College Football Prediction Results

Spread Results: 1-2

Season Spread Results: 6-8

Winner Results: 1-2

Season Winner Results: 7-7

UNC at Georgia Tech: The Tar Heels defense looked like they had tar on their heels as the Yellow Jackets ran all over their defense.

#15 TCU at Clemson: Great game with TCU proving they belong in the top 25.

TTU at #17 Houston: An offensive game as I expected, but Houston came out on top quieting critics, like myself, showing their offense can compete with the anyone's in the country.

Extra....

Miami looked terrible. I don't know if it was because it was rainy and 50 degrees in Virginia. We'll find out next week against Oklahoma.

USF over FSU. Everyone is criticizing the Seminoles and forgetting that USF was ranked #2 just two years ago. That game wasn't surprising to me at all.

California looked ahead to USC and got stomped by Oregon. Cali. better get their heads strait before next week.

Even if you're a Gator hator you got to be hoping Tim Tebow is okay. He's a great guy and good thing Florida has a week off because next up for them is LSU.


NFL Picks

Washington at Detroit: The Lions will finally win a game today. They played even with the Vikings in the first half last week while the Redskins barely pulled out a win against the Rams.

Green Bay at St. Louis: After losing to the Bengals last week the Packers are looking for a bounce back game this week. Packers all the way and take the six point spread.

San Francisco at Minnesota: In the battle of unbeatens take the Vikings, but not the six point spread. The games in the Metrodome and the Vikings are nearly unbeatable there.

Atlanta at New England: The Falcons look great while the Pats look rusty. Somehow the Patriots are favored by four, but I'm still picking them. Never count out the hoody.

Titans at Jets: Pick Tennessee! Even though they're 0-2 and the Jets are 2-0 and at home, the Titans are still one of the top five talented teams in the league. They may be the best 0-2 team ever.

Kansas City at Philly: Eagles by eight, I'm taking it. The Cheifs stink and even without McNab the Eagles offense will throw all over KC. The Wild dog, I mean Wild cat, offense will be in full swing today with Vick.

Giants at Bucs: Tampa should be renamed to the Tampa Bay Terribles. Giants cover the six point spread.

Browns at Ravens: Ravens will win but not by 14. Rivalry games are almost always closer than expected.

Jags at Texans: Houston by four is a safe bet. They beat the Titans last week and Jacksonville is no where near the Titans talent.

Saints at Bills: New Orleans by six. The Saints will come marching in and down the field all day long.

Bears at Seahawks: Chicago by three is smart. Seattle has too many injuries. Even if Hassleback does play those ribs won't allow him to throw the ball like he normally does.

Miami at San Diego: The Dolphins have won seven strait against the Chargers, but that record will get snapped today. SD by six for sure.

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati: Steelers had a tough loss last week while the Bengals pulled out a win in GB. None of that matter this week. Pittsburgh will dominate and easily cover the four point spread.

Denver at Oakland: Denver will win by more than three. It will be close, but JaMarcus Russel will find a way to lose it for the Raiders.

Colts at Cards: This will be the most exciting game of the week. All offense, no defense. I'm taking the Colts, I don't think Arizona will show up in the second half.

Carolina at Dallas: The Panthers will be 0-3 after this one. I don't think the Cowboys will cover the nine point spread, though.

College Football Picks

#22 North Carolina at Georgia Tech: No way Georgia Tech loses this one. Their triple option will give the Tar Heel defense trouble. Take the three point spread and count on Butch Davis and UNC to be exposed showing they're over rated.

#15 TCU at Clemson: I like Clemson over LT's alumni. They've played some tough games this year and after their heart breaking loss to Gerogia Tech, Clemson will come out strong to give their fans something to be proud about. Take the two point spread.

Texas Tech at #17 Houston: TTU will win this game. Sure Houston beat Oklahoma State earlier in the year, but Texas Tech played well in their loss at Texas and Houston is no where near Texas' caliber, and neither is OSU. A lot of scoring in this one, and when there's a lot of scoring the Red Raiders win.

Games to Watch

#9 Miami at #11 Virginia Tech: ACC title rematch? Is the U all the way back? Definitely the game of the day.

