NCAA and NBA look to be a huge profitable day

Well it was nice to see V.C.U take care of business and not have to wait around for the call like Drexel will have to do this week. Drexel went 19-1 over their last 20 games and deserve to play in the tournament.

Detroit taking care of Valparaiso was a great move for them as well and if Valparaiso doesn't get the nod they can look at one of the bottom Big East teams that do not deserve to represent as the bullshit pick to dance.

For the most part things have gone as predicted, with a one or two seed winning their conference tournaments. This will allow for some of the teams that lost in their conference finals to get the well deserved invite. No real upsets of any kind this year.

I am a big believer in Stanford, California, Arizona, Washington getting the chance to play for it all this year but the PAC 12 will probably only get 2 teams in. The reason being is for some reason the selection guys will overload the tournament with Big East teams again. I even like Oregon and or Oregon State to get in but it will not happen.

I will say it again watch out for Belmont who lost by 3 to Duke and had a real chance to beat Duke but came up short. Belmont will probably get a 12 seed which they really deserve a 5 seed at worst.

NCAA Basketball is rising to the top

After a couple weeks off it is time to get back to handicapping. I have a few very nice plays tonight in College Basketball and the NBA keeps going very well. Pace of the game is huge this time of year. There is no more pure home court advantage, you will find home state advantage and that is simply not the same as home court.

Who are the sleepers this year? Butler will not make another run this year as they will not get an invite to the dance. UCONN is hanging by a thread and will need a couple wins in the Big East tournament to get their invite. This was the situation that they were in last year and they decided to not lose another game.

The so called mid major's will make an impression this year. A small example is the WCC. ST Mary's, Gonzaga and BYU will all make the dance. These three teams will have more wins then a major conference with 2 times the teams or 3 times the teams. I don't know why it works this way but it will happen.

One of the it teams is Tennessee which I think should not make the tournament over a team like V.C.U which has done more then enough to make another run. I have Drexel beating them today in their finals match up.

Reaching into the way back machine Valparaiso has a very solid team and if healthy a sweet 16 trip is not out of the question. The pac 12 will be overlooked but if Washington gets in, I look for a sweet 16 trip by them as well.

In the end look for the usual suspects such as Kentucky, North Carolina, Syracuse and Duke to make a huge run at the title. North Carolina will get my nod to win it all and their are questions weather or not they will get a number 1 seed.

One last team that could scare anyone and everyone is Belmont. They run and gun and will outscore anyone. That is my super sleeper.

NCAA 108-106

Drexel +2.5
North Texas -1.5
Ball State +4
ST Mary's +3
Loyola Maryland +3
South Dakota State -12

NBA 38-28

Golden State -1

Have a great day.

March is coming

Took a couple day's to lick my gapping wounds from the Super Bowl. First of all the Niners should have been there. 2nd of all the Patriots had a solid 8 point lead and after the lead had been knocked down to two the Patriots were in a spot to score very late and leave little or no time on the clock for Manning and company.

Who would believe that one of the best possesion recievers of this age dropped a 2nd down pass that would have put the ball on the 20. So Brady is being totured and being told he cannot win the big one but really one play does not make a legend not.

I am a fan of no one but I love defense and rushing which made this Super Bowl a farce for me as you had two poor defenses although they were both underated. I geuss it just must be that easy. Play the hot team or the seemingly hot team.

NCAA Basketball 90-88 nothing great and the odds makers are reallhy that good. I cannot tell you how many half point losses and wins I have had wow.

NBA 33-24 I hate the NBA but the stats this year have not lied.

Have a great day.

Tech plays on the hardwood, Horses are hot as hell

Now if you are a horse player today is the day!!! fullcardreports.com, Take a look at the wonderful card at Gulfstream Park today. There is a wonderful card where fullcardreports.com is going to make a bunch of money.

If you take a look at the videos on fullcardreports.com you will find that the last few days have been masterpieces. There has been so much money made by fullcardreports.com customers there has been many signers.

From Sunland Park, to Aqueduct, Turfway Park, Sam Houston and many other tracks with so many horses paying 20 plus dollars that have been right at the top of the report. The public has no idea why these horses pop up and pay 40 dollars after showing nothing the last few starts. The public thinks fluke. The fullcardreports.com customer knew it was coming.

Oh yes Oaklawn Park a little 40 dollar horse that after looking at the report you wouls have had the winner, exacta, trifecta and Boom!!!

Yesterday with 2 minutes to post I opened my reports to see a standout within seconds and as that horse that finished 8 of 9, last and last in the horses last 3 races I had no problem seeing the pace was in my favor and all the exactas were paying very well.

Oh yes then there was the single by 3 by 4 by 4 for a 36 dollar pick 4 ticket that paid a lousy 577 bucks. Mid stretch it looked like the 2600 payoff was in order but the favorite caught em and the payoff was 577.

Invested 70 bucks and a return of ....Win Bet 20 bucks return 188, exacta bet 14 bucks, return 188, pick 4 36 bucks invested, return 577. Outlay 70 and return of 953. It took me 2 minutes to post to put all of this together with full confidence.

That is just one example and there were 10 or more over the last couple days. Fullcardreports.com....Be A WINNER.

All the games with no notes have at least a 6 point advantage. The best plays are the plays with the notes. Those games have a 10 point advantage or more.

These are called tech plays they are made up of an incredible numbers formula that has taken years of work and will win you money. You must have a monay management plan. Do not go putting 50 bucks on one game and 600 on a top play. This numbers formula is patened and will soon cost a bunch of money to enjoy. Today I am feeling happy so they are free.

NBA 24-19

Clippers -10
New York +7
Portland +4
Phoenix +3

These games are also tech plays. The same numbers plan as college and will hit 60% this year and all years.

We are fully into the hoops season so it is time to make some basketball cash. The one thing in the NBA you must pay attention to the schedules because they are a mess and you can run into some great schedule plays. Such as teams playing 3 games in 3 days or a team playing 6 games in 7 days. Pay attention and get paid.

Have a great day.

How is that HORSESHOE, NEW YORK

Well the Giants and that massive horseshoe they have had up their ass came through to win the Super Bowl. It did not matter how many fumbles or almost interceptions that they got away with. It was their time to win. I do not believe in this is the way it was to come out. The way way things came out in all of this I really almost believe is destiny.

Passes bouncing off of defensive players, fumbles that had four players around the ball to 1 and finding a way to keep the ball. Having one of the best pair of hands in Welker not catching a ball that would have ended the game in the Patriots favor, bouncing harmlessly to the ground and giving the ball back to Eli with over 4 minutes to go. In the last minute a solid receiver in Branch dropping a ball that would have gotten the Patriots down to the 30 with over 40 seconds to go with 1 timeout remaining.

