NFC Championship Game

After the Eagles loss tonight the future has already been predicted.  Eagles @ Falcons...that is not a prediction..that is what it's gonna be..

Pick of the Day: Angel (Adriana II)

Sorry about the hiatus but it is good to be back.  We're coming back strong with Adriana though so it's all good.  This is the only time you will see Adriana at a 7 confidence level.  Iowa would be such a sleeper pick to win (in my eyes) because they aren't that good of a team and they have 5 losses in the Big Ten. Plus, Mizzou has Blaine Gabbert at QB...he is a pretty good QB.  Going to be a good one to watch!!

John Kerry

"If you haven't figured out how good Vick is by now, we don't know what to tell you. He has been responsible for 12 touchdowns in the past four games alone and appears to just be getting warmed up."     -ESPN





-that was their witty response for his fantasy matchup this week..projected 25 points. ESPN when you were busy bashing Michael Vick and saying he might never play again I was sitting there waiting (just like Michael) for his release from prison.  I knew he was going to be a stud and it was only a matter of time before he would bust out.  This little blurb is called John Kerry because oh how fickle we [ESPN] are for flip flopping on Michael Vick.  You bash him and bash him for two years and now when he has returned to the elite status you jump back on the wagon and act like you've been there.  You haven't!! And being a smart ass about it doesn't make you look any better.  What he did was wrong. Yes.  That doesn't take anything away from his athletic abilities or make him a lesser player.  I never jumped off the bandwagon because you can't jump off the bandwagon of the most electrifying player in the NFL..did I mention he is a quarterback.  Notoriously a position held by a slow, white, unathletic person.  I love Mike Vick. I hated Vince Young. I love Cam Newton.  TBD Terrelle Pryor.  FST out.

Pick of the Day: Aylar

Today we went with the Basshunter girl Aylar Lie.  She's pretty great and so is the Indiana Hoosiers Basketball team.  Well the Hoosiers aren't there yet but in a few years FST sees them as a for sure top 15 team every year.  Basketball is huge in Indiana.  They love it and that is why they breed 6'7" basketball players turned doctors.  Yeah Indiana is a great state!!

Pick of the Day: Indiana (-4) vs Northern Iowa........INDIANA

Pick of the Day: Jenn

An interesting pick here today as we are going with Brett Favre's favorite squeeze and against his alma mater.  Maybe we are inferring that he is guilty because we are going against his team but I can never know for sure.  We need Louisville to improve to 4-0 in bowl games....we posted our picks a few posts back!!

Pick of the Day record: 4-4

Pick of the Day: Selita

I think we are sitting at 4-3 for the pick of the day record and we will try to improve that with tonight's Heat vs Mavericks game.  I must go with the Heat again so let's go.  I am not very confident in this game but the Heat will be playing at home and if their winning streak would get snapped before they play the Lakers on Christmas day it would happen tonight.


Pick of the Day: Dallas Mavericks @ Miami Heat......HEAT

Stock Tip of the Day: DELL (DELL)..i want this stock to pullback into the $12 range.  It is a historically  great play around $12/share.  If the stock goes the other way and starts to go up back to $14 then we will have to wait for it to drop again. So no worries.

DeSean Jackson ***

I saw the game winning Punt Return last night and this guy is an absolute stud.  My boy Mel Kiper Jr. and I had him as a 1st round grade (Mel had him top 10 at one point..Mel>Todd) but somehow a few intelligent GM's took some GREAT WR's over him.

