There will be two upsets this weekend. Cards and Jets win!

I am going to keep this weeks picks short and sweet. Last week I went 2-2 which is terrible for me but I did call the upset of the week with the Ravens over Patriots pick.

So this week I am picking two upsets. The Cards will out score the Saints. You never bet against Kurt Warner in the playoffs. I will probably have to do that next week when they face the Vikings. So with that being said you gather I am picking the Vikings over the Cowboys. That's not my upset pick even though everyone and there sister are on the Cowboys band wagon.

My other upset pick is the Jets going into San Diego and stunning the red hot Chargers. I will probably be the only one on the web talking about sports with this pick but talk to me after the game. If I have to say so myself I am one of the best at picking upsets.

Baltimore will play well but the Colts have been there and done that. They will win this game by seven probably and move on to the championship game of the AFC.

Let the games begin!

The Wildcard rematch bowl let the playoffs begin and my picks

Well it has all come down to a weekend of rematches in the NFL. This is a good time to be a sports fan and there will be some great games this weekend. I am going to give you my picks for the weekend and why. There are only 4 games and I will go at least 3-1 if not 4-0.

It takes a lot of wisdom and a keen knowledge of sports psychology as well to pick these games right each and every week. The past two weeks I have been on vacation and so I didn't do my picks but for the season my picks were about 75% right.

Let's take a look at the first game the Jets and the Bengals. The Jets made this team look like a bunch of high schoolers the way they dismantled the Bengals. This week will be totally different the Bengals will be able to run and throw the ball. The Jets are going to have to ask Sanchez to make some big plays for them and he will end up with at least two picks in this game. The Bengals will win 21-10

What do you know here's another game where the team that lost last week was shut out. Philly did what they could early and then decided to shut things down. You will see a lot more of Michael Vick than you saw in the regular season. McNabb will be sharp and Jackson will have at least two big scores. Dallas will not perform up to par under the pressure and Romo will have 3 turnovers. The Eagles will win 31-14

This is the only game this weekend that is not a rematch from last week. The Patriots are not the Patriots of old and niether are the Ravens. What I feel the difference will be in this game is Baltimores ability to move the ball against the Patriots defense. The Ravens will get pressure on Brady and Joe Flacco and Derrick Mason will have big days. This is the upset of the weekend. The Ravens will win 20-17 giving Brady his first home playoff loss.

Rematch number 3. A lot of people are on the Packers band wagon and they have played very well in the second half of the season. Watch this game closely because it will look nothing like last week. Kurt Warner will be Kurt Warner and the Cardinals will win this game 34-20. Arizona's defense believe it or not will be the difference and will have 5 sacks on Rodgers.

Ok there you have it. I am putting myself out there and my credibilty is on the line. Either I will look like the genius I am or a fool. Until the Divisional round God Bless!

Week 15 in the NFL a look back at my picks and my top 10

last week was not the best for me with my picks. I went 10-6 but as you know if you follow my picks I challenge myself to be no worst than 12-4. There were some suprises last week and some of the upsets that I picked didn't come through. I was really socked at how poorly Arizona played in a big game for them and the unbeaten stayed unbeaten.

I got my picks in late this week and the Indy game is already in the 3rd quarter so I am going to have to pass on this one. So here are my picks for week 15 excluding the Thursday night game.

Here are my picks for week 15 the winners: NO, Bal, NE, Ari, Hou, Ten, KC, Nyj, Phi, Den, SD, Pit, Sea, Car, Nyg. There you have it. My upset pick of the week is the Sunday night match up. Car will stun the Vikings.

My top 10 for the week

1)Indy-They are still the team to beat and will at least go 18-0

2)NO-They will win until the last game of the season and then be upset by Car

3)Min-Even though I think they will be upset they are still my pick to go from the NFC

4)SD-These guys just keep winning and they will be a tough out in Jan

5)Phi-I think they are a very dangerous team and don't be suprise if they are in the superbowl

6)Ari-They were beat bad at SF but they are a better team than what showed up for that game

7)Cin-They are dealing with a lot this week and their schedule is pretty tough down the stretch

8)GB-They showed me something with that win in Chi

9)Bal-I really think Bal will be dangerous if they make it in.

10)Ten-They are back in the top 10 for the first time since week 2. Chris Johnson will break the record.