Things like this continued to happen for the Giants. No running game and never touching Brady until the 4th quarter, which on the stat sheet made it look like they were all over him. My worse nightmare is seeing a C defense win the big one. It does not make sense that a weak team got all of the breaks and won it all. It hit me hard with a bet and I take this stuff seriously when the weak get all the breaks. Not go out and win but get every bounce and lucky break, I MEAN EVERY LUCKY BREAK. There should have been two interceptions against the Forty Niners and at least 2 fumble recoveries for the Patriots. Then there was the blown whistle call that no one thought was important. The media, the announcers hell even the Bay Area media did not bring it up. The play was alive and the Forty Niners should have had the ball on the 10 yard line going in to end the Giants.

It is a fact that that was a fumble and the play had not stopped referee shit call or not. The whistle had not stopped the play. PERIOD!!!

Is Manning Elite? I really do not know the answer to this but he got all the breas and more then just one. Good for the Giants and good for their coach but it was very wrong.

While the Niners bet and the Patriots bet which ere 5 times to much for what I do was the real mistake. I went 4-0 in Basketball and still had a over then average losing day. I went 4-2 overall and lost money now that is very poor money management. One of my very good friends in the handicapping world kept asking why I was so upset over just another wager. I felt like an idiot and could not tell him how pathetic my money management was.

I cannot say it enough a play is a play and other then maybe a 2 unit selection there is no reason to not stay with your money management plan. Stay with one unit or max two unit selections. This is the only way to stay ahead of the game. I hit 60% of my NFL plays and two games almost made me a loser in the NFL. That is not how to show a long term profit. Right now I am at almost 60% in the NBA and I am showing a profit, the way it should be. In college basketball I am only at 56% but with solid money management I am showing a profit.

That is the point here 1 or 2 units. If your down then stick with 1 unit selections. When you are on a roll then look for some 2 unit selections. Stick with this and be a long term winner.

Super Bowl plays with a number of PROPS and Baskets!!!

The Super Bowl has arrived, or the offenses have arrived and this year in the NFL defense does not matter at all. Through the years, the worst you will get is a B versus A in the defensive area of the football.

After the miracle television ratings must win games of the Patriots against the Giants, we have two shit defenses going up against one another. I rate teams A, B, C as it get's no worse then C.

This year the Giants have the C defense with no running game. Another thing that champions usually have is a solid running game to end the game when ahead. The Giants rush for under a 100 yards a game while the Patriots are respectable at 111 a game on the ground. It is far from ground and pound. It is 5 receiver sets where the running back gets a free run up the middle for at least 6yards.

So instead of two incredible A defenses with the Ravens and Forty Niners and an epic defensive struggle we get two shit defenses who have leaky secondaries. It so happens that the strength of both teams is throwing the football.

The average fan is going to love the track meet that I see coming down the road today. By all rights it looks as though the Giants should have been a very good running team this year but it did not happen this way. I don't know if the running backs have no guile or if the blocking schemes were not right to pound the football.

I like everyone on the planet told my son right after the Forty Niner game that without looking at anything that the Giants were the easy play. Well everyone on the planet stayed with that pick. I have read, watched and heard why the Giants cannot lose this big game.

Then I made my charts and broke this game down as I would any other game. I could not believe my eyes. The New England Patriots are a very strong play on Sunday. They have the better defense, and an outstanding offense that will give the Giants all kinds of problems. Unlike the injured Packers, the no dimensional Falcons and the short handed Forty Niners. New England has a legit 5 headed monster on offense.

Besides the 5 headed monster, better coaching and the sneaky defense that is better then the Giants the Patriots are the number one seed riding the most silent 10 GAME WINNING STREAK in football history!!! That's correct a 10 game winning streak. That makes two very hot teams, with one team getting completely overlooked. Back to the 5 headed monster.

Start at the top. Tom Brady, he and the best coach in football had God status taken away from them in 2007/2008 Super Bowl. I have been told their is no revenge in the Super Bowl. To a point I believe this. This coach and this quarterback remember what happened and coach has worked overtime to try and duplicate what the Forty Niners did to the Giants in the second half of the NFC Championship game. But for 2 fumbles by Kyle Williams the Forty Niners would be here in full defensive force. Tom has been told his entire career his short comings and the perfect season was taken away by luck in the end. He will play out of his mind.

Wide Out Branch as I have been told by more then one person is not a speedster, so how will he do anything in the game? I have been told this by more then one good handicapper but I have an outlook that will let Branch have a great game. A game that he had when he was an MVP in the Super Bowl. It is all about match ups and schemes. The tight end is the main weapon for the Patriots and he will be getting a lot of attention. Doubled and spied, so what will this do? It will allow Branch to sneak down the sideline on a wheel route or a stop and go and their will be 5 or 6 deep chances that mister Brady will not miss. I see Branch making 2 deep catches for huge plays.

Tight end, he will get open down the middle early and often. With his speed and size he will give the weak Giants secondary fits. Now the very fun part. When he is doubled and stopped look for Hernandez and Welker to light it up underneath. When Branch, Welker and Hernendez are covered a running back will slide out and gaind a quick 12 to 15 yards. There are weapons short, medium and deep. It will be very hard for the Giants to cover it all.

Wes Welker will be the outlet from hell for the Patriots by getting his 10-12 cathes at 10-15 yars at a time. If the RAVENS could not hammer Tom Brady then he will have time to find his five headed monster. Tom will throw for 350 at least with all of his receivers getting open with time.

Star Tight end. Hernandez, Welker, This is the biggest game of Ocho Cinco's career and like Boldin like last week the veteran will show up. Then their is Branch who has done great in big games. I am leaving out the two capable running backs who will have opportunities. Again the Giants will not be capable of covering all of those weapons. Look for the forgotten one mister Cinco to have his chances all game. I am happy for him, it has been a long time coming to get to this one game that matters. If Boldin for the Ravens can show heart, so can mister Cinco!

Funny part that when all of these guys are getting open, it will open some huge running lanes.

So a better defense, a defense that only has to slow down two wide outs and and the tight ends who will not get a bunch of attention.

New England Patriots 38 New York Giants 27

I really see the Patriots scoring in the 40s but I do not want to overstep what I really think. Remember I did not stay they would stop the Giants. I said Slow down the mighty G men.

One last thing about this Super Bowl.

I have read on many gambling sites, which I do not do often because I have my own though process. I would say after reading up to 150 blogs and this is not media but other handicappers. There is a difference of 140 New York Giants and the under picks and no more then 10 saying New England or the under. I have never seen a great team so over looked as the team that has won 10 games in a row and are the number one seed from the AFC.

