Cleveland 30
For weeks the Dawg Pound in Cleveland (3-6 SU, 5-4 ATS) barked “Brady! Brady!” for Quinn and coach Romeo Crennel responded by putting the former Notre Dame star under center in his first pro start against Denver (5-4 SU, 2-6-1 ATS) last Thursday. Quinn led the Browns to a first-half 20-10 lead and it appeared a star was being born in Cleveland. But Broncos' Jay Cutler said not so fast, as he rallied his team to a 34-30 win, passing for a career-high 447 yards and three touchdown passes in the final 15 minutes to spoil the debut of Quinn, who finished 23-of-35 for 239 yards with two TD passes to Kellen Winslow. Despite failing to cover, the Browns are still a solid 9-3 ATS in their last twelve home games. Denver's cover win ended a six-game ATS money-shredding skid, though, they remain NFL's third costliest club.
Chicago 14
Kerry Collins threw for a season-high 289 yards and two touchdowns to keep the Titans (9-0 SU, 8-1 ATS) perfect, having failed to cover the just once this season. Collins completed 12 straight passes at one point and was 30-of-41 without an interception. Their 12 straight regular-season wins eclipses the previous mark set by Houston in 1993. Heading into their game against Chicago (5-4 SU, 4-4-1 ATS), the Titans were 0-4 ATS in their last four games in November. Bears' backers didn't cash in this one but their team's 7-4-1 ATS record manufactured during the last 12 games overall is far from shameful.
Detroit 14
Jacksonville (5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) snapped a two-game SU and ATS losing streak, having no problems keeping Detroit (0-9 SU, 3-6 ATS) winless and dropping them to 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Maurice Jones-Drew ran for a career-high three touchdowns and David Garrard threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns. The Lions are off to their worst start since losing their first 12 games in 2001 and they have what it takes to be the NFL’s first 0-16 team. Daunte Culpepper made his Detroit debut and it lasted just three quarters. He was 5-of-10 for 104 yards with an interception.
Houston 13
The Ravens (6-3 SU, 7-2 ATS) move to 8-2 ATS in their last ten games versus AFC opponents, meanwhile, the Texans (3-6 SU, 2-7 ATS) fall to 5-12 ATS in their last 17 in the same conference. Baltimore has scored at least 27 points in a team-record four consecutive games, winning each SU and ATS. Sunday was the first time they’ve scored more than 40 points on the road since 1999. Joe Flacco was 15-of-23 for 185 yards and threw touchdowns and Ray Lewis had a pair of interceptions.
New England 20
The virtual unknown New England (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for a career-high 105 yards and scored a touchdown for the fourth straight game and the Patriot’s defense did its part in a cover win over the stumbling Buffalo Bills (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS). The Patriots moved a game ahead of the Bills, who are 1-4 SU and ATS since winning their first four games, and pulled into a first-place AFC East tie with the Jets. New England improved to 2-8 ATS in their last ten home games and to 4-7 ATS versus the AFC. But for those already thinking Pats-Jets on Thursday, don't be fooled by New England's conference ATS mark, because they are a stout 36-17-1 ATS in the previous 54 AFC East games.
Atlanta 34
The Atlanta Falcons (6-3 SU, 6-3 ATS) improved to 8-3 ATS in their last eleven games overall with its cover win over the New Orleans Saints (4-5 SU, 5-4 ATS). Atlanta rookie Matt Ryan had another strong game helping his team win for the fourth time in five games SU and ATS to keep the birds squarely in the play picture. Ryan finished 16-of-23 with 248 yards and two touchdown passes. Meanwhile, Drew Brees threw a season-high three interceptions en route to dropping the Saints to 2-6 ATS in their last eight NFC matchups.
Miami 21
If anyone hasn't noticed, the Tuna has turned a one win team of last year into a contending club. Miami (5-4 SU, 5-4 ATS) has caught the Bills and are one game out of first place in the tight AFC East, while covering the number in six of its last seven games. The Dolphins have won three games and are above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2005 season. The Seahawks (2-7 SU, 4-5 ATS) struggles continue and they've fallen to 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games played away from home.