2008 NFL Draft Round 2
1st WR Taken: St. Louis (#33)- Donnie Avery WR Houston
Washington (#34) Devin Thomas WR  Michigan State
Green Bay (#36) Jordy Nelson WR Kansas State    (isn't Ted Thompson considered a GREAT GM)
Buffalo Bills (#41) James Hardy WR Indiana
Denver Broncos (#42) Eddie Royal WR VA Tech
Houston Texans (#46) Jerome Simpson WR Coastal Carolina
Philadelphia Eagles (#49) DeSean Jackson WR Cal




According to FST calculations, I count one other notable WR on this list and it is Eddie Royal.  The rest of them suck, are out of the league, or should be out of the league.  Don't come at me with that Jordy Nelson garbage either. Kinda funny every year I think the Eagles and Andy Reid have some of the best drafts (I was pretty high on Jamar Chaney their 7th round pick LB) and finally they are clicking and are probably last year's version of the New Orleans Saints.  The storyline is already formulating...Mike Vick returns to ATL for the NFC Championship game and then will have to beat either NE or PIT in the Super Bowl.  If you have been following the Super Bowl Poll we had the teams that  could win it and the NFC.  If the NFC has a chance Mike Vick is going to have to lead them to victory!!

Can I get an all PA Super Bowl PHI vs PIT?!?

I want to introduce you to this 10 team, 6 pt teaser, 25:1

In order of "Loch Ness"

6) Colts (+1.5)

10) Arizona (+8.5)

Parlay coming now!!! Yippeee!

I just looked at the spreads and it brought a smile to my face when I saw the Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints yielded a spread of only (-1) points.  Why does that bring me a smile? Well I said it was the game of the week (thus "on paper" it should have the smallest spread right?!) Well it does.  The american public was pretty close with the Eagles and Giants having a spread of (-3) points.  I tried to make a point a few days ago that the 40% (of the vote) that the NYG and PHI game yielded was the american public being the american public and once again FST just giving lucid information that no one else provides.  My game yielded the lowest % with only 15% of the vote so only 15% of the population is as good as Vegas...and that seems about right to me.  That is why Vegas makes so much money..because of the other 85%.  So what that is saying is I'm like Vegas and you are you....the person who gives money to Vegas.  Thus, at the end of the day who are you going to trust? Vegas or some "average joe"??? Well I guess the choice is yours.

Pick of the Day: Adriana

Ok for today's pick of the day we have selected Adriana Lima.  The game she will be representing was today's matchup of the Philadelphia Flyers vs New York Rangers.  As of right now, the score is 2-0 but I will continue this post as if I posted it before the game.


New York Rangers @ Philadelphia Flyers.....FLYERS

Stock Tip of the Day: A-Power Energy (APWR)....currently trading at $5.10

Pick of the Day: Tyra (gestern)

I want to apologize but yesterday we were traveling and were unable to update the blog.  However, we still made our picks and hit them.  Yesterday, we had to go with "The Boys" at the Gaaaaarden.  They trounced them so chalk it up.


Yesterday's Pick of the Day: Miami Heat (-5) @ New York Knickerbockers........EN FUEGO
.......lines via covers.com

Stock Tip of the Day: Las Vegas Sands (LVS)...this stock moves with the economy and it took a slight dip but is quickly recovering. I would hedge this stock all the way down to $40.  It won't drop below $40 so invest now at $46 and if it goes down BUY all the way down to $40.



Since we missed yesterday's pick of the day it was only fitting to provide an "old school" Sports Illustrated swimsuit model picture.  Tyra looks great (probably 90's picture) but now she is more interested in daytime television. Psshhhh you fool.


Pick of the Day confidence: 7/10

39 pts, 10 reb last night vs Celts #justsayin

Just FST Scouting!!

Kind of funny that Joe Webb is starting this week.  Most of you have no idea who this guy is...don't worry you're not missing out.  Every year I do mock drafts for the Pittsburgh Steelers and in the 7th round of every draft I picked Joe Webb UAB QB/SLASH.  However, Joe Webb was drafted by the Vikings in the 6th round.  I wanted Joe Webb as a Kordell Stewart/Randle El type player that would come in wildcat and goal line packages as a change of pace QB that could run or throw.  After we signed Randle El (and we already have Dixon) I started removing him from my mock drafts because that was a waste of a draft pick.  But the point is FST Scouting drafts rookies that are actually relevant.  What do I mean? Some names that found themselves in EVERY SINGLE MOCK DRAFT FOR THE STEELERS WERE: Mike Williams WR Syracuse (3rd round) or Jacoby Ford (4th round) [depending on what needs I addressed first], LeGarette Blount RB, Perish Cox (5th round), Joe Webb (7th round).  You might be asking yourself so what they aren't that good?? Your NFL team cuts these players (LATE ROUND GEMS...see (ABOUT ME section) and every one of these players has had a good year!!

