With an ailing over the hill Steve Nash, a very mediocre bench and an overall poorly constructed Los Angeles Laker team, yes Mike Brown you are the fall guy
Crash landing, James Harden is coming back down to earth... Hard!!! Look Harden is tough and he can score points, lots of 'em, but I don't get that feeling he's a number 1 guy and with Jeremy Lin as the point guard, the Houston Rockets have the most overrated backcourt in basketball.
The baseball season has been over for nearly 2 weeks and they are just starting to hand out the post season awards, look boo, we're in mid football season, the NBA is crackalackin and the college football season is getting really good...I'm not saying that I don't care, just not as much. Announce them awards as soon as the World Series is over boo
Move over RGIII and Andrew Luck, Doug Martin is trying to steamroll his way to the rookie of the year and yes, Tampa Bay is the better of the three respective teams and that should help
Yeah, yeah Peyton Manning looks great, but no way is he the mid season MVP over Matt Ryan and the 8-0 Falcons, and yes the Falcons beat the Broncos, mostly due to Peyton's 4 1st half interceptions
Alabama reminds me an awful lot of that 2002 Miami Hurricane team, that tried to repeat as National Champions, but came up short against the Ohio State Buckeyes. I think someone will beat them in the title game, it's just too easy for it to play out with them winning it all. That's a double dog dare Vegas, make them a double digit favorite over Oregon, Kansas State or Notre Dame and see what I do, what, what!!!
Vegas Picks
So I bounced back in a nice way last week going a perfect 3-O with my Vegas picks. Sure I may have just went 7-6 overall, but if you bet on every game last week i'm also willing to wager that your life is falling apart (I'll take the under 120 days for a meltdown, or you stealing your mom's jewelry to pay your bookie) Anyway the key to staying hot is to go with teams that you have a good feel for so here we go:
Tampa Bay -3 over San Diego
Look people Tampa is a quality football team, they were 10-6 just 2seasons ago before injuries and a Radio Raheem, 'Fight the Power' coaching meltdown killed them last year, they since have drafted a stud running back (Doug Martin) got a number 1 receiver in Vincent Jackson and lost early games to quality football teams. If that's not a good enough reason then consider their opponent. There is not a worse historically Head football coach than Norv Turner, what I mean is. sure there were worse coaches, but they were generally removed within a year or 2, not fucking Norv, he just keeps hanging around, cranking out mediocre season after mediocre season. You also have to consider the regression of Philip Rivers, he was once considered a top 5 QB in this league, holy shit, right?!!! He and Norv Turner are probably on the sideline wagering, "I bet you can't make that throw" 'I bet I can' then after the play 'god dammit!!! Double or nothing'?!!!
Tampa 31 Chargers 20
Giants-3.5 over the Bengals
The Giants on the road is always a solid play. They play better on the road than when they're at home. I think it may have something to do with the fact their home games aren't actually in NY but New Jersey, when Eli wakes up in his nice plush ass pad in downtown Manhattan, and he's gotta drive to work too .... New Jersey, it just takes a little sumptin, sumptin away. That and the Bengals are spiraling downward or they are just being the Bengals, however you want to call it
Giants 24 Bengals 17
Bears-1.5 over Houston
When it comes to having a feel for a team, I know my Bears. They are poised to cover this game, consider this, last week I took the Bears at -3.5 against the Titans,as I pointed out the Bears had scored 41 points against the 2 previous AFC opponents and they will again score 41 against the week Titans, I was wrong, they dropped 51. Now I know that Houston is tough but they are still an AFC team and the Bears rules the AFC south this year, the game is at home and its nationally televised, which means you won't see the Bears Defense/special teams score a TD because the cameras will be too busy staring at Jay Cutler posture on the sideline
Bears 31 Texans 20 with a bad weather adjusted score of Bears 23 Titans 16
