Sunday's Selection ... NOTE:
Doesn't get much better than this.

Peyton Manning, on the road, where he has won 8 in a row, versus a team he has beaten 6 in a row.

You will not get this kind of value with the Colts the rest of the year, and by God I am not about to pass it up.

I haven't lost in the NFL on Sunday in 2 weeks. I am 10-1-1 paid and comp plays the last 2 weeks. I just handed the world the Dolphins outright Thursday.

Now here is why Indy is my One-and-Only 75 dime winner today.

75 DIME - INDIANAPOLIS COLTS - MONEY LINE - (Buy down the 1/2 point in this game if you have Indianapolis at -1 1/2, -2, -2 1/2 or even -3. Never get beaten by the hook.).

Peyton owns the Ravens.

Last year he was rusty when he faced them, and lit them up 31-3 like it was nobody's business - and how did Joe Flacco do against Indy's cover two defense?

The Ravens only crossed into Colts territory on three of their 12 drives and turned the ball over five times.

Not enough for you, let me take you back to the 2006 season when the Ravens met the Colts in the 2nd round of the NFL playoffs in Baltimore.

Ravens were off a bye week. They had the # 2 run defense. The # 6 pass defense. The # 1 overall defense. They were ready.

Peyton Manning and the Colts won the game 15-6 on the way to their Super Bowl victory.

Now let's fast forward to 2009. Trust me folks, a lot has changed.

Ravens are no longer the big feared defense. In fact, they are nowhere close, and you had better believe Peyton can't wait to attack them again.

Let me break it down a little easier for you.

In their 5 wins this year the QB's the Ravens have beaten are Matt Cassell, Philip Rivers, Brady Quinn twice and Kyle Orton.

Let me point out that in their win over the Chargers, Rivers was 25 for 45 for 421 yards and if not for a horrific 4th and 1 play call, they don't beat Philip Rivers.

The weakness of this Ravens defense is their secondary and if you don't get pressure with your blitz, your man to man coverage behind it is going to get lit up like a Christmas tree at night.

Question, who is the best QB in the NFL at handling the blitz? Answer is 100% without a doubt Peyton Manning.

This is as bad a matchup for the Ravens as you can ask for, and I fully expect Peyton to do what he always does versus this Baltimore team and that is execute his offense to precision and get the win.

I am aware of the flat spot for Indy in this game off the big home win over the Patriots and if they were playing anybody else other than the Ravens I might be inclined to look the other way.

Fact of the matter is Ray Lewis and this Ravens defense could match wits with Peyton 100 times, and I would go with Peyton all 100, unless the Ravens made a drastic change in their defensive philosophy.

That is not happening in mine or yours lifetime. The Ravens do what they do. Blitz, and play man behind it. If you can protect and beat us. Congrats. You beat us but it still won't stop us from blitzing. It is who they are.

Honestly, beating a team once or twice in a row, or even 3 times in a row maybe considered lucky...but 6 times in a row? With the same QB and the same basic defense this QB has seen all 6 times.

Do you really think the Ravens can come up with anything in this game Peyton hasn't seen from them before? And he faces probably the easiest Ravens defense he has seen in the previous 6 meetings.

Offensively the Ravens are struggling bigtime. You saw those struggles on Monday night versus the worst run defense in the NFL of the Cleveland Browns and a pass attack which made 2nd year QB Joe Flacco look very average.

Truth be told, the offense is regressing with Cam Cameron, and I don't see it getting that much better on a short week versus the Colts.

Indy is 9-0 and I just don't see Joe Flacco doing something Tom Brady couldn't do and that is beat the Colts. Teams now have film to work with on young Mr. Flacco and you can see it with how he is struggling in year # 2 as is Matt Ryan of Atlanta.

Lastly, the line move in this game doesn't scare me at all as I felt Indy should have opened at -3 and it seems the line is working it's way up to that as kickoff draws near.

At the end of the day you will never get Peyton Manning at this kind of money line price any probably for the rest of his career and it's because of this I am banking on him big time today.

15 DIME - SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS - Great spot for the road dog here.

First and foremost, great line value here with the Niners courtesy of the Packers big win over the Cowboys.

Off that win the linemakers sees fit to jack up this number near a touchdown, and it's value I will not pass up.

This is a Niners team that in the same situation went into Indy and took Peyton and the Colts down to the wire in an 18-14 Indy win.

The 49ers have covered every road game this year, including an outright win at Arizona, and we all know what should have been an outright win at Minnesota if not for the last second heroics of Brett Favre.

Their other two road games were the aforementioned Colts, and the 3 point loss at Houston catching 3 1/2.

