It’s Championship Saturday in College Football. By the end of the day, we will have a pretty good idea of which four teams will end up in the college football playoff. Pac-12 Championship Game No.8 Colorado Buffaloes vs. #4 Washington Huskies: The Huskies got a dose of reality two weeks ago when they lost to USC but they bounced back in a big way last week by crushing Washington State for…
Rob Gronkowski was only supposed to miss one game after tweaking his back against the Jets but the Patriots got some bad news today. The Patriots got some bad news today regarding tight end Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski needs back surgery and is going to miss the next eight weeks recovering from surgery to repair a herniated disc. The Patriots thought Gronkowski may only miss a game but as it turns…
Week 12 is in the books and the playoff picture is starting to become clearer in both the NFC and the AFC. The finish line is in sight for several teams around the league. 1. The Bengals are done. They can’t score points without A.J Green and Gio Bernard in the line up. Not only that, but at 3-7-1, they are essentially four games back of the sixth seed Dolphins…
Storyline: The Patriots will square off against the Jets for the first time this season. New England will be looking to avenge last season’s Week 16 loss to the Jets which ultimately cost them home field throughout the playoffs. Here our five keys to the game. 1. Get off to a Better Start Than Last Week: The Patriots were sluggish out of the gate against the 49ers last week. They…
I had an awful week last week. Here’s to hoping I bounce back this week. I need it because I’m in the hole. 11/27 1:00 ET San Diego -2.5 At Houston 46.5 -$145 +$125: The Chargers are favored in this game which is kind of weird considering Houston has been good at home. San Diego plays well on the road (See Atlanta) but something tells me the Texans will play…
It’s rivalry weekend in college football and several stories rivalries will determine which teams make the final four in college football. Here are our top five match ups for Saturday. No. 3 Michigan (+6.5) at No. 2 Ohio State: I think Ohio State will win this game because they have dominated this game in recent years and the Wolverines will more than likely be playing without quarterback Wilton Speights. Michigan…
By Michael Vallee -Disqualifier Game: If last week’s game against Seattle was a yardstick game, a game where the Patriots got to measure themselves against the league’s best, this week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers was the opposite. A boring, empty, predictable formality of a 7-2 team yawning its way past a 1-8 mess, enroute to a 30-17 rain-soaked snooze fest. If we learned a lot about the Patriots…
The best football day of the year is upon us! It’s Thanksgiving day. The Lions and Cowboys are playing in two big divisional games. The Steelers and the Colts are playing tonight. It should be a great day of football. Here are my Thanksgiving Day picks. 11/24 12:30 ET At Detroit -1 Minnesota 41.5 -$120 +$100: The Vikings got a much needed home win over the Cardinals on Sunday, setting…
Image courtesy of Raiders.com 1.The Raiders coming from behind to beat the Texans last night is proof that the Silver and Black is legit. There is a lot of talent on the roster and Jack Del Rio is a better coach than he gets credit for. 2. Speaking of the Texans, Bill O’Brien has to be sick to his stomach. His team just can’t win on the road. They are…
Duxbury proved that they are the best team in the state with a convincing win over Beverly on Saturday. 1. Duxbury was once again impressive in their 41-14 win over Beverly. Bobby Maimaron reinforced the notion that he is the best player in the state with another big performance. 2. I told you East Bridgewater, NIPMUC was going to be one of the best games in the state. The Warriors…
