2014-15 Football Predictions – (SEC) – Bulldogs
There may not be a tougher SEC team to predict this season than the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Bulldogs closed out last year with a 7-6 record, with a 3-5 record versus in-conference foes. The record also included two narrow OT wins against Arkansas and rival Ole Miss near the end of the campaign.
MLB Lines – A’s vs Astros
Oakland brings its run-scoring juggernaut to east Texas to face the Houston Astros, who despite having the league’s best diminutive hitter are still sucking the hind teat of the American League West division.
MLB Lines – Tigers vs Angels
Two ballclubs that are among the class of the American League lock horns in Orange County on Thursday night, with the Halos most recently stealing a win against the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles to avoid the sweep and the Tigers hoping that Miguel Cabrera’s recent slump-snapping dingers are a sign of things to come.
MLB Lines – Reds vs Brewers
The teams in the National League Central division are embroiled in a razor-wire chase for the division crown; two teams in the thick of it meet in Beer Country on Tuesday night to do battle.
2014-15 Football Predictions – (SEC) – Rebels
The Ole Miss Rebels haven’t truly had a glory year since Eli Manning was calling the signals early in the last decade. Yet head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff has the personnel in 2014 for it to be memorable.
2014-15 Football Predictions – (SEC) – Aggies
I would have said that Florida’s Tim Tebow was the most celebrated college football player in a generation – that is, until Johnny Football came along.
MLB Lines – Reds vs Yankees
Both of these clubs have battled injuries and sub-par performance in the first half of the 2014 MLB season – the difference being that perhaps one is a contender and the other has been a sheep in wolf’s clothing.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Gators
The University of Florida, Gators fans and the team’s boosters are not accustomed to losing. Clearly, last year’s 4-8 effort went over like a lead zeppelin in Gainesville.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Gamecocks
It took a while for the publicized move to pay dividends, but having head coach Steve Spurrier – formerly of Florida Gators fame – patrolling the sideline for South Carolina has been fruitful.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Bulldogs
Similar to the 2014 South Carolina team, Georgia is in a situation where its starting QB for 2014 has been caddying for the past three years, patiently awaiting his chance for the spotlight.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Commodores
For years, when college pigskin fans thought of NCAA ball in the state of Tennessee, Vanderbilt’s program would not come to mind. Yet, the Commodores have undergone a remarkable ascension in the SEC under former head coach James Franklin.
MLB Lines – Bucks vs Cards
You have to love a series between teams that are a half-game apart in the same division. Pittsburgh and St. Louis are currently scrapping it out for second place in the NL Central, fighting for the distinction of being in pole position to chase the upstart Milwaukee Brewers.
MLB Lines – Jays vs Angels
The visiting Jays are hoping to right the ship in Southern California after a four-game sweep at the hands of the AL West-leading Oakland Athletics. Between a slate of injuries and uninspired play, it hasn’t been a good road trip for Toronto; it doesn’t help that the teams in California are currently on a roll.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Crimson Tide
Alabama was its usual powerhouse self in 2013, except for a damning collapse at the end of the season – a loss to in-state nemesis Auburn and a Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma.
2014-15 Football Previews – (SEC) – Razorbacks
It kind of sucks to be Arkansas starting QB Brandon Allen. His gradual ascendance to the starting job in Fayetteville coincided with the receiver talent evaporating at the program and the run-first philosophy of coach Bret Bielema. Allen also battled a shoulder ailment for a good chunk of the 2013 season.