Do any of your NFL team's late round rookies even make the team, play, dress, or start. Probably not! That is FST Scouting for you!!

Pick of the Day: Marisa

The Lakers were an absolute lock last night and I couldn't believe it was on Streak for the Cash.  If you hadn't noticed by now Streak for the Cash is ESPN's spin on Vegas as the spread for the Lakers game was 4 points yesterday and they had just choose a winner.  Now everyone who is anyone wants to know who is going to win tonight as football is the #1 sport.  Well I got it for you.  We will be taking the San Francisco 49ers (+10) in the Inconsistency Bowl (December 16th, 8:20PM ET) as the Bolts will be facing the 49ers.  In games with two teams that suck, who are also inconsistent, I will usually take the points.  I think Alex Smith is terrible but he played well last week and hopefully the 49ers show up tonight because they can still win the NFC West.


Pick of the Day: SF 49ers (+10) @ San Diego Chargers......49ERS
....lines via sportsbook.com

Stock tip of the day: Newmont Mining (NEM)...this is a gold mining company and it is approaching a BUY range again.  The stock is currently down today and trading under $60.  This stock is a good BUY in the $58 range but that is where some resistance is.  So be careful but once the stock approaches resistance and starts to go back up invest HEAVILY in NEM as it is a pretty safe stock.  If you invest heavy you can easily receive 8% return in a short amount of time.  Thus, a $100,000 investment would yield $8,000 in a week or two.


Pick of the Day confidence: 4/10


Pick of the Day record: 2-2

NFL MVP/Comeback Player of the Year

I don't know why there is even a discussion for MVP and Comeback player of the year.  I said a few weeks via our twitter Tom Brady had already locked up MVP and anyone who thinks any other player is more deserving is foolish.  The comeback player of the year is Michael Vick.  In the beginning of the year, I was sooooo confident Big Ben Roethlisberger would win comeback player of the year but Mike Vick has been too dirty this year and he is definitely more deserving than Ben.


NFL MVP: Tom Brady
Comeback Player of the Year: Mike Vick

What is the NFL game of the week for Week 15??

New Orleans @ Baltimore

Green Bay @ New England

Philadelphia @ New York Giants

Jacksonville @ Indianapolis

New York Jets @ Pittsburgh

(please note I used relevance to decide which game was the best/most enticing to watch)

..this was a sportsnation poll last night and I was SHOCKED to see the results of the supposed "best game of the week" by the american public.  Apparently, the best game here is Philadelphia @ NYG according to 40+% of the public.  It is quite ironic here that the answer I voted and the correct answer was voted the least by the public (Sportsnation F grade for drafting Chris Johnson with the 24th pick...oh no not AGAIN).  Does this surprise me? No. What the american public doesn't know is what makes them the american public.    (..tommy boy quote if you caught it)

The best game here is clearly New Orleans @ Baltimore (15% of the vote).  You have the best team in the NFC (if you don't think so, you're wrong) vs the Baltimore Ravens (#3 vs #5 in the power rankings). I don't know how else to explain it. That's the answer.  A great defense vs an explosive offense.  If this game was in New Orleans I would clearly take the Saints but since it is in Baltimore this game will be decided by 3 pts or less.

