NCAAF Game Picks

Week 8

#17Oklahoma State (6-1) @ Kansas St (5-2)
  Oklahoma State is coming off their first loss and go on the road to face a decent Kansas St team. Decent meaning they wont be able to hang with the Cowboys.
  Oklahoma St 45, Kansas St 17

#15Arizona (6-1) @ Ucla (3-4)
  Ucla hasn't done much since upsetting Texas but all that means is they might be due for a good performance at home against a good Arizona team. I expect Ucla to keep it within striking distnace but fade late.
  Arizona 26, Ucla 16

Florida (4-3) @ Georgia (4-4)
  Rarely does game mean so little in the grand scheme of things but it still has to be played. Florida has more talent and should be better coming off a bye.
  Florida 31, Georgia 23

#6Missouri (7-0) @ #14Nebraska (6-1)
  Missouri looked impressive beating #1Oklahoma last week but i think they suffer their first loss this weekend on the road. It will come down to QB Taylor Martinez making more plays for Nebraska than QB Blaine Gabbert makes for Missouri. 
  Missouri 24, Nebraska 34

#5Michigan St (8-0) @ #18Iowa (5-2)
  Michigan St is undefeated but still comes into this game as Las Vegas underdogs. I think Iowa is too physical for Michigan St and that will be the key to Iowa's victory.
  Michigan St 20, Iowa 28

#1Auburn (8-0) @ Ole Miss (3-4)
  The #1 team in the country has lost three weeks in a row and i see this as being week 4 with that happening. Auburn QB Cam Newton is bound to have a bad game, or atleast average, and it might be this one. Ole Miss QB Jeremiah Masoli will be the absolute key to this game. If he can outperform Newton then Ole Miss will come away with the upset.
  Auburn 30, Ole Miss 34

#2Oregon (7-0) @ USC (5-2)
  This Saturday's primetime game is a good one. Oregon is in a spot they have rarely ever been in program history and USC certainly wants to spoil that. USC QB Matt Barkley has the Trojans offense rolling and the defense seems to be coming along as the Ducks come to town. Oregon's offense is among the best in the nation but their only weakness might be the defense. The key to this game will be which defense can get more stops. I believe that the Ducks defense is much more opportunistic and will come up with big plays. Should be a great game, especially if you're a Duck fan.
  Oregon 47, USC 34

NCAAF Game Picks

Week 8

#7Michigan St. (7-0) @ Northwestern (5-1)
  Michigan St. is in the thick of college football's best teams but they should not take Northwestern lightly. Led by QB Dan Persa, the Wildcats have the ability to hang with Michigan St.
  Mighigan St. 31, Northwestern 23

Mississippi (3-3) @ #23Arkansas (4-2)
  Both teams are coming off road losses to ranked teams but Arkansas has to deal with questions at the quarterback position because of a concussion suffered by starter Ryan Mallet. However, backup Tyler Wilson is more than capable of leading his team to victory. Can Jeremiah Masoli help Ole Miss pull the upset?
  Ole Miss 30, Arkansas 31

#6LSU @ #4Auburn
  The ranking make this game look even but i don't think anybody believes LSU is the 6th best team in the country. While LSU struggles to find an offense, QB Cam Newton of Auburn can move the ball with ease. LSU is finally exposed on the road.
  LSU 23, Auburn 38

#13Wisconsin (6-1) @ #15Iowa (5-1)
  Two 1 loss teams come into this game with the goal of leaving as a legitimate challenger in the Big Ten. Wisconsin is coming off a huge win and will be able to avoid a letdown but not avoid a loss. This game will be a game of tough, old fashioned football but in the end Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi will be the difference.
  Wisconsin 20, Iowa, 24

#16Nebraska (5-1) @ #14Oklahoma St (6-0)
  Nebraska enters this game a a week after a disappointing home loss to Texas as Oklahoma St. enters fresh off  a nice road victory. The problem for Oklahoma St will be stopping QB Taylor Martinez and i don't believe they have to ability to do so.
  Nebraska 38, Oklahoma State 27

#1Oklahoma (6-0) @ #11Missouri (6-0)
  I don't think this prime time clash of Big 12 undefeated teams will live up to the hype. Oklahoma has too many weapons on offense to be stopped and i don't see Missouri hanging with the Sooners.
  Oklahoma 45, Missouri 20

Washington (3-3) @ #18Arizona (5-1)
  Arizona's starting QB Nick Foles won't play in this one and the Huskies QB Jake Locker is a bit banged up but this game should be a good one. The Wildcats' backup is more than capable and Washington is coming off an upset win against Oregon St. I have this one going the way of the Huskies as Jake Locker is able to make more plays than Arizona.
  Washington 31, Arizona 27

NCAAF Game Picks

Week 7

Illinois (3-2) @ Michigan St. (6-0)
 Michigan St need to avoid a letdown after beating rival Michigan last week because Illinois and QB Michael Sheelhouse can make them pay. The Spartans are playing at home and that should get them through a tough one.
  Illinois 23, Michigan St. 31

