The Giant Bet

Yeah, I just thought I'd post a little reminder/story on here, for memories sake. On Sunday, Drake and I were talking (fighting) about the NFL games that week, and he tells me that Brian and his dad went to Pittsburgh for the Steelers game. I was like WTF??? Haha, but yeah, I then I was like "awww, too bad he's gonna have to see em lose..." And Drake was like "NOO WAYY, they're gonna kill the Giants." Long story short, Drake and I decided on a bet that wasn't to heavy (cause I told him I didn't want to take too much from him) or dealing directly with cash. So we decided on a $3 at McDonald's bet with me with the Giants, and D-Rock with the Steelers. Anyways, it was a pretty close game, but in the end, the G-Men came out on top 21-14 after picking off Big Ben four times. And since the U-Verse guy is (supposedly, haha) coming on Saturday at 8am, I told Drake to have my coffee and whatnot there for me when I wake up. And he told me no way. So then I said, "Alright, if the Titans win, you have to. If they lose, then I'll go get it myself." He reluctantlt agreed. And guess who won and is now 7-0? Hahaaaa. Good stuff bro.

NFL Predictions: Week Eight

Wooo my 70th post on this bad boy!! Not bad when you consider that the first two years combined had like less than 20 posts. Anyways, HUGE Monday Nighter for the Titans this week. But they'll take it. Don't even worry about itttt. The Vikes have a bye week too. And there's not Sunday Night game either. So basically there is no real motivation for me to watch football on Sunday. Obviously I still will. And then Monday I will be on the couch the second I get home to watch NFL Live and PTI and what not break down my game. I'm freakinggg pumpeddd. 

Buccaneers over Cowboys

Redskins over Lions

Bills over Dolphins

Patroits over Rams

Saints over Chargers

Jets over Chiefs

Eagles over Falcons

Ravens over Raiders

Panthers over Cardinals

Jaguars over Browns

Texans over Bengals

Giants over Steelers

Seahawks over 49ers

TITANS over Colts

Little Brother Time

It's the big Michigan vs Michigan State game tomorrow. This is maybe the worst Wolverines team we have seen, ever; and on the other side, this is one of the best Spartan teams we've seen, at least in a little while. Which would make all sign point to a Spartan, or little brother victory. Most people think MSU will take it, and everyone agrees that this is a big game for both teams. But I'm going to have to take my Wolverines. I'm not going to guess a finals score because that would be pointless, but I say Michigan by 12. Some other big games that I have chosen include me taking Texas over Kansas in a battle of ranked Big 12 teams. Let's say Texas Tech by 13. I am also going to have to say that Texas will remain unbeaten and number one when they face Oklahoma State, who is currently number six in the land. Texas by 17. I also will take my national title pick Penn State over a reenergized Ohio State team. Hmmm, final line I'll say will be Penn State by 6.

Ready to Pop

Ahhh. I don't know who to take in this World Series. I took Philly from the beginning, but I just don't know now. Tampa looked so strong against the BoSox it was crazy. In the end, I think I'm going to have to go with my now feeling instead of my then feeling. I'm taking the Rays. I have to. I'm sorry. The feeling is just too strong now to ignore. Now the question is, in how many? Woooo. I'm going to say that they'll put them away quicker than they did with the Red Sox. Mainly because the Red Sox are better than the Phils. I'm going to say Rays in 6. Just like the Tampa headline read about a week ago when the Rays went up 3-1 in the ALCS, the Rays are "Ready to Pop." And I'm thinking they will. Plus, I'm thinking this time off will hurt the Phillies, just like it did to the Rockies last year. I'm not really rooting for either team in this one, but it should be a fun one to watch...

NFL Predictions: Week Seven

No time for any of this nonsense. Just getting em down.... for the seventh straight week babyyy. Haha, that's actually an accomplishment for me...