It should be a great week in the NFL and please pray for Henry's family and the Bengals. It was sad to hear what happened to this young man. RIP

Week 13 and a look back at week 12 in the NFL and my top 10

Last week was a great week in the NFL there were some good match ups and a couple of upsets. Last week on my picks I went 13-3. Now that was a pretty decent week for me. Remember in a 16 game day I consider 4 wrong picks subpar and I have never been below .500.

What about those New Orlean Saints? I guess I will have to say they are for real and they may change my power rankings for this week.

Can Tennessee make it 6 straight games and get themselves into the playoff talk. Is that amazing or what? I think Chris Johnson will have a couple of huge runs this game and the Titans will win. I am predicting that Chris Johnson will have 225 yards rushing in this game.

I also have another upset pick and the Giants will beat Dallas. I will go through my winners and give you my top 10 teams for the week.

The winners this week will be:Buf, Pit, Car,Chi, Cin, Ten, Hou, Den, Mia, Phi, NO, SD, Nyg, SF, Ari, Bal
There you have it and remember I will be no worst than 12-4.

Here's my top 10 for the week there has been some changes at the top so let's go there.

1) Min-I feel they are the most complete team in the league. If Warner plays Ari will win on Sunday

2)NO-I have to move them ahead of Indy because when they attack you they attack you great team

3)Ind-Smart team and will be in the Superbowl but they will lose to Ten this week

4)SD- They have really turned it on and are actually the hottest team in the league right now.

5)Cin-I have to give them props they are solid on defence and can score on offence

6)Ari-They are a good football team and will be in the final four of the NFC

7)Dal-I am going to put Dal here for right now but I think they will go down to the Giants and move out of the top 10

8)Phi-They will win the NFC east when it's all said and done.

9)Pit-I think they will get things in gear and secure a wildcard and then be a tough out in the playoffs

10)NE-The Saints exposed them for who they really are and I think Miami will get them this week as well

Den, Bal, Ten, are all on the rise and if each win after this week they 2 may move up into the top 10. If Ten wins they will more than likely get that number 10 spot.

Who is better Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?

This question is not as hard as some would have you to believe. Just look at their numbers and then you tell me if you put both these players on every team in the NFL who would have the best record. Just in case I will give you the answer it's Peyton Manning.

I use to fight this truth years ago and felt like the media was making this guy. I was sort of like how Rush Limbaugh was about McNabb. I am a Titans fan so I felt like Mc9 was just as good if not better but what the years of watching this guy has convinced me that he will go down as one of the top three to ever play. He may even go down as number one.

Brady is a good quarterback in the perfect system for his skill set. If you put Brady on the other teams in the NFL he would struggle on some of those teams and they wouldn't be much better. I think Manning would make every team better. He is a more complete quarterback and has a better command of the position.

This video expounds on this point as well.

Are the Cowboys for real? What's the truth about the Boys?

You tell me are the Cowboys for real? I have had my doubts about this team for the whole season. They still haven't won a playoff game in about 15 years can you really trust them? They did mess up my picks this week because I though Atlanta would go into Dallas and come out with a win.

The Cowboys are coming closer to officially being a contender in my book but first I have to see a signature  win on the road. They have Seattle coming up next week and I will not be able to get any answers from that game but the following week they have Philly in Philly on Sunday night. This will be hugh and if Dallas wins that game on the road they will be considered ligitimate contenders.

When I look back at week 7 and come up with my top 10 the Cowboys  may find themselves for the first time this season cracking the top 10. The Boys have some tools and played pretty solid on defense against the Falcons so if things are coming together for them and they can play this way consistently then they will have a shot.

I will keep watching Romo might just be a pretty good quarterback. Good job today Cowboys and I guess all of the over the top Cowboy fans will start beating their chest and getting their tickets for Miami.

The Truth about Peppers and Beason

I have to talk about what Beason said and his apology to Peppers for his comments on the Prime time with the Pacman show. I was listening and at the time they were referring to Peppers as the said player and everyone knew who he was talking about. Being a former football player not on the pro level but college the proper way to handle something like that is in private.

Hey Beason is a great guy and stand up kid and I have nothing but love for him but I felt at the time that was not a good move. Beason is a honest guy and I love to hear him on the show because you get things from him that are honest and to the point. On the other hand the host of the show will ask him some questions that Beason will have to start pleading the 5th on.

The panthers have an opportunity to turn things around over the next 2-3 weeks and could very well end up 3-3 or even 4-3. Sometimes things like this can tear a team a part and other times things like this can be the catalyst to bringing a team together that have gone through some adversity.

We will all see how this one turns out.
