Okay, so we went 2-2 yesterday, it should have been 3-1 as the ref's turned a field goal attempt into a touchdown on a replay overturn (erroneously) in the Penn St/Minnesota game.

On to today's selections for the NFL:

Take Baltimore +2.5 at Minnesota. Baltimore is 8-4 ATS the last 12 as a dog. They are 5-1-1 ATS vs Minnesota and 5-1 ATS on turf. The Ravens are coming off of two losses and they're pissed. Minnesota is not going undefeated and their schedule so far has been pretty soft. Prediction,Baltimore 24, Minnesota 20.

Take Chi/Atl under 46. The last six times these two teams played each other, all six went under the total. Hard to ignore a trend like that, especially when they have decent defenses. Prediction, Atl 20, Chi 17.

Take the Giants +3 at New Orleans. The G men are 8-2-1 ATS in October the last two years and 6-1 ATS vs the NFC South. New Orleans is 2-6 ATS off a bye (0-3 with current coach Sean Payton). Prediction, NYG 27, NO 24.

Bonus selection, take Carolina -3 at Tampa Bay. Carolina is showing some life with a win last week and the Bucs have not won yet. The Panthers have not covered a spread yet this year, they are due to cover. Also, the Panthers are 5-1 SU the last six at Tampa Bay.

FANTASY FOOTBALL SLEEPER PLAYS:

Start David Garrard- QB/Jacksonville. The Jags are home against the Rams and their 25th rated pass defense. The last two times the Jaguars were at home this year, Garrard passed for over 600 total yards and 5 td's.

Start Sammy Morris - RB/NE. Maroney sucks and after Fred Taylor's ankle injury and subsequent surgery, Morris will be New England's main ball carrier for the rest of the year. He is available as a Free Agent in many leagues, pick him up and start him if bye weeks or injuries have depleted your RB's.

Start Donnie Avery - WR/STL. The Jaguars defense against the pass is 26th in the league. With Bulger back, Avery is about the only passing option and should post decent numbers. Avery scored last week in garbage time.

BENCH CALVIN JOHNSON - WR/DET! He's just been listed as inactive for today's game. It's tough to bench Megatron, but he's not playing today.
