I am extraordinarily sad that today is the last day of football. I was already hoping for the Patriots to lose, but after they cut Tiquan Underwood last night, I really hope the Patriots get slaughtered. I am a little worried that the Giants are as cocky as they are, but I'm hoping it will help them more than hurt them. Here it is, my final NFL prediction for the next six months.
Giants 31, Patriots 27 - Eli Manning MVP

Championship Week picks
I went 2-2 last week, not so good. I wasn't completely surprised by the Broncos game, but the Packers game shocked me. I thought they would come out firing on all cylinders. This week I am once again going to go against the majority. Everything I have seen this week has the Patriots and the Giants rematching from 4 years ago. I am going opposite that and taking the Ravens and the 49ers. Guess we will know in just a few hours, but I'm saying that Super Bowl XLVI will be the Harbaugh Bowl.
Ravens 31, Patriots 27 - I know that the Patriots offense is fantastic and the Ravens have looked pretty bad against mediocre teams even, but I love the way the Ravens match up with the Patriots. They will be able to get enough pressure on Brady to force him into some mistakes, and Rob "caveman" Gronkowski will have his first bad game of the season and the Ravens pull the upset. The only thing I can see screwing this up is Joe Flacco. He seems to wilt under pressure and if he has a couple turnovers, this game could be a blowout the other way.
49ers 20, Giants 17 - This game will be a lot of hard hitting, probably 4 or 5 turnovers, and will end with Alex Smith leading the Niners down for a game winning field goal from the never aging David Akers.

NFL Divisional Round
I got 3 of 4 last week, although I'm still upset at myself for picking the Bengals; should've known better. This week there are two games I'm very confident about, and two that I am completely torn, but after last week I am all in with picking with my heart the rest of the way. That being said, here goes:
49ers 22, Saints 20 - I think if this game was in New Orleans the Saints would win by 20. Even though San Francisco isn't exactly the coldest place on earth, the Saints are just a different team away from home, and the Niners defense is going to force Drew Brees to make some mistakes he hasn't been making. The MVP of the Niners this season, David Akers, makes a late 50 yarder to win it.
Broncos 31, Patriots 27 - This is another one that my head says can't happen. The Patriots beat Denver a month ago by 18 in Denver. This is in Forborough, and the Patriots usually find a way to win big games. Like I said though, I'm picking with my heart, and my heart very much wants the Broncos to win. In my opinion, for that to happen it will come down to two things. If Denver can take care of the ball and not have any turnovers, they will have a good chance to control the clock and keep the Pats offense off the field. The other thing that must happen is Denver has to find a way to get pressure up the middle on Tom Brady. If he has time to throw, that offense will kill the Broncos all game long. Pressure Brady, don't turn the ball over, and this crazy improbable run continues another week.
Ravens 20, Texans 17 - This game comes down to one thing: Joe Flacco. If he doesn't screw it up like he has the past two playoffs, the Ravens win this game and might win it easily. If Flacco has turnovers, the Texans could pull the upset. I'm banking on the Ravens just giving the ball to Ray Rice 30 times and not giving Joe the chance to lose it.
Packers 34, Giants 17 - I think this game will not be as close as people think. The Packers have to be the least respected 15-1 defending super bowl champs of all time. They have been far and away the best team in football this year, and Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in football. The Giants have been running their mouth all week after stomping the pathetic Falcons, but now the butt kicking will be against them. Rodgers will play near perfect, and the Packers defense will force a couple Eli turnovers and the Packers roll.
This time next week I expect (and hope) to see a Ravens-Broncos and Packers-49ers championship weekend. Only time will tell.

