• Conference Championship day in college football with many intriguing match ups. In the Big 12 championship game, I think that McCoy, Shipley, and Co. will be too much for the Cornhuskers to handle; I like Texas by at least 10. In the ACC championship, I think that Tech’s triple option offense will be too much for Clemson to handle; I like Ga. Tech by 6. The much awaited SEC championship features undefeated Florida and undefeated Alabama. I think that this is a close game as most people expect, but I think that the Gators pull out the victory as Tebow continues to find a way to win close ones.

• College basketball tonight has a lot of the early favorites this year pitted against a bunch of no name teams. (Like Villanova at home versus Farleigh Dickinson and Michigan State at home versus Florida Gulf Coast University) In the games, I like my winners to be Kentucky, Villanova, Michigan State, Duke, Purdue, UConn, Kansas, and the Georgetown Hoyas.
• In tonight’s NBA action I like Orlando, Boston, the Lakers, Trailblazers, Golden State, and the Jazz.
• Tonight the Wilson Hall Barons host the Hammond Skyhawks for a chance at the SCISA State Championship game. This game will come down to who plays the best defense, and I think that it is going to be a toss up, as you could make cases for either team. (Record: 13-2)

Baseball Picks for October 29, 2009

• Game 2 in the World Series, and as much as I like Philly this year, I like that there is no way that the Yankees drop two in a row. I think the Yanks to even things out tonight. (Record: 1-0)

Baseball Picks for October 28, 2009

• 2009 World Series. Game 1. Phillies vs. Yankees. Cliff Lee vs. C.C. Sabathia. Need I say more? If you are looking for a good game, this is going to be where you get it as the Phillies and Cliff Lee travel to New York to take on Sabathia and the Yanks. The numbers stack up so that which ever team takes the first game usually ends up taking the series, and I like Philly in this game, and to repeat as World Series champs. (Record: 1-0)

• In tonights playoff baseball action, and I think that the Angels take the game tonight in New York to force a game 7.

I like Florida State, Florida, Alabama, Boise, Iowa, Cincy, TCU, USC, LSU, Miami, Oregon, Ga. Tech, Oklahoma State, Utah, West Virginia, Houston, Penn State, Pittburgh, Arizona, Kansas, South Carolina, Central Michigan, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Ole Miss in the slate of games today and look forward to seeing the BCS’s second week poll.

• I also like the Phillies to take a 2-1 lead in their series with the Dodgers tonight in the playoffs. (Record: 9-5)

Football and Baseball Picks for October 12, 2009

• In tonights game 4 showdown I like the Phillies as they throw Cliff Lee tonight to move into the next round in four games.
• Tonight’s Monday Night Football match up between the run first Dolphins and the pass first Jets should be a very good one, and I like the Dolphins in this one in a super close game. (Record: 2-0)

Football Picks for October 11, 2009

• My winners for Week 5 in the NFL are the Colts, Bills, Steelers, Cowboys, Vikings, Giants, Eagles, Redskins, Ravens, Broncos, Cardinals, Seahawks, and Falcons.
• I think that the Red Sox take game 3 to stay alive in the best of five playoff series with the Angels. (Record: 10-4)

Football and Baseball Picks for October 10, 2009

• Baseball tonight between the Cardinals and the Dodgers as the Dodgers have a two game lead in the series after the Cardinals and Matt Holiday blew the game. I like the Cards in this one behind the solid arm of starter Joel Piniero.
• Week 6 in College Football features some marquee games with 3 Alabama @ 20 Ole Miss, 25  South Carolina vs. Kentucky, 17 Auburn @ Arkansas, Florida @ LSU, and Michigan @ Iowa. My winners are South Carolina, Kansas, Houston, Texas Tech, Central Michigan, Tenneessee, Auburn, W. Virginia, Penn State, Oklahoma State, Va. Tech, Miami, BYU, TCU, Iowa, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama, North Carolina, Ga. Tech, Pitt, and Rutgers. (Record: 23-2)

Football and Baseball Picks for October 9, 2009

• More playoff baseball tonight, with the Angels and Yankees winners.
• Wilson Hall travels to Augusta Christian tonight to take on the Augusta Chritian Lions. The Lions are a young team, and I think that it shows tonight as the Barons win 28-10 to improve to 5-3. (Record: 3-0)

Playoff Baseball Picks for October 8, 2009

• Game 2 for the Yanks, Phillies and the Cards and game 1 for the Red Sox versus the Angels. I think that the Yankees, Phillies, Cardinals, and the Red Sox all win tonight as each team looks to gain a decided advantage over their opponentswith 2 and 1 game leads in their respective series. (Record: 2-2)

Playoff Baseball Picks for October 7, 2009

• Tonight is the first slate of games in the 2009 MLB playoffs. The first round march ups occurring today are the Twins at the Yankees, the Rockies @ the Phillies, and the Cardinals vs. the Dodgers. In the Twins vs. Yanks game, the Twins come in fresh off a 12 inning win in the play in the game with the Tigers and this can either hurt or help Minnesota and I think that it is going to hurt them seeing as the Yanks chose to play today instead of tomorrow so as to get a leg up on the tired Twins. In the other games, I expect Philly and the Cardinals all to start their postseasons off with 1-0 records. (Record: 2-1)

Baseball Picks for October 6, 2009

• Tonight marks the 163rd game of the regular season. Yes you heard correctly. The Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins finished the season tied atop the AL central at 86-76. This is the play in game to decide who gets into the playoffs to face the Yanks and I think that the Twins will take this game in the wake of the controversy of where it should be played due to last night’s football game. (Record: 1-0)

Football Picks for October 4, 2009

• Week 4 in the NFL will feature some of the best games on the slate so far this year. The Baltimore Ravens will be in Foxboroughto take on the Patriots at 1 on CBS, and on Sunday Night Football, the Chargers will battle the Steelers. Also, on Monday Night Football, the Vikings and Brett Favrewill match up against the Aaron Rodgers led Packers. These should be some of the great games that highlight this week in the NFL.