#21Missouri (5-0) @ Texas A&M (3-2)
  Its week 7 and Missouri is going into it's first road game when they play the Aggies. Missouri hasn't impressed me yet and Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson has to break out of his funk sometime.
   Missouri 28, Texas A&M 38

#12Arkansas (4-1) @ #8Auburn (6-0)
  This should be one of the best game of the day and possibly the year. This game will shape the SEC race and be a showcase of two great quarterbacks in Arkansas' Ryan Mallett and Auburn's Cam Newton. I'm tempted to pick Arkansas but i've certainly been drinking the Cam Newton kool-aid and i think his dual threat ability plays a large role in him securing a victory for his team.
    Arkansas 31, Auburn 34

California (3-2) @ USC (4-2)
   There's no way i think USC will lose three games in a row but it will be interesting to see how motivated the Trojans team is after losing heartbreakers. I don't think Cal's Kevin Riley can pressure USC's defense enough and USC's QB Matt Barkely should have a good night at home.
     California 23, USC 38

#15Iowa (4-1) @ Michigan (5-1)
   Michigan's QB Denard Robinson is good but Iowa's defense will show they're better. Robinson will still put up good numbers but Iowa led by QB Ricky Stanzi should come out victorious.
     Iowa 34, Michigan 20

Texas (3-2) @ #5Nebraska
  At this point, it seems like everyone in the country is now on Nebraska's bandwagon for atleast this game. The Cornhuskers are certainly a good team but Texas is coming off a bye week and I can not see coach Mac Brown losing three straight games. I think the off week will help the Longhorns find a way to slow down Nebraska's freshman phenom Taylor Martinez at QB.
    Texas 26, Nebraska 18

#20Oklahoma St. (5-0) @ Texas Tech (3-2)
   Oklahoma State is undefeated but i would put them in the "pretenders" category. I think Texas Tech doesnt punt more than a handful of times and comes out with a home win.
    Oklahoma St. 28, Texas Tech 45

#1Ohio State (6-0) @ #18Wisconsin (5-1)
    The atmosphere will be booming at night in Camp Randall Stadium and the Buckeyes will have their first real road test. I am not overly impressed with either team and for that i will go with the home team and the upset. 
     Ohio St. 17, Wisconsin 23

#23Air Force (5-1) @ San Diego St (3-2)
    Air Force comes into this game with their only loss being a close one to Oklahoma and SDSU enters with a record that easily could and should be 5-0. This should be a good game and im going with QB Ryan Lindley and RB Ronnie Hillman leading State to an upset win.
      Air Force 24, San Diego St 26

#24Oregon State (3-2) @ Washington (2-3)
    Oregon State is coming off a big road win over Arizona as Washington comes off a disappointing home loss to Arizona State. The Beavers, however, lose star receiver James Rodgers for the year and their pass defense is less than stellar. I'm going with Jake Locker and the Washington Huskies.
      Oregon St. 28, Washington 34

Cheerleaders of the Day

The UCLA Squad






MLB Championship Series

A look at the upcoming NLCS and ALCS

San Francisco Giants vs. Philadelphia Phillies
I don't see this as being much of a series. Sure the Giants can throw Tim Lincecum and Jonathan Sanchez but there's no way they can score enough runs to beat the Phillies 4 times. The Giants will have a hard time dealing with three headed monster of Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels. Maybe the Giants pull a win or two out though.
      Phillies win series 4-1

New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers
This should be a good series to watch and i'm tempted to go with the upset. The Rangers have the luxury of homefield advntage, where they will throw underrated CJ Wilson in game 1, and a true ace in Cliff Lee. Lee will start game 3, which allows for him to pitch in a game 7 if necessary on regular rest, and this will ultimately be the key for the Rangers.
     Rangers win 4-3

NCAAF Game Picks

Week 6

-Indiana (3-1) @ #2Ohio State (5-0)
 The Buckeyes are heavy favorites but if Indiana's Ben Chapel can get the passing game going like he did last week then the game might be closer than expected.
  Indiana 27, Ohio State 38

-Illinois (2-2) @ Penn State (3-2)
 Neither of these teams are great and that might make for an entertaining game. 
   Illinois 20, Penn State 23

-Tennessee (2-3) @ Georgia (1-4)
  Both teams are coming off heartbreaking losses and this will be a game of who can avoid a letdown. I believe the Volunteers are the better team but the game should remain close throughout.
  Tennessee 27, Georgia 23

-#1Alabama (5-0) @ #20South Carolina (3-1)
  South Carolina is at home but I don't think they have much of a chance. I believe the Crimson Tide are just too good. The questions at quarterback and a freshman runningback will not help the Gamecocks any.
  Alabama 38, South Carolina 20

-#16Michigan St (5-0) @ #17Michigan (5-0)
 Michigan enter this game as slight favorites and have a lethal threat in QB Denard Robinson. But can he keep it up against the best defense he's faced so far? Michigan's defense gives up way too many yards and points and i think that will be the Wolverines biggest problem.
  Michigan St 41, Michigan 34