The MEDIA, well that is a different story. I have not seen one media type pick the New England Patriots. I will say it again. Patriots winners of 10 in a row. The Patriots are the number one seed. The Patriots who have key players that have won more then one Super Bowl. We call it the squares and the squares are all over the New York Giants and the under. the public is never on the under. This game they are allover the under, which I am either the worst handicapper on the planet or the Bookies are going to make a killing.

I have a handicapping friend for 15 years that I have the most respect for of any handicapper I know and I could not bribe him to take the Patriots. He said it is all about the squares and today he called himself the square of all squares. I am bummed but will never talk someone off of a dog. He is on the dog with me so at least he is on the book makers side for half of the game. I mean this is one of two people in the handicapping world that I will every now and again play some of his plays. He will also play some of my plays as well but we tend to do our own thing. When we agree it is magic.

Tiger, The Super Bowl and a review of the year

Well I almost called the ball with a Tiger win. He just couldn't help himself on the final day. It was the only day where he started hitting the ball left off the tee. You knew he was in trouble on the very first swing of the day and even after going par-birdie-birdie, it was false. Tiger will win a major this year and will have at least 4 or 5 wins all year. Bold but true.

I never thought in this day and age that the Patriots would be completely looked over in any no less a Super Bowl. I was like everyone when at first glance that the Giants were the easy play in the Super Bowl.

I then did the stats on the game and will be making a strong play on the Patriots. They have the better defense overall and their offense has 4 weapons who can all catch the ball and will make the Giants playing Atlanta and the Forty Niners seem like playing a college team.

I watched the film on the Niner game and other then Vernon Davis Crabtree was a non player in the game against the Giants. It was welcome to physical playoff football young man. Every single play he was knocked off of his route by a physical cover man. I did not note 5 plays where he got off the ball and into his route. Makes it very tough on a quarterback to only have one viable option on every play.

Before the cries of the Giants crushed the Packers and made them look like little boys. It is true that the Giants dominated the Packers. The score was in no way indicative of how dominating the Giants were against the Packers. Once again a coach learned a lesson in the worst manner possible. The Packers with the bye week and resting their starters for the last 2 weeks of the season were well of of their game. The timing was off with Rodgers and his wide outs. A month off is to long to rest and play at the top of ones game.

The Packers also had one of the worst defenses in football giving up close to 500 yards a game. Jennings should not have been playing at all and for the first time all year the Packers had their offensive line beat up and if it was a regular season game three of those linemen would not have been playing. A perfect storm to lose.

The Giants have been one of the good stories this season. Fighting all the way and making it to the Super Bowl. They survived 3 possible interceptions with Niners running into one another rather then ending the Giants run. The Niners special teams had carried them for much of the year and 2 fluke fumbles gave the Giants 10 points in the second half. The Giants were dominated in the 2nd half and got 2 breaks that gave them 10 points.

The Patriots coach is a smart man and he will have broken down the film from the Niner game every possible way. He doesn't have the talent that the Niners have on their front line but he can run corner blitz's and will find a way to slow the Giants down. He doesn't have the talent to stop them but he will find a way to slow them down, thanks to the Niners and what they did in the 2nd half of their game.

I have been told that their is no revenge in the Super Bowl. The past doesn't matter. I say that is bullshit. The Patriots coach and Tom Brady were on the doorstep of being football gods in 2007. The undefeated season and everything that goes with it. The fact that this was taken away from the Patriots does play a piece in this game. Maybe a small part but this is a fact.

The Giants will not be able to shut down all 4 receivers for the Patriots. The Patriots have the middle covered with their tight end who will be playing. The underneath with Welker, and if that gets taken away look for Branch to get a cheap long touchdown or more. Alex Smith had his chances to hit a couple very deep passes, but missed. Tom Brady will not miss his chances.

When all the passing game gets going then the Patriots will get a few cheap 12 to 20 yard runs. The Giants on the other hand do have their weapons. With Nicks hurt, this will hurt Crews. I am not talking 7 stops in a row I am talking a couple stops and settling for a couple field goals instead of touchdowns.

The public and a few pro players are all over the Giants. The Giants and the under as a matter of fact. The books have had a tough year and with a great Super Bowl any and all losses will get wiped out. I have seen this story before. Public thinks it will be easy money and the books get the last and biggest laugh.

Think about it, you play the small favorite in the Super Bowl and it happens to be the New England Patriots 15-3 with a 10 game winning streak. You get to be with the books and have the number one seed against a 12-7 team who is a 4 seed.

The Patriots will score no less then 35 points. I really think the Patriots will score in the 40's but I will settle with 35. The Giants will score no less then 21 points and with a couple field goals the Giants end up with 27.

If you do a little math, even on the low end this game will sky over the total. As the public and some pro's look back at 2007. The under looks good to many people as well. What a perfect storm. The better team, the better seed, and we get to be on the bookmakers side. It doesn't get any better then this my friends.

Take The patriots and the Over. Be a winner along with Vegas.

When wrong is right and right is wrong

As we dive further into the College Basketball season and conference play is in full swing we can take a strong look at betting the hoops.

One of my favorite plays in College Basketball is to play on the home favorite of an un ranked team, when favored over a ranked team. This is a classic case of of betting on the wrong team and against a public trap.

This little beauty used to hit at close to 90 percent, but the odds makers got wise and for a few years this was corrected and people stopped making the play. The Average guy is going to play that ranked team almost every time.

The fact is that the odd makers generally do not make mistakes and again you would be putting yourself on the book makers side. Remember only 2 percent of all sports bettors win. Most people know this yet will always go with the easy looking play. Over and over I see smart people get sucked into the easy play.

There is never an easy play. There are however plays that have a better then average chance to win. In College Basketball you can also keep a list of go against teams. I try to not make go with teams because go with teams after a while are over bet and the lines will reflect this.

A good rule of thumb if you play on a road team in College Basketball, you must believe they are better by 10 points or more to get the straight up win. Keeping this in mind always read the lines.

The wrong side right side play for me is rather odd. Most sports I look to always go with an underdog. In the case of wrong side right side I will always be on the favorite. This for a time was tough to play but with over 60% winners, I take my chances.

The NBA or the biggest piece of shit sport on the planet, is a very tough beat. As in all sports their are a few gems that will give you few plays that will show you a profit.

Play on a rested team at home that is a 6 point favorite or more, against a team that played at home the night before. This play over time has hit at a solid 56 to 58% and you will not find a play every night.

You will not have a ton of plays and as with any mode of play make sure you have a game plan. Do not throw in more plays just because you crave the action. Always have a bankroll plan a handicapping plan and find your strengths and weaknesses.

