SPLOG Wednesday (Monday edition)

This being Thanksgiving week, I won't be putting up a Wednesday blog, so I'll just do it today instead.

* This is looking like more and more of a possibility as the weeks go by. I'm pulling for it.
*If Tebow doesn't win the Heisman after his record setting year (first player with 20+ TDs throwing AND 20+ TDs running), the Heisman will be a joke. Granted he is a Sophomore and not in the running for the national title, he's still had an amazing year and is most deserving of the award.
* Orlando continues to pile up the wins, as they knocked off the previously undefeated Celtics. Stan Van Gundy for coach of the year.
* The Rams are falling further back in the chase for the top pick. They are tied in record with the Jets, Raiders, and 49ers with 2 wins, and the Dolphins are still winless. Oh well, they still should be able to attain a solid player with a top 5 pick.
* Lloyd Carr retired as coach of the Michigan football team. I wouldn't be surprised to see Les Miles from LSU take the opening. It would be funny if Mike Shula took the reigns at LSU. That would be one big rivalry every year with Alabama.

Predictions (8-2 last week, 28-22 overall)
NFL - Thanksgiving games
(1) Green Bay over Detroit - 10-1 for the Packers after this one. Who'd've thunk it?
(2) Dallas over NY Jets - The Jets has a surprising victory over the Steelers last week. They'll get rolled by the Cowboys this week.
(3) Indianapolis over Atlanta - Indy is struggling, but they shouldn't have much problem posting a win against the Falcons.
NCAAF
(4) Boise St. over Hawaii - The Fighting Rainbows should have gone down last week. They will go down this week.
(5) Kentucky over Tennessee - Will propel Georgia into the SEC title game vs. LSU for the right to lose against LSU.
(6) West Virginia over UConn - WV, on their way to the title game, rolls over UConn.
(7) Oklahoma St. over Oklahoma - The Sooners' QB and RB iffy, OSU takes the battle for bragging rights in the state of Oklahoma.
(8) UCLA over Oregon - No Dixon = no W.
(9) Florida over Florida St. - The Gators win this rivalry game, get ready to return to championship contender next season with "Heisman" Tebow, Percy Harvin, and Emmanuel Moody leading the offense.
(10) Missouri over Kansas - The 2nd of 2 undefeateds go down. A Mizzou win against Kansas, and loss to Oklahoma will propel WV into the title game.
