Louisville & S. Mississippi in Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl
December 21, 2010
The Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles will take on the Louisville Cardinals in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl Tuesday Night. Despite the difference in records, this should be a great match-up. Both of these teams played well this season at times, and have the capability of lighting up the scoreboard offensively. An 8-4 record in the improved Conference USA isn’t anything to hang your head about. The Golden Eagles had to play UCF and Houston down the stretch, and won both games by double-digits....
NFC North Monday Night Showdown: Bears & Vikings
December 20, 2010
It looks as though the Brett Favre era is over. Favre missed his first game in 297 starts last week, and will most likely not return to the Minnesota Vikings or any team for that matter. This season has been a massive disappointment for the entire Vikings franchise. It all started with begging Favre to come back and play, and it will end with a new head coach and Favre retiring. The lack of a passing attack was destined to happen when Sidney Rice went down with an injury prior to the season starting....
NFC East Title Fight: Giants vs. Eagles
December 19, 2010
The New York Giants are in essentially a “must win” situation as they face a Philadelphia Eagles team that beat them 27-17 in a meeting earlier this season. With just 3 games remaining on the schedule, it would a virtual lock for Philly if they were to go up a game with the tie-breaker advantage. A win on Sunday would put them in that situation. This season has been full of surprises for the Eagles. They began it with Kevin Kolb as the “franchise” quarterback after letting an aging Donovan...
Fresno St & N. Illinois Battle in Humanitarian Bowl
December 18, 2010
The Northern Illinois Huskies looked as though they were going to run away with the MAC Conference Championship as they absolutely demolished every team they face all season long. Unfortunately for the Huskies, they faced a determined Miami of Ohio team in the MAC conference Championship game, and wound up losing what was thought to be a walk-over. The Huskies were ATS machines this year as they covered all but 1 game leading up to their match-up with the Redhawks. Losing outright as 19 point favorites...
Mavericks host Suns in Western Conference Shootout
December 17, 2010
The Dallas Mavericks were projected to be towards the middle of the pack this season by most NBA handicappers. However, they have surpassed many basketball experts expectations thus far as they are 2nd in the Southwest division of the Western Conference with a 20-5 record. Dallas is using a defensive approach this season, and are adding a well-rounded offensive attack to the equation. They are 6th overall in points allowed per game, which translated to wins on nights when their offense isn’t at...
Niners try to keep it going vs. Chargers
December 16, 2010
The San Diego Chargers bounced back in a big way after a shocking loss to the Raiders last week with a tremendous defensive effort in a 31-0 shutout of the Kansas City Chiefs. San Diego now finds themselves just 1 game back of the Chiefs for the AFC West title. Winning the West seems as though it will be the only sure way for the Chargers to get into the playoffs as they are a full 2 games behind both the Jets and Ravens for a wild-card spot. There is no doubt that the Chargers will be focused from...
Knicks look to Break-Out against Celtics
December 15, 2010
The Boston Celtics were supposed to be this good according to NBA experts and basketball handicappers, but the New York Knicks are surprising everyone. The Knicks have won 13 out of 14 games after what seemed to be a devastating 6 game losing streak back in mid-November. Whatever was said or done to get this team motivated is working as New York is not only right back in the hunt, but are leading the NBA in scoring average. It’s hard to believe that a team with Amare Stoudemire and a bunch of average...
Cincinnati Bearcats aren’t getting enough Respect
December 14, 2010
The Big East conference currently has 8 teams that have at least an 8-1 record or better. All but 1 of those teams is ranked in the top 25 in the country. The Cincinnati Bearcats are undefeated thus far, and play in the most respected conference in college basketball, but for some reason are not getting the respect they deserve from NCAA basketball experts. Like many of the other elite teams in the country, the Bearcats haven’t scheduled many tough games in the early going as they try to build...
AFC North hopes on the line for Baltimore
December 13, 2010
The Baltimore Ravens are one game behind division leading Pittsburgh in the AFC North, and will need to win out and hope the Steelers lose one or two more to take the title. Despite the fact that there is a 3 game difference in the win column between the Ravens and the Houston Texans, this game will be much more competitive than many NFL experts are predicting. Baltimore is a 3 point favorite in most sportsbooks for this Monday Night match-up, but to me that shows that Houston is still considered...
Bears host Patriots in Battle of NFL’s BEST!
December 12, 2010
The most intriguing match-up this Sunday is without question the game between the Chicago Bears and the New England Patriots. As of today, both teams are exceeding NFL predictions prior to the start of the season, but the Bears are playing at a level that no one thought they could achieve this year. Last years 7-9 record had football experts scratching their heads. They were expected to be a much better team with Jay Cutler at the helm of this offense, but they could never seem to get things going. Things...