1. My winners? The Giants (in a blowout), Bears, Colts, Redskins, Texans, 49ers, the Steelers in a good game, the Saints, Bills, Titans, the Bengals, and the Ravens. (Record: 9-3)

• Week 5 in college football and there are not many marquee games this week except for Miami vs. Oklahoma, LSU vs. Georgia, and Cal vs. USC. Look for Alabama, Va. Tech, Iowa, Cincinatti, Boise State, Ohio State, Michigan, LSU, Houston, Miami, TCU, Oregon, Penn State, Ga. Tech, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Auburn, USF, Central Michigan, and South Carolina to all win their week 5 games. (Record: 26-8)

• In College Football action tonight, Look for the 3-1 BYU Cougars to prevail over the Utah State Aggies as they try and get back into BCS-busting contention following the embarrassing loss to Florida State at home. (Record: 8-4)

Baseball Picks for October 1, 2009

• Winners tonight will be Boston, Minnesota, St. Louis, Colorado, Atlanta, the Phillies, Rangers, and Tampa as the season heads into it’s final regular season weekend. (Record: 5-3)

Baseball Picks for September 30, 2009

Baseball Picks for September 29, 2009

• Minnesota (twice), Boston, Philly, Florida, New York, the White Sox, Mets, Cardinals, Rays, Angels, Cubs, and Dodgers all take their games tonight as the season begins to come to a close and the playoffs near. (Record: 8-5)

Baseball and Football Picks for September 28, 2009

• Tonight is the Monday Night Football showdown between the 1-1 Dallas Cowboys and the 0-2 Carolina Panthers. The Cowboys are looking for their first win in the new stadium, and I believe that they get it tonight against the Panthers by at least a score.
• In the baseball action tonight, the White Sox, Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Phillies, Angels, Rockies, and the Rays are all winners tonight as things move closer to the postseason. (Record: 5-3)

Baseball and Football Picks for September 27, 2009

• More baseball today! I presume the winners to be Boston, the Dodgers, the Cardinals, the Angels, the Braves, the White Sox, and the Phillies in the games featuring possible playoff teams.
• Time for week 3 in the NFL! There a few good games this week, like Colts @ Cards, Cowboys vs. Panthers, and the Falcons @ the Patriots. My winners this week are the Steelers, Chargers, Ravens, New England, Jacksonville, Jets, Minnesota, Packers, Redskins, Colts, Eagles, Giants, and Broncos. (Record: 16-5)

College Football Picks for September 26, 2009

• Today’s slate of college football features some really good, meaningful games. Some of these include Miami @ Va. Tech, Texas Tech @ Houston, NC @ Ga. Tech, and TCU @ Clemson. These are a few of the marquee match-ups set to go today, and there are many other games also, including Florida State vs. USF and Iowa @ Penn State.

1. My winners for today are: Texas, Boise State, Miami (in a great game), USC, Oklahoma State, Florida State, Kansas, TCU, Florida, Ohio State, LSU, Cincinatti, Ga. Tech, Wiconsin, Michigan, California, Texas Tech, Penn State, and Alabama. (Record: 15-5)

Baseball Picks for September 25, 2009

• Another slate of baseball games kicks off tonight as some of the key match-ups include Boston @ the Yankees and the Cubs @ the Giants. Boston is coming in as one of the hottest teams, while the Yankees have faltered a bit down the stretch, so look for the BoSoxto continue their success as they sneak past the Yankees tonight. My other predicted winners? The Cards, Phillies, Twins, Cubs, Braves, and the Dodgers each take their games as they each try and get something started before the playoffs. (Record: 3-4)

Baseball and Football Picks for September 24, 2009

• Tonight is the much anticipated SEC showdown between the Mississippi Rebels and the South Carolina Gamecocks. I think that it is going to be a closer game than some might think. Ole Miss is a little overrated sitting at the 4 spot in the polls, and I think that Carolina is going to make a game of it, but it will not be enough as the Rebels sneak past the Gamecocks 30-21.
• There are some not so significant baseball games being played tonight, but I am going to take a stab at picking them anyway. There is Boston playing the Royals as well as the Dodgers facing off against the Nationals. In today’s/tonight’s games, look for Boston, the Dodgers, Detroit, Philly, and the Reds to win as the 2009 playoffs loom. (Record: 5-1)

Baseball Picks for September 22, 2009:

• The Red Sox look to improve to 9-3 over their last 11 after the tough loss to the Royals. Although they face Zach Greinke, the Royals ace, I believe that they find a way to pull out a win 5-2 as they look to further distance themselves from the Rangers in the wild card race.
• The Yankees are 4-6 in their last 10 games and are slipping and sliding their way into the playoffs as the end of the season nears. They throw chad Gaudin out to the mound tonight to face the powerful Angels line-up and I think that the lineup gets to Gaudin as the Yankees fall 6-2 and go to 4-7 over their last 11. (Record: 0-2)
