Time to start winning streak this Monday

Got whacked good yesterday and look to rebound in a hurry. Paul Buck has a Free Play in the NBA. The Top Trend is perfect and involves one of the Big Monday games. The Best System is 84.4 percent, but you will want to read more. Good Luck

What I thought yesterday – Though the San Diego Chargers have enjoyed success against the Indianapolis Colts the last decade, the fundamental difference in the coaching philosophies has been on display the last two weeks. The Colts have coaches that can isolate and fix a problem, in this case, the New York Jets blitzing defense, and make it work in their favor. As seen, New York picked up right where they left off against San Diego, sacking Peyton Manning for losses the first two series. However, OC Tom Moore, Manning and OL coach Howard Mudd made quick and effective adjustments, which allowed the Colts to take over the game.

As expected, Darrelle Revis took Reggie Wayne out the game and New York had a solid game plan for Dallas Clark. Instead, Indy started shortening routes and made the Jets secondary start chasing diagonal patterns across the field. Manning started doing more three-step drops and getting rid of the ball, something the Chargers never did.

The offensive line went from man on man passing blocking to more a zone wall, being able to catch or knock off Jets pass-rushers with greater effectiveness. Spreading the Jets defense out more effectively allowed running lanes for Indianapolis running backs. In the end absolutely outstanding in-game adjustments which set up the Colts for a chance to win another Super Bowl.

I’ve read more than few comments from Packers fans relishing Brett Favre’s untimely interception and while I agree as does Favre it was unfortunate throw, the entire Minnesota offense has to be held accountable for their failure to advance.

Simple-minded announcers will point to the fact that statistics lie when determining the outcome of some contests, but this game couldn’t be accurate from the handicapping perspective about the outcome.

First downs – Minnesota 31-15
Total yards – Minnesota 475-257
Rushing yards – Minnesota 165-68
Penalties- New Orleans (9-88) Minnesota (5-32)
Turnovers – Minnesota 5 to 1

Troy Aikman – Ending words with - in’ (ex. - tacklin’), lost track after 50 in the third quarter, sorry, had nothing to do with outcome.

I thought Adrian Peterson would have a big day, but his reckless style of running killed Minnesota. FOX had a number of great replays that showed when A.P. is cutting, juking or just trying to get into open space; the ball separates from his body, letting him become an easy target.

You can knock Favre, but if the other Vikings players do their job throughout the game, or the mix up on the previous play with 12 men on the field hadn’t cost Minnesota five yards, where a running play could have still been in order for field under 50 yards, who knows. I’m not a Favre apologist, I’ve been as tough on him as anyone for all his antics the last several years, but I admired his courage, since I don’t think many quarterbacks could have taken the punishment he did and still finish the game, let alone having a chance to win in OT.

Free Basketball System -1) Play On a good shooting team like Denver (45.5-47.5 percent) against an average defensive team (43.5-45.5 percent) past the midpoint of the season, after three straight games attempting 10 or more free throws than opponent. I really like this 27-5 ATS system, however no Carmelo at least has me leery.

Free Basketball Trend -2) Kansas is 11-0 ATS playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) after 15 or more games over the last two seasons, winning by 14.5 points a contest.

Free Basketball Pick -3) Paul Buck presumes Utah will continue to play well and Phoenix will keep playing lousy.
