AFC & NFC Championship Game Previews & Picks


Championship Sunday is here as the Baltimore Ravens take on the New England Patriots in the early AFC Championship game and the New York Giants take on the San Francisco 49ers in the late NFL Championship game. Here are my previews of both games and predictions for each. AFC Championship Game: Ravens at Patriots Preview: The Ravens want to slow this game with running back Ray Rice in hopes of keeping the Patriots high flying offense of Tom Brady off the field much like the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to do earlier this season.

Week 9 NFL Picks 2011

Oh boy. Back to my losing ways and I felt it in my wallet pretty bad this past week as well. I was 8-5 straight up last week with my picks, but an embarrassing 3-10 against the spread. On the season I am 72-44 straight up and a very disappointing 44-72 against the spread at right about the half way point of the regular season. It will take a near miracle now to even battle back to .500 on the season, but onward I shall go. This has been my worst betting year I can ever remember. Hopefully you have benefited from it. Teams on the bye this week: Detroit, Minnesota, Carolina and Jacksonville. Week Read more [...]

Week 6 NFL Picks 2011

My disappointing year continues as I was 6-7 SU last week and 5-8 ATS overall. Year to date I am 46-31 SU and a very bad 26-51 ATS.
