Predictions Super Bowl XLIII posted on 02/01/2009
 

           Each week, I will look into my (never wrong, just misinformed) crystal ball and give my predictions for that weekend’s games.  I will prognosticate on all the playoff games each week.  Keep in mind, that this is for entertainment purposes only, and that I do not endorse any sort of legal or illegal gambling.  That being said…let’s see what’s in my crystal ball!

Pittsburgh vs. Arizona:  This should be an amazing Super Bowl…aren’t they all?  Even the blowouts are fun…because it’s the biggest game of the year!  These two teams know each other fairly well.  The coaching staff of the Cardinals is littered with Pittsburgh connections.  Some say that this should give the Cardinals the advantage…and I agree.  The Steelers may have the No. 1 defense in the league, but that won’t make a difference to Kurt Warner and the Cards.  Look for a high scoring affair in this contest.  Boldin should have a great game, with everyone keying on Fitzgerald.  He may even give Warner a run for MVP honors.  Pittsburgh will keep it close until the 3rd quarter, but then the Cards will fly to victory and bring the Lombardi Trophy to the desert.  Arizona 41, Pittsburgh 27.

           The crystal ball was pathetic last week, posting a 1-3 record.  Not a week it wants to remember!  Now that we have reached the Championship games in the playoffs, the crystal ball assures me it will rebound this week with a solid performance.  The crystal ball is now 36-31-1 for the season; which is five games over .500 (.537 to be exact).  With two great match-ups before us, this week is going to be a challenge for the crystal ball…its reputation is on the line!  Let’s see what’s in store for us this weekend.

Divisional Round Review posted on 01/13/2009
 

The crystal ball had a dreadful performance this past week, posting a woeful 1-3 record.  This is playoff time, so that is totally unacceptable!  The crystal ball started off 1-0, but then dropped its last three for the weekend!  Anyway, that puts the crystal ball at 3-5 for the post-season, and 36-31-1 overall.  That’s five games over .500 (.537 to be exact).  Hopefully the crystal ball will perform better this coming week, as the pressure mounts in the Championship games!  Let’s take a look back, and review what happened last week.

Last Week: 1-3

Playoffs: 3-5

Overall:  36-31-1

Baltimore @ Tennessee:  (WIN)  This was a classic defensive struggle.  Both teams did rack up some yards, especially the Titans (391).  That’s a lot of yards against the Ravens defense, but the name of the game is to score points.  The Titans had their share of opportunities, but they didn’t get the job done!  The Titans had the edge in yards and time of possession, but the three turnovers they committed sealed their fate!  The Ravens offense wasn’t great, but it doesn’t need to be.  They played tough, hard-nosed football, and Flacco managed the offense.  More importantly…he had no turnovers.  In the playoffs, it’s hard to win when you lose the turnover battle.  The Ravens will travel to Pittsburgh for the AFC title.

           The crystal ball was mediocre last week, posting a 2-2 record.  Not great, but we will take it!  Now that we are ensconced in the playoffs, the crystal ball assures me it will rebound this week with a better performance.  The crystal ball is now 35-28-1 for the season; which is seven games over .500 (.555 to be exact).  With all the great match-ups before us, this week is going to be a challenge for the crystal ball.  Let’s see what’s in store for us this weekend.

Reality Mail Bag - 01/08/09 posted on 01/08/2009
  

           Each week I will answer questions submitted by my loyal readers.  I personally read every single email I receive.  I will pick out the best five or so to use for the weekly post, as I won’t be able to answer all of them.  I will also answer one or two questions on my daily posts as well.  Now it’s time to open the mail!

Troy J., Miami, FL:  The Cowboys have cut Pacman Jones.  This punk was a waste of draft picks and money.

Utopia1dc:  Troy, I will have to agree that Pacman is a punk, but he really wasn’t a waste of money or draft picks.  He did not receive a signing bonus, nor did he get paid for the games he was suspended.  As far as the draft picks go, the Cowboys are getting a pick back from the Titans (because of the suspension).  They have actually already used the pick in the Roy Williams deal, so it might be a wasted pick anyway…but that’s a whole different alligator?
