On Monday Night Football in week 7 of the 2011 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens will visit the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Miami vs NY Jets Predictions, Pick & Odds

The Monday Night showdown in week 6 of the 2011 NFL season features two AFC East rivals who have produced some fireworks over the year in their primetime and Monday night match-ups.

Oklahoma is riding high right now. Earlier in the season, they took care of

Week 6 NFL: Carolina vs Atlanta Predictions, Pick & Odds

It has certainly been a topsy-turvy season so far in the NFL coming into week 6. The Atlanta Falcons, 13-3 last season and division winners, have already lost three games this season, and are now just 2-3. They have a worse point differential than the 1-4 Carolina Panthers, who despite their record, have emerged as one of the best stories of the season.

Monday Night Football: Chicago vs Detroit Predictions, Picks & Odds

A lot of people were expecting the Detroit Lions to be a good team this season, and to make a push to make the postseason. But there probably were not many people who expected to see them at 4-0 after four weeks, one of just two remaining undefeated teams to begin the season. Further, it's not just the wins, it's the way they have gotten them, coming back from some huge deficits to win games late. Now, they'll get their turn against their division rivals the Chicago Bears in the big week 5 Monday Night

NY Jets vs New England Patriots Predictions, Picks & Odds

One of the biggest games of the weekend will be the New York Jets heading on the road to visit the New England Patriots, their hated divisional rivals in the AFC East. Both teams have clear goals to make it all the way to the Super Bowl, but the AFC is loaded with tough teams at the top, and neither is going to have an easy journey on their way there, as we have already seen. The Jets in particular have been struggling more than expected, and it has raised a lot of questions about this team and what

NFL Week 5: Philadelphia vs Buffalo Predictions, Picks & Odds

If you saw the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Buffalo Bills on the schedule in the beginning of the season, or before the NFL season actually began, you'd probably have a much different opinion of the game then you do right now in week 5. If anything, you might imagine the Eagles sitting at 3-1, and the Bills floundering away at 1-3, but instead, the opposite is true, and these teams are in very different places than most people were expecting them to be.

Anointed as a "dream team"

Week 5 NFL: Oakland vs Houston Predictions, Picks & Odds

Week 5's matchup between the Oakland Raiders and the Houston Texans is a big showdown for two teams who believe they have postseason potential. The Texans are off to a great start, and seem to be in control of their division. Meanwhile, the Raiders have both impressed at times and fallen off at others, and are in need of a big win to keep up some momentum and make a statement to the rest of the conference.

For Houston, things started looking up before the season even began. With Peyton Manning on

Ohio State vs Nebraska Predictions, Picks & Odds

The Ohio State Buckeyes are hitting the road this weekend to go against their new conference rivals, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Buckeyes have stumbled to a 3-2 record thus far, while the Cornhuskers are coming into the game after being humbled against Wisconsin in Madison. This is a chance for Nebraska to get things back on track against a different Big Ten rival, and a chance for Ohio State to get a marquee, season-saving type of win under their belt.

One of the biggest games from last weekend

Friday, October 7, 2011

Florida vs LSU Predictions, Picks & Odds

One of the biggest games of the college football weekend will be the Florida Gators heading down to Baton Rouge to play LSU. It's an SEC showdown, and the teams have combined for three of the past five national championships. There's going to be a lot of talent on the field, but these team's are not created equally right now. LSU has bigger fish to fry, and Florida comes into the game stumbling.

Last weekend, the Gators hosted the Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite starting the game strongly, they

Oklahoma vs Texas Predictions, Picks & Odds

It's time for the Red River Rivalry, as the Oklahoma Sooners get set to play the Texas Longhorns in this exciting weekend of college football. This is always a big match, and fans of these teams and this rivalry have to be extra excited this year. Some thought that this wouldn't be a very big game this year because of Texas's struggles in 2010, however so far they have rebounded this season, and both teams are riding a lot of momentum heading into the showdown.

Oklahoma is the number 3 team in the

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

California vs Oregon Predictions, Picks & Odds

The PAC-12 takes center stage on Thursday night, as the California Golden Bears travel to Oregon to play the Ducks. Both teams are sitting at 3-1 right now, but make no mistake about it, these squads are not on the same playing field. The Oregon Ducks are the number 9 team in the nation, a year removed from making it all the way to the BCS championship game. For Cal, finishing the season with a winning record would be accomplishment enough.

Oregon started off the season with an extremely difficult

Week 5 NFL Predictions, Picks & Odds

Last weekend in the NFL was one of the more topsy-turvy that you could ever expect to see. Big leads were blown by lots of teams, plenty of upsets took place, surprise stars and big name busts all took center stage.

Monday Night Football: Indianapolis vs Tampa Bay Predictions, Picks & Odds

The Monday Night Football game for week 4 of the 2011 NFL season features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing host to the Indianapolis Colts. The two coaches are both disciples of former Bucs then Colts coach Tony Dungy, and the teams have similar schemes in some respects, although they have had of course drastically different results so far in the year.

Of course there's one big reason for that, and that's the injury to Peyton Manning, which has devastated the Colts offense completely, and left the

Detroit vs Dallas Predictions, Picks & Odds

The Detroit Lions vs. the Dallas Cowboys in week 4 is going to be an exciting match between two teams who entered the year with big expectations, but one of whom is becoming the true darling of the young NFL season here in 2011. As it stands, the Lions are one of the last remaining undefeated teams in the league, and the Cowboys are coming off a few big comeback wins that has given the team some great momentum.

Dallas just played on Monday night, where they narrowly escaped with a win in a home

NFL Week 4: Pittsburgh vs Houston Predictions, Picks & Odds

A very intriguing showdown will take place in week 4 of the NFL season, although it might not usually be one that would be circled on the calendar. The match is between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans. Some say this is a kind of crossroads match two teams which are both talented, but are now heading in different directions. Others would say not so fast, and suggest that the Steelers are still bonafide Super Bowl contenders. So which side is right, and how will the Steelers vs. Texans game

Nebraska vs Wisconsin Predictions, Picks & Odds

In a decade from now, college football fans are going to look fondly back at this 2011 meeting between Nebraska and Wisconsin as the start of one of the best new-age rivalries in the sport. With all of the conference shuffling and realignment, this pairing will definitely be a keeper for some time to come, and there's no better introduction than the one we'll get this season, with both teams undefeated, sitting in the top 10 in the polls, and ready to give one another a very rude

Auburn vs South Carolina Predictions, Picks & Odds

The SEC schedule is loaded this weekend, and it's a credit to that schedule and the games that the Auburn vs. South Carolina game is the second tier match in the conference, and doesn't have the primetime slot, reserved for Alabama vs. Florida this weekend. But this game is a must-see match in its own way, for many reasons. So will South Carolina be able to keep their momentum and winning streak under way, or will Auburn play the role of spoiler in this SEC showdown?

The South Carolina Gamecocks