South Florida at # 18 Florida State: USF hasn't played anyone good this year so they haven't got any recognition. FSU is very inconsistent. Upset alert, only reason I'm not calling it is because I haven't seen USF yet this year.

#6 California at Oregon: Cali isn't used to being rated so high and Oregon's looking to redeem that Boise State loss. This one's interesting.

NFL Prediction Results

Spread Results: 7-9

Season Spread Results: 17-15

Winner Results: 9-7

Season Winner Results: 21-11

Carolina at Atlanta; The Panthers looked a lot better this week but the Falcons are one of the best teams in the NFL.

Minnesota at Detroit; It was close in the first half, but the Lions defense couldn’t contain AP forever. Combine his rushing with Favre completing all but four passes without throwing an interception, that’s a winning formula.

Cincinnati at Green Bay; The Bengals look a lot better than expected this year and get a huge win to bolster their confidence with the Steelers coming to town next week. Aaron Rodgers is starting a bad pattern early in his career, he piles on the stats but can't win games.

Houston at Tennessee; The biggest shock to me is the Titans at 0-2. I have confidence they will still make the playoffs, they have a very talented team they’ve just had bad luck the first two weeks.

Oakland at Kansas City; Two bad teams, someone had to win and McFadden’s a big time runner for the Raiders. JaMarcus Russell is the least deserving person in the world to make that salary. And yes he makes that salary, he doesn’t earn it.

New England at NY Jets; The Jets backed up their words and have one of the best teams in the league. The Patriots and Tom Brady look rusty but I expect them to pick it back up.

New Orleans at Philadelphia; The Saints led by Drew Brees may break all offensive season records for a single season the way they 're going this year. The Eagles miss McNab. That guy can never stay healthy.

St. Louis at Washington; Boooooring! Two terrible teams going no where. The Redskins better pick it up or head coach Jim Zorn will be looking for a new job.

Arizona at Jacksonville; Kurt Warner finished with the best completion percentage for a game in history. I guess the Cardinals felt like playing this week again.

Seattle at San Francisco; Singletary has the 49ers looking good again. Well, that and the Seahawks having no rush defense and their quarterback never being able to stay healthy.

Tampa Bay at Buffalo; The Bucs defense looks like they would be better matched up against college teams. A win and a TD for TO and everything is well in Buffalo.

Pittsburgh at Chicago; Cutler cut up the Polamalu less Steelers defense in a hard hitting battle royal. Two missed field goals and a dropped TD reception for Santonio Holmes gave Pittsburgh something they hadn’t felt in a long time, a loss.

Baltimore at San Diego; The Ravens offense is potent, and that’s scary considering how tough their defense is every year. These two might meet again in the playoffs.

Cleveland at Denver; The Browns look as bad as ever and Brady Quinn’s not helping. I thought the Broncos would be the worst team in the league this year but right now they’re 2-0.

NY Giants at Dallas; The Cowboys look a lot better than I expected and that stadium is amazing. It’s sad when there are so many homeless and hungry people in the world and a billion dollars is spent on a stadium. That’s almost as sad as Tony Romo’s skills. The Cowboys organization needs to wake up and realize he’ll never be Troy Aikman.

Indianapolis at Miami; The Dolphins coaching staff had the right idea. Just run the ball and keep Peyton Manning off the field as long as possible. It would have worked if the Dolphins defense would have shown up.

College Football Prediction Results

Spread Results: 3-3

Season Spread Results: 5-6

Winner Results: 4-2

Season Winner Results: 6-5

Northern Illinois at Purdue; Somehow NIU gets blown out by Western Illinois but comes into Purdue and wins. Sometimes sports just make no sense.

Temple at Penn State; As I predicted the Nittany Lions couldn’t cover their spread again but won another easy game.

California at Minnesota; The Golden Bears barely beat the spread but still looked like a top ten team by going into Minnesota and coming out with no real scare.

Tennessee at Florida; I should have went with my gut here for the spread. Rivalry in conference match ups are almost always closer than expected.

USC at Washington; I didn’t have the guts to pick Washington to win even though I had a feeling. Recurring theme… go with your gut when picking spreads.

