?2 UNIT? PRIMETIME FOOTBALL (Broncos -2 at home versus Bears in a 8:05 eastern kickoff broadcast on NBC-TV):

One has to wonder why winless and banged up Denver would be cast as a favorite even though this is their preseason home opener. The reason why NBC decided to broadcast tonight?s game on a national level is that Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler is making his grand return to Denver where he already has verbally slammed Broncos fans and will be booed heavily. New Denver head coach Josh McDaniels had the audacity to check into other...

BIG AL's SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL TOTAL OF THE MONTH!

Matchup: Braves at Phillies
Pitchers: Jurrjens vs. Blanton
Time: 8:05pm ET

Pick: UNDER 9 (-115)

Analysis: At 8:05pm our selection is on the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies 'under' the total. With the acquisition of lefthanded ace Cliff Lee from the Cleveland Indians, tonight's starter, righthander Joe Blanton has been able to move to the # 4 spot in the rotation, a place where he no doubt feels less pressure and is more comfortable pitching every five days. And Blanton has responded with quality starts in each outing since Lee was acquired....

Jim Feist's 5* Inner Circle High Heat Dominator!
08/30 01:10 PM PT / 4:10 PM ET

MLB (965) HOUSTON ASTROS at (966) ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
Take: (966) ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS (5* Inner Circle)

Reason: Houston surprised a lot of people this year as they contended for the NL Central lead for a good part of the season. However, they have fallen back now and trail St Louis by 13 games in the division and have too many teams to climb over for the Wild Card. As for the Diamondbacks, well the good news is...

Randall the Handle

Atlanta +1.23 over PHILADELPHIA PINNACLE

The Braves love playing here, as they?ve won seven of its last 10 games in Philly and they have a significant edge on the hill today. Jair Jurrjens will take the mound looking for another strong performance at Citizens Bank Park, where he has gone 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA in three starts. Jurrjens is 10-8 overall with an impressive 2.91 ERA. He?s allowed two earned runs or less in seven of his last nine starts and no matter how you break it down this guy is impressive. Joe Blanton is...

Ben Burns "Blue Chip" Total

UNDER 9 RUNS,FLORIDA MARLINS (West)-vs- San Diego Padres (Latos)

Reason: I'm playing on Florida and San Diego to finish UNDER the total. The first two games of this series have both produced double-digits in combined runs. I expect a lower-final score in this afternoon's finale. Both starters will have the advantage of starting against today's opponent for the first time and both were exceptional last time out. West allowed one run through six innings. He earned the "W" in a 2-1 Florida victory. That gives him a 2.81 ERA his last three starts and marks...

Jim Feist: Week 3 5-Star Preseason Shocker - Saturday!

NFL (269) BALTIMORE RAVENS VS (270) CAROLINA PANTHERS



Take: (269) BALTIMORE RAVENS - 5*

Reason: The starters play the most in Week 3, and no one wants to face this Baltimore starting defense. The Panthers have injuries, problems at stopping the run, plus turnovers. The Panthers have fumbled 10 times in their first two exhibitions, losses against the New York Giants (six) and Miami Dolphins (four). They've lost five of them. Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams has a "sore knee" and is likely...

Dave Cokin's NFL Pre-Season Game of the Year!08/29 05:00 PM NFL (277) SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (278) ATLANTA FALCONS



Take: 10 Stars (278) ATLANTA FALCONS

Reason: Great spot for the Falcons and I expect them to respond with a big effort. It's Atlanta's home opener, and excitement about this year's team is at a peak right now. Head coach Mike Smith has announced that he is game planning for this contest as though it's a regular season game. The regulars will play through the first half and perhaps well into the third quarter. The Chargers are very...

Ben Burns' ***VERY EARLY*** NFL AFTERNOON ANNIHILATOR!

DETROIT LIONS (+3) over Indianapolis Colts

Reason: I'm taking the points with DETROIT. As you know, the third game of the preseason typically sees the most playing time from the starters. With that being the case, the natural reaction is to assume that the Colts, who have been much better than the Lions for years, will have the advantage. However, I see things differently. Regardless of which week of the preseason, I believe that "motivation" plays a huge role in predicting pointspread winners. In this case, I believe that the Lions will...