This team performs well in the role of road dog, and they have also been performing well under Mike Singletary to the tune of 6-1 ATS last 7 on the road.

The Packers are not good enough to be laying this kind of number against anybody as evidenced by their 2 outright home losses to the Bengals as a 9 1/2 point favorite, and the Vikings as a 3-point favorite.

I will gladly grab great value with San Francisco today and watch them be in this game the whole way and it wouldn't suprise me if they won the game outright.

Larry's Weekend Wipeout Winner-NFL (won 5 of L6 NFL weeks)
My Weekend Wipeout Winner is on the NY Giants at 1:00 ET. The Giants opened the 2009 season 5-0 but a closer look at the schedule revealed that the team's lone quality win came at Dallas and the Giants won that contest with a FG on the game's final play. The Giants were exposed by the Saints in Week 6, losing 48-27 in New Orleans. Three more losses followed and the Giants are coming off their bye week on a four-game losing streak. Giants head coach Tom Coughlin gave his team four days off during its bye week, hoping the Giants can save what seemed like a promising season with a much-needed win. That win looked as if it was going to come in Week 9 but the Giants allowed San Diego to drive 80 yards in the final two minutes for the winning TD in what turned into a 21-20 win by the Chargers. New York got help during the bye as the teams above it in the NFC East, Dallas and Philadelphia, both lost. The Giants are in a second-place tie with the Eagles and one game behind the Cowboys heading into Week 11. It also helped New York that the Falcons (a wild card challenger) lost last Sunday, 28-19 at Carolina. The Falcons opened the 2009 season 4-1 but they've lost THREE of their last four. QB Ryan, outstanding as a rookie, had a 9-4 ratio in Atlanta's 4-1 start but he barely completed 50 percent of his passes these last four games (60-of-118 or 50.8%) while throwing eight INTs (five TDs). More importantly, Atlanta lost RB Turner in last week's game at Carolina. Turner gained 1,699 yards last year (106.2 per game) but struggled out of the gate in 2009. He averaged just 67.2 YPG through Atlanta's first six games but ran for 151, 166 and then 111 yards (in just nine carries) vs Carolina before getting hurt in the second quarter. Turner will not play and that's a HUGE loss for the Falcons, putting even more pressure on the struggling Ryan. While the Giants have not run as well as last year (Brandon Jacobs has yet to record a 100-yard effort and Ahmad Bradshaw's production is down to 35.0 yards per game during the skid compared to 75.0 in the 5-0 start), Atlanta has allowed 130.3 YPG (4.6 YPC) on the ground which ranks 25th in the league. The bye week couldn't have come at a better time for the Giants and with all their problems on the defensive side of the ball, the Giants enter this game allowing 274.4 YPG, which ranks No. 1 in the NFL. Atlanta's lost FOUR of five road games this year, losing its last three while allowing 33.3 PPG. Expect the Giants to roll in this one, as the Falcons play the perfect foil. Weekend Wipeout Winner 15* NY Giants.

Good Luck...Larry

Larry Ness' Oddsmaker's Error-NFL Week 11 (4-1 or 80% run L6 weeks)
My Oddsmaker's Error is on the Bal Ravens at 1:00 ET. Peyton Manning connected with Reggie Wayne on a one-yard TD pass with 13 seconds to play to clinch a 35-34 win over the Patriots last Sunday night. The game-winning four-play, 29-yard drive came after New England head coach Bill Belichick elected to go for it on 4th-and-two from his own 28 with 2:08 remaining. Brady's pass to Kevin Faulk came a yard short and the rest is history. The Colts haven't lost a regular season game in nearly 13 months. Indy is 9-0 for the third time in five years and its 18-game winning streak (which dates back to a loss at Tennessee on Oct 27, 2008) is three shy of New England's mark for the longest in league history. Manning, a three-time NFL MVP, is making a strong case for a 4th award. He leads the league in completion percentage (69.7), passing yards (2,872) and TD passes (20), while ranking third in passer rating (104.2). All this despite a running game which ranks 29th (86.0 YPG / 3.9 PC). Indy's defense allowed 34 points and 477 yards to the Pats last Sunday night but still ranks No. 1 in points allowed (15.8) and 12th in total yards (322.7 YPG). The Colts just completed a three-game homestand in which they've won by four over the 49erers (laying 13), three over the Texans (laying 7 1/2) and then last Sunday night's game. The Colts are LONG overdue for a loss and the Ravens are just the team to do it. The Baltimore 'D' is not as dominating as in years' past but the offense is greatly improved. Flacco is averaging about 60 YPG more in passing yards, has 12 TD passes (just 14 all of LY) and a QB rating of 90.7 (80.3 LY). Rice (662 yards / 5.2 YPC / 6 TDs plus 49 catches) has quickly developed into one of the league's most versatile backs plus this is the best receiving group Baltimore has had since the franchise relocated from Cleveland. Mason is the wily vet, Clayton and Washington have been solid plus TE Heap keeps getting better. The Colts are running away in the AFC South (lead by four games), while the Ravens can only hope to somehow grab one of two AFC wild card spots from a very crowed field. The Steelers are up next (here in Baltimore), making this the team's biggest two-game stretch of the season. First things first. The Ravens end Indy's perfect season right here! Oddsmaker's Error 15* Bal Ravens.

