    Fiesta Bowl prediction

    Its 2.5 months away. Oklahoma 24 Miami FL 21 OU's performance today was as dominating a performance as I've seen over a top 20 team this year. Much more dominating than Miami's win over Florida. I'm sure this will anger all the UM fans on this site, but do you (Miami fans) feel confident...

    Ohio

    67 plays from scrimmage. 66 runs and 1 incomplete pass. Never seen that before. Over 100 pts in the L2 weeks. Looks like they've got the option down.

    Kirby Puckett

    First the assault charge on his soon-to-be ex wife last winter....now attempted sexual assault on another woman. I think we're finding out this guy isn't the "great hero" the media portrayed him to be. He probably gets off with community service. He gets caught now; makes you wonder how many...

    PFW go against plays

    Going against the heavy consensus ( at least 9 out of 11 handicappers) choices on Pro Football Weekly has been a bit worse than expected at 15-12 but was 5-1 last week. After being primarily on favorites the first month or so, it looks like the boys over there decided (finally) to jump on the...

    Week 7 Power Ratings

    No great teams but a lot of mediocre ones: 1. Miami 96.5--The state of Fla is best in the pros as well as NCAA Tampa Bay 96.5 Oakland 96.5-even after the loss 4. Philadelphia 96 5. Denver 95 San Fran 95 7. Green Bay 94.5 8. New Orleans 94-they'd be higher if they hadn't lost...

    Saturday totals

    Wisky/Indy OVER 54-- Badgers may want to run this one up after the woodshed beating last year by IU. Mich St/Iowa UNDER 58--Sounds like Iowa will be getting some bad weather; Iowa's weakest link is their pass D but rain and wind figure to help that. On paper it looks like an over so its...

    Bengals

    I'm probably the only person in the world that thinks this, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Bungals went on a little ATS run. I see some similarities between this team and last year's Redskins. I can clearly remember how horrible Washington looked early last season; every bit as terrible as...

    Va Tech defense

    How many meaningful TD's have they given up this year? You can argue that none of them have been 1. Arky St managed one on a 73 yard pass play with the score already 56-0 2. LSU managed 1 TD in the 4th quarter 3. Marshall got 3 TDs but were actually getting shutout 3 minutes into the 4th...

    Bel, SA stakes

    Belmont- Frizette- Looks to be a 2 horse race between Storm Flag Flying and Santa Catarina. According to T-Graph, SFF ran one of the best 2YO filly #s of all time but it was over a wet track so we have to be skeptical. And at 3-5 may be worth trying to beat. Santa Catarina is 4-1 in the m/l...

    Meadowlands Cup

    A decent field for tonight. Looks like plenty of early speed with Express Tour, Gander and Cat's at Home in the field. Without seeing past performances yet, it looks like it could set up for Bowman's Band or Volponi who can stalk the pace. Volponi may scratch out to run at Bel tomorrow.

    The public week 5

    I checked the teams Nolan's Goldman experiment came up with the past couple weeks and what I've been using produced very similar results. I'm using the picks from the Covers contest on wagerline and Pro Football Weekly cappers picks to serve as the public. Once again, they can't get enough of...

    Bison Dele

    I question the validity of Dele's brother's girlfriend's story. By all accounts, Dele was not a violent person but in her account Dele killed the captain of the boat because he wanted to report the death of Dele's girlfriend, who was supposedly "accidently" killed trying to break up a fight...

    Indoors???

    I'm not near a TV but Yahoo says its indoors. WTF?? If its below 95 in Phoenix, they usually leave it open. Open=overs at the BOB. Closed =unders. Unfortunately some of us expected an open dome today.

    Illini/Gophers

    Illinois +3.5 Am I a homer here? I don't think so. Minnesota has the edge in stats but when you see the teams they've played (SW Texas, La-Lafayette, Buffalo, Toledo and Purdue), you'd expect them to. I thought Minny lost 2 valuable skill players in RB Redman and WR Johnson and I don't think...

    Power Ratings week 5

    Power Ratings given by ESPN and Sportsline are useless since there's no numbers to go w/their rankings. They can't justify their ratings. Here are mine thru week 4: 1. Oakland 97.5 2. Philadelphia 97 3. Tampa Bay 96 4. Miami 95 New England 95 6. San Diego 94.5 7. Denver...

    New England gets exposed

    They simply cannot stop the run. There was signs last year, giving up 4.3 ypc but the past 2 games have been horrendous. KC puts up 221 on 34 attempts and today San Diego runs them into the ground for 238 on 34 carries. For the year, they are giving up 5.6 ypc. First the Steelers and Rams...

    Arlington bomber

    Race 10 # 7 Ahmagooden The key here is the soft turf. This horse last ran on soft turf last October at Arlington and won by 5 lengths at 30-1. This is his fourth start of 2002; the first 2 were lackluster efforts but the last was a solid 3rd beaten less than a length on Sept 5 so it looks...

    Hou/SF

    The Astros look to be the play today; the Giants likely to rest some of the regulars and Oswalt has the motivation for going for win number 20.