The next best game is (unbiased) the New York Jets @ Pittsburgh Steelers.  I see the Steelers winning this game and this is the game that has been on my schedule the whole year.  As you can see, two of these teams are on my poll of who will win the Super Bowl...thus making it quite an important/exciting game.  I would rate it less important than the Ravens/Saints because the Jets don't have what it takes to win the Super Bowl (anymore) mainly because of Mark Sanchez's ineptitude.  Thus, the Ravens and Saints (what NFC team means in the Super Bowl poll) is more of an important and better game because the Steelers could dominate the Jets...but unlikely Steelers 20 Jets 13

The third best game of the week is Green Bay @ New England.  I believe this is a better game (on paper) than the Jets/Steelers but I could see the Patriots winning by at least a TD so it won't be that good of a game.  The Packers are a very good team but the Patriots are a force to be reckoned with.  The Packers have too many holes for any playoff run and this is not the year for Mr. Rodgers.

Finally, Cedric Benson is selected with the fourth pick of the NFL draft.  This is the game that received 40% of the american public vote for the best game of the week.  The game is Philadelphia @ New York Giants.  I believe this game received the highest because of the two large markets in Philadelphia and New York...well at least I hope so.  This is a great game.  Yes.  Will it be close?  Yes.  Then why isn't it the game of the week? Relevance.  I can not fully deny the Philadelphia Eagles a chance of the Super Bowl because of Michael Vick, but I could very well see the New York Giants taking this game from the Eagles making the Eagles a wildcard team and almost eliminating the chance of the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.  New York Giants fans...sorry no Super Bowl for you this year. Your team is not elite. Maybe next year.

Game 5: JAX @ IND....despite all of the injuries I still see Indy winning this game over the bullshit non for real Jaguars.  Let's Go Sheriff!!

Wrap-Up

1) NO @ BAL (elite vs elite)

2) NYJ @ PIT (former elite vs elite)

3) GB @ NE (top 10 NFL team vs elite)

4) PHI @ NYG (almost elite vs top 10 NFL team)

5) JAX @ IND (Not relevant this year..sorry Peyton)

-using Kindergarten math you can evaluate and determine a game with elite teams is better than a game with non-elite teams.  

Chicago!!!!

I just want to take a second and talk about basketball and this past year's free agency.  How time has passed.  I remember a few years ago waiting and looking at ESPN and thinking the 2010 NBA free agency would be the craziest of all-time.  I look at this year and this class is nothing to talk about so I won't.  However, the one name that sticks out is Carmelo Anthony and he NEEDS to go to New York.  Think about it for the game of basketball.  You now have the three best teams in the three biggest markets so there is more exposure and more money generated for the sport.  It also makes sense because adding a Carmelo Anthony to that roster and maybe (Tony Parker??) and you have yourself a squad.


1-Raymond Felton
2-Tony Parker (I love Manu Ginobli personally..he's a lefty)
3-Carmelo Anthony
4-Danilo Gallinari
5-Amare Stoudemire


Now you must be asking yourself what this has to do with Chicago?? Well I will tell you.  I just watched the Michael Jordan response to LeBron video and it just made me think of Chicago and how much of a botch it was this past summer getting Carlos Boozer over Amare Stoudemire (that's why I talked about New York earlier).  As you can see this year, Amare has been on fire and is almost unstoppable...Blake Griffin has been unstoppable and is my #1 PF (4) in the league.  Amare was only a few more million a year and he is more explosive than Boozer and would fit nicely with Derrick Rose...who is also explosive (can you say transition points??).   The Bulls should have never been trying to get LeBron from the beginning and should have settled for Amare..because to me settling for Amare is a hell of a deal! Then they should have tried for D Wade and once he said (Heat 3 Peat) they should have called Amare and struck a deal.  However, they settled for Boozer and that is not going to make this an elite team.  This summer was so important for the Bulls (because of their young core DRose/Noah) and adding a third piece to the puzzle such as Amare would make them an upper echelon team and a title contender. But now D Rose is going to have to take his game to a new level for the Bulls to succeed b/c the Bulls aren't better than the Lakers or Heat..but could beat Celts, Spurs, Thunder in a series.

Now looking back (in disbelief) I actually discussed the possibility of this kind of Chicago Bulls Roster and it is disgusting....get Amare 1st piece of puzzle then the rest will fall.