Chargers over Bills

Bears over Vikings

Steelers over Bengals

Titans over Chiefs

Panthers over Saints

Cowboys over Rams

Ravens over Dolphins

Giants over 49ers

Texans over Lions

Jets over Raiders

Redskins over Browns

Colts over Packers

Buccaneers over Seahawks

Broncos over Patriots

That Was Magic

Yes, I am that guy who turned off his TV in the middle of the 7th inning because the Rays were up 7-0. It was also a school night, and we were having our first full day since Tuesday. I also had a little bit of homework to finish up, and wanted to catch up on some lost sleep. And it was nice to get that extra hour of sleep in. But boy did I make a mistake. I ended up missing the improbable comeback by a Red Sox team that ended up being the best game of the year. The thing is though, I knew the Red Sox weren't 100% dead. I knew that they were probably the only team in the majors, that if put in that situation, could make it out alive. And they did. But I just wasn't expexcting it. Now here's the thing. Alot of people are saying that Rays are still going to win the series. They say that Beckett is injured, which is true, and that he is just no where near the same Beckett we've seen so many times before in the postseason, dating back to his days as World Series MVP with the Marlins in 2003, as well as last year's epic performances. But I'm saying something completely different. I'm telling you that the magic has already begun, so there is no stopping it now. Despite Tampa being next to amazing at home, the Red Sox will win this game. Josh Beckett will show up and be better than everyone thinks, throwing Boston into a game seven. When the Red Sox magoc starts, there's no stopping it. I came on here to type this up because I am that confident that it will happen, that I felt I needed to get it down so everyone can see how amazing I really am. 

Game Six, 2008 ALCS, Boston 3 - Tampa 2

Titanrific

Yeah, this is just a comment I posted on an ESPN.com thing that was debating who the best team in the league is. They had it between the Giants, Steelers, and Titans. And you know who I took. Haha, but yeah, I just though I should post this bad boy. Haha, and the font is all messed up because I copied and pasted. Anyways, here it is:

Tennessee Titans hands down. I said that even before the Giants got rocked by the Browns. I've been a Titans fan ever since I was nine years old, and I'm going to have to say that this defense looks better than the 1999 defense that took them to the Super Bowl. The Colts are getting healthy, so they should be on the radar eventually unfortunately. The NFC East is also looking like a beast, so a possible Super Bowl matchup with any of those four teams should be feared for TitanNation, but I'm going to have to say the Steelers aren't even in my top five. Injuries and sloppy offensive play has them wayyy down. In the end, my boys the Tennessee Titans are the number team in the NFL, mainly due to the fact that they have the best defense in the league and the best coach in the league.

NFL Predictions: Week Six

Titans bye this week, so I'm lacking motivation to go into depth on anything at all this week. Or even to watch any of these games. Lions at Vikings is big because of the whole family rivalry thing, and I think that they best game of the week is the Ravens and Colts. I did take alot of upsets this week though, like the winless Texans beating the upstart Dolphins, the winless Bengals beating Favre's Jets, and the Jags topping the Broncos. But yeah, I am already done here. Here are the picks...