Wild Card Weekend
For the year, I went 185-71 on my NFL picks, good enough for 72%, not too shabby. I did horrendous on my college picks so I will just leave it at that. I am genuinely excited for wild card weekend, even though part of me thinks that none of the four games will be close. The other part of me knows that in the NFL, anything can happen and in the playoffs it usually does. I can't wait for the Broncos-Steelers game most of all and am hoping that the Broncos pull it off and Tebow plays well. I am not a Broncos fan, but I am a Tim Tebow fan, and in a sports world where we have so many punks and players who are flat out not good role models, I love being able to cheer for someone who is by all accounts a genuinely good person. Is he the best QB? Far from it. Will he even be playing QB next season? I honestly don't know, but I hope he is. Is he a little like Ned Flanders with how much of a goody two-shoes he is? Sorta. My full feelings of the Tim Tebow situation are too long to put into this, but to sum it up, I hope he does well. Now, onto my picks
Bengals 23, Texans 17 - This is a very difficult game to pick, because I don't know which Texans team will show up. The Texans are the better team in my opinion, and if they play how they can, they should win this game fairly easily. The problem is that I don't trust their play calling. I think the Bengals will load up to stop the run, and the Texans will not allow T.J. Yates to take control, and they'll be too conservative and fall behind a good Bengals team that won't allow them to make another late comeback the way they did last month.
Saints 41, Lions 23 - I don't see this game being close. The Lions had something to play for last week and yet still gave up a ton of yards and points and lost to a Packers team playing mostly backups. Now they have to go on the road to the Superdome to play arguably the best offense in the NFL. Bad matchup, and I think the Saints jump on them early and never let up.
Giants 27, Falcons 13 - This is another game that I don't think will be as close as the "experts" do. The Falcons beat up on bad teams and mostly at home. They struggle any time they play even decent teams on the road. The Giants are playing well right now, and that will continue as Matt Ryan goes to 0-3 in the playoffs.
Broncos 16, Steelers 13 - My head says 27-9 Steelers, but I'm picking this game with my heart. I can't stop picturing Big Ben having no mobility and the Broncos getting after him all game long. The defense or special teams will come up with one or two huge plays, and Tebow will protect the ball, and do just enough to get the Broncos down the field for Prater to kick a game winning field goal.

NBA 2011-12 Season Predictions
I am not excited whatsoever for the NBA this year. Making predictions makes it at least a tad more entertaining because I can see how close I was or how horribly wrong I was. I hate the idea of 66 games in two less months; I understand it's about money and I get it blah blah blah, it just bothers me. The NBA season is too long as it is, I'd be happy with 50 games a season and then playoffs. I'm gonna be completely honest, I have no feel for how the league will go this year other than the Heat and the Bulls will win a lot of regular season games. Outside of that, it's completely wide open in my opinion, so I'm fully prepared for my picks to be, as I said, horribly wrong. But oh well, that's why it's fun. Here we go
Atlantic Division
1. Boston Celtics - I don't think they'll have a great regular season, but their division just isn't good, and I think the Knicks are highly overrated.
2. New York Knicks - They'll be entertaining, but when your two "superstars" don't play defense, there is a problem.
3. New Jersey Nets - I can't stand Deron Williams, but he's good enough by himself to finish above the 76ers and the Raptors.
4. Philadelphia 76ers
5. Toronto Raptors
Central Division
1.Chicago Bulls - They have the youth to deal with the shortened season perfectly, and adding Rip Hamilton will only help them take pressure off of Derrick Rose.
2. Milwaukee Bucks
3. Indiana Pacers
4. Detroit Pistons
5. Cleveland Cavaliers
Southeast Division
1. Miami Heat - They will cruise through the regular season, probably finishing with the best record in the league. The addition of Shane Battier is huge for Miami.
2. Atlanta Hawks
3. Orlando Magic - This is a train wreck waiting to happen. Dwight Howard wants out, and I think he's going to throw a grown up temper tantrum on his way to forcing to Magic to trade him.
4. Washington Wizards
5. Charlotte Bobcats - As long as Michael Jordan is in charge of this team, they will not win big
Northwest Division
1. Oklahoma City Thunder - If Russell Westbrook can realize he's the 2nd best player on this team and stop trying to upstage Durant, this is the best team in the western conference. If Westbrook can't control his ego, that could ruin the Thunder's season.
2. Portland Trail Blazers - Brandon Roy was one of my favorite players and I'm very sad that he has to retire so young because of his knees, but I think not having to worry about his status will help the Blazers this year, as it's become Lamarcus Aldridge's team.
3. Denver Nuggets
4. Utah Jazz - I like a lot of the pieces on this team, especially Derrick Favors. I think Kanter has the potential to become a defensive powerhouse at the center position, and give the Jazz one of the best frontcourts in the league for the next decade next to Favors. If Josh Howard can stay healthy, he will help them, but the Jazz biggest need is the wings. I like Gordon Hayward, but he is a great 6th man in my opinion. I hope the Jazz will try to showcase Al Jefferson early in the season to try to bait a team into overpaying in a trade for him and hopefully upgrade the wing position, so they can finally get rid of both Raja Bell and CJ Miles. The Jazz have the potential to be able to compete in the west for the next 10 years in my opinion, probably not this year because they are so young, but within a couple years if they can develop their young guys. The biggest question mark I have about this team is Ty Corbin. I like him a lot, but I don't think he's quite ready to take a young team up to the next level. I hope I'm wrong, because I'd like to see the Jazz succeed and prove that they made the right move by getting rid of Deron "Douchebag" Williams. Hopefully Jazz fans will not have too high of expectations for this season, and be willing to give it a couple years. We shall see.
P.S. Those of you who have talked to me about this already know, but for those that don't, I've always disliked Deron Williams and haven't cheered for the Jazz since he's been there, so my ripping him isn't a reaction of what happened last year with Sloan. I am not a Jazz fan, but when they have players I like, I cheer for them to do well. I love that the Jazz got rid of him, and I hope he never succeeds on whatever team he is on :) that is all
5. Minnesota Timberwolves - Why are they even allowed to still have a team?
Pacific Division
1. LA Clippers - Yes I am buying into the Clippers. Chris Paul is still the best point guard in the NBA, and unless the Lakers are able to get Dwight Howard without giving up Pao Gasol, the Lakers are going to slip.
2. LA Lakers - I am hoping beyond hope that this team struggles mightily, because if they do, the true Kobe Bryant will once again emerge, and he will cry and throw a fit and eventually want out of LA. He did the same thing after he forced Shaq out, and the Lakers were terrible with Kobe trying to be the main guy until the Grizzlies gift wrapped Pao Gasol to them. Kobe does not win a single title without his dominant big guys on the team, and Gasol is vastly under appreciated in LA. I've read so many articles the past couple years talking about how Kobe has matured since his trade demands 4 years ago. Guess what, NO HE HASN'T, Kobe Bryant is the equivalent of the screaming toddler in the grocery store whose parents buy him whatever he wants just to keep him happy. Kobe takes no responsibility for his team ever struggling, and if the Lakers didn't miraculously acquire Gasol, he'd already be out of LA. I am hoping for the true Kobe to show up again this year, so all the idiots that wrote about his maturity can realize how dumb they actually were.
3.Golden State Warriors - Another exciting offensive team that doesn't play defense and will win about half their games.
4. Phoenix Suns
5. Sacramento Kings - sorry to put a damper on all you Jimmer fans, but I just don't think he's a starter in the NBA. He is a great shooter, but he will get exposed on defense because he is not quick enough to keep up with point guards and not big enough to guard the 2's. If he is used correctly, like a Jason Terry, he could help a team out, but if they expect him to come in and be the team star, they will be vastly disappointed.
Southwest Division
1. San Antonio Spurs - They have enough younger guys to deal with the regular season just fine.
2. Dallas Mavericks
3. Memphis Grizzlies
4. Houston Rockets
5. New Orleans Hornets
MVP - LeBron James
Rookie of the Year - Derrick Williams
Coach of the Year - Vinny Del Negro
Defensive Player of the Year - Kendrick Perkins