-Ucla (3-2) @ California (2-2)
 An interesting game between a Ucla team coming off 3 straight wins and a Cal team coming off two straight losses. Whoever runs the ball the best will win the game. Will Kevin Prince be healthy enough to lead the Bruins run game over  Cal's Shane Vereen?
 Ucla 24, Cal 20

-#3Oregon (5-0) @ Washington St (1-4)
  This game will be over before it starts as even a bad letdown performance by the Ducks would get it done over this Washington St team.
  Oregon 62,Washington St. 3

-Oregon State (2-2) @ #11Arizona (4-0)
 Oregon St is probably underrated at this point but a bye week for Arizona will really help them this week. 
  Oregon St. 24, Arizona 38

-#24Florida St (4-1) @ #14Miami (3-1)
 This game seems to always be a close on and this year's edition should be no different. In the end, too many mistakes by Miami's Jacory Harris will ultimately decide the game.
  Florida St 31, Miami, 27

-USC (4-1) @ #18Stanford (4-1)
  This game features two teams coming off disappointing losses trying to rebound in Palo Alto. Stanford is probably the best team and Andrew Luck will be capable of putting up huge numbers against this USC defense but i the Trojans led by Matt Barkley pulling the upset. 
  USC 35, Stanford 31

MLB Postseason Picks

New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins
 I just can't see the Yankees losing this one. I wouldn't call the Yanks' pitching great but their lineup sure is. 
  Yankees win series 3-1

Texas Rangers vs. Tampa Bay Rays
 I really like both of these teams and i don't think homefield is much of an advantage. I'm tempted to pick the Rangers but i'm not sure how bad Josh Hamilton's injury is and he has to be close to 100% for his team to have a chance. Still i believe this will be the most entertaining and close division series. In the end, i think the Rays pitching will get them to the next round.
    Rays win series 3-2

Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies
  I want to be wrong but i don't think the Phillies can be stopped at this point. The Reds are a solid team led by ,who should be the NL MVP, Joey Votto and have good pitching but the Phillies will be too good. Having Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt pitching in a five game series is a huge advantage and the Phillies can put runs on the board in a hurry.
      Phillies win series 3-1

San Francisco Giants vs. Atlanta Braves
 This series is certainly not the most interesting of this year's postseason but could produce some good close games. The storyline of Bobby Cox's last season will be interesting but the main story of this series will be pitching. I don't expect any high scoring games and i have this series going to the Giants.
      Giants win 3-2

NCAAF Game Picks

Saturday Oct 2nd

Instead of the usual game and winner, I have changed the format a bit

#17Miami (2-1) @ Clemson (2-1)
  I expect this one to be a good close game. I have QB Kyle Parker leading his Clemson team to victory at home.
  Miami 27, Clemson 30

Kentucky (3-1) @ Ole Miss (2-2)
  Some nice playmakes to see in this one including UK receiver Randy Cobb and Ole Miss QB Jeremiah Masoli. Should be pretty competitive.
   Kentucky 31, Ole Miss 41

#16Texas (3-1) @ #8Oklahoma (4-0)
  A little luster came off this one when Texas was drubbed by UCLA but the Red River Rivalry rarely disappoints. If it Texas beats UCLA then i would pick Oklahoma in a heart beat, but the loss will only fire Texas up. Still, i think the Sooners pull it out in the end.
   Texas 23, Oklahoma 27

#9Wisconsin (4-0) @ #21Michigan St (4-0)
  Not exactly sure what to think of this one but i'm going to have to go with Wisconsin. Should be close into the fourth quarter.
    Wisconsin 31, Michigan St. 20

#7Florida (4-0) @ #1Alabama (4-0)
   Everytime i look at this matchup i just think easy Alabama win. It's a rivalry game but ill stick with my gut.
   Florida 22, Alabama 38

Washington (1-2) @ #18USC (4-0)
  USC is undefeated but doesn't look close to unbeatable and Washington QB Jake Locker has to step up sometime soon. I think it might be a good week for him to rebound against a USC defense i think it sub-par.I can just as easily see Matt Barkley going off on the Huskies defense but i'll go with the upset.
   Washington 31, USC 27

#20Penn St (3-1) @ #18Iowa (3-1)
   I don't have much confidence in Penn St and i think Iowa may be slightly underrated even with a loss. I don't think the game will ever be in much doubt.
  Penn St. 13, Iowa 24

#13Stanford (4-0) @ #4Oregon (4-0)
   I have a hard time figuring out how this one will end. One side of me think Andrew Luck and the running game will be able to control the entire game and the other thinks Chip Kelly won't let his team lose at home in a huge game. I think Oregon's defense will come up with some big play and the Ducks will be able to get the victory. 
   Stanford 34, Oregon 48


other picks:

Vanderbilt @ Uconn                           Uconn
Northwestern @ Minnesota    Northwestern
Navy @ Air Force                             Air Force
Arizona St @ Oregon St                Arizona St