It's reunion time for Kurt Warner as he leads his defending NFC champs into St Louis, 10 years after he led the 1999 Rams to a Super Bowl title. Most everyone is familiar with the story. Warner was an NFL castoff who played overseas and even supported himself for a while by working in a supermarket. He got the starter's job in 1999 when Trent Green was lost for the year during the preseason. Warner earned MVP honors that season and led the franchise to its only Super Bowl win (was also the Super Bowl MVP). He was named MVP again in 2001 but the Rams fell short of a second championship, losing 20-17 to New England in the Super Bowl. When Warner lasted just one season with the Giants in 2004, his career looked all but over. He resurfaced in Arizona and then beat out Matt Leinart in Ken Whisenhunt's second season as coach. Warner had a MVP-like season in 2008 and the Cards made it all the way to the Super Bowl last season, suffering a last-minute loss to Pittsburgh. Warner is proving that he and the Cardinals weren't a fluke last year. The Cards are 6-3, including 4-0 on the road where they were 3-5 last season. Warner is completing 66.9% of his passes for almost 280 YPG with 18 TDs and 11 INTs (91.5 rating). Warner became the 29th player in NFL history to throw 200 TD passes last Sunday, as he finished with 340 yards passing and two scores to help Arizona rally from an early 14-0 deficit to defeat Seattle 31-20. The Rams enter 1-8 in 2009 and a pathetic 6-35 since the beginning of the 2007 season. Warner has been at his best on the road this season, with a league-leading 72.6 completion percentage, 10 TDs and only two of his 11 INTs. He's 3-0 as a visitor in St. Louis, throwing for an average of 272.7 YPG with six TDs and only one INT. This must feel like a 'broken record' for the Rams. This is the team's fifth home game in 2009. The Rams have hosted in order, the Packers, Vikings, Colts and Saints. In case you are unfamiliar, that means facing Rodgers, Favre, Peyton and Brees. Those are the top-four rated QBs in the NFL in 2009 with a combined TD-to-INT ratio of 73-24. It shouldn't come as any surprise then that the Rams have allowed 36.0 PPG in their four home games with all four games going 'over.' Take a look at the history book and it reveals these numbers. The Cards are 50-26-1 (65.8%) to the 'over' since the beginning of the 2005 season (including LY's postseason). They are 26-11-1 (670.3%) to the over in games away from home, including three of four this year, averaging 30.8 PPG. The Cards come in playing very well averaging 29.3 PPG in their last four games overall with all four going over (game average of 52.3 PPG). NFL Total of the Week on Ari/StL Over (9*).

Bill Belichick has been the talk of the NFL this week following his controversial fourth-down call last Sunday night at Indy. Belichick decided to go for it on fourth-and-two from the Patriots' own 28-yard line with just over two minutes to go and his team leading 34-28. Brady's pass to Kevin Faulk came up short and the Colts cruised in for the winning TD. "I thought it was our best chance to win," Belichick said. "I thought we needed to make that one play and then we could basically run out the clock. We weren't able to make it." Bottom line is this. Belichick DOESN'T trust his defense, despite its respectable 16.7 PPG average even AFTER the 35 points allowed to the Colts. The Pats could quiet their critics with a win over the Jets, which would basically 'bury' New York in the AFC East. The Jets opened 3-0 in 2009, including a 16-9 win over the Pats in Week 2. However, the Jets have lost FIVE of their last six, allowing 25.0 PPG in their five losses. The Pats are 5-0 in Foxboro this season, averaging 32.8 PPG. The weather is expected to be nice and I expect this game to be NOTHING like the teams' Week 2 meeting. The Pats are looking to put Sunday night's 'disaster' behind them and New England's 'shaky' defense is "just what the doctor ordered" for struggling rookie QB Sanchez. 8* NYJ/NE Over.

