Bowl Series Picks: Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Louisville Cardinals

Orange Bowl, Jan. 2 – Louisville and Wake Forest – Two interesting BCS teams that are kind of an afterthought in the national talk.

Wake Forest came from absolutely nowhere this season to win the ACC, and they did it with a run-focused offense that is strange to say the least, and a disciplined defense [...]

Bowl Series Picks: Boise St. Broncos vs Oklahoma Sooners

Fiesta Bowl, Jan.1 – Boise State and Oklahoma – This is easily the game I am most excited about. Boise State comes into the game with a huge chip on their shoulder, but without a lot of national respect.

The BCS crashers are eight-point underdogs, and that spread seems likely to grow before the end of the year [...]

Bowl Series Picks: Virginia Tech Hokies vs Georgia Bulldogs

Chick-fil-A Bowl, Dec. 30 – Virginia Tech and Georgia – Both of these teams have struggled at times this year, but they are both playing very well down the stretch.

This will be the showdown between the Big Ten and the SEC [...]

Monday Night Football Picks: Dallas Cowboys vs Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia +7 vs Dallas. I have been waiting for the Cowboys to lose and this might be the week on MNF Christmas. You really have to give credit to the Eagles for doing what they have. These two hate each other [...]

NHL Picks: Ottawa Senators vs Chicago Blackhawks

J. Williams and A. Babchuk scored goals to help the Hurricanes beat Philadelphia 2-1 on Tuesday night to hand the Flyers their franchise-record 7th straight loss [...]

NFL Week 16: New England Patriots vs Jacksonville Jaguars

The Patriots usually play well in December and there is always a chance the Jaguars won’t show up, they do that once in a while [...]

NFL Week 16: Kansas City Chiefs vs Oakland Raiders

A. Brooks, still looking for his first win as the Raiders’ starting QB, will get another chance Saturday night against the Kansas City Chiefs at McAfee Coliseum. Only a month ago, the Cincinnati Bengals looked like they were on the verge of collapsing [...]