2. Chicago Bulls

Second Round - Blazers over Mavericks, Thunder over Lakers
Conference Finals - Thunder over Blazers
NBA Finals - Celtics over Thunder - and of course this is a biased pick. I am a Celtics fan, and this might be my last year for awhile that I can pick them and they have a legitimate shot. I think Miami has the most talented team, but I think if Boston is healthy in the playoffs they can take them down. That is a huge if, but that's what I'm going with. Feel free to comment and tell me how bad my picks are, or how smart you think I am :) hopefully the NBA will be better than I am expecting this year.

NFL picks week 16
I know I have been slacking on my picks the last two weeks. I have made them, just didn't take the time to post them on here. For the year I am 159-66, so I feel pretty good about that. I already lost one for this week, which was my first Thursday night game I'd picked wrong all year. The amount of different scenarios for the playoffs these last two weeks makes the games that much more exciting. There are two weeks left, and not one team is locked in to a certain playoff seed; even the Packers technically haven't wrapped up the 1 seed. I am hoping for complete chaos this weekend to make the final weekend do or die scenarios for as many teams as possible, but what I'm hoping for and what I'm predicting are different, so with that, onto my picks.
Texans 23, Colts 10 - Obviously I missed this one already, but I couldn't cheat.
Broncos 27, Bills 13 - Broncos will run all day on the Bills, control the clock, and force a turnover or two, no late game drama needed this time around.
Panthers 38, Buccaneers 17 - (sigh)
Bengals 23, Cardinals 21
Titans 24, Jaguars 13
Raiders 24, Chiefs 20
Patriots 34, Dolphins 21
Giants 27, Jets 23
Steelers 23, Rams 9
Vikings 27, Redskins 24
Ravens 23, Browns 13
Chargers 34, Lions 30 - hoping I'm wrong on this one
Eagles 30, Cowboys 27

Packers 31, Bears 13
Saints 38, Falcons 34