Ohio State at Toledo; OSU scored early and often and shut out Toledo’s high powered offense. I guess they’re not so high powered after all.

Two Down, Two to Go

It’s all about the U.

The national lime light is glaring in Miami as the Canes tore apart Georgia Tech exposing the Yellow Jackets yellow bellies.

UM’s defense swarmed the Yellow Jackets making Georgia Tech look soft and the Jacory Harris led offense was unstoppable.

I thought this would be a high scoring affair on both sides, but Miami’s defense answered last year’s disappointing performance against GT.

Last night’s showing proved the Canes have an aggressive attitude adjusted for winning, taking on the personality of their head coach Randy Shannon.

It doesn’t get any easier in the next two weeks with Miami traveling to Virginia Tech next in what could be a preview of the ACC title game. After Virginia Tech the Oklahoma Sooners come to Miami.

College Football Predictions

Beware of the blow out spreads this week.

Northern Illinois at Purdue; Take the 12 point spread for Purdue. NIU was stomped on last week 41-7 by Western Illinois. Both teams are 1-1 but Purdue's lost came in Oregon 38-36. The Boilermakers know how to put up points and aren't scared to run up the score.

Temple at Penn State; Do not take the 30 point spread. The Nittany Lions haven't proven they can put up a lot of points on an opponent yet this year. Last week they didn't cover their 28 point spread and I don't expect them to this week either. No upset, but no covering the spread.

California at Minnesota; Take the 13 point spread. The Golden Bears already won big twice this season and I don't think Golden Gophers are any match for Golden Bears.

Tennessee at Florida; Normally in a rivalry game you should never take the huge spread, but i would take the 30 points for Florida here. Not only are the Gators great, but the Volunteers are terrible and Lane Kiffin's preseason trash talk isn't going to help the cause. Tennessee has a solid defense with Lane's mastermind father as the coordinator, but that Florida defense will bring in a couple scores not to mention their special teams that Urban Meyer focuses on making them oh so special.

USC at Washington; Here's a rivalry where you should not take the spread. The Trojans are picked to win by 19, but Washington has two coaches that use to be on USC's staff. Add that with the Trojans starting quarterback being hurt, their star receiver out, and being on the road equals pulling out the win but not covering the 19 point spread.

Ohio State at Toledo; The Buckeyes couldn't blow out Navy and lost to USC. They're picked to win by 21 today, but Toledo has a high powered offense. OSU will win, but that spreads too high.

Games to Watch

These games are too close to call but will be fun match ups.

East Carolina at North Carolina; UNC nearly lost last week at Connecticut and now they're in a cross town rivalry game against a talented ECU team looking to knock the Tar Heels out of the top 25.

Boston College at Clemson; BC won two blow outs and Clemson lost by a field goal against Georgia Tech. Should be a great ACC matchup.

Nebraska at Virginia Tech; I haven't got a chance to see either team play so I didn't want to pick but this looks like the game of the day.

Utah at Oregon; Oregon pulled out a victory against Purdue last week and now look to take out their first week loss against Boise State and get back into the top 25 by thrashing ranked Utah. This will be a well played contest.

Michigan State at Notre Dame; This is the rebound game for both teams. The Fighting Irish need this win to save Charlie Weis' job after losing to Michigan last week. The Spartans look to come back strong after losing to Central Michigan.

Navy at Pittsburgh; Navy played OSU tough and looks to show it was no fluke in Pittsburgh.

Florida State at BYU; FSU lost in the last second to UM then nearly lost to an FBS team last week. They have a chance to redeem their season by defeating #7 BYU. The Seminoles won't go down without a fight.

Texas Tech at Texas; The Longhorns are picked by 18 and I think that's too high against Texas Tech. It's a rivalry game and the Red Raiders are a high powered offense. I like Texas but don't want to pick the spread because I haven't seen TTU play yet this season.

NFL Playoff Prediction

I forgot to write my playoff prediction blog!

Here it is with seeding and all.

AFC

1. San Diego Chargers, weak division equals lots of wins.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

3. New England Patriots

4. Tennessee Titans

5. Baltimore Ravens

6. New York Jets

Wild Card Week- Pats stomp Jets. Titans get revenge from last year's playoffs against Ravens.