THIS IS THE IMPORTANT part....If it has not worked in the past it will not all of the sudden work in the future. This is not to say you cannot have losing streaks. You will always have losing streaks. The question is....Are you a winning player or do you fool yourself over and over, year after year and make no changes to become a winning player.

It takes work and it takes going back through past results over hundreds of results, even thousands of results. If you continue to lose then quit. If you always look at a game and say that this team is better then that team so they must win...QUIT....Or learn how to win.

If you play the horses then you must have fullcardreports.com!!! I cannot tell you how much money you save just by having this wonderful product. You will not hit every horse but your rate of return and your bottom line will show a solid profit. be that person who hits that 8000 tri or 22,000 super. Remember fullcardreports.com.

Championship Football on the way

I always find this a tough time to write about sports. I think the NBA is not much of a product and College Basketball, although a great product. March is where College Basketball starts really jumping. Oh sure I bet on College Hoops and at 33-18 I am having a decent year but If it is not about the NFL then whats the use, right?

The two games will be great this weekend. You have opposites in the first championship game. New England and all that passing. The Patriots have little to no defense and no running game, but they have proved all year living by the pass is enough. They play the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens will not put up 40 plus in a shootout but have a stingy yet older defense. This might be the last chance for a while for Lewis, Reed and company.

If and it is a big IF. Brady get's hit and hit and hit...The Ravens have a great chance to win the game. They must rush as a team for close to 200 yards. Not just to move the football but to ill the clock. Brady and company cannot do much while on the sidelines. A couple nice 9 or 10 minute touchdown drives would go a very long way for the Ravens in this one.

In following me you know that for me defense and rushing lead the way. So it would make sense for a solid play on the Ravens +7.

The next game is a wonderful contest with two teams that seem to be mirror images of one another. They are not at all. The Niners will not be beaten by the run while the Giants will give up rushing yards that will allow the Niners to get their pass game on track. Classic formula, rush to set up the pass. The only thing that scares me is the weather.

The NINERS are the solid big play here. I have not locked onto a total yet.

If you play the horses....You must have fullcardreports.com. This is the best horse product on the market. At 27 bucks a month, you will not have to buy a form or program again. Just for that reason it is well worth the price. A weekend player will save money and be a winner.

Have a great day.

Looks like a 5-0 run this weekend in the NFL

College basketball is in full swing and we are picking our spots really well right now. Looking for those few mistakes that will show up every now and again with so many games going on at once.

NCAA 30-18



NFL single unit plays 48-35

NFL double unit plays 11-9 Without the totals this season would have been a complete nightmare.

Divisional round playoffs for Saturday are as follows ....

Let us start on Sunday evening.

The New York Giants +9 The Giants are very hot right now and everyone is comparing this team to their Super Bowl winning year a few years ago. They are starting to run the football and Manning is playing the best he has all year. I have been saying all along that the Packers defense will not get them to the big game and I stand by this right now as well.

New York Giants OVER Both teams cannot stop the pass or the run at this time and scoring will come fast and often. Last team who has the ball wins the game is what it looks like.

Sunday again, we are doing this backwards but this is what I do.

Houston +9 The Texans and the Ravens will run the ball at all costs. With no turnovers this will be a low scoring game with a field goal in the end for the win.

Saturday will start these divisional games and Saturday looks very interesting.

Denver Bronco's +14 I will tell that if Denver puts up 250 yards on the ground in the first half as they did a few weeks ago, Denver will have a great chance to win the game outright. Yes Brady is awesome but even this team has lost it's last 3 playoff games.

The best play of the entire weekend will lead off all of the playoff games.

San Francisco Forty Niners +4 Wow, a team that has won 13 games and is the 2nd seed in the playoffs is getting over a field goal at home? It goes to show you that all the average better looks at is scoring. Offense is all everyone cares about now days. Here are a few reasons why San Francisco will win this game and move on to the NFC final.

The Niners defense gives up only 14 points a game to the 22 points a game for the Saints. The Niners only give up 77 yards on the ground and only one back has rushed for 100 yards against them. The Niners have only given up one rushing touchdown all year. Without a rushing game the Saints will have to rely only on their passing game. It is fantastic but one an NFL team knows what is coming, it will get shutdown or in this case slowed down.

The last fact and probably very overlooked, this game will be played in cold weather on a slow grass field. There is more....Candlestick is BELOW sea level. This will make all of the difference in a San Francisco defensive WIN.

all the plays are single units play but the San Francisco and Green Bay/New York Over are double plays. I would even say you can play the San Francisco game for 3 units if needed.

The Divisional playoffs, Bob Scans Style!!!

Now that was as boring as a big game could be. Pathetic. Congrats to Alabama, they dominated the L.S.U Tigers in every part of the game and now the teams are 1-1 against one another but Alabama is the National Championship.

College Basketball is running at a very nice clip right now with a solid mark of 28-17. It is better then being a loser.

The final College football numbers are.

Single unit plays 92-76 nothing fantastic but again better then losing.
Double unit plays 26-26 now that is a bad as it gets for me.

NFL single unit plays 48-35

NFL double unit plays 11-9 Without the totals this season would have been a complete nightmare.

Have a great day

LSU over Alabama and Tim does it again.

Today is the last Bowl game of the year. I hate to say Championship game because we have seen this show already this year. The BCS did a poor job of letting the season weed us down to the two best teams left standing.

To bad all the experts were once again wrong about Tim Tebow. He cannot win a playoff game? Well he threw for over 300 yards and beat a very good but injured Pittsburgh team. That will be the reason that Denver won this week, not because Tim picked his team up and led them to the win.

I am one who like Tebow because he is not a fake. Nothing to do with God or anything like that. He gave that un forgettable rant after losing to Mississippi State and folled up his words with actions and a National Championship. Love him or hate him you must respect the man. I did find it odd that he threw for 316 yards in his biggest pro moment. John 3:16........odd stuff indeed.

San Francisco and New Orleans will be the game of the week coming up. Already the San Francisco media is saying there is no way the Niners can win this game. This will give the Niners and their coaching staff the chip on their shoulder they will need to compete versus the Saints.

Can a great defense in today's NFL stop a great offense? I am sure the line and the bettors will say no.

College basketball has been very good in this early season and by going 3-1 yesterday we stand at a solid 28-17. Just trying to pick our spots and keep the plays to a minimum.

I love L.S.U tonight going for their 3rd win against a top 3 opponent, this has not been done since Notre Dame 1943. It is almost unfair that they must beat Alabama twice in a season. This is the hand that the BCS has given them and special teams will decide it all.

NCAA Football 93-75

L.S.U +3

NCAA Basketball 28-17

Pass

Have a great day.

The NFL playoffs are here and its gonna be NUT's!!!

