NBA CHRISTMAS SATURDAY:
PACERS (12-11)
PISTONS (12-11)
Many felt that Pistons and Pacers would be fighting for the lead in this being tied for second place was the preseason prediction, but not many had it mapped out this way. The Pacers lost superstars Jermaine O?Neil and Ron Artest, as well as Stephen Jackson in arguably the ugliest NBS brawl ever seen. Could this rematch get reheated on national television on Christmas?
HEAT (20-7)
LAKERS (13-11)
Peace on earth and goodwill to mankind comes to tinsel town this Christmas as Shaquille O?Neal returns with his new team the Miami Heat to take on arch rival and ex teammate Kobe Bryant and the 3rd place Lakers. ?"If you've got a Corvette that runs into a brick wall, you know what's gonna happen," "He's a corvette. I'm a brick wall. So you know what's gonna happen." Said O?Neal in a thinly veiled threat made at halftime of ?Monday Night Football?. Intense!
NFL:
RAVENS (8-6)
STEELERS (13-1) -5 Total 34
Rookie QB Ben Roethisberger will get his first look at the smothering Raven defense this Sunday as Baltimore attempts to knock of the Steelers. The Ravens should force the rookie to throw often as they have denied RB Jerome Bettis 100 yards rushing in the past 9 games and limited him to 65 or fewer yards in 7 of past 9. The Ravens defense is permitting opposing QBs a league-low passer rating of 67.7. The Steelers defense is equally impressive but Kyle Boller and Jamal Lewis have really come on strong as of late.
CHARGERS (11-3)
COLTS (11-3) TOTAL 57
This game features the two highest rated passers in the AFC in Peyton Manning (123.9) and Drew Brees (103.8) but the reason everyone will be tuning in is to see Manning attempt to tie then break Dan Marion?s single season mark of 47 TD passes. Manning with 46 needs just one to tie the mark and two to set the new record, but don?t expect the scrappy Charger defense to go down without a fight.
HOT PROPS:
Since everyone is intently watching the Colts and Peyton Manning roll it up every week we decided to come up with a couple of cool Colts props. Take a look!
