The annual Pro Bowl game comes out way this Sunday and for those of you that just have to get their football fix; this game will certainly fill the void. Unfortunately while this game lives up to the talent expectations, it lacks in intensity, hard hits and superb execution.
Indiana (16-4) has lost 10 straight to Wisconsin (16-5) in Madison and to snap that losing streak they will need to find a way to score on a Badgers’ team that leads the nation in defense. NCAAB lines have Wisconsin as 7-point home favorites with a total of 126.
UNC (16-3) has beaten North Carolina State (15-5) 10 straight times and to get to 11 they will have to do so without starting G Dexter Strickland, who tore his ACL and is out for the season.
If there was ever a good spot for some revenge this is it. Orlando was beaten 87-56 earlier this week by the Celtics.
Memphis had a seven-game winning streak snapped Tuesday night in Portland, but this is still a Grizzlies team that is playing with a ton of confidence. The Clippers got Chris Paul back from an injury in their last game against the Lakers, but they fell 96-91 in a hard fought game.
Super Bowl XLVI is upon us and really, we could not have asked for a better matchup – a rematch of what was widely considered the best NFL Championship game ever played.
After a long hard fought season, it will be the New England Patriots and the New York Giants in Super Bowl 46. The Giants ruined the Patriots perfect season in Super Bowl XLII. There is no perfect season for the Patriots this time around, but the Giants are still listed as the underdog.
The PGA tour makes its fourth stop of 2012 at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego this week. The tournament formerly known as the Buick Invitational will be contested at both Torrey Pines’ North and South courses – the North being a par 72 of 6900 yards and the South course a par72 covering over 7500 yards.
The 2012 Senior Bowl pits some of the best college seniors from the North against some of the best seniors from the South in what has become a major showcase for anyone hoping to have their name called in this April’s NFL Draft.
Every time Duke travels to Maryland they know they are going to be in for a real test. The Maryland student section is always ready for this matchup. Duke has won nine of the last ten meetings between these two ACC rivals.
While many are questioning the New England Patriots’ performance against the Baltimore Ravens in last weekend’s AFC Championship game, I fail to see the comparison of one lousy game by Tom Brady equating to a New York Giants upset win in Super bowl XLVI.
We are down to the conference title games and it is no surprise, especially with the defending champion Packers out of the picture, that the Patriots have the best odds out of the 4 teams to win the Super Bowl. The Ravens, who the Pats face in the early game Sunday, have the worst odds and they have a tall order trying to beat New England in their house.
Syracuse (20-0) is not on the top-ranked team in the nation, but they are off to their best start in school history and will be taking on a Notre Dame (11-8) squad that has lost 2 straight games and is only 3-3 in the Big East.
What a great matchup, although it would have been better if both teams were still undefeated.
Many thought the Kansas Jayhawks would have be in rebuilding mode this year, but Bill Self and Thomas Robinson had other ideas. The Jayhawks are coming off a blowout victory of Baylor earlier this week.
It was another insane weekend on NFL Football last week – only four teams remain standing. That means that there are only two games on Sunday! My family will be happy, but truth be told, I am not all that thrilled!
