.
The way their defense has played so far this preseason, it should spell trouble for Donovan McNabb and the Eagles.
Pittsburgh has allowed just 30 points in three preseason games, and that was with a vanilla look. With some game planning under their belts, look for the Steelers to come out even better tonight.
Philadelphia is just 3-8 SU in its last 12 preseason road games (4-7 ATS).
Lay the points with the Steelers as they grab the home win and cover.

Eagles vs. Steelers 8:00p.m. est NBC

Steeler new Head Coach Mike Tomlin lost his last home game at Heinz Field to the Packers and he has a great opportunity to change that in this game. The Eagles Andy Reid has never put much emphasis on the preseason as evidenced by his career record of 12-22. Another episode by his son with another DUI this week surely doesn't have his focus on his job. Week three has always been sort of an off week for the Eagles on their preseason schedule as they are only 1-6 in the last seven tries.
