Nice week last week, the inside tips from Vegas smart money paid off, was even told to play the money line with San Diego and win even more money. Now, we are entering my favorite time of the season. No, not Christmas season, rather the end of the season when teams pack it in, and when other teams push even harder. From that, I have a 10* game this week, my biggest play this year.

Recapping last week, we were on the right side of each game, although we need to score the Cleveland game as a loss; Pittsburgh came back, and pushed the actual line, but beat our early line.

Carolina -4 @ Washington: Washington is distracted by a new QB, their leader Clinton Portis is hurt, and one of the best defenses in the league is coming to town. Carolina is focused, and prepared to make a serious run in the playoffs. Lay the points here with Carolina -4 **********

Yep – a 10* game – Carolina is playing for now, Washington is playing for next year.

Tampa +11 @ Dallas: Dallas loves to play on Turkey Day, and is about to take control of the NFC East. Dallas should win this game easily, but Tampa should be able to play hard and keep it close. Take the points here. Tampa +11 ***

New Orleans +3 @ Atlanta: There are problems in Atlanta, and New Orleans is playing with enthusiasm and fun. Take the team with fewer distractions. New Orleans +3 ***

OK – Two 3star games, AND One MONSTER TEN * game. The Panthers will beat the line by two touchdowns. This will not be a pretty game for the Redskins. Bet the house!

Carolina -4 **********(10 star)
Tampa +11 ***
New Orleans +3 ***
