Championship round predictions

This weeks championship games have some of the best storylines that you will ever see for football games. The Patriots and the Colts has always been a huge rivalry but Peyton Manning is finally looking to advance to the super bowl for the first time in his career. The Saints vs Bears storyline might be even better with the Saints representing hope for the city of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. There is no telling how crazy New Orleans would be if the Saints make the super bowl. Here are my championship game picks.

Saints 24 Bears 17

Patriots 21 Colts 24

Divisional Playoffs thoughts

Sorry I couldn't get to my predictions this week I try the best to do everything I can to get my picks in on time but sometimes it doesn't work out. Now back to the games. The Bears showed that they can score on offense beating the Seahawks 27-24. Rex Grossman didn't look all that bad and Thomas Jones had two touchdowns and 70 yards. The Patriots look terrible against the Chargers as Tom Brady looks very confused and Ladainian Tomlinson is running all over the Patriots defense. Shawne Merriman though has been suprisingly quite this game and hasn't done that much yet. Here is my potential outcome after watching some of the game.


Patriots 13 Chargers 28

Wild Card game predictions

The playoffs are finally here and lots of crazy things happened for some teams to get to this point. The Chiefs had to beat the Jaguars and then got in because the Titans,Bengals and Broncos all lost their games. This was a crazy season and we can only hope the playoffs are even better. Here are my wild card game predictions.

Last Week: 10-6

Regular Season totals: 153-102

Chiefs 28 Colts 24

Cowboys 21 Seahawks 24

Jets 13 Patriots 35

Giants 20 Eagles 28

Week 17 Predictions

This could be the hardest week to predict all season. Lots of teams give up now and teams with horrible records could finish on a good note with a win. It is a time where teams can clinch wild card spots. The Broncos seem in good shape as Jay Cutler has made Mike Shanahan look smart for starting him over Jake Plummer. The Jets could also clinch with a win over the Raiders. Here are my week 17 picks.

Week 16 Predictions

The wild card seeds for the playoffs really opened up last week as anybody has a chance to get one. The Jaguars held the Titans to under 100 total yards of offense and lost the game. This still keeps teams with 7-7 records alive to get a playoff birth. Another huge game was the Eagles beating the Giants. The Eagles control there own destiny now and could possibly win the division if they beat the Cowboys this week. Here are my week 16 picks.

Game of the Weak: Vikings vs Packers: This could be Brett Favre's last game at home but this time of year neither of these teams have any thing to play for.

Game of the Week: Eagles vs Cowboys: The winner will probably go on and win the NFC east.

Last Week: 9-7

Overall: 133-90

Week 15 Predictions

Last week was the week of record breakers. Devin Hester broke the record for the most return touchdowns in a season with six. Not to be outdone, Ladainian Tomlinson scored his 29th touchdown of the season breaking the record of 28 held by Shaun Alexander. Teams that are fighting for there playoff lives. The Jaguars ran all over the Colts and won 44-17. Jaguars rookie Maurice Jones-Drew is making a case for why he should be in the rookie of the year hunt. Maurice is averaging over six yards a carry and has 12 touchdowns. Here are my week 15 picks.

Game of the Weak: Lions vs Packers: If Matt Millen isn't fired by the end of this year, I have no clue what the Lions are thinking.

Game of the Week: Eagles vs Giants: The last game went down to the wire. Now both teams are fighting for there playoff lives.

Week 14 Fantasy Report

This year has been very deep for points in fantasy football. Derek Anderson who nobody even heard of about a week ago threw two touchdowns and 80 rushing yards in a Browns win. LaDanian Tomlinson is on pace to shatter the single season touchdown record. LT already has 26 with three games to go. Here are my week 14 fantasy studs.

QB: Vince Young vs Texans: Vince is coming back to play in his hometown and he has a chip on his shoulder to prove that he was deserving of the first overall pick.

RB: Frank Gore vs Packers: Frank has had a great year so far. Against a bad Packers defense, that trend should continue.

