SPLOG Wednesday

NCAAB
The Memphis Tigers' basketball team have a couple of wins on the year already, and Derrick Rose has lead them. As I stated previously, Memphis is my pick to win it all, and Rose is my pick not only for freshman of the year, but also for college basketball player of the year.

NFL
If the NFL season ended right now, the playoff teams would be:
NFC
1. Dallas
2. Green Bay
3. Tampa Bay
4. Seattle
5. NY Giants
6. Detroit

AFC
1. New England
2. Indianapolis
3. Pittsburgh
4. Kansas City
5. Tennessee
6. Cleveland

High on:
Steve Hutchinson - blocking for Peterson's record breaking day.
Green Bay - tied for best record in NFC.
Randy Moss - his sticky fingers won the game for the Pats.

Low on:
San Diego - a team that was supposed to contend in the AFC can't give up that kind of rushing, and lose to a mediocre Vikings team.
Denver - the win against the Steelers is the only brightspot of the year.
San Francisco - were supposed to compete in the west... they look like doormats.

NCAAF

Predictions
I did better last week with my picks. 6-4, 15-15 overall. Here are this week's picks:
NCAAF
(1)Michigan over Wisconsin
*Michigan continues to roll despite their inauspicious start. The Badgers played 1 good half against the Buckeyes last week, but got blown out in the 2nd half. The Wolverines continue to roll.
(2)Arkansas over Tennessee
*McFadden is stating his case for the Heisman after his performance last week. I say he continues this week with his partner Felix. They run over the Vols.
(3)Florida over South Carolina
*The Gamecocks are tumbling, but Spurrier will be ready to face his former team. SC cannot stop the run, which means they'll have a doozy of a time against Tebow and Harvin.
(4)Georgia over Auburn
*The Bulldogs are first in the SEC East, and will widen their margin with the Vols' loss, combined with their win over the Tigers.
(5)Cincinnati over UConn
*I desperately wanted to pick Illinois over Ohio St. here, but the common sense in me wouldn't allow it. This game is pretty close to a toss up for me, but I'll go with Cincy over UConn, who should have a slightly worse record than they do.
NFL
(6)Pittsburgh over Cleveland
*The Browns are pretty impressive on offense, and are in line for a playoff berth. The Steelers are playing for the 2 seed (and first round bye), so they'll be motivated to stave off the up-and-coming Browns.
(7)Green Bay over Minnesota
*The Packers will do everything possible to stop Peterson, and will. Favre and company continue to lead (along with Dallas) the NFC.
(8)Tennessee over Jacksonville
*Tennessee can stop the run, and that's about all that Jacksonville does. The Titans give the Jags another loss, and leave them out of the playoff chase.
(9)Indianapolis over San Diego
*The Colts won't lose 2 straight, as the Chargers continue their descent down the ranks in the AFC. Who knows how many yards Addai will get?
(10)NY Giants over Dallas
Upset of the week. The Giants defense is really good. Eli is improving. The offense is balanced. The G-Men pull off the upset over their division foes.