1-Derrick Rose
2-Dwayne Wade
3-LeBron James
4-Amare Stoudemire
5-Joakim Noah

After you get Amare you call D Wade and go "we got three stars here, why don't you return home and be part of a championship". He obliges.  Then you call LeBron James "king coward"(in some people's eyes) and go why don't you come to Jordan's house and put up 10 on the board..because that is the only way you can beat him!! He obliges and you use the rest of the roster as cow filler (these would be gems on FST teams).  However, now Jordan can clown on you LeBron, and he did in that commercial.  That might be the fuel you need to take your game and the Heat to the next level. So we will see what happens.


-also if you don't think that Knicks roster is sick then you are dumb and I can't explain it to you. King Coward II (R.N.) would love games in the Gaaarden with that roster!

Pick of the Day: Victoria

Close game last night and Evgeni Malkin had two goals in his return but it wasn't enough as the Pens fell to the Flyers and their 12 game win streak was broken. This pick is on streak for the cash and it is the biggest lock of all time.  I'm currently sitting at a streak of 5 and after tonight it will be six.  The game is LAL @ IND.  Please take the Lakers! That is all. Enjoy six of the hottest women in the world for the streak of 6.

Pick of the Day: LAKERS

Stock Tip for the Day:  McDonalds (MCD)...nice dividend and it is currently trading at 77.  Want to see it pullback to $75 and then you'll be looking at a 10-15% return in the stock and the last dividend was $.61/share or around a 1% gain.  McDonalds is always a safe investment and a decent return at the current trading price...minimal risk!!


Pick of the Day record: 1-2

Pick of the Day: Denise

Tough break last night with the Heat winning by 12.  Hornets were covering and in good shape up until the first half (Hornets winning at half) before they started to unravel.  I am not extremely confident in tonight's pick but the Penguins have been dominant and Evgeni Malkin is supposed to play tonight.  The Penguins could very well be the best team in the NHL right now and they have been playing without Jordan Staal, Evgeni Malkin, Zybanek Michalek, and a few others during the season....so they will only get better.  Hopefully the Penguins will look as good as Denise Milani tonight.

Pick of the Day: Penguins (+111) @ PHI......PENGUINS
....lines via covers.com

Stock to invest in: Apple (AAPL)...this is a long-term position on the stock as we (Go Green Investments) value AAPL at over $400/share....currently trading at $320...add AAPL to your portfolio and it will look as good as Denise!!



Pick of the Day record: 1-1

Pick of the Day: Gemma

I am glad I kicked off the birth of the Pick of the Day with a Patriots trouncing of the Chicago Bears and a start of 1-0.  That was a 'cigar game' and I hope you either enjoyed it as much as I did or at least made a few bucks out of the deal.  I was able to watch the game with a few BEARS fans up until the point where CBS made the executive decision that they would switch the game b/c of the disgusting display the Bears were putting on for us.  Anyway, we went with Gemma Atkinson today as well as the Charlotte Hornets (+10.5). The Hornets are not a bad team and I was surprised they were getting double digit points @ Miami.  I am a Heat fan and I plan on double dipping this evening as in a Heat victory by less than 10 points!

Pick of the Day: Hornets (+10.5) @ Heat......HORNETS

Stock Pick of the Day: VISA (V) stock currently @ $80 and I expect the holiday season to help boost the stock in the 90's within a month!!

Week 15 Power Rankings

1) New England Patriots
2) Pittsburgh Steelers
3) New Orleans Saints
4) Atlanta Falcons
5) Baltimore Ravens
6) Philadelphia Eagles
7) New York Giants
8) New York Jets
9) Tampa Bay Bucs
10) Green Bay Packers
11) Chicago Bears
12) Jacksonville Jaguars

Projected AFC Playoff

#1 New England Patriots (14-2)
#2 Pittsburgh Steelers (13-3)
#3 Kansas City Chiefs (11-5)
#4 Jacksonville Jaguars  (10-6)
#5 Baltimore Ravens  (12-4)
#6 New York Jets (11-5)


I believe the AFC south will come down to the last week between Jacksonville @ Houston.  Houston will be out of the division but Jacksonville will need to win that game to finish with Indy at 10-6.