Bears over Falcons

Panthers over Buccaneers

Redskins over Rams

Texans over Dolphins

Ravens over Colts

Vikings over Lions

Saints over Raiders

Bengals over Jets

Jaguars over Broncos

Cowboys over Cardinals

Eagles over 49ers

Packers over Seahawks

Chargers over Patriots

Giants over Browns

It's All About Man-Ram

These two LCS's are looking like some really good matchups, and definitely ones that no one expected. Most people thought that the Cubs would at least get through the Dodgers, who barely made it out of that horrible NL West; and alot of people thought that the Angels would be able to take their 100 win season at least to the next round of the playoffs. Anyways, I don't really want this to sound like a news article or essay, but yeah, I only got one out of four right in the DLS. I took the Phillies to win it all, and they are the only team still alive, that I actually got right. Though, after seeing the Dodger's pitching and bats against the Cubs, I really don't see them falling to the Phils. Especially with Manny Ramirez, who is basically a god in October. Anyways, I'm going to go against my intial pick, and take the Dodgers in 6 in this tight NLCS matchup. Should be fun... Then there's the ALCS. With the two division rivals going against each other in the Red Sox and Rays, we should be in for one sweet series. I pretty much hate the Red Sox, just like everyone else other than those that live in Boston, so I find myself rooting for the Rays. Though I have got to tell you; there is nothing more that I would like to see than Manny go up against his old team, the Red Sox, in the World Series. And to see him hitting homers at Fenway in a different jersey? Oh, that would just be the best. Because I love Manny. And hate the Sox. But in the end, I really do think Boston's experience will win out (just like I said be the first game of the season)... so yeah, Boston in 5. And then? Well, I'm not going to say anything about LA and Boston in the World Series till I see anymore of this postseason. But yeah, I'd have to go with the Sox eventually beating out Manny and the Dodgers... just like the NBA Finals, huh? Hahaa.

NFL Predictions: Week Five

Yeah, the computer is broken, and I really don't know how much time I have, so I gotta get through these kinda fast, if you know what I mean. Haha, but yeah, the Titans beat the Vikings last week, so basically everything is good. Drake has nothing on me, and I'm riding high at 4-0. There's some pretty good matchups this week, and Drake's got his Vikings playing on his birthday, on Monday Night Football, which id actually pretty sick how it worked out that way. Anyways, once again, I don't really have time to go into depth, so I'm just putting these badboys on here just because I'm cool like that. Here we go....

Bears over Lions

Packers over Falcons

Chargers over Dolphins

Giants over Seahawks

Eagles over Redskins

Panthers over Chiefs

Titans over Ravens

Colts over Texans

Broncos over Buccaneers

Bills over Cardinals

Patriots over 49ers

Cowboys over Bengals

Jaguars over Steelers

Vikings over Saints

MLB Playoffs 2008

Yeah, so it's time for the 2008 October Showdown. Should see some pretty good ball this year, with the Cubs trying to break that 100 year curse, the Phillies trying to win a playoff game for the first time in 15 years, the White Sox barely making in in through a 1-0 playoff game win over the Twins, the Rays in their first ever playoff game, the Brewers making it in with a young squad, fresh manager, and over the collapsing Mets, as well as the Dodgers with their newly traded for gem Manny Ramirez, plus Manny's old team, the wildcard Red Sox. And then don't forget the top dogs, the LA Angels, who won 100 games this year, saw K-Rod set the single season saves record, and went out and traded for Mark Texiera. Anyways, looks to be a good playoff this year, and I'll put down my guesses not only for this LDS, but also the LCS and World Series. Here we gooo....

White Sox over Rays in 4

I just think experience will take over. It's Tampa's first ever playoffs, so you can't blame them..

Angels over Red Sox in 5

The Red Sox will take them down to the wire, but the loss of Manny will hurt too much and end up costing them against the best team on paper.

Phillies over Brewers in 3

Sweep here. The Brewers made it in, which deems their season a success, but there's really no question here on who the dominant team is.

Cubs over Dodgers in 3

Another sweep, due to the Cub's first three starters of Dempster, Zambrano, and Harden. Way too good for the LA Blue. Though if the bad Z shows up and Manny comes alive, look for the curse to possibly stay alive...

LCS:

White Sox over Angels

I don't know why. Just kinda of a gut feeling that Ozzie will be on top of things, and that their experience will pervail.

Philles over Cubs

Uhhoh. The Curse continues. Haha, in my opnion, they just jad three MVPs in three years. With a pretty good rotation and revived closer, they'll get the job done, which a little help from The Curse.

World Series:

Phillies over White Sox

Yeah, I'm taking the Phils this year. It isn't really a common sense guess, or anything like that. Just kind of a gut feeling, and really do think that they're the best team in the majors. And I'm alot more certain that the Phils will make than the White Sox making it. To tell you the truth, I have no idea about the AL. That league is pretty much wide open, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Angels or Red Sox here instead of the White Sox.