Minnesota 28
Adrian Peterson rushed for 192 yards and reached the pigskin across the goal line with 2:22 left to in the game to end the Minnesota Vikings' five-game losing streak to the Green Bay Packers (4-5 SU, 6-3 ATS). With the win, Minnesota (5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) finds itself in a first-place tie with Chicago, meanwhile,
Green Bay falls one game back in the NFC North. It was a big win for the Vikings, but failing to cover against the Packers makes them 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Green Bay is now a strong 20-7-1 ATS in its last 28 overall and 13-3-1 ATS on the road.
Jets 47
The New York Jets (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) routed the lowly St. Louis Rams (2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS) to place them in a first-place tie with New England. The Rams covered the previous four games versus the Jets but Brett Favre and company said no more, while moving to 5-1 ATS in their last six November outings. NFL betting fans at the Meadowlands watched Thomas Jones run for three touchdowns, Jay Feely kick four field goals, including a franchise record-tying 55-yarder, and the Jets convert five turnovers into 27 points. The Jets have won three straight and five of six, covering in four during the span. Favre posted 167 yards and a TD before calling it a day, as he watched the biggest rout in franchise history from the sideline. Their previous largest win was 45-3 over Houston in 1988.
Oakland 6
Carolina (7-2 SU, 5-3-1 ATS) Panthers' Jake Delhomme threw a touchdown pass on the opening drive but completed only six other passes while throwing four interceptions in the win over the Oakland Raiders (2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS). A stagnant quarterback outing like that most often leads to a loss, but not when facing a team as bad as Oakland, who are now 29-60-1 ATS in their last 90 overall games. Oakland has just nine touchdowns on the season and none in its past 135:36 of game action. The Panthers are now 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 overall and leaders of the NFC South.
Pittsburgh 20
In a virtual must win game for the Indianapolis Colts (5-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) to keep its postseason hopes alive, they delivered with a victory over the AFC North-lead Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS). The Colts had lost their previous 12 visits to Pittsburgh counting the playoffs, but Peyton Manning ended the skid with a great showing while being on the fringe of the wild-card race. Manning finished 21-of-40 with 240 yards and three touchdown passes. The cover moved the Colts to 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and ended a five-game ATS slide versus .500 plus clubs. Meanwhile, the Steelers' money-making woes in November continue as they drop to 3-8-1 ATS during the month's prior 12 outings.
San Diego 20
Despite owning just one victory on the season, the Kansas Chiefs (1-8 SU, 5-4 ATS) are now 9-3 ATS in their last 11 road games, as they narrowly pulled of a double-digit dog upset over the San Diego Chargers (4-5 SU, 3-5-1 ATS). San Diego's strong safety Clinton Hart knocked down Tyler Thigpen’s 2-point conversion pass intended for Chiefs' star tight end Tony Gonzalez with 23 seconds left to preserve the Chargers’ win and prevent Kansas City from posting its second W, as they remain the AFC West sole bottom feeders. Playing his fourth game, Thigpen was 27-of-41 for 266 yards and three touchdowns.
Philadelphia 31
The New York Giants (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS) improved to 9-0 ATS versus winning teams, 20-7 ATS on the road and 21-6 ATS overall with its win over the Philadelphia Eagles (5-4 SU, 6-3 ATS). Donovan McNabb was 17-of-36 with 194 yards and had three TD passes for the Eagles, but it wasn't enough to beat the defending champions in a game the Giants proved they own NFC East. Eli Manning led the Giants to three straight scoring drives, finishing 17-of-31 with 191 yards, two touchdowns and one pick. While the Giants' offense went to work, its defense held Brian Westbrook to 59 yards.
Arizona 29
Sports betting fans were treated to a good MNF game to end Week 10. The double-digit favored Arizona Cardinals (6-3 SU, 6-3 ATS) held onto the win over the San Francisco 49ers (2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS) with an improbable goal-line stand at the finish. It was the Cardinals first MNF victory in 20 years. Kurt Warner finished 32-of-42 for 328 yards and three touchdowns without an interception in Arizona’s sixth consecutive home victory, fourth this season all four being covers. They've now cashed in five straight games overall, while taking full control of the NFC West.
Note: Week 11 kicks off on Thursday when the AFC East co-leading 6-3 Jets and Patriots battle for division supremacy.
