Colt McCoy gets the start for the Redskins today. The last time he started it was 4 years ago and he beat the Cowboys IN DALLAS 20-17 in OT. This game feels like it could set up similiarly. The Cowboys are coming off 2 straight wins . While the Skins are off a tough loss at home. The Line reflects that ! This is a HUGE GAME for both teams and could decide their playoff fate. The Redskins are 6-1 as an underdog ATS ths yr and the value clearly lies with the Skins here ..
REDSKINS +7.5 3 stars
LIONS/BEARS : UNDER 43.5 2 stars
The Bears will be without starting QB Trubiski so Chase Daniels gets the start. The Lions will be without starting RB K. Johnson. You'll see more of L Blount today and with more runs from big backs the clock will move more consistently. Daniels is a solid backup and HC Nagy brought him from KC b/c he knows Nagy's system. He'll run the offense efficiently and may surprise. But the Bears succeed by their DEFENSE and this game has the feel of a low scoring divisional slugfest.
FALCONS/SAINTS : OVER 60 2 stars
The Saints are averaging 48 points in their last 3 games. The last time these two teams met they scored 80 points ! Unlike the Eagles last week The falcons Offense can hang and will score. Both teams in the 30s...
Colorado State +14.5 1 star
Both teams LAST game of the year . It's an intra city battle of Colorado Springs. Too many points for Air Force to lay in the finale where both teams should be playing hard.
MISSISSIPPI + 13 1 star
Ole Miss needs one more W to become bowl eligible. Too many points to spot a hungry home dog in this in state rivalry which stands at 10-10 over the past 20 meetings.