Divisional- Steelers
over Pats, New England's defense has declined in talent and Ben is getting better every game. Titans over Chargers.

Championship- Steelers
back in the Super Bowl beating up those Titans and waving the Terrible Towel in their face.

NFC

1. Seattle Seahawks, weak division equals lots of wins. Arizona is overrated.

2. New York Giants

3. Minnesota Vikings

4. New Orleans Saints

5. Atlanta Falcons

6. Green Bay Packers

Wildcard Week-Vikings over Packers... that would be fun. Saints over Falcons.

Divisional- Vikings get revenge on the Giants from the playoff blow out years ago. Saints over Seahawks.

Championship- Favre
gets to the Super Bowl over the Saints.

Super Bowl

Vikings over the Steelers. It kills me to say it being a Steelers fan, but Pittsburgh has no running game anymore. Favre can finally retire and gives the Packers arch nemesis their first Super Bowl title ever.

This is partly bias and wishful thinking on my part with the big game being down the street in Miami this year and me being a Steelers fan and my dad being a Vikings fan, but it sounds good right?

NFL Week 1 Recap

My Spread Results: 10-6

My Winner Results: 12-4

Titans at Steelers; Steelers got their revenge, but their running game was absent. Pittsburgh better pick that up or teams will focus on blitzing Ben who takes too many sacks as it is.

Cowboys at Bucs; Looks like it's going to be a long year in Tampa. The Cowboys offense looked great both running and passing. Let's see what they can do when they face a real NFL team, not one with a rookie head coach with a bunch of should be back ups and free agents. The only positive thing Tampa has is their Cadillac.

Vikings at Browns; Favre doesn't throw much, only when needed, and gives AP and Chester Taylor the ball all game. Let the defense do their part, shutting down the run and containing the pass. Sounds like a winning combination in Minnesota to me.

Lions at Saints; Drew Brees for MVP? Could be, but let's not jump to any conclusions, they did play the Lions.

Chiefs at Ravens; Baltimore's offense improved even more than I thought. If Pittsburgh doesn't figure out their running game the Ravens could steal the AFC North championship back because Baltimore looks like a deep, complete team.

Jets at Texans; Stop focusing on the rookie quarterback. The Jets have one of the top defenses in the league!

Dolphins at Falcons; It's going to be a tough year for those Phins with that schedule they face, especially when they have a weak offense. Atlanta will get past the first round of the play offs this year, mark my words. Not only is the offense highly skilled but their defense is underrated as well.

Broncos at Bengals; The most exciting game of the week. It will be the most exciting game for each of these teams this year because they both stink.

Jaguars at Colts; Indy's offense looked a little rusty, well except for Reggie Wayne. I think he'll be an MVP candidate this year and be in the top five in receptions. The Colts defense isn't very good so don't look for the Jags to do much this year if they could only put up 12. This was Jacksonville's chance to steal a game.

Redskins at Giants; Jason Campbell started off shaky but picked it up throughout the game. The Redskins season lies in his reliability. Giants have some giant talent. Barely got the spread right on this one.

Rams at Seahawks; Rams that bad or Seahawks that good? It's a little bit of both.

49ers at Cardinals; Arizona's right back to their old ways. They play with no heart until it counts and when the game's on the line sometimes turning it on isn't enough. Their Super Bowl run was a fluke. No defense equals no playoffs, but give the 49ers some credit they played hard and deserved the win.

Bears at Packers; Who needs Favre? Not Green Bay. Who needs Brian Urlacher? Well, Chicago does...big loss.

Bills at Patriots; I knew the Bills couldn't hold onto that lead. They never can on Monday Night Football. Looks like the Brady Bunch is back. Brady to Moss equals Montana to Rice.

Chargers at Raiders; San Diego almost blew it again early in the season. I don't know why they can't start a season off solid ever. Maybe they need a new training camp regiment. That and LT needs to back up his words when he says he's better than AP. 55 yards 1 TD or 180 yards and 3 TD's, which is better?

Expect all the offenses, especially the passing games, to look better in Week 2. Timing routes take some timing to get down.