WR: Roy Williams vs Vikings: Roy has been the only consistent player on the Lions this year. The Vikings pass defense has been bad all year. You do the math.

TE: Kellen Winslow vs Steelers: The Steelers defense is really banged up and Winslow is having a great year.

K: Rob Bironas vs Texans: Rob has been hot lately and the Titans should give him tons of opportunities on Sunday

DST:Bengals vs Raiders: The Bengals have played good defense the past few weeks. A horrible Raiders defense should help that streak continue.

Week 14 Predictions

Last week lots of games came down to the very end and were decided by field goals. The Seahawks beat the Broncos in Denver on a Josh Brown field goal with five seconds left. Rob Bironas helped the Titans beat the Colts with a 60 yard field goal with one second left. Another thought is that Vince Young is quietly making himself a candidate for rookie of the year. Vince has led the Titans to comeback wins the last two weeks. He is also doing better at throwing the ball then lots of scouts said. Here are my week 14 picks.

Game of the Weak: Browns vs Steelers: This should be a very low scoring game with lots of turnovers.

Game of the Week: Broncos vs Chargers: LT should have a big game but Shawne Merriman could be the difference for the Chargers.

Week 13 Fantasy Report

Last week was great for all fantasy owners considering everybody was scoring points. Tony Romo was worth over 40 in most leagues and Matt Leinart had a great day throwing for more than 400 yards. Not to be outdone, it was another great day from LT who got three touchdowns including one passing. Here are my fantasy studs.

QB:Steve McNair vs Bengals: The Ravens offense has improved and the Bengals are 32nd against the pass.

RB: Larry Johnson vs Browns: The Browns are awful against the run and LJ leads the league in yards and he has scored over 15 touchdowns also.

WR: Andre Johnson vs Raiders: If David Carr can get time to throw the ball Andre would be leading the league in yards and receptions.

TE: Ben Watson vs Lions: Ben has scored a touchdown against every NFC North team this season. This trend should continue.

K: Jeff Wilkins vs Cardinals: This game should be a shootout and Jeff should see tons of oppurtunities.

DST: Chargers vs Bills: Shawne Merriman is back and the Chargers have looked solid even without him playing.

Week 13 Predictions

This week there for the first time this year a team could already clinch a playoff birth. If the Baltimore Ravens defeat the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens would then be playing for homefield advantage. The Bears are in excellent shape as well if they beat the Vikings which would make it almost a sure thing that the Bears win the division. Here are my week 13 picks.

Game of the Weak: Texans vs Raiders : Like there was a choice

Game of the Week: Ravens vs Bengals: Divisional rivalry with great offense and excellent defense.

Last Week: 12-4

Week 12 Fantasy Report

This is a big week for all fantasy football players. You have to turn in your final lineup on Thursday for the first time this year which some owners might not be able to do. But with lots of bad matchups it could be a good week. Here are my fantasy studs.

QB: Tony Romo vs Bucs- Tony has played solid since startins but the Bucs defense is bad this year.

RB: Frank Gore vs Rams: Frank has played great this season and the Rams awful run defense shouldn't stop it.

WR: Chad Johnson vs Browns: Ocho Cinco is back after two huge games. Now he plays the Browns.

TE: Antonio Gates vs Raiders: The Chargers are showing a great passing attack and Gates is the main atraction.

K:Josh Brown vs Packers:This should be a high scoring affair with lots of oppurtunities for Josh.

DST: Chargers vs Raiders: Enough said

Week 12 Predictions

Last Week there were lots of season ending injuries for star players. Donavan McNabb tore his ACL and is being replaced by Jeff Garcia. If the Jaguars were banged up on defense before Donovin Darius is now out for the season with a broken leg and is going to be replaced by Gerald Sensabaugh. Here are my week 12 predictions

Game of the Weak: Dolphins vs Lions: Let the "Fire Millen" chants start now.