I also believe the AFC west will be won by the KC Chiefs b/c I see them winning out.

...that's the AFC.  NFC coming tomorrow as well as tomorrow's Pick of the Day!!

Pick of the Day: Eva

This is a new little frill to the website.  I'm going to give my favorite game of any sport and most likely be right on it.  The lines will be via covers.com.

Whoops

I sympathize with anyone who had Colts (-3) that was brutal.  But we tease here so no worries 1 down, 9 to go....Bo Scaife as time expires...heinous  30-28 FINAL


I want to make it a point that for those of you who had Colts (+3) you were never losing that bet at one point in that game and that is why it was a lock and #3 on our "Loch Ness" list

Lock of the year already hits!!

Colts (-3) or (+3 if u tease) this game is already over with 1:53 left in the 1st....my prediction Colts by 17!! You're welcome.

Michael Vick

When I tell you I am the best talent evaluator I have ever seen I am not fucking around.  I got hated on when I suggested the Steelers needed Chris Johnson RB ECU and then once again when i suggest the Steelers sign Mike Vick.  This pretty much happens every time and I just let my knowledge do the talking (every time) because negligent, unintelligent people won't bring me down b/c I know talent when I see it and I'll just keep doing me..this is from my facebook from 2009, pre-twitter for me. Side note also said see ya to Willie Parker and Jeff Reed would be gone and finally the Steelers realized it was time for Reed to go a month ago.

My innocent just knowledgeable status- July 28, 2009

Would love to see Michael Vick in black and gold!

three responses 

1) rapist and a dog killer...beautiful QB situation

2) hahahaha

3) no fucking way chris! i'm all for giving him a second chance, but not with the Steelers! we can win the super bowl without him. plus, we have zero cap room. so forget about it.

That is why when I tell you I am the best talent evaluator I really am.  All i do is provide lucid information and of course the "average joe" immediately hates on the decision.  We are now 1.5 years since that statement and you can see the results...#1 pro bowl vote getter, electrifiying QB, and possible super bowl starting QB.  Big Ben + Vick (on the same team) could be the most deadly combination of QB's of all time.  And yes Mike Vick deserved a second chance, we would win super bowls with him, and his salary is very low so any team had the cap room for him.  Today on Jim Rome he said "no one saw this coming"...i did!!! Mike Vick is a *** and one of my favorite QB's of all time.  Now could you imagine a backfield with Vick, CJ, and Big Ben....the possibilities are endless.  And you probably have a 15-1 team..no big deal

ALESSANDRA

Hey guys in spirit of the recent Victoria Secret's fashion show I have named this after Alessandra Ambrosio.  Well here she is:

In order of "Loch Ness" (#1 biggest lock, #10 least lock)
1) Packers (-1)
2) Falcons (-1.5)
3) Colts (+3)
4) Steelers (-3)
5) Patriots (+3)
6) Jets (EVEN)
7) Chiefs (+13)
8) Saints (-3.5)
9) Ravens (+3)
10) Bucs (+4)

-Alessandra is a 10 tm, 6 pt teaser that pays 25:1
  ..Alessandra is a DIME!

Patriots @ Bears

The spread hasn't come out yet because the Patriots played tonight but I would put the spread at (-8) New England....this game is played in Chicago as well. We'll see what the spread is probably tomorrow! Goodnight!!

^{....i will not throw out the Hoosiers to the wolves and feed them to a SEC team}

This season length is perfect in my opinion and the teams that aren't bowl eligible won't be playing past Thanksgiving.  We are starting the year a week earlier and are giving teams an extra BYE week so it cancels it out.  We are in essence planning a RIVALRY WEEK strategically around a holiday b/c families can trash talk and watch their favorite rivalry game with relatives...hoping families went to rival schools Pitt-Penn State, Purdue-IU, etc. so they pay money and go to the game and spend money to help the schools involved, NCAA, economy, etc.