NFL Predictions

Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers; Take the four point spread. Even though I don't think the Cowboys will be very good this year, I think the Bucs will be even worse. Tampa will have a quarterback controversy all season.

Philadelphia Eagles at Carolina Panthers; I like the Panthers to win. Both team's are solid but the Panthers are at home and Jake Delhomme is out to prove all the critics wrong about his inconsistencies.

Detroit Lions at New Orleans Saints; It's a big 13 point spread for the Saints, but I'd take it. The Lions are terrible and the Saints offense is one of the tops in the league.

Kansas City Chiefs at Baltimore Ravens; I like the Ravens to win, but don't take the 12 point spread. The Ravens offense has drastically improved with Joe Flacco at the helm, but they still don't put up many points.

New York Jets at Houston Texans; I'm taking the Jets in this one. Even with a rookie quarterback leading them, they still have a solid defense and before Brett Favre's arm fell off last season they were one of the best team's in the league. Plus, the Texans never live up to their expectations.

Miami Dolphins at Atlanta Falcons; Take the four point spread for Atlanta. This should be a great game but Atlanta's receiving core will over match the Dolphins secondary.

Denver Broncos at Cincinnati Bengals; It kills me to say it, but the Bengals by more than five is a smart bet. I predict the Broncos to be the worst team in the NFL this year.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts; Take the Colts by more than six. The Jags struggled last year and didn't improve anywhere this year. Look for the Colts' Reggie Wayne to have a breakout season establishing his self as one of the top receivers in the league.

Washington Redskins at New York Giants; I like the Giants, but not by more than six. Don't take the spread here. This will be a tough rivalry game and even though the Giants are much better in my mind it's still week one and they'll have to shake some rust off.

St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks; Another high spread, but I'd take Seattle by over seven. I expect the Seahawks to have a huge year and go to the playoffs. Matt Hassleback to T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a deadly combination.

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals; The Cardinals high powered offense will cover the six point spread. Arizona has a weak defense, but the 49ers have an even weaker offense.

Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers; I like the Packers to win, but don't take the spread. Another week one tough rivalry game. The Packers will pull it out in the end with Mr. Consistency Aaron Rodgers.

Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots; The Pats will win, but not by more than 11. The Bills have a great wide receiving core that will help out Trent Edwards and keep the game closer than expected.

and finally...

San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders; Take the Chargers by over nine. San Diego will win at least 11 this year and the Raiders will get lucky if they win four.

College Gameday Review

My Spread Prediction Results: 2-3

My Winner Results: 2-3

I'm usually good at this, but not this week. I guess I could do better if I just picked all the easy games on here like UF vs. Troy but that wouldn't be any fun.

Stanford Cardinals at Wake Forest Demon Deacons; Stanford came close but couldn't upset Wake Forest. The Cardinals' Andrew Luck and skill couldn't hold the 17-3 lead they jumped out to in the first half getting shout out 21-0 in the second half.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Michigan Wolverines; Michigan's rookie quarterback Tate Forcier looks like a star in the making and came out of no where with a huge day in the national spotlight. This game reminds me a lot of the UM vs. FSU game and not just because the score's were identical. It leaves you wondering whether these teams looked good because they are good or if it's because they're playing each other.

UCLA Bruins at Tennessee Volunteers; Lane Kiffin couldn't get Tennessee to focus on the task at hand and with the Volunteers traveling to Florida next week it's looking more and more like Kiffin will be a failure in both leagues as a head coach. Good thing he's young and has time to prove him self.

USC Trojans at Ohio State Buckeyes; Not such a sure bet after all. Both the young quarterbacks had highs and lows. OSU proved it has talent enough to face the best in the nation and with the close loss still stay in the hunt for the national title.

The Rest of Today's Action

North Carolina nearly got upset at Connecticut. Butch Davis built that football program up from being one of the worst in the NCAA but it's clear they still aren't elite. Their only safety net was the Tar Heels coming up with a safety in the final minutes.

Houston took out #5 Oklahoma State. Now the Oklahoma Sooners are back to their normal spot being the best in their state.

