Patriots -14.5
Go with what you know. But do you even know what you know? Or do you just think you know what you know? Here is what I think I know. I know the Patriots demolished the Chargers back in week 2. I also know that San Diego is certainly playing better know than they were then. I also know that their QB is doubtful, their All-Pro TE is doubtful and their All-World RB is playing hurt. I also know that the Patriots are impervious to pressure, or at least they have been all year. I know Belichek is better than Turner. All of that has me thinking I know that the Patriots will cover easily. Give ‘em 5-stars.
Giants +7.5
Keeping with the theme, I know the Giants are much better than they were in Week 2 when the Packers demolished them in the Meadowlands. I also know that the Packers are better than the Giants. I also know that the Giants have proven they can learn from their mistakes, i.e. last week against the Cowboys. At the end of the day, I think I know that the game will be close so I will take the 7.5 and the Giants for 3-stars.

Colts -10
Everything is playing to form, that is why I love this game. The Colts played their worst game of the century against San Diego, in San Diego, and only lost by 2. The freakiest shit went down and IND still should’ve won. Today we will see the true colors of these two teams and it won’t be close. I am thinking 56-14 type of game. Let’s see if Philip Rivers finally breaks down and sheds his Jesus-lovin’ facade to show us that he is actually a demonic vagina.
Giants +7
Everything is playing to form, that is why this game scares me. All year long I said that the Giants are the most over-valued and they will be a great bet-against in the playoffs. And here it is. Still, with all the stuff with the Cowboys I can’t do it. So I am not playing this game but am rooting for the Giants!
Seahawks +9
This is the toughest game on this weekend’s slate for me. Seattle has struggled on the road this season and I still do not believe in the Packers. A few years ago these teams met up in a Wildcard game and the Packers prevailed in OT. Mike Holmgren used to be the head coach of the Packers and still has a great feel for the Packers, especially Brett Favre. The more I write and think about this matchup the more I lean toward the Seahawks to cover this high spread of 9 points even though the Packers average margin of victory in their last 4 home games (4-0) is 25 points. Those wins were against Detroit, Oakland, Carolina, and Minnesota. I prefer to place this game into a teaser, bringing the Seahawks up to a 19 or 21 point dog. As far as the game goes I will take Seattle and the points but keep it low at 2-stars.
Jaguars +13.5
I am so f’n happy that this game is taking place. The reason is, should the Patriots win today and run the table they would have faced, and beaten, all of the best teams in the NFL and then there can be no dispute about their place in history. That being said, I am a HUGE Jacksonville fan today. A few weeks back the Scouts and I each chose a team that we would want to face the Patriots and give them a loss. My selection, along with a few others, was the Jaguars. I am not going to back off of my choice and I most likely will lay a little something on the Money Line (+110). I find it odd that the Money Line is so low when the spread is 2 TDs. The Giants are +120 and their line is 6 points less. The Pats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5, though their one cover is against the Steelers, at home, with a line around this number (10.5). Because of that, I am scared. But I am standing by my convictions and will play the Jags at 3-stars.
I am a big fan of the following 4-team tease: SEA +21, JAX +25.5, IND +2.5, NYG +19.5.

There are good bets and there are bad bets. Both have the potential to win; both have the potential to lose. As I sit here the day after a losing bet, I remain convinced that Ohio St. was not a bad bet. I am not going to talk about how Ohio St. should have won, because they shouldn’t have won, they weren’t the best team out there and they made too many mistakes to even deserve consideration that they might have won the game. Even with that, I remain steadfast that OSU was not a bad bet. Please understand that I fully recognize that LSU was a GOOD bet. But a certain solace can be found by the bettors of Ohio St. that is not afforded to a fan of Ohio St. First off, I only need Ohio St. to cover a 13.5 line, which they almost did. (Had the bet been placed earlier that would have been 15.5 points, but I digress). Secondly, despite all their bad play and mistakes, Ohio St. still had chances to cover and to win, but the whole they dug was too deep and the miscues to crucial.
All that being said, this is the second year in a row that the Buckeyes have been selected to play in the Championship game and the second year in a row that they showed us what they and the Big 10 are really made of; which is that they are weak and do not deserve to be considered among the elites in college football. How can the Big 10 turn this perception? For starters they can play a conference championship game. You may ask what that would do? That even if there were a Big 10 championship, Ohio St. could have won that and still made it to to last night’s game. True. However, when a marginal team has to play more games the likelihood that they will lose a game increases, i.e. the Buckeyes losing to Illinois. Granted LSU had two losses this year, but that speaks to the strength of their conference. So, the first thing the Big 10 needs to do is get that extra game on the schedule.
To help the Big 10 complete this task, I have a proposal. My proposal is for Notre Dame to join the Big 10 making it a 12-team conference, and forming two 6-team divisions. This would also solve the ND as an island scenario that exists now and that really screws teams should the Irish ever field a competitive team again. Each Big 10+2 team would play their division mates for 5-games, 3 of their other division schools and have 4 open slots. I have taken the liberty of forming a Big 10 East and a Big 10 West Division. Here is how it would look:
East Division: Michigan, Michigan St., Notre Dame, Purdue, Ohio St., and Penn St.
West Division: Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota, and Northwestern.
With this in place, and with the addition of a Plus-1 scenario, only the Pac 10 needs to get in line and we will be in a much better place.
Ohio St. +3.5
So here it is, the so-called National Championship game. Don’t get too caught up in what people want you to think of this game as, and take it for what it is. Its another Bowl Game and another chance to make some cash. For my money the pick is Ohio St., and here is why. For starters, Ohio St. will find a way to deal with the lay-off, which is overblown. They did not get crushed last year because of the lay-off. They got crushed because their offense was one-dimensional and their defense was suspect. LSU will not, can not, put up the points like The Gators could. In addition, LSU is a few plays away from having 5 losses. Now I know that it speaks well of them to winning close games, and it does, but it also speaks to them playing close games. More power to you if you got OSU at 5.5. If you think the home crowd is going to harm OSU than you didn’t see them take the field in a hostile Beaver Stadium this year. The Buckeyes were unflappable so I don’t see the LSU dominant crowd as being so influential. LSU had a non-cover win against Tulane in the Superdome earlier this year, so perhaps the stadium isn’t so much to the Tigers liking. Lastly, OSU comes into this game the exact opposite as last year. They are supposed to get trounced by the faster, better SEC team, but I just don’t see a beat-down happening.
I have OSU at +13.5 in the last piece of a 3-team Tease, OSU at +3.5 as the last piece of a 3-team parlay and OSU and the Money Line at +145.
It should be noted that I had Florida as a 4-star last year and I am NOT a supporter, fan or even an admirer of OSU.
