Here are some of the top StatFox Power Trends for your consideration and even a Best Bet (four-star) for one of the Saturday games.
Week 13 was the first in many in which one of our guys didn’t pull out a profitable Sunday.
Each Sportsbook.com writer went 2-2 against the spread (ATS) with last weekend’s picks and that leaves Mike with a 29-21-3 record this year and Cras at 26-23-3.
The Big 12 title game between the Oklahoma Sooners and Missouri Tigers feels like there is almost a third team involved, the Texas Longhorns.
The Tigers are the opponent that will take the field, but the Longhorns have just as much vested interest in the outcome. You see, it is assumed that if the Sooners fall, Texas will slip into the other spot in the national title game in January.
The winner of the game between the Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday afternoon will punch their ticket to the national championship game.
Strangely, oddsmakers give Florida a huge edge, installing the Gators as 10-point favorites over the unbeaten Tide. Players at Sportsbook.com agree, with 62% backing the chalk. CBS will have the broadcast at 4 pm ET.

New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress made headlines with his recent gun arrest, and that’s one reason the Giants have dropped to 7 ½-point home favorites over Philadelphia.
New York is 11-1 straight up and 10-2 ATS, but the spread has gone down after opening at nine points. Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb played great last week versus Arizona and that is influencing Eagles’ backers as well.

NFL: Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets
Nov 30, 2008
If room on the Jets’ bandwagon was still available after the win at New England, the bus has to be full after sending Tennessee to a first loss. New York is heating up at an ideal time as this week’s game against Denver will wrap up what was the most important three-game stretch of 2008.
NFL: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Oakland Raiders
Nov 30, 2008
In the span of the last 20 weeks of NFL regular season action, the Chiefs and Raiders have won just six games combined.
As crazy as it sounds, Oakland owns five of those victories, the latest coming in a huge upset last week in Denver.
NFL: Atlanta Falcons vs. San Diego Chargers
Nov 30, 2008
Atlanta and San Diego are in positions where they can’t afford to lose too many more games if they are to keep their playoff hopes in place.
Of course, after last week’s win over Carolina, Atlanta’s room for error is much greater while nothing shy of a win over the Falcons will do for San Diego.
NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots
Nov 30, 2008
Pittsburgh visited New England in a high profile game a year ago and in the face of guarantees by Steelers’ players, the Patriots prevailed 34-13.
The extra motivation helped propel New England to its only ATS win in its final nine games of the ’07 season and the stakes are again high for this Week 13 matchup.