Game of the Week: Bears vs Patriots: Two of the best teams in the league going at it? Nothing better

Last Week: 10-6

Fantasy Football Report week 11

The whole fantasy football season so far has played out based on how well you draft your team.

If you were one of the people who drafted LaDanian Tomlinson in the first round you are probably winning your league. Early in the season lots of Quarterbacks stepped up and people would have thought you were a genius for picking Rex Grossman in the 10th round. Here are my fantasy studs of the week.

QB: Seneca Wallace vs 49ers: Seneca has been playing well and the 49ers defense shouldn't stop that trend.

RB:Willie Parker vs Browns: Willie had a monster game getting over 200 yards last week and the Browns are lot worse then the Saints

WR: Marques Colston vs Bengals: In a shootout like this everyone especially someone like Colston should get at least one touchdown.

TE:Ben Watson vs Packers: Ben is due for a big game and this should be a shootout.

K:David Akers vs Titans: The Eagles should score a ton of points which should give David lots of chances.

DST:Bears vs Jets: Great defense vs young offensive line= loads of points.

Week 11 Predictions

This year there have been many quarterback controversies brewing around the league. With Trent Green coming back from injury many people are wondering if the Chiefs should replace Damon Huard who has done great with a rating of over 100. All the Redskin fans calling for Jason Campbell get there wish this week as he gets his 1st career NFL start. Another big story is the impact of rookie corner back Devin Hester. He hasn't gotten to play corner back but he is showing that he is definitely a pro bowl return man. Here are my week 11 picks.

Game of the Weak: Lions vs Cardinals: 3 combined wins. Need I say more?

Game of the Week: Chargers vs Broncos: It's a tight division race in the AFC west and the winner has a one game lead.

Last Week: 8-8

Week 10 Predictions

Every team has no played eight games which means that the season is halfway over. After the Bears shockingly lost to the Dolphins at home, the Colts are the only undefeated team left. Here are my mid season top five and award winners.



Top Five:
1.Colts: They will always show up on offense but Bob Sanders returning helps out a lot.
2. Chargers: Merriman may be out another three weeks but as long as LT is there they should be pretty good.
3. Bears: The Dolphins game wasn't pretty but they have still looked pretty good this season.
4. Patriots: They lost to the Colts at home but after losing a lot of key players Tom Brady can make anybody a star.
5. Giants: The Giants are battling some defensive injuries but there offense should keep them in lots of games.


Bottom five:
28. Lions: Roy Williams is right they are the best 2-6 team in football.
29.Dolphins: Beating the Bears was what people expected from there trend super bowl pick.
30.Titans: The Titans are playing for the future so watch for LenDale White to be the starting running back by the end of the year.
31. Raiders: The defense isn't bad but the offense is a whole other story.
32. Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald will give them one of there much needed weapons back.



MVP: LaDanian Tomlinson RB Chargers: LT is having a great season for the impressive Chargers.
Rookie of the year: Marques Colston WR Saints: I don't think this is what the Saints expected out of a seventh round pick from Hofstra.
Defensive Player of the year: Ray Lewis LB Ravens: Ray is one of the best leaders in the league and he is doing it for the best defense in the league.


Game of the Weak: Ravens vs Titans: If you like offense this isn't the game for you.

Game of the Week: Bears vs Giants: The best teams in the NFC are battling for homefield in the playoffs. Can it get any better?

Fantasy Football week 9 report

Most of the games last week were very difficult matchups this one is the exact opposite. If LaDainian Tomlinson needed to play better he is going against the Browns this week. LT should put up around two TD's and 150 plus total yards. Peyton Manning was also going against a supposable very stingy Broncos secondary but he torched them last week. He is now going against the Patriots and what should be an easier matchup. Here are my week 9 fantasy studs.



