Non conference matchup for Falcons and Bengals here on Sunday, two teams that started with victories in their season.

Great victories for both as they won a divisional match at the premiere, the Bengals except for a long-standing seat for these Ravens with 23-16, and the Falcons within the Saints in a crazy match 37-34.

Only one of the results is easy to understand who has the best defense here. Considering the Bengals defensive line one of the best in the NFL, and I think it will be particularly successful today in the pass rush to the Falcons. The Falcons note that they are now playing without their two main offensive guards. Traditionally the Cinci is possible at home, and in recent years Dalton has often raised its numbers in its home games. The Bengals on the premiere showed that they could easily reach the red zone but did not make touchdowns, and here I expect to change this as the red zone defense of Atlanta is quite inferior as we saw in their own premiere.

Also the spot here for the Falcons I would not say it is the best. Besides the fact that they are in a difficult position, it is an off-home non-conference match which many times the teams do not give the 100%, followed by an important divisional match against Tampa. Falcons might also be a bit flopped after their victory against the Saints rivals, as the match had intense emotional transitions and was judged to be the extension.

I do not hide that I like Cinci. here, while it has some good trends over it. 5-1 at the 3 last year as home-based favorite (3.5-7 points) and 6-1 at the same time in non-conference matches.

In the week 1, several favorites broke and covered the underdog, of course this will not happen every week and I think here is a good chance to get the favorite. That Five. has a lot of points for today's match and I feel like we have a pretty good line to cover as the book has given a little more weight than it had to win the Falcons against the Saints. In -5 the line to be covered by Bengals @ 1.90.

Last pick from the NCAAF and go to a maybe less commercial matchup here, with Indiana Hoosiers going to Bowling Green.

In this game I caught the attention of the relatively small line that Indiana must cover, which is the presumably better team in the couple. In this match Bowling Green will play with his second quarterback as the main one was injured, a second who has flown just ten passes to his career so far. In addition to the aggressive problems with Bowling, in his last two matches, he had several defensive problems, 569 passing yesterday in their first match, and 350 in the second!

Indiana has just played a match, and was basically friendly as they played with the weak Indiana State, which they easily won. The Hoosiers put a lot of weight on the running game, and they do it well. This point I think will be the key to today's confrontation with Bowling trying to stop it, and in addition leave open spaces to his vulnerable pass defense.

I have the feeling that they have not read the line completely correctly, for an Indiana team that is in a better conference and is better, while it also comes from a break against a Bowling with a second quarterback and a problematic defensive function. I consider it quite possible to leave Indiana with a victory even with a double-digit difference. The ideal number was -7 but it no longer exists, and 8 does it for me as I see a difference of at least 10 or more. Indiana -8 @ 1.90, Bet365.

Next bowl game at the NCAAF today with the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl held in a closed court in Detroit.

Here we come across two teams that have a difference in their record this year, but there is also a great deal of difference in their capacity at their respective conferences. Bowling Green from MAC has unexpectedly managed to take the title against Northern Il favorite. in the final in a match I was facing. 10-3 ended this season with the Falcons who can easily win enough matches within MAC, but these three defeats were against rather average opponents. A school without great success over time, won the title of MAC after 20 + years, yet they will come down today without the coach who reformed the program for the last 5 years, which he signed with Wake Forest. A strong point for the team defense with 18 passive points away from its headquarters, will accept a micro test today. Aggressively the Falcons draw near 35 points away from their seat, good numbers but I think about 10 of these points have to do with the power of the Mac conference.

That's Pitt. playing at a fairly strong American Conference in ACC. As a school and football program, Pitt is bigger. while the 6-6 record that managed to take out this year, I think it's a positive one, and it has produced an extremely difficult program. In big matches he did not fight very well against good opponents, especially with the Duke who came first in his division to win 58-55, with Mei 10 31-41, 28 winning 21 -26) while losing both matches against Navy and Vtech in details. All of these schools are much better than those participating in the MAC conference. The one that cost the team was the lack of scoring, as it is difficult to score in that region. 27 points in the attack, while defensive XNUMX I think it positive against several aggressive schools this year. The numbers of PItt. however, they show stability in a match and both inside and outside a good thing as it shows a salvation without being particularly affected by seats.