Yesterday was a complete pass with the NFL playoffs. I also must admit that the public killed it yesterday. Favorites and overs. I almost played the Saints and the Over but alas I did not push the button.

I also passed yesterday because I had done so much work on the Kansas State and Arkansas game that bombed, I was beat up and tired. I had that game so well handicapped and all the plays that Kansas State had made all year were a thing of the past in the Bowl game. The first 2 dropped passes by Kansas State gave me a sick feeling very early on.

today in the NFL, I have a double play on the Atlanta Falcons. The Giants have the worse rushing game in the league and are the first team to make the playoffs in about forever to make the playoffs with no ability to move the ball on the ground. Atlanta is well balanced and should be able to win in a low scoring game.

I feel very bad for the San Francisco Forty Niners, they have to face probably the best team right now in the NFL. The Saints will face a very tough defense but San Francisco may not be able to keep up on offense. It has been a very pass happy league this year and this game will put how I handicap a game to the test.

NFL 47-35

Denver +7 I also played a parlay of Denver moneyline +270 to the over 33
Pittsburgh Over 33.5

NFL 10-8 Double plays

Atlanta Falcons +3

NCAA Football 92-74

Arkansas State -1 This is a classic play of the much better defense getting the nod over a offensive team with lot's of pop.

NCAA Basketball 25-16

Wright State +2.5

Drexel +1.5

Arizona +1.5

Butler +1.5

NHL 9-9 +1.95

Also have a couple NHL plays posted later.

Columbus +135

Horse Racing, If you play the races you must have fullcardreports.com. Winner after winner and no even money shots here. If it is not 8-1 or more it is a pass. I have hit 20,000 tickets with a 27 dollar wager. I have hit 100.00 horses with wheeled exacta's. If you play the races for 27 bucks a month you will not be upset with fullcardreports.com.

Have a great day.

The records are in and it is another winning season

This Bowl season has been an odd one for me. I have had 2 pushes that were pure winners and I have hit all my totals but one.

I have always been a side player, so with a record of 15-2 on totals this year in the NFL and college I must continue to look at totals going into next season. My record in the Bowl games is a very low percentage for me. I usually hit close to 70% overall with my Bowl plays but this year with so many favorites winning, I feel very lucky to be ahead of the game at all with this years Bowl plays.

NCAA Regular plays or 1 unit selections 92-73 +11.70 units

NCAA Regular plays or 1 unit selections BOWL Games 13-10 +2.00 units 57%

NCAA Top plays or 2 unit selections Bowl Games 4-3 +1.40 units
NCAA Total Bowl Plays including double units 21-16 57% + 3.40 units Bowls Only.

The College season with an overall look of +11.70 units is acceptable. I have to admit I am used to picking up closer to 20 units then 10 for the College Football season. Winning is winning and any win overall will do.

With a total of 6 selections left for my Bowl season and 2 double unit plays I can still get to over a 15.00 unit season, which would taste nice after all the work I have put into this season. The harder I worked the more big kicks were missed this year. As I said a winning season will always be acceptable.

NFL 47.35 +8.50 units at 57% I am very happy with my single unit selections. The public has had a wonderful season with a number of the easy looking plays hitting every week.

NFL 10-8 +2.40 units The double play record has been most un pleasant. Games that I have counted on in the past just did not hit this year. Again a number of easy looking games, the public hit and I did not.

I know a number of big time bettors that would take 57% all day long and twice on Sunday. I like the look of the playoffs but they will be very tough. I have One very strong double play on Sunday and a couple of weaker plays on the rest of the slate.

I love to teach people how to win. It is one the best parts about being a handicapper. I will admit I have been talking to a young man in Chicago that is on the right road and in the long run this young man will be a long term winner.

Twice this year he went against me hard. In both instances he came out ahead of the game. I almost hated that he won and not because I was wrong but his logic was on the easy side. He said that in College Football that Houston would crush Penn State and I of course had the tough looking play. I took the better defense and the side that only alumni were on. I gave a number of reasons of why Penn State would cover the over inflated number and it did not happen. In the future this one easy looking bet could cost this young man a number of losses.

The second play was the New York Giants over the Dallas Cowboys. My friend again beat me at my own game and this could cost him a number of losses in the future. The NFC has a fact that underdogs do very well in East VS East. Against the number it is very close to 70% over the last 5 years or more. He said he liked the Giants because they were at home and had to win. it has been my observation that the Public loves these games and the Books make a killing. It did not happen this way. I had the Cowboys as my game of the year and they barley showed up.

I am very happy that my friend cashed a bet. I just do not want this to cost him in the future. Games like that where the public makes a killing, make games in the future that will win big for the Books look to easy.

Fuulcardreports.com!!!!!!! If you want to be a winning horse player the only way to play is with fullcardreports.com. Yesterday with just a quick look I hit a very nice 9-1 shot (20-1 ML) with a 206 exacta and a 773 trifecta. Remember fullcardreports.com.

Today I have 2 NCAA Bowl plays.

Kansas State +10 Look for a number of big plays from the well coached Kansas State team. They have a very nice rushing edge and a power rating edge. This line is out of whack. Kansas State is 7-1 as an underdog this year and are a plus 16 in turnovers. Ask Clemson how tough it is to cover as a favorite when you turn the ball over.

Kansas State Over 63.5 A 2 UNIT PLAY. As I said above, look for a number of big plays from both teams. Although I look for State to run the ball well, this does not mean time consuming drives. The coach of Arkansas is a bit of a punk and if he has the chance to rub it in he will. Both teams will average scoring drives of less then 3 minutes at a time and this does wonders for big time overs. The weakness of the Arkansas defense is against the run, giving up close to 5 yards a carry. The weakness of the State defense is the pass. They rank 104th verse the pass. So it is a classic strength on offense against the weakness on both defenses. The two teams are a combined 17-5 to the over this season. 77% to the over.

Have a great day.

The real BOWL season is here

A huge Bowl Game day today.

NCAA 89-71

Bowl record 10-8

We start with Penn State +7 to beat Houston with great defense. A defense that has only given up 2 plays over 40 yards all season. People will only look at offense and I really believe in solid defense. (at the time of this Houston up 7-0 with a 40 yard touchdown pass)

Michigan State +3 A solid defense that only Wisconsin has figured out. They will run to set up the pass and have a lot to prove with a stupid penalty keeping them out of a BCS game. Georgia has had a great season that was filled with big plays but the underrated Michigan State defense makes the difference today.

Nebraska +3 This will be a fun game with two teams coming off of very solid seasons. The Cocks have had a bunch of turnover during the season and today it catches up to them against a very talented Nebraska team.

