On Friday I stated the Ravens would win by 3 points in a close game. It sure didn’t start out that way, but it sure ended that way.

It was a Super Bowl of firsts; a fake field goal, a 34 minute power outage in the 3rd quarter, and brother vs brother (John vs. Jim Harbaugh).

Let’s explore that final point.  Our four potential Super Bowl match-ups are: Continue reading →

I’m taking a little break from analyzing all of the college underclassmen that are declaring for the draft in order to take a look at the Wild-Card playoffs.

All of the games, except for Seattle/New Orleans, could go either way, but I’m going to make some predictions that will either be wrong or…well, they probably will be wrong. Nevertheless, I’m going to love watching the playoffs this weekend. The biggest games of the year so far are going to make for some good television. Here’s what I think will happen… Continue reading →
