NFL Divisional Playoff Predictions Jan. 14,15

"FACE OFF"

*

We all know what the big story is, this weekend in the NFL. I picked the Patriots to win, but I will be happy to be wrong if Tim Tebow can pull another miracle off. I think the 49ers at home may provide some interesting challenges for the Saints. Still, I picked the Saints to win the Super Bowl before the season, so I will stick with them. Plus, the Saints offense maybe the best I have ever seen in the NFL. The Ravens are veteran playoff team with an experienced quaterback. The Texans don't have those luxuries, Ravens should get the win. This is a really risky pick, but I am going to take the Giants to pull off the huge upset over the Packers. The Packers have been the best team all year, but the Giants have figured things out at the right time. The Giants also have the pass rushers to get to get to Aaron Rodgers. The Packer's defense has been suspect all year and the Giants are good enough offensively to keep up. Should be another great NFL weekend!

2011 Georgia Bulldogs Postseason Recap

Here's my latest video recapping my thoughts about Georgia's football season.  Dawg fans, what did you think about the season?  Let us know!

Did Clemson TE Dwayne Allen Spill the Beans? Are the Tigers Paying Players?

Check out this video below and hone in on the 1:35 mark.  Did Allen really say what we all just heard?  He has more money at Clemson than anywhere else?  Notice how he quickly backtracked from the word "money"  and switched it to "resources."  NCAA, where you at?

Hmmm, not the first time I've heard about this, but it makes you wonder...

Grow Your Roll: Jan.2 Bowl Edition!

Here are some plays to help you make some cash today while you watch the bowl bonanza!

GEORGIA (-3) over Michigan State:

Unlike last year's Dawg squad, this year's group has been ready to play every week.  There will be no repeat of the3 lethargic embarrassment against UCF in last year's Liberty Bowl.  Michigan State is a great team, but they were soooo close to smelling the roses in Pasadena.  Do they want to be in Tampa?

GEORGIA 27, MICHIGAN STATE 20

OHIO STATE (+2.5) over Florida:

The Gators are playing a de facto home game in Jacksonville, but can the Gators or their fans get fired up for this game?  Obviously, we will hear the Urban Meyer angle ad nauseum throughout the day, but it'll be the Buckeyes who are playing to please their new coach.  The Gators will look to right the seemingly sinking ship.  The only reason I would pick them is Ohio State's poor history versus the SEC, but you and I both know Urban has been coaching the Buckeyes up for the last month, even though he won't be on the sidelines today.

OHIO STATE 24, FLORIDA 23

Enjoy all the games today!

College Football Bowl Game Picks(the important games)

The SEC helps to Heat up the College Bowl Season!

*

So, far the college football bowl season has been pretty uneventful. I have watched some games like the Baylor vs. Washington game for example, was an exciting, high scoring track meet, but overall college fans have not seen much that would make them jump out of their recliners. Don't worry the big bowls are still to come, and a SEC National championship is sure to heat up fans this winter. Here are my predictions for the important bowls. I will say sorry ahead of time to the college football purest, I did not waste my time on the small bowls.

*

Monday, January 2

Houston (19) vs. Penn State (22)

Ticketcity Bowl ESPN U 12:00 PM ET

Penn State 31-27

Penn State will win the game in the trenches.

*

Nebraska (20) vs. South Carolina (9)

Capital One Bowl ESPN 1:00 PM ET

South Carolina 34-20

The SEC teams are too big, mean, and fast.

*

Michigan State (17) vs. Georgia (16)

Outback Bowl ABC 1:00 PM ET

UGA 41-31

SEC, enough said.

*

Ohio State vs. Flordia

Gator Bowl ESPN 2 1:00 PM ET

Ohio State 35-27

The Gators have not been the same since Urban Meyer left, and now he is at Ohio State, oh irony!

*

Wisconsin (10) vs. Oregon (5)

Rose Bowl ESPN 5:00 PM ET

Oregon 48-34

I like Wisconsin, Russell Wilson and Montee Ball are great. Wisconsin will score a lot points in this shootout, but in the end Oregon is too fast and speed kills!

*

Stanford (4) vs. Oklahoma State (3)

Fiesta Bowl ESPN 8:00 PM ET

Oklahoma State 45-38

Someone has to win in this shootout.

*

Tuesday, January 3

Michigan (13) vs. Virginia Tech (11)

Sugar Bowl ESPN 8:30 PM ET

Michigan 31-23

Michigan is ready to make a statement on the big stage.

*

Wednesday, January 4

West Virginia (23) vs. Clemson (15)

Orange Bowl ESPN 8:30 PM ET

Clemson 41-27

Clemson is just too athletic and fast.

*

Friday, January 6

Kansas State (8) vs. Arkansas (6)

Cotton Bowl 8:00 ESPN PM ET

Arkansas 52-41

I will take the SEC team almost everytime. This game should have a ton of offense.

*

Roll Tide and Nick Saban are ready for greatness!

*

Monday, January 9

Alabama (2) vs. LSU (1)

BCS National Championship ESPN 8:30 PM ET

Bama 19-13

The best two teams are playing in the BCS National Championship game and that is all college football fans can ask for. LSU maybe the best team in the country(and could be the best college football defense I have ever seen), but it is tough to beat a team as good as Alabama twice. Bama could have won the 1st game, but they missed two field goals. Alabama should find the mark this time and get the win in a defensive struggle. A win for Saban will put his name among the great coaches of all time!

Time to party in Tuscaloosa, ROLL TIDE!