Wisconsin +4 I had the Badgers early on at +7 but today down to +4. Look for a shootout and the last team to have the ball wins. I do like Wisconsin to have a couple more stops then Oregon.

NCAA Double Plays 23-23
NCAA Double Bowl plays 1-1

Ohio State +3 Florida and all of their problems are getting a lot of respect here. Ohio State will not be in a Bowl game next year and the under class men will be playing their Super Bowl! Urban Myer will be a great coach for Ohio State and look for the program to get very fast in the next few years.

Stanford +4 Andrew Luck is tired of finishing 2nd and will have a huge game against a State team with a leaky defense. The pass and run will be there all day for Stanford. The Cardinal will play just enough defense to win this game outright in a barn burner.

Wisconsin and Oregon Over 74 This total is just to low. With both teams scoring at under 3 minutes at a shot and defenses that are weak against the other teams strengths. Over early and often.

If you play the Horse Races....You must use fullcardreports.com!!!! this is the best racing program on the market and will fit all styles of play!!! fullcardreports.com

Have a great day.

The Bowls are as cold as ICE and that will not last. Join this late Party!!!

The Bowl games have started with a very tough 2 wins 4 losses. All losses a score away from a cover. The very small favorites are winning and that usually does not happen. I really cannot say enough about this Sunday in the NFL.

There are so many teams alive or kinda alive, it;s gonna be a crazy scoreboard watching Sunday for many teams.

I hope some of you had the chance to take a look at fullcardreports.com. The very first day of Santa Anita had a very nice everyday easy play on fullcardreports.com. A 12-1 shot that at first glance anyone looking at the reports would have been able to at worse have the winner. Following easy betting instructions, one would have made a very nice score. Win Bet, Exacta, Trifecta and a few other exotics. Do not play the races unless you have fullcardreports.com.

Tonight 81-66 NCAA Football plays

Air Force +3

Air Force Over 70

California +4

I can tell you this, so far in the NFL for Sunday I have ONE very strong perfect play.

Dallas Cowboys +3 A NFC East dog is never a tough call. Those dogs tend to win at an amazing clip this year.

I do not have a favorite team in the NFL and could care less about who wins this game and goes to the playoffs. I say this so everyone knows that there is NONE emotion with this top play.

Have a great day.

The results are winning and the handicapping solid

A very nice Christmas Eve result. 3 wins 1 loss and another great set of games for the last NFL regular season weekend of the year. It is great that so many teams have everything to play for in the last week of the season.

The up coming Bowl Games will make you a ton of cash to pay off all your credit card bills. I have a handful of double plays and 10 other very strong plays that will go off in the next 9 or 10 days.

Tonight look for Atlanta to put up a valiant fight to make the playoffs. The Saints are probably the best team in football right now, but that seems to change every few weeks.

The masses would love to see the Patriots against the Packers in a shoot out for the Super Bowl but there those out there that wouldn't mind seeing great defense and running the ball at a premium with the Forty Niners against the Ravens. How ever it works out the playoffs will be a wonderful ride.

NFL 46-33

Atlanta +7
Atlanta Over 53

2 weeks to go and most games are relavent.

Happy Holidays. I do hope everyone has a swell holiday in whatever way it is celebrated. Today we have a great slate on NFL games to choose from. A very rare thing with only 2 weeks left in the season.

NFL 43-33 one unit plays

NFL 10-6 Two unit plays

Oakland Raiders +3 The Kansas City Chiefs spoiled the Packers perfect season with a wonderful game plan to stop the Packers. The Chiefs also killed the Raiders in Oakland in the first meeting between these to biter rivals. I look for the Raiders to establish their run game early and then have a few big plays with play action as the game goes along. With Kansas City celebrating like they had won the Super Bowl last week....It is a huge letdown situation!!! Kansas City is now favored by 3 points and with the big win last week and the Raiders losing streak the public will be all over the Chiefs. A solid one unit play.

Miami Dolphins +10 This is another chance for a reversal of fortune game. The Patriots truly crushed the Dolphins in the first match up. The Dolphins have a very solid defense, that has gotten better as the season has gone along. The quarterback play has also been getting better as the season has moved along. The Patriots are running on all cylinders, but they do have some gaping holes in the defense. Although Denver ended up losing in a big way to the Patriots, Early on Denver ran for close to 200 yards in the first half alone. Denver fumbled 3 times in a row and the game was done. With the problems on defense the Patriots will have a tougher time with a well balanced offense by Miami. A nice one unit selection on the Miami Dolphins.

San Diego Chargers +3 December is here and the Chargers are once again looking to save their season by sweeping the December games. The Chargers have been winning rather easily the last few weeks. Once Rivers stopped throwing picks, his team started winning. The Lions won again last week by coming from behind. The Raiders weakness is their pass defense and that's all the Lions can do. Throw, throw, throw. The Lions gave up a ton of yards and before the last 2 drives in the Oakland game Stafford was getting a beating. It can be said that the Chargers right now are a better football team all around then the Raiders, this will prove to be the undoing of the Lions and their single minded offense. Balance wins late in the season and the Chargers have balance on both sides of the ball. A big 2 unit play on the San Diego Chargers.

San Francisco Forty Niners -1 This game has the look of Vegas begging everyone to play on San Francisco. This looks to be a tough spot for San Francisco. They beat Pittsburgh last week in a very physical game. A short week and Seattle is a very hot team right now. A funny thing has happened in Vegas. The public has jumped all over Seattle. I went from seeing a tough situation to looking at the how Seattle has been winning their games. Seattle has been rushing the football at a rapid rate. Lynch has had big games and with all that running even the Seattle quarterback is hitting just enough big plays to be a winner. San Francisco only gives up 70 yards a game and if they stuff the run interceptions will follow. This game is a reverser play.
A solid one unit selection on the San Francisco Forty Niners.

If you play the horse races you must goto fullcardreports.com. the best horse racing program on the market. You can adapt it to your style of play and in a glace you will understand the pace of the race and which horses are best suited for that race. I happen to play they way that fullcardreports suggest that you play and it has been very profitable.

Have a great day.

Sunday was a bit of a Debbie Downer, but a nice rebound on Monday. Now the NFL stands at 43-32 regular plays.
10-6 Top plays.

I usually do not play the under in a game. It is just to tough to watch but that was the 2nd under that I have played all year and I am 2-0. The other was L.S.U at Alabama. That number was in the 40s and the books had to circle the game. Which meant limited amounts of wagers, and the books thought they had a bad number. They really did have a bad number and got cracked by a lot of bettors.

NCAA Football regular plays 81-64
NCAA Football Top plays 21-21

Bowl games 2-1 included in the above records.

Florida International today at -4. I love those small schools. The only game I lost so far with the Bowls is Utah State. They looked the better team the whole game and just couldn't finish the job.