Teams in bowls and the playoff are rewarded to keep playing by all of the money that will be generated from bowl games and playoff...teams are essentially begging for more games to help fund their football program. Reason for playoff is TCU this year/who is going to be left out next year? We made it 10 teams because everything is a top 10 thing and thus the top 10 teams are rewarded

Broncos Fire McDaniels!!

Good move by the Broncos and by the looks of last year's draft things weren't going to get any better in Denver.  His first mistake was Demaryius Thomas over Dez Bryant and then failed again when he took Tim Tebow in the 1st round.  I was one of the few who liked Colt Mccoy (who reminds me of a young Drew Brees: shortER,  pin-point accuracy, scrappy, football player) and he would have fit nicely in on that roster...but now they need WR, QB, DEFENSE, OL, and playmakers or ***.  They also need a new head coach and the top three coaches for next year are: Bill Cowher, Jason Garrett, and Leslie Frazier but all three will most likely not coach in Denver so Denver is going to be a bad ball club for the next three years.  The AFC west continues to be a joke and the Chargers and Chiefs will continue to get Christmas two times a year.

..predicting Jets loss tonight that's why they are #6...now #7 after that display

Jets (+10.5) and we hit our ten team parlay: SHAVON

Heartbreaking loss

that Auburn was a tough one thought the 68 pts would be enough but it wasn't...oh well damnnn

Loch Ness of Chiefs over Broncos

This obvious answer is Chiefs at home, better team, better coach, needs this game to stay one up on Chargers.  I look more deep into this game and I see Todd Haley and how pissed he was from the blowout @ Denver a couple weeks back.  Since then, the Chiefs have emerged as the leader (not favorite of the AFC west) and need this game badly or will lose the division to the Chargers.  This is a rivalry game. Yes.  It should be close. Yes. Broncos might be more of the lock at (+15) I just don't see them winning the game so Chiefs (-2.5) is the play.

The manner in which the Chiefs lost and how they took it makes me say they want revenge....or they should.  Todd Haley refused to shake Josh McDaniels hand after the 49-29 thrubbing a few weeks back in Denver and in "his house" he wants this game badly.  He needs this game.  He WILL run up the score if necessary to show up Mcdaniels because these two have developed a hate for each other.  They will get their teams revved up for this rivalry game and it should be a good game, but the Chiefs are a lock tomorrow and #5 on our loch ness list!!

Hot Off the Press!!!

Auburn (+1)

Response to World Cup 2018, 2022

People actually thought the United States had a chance!!!! You have to be kidding me. This is the World Cup every country is going to get to host it before they start going back to countries twice!! You people are negligent and stupid.  There is a reason FST has knowledge and you don't.  England had the best chance to host 2018 in my opinion but obviously the recent bickering cost them, or once again FIFA will spread the wealth before doubling up on countries.  I called Qatar because the bookies know what they were talking about (this information obviously leaked) and both favorites held at 3:1.  Russia and Qatar and two wealthy countries..well have extremely wealthy people in the country and I would say either bribery went down or information leaked and the rich got richer and drove the odds on Qatar and Russia to 3:1.  You are going to tell me that everything was hush hush and nothing leaked.  Bullshit. USA never had a chance and the valiant effort of William Jefferson Clinton was not enough this time...please no Hilary in office!!  USA held World Cup in '94 and we don't like soccer. What would make you think we would get a second chance on it that soon??? Just dumb.

World Cup 2018, 2022

I have no clue on the subject but #streak for the cash has Russia or the field and I'm taking the field on that one.  Russia not a good place for a World Cup.  I think the favorite has to be England or Portugal/Spain for sure.  As for 2022, I am going with the favorite of Qatar to take the home the World Cup and don't think the United States has any shot for it!!

I Thoroughly Enjoyed this!!

Post #50 doesn't get better than this
