2009 NHL Playoff Predictions

Since I regrettably am not a hockey fanatic, I cannot spend my time dissecting each team like I did for NBA. The difference between the two leagues is NBA players are well-known while the NHL has more of a team nucleus...

Are the Missouri Tigers the Real Deal?

The Missouri Tigers have fooled us before, but the difference this season is that they are winning in conference play. In seasons past (as well as this one), the Tigers have had a relatively easy non-conference schedule to raise their win total...

NFL Playoffs: Dream or Nightmare?

The only certain thing about the NFL Playoffs in 2008 is uncertainty. In the first two weeks, only three favored team, ranking wise, won their respective games. Plus the supposedly overrated Arizona Cardinals beat the Falcons in Week One...

Rams: 5-11

The St. Louis Rams will go 5-11, because of their tough schedule to start off season. They played on Sunday and looked like the offensive lineman were picked straight off the street strictly for their size and Bulger look like a crash test dummy...