I can say there will not be many plays on Saturday or Sunday in the NFL coming up. A very tough week for what I do.

I do very well with the races and this is the only reason I have hit some huge tickets in the last 2 years. fullcardreports.com

For 28 bucks a month it is the best program that you will ever have and you will no longer have to buy a form or a program. It pays for itself just for that. I suggest you watch as many of the videos that you possibly can.

The videos will teach you how to bet and what to look for and how to key long shots. I have hit a 20,000 50 cent pick four last year and a number of other huge tickets. You will also have a real sense as when you can play a first time starter with confidence. in that pick 4, I singled a 100 horse in the 2nd leg. I singled the horse with great confidence.

By far and away the best of the best. No hidden fees and you can learn as much as you can with the Videos and a angle book so you will not miss a trick. John will answer any questions you have and he has always gotten back to me within an hour of any email. fullcardreports.com. Be a winner.

20 teams alive and 3 weeks to go. HOW FUN IS THIS

As a sports handicapper, I will give you the number one advice you will ever get. This advice will save you hundreds, thousands or with big bettors millions! Here it is folks.

Just because a team has to win does not mean that the team will win or cover!!!

AFC

The AFC is as wild as it gets this late in a season. You have 9 teams alive for 6 spots. Two of the divisions are all wrapped up. The Houston Texans(10-3) with all of their injury problems have won their division. The Texans also have a great chance to be the number one seed.

The New England Patriots(10-3) have a two game lead with 3 games left to play, so they are locked in. It is a matter of do they have enough to get that number 1 seed.

The Baltimore Ravens(10-3) are tied for the top spot in their division with the Pittsburgh Steelers(10-3) but with the Ravens beating Pittsburgh twice, it gives the Ravens the lead for the division title.

The Denver Bronco's(8-5) have come from nowhere to take a one game lead over the Oakland Raiders(7-6). This is really a 2 game lead with other tie breakers. The Bronco's will face their toughest challenge during the winning streak coming up on Sunday. The New England Patriots come calling and Denver might not be able to keep up with the Patriot fireworks show.


Here is where it gets very interesting. The 2 wildcards will come from these 6 teams. N.Y Jets(8-5) and since their coach said they were going to win it all, it is a must to get to the playoffs. Pittsburgh Steelers(10-3) Only thing holding them back from their own title is the 2 losses to the Baltimore Ravens. Cincinnati Bengals(7-6) They may have ruined their dreams with that heart breaking loss against Houston last week. Tennessee Titans(7-6) If the referee had seen the easiest face mask call in the history of the NFL, the Titans would be in a much better position. Oakland Raiders(7-6) The last thing I would have thought I would write about the Oakland Raiders is that they have no heart. To no show 2 weeks in a row, with the talent that Hugh has brought in to make the playoffs now....Is shameful. There has been injuries and the star quarterback is learning on the fly, but the moves made for this team are for now. San Diego Chargers(6-7) Some how some way the Chargers never go away.

Who will have the best chance to wrap up those 2 spots? In no order, let's see what we can figure out with this wild bunch.

Pittsburgh Steelers 10-3 With 3 games left Pittsburgh probably only needs one more win to secure a playoff spot. San Francisco(10-3) comes up this Monday, this will be their toughest contest. Both teams have a lot to play for and it will be a full throttle game. The Rams(2-11) come up next and the back ups could beat the Rams. They finish up with Cleveland(4-9)which will be a good game. When Pittsburgh goes up against the Browns, it is always closer then it should be. That game will also depend on if the Steelers have a chance to win their division.

New York Jets 8-5 With 3 games left, the Jets are the front runner for one of the spots. The Jets have the Philadelphia Eagles(5-8) The Eagles have a little something to play for, which will mean they will be playing for keeps. The Jets should be able to get by the Eagles and as a 3 point dog I do have a nice play on the Jets. The Jets next game is against the New York Giants(9-7) who are in the middle of their own playoff battle. The Giants have a very tough time running the football and will have to rely on the pass. The Jets have not had the greatest defensive year, this game will go down to the wire. The last game for the Jets is the Miami Dolphins(4-9). The Dolphins have no coach, no chance of getting Luck in the draft and not a lot to play for. I see the Jets finishing the season at 10-6. That is a magic number to make the playoffs in years past. Last year for the first time in the history of the league 2 teams with 10 wins did not make the playoffs. 10-6 this year will get a team into the dance, so go J....E....T....S

Cincinnati Bengals 7-6 With 3 games left the Bengals will have to win at least 2 of those games. The Bengals have had a very tough few weeks. They are playing well enough to win every game but they are not finishing games off. The Bengals have done enough to save their head coaches job, now they have to make the playoffs. The Bengals do have a good offense, which is very young and this group will build into something good over the next few years. The Cincinnati defense is no wimp. They only give up 21 points a game and barley 100 yards on the ground. The ST Louis Rams(2-11) are first on the list and that is a good thing for their chance at the playoffs. the Rams are not playing well enough in any faze of the game to hang with the Bengals. The 2nd game for the Bengals is the must have game. Arizona(6-7) is playing the best that they have played all year. The Cardinals just came off of a must win against the Forty Niners to keep their playoff long shot hopes alive. The best part for Cincinnati is they are getting Arizona at home. This is one of those games that will go down to the wire. Of course the toughest game of the 3 comes last. Baltimore(10-3) might be fighting for their division life or an outside shot at a top seed or a 2nd seed. The best thing for Cincinnati would be for the Ravens to have nothing to play for. The way I see it, Cincinnati finishes with a 9-7 record. It will be a coin flip situation to see if that is good enough to get the final spot.

Tennessee Titans 7-6 With 3 games left, the Titans hit a road block when the face mask that wasn't ....well was not called. It cost the Titans the chance to tie the game. They may have not gone on to get the job done against the Saints but it would have been nice to have it done right. The 0-13 Colts are up first for the Titans. That game should be a win. Not much more to say about that weak game. The 2nd game up is Jacksonville, another game that the Titans should get an easy win. The last game for the Titans will be their toughest task. Houston(10-3)If the number one seed is all wrapped up this could be a wonderful chance for the Titans to finish 3-0 over the last three weeks of the season. To bad for them that might not be enough to get the job done. I believe that the Titans will sweep the last three games and end their season at 10-6! If this does happen then we will have a team between Pittsburgh, NY Jets and Tennessee that have 10 wins or more and miss the dance.

