ALDS Picks

I know there really isn't much to say about picking baseball. Teams get hot and are unbeatable and things are never as they seem. So without further delay, my picks!

Rangers vs. Rays - Experience is huge and the Rangers got it! Rangers in 4.


Detroit vs. New York - Yankees are too old this year and the boys from the D look like they could make it all the way. Tigers in 5

There you go, that's the ALDS as I see it. Stick around for my college football picks later today. I have some more stuff on the way as well. Be sure to watch the twitter page for a tweet-by-tweet of tomorrow's CMU game! Thanks for reading!

College Football Week 4

Here are my picks for a really interesting week in College Football!

#14 Arkansas @ #3 Alabama - This one will be close early, but the Tide are almost unbeatable at home. Alabama by 10

#7 Oklahoma State @ #8 Texas A&M - The big game of the week! State will be a tough opponent. Expect the ball to be flying and the score board to be burning! It will be an even match-up, but the 12th man will once again claim another victim. I have A&M by a field goal.

#11 Florida State @ #21 Clemson - A big road test for the Seminoles following that big home game. Clemson will be pumped at the chance of getting a win that could put them in the top 20. I expect a solid running game from the Tigers and a big win.

#2 LSU @ #16WVU - On the tail end of the Big East destruction, West Virginia will be looking to save face against the Tigers. It seems like it couple be easy at home, but there isn't a single player that can answer the call for the Mountaineers. It will be an easy road win for LSU.

#10 Oregon @ Arizona - Another test for the Ducks. It will be the first big game since the Cowboys classic with LSU. They will have trouble early due to Arizona's passing game, but the Wildcats won't last long. Oregon wins by 16.

Thanks for reading my picks! NFL on the way tomorrow!

Monday Night Football

     In a week where the Lions and Bills both soar to 2-0 records, we have an interesting little game between the Giants and the Rams. Both teams are facing what could be a 0-2 hole early in the season. For the Rams, it seems that the injury bug has caught up with them early and it could cost them greatly. On the other hand you have the Giants. A once glorious Super Bowl team that has now fallen off the face of the Earth.
     Naturally in football, the first thing we look at is the Quarterback. Both in this case have a lot to prove. Sam Bradford is still trying to show that he is a Quarterback of the future. He needs to do better than a near playoff birth in the worst division in football. Eli Manning still needs to prove that he is an elite Quarterback. Sure, he has a ring, but just because of that would you put him in front of Dan Marino? Of course not. Though this game doesn't really appeal at first, I still plays a key role in the development of these two teams this season and their Quarterbacks.
      Tonight I expect a hard fought game. Neither offense will be too spectacular, but the Giant's offense will out shine the Ram's. Without Steven Jackson, the Ram's offense will have to ride on Bradford's hurt arm. This gives the Giant's defense all it needs to make plenty of stops and allowing them to cruse to the 28-10 win.

So that's a wrap folks! NFL Division predictions will be on their way soon! Thanks for reading!

Week 3 Picks!

Sorry about not getting a whole slate of picks out earlier, but I will give you my insight into tonight's games.


#1Oklahoma vs #5Florida State - I give a puncher's chance to the Seminoles just because they are at home, but you can't over look the Sooners. I see Landry Jones finding holes in the 'Nole's defense and winning 31-21.

#17Ohio State vs. Miami- Miami will be hungry in this one and Jacorey Harris will not throw so many picks at home. I have the 'Canes in a close one 24-21.

#22 Arizona State vs. Illinois- A great game from the ASU defense as they roll to a 31- 14 win.

#6Stanford vs. Arizona - A tough PAC-12 road opener for Andrew Luck. He will make a few mistakes, but not enough to make a big difference. Stanford wins a close on 28-17

That's it for this weeks picks! NFL picks will be up tomorrow!

Week Two Reaction

What a week! The second week of this young college football season really packed a punch! From Michigan to Alabama, there was plenty of good action!

1. ND at Michigan – What a game! Three scores in the final minute and change!  At first it looked like it was going to be all Irish. I was getting ready to eat my words about the Irish this year. Then, before I knew it, Michigan showed some pride and brought it back. What ensued was one of the best 4th quarters we will see this year…or was it? I have to say that sloppiness by both teams made this game the way it was. Blatant turnovers by both the Irish and Wolverines had this game flopping like a fish. Two plays that really stood out to me as just bad where the two big defensive breakdowns in the secondary. When Notre dame scored their final touchdown you needed binoculars to see where the Michigan defense was. On Notre Dame’s side, there was at least four missed tackles that I’m sure I’ve seen high school players make. All in all, I am not impressed by either of these teams. Notre Dame was highly over rated to begin with and is probably heading for a 7-5 season. Michigan will be gaining hype soon because I’m sure they will be getting out to a 6-0, all of them over subpar teams. So please don’t think or say that Michigan is going to the Rose Bowl because I’m sure that their losing in East Lansing on October 15^th.

2. Return of the MAC – What a weekend for the MAC! They showed up some big opponents this week! Now, I know CMU and Toledo didn’t put up W’s, but you have to applaud the scares they put into Kentucky and Ohio State. Toledo put OSU on the ropes from the beginning. They were so close, but that tough Ohio State defense shut them down in crunch time. In CMU’s case, Radcliff finally looked like the quarterback everyone wanted. He was leading the Chips on long methodical drives and scoring plays. By the time that the 2^nd half rolled around Kentucky put pressure on the Chips and forced them to become a quicker paced offense and before CMU knew it the Wildcats passed them. Though the ending wasn’t perfect, both teams have to be proud of how they played. To me, the MAC is starting to become a tougher conference. They aren’t the Big 10 or anything, but they are now starting to be more than a blow out for major teams. I 

hope that soon, people can respect the MAC as a legitimist Mid Major and give all the teams a little respect.  

3. SEC Dominance- Once again, the Tide showed us how much better the SEC is than everyone else by going into Penn State’s house and straight up beating them. It was a hard fought game, but it’s hard to deny that the SEC is not the best. It is more than likely that they will be putting up their 6^th straight national championship to the displeasure of many. Maybe I’m wrong… I hope I am.

Game Picking

It looked like another solid week from Cody and I. We really need to get down to business soon because there are a lot of big games to come.
