Fair disclosure, I've haven't done worth a damn over the past month, so you'll most likely get taken to the cleaners. That being said, here we go!
1. NFL: Miami -3 over Philly
Not that Miami is that good, but Philly looks like they've given up on the season. With each week that goes by, it starts looking more and more like Andy Reid will need to pick up some change of address forms after the season. Maybe Michael Vick, too, if he can't stay healthy. The NFL's "dream team" looks like they should be playing in the CIML, and I'd probably pick the Colts to beat them at this point.

Rex Ryan might run his mouth a lot, but he also puts up when he needs to. The Jets are a team that has been hard to figure out this year, but look to me like they've been more consistent as of late, winning two in a row and are 5-1 at home. There are five teams in the AFC (including NYJ) that are 7-5, likely battling for one playoff spot. The Jets need this one. And besides, KC sucks. I'm actually thinking about cheering for them to stick Stanzi under center as see what he can do.
3. NFL: San Fran -3.5 over Arizona
So a team that's 10-2 is only a three and a half point dog to a team that's 5-7? Am I missing something here? A win over Dallas does not make Arizona a quality team (see: stupid coaching decisions- who ices their own kicker?), and San Fran is the second best team in the NFL right now. This one is an easy call.
4. NFL: Denver -3.5 over Chicago
Well, hate it or love it, Tim Tebow is a winner. It aint pretty, but the kid makes DJ Khalid proud. If Jay Cutler is under center for Chicago, it's a different story. But Denver gets it done at home and wins by a TD.
5. NCAA BB: Iowa State -9.5 over Iowa
All favorites so far, so why switch now? I love Royce White, I like Chris Babb, and I can tolerate Scott Christopherson for ISU. As for Iowa? Four technical fouls against an MVC school is just unacceptable. It was a 20 point blowout that Iowa handed UNI on a silver platter...don't forget - it was a two point game when the T's starting flying. Basabe looks like he's taken three steps back this year, Cartwright has been a cry-baby so far, and Gatens is still the pedestrian 10 points a game guy he was when he came in as a freshman. Sorry Hawks, this one goes to ISU.
6. Andrew Luck wins the Heisman Trophy
It should go to Robert Griffin III, and I hope it does. But Andrew Luck is the chosen one. Remember the same guys that vote on these kind of awards haven't put Joe Jackson or Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame yet.
Have a great weekend.