REASON FOR PICK: Miami-Fla and South Carolina are both 4-0 heading into the championship game of the Charleston Classic. Miami won 19 games last year while the Gamecocks, in Darrin Horn's first season in Columbia, won 21. It was an excellent first season for the head coach who came to prominence by leading Western Kentucky into the NCAA tourney, where the Hilltoppers produced more than a few "March Madness moments." Both teams are solid but I like Horn quite a bit and his one-two combo of fifth-year seniors, the 6-7 Archie 16.3-7.0) and the 5-9 Downey (16.0-3.8 APG). Both flirted with the draft but return to the South Carolina backcourt joined by another senior, Raley-Ross (10.0) and freshman Galloway (5.8-3.7). The frontcourt isn't half-bad either, as the 6-7 Holmes (12.3-4.8) and the 6-9 Muldrew (7.3-4.5) have returned to play well in the early going, joined by 6-10 JUCO player, Johnson (4.3-4.0). Miami has a senior-laden frontline. The 6-8 Collins (13.0-8.5) is the team's best inside player, joined by the 6-7 Thomas (8.5) and the 6-9 McGowan (7.0-4.9). McClinton (19.3) is gone in the backcourt but senior Dews (12.0), Villanova transfer Grant (12.8) and highly-touted 6-5 freshman Scott (7.5-4.3-6.3) form a solid trio. Miami lost a lot of close games last season and FTs were often the difference. The 'Canes were next-to-last in the ACC in FT percentage last year (68.3) and are shooting just 68.1 through four games TY. South Carolina is not a great overall team at the line but the guard trio of Archie, Downey and Raley-Ross are making 44-of-56 or 79 percent so far. I don't expect a blowout in this one but I sure expect the Gamecocks to come away with the win (which is all they need to do to cover this one). Tourney Game of the Week on South Carolina (8*).


The Eagles were 'riding high' at 5-2 after beating the Giants 40-17 in Week 8. However, they then lost a close 20-16 decision to the Cowboys on SNF in Week 9 and last week were held to three FGs through the first three quarters at San Diego before McNabb's two TDs in the fourth quarter cut the deficit to five points. However, the Chargers tacked on a 29-yard FG with 30 seconds remaining for a 31-23 win. McNabb went 35-for-55 with 450 yards, two TDs and an interception. It was the second-highest passing yards of McNabb's career and the fourth 400-yard passing game by an Eagle since 1970. Eagles RB Brian Westbrook was knocked out with another concussion and has been ruled out this week (and probably much longer). That means the Eagles will need to rely on McNabb and that sets up a high scoring game. The Bears agreed to a contract extension with QB Jay Cutler through the 2013 season just a few days after the team had lost 21-14 at Atlanta in Week 6. That loss sent the Bears on a 1-4 SU and ATS slide. Cutler set a career high with five interceptions, the last coming in the end zone on the game's final play in Chicago last game, a Week 10 Thursday night 10-6 loss at San Francisco. Cutler is the first Bear to have at least four INTs in a game twice in the same season since Billy Wade in 1962. It was Cutler's fourth game with three or more interceptions over the last two seasons, tied with Jake Delhomme for the most in the NFL. I don't want to give Cutler a 'pass' on Chicago's offensive woes this year but the Bears do rank 30th in the NFL at 85.2 YPG on the ground. Matt Forte rushed for 1,238 yards as a rookie in 2008 but won't come close to that in 2009, as he has been held to 482 yards this season through nine games. Cutler will have to throw, which also favors the over. The weather is expected to nice and history is also on our side in taking the Bears 'OVER' at home. Chicago's defense led them to an 11-5 season in 2005 but the Bears lost their first playoff game that postseason, 29-21 in Chicago to the Panthers. Beginning with that game, the Bears have played 31 home games, with the OVER cashing 22 of 31 times, or 71.0 percent of the time! 8* Phi/Chi Over.

Cutler will have to throw, which also favors the over. The weather is expected to nice and I believe the Eagles will win a shoot-out. Chicago's OL has had recent problems and the Eagles have 29 sacks (only the Vikings have more in 2009). Cutler has been a 'turnover machine' and Philly ranks second in the NFL with 22 total takeaways, including 15 INTs (3rd-best). Devin Hester has 48 catches this year (had only 51 all of last year) but he's Chicago's lone threat among WRs (Olsen is having a nice year at TE). It's a bad matchup for Hester, as the Eagles historically have been able to contain their opponents' deep threats. Just see last week as a good example, as San Diego's No. 1 WR Vincent Jackson was held to one reception for 10 yards in Week 10. This is a "must win" for both teams but I want McNabb over Cutler plus it's hard to ignore Philly's 15-5 ATS mark on the road over its last 20 games (including the playoffs). Sunday Night Game of the Month 10* Phi Eagles.
