#10.) 10/1/06: NEW ENGLAND @ CINCINNATI |
 |
| In an unusual series trend, New England has won outright in four of its last six games against Cincinnati, but is 0-6 ATS. The Bengals will look to extend that streak when they host the Patriots October 1st. |
 |
#9.) 12/31/06: PITTSBURGH @ CINCINNATI |
|
| If the Bengals are to hold out hopes for a repeat division title, they will have to break a disturbing trend which has seen them go just 3-10 SU & ATS in their last 13 games hosting Pittsburgh. |
 |
#8) 12/17/06: DETROIT @ GREEN BAY |
 |
| While struggling on the road, Green Bay turns the tables on Detroit when playing at home. In fact, when visiting Lambeau Field since 1992, the Lions are an ugly 0-15 SU & 3-10-2 ATS. |

Free NBA Second Round Playoff FoxSheet of the Week: Detroit at Cleveland – Game 6
With the top seeds in both conferences, and the league’s last two champions, on the brink of elimination, their Eastern and Western Semifinal series’ move on to game 6 on Friday night. In the East, the Pistons, the favorite for the NBA title at the outset of the postseason, have lost three straight to the Cavaliers to fall behind 3 games to 2, and now face a must-win situation in Cleveland to stay alive in the playoff hunt. StatFox is showcasing this critical contest as its FREE NBA Playoff Game FoxSheet! Oddsmakers appear to be banking on an all-out effort from the Motor City Men, as Detroit opened as a 5-1/2 point road favorite. The total is set at 180.
The Pistons, 19-25 ATS on the road overall this season, have not looked good in the postseason away from the comforts of home. They are 1-3 SU & ATS so far in their four postseason games, and the one win came by virtue of a last two-minutes rally in Game 4 of the Milwaukee series. Meanwhile, Cleveland has covered the spread in all of the last four games of this series, which apparently turned in the 4th quarter of Game 2, when the Cavs made a valiant rally to get back in that game.
With a win in Game 6, Cleveland will continue what has been a remarkable first playoff run for star LeBron James with a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals where it will take on Miami. A loss though, and Game 7 will be played in Detroit on Sunday. With so much on the line Friday night, it’s essential to have every piece of handicapping information you can get your fingers on.