Pittsburgh's White Panthers for the current match, on the contrary, Bowling Green has some questions about the current match. The two teams have played three times since 92 'and then with Pitt. has taken 2 from these matches, and 2 from 3 has covered the handicap.

Difficult for Bowling Green to lose the coach who changed the flow of his football program. It may not change the way we play, but just as we do it does not react in the same way to the players on the pitch. I'm not good at Bowling but I think the numbers of the slightly misleading MAC conference today may have a problem in scoring and find a craftsman in the defensive track. For PItt. it was a marginal year that could be better but today it has the potential to get something from this season. The team tested this year against good sets if they play in this year's standard has good chances tonight. In the will for the trophy I will give Pitt a lead. coming out of a tricky region with Bowling Green may have hit a psychological ceiling after winning the title on the Mac conference. Favori opened and the Bowling remains with the line slowly cutting. It's a fun money line for Pitt. but I will prefer the points they give Panthers tonight.

A match today at the NFL which closes the schedule for this week. The Falcons are going to 49ers tonight with today's match being the last in Candlestick Park for the regular season as in the summer a new stadium will be built in its place.

Reversing the two teams this year, San Fran locks the play-offs today with a win, while Falcons with 4-10 this year has the third worst record in the NFL. Strong favorite in San Fran, but the big handicap that has to cover leaves me indifferent, while to follow the weak Falcons this year is difficult.

On the contrary I would prefer to go under here as I will follow the strengths and weaknesses of the teams this year. 49ers play great defense in most of their matches, keeping much better teams than today's opponent low in the score. In their last 6 matches they have brought 5 under with opponents surpassing just once the 20 points (New Orleans 23). 17 is coming home in its last 3 match, defensive performance ranks at 15. San Francisco is aggressive, but not impressive, as when it comes to the match, it plays the ball quite a bit, and in combination with its good defense, it chews the time. At 22.6 points this year's aggressive home production. 5-2 at under this year San Francisco at its headquarters.

On the other side, we have the Falcons who, when they find 49ers level opponents, generally struggle in the match and usually stay under. 4-3 on the under-off Falcons this year with the attack to make it close to the 21 points on the trips. His defensive function is problematic and will probably be the point where the bet will judge. Falcons accepts 29 offsides, with performance showing a slight improvement in 3 last match by falling to 26 passive.

I expect the 49ers to open the gap quickly with the rest of the match going at a controlled pace with the 49ers defense taking the reins and the Falcons not being able to easily find corridors. Here I find the limit a little raised for a match in which one of the top defenses in the league plays. On the other hand, despite the bad season, the Falcons have experienced players who will hardly make tragic mistakes to get the score. Under 46 offers at 1.93 Stoiximan.

The first final for this season at the NCAAF, with Northern Illinois meeting Bowling Green for the MAC conference title.

The two teams finished first in their class, with Northern finishing 12-0 and 8-0 at the Conference without defeat, while the Bowling in the East region finished with 7-1 and 9-3 as a whole. Today's match will be on neutral ground at Detroit on a closed court, so weather will not affect the match.

Northern has been dominant in recent years in the category and this year it can make treble conquests as it plays in the third final. With victory he will play in a high-level bowl game and therefore the prestige is motivated by the trophy. The team is fortunate to have one of the best QBs in America, Lynch who has done magic this year and steadily leads his team, 12 and 24 wins in their last 25 games. In the style of play, Northern runs a lot of ball and controls the match and makes it successful as it pulls the weight from its defensive line which is not always stable. Aggressively, the group with 43 points is about an excellent. 3 times this year has been given a favorite from 3.5 to 10 Northern Points and has covered all three times.

