Sunday November 15th in the National Football League - Let the Jockeying for playoff spots begin

Your consultants here at P4P went 5-3 yesterday in NCAA action.  A day that should have ended with a 6-2 record were it not for a late and unimportant Cal score as they were trying to run out the clock against a bumbling Arizona Wildcats squad.  Oh well, it’s water under the bridge and we can’t un-ring the bell, but we can offer you more FREE selections that will continue to sway the playing field in your direction and away from the house.  With the first Thursday  game of the year out of the way and still more teams having BYEs this week, we are looking at a very limited slate this weekend.  There are, however, some excellent games out there with some clear money making opportunities.

Home Team In CAPS

Our Selection In Bold

Cincinnati Bengals +7  at  PITTSBURGH STEELERS: 1pm EST - Leadership atop the division is at stake when these two rivals clash once again.  The Bengals won the first match-up of the season and will look to have all tie-breaker advantages against the Steelers.  The Steelers are playing great, like the champions they are, but Cincy has won 6 of the last 7 meetings.  Pittsburgh should win, but not by more than a touchdown.  Take the Bengals and the points. 

New Orleans Saints -13 1/2 at ST. LOUIS RAMS: 1pm EST - It’s hard to tell who misses who more.  Do the now defensively lifeless NY Giants miss former defensive coordinator and current Rams head Coach Steve Spagnuolo or is  Spags kicking himself that he actually took the Rams job.  Either way, Spagnuolo and the Rams will suffer an excruciating a$$ kicking today at the hands of another former Giant assistant, Sean ‘don’t call me Walter or Gary’ Payton.  The Saints are explosive and fun to watch.  The Rams will try to pressure Drew Brees with a variety of blitz packages, but that will only play right into the Saints game plan.  Look for the Saints to crush St.Louis today in the Edward Jones Dome. 

Dallas Cowboys -3 at GREEN BAY PACKERS:  4:15 pm EST - Aaron Rodgers, like he has all season, will be hit hard and often.  The league leader in getting sacked, Rodgers will put forth an admirable effort, but it’s hard to get the ball down field to your receivers when you are constantly on your back.  Dallas has gotten its’ swagger back, even if it is a bunch of false bravado. The Cowboys still  are not a great team, but they do pressure the opposing QB consistently which will make for a long and painful day for Mr.Rodgers.

Philadelphia Eagles at SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: 4:15 pm EST - OVER 47 - Look for an aerial show that would make Don Coryell proud.  Philip ‘Cry Me A’ Rivers will look to expose Philadelphia’s suspect secondary by throwing a lot to his group of big and physical receivers.  Westbrook returns for Philly which should make McNabb’s play-action fakes much more effective and look for DeSean Jackson and rookie WR Jeremy Macklin to each make big plays today.  This will be one of the most enjoyable and exciting offensive games of the NFL season.

Denver Broncos at WASHINGTON REDSKINS: 1pm EST - UNDER 36 1/2 - Everything written about the above game being an offensive aerial show and one of the most exciting games of this NFL season does NOT apply to this game.  This will be one of the most boring and offensively inept games in the NFL this season and for that matter, maybe the last few seasons.  This has all the makings of a 13-9 snooze fest.

New England Patriots at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS:  8:20 pm EST - OVER 48 - A few things you need to know before this game; neither team’s defense is as good as they’ve been in the past.  Weather inside Lukas Oil Stadium will not be a factor and the two premier QBs in the NFL will put on a show tonight.  As entertaining as San Diego vs.Philly will be, this game in Indianapolis will also be a great show to wrap up this Sunday’s NFL action.

As always, good luck, play wise, play smart, and play on player.  Enjoy the day and make it a profitable one.

“FREE” Thursday Night Hockey Selection!!!

As the NHL grinds toward the playoffs, your consultants at P4P are preparing to make your Stanley Cup run a profitable one. Tonight we are offering another one of our famous “free” selections. On the year we have gone a respectable 12-8 on our free NHL picks and tonight we look to add lucky number 13 to the win column.

Tonight, we feature the Florida Panthers @ the Atlanta Thrashers. Florida is currently on the outside looking in on the Eastern Conference playoff picture while Atlanta is just playing out the final few games trying to build something for next season. A closer look at the numbers show that the Thrashers have actually been scoring goals in bunches lately scoring 3 or more goals in 8 of the last 9 games. Florida on the other hand has scored only 1 goal in 2 of the last 3 games including a 3-1 loss to the Thrashers on April 3rd. This looks like another good spot for the Panthers to get Thrashed!

OUR P4P PICK: Atlanta +135

Tuesday night “FREE” hockey selection!!!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone from your friends at P4P!

We will try to get you your Pot O’ Gold tonight with this free NHL selection. After a small bump in the road on Saturday, we are feeling confident about tonight’s FREE selection.

The Washington Capitols travel to Florida to face the Panthers. The Capitols are in the midst of a tough stretch, playing 4 games in 6 nights including a back-to-back matchup between Atlanta last night and Florida tonight. Anyone who watched last night’s game saw a very disorganized offense from Washington who is without star defenseman Mike Green again tonight. Florida on the other hand comes into tonight well rested having not played since Saturday. Plus they have the added motivation of needed every win to secure the 8th playoff spot in the east.

OUR SELECTION: FLORIDA -110
