It Takes More Than Luck

USC and Stanford will battle at the Coliseum tonight on primetime. Andrew Luck and Stanford are riding high while USC just beat Notre Dame. Both teams are high on emotions. This will be a battle of two of the best pro prospects. Matt Barkley and Andrew Luck are both having tremendous seasons. Both have underrated running games that will help them. Marqise Lee will put up great numbers. I have been big on this guy all year and I think he will have a huge game tonight. I think Stanford will be on upset alert tonight. USC's secondary will defend Luck well. TJ McDonald will have a breakout game for the Trojans' defense. If you like Quarterbacks, you are in for a treat tonight. All fans will be watching as #6 Stanford travels down south to take on USC.

Rally Birds

The Cardinals are the 2011 World Series champions! It has been an incredible story for the Cards. They were 10 games out of it in August. There was no way they would make it, much less win it. Then, it happened. The Braves started slipping and St. Louis caught stride. They clinched their Playoff berth on the last day of the regular season. After that, they knocked off the Phillies. That is when the fantasy started to become real. The Brewers were their next test. They stunned the baseball world and defeated Milwaukee. All that was standing in their way of a title was the Texas Rangers. They had home-field advantage thanks to Prince Fielder's home run in the All-Star Game. When all hope seemed lost, they were down to their last out, their last strike, and they tied the ballgame up with a big hit. David Freese had a walk-off home run to go to a Game 7. The Cardinals defense came up big as they beat Texas 6-2. It was a historic run by the Cardinals. They bought another title home to arguably the best baseball town in America.

Tebow Time

It is Tim Tebow's time to show all the critics what he can do. He will start in the game against the Dolphins. They are honoring the 2008 Florida National Championship team which Tebow was on. Tebow's every step will be watched. As you can imagine, there will be a lot of fans rooting for him. That could give him a boost. It is a good day to start considering the Broncos are facing the 0-5 Dolphins. All eyes will be watching Tebow and the Broncos when they take the field against the Dolphins.

Clash in South Bend

USC and Notre Dame's rivalry will be renewed tonight in South Bend. The Trojans will look for revenge from last year. It will be a very interesting game. This is one of the first night games at Notre Dame in years. Both teams have star wide receivers. Robert Woods and Michael Floyd are both great prospects. Marqise Lee will come up big for the Trojans. If he is single covered, he will be dangerous. He has been in the shadows of Robert Woods, but he has put up some big numbers this year. Manti Teo will have a big game for the Irish defense. It will be a great game, but USC will run away with it late. Everybody will be watching when college football's biggest rivalry takes place.

New Sherriff in Town

There is a new sheriff in town in the American League. After the Rangers dismantled the Tigers, they clinched their second World Series berth in the last two seasons. The Cardinals, who looked out of it in the middle of August will face off with the Rangers tonight. Chris Carpenter will be on the mound for St. Louis against CJ Wilson. Wilson is 0-2 in his Playoff starts this year. He will look to get back on track tonight. It will be a great game but in the end, the Rangers will take Game 1. All baseball fans will be watching when the Cardinals and Rangers battle at Busch Stadium.

The Story of Romo

Tony Romo and the Cowboys will travel up north to Foxborough to try and knock off the Tom Brady and the Patriots. As you well know, Romo has dealt with a lot of criticism. Nobody knows what to expect. Romo will have an easier task going up against New England's defense. Dez Bryants will continue to play great as he will put up big numbers. Deion Branch will come up big for the Pats. It will be a fun game to watch, but in the end, the Patriots will come out with the victory. New England will be roaring when Brady and the Patriots take the field against Romo and the Cowboys.

Saturday Slate

There is a great slate of games this Saturday. There are two that catch my eye. At noon, it is little brother versus big brother. Michigan and Michigan State will battle. If the Spartans can limit Dernard Robinson, they will have a shot to win. Big brother will have the upper hand today, though. Michigan will remain undefeated. Arizona State and Oregon will go at it in Eugene on primetime. I think Vontaze Burfict will play great as he will lead the Sun Devils do a victory. Now that I have given you my picks, grab a bag of chips and sit down and watch some football.

Week 5 Picks

There are a couple of games that have caught my eye this week. The Eagles and Bills will go at it in Buffalo. Ryan Fitzpatrick will come out on fire. Steve Johnson will have a big game for the Bills. Buffalo will be roaring as the Eagles will fall to 1-4. The Jets will take on the Pats in Foxborough. The Patriots will just dominate. Their defense will surprisingly come up big. The Jets won't be able to stop Brady. On primetime, the Falcons will try to knock off the Packers. Rodgers will be rolling on all cylinders. The Packers' defense will be stellar against Matt Ryan. In the end, the Packers will win handily. Now that I have given you my picks, sit down on the couch and enjoy yourself this Columbus Day weekend.

Red River Showdown

Today one of the biggest rivalries in sports is renewed. Oklahoma and Texas will battle at the Cotton Bowl. Case McCoy is a future star. The Longhorns have gone under the radar this year. The Sooners' defense will have trouble stopping Texas' offense. Malcolm Brown, the Freshman from Steele High School, will have a tremendous game. Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles will be unstoppable.

The Saints will battle with the Jaguars in Jacksonville. The Saints will win by double digits. Mark Ingram will have a big day for the Saints. The Steelers and Texans will battle in Houston. This game will come down to which team can run the ball better. If that is what I think it will be, the Texans will get the win. Demeco Ryans will be huge for the Texans on defense. It will be a great game, but the Texans will get the victory. You have been waiting for this day all week, so go watch some football and enjoy yourself.

Contender or Pretender

There are a lot of top 25 games this weekend that will show if teams are contenders or pretenders. At noon, Texas A&M will travel to take on Arkansas. Jeff Fuller will have a huge game for the Aggies. Texas A&M will come out rolling after last week's game. It will come down to the last possession, but A&M will escape with a victory. Alabama and Florida will battle in the swamp. Bama's defense will just be too much for Florida. The Tide will win in easy fashion.Nebraska and Wisconsin will have a tough gridiron battle. Taylor Martinez has faced a lot of criticism with him throwing the ball. He will prove all of those critics wrong and he will have the biggest statistical game of his career. Nebraska will come up with the victory. My team on upset alert is Baylor. They have to face a tough Kansas State team. The Kansas State defense is the real deal, but Robert Griffin III can tear anybody up. It will be a great game, but the Wildcats will get the upset. This could be one of the biggest weeks in college football this year. So just sit down and watch some football!