Bowling Green made a demaraja towards the end of the season to get the first reigning gentleman in her defense. The team had to win 9 wins in a season from 2004 while the last time it got the title was the distant 1992. This is a good year for Green in the defense, 14 points but today's match is probably the biggest test for them against an elite team, while aggressively they have to find solutions as production is not always stable. Their aggressive problem may affect two absences tonight in place of rb, significantly reducing their ability to run the ball. Bowling Green few times in the last few years that reaches such a match in December does not go so well against the handicap as 92 'and then 5 matches it is 1-4 ATS.

The last 3 matches that have been given by the two schools have taken all of them to the Northern. 11 '45-14, 08' 16-13 and 04 '34-17.

He believes the current game is difficult for Bowlinng Green as he will find against a team tested in such a match and experienced since he has two conquests on her back. Green can play great defense but the defense alone can not win you the matches and at some point you have to risk the attack that does not tell me much. In the offensive game, Northern has several solutions and will reasonably find the points it needs today to get the match and reach the title, while the long-term goal is to win the next bowl game that did not last year. The handicap opened near -3 on the Northern, a relatively steady stream of money over them has raised the threshold near 4 to most companies. As long as it remains below the 6 points I believe it still has value and is a line that Huskies can cover. In Sportingbet -4 we find it at 1.95.

The NFL program opens this week with New Orleans Saints making a short trip to Atlanta Falcons.

Divisional battle today as the two teams are participating in the NFC South, with Saints topping record 8-2 in a match in front of the Karolina pursuing them. The Atlanta is at the end of the 2-8 table this year, and basically has no mathematical hopes for a wild card.

With another big victory, the Saints won their 49ers at 23-20 in New Orleans, and this victory gave them realistic chances to chase pioneers in the NFC Seahawks as they are just two games behind them, while on 2 / 12 Saints will go to Seattle for the match. Of course, it is the current Atlanta that seems pretty good, as Saints have been doing pretty well with the Falcons in recent years. 4 wins the 5 3 4 matches last year, covering both the 23 and 17 victories, when they opened this season with a victory against Falcons 12-15 at home when the Atlanta was still full and had no injuries. If we go even further back we will see that Saints have taken 6 as a whole from the last 0 matches that the two teams have given. The performances of this year's team show that it is a complete set that easily scores with excellent Brees at the wheel and takes several points from the aggressive defense it plays. Saints have won all the NFC teams (20-7) this year and are just a few steps away from blocking a play-off position. Being in a closed field the match favors Saints and the strong hand of Brees, which shows their record when playing in domes in recent years, 3-5 ATS 1 last years and XNUMX-XNUMX ATS this year.

The relatively good season last year was quickly forgotten with this year's ugly presence of the Falcons. Injuries mainly to the defensive piece accounted for the team receiving pits as pistachios. Tampa passed their score after the unexpected defeat in Florida, 28-41, which was the third consecutive match to take over 30 points, the other two before Carolina and Seattle, Saints-level teams. The Falcons, who seem to have flown a white towel this season, have already been filled with defeats. Aggressively the team is one-dimensional with Ryan throwing the ball where he last finds 14 interceptions this year, which is dangerous to the qualitative defense against Saints. For Falcons's defense there is not much to say, 400 + yards have allowed in the last two games with Tampa's rookie qb to take part in the last match. For today's Falcons, the numbers are coming to indicate the difficulty of the current 0-6 this year ATS as underdog, 1-5 ATS 3 last years as 3.5 outsider as 9 points, 1-6 ATS this year with fewer than 6 days rest and 2 / 10 ATS 3 last years against positive record teams.

It is difficult to compare the two teams at the moment as the Falcons have lost a lot of their strength but even when they were full at the beginning the Saints took them again. Today the Saints only have goals and they want to stand out while the Falcons have their minds elsewhere and if the match goes wrong they will hardly fight it. I see superiority in the match for the Saints today, which justifies the line that has gone up close to 10 points. The fact that Stoiximan still has it at 7 is a good case. So Saints at -7 @ 1.93
