Happy Thanksgiving

12:30pm Pats/Lions Lions +4 FIRST HALF 1 star
This appears to be a 'trap game' for the Pats. Coming off 2 great wins vs Steelers and Colts and the Jets are on deck. Brady has a sore foot but is expected to play. The Lions have young talent and have played well at home. Money is coming in on the Home Dog and as the line for the game has crept down to 6.5. Value here is First Half home dog +4

4:15 Saints/Cowboys Saints -4 3 stars
Money is coming in on the Saints and for good reason. The Saints are quietly starting to heat up. Their defense has played well all year but Drew Brees and the offense are now starting to click. Brees threw for 382 yards last week vs Seahawks and the cowboys secondary has been banged up all year. Although the Boys have shown fight recently, Felix Jones is banged up and they just won't be able to match punches with Kitna under center.

8:30 Jets/Bengals PASS

LATE ADDITION: TEXAS A&M -3 2 stars

Hedgie coming off a 3-1 Saturday....

Vikings +3 2 stars
Hedgie won last Sunday fading the Vikes on the road but will get on the Viking Ship this week as the Vikes pretty much have to have all hands on deck for this one or the season is over. Syndey Rice is finally active, and Percy Harvin had a good full practice Friday. The Vikes are 0-5 on the Road this year but have won their last 3 at Home. +3 Home Dome Dog is good value here

Colts +4 1 star
This game would have more stars but the Colts are still banged up and left 5 players at home including Joseph Addai and Gary Brackett. The Pats defense is still young and Peyton can single handedly keep this game close.

Skins/Titans OVER 44 3 stars

Skins secondary is very banged up. Landry and Rogers both did not make the trip. Bad spot for a team with Randy Moss getting familoiar with the new offense and burner Nate Washngton on the other side. Not to mention home run hitter Chris Johnson.
Clinton Portis returns to try and help the Skins. His biggest contribution should be in pass blocking. Look for the Skins to attack more through the air. This all equals OVER 44 points

Giants +3.5 2 stars
Vick is playing great but the Ginats should be able to harass him much like the Packers did earlier in the season. The Ginats were embarrassed about last week and will play with alot of fire. Make sure you get 3.5 points

It's Time for The Hedgie To SHINE...

PITT -3 2 stars Pitt superior all the way around. Wanndstat is the only one who can lose this game by lack of preparation and poor coaching. That won't happen here. PITT by 10

UNC -2.5 3 stars Tarheels seek Triple Revenge after 3 straight losses to their crosstown rival

So Miss -4 2 stars Houston Freshman QB will have a hard time shaking 5 INT's from last week vs Tulsa. Bad spot vs a good So Miss team

Penn St -10.5 1 star Indiana coming off a humiliating loss and travels to Fed Ex Field where Penn St will have the home crowd. lay it

Thursday NIght NFL

Hedgie Monday Night Football


Pretty simple angle here: MONDAY NIGHT HOME DIVISIONAL DOG

The Redskins are coming off a bye week and the media has overdone the Mcnabb benching vs the Lions. The Shanahans both refute reports that they are dissatisfied with Mcnabb's laid back practice routine and ESPN reported today that The Redskins have signed Mcnabb to a five 5yr $78 mil extension. Bottom line here is that all parties at Redskins camp are competitive and want to win that elusive super bowl ring.
On another note, The money is in on the Eagles. Most lines are now Eags -3 (-125 juice). The Redskins have played very close games this year and HALF of those games have been decided by 3. Make sure you use discipline and buy the extra 1/2 point and get this game at +3.5
From a strategic point of view, SS Nate Allen of the Eagles hurt his next last week. Look for the Redskins to exploit his rookie replacement Kurt Coleman. Also, keep an eye on Brandon Banks who might return early from a knee scope to boost the Special Teams
Redskins +3.5 2 stars

p.s. Hedgie missed this angle yesterday with the Chiefs play. The Broncos coming off a bye at home was a divisonal foe underdog and showed up to play. Moving on...

Hedgie Saturday

The Hedgie is hitting the reset button and taking a Saturday off. This week all the resources are being committed to this Sunday and getting back on track with the NFL games

Hedgie Sunday

Bears/Bills OVER 41 3 stars
The Bears have had the bye week to fix their offensive woes and he Bills horrible defense should give them the boost they need. Don't let last week's low scoring Bills/Chiefs game scare you (13-10). It deflates this line a bit and offers value. The Bills are 4-1 OVER in the last 5 games:
@ Baltimore 34-37 , Jags 26-36 , Jets 14-38 , @ Pats 30-38 Weather will not be an issue here either as the game will be played in Totonto's Rogers Center. Expect both teams to play loose and go OVER 41

Texans +3 vs Chargers 3 stars
The Hedgie will continue to focus on the Chargers team which is #1 in Offense in the NFL but still has something amiss. They are 0-4 on the road this year and Antonio Gates is very doubtful with a torn platar fascia in his foot from last week's game vs the Titans. The Texans are 2-2 at home and should be able to get this outright win. Note also that Nate Keading is still out and Chris Brown continues kicking duties for the Chargers. Brown was cut by the Texans in the preseason after being their kicker the past 8 years and also cost the Hedgie a 4 star over play two weeks ago as he 'DOINKd' one of the goalpost with no time left. Their will be alot of pressure on him and Hedgie suspects Brown will miss another costly FG in this game Texans +3 home dog is a strong play


Saints -6.5 1 star
