SUNDAY, 2/7 at 5:25 pm CST: Colts vs. Saints (Super Bowl XLIV; CBS)
- Stormin Norman (9-5) Colts over Saints: Come on, seriously? I know the Saints are “America’s Team”, but they are going to have a bit of trouble with Peyton. The Saints defense is entirely predicated on turnovers and..gulp..Manning doesn’t usually make those. I know Brees is good, but not good enough to overcome a vastly superior Colts team.
- South Side Sheik (9-5) Colts over Saints – The difference maker in this game….Pat McAfee, punter for the Colts. This is going to be a sixty minute battle for field position. I’m going to one-up the other guys and predict a final score of 12-6, all field goals.
- StevieY19 (9-5) Saints over Colts: That’s right, upset special. God is ready to make it up to New Orleans after that whole Katrina thing. The Saints will get flagged for hitting Manning too much, but they’ll also slow him down enough to win in a shootout-type affair.
- Javier Sandooski (6-8) Saints over Colts: I really think the Saints just have too many weapons, Sean Payton may actually be the better coach, Saints defense is not bad at all and people are forgetting that Brees is pretty much just as good as Manning. I am totally pumped for this game, I hope it doesn’t let us down.
SATURDAY, 2/6 at 11:00 am CST: #2 Villanova @ #8 Georgetown (CBB; ESPN)
- Stormin Norman (9-5) Villanova over Georgetown: StevieY19 told me that he has already written off this college basketball season as “not having a single great team”. I disagree, and Villanova is one of the reasons why. Scottie Reynolds is my boy and can score from anywhere on the court. I know this game is on the road, but I’m picking Nova to upset the Hoyas.
- South Side Sheik (9-5) Georgetown over Villanova – I hate Scottie Reynolds more than anyone else in college basketball after having to watch him during the NCAA opening round game at the United Center a few years back. Although, anything from Washington D.C. is a complete disaster recently, so this game’s really a toss-up. Now if we were talking about the DePaul Blue Demons on the other hand…
- StevieY19 (9-5) Georgetown over Villanova: I’ll actually be very interested to watch this game Saturday, since Villanova is one of a small group of teams I could see winning it all. Typically when I classify a team as such, they end up blowing it embarrassingly and reminding me that I will lose my office pool to someone who knows nothing. Here’s to an 0-2 week!
- Javier Sandooski (6-8) Georgetown over Villanova: Wow I don’t know anything about these teams. When in doubt, take the home team in college basketball. And this is why i have the worst record out of all of us.