After that thrilling game the Seminoles played against the Hurricanes, FSU nearly lost to a sub division team Jacksonville State. JSU put up a good fight against Georgia Tech the week prior, but came up short as well. That's a tough schedule to start off the year with, especially for a sub division team. This either proves JSU is talented, or that the ACC is untalented. It's probably a little of both. I really wish Bobby Bowden would finally retire as FSU's head coach, he's really been hurting his legacy in recent years.




Today's Intriguing College Football Matchups

Syracuse Orange at Penn State Nittany Lions; Don't take the 28 spread for Penn State. Even though the game's in Nittany Lions territory, Syracuse's quarterback Greg Paulus is used to high pressure situations from his days being the starting point guard for Duke's basketball team. I still like Penn State to win it, just not by 28.

Stanford Cardinals at Wake Forest Demon Deacons; Don't be surprised if Stanford marches in and upsets Wake Forest, making the ACC look even worse than it already does after week one. There's talk of Stanford's quarterback Andrew Luck being an NFL prospect and with him the Cardinals will have skill and Luck on their side.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Michigan Wolverines; I think Notre Dame is finally back to a top ten contender and they'll prove it today in Michigan. Not that Michigan is any power house, but a blow out win will get the nation noticing the Fighting Irish.

UCLA Bruins at Tennessee Volunteers; Don't take the 11 point spread for Tennessee. The Volunteers face UF next week and will be looking slightly ahead after head coach Lane Griffin's comments about beating the Gators earlier this year. UCLA is a decent team, but I expect Griffin to refocus his team in the fourth quarter to pull out the victory by a touchdown.

And finally the big game...

USC Trojans at Ohio State Buckeyes; Or should I say the big blow out game? USC's true freshman quarterback Matt Barkley came out strong last week. I highly doubt Trojans head coach Pete Carrol would put his trust in a freshman if he didn't believe in him. I'd say Carrol's resume earns him some credit. After the Buckeyes nearly lost to Navy last week, I think it's a sure bet that they're over rated again this year and USC's talent will over match the Buckeyes. Final score: USC 38 OSU 10. Yes, take the seven point spread. It's the most guaranteed bet today.

Steelers vs. Titans; Revenge-full



Nothing like a game with meaning to start off the regular season!

The Titans owned the best record in football last year, 13-3, but the Steelers won the Super Bowl and are known as last year’s best team. The Steelers last loss was to the Titans, not counting the preseason of course. The Titans celebrated their win with a terrible towel stomp, something that’s etched in the minds of Steelers nation.

This will be a battle of will, determination, and one for pride. It will be a hard hitting, blue collared war between two of the best in the league. This could very possibly be the preview of the AFC Championship.

Prediction: Steelers 23, Titans 17. Look for both passing attacks to gain over 200 yards and look sharp, but each quarterback will throw an interception. I expect little running attacks from both sides with Tennessee gaining slightly more on the ground. The game will be decided through field position and the Steelers new returner Stefan Logan will help tremendously, along with the return of their left footed star punter Daniel Sepulveda. The nail in the coffin will come when Lendale White loses a fumble late in the game.

Starting The Football Season Right!

I know I’m late at getting this up…but that UM vs. FSU game was crazy! After that final ball was dropped I thought…this is an instant classic on ESPN for sure. And sure enough, Tuesday morning ESPN announced they would air the game as an instant classic. That game got football season truly started for a lot of people, especially down here in South Florida.

I was beaching it all day with my girlfriend and her girlfriend until I had to shower up and announce the FAU’s men’s soccer game. Afterwards I got home with a splitting headache, but took some Tylenol and laid in bed in the dark with nothing but the game on. No way was that sun and headache letting me miss UM vs. FSU!

This game proves that both schools are on the right track back to national recognition but there’s a lot to be concerned with on each side. Each team played terrible defense, so we know that’s a weakness that needs work. With the bad defense brings the question of how good those offenses really are and if they can march down the field that easy against defenders that actually know how to tackle and fill holes correctly.

We’ll learn soon enough if these teams are glorified high school squads or close to the national spotlight starting with Miami vs. Georgia Tech September 17.

Football Season Starts Off With A Hit