Oakland Raiders 7-6 With 3 games left I said before the season that Oakland would not win more then 7 games. With the gutsy moves that this team has made, I honestly hope that I was wrong. This is a team that even sweeping the last 3 games of their season, will need help from Denver or the other 4 teams I have mentioned above. The entire Raider season will come down to this weeks game against the Lions(8-5) The bad part for the Raiders is they give up a ton yards via the pass and that is all the Lions can do. They will have to have a balanced attack with the running game leading the way. The more rest that the defense gets, the better chance they will have to slow down the Lion offense. The Kansas City Chiefs(5-8) are next for the Raiders. The Raiders should be able to win easily against the Chiefs. If the don't care Oakland team shows up then they will lose this game and the next. The last game for Oakland is against the ever rising Chargers(6-7). The Raiders almost have to hope that San Diego is out of it. I have a feeling , if the Chargers are alive the raiders will bet blown out of the stadium. I see the Raiders finishing at 8-8. Then they will have to build with free agents and trades. The Raiders got rid of any draft pick with these trades that will have gotten nothing done.

San Diego Chargers 6-7 With Baltimore Ravens(10-3) this week it all comes down to this week. They will not get a wild card berth. They have one chance. They have to have Denver and Oakland tank. Then they must sweep the board. I see them ending the season at 8-8 like the Oakland Raiders.

The way we see it.

AFC Division Winners

East...New England Patriots 12-4
North....Baltimore Ravens 12-4
South....Houston Texans 13-3
West....Denver Broncos 10-6

AFC Wild Card Winners

Pittsburgh Steelers 12-4 In this case Baltimore will have the same record but Pittsburgh lost to the Ravens twice. That will give the division title to the Ravens.

New York Jets and Tennessee Titans 10-6 This will cause another 10-6 team to miss the playoffs. In most cases 10 wins is more then enough to get you invited to the dance.

NFC

The NFC has a total of 11 teams involved in the chase for the Superbowl. Funny part is the top team of all top teams is in the NFC. There will be little argument that the Green Bay Packers are riding very high. I am a handicapper that really does believe in defense and controlling the game on the ground. Both on offense and defense. It is very tough for me to see a one sided team rule the football world. I believe their offense is incredible. They can almost score at will via the air. I also believe that you have to be able to close out a game by grinding out a few late game first downs. The packers have figured out how to do this by really using their short passing game as a running game. The Packers give up 21 points a game and over 100 yards a game on the ground. This means that teams can move the football on them. You would not see stats like this on a team that is going to go 16-0. There is no doubt about this outcome. With who they play the last 3 games they will not have to play their starters to get the job done. There is no doubt in my mind that the Packers will not win the Superbowl or get to the big game.

The Green Bay Packers 13-0 With 3 games remaining versus weak teams, it looks like an easy 16-0 regular season. Your number one seed and more then deserving.

San Francisco Forty Niners 10-3 With 3 games left the Niners have a lot to play for and a chance to get the 2nd seed. This week San Francisco has a very strong test with Pittsburgh coming to town. With San Francisco it is pace makes the game. In a tight game with few points scored the Niners can get a lead and their great defense can shut any team down. I see the Niners finishing at 12-4.

New Orleans Saints 10-3 With 3 games left the Saints are in the drivers seat over the Atlanta Falcons. The only winning team that they play is the Atlanta Falcons. With Minnesota and Carolina as the only other teams they have to face, the division looks to be the Saints. We see the Saints ending at 12-4.

New York Giants 7-6 In the NFC East. The division that no team wants. On a weekly basis the division is given to one team or another. At the start of the year, the East looked as though it would take at least 11 or 12 wins to get the job done. The Giants have 3 games left and they could win all 3 or lose all 3. Yes it is that nuts. Looks like 8-8 for the Giants.

NFC Wild Cards. This is where the real fun starts! You have 7 teams for 2 spots.

Dallas Cowboys 7-6 With 3 games left and zero consistency, it should be a crazy ride. Game one of the 3 and the Cowboys get a break by getting Tampa Bay. This should be a game that Dallas owns with no problems. games 2 and 3 are gonna decide division and knockout one or two teams from wild card consideration. I have the Cowboys going 8-8 on the year. Nothing cleared up here.

Philadelphia Eagles 5-8 The eagles have 3 games left and have underachieved all season long. A 3-0 over the last 3 games and at least they have some sort of redemption. I said some sort not full redemption. The problem with trying to go 3-0 over the next three weeks is the Eagles have a very tough schedule. As much as I would love to see the three top teams in the East all be 8-8 and wait for all the fun tie breakers I cannot see the Eagles winning but one of their last 3 games. So as we see it the Eagles finish at 6-10.

Detroit Lions 8-5 The Lions have 3 games left and have to be at the top of the mental midget team of all time. This team has a ton of talent and could not handle becoming winners. Their coach lost control of his team and instead of just playing solid tough hard hitting football, they had to show just how ignorant and selfish to a man a team can be. This team showed little or no class in winning or losing. Their best chance at a win is this week against the Oakland Raiders. This is the heartless bowl. About 6 weeks ago I called for the Lions to finish at 8-8 on the year. I have amended that a little bit. I believe that the Lions will find a way to get one more win on the season. We see the Lions finishing at 9-7. I think that is as good as it gets for Detroit.

Chicago Bears 7-6 Three weeks ago before losing their quarterback and the next week their all pro running back, it looked like the Bears were on their way to something very special. Now the Bears are hoping to limp into the playoffs. It really looks like an 8-8 finish for the Chicago Bears. I believe that might be giving them one more win then they will get. They may not be able to hang with Minnesota in the final game of the season. A tough way to end their year.

Atlanta Falcons 8-5 With 3 games left it looks like the Falcons will grab one of the Wild Card spots. They will have earned it. Unlike every other team looking for a playoff spot in the NFC, the Falcons will be winning their way into the dance. Worse case for the Falcons is a 2-1 record over the last 3 weeks. Even if they were able to sweep their way into the playoffs, it looks like the Saints will have done enough to win their division. We see the Falcons finishing the season at 10-6. A solid follow up season to their number one seed last year.

Seattle 6-7 With 3 weeks to go Seattle has been playing very solid football with their running back Lynch leading the way. If you would have said at the start of the year that Seattle, San Francisco and Arizona were a better threesome then Dallas, New York and Philadelphia, people would have thought you drunk. Looks like wins against Chicago and Arizona are possible and a tough game against San Francisco makes for a good chance at a 9-7 record. I see them finishing the season at 8-8. A very strong finish to a tough start to the year.

Arizona 6-7 With 3 games left Arizona also looks to be playing their best football as the season comes to a close. It is sad that they are playing a Bengals team who is looking towards their own playoff berth to end the season. In the case of Arizona it is Larry Fitzgerald carrying the load. He is an amazing player who can man handle any secondary. We look for Arizona to finish at 8-8.