QB: Michael Vick vs Lions- Vick has played great lately and a banged up Lions defense should make him look even better.
RB: LaDainian Tomlinson vs Browns- If you were one of the people that had two people pass over this guy in your draft, you should be thanking them for matchups like this.
WR: Terrell Owens vs Redskins- The Redskins secondary is banged up and T.O. thinks that he and Tony Romo are really going to work.
TE: Alge Crumpler vs Lions- See Michael Vick
K: Adam Vinateri vs Patriots- This should be a shootout and Adam always is money when the game is on the line.
DST: Chargers vs Browns- Even without Merriman this defense is still really good.

Week 9 Predictions

Last week lots of games were decided by big performances by lots of key players. Larry Johnson finally had a game that everybody thought he would have getting four touchdowns in a key win over the Seahawks. LaDanian Tomlinson also scored four touchdowns but also had over 200 total yards in a win against the Rams. The best performance might have been by Reggie Wayne who had 10 catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns against the Broncos. Here are my week 9 picks.



Game of the Weak: Packers vs Bills- This one could be a shootout but it won’t be pretty.


Game of the Week: Colts vs Patriots- Two top five teams in the league are playing. Did I mention that the quarterbacks aren’t that bad?




Last Week: 6-8
Overall- 69-45



Falcons 35 Lions 13

Fantasy Football week 8 report

There are a lot of very difficult matchups this week with teams with lots of fantasy starters playing tough defenses. Peyton Manning has done great all year but he is now playing against the Broncos who only allow seven points per game. Steven Jackson has been one of the best running backs this season and is in the top 10 in the league in yards. He is now playing the best the best run defense in the league in the Chargers. Here are my week 8 fantasy studs.


Fantasy Studs

QB: Brett Favre vs Cardinals- The Cardinals have been solid on defense but Brett is due for a good game.
RB: Brian Westbrook vs Jaguars- Brian has done great all year and the Jags have a lot of holes on defense.
WR: Andre Johnson vs Titans- Andre has had a great year so far and playing against the Titans shouldn't hurt.
TE: Heath Miller vs Raiders- With Big Ben getting back Heath will definitely benifit from his presence.
K: Neil Rackers vs Packers- He hasn't done as good as last year but Neil should get back on track this game.
DST: Steelers vs Raiders- The Raiders could but up some points but this isn't the Cardinals.

Week 8 Predictions

Last week almost half of the games came down to last minute field goals. Just ask the Philadelphia Eagles. The last two weeks the Eagles lost by field goals on the very last play. Matt Bryant drilled a 62 yard field goal against the Eagles last week but hadn't made one over 30 all year. There are still two unbeaten teams in the Bears and the Colts but with the Raiders winning last week,there isn't a winless team remaining. Here are my week 8 picks.


Game of the Weak: Cardinals vs Packers- Both of these teams look alright on paper but on the field is another story.

Game of the Week: Falcons vs Bengals- Both of these teams came of dramatic home victories and the Deangelo Hall Chad Johnson matchup makes it even better.


Last Week: 5-8
Overall: 63-37


Cardinals 21 Packers 27
Falcons 17 Bengals 21
Ravens 17 Saints 20
Texans 23 Titans 14
Jaguars 13 Eagles 28

Fantasy Football week 7 report

So far this season has all about the matchups. Lots of people thought Rex Grossman against the Cardinals was a great matchup but it turned out to be an awful one. Rex threw four interceptions and fumbled twice. But against a tough Chargers defense Alex Smith threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Here are my week 7 fantasy studs.


QB:Peyton Manning vs Redskins: The Redskins are banged up on defense and Peyton will pick them apart.
RB: Edgerrin James vs Raiders: Edge had an awful game last week but that should change against the worst run defense in the league.
WR: Steve Smith vs Bengals: Steve has played great all season but an older Bengals secondary won't be able to stop him.
TE:Antonio Gates vs Chiefs: The emergence of Phillip Rivers has returned Gates to becoming a reliable threat.
K:Jason Elam vs Browns: The Broncos haven't put up a ton of points but he should get oppurtunities.
DST:Cardinals vs Raiders: There playing the Raiders what do you expect?
