MLB POSTSEASON

To me there is no better time than Playoff baseball and after last nights fantastic Tiebreaker game between the Twins and the Tigers i just hope that's a preview of things to come now on to the predictions for the Division Series.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Minnesota Twins vs. New York Yankees
First of all you have to applaud the effort by the Twins, they were trailing the Tigers by 3 with 4 games left. They are the most exciting team in the American League, but the Yankees are the best team in baseball and the Twins used so much energy just to get to this point. I love the Twins but the Yanks are to good.
Yankees in 4

Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels
These two teams have really gotten to know each other pretty well the last couple postseasons. The Red Sox have been on the winning side every time, but for some reason this year i think it will be different. The Angels have gone through so much this year they are my sentimental favorite it wont be easy but the Halos finally get past Boston.
Angels in 5

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Colorado Rockies vs. Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies start their quest to repeat but with one glaring problem, Brad Lidge. Last year Lidge was perfect never blowing a save, this year he has blown 11. The Rockies under Jim Tracy have been the best team in Baseball since Tracy took over the team in May. The back end of the bullpen will kill the Phillies in this series.
Rockies in 4

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
For most of the season the Dodgers were the best team in baseball, but the month of September wasn't their best the Dodger picked the worst time top be playing their worst baseball. The Cards bring in MVP candidate Albert Pujols and Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright. Should be a good series just don't like the way the Dodgers are playing right now.
Cardinals in 5

NFL WEEK 4 Predictions

So Week 3 was my best week to date with a 13-3 mark. Lets keep the good karma going.


WEEK 1---10-6
WEEK 2---10-6
WEEK 3---13-3
SEASON TO DATE---33-15 (.687)

Lions (1-2) @ Bears (2-1); MY PICK: BEARS
The Lions finally got a win in a long time and Jay Cutler has rebounded since the bad Week 1 performance, now the Lions can start another losing streak.

Bengals (2-1) @ Browns (0-3); MY PICK: BENGALS
Cincinnati has turned their season around after week one's debacle and the Browns are going nowhere fast.

Seahawks (1-2) @ Colts (3-0); MY PICK: COLTS
Seattle is a totally different team without Matt Hasselbeck and Manning is making any early case for another MVP.

Giants (3-0) @ Chiefs (0-3); MY PICK: GIANTS
A battle of 2 teams heading in two opposite directions, this could get ugly real fast.

Buccaneers (0-3) @ Redskins (1-2); MY PICK: REDSKINS
Do the cities of Tampa and Washington even want to watch this game, my guess is no but if i have to pick its the Skins.

Titans (0-3) @ Jaguars (1-2); MY PICK: TITANS
Hard to have a must win game this early in the season but for Tennessee if they want any chance of being in the postseason they cant go 0-4.

Raiders (1-2) @ Texans (1-2); MY PICK: TEXANS
I can't figure out this Texans team some weeks they look good others bad, the Raiders should help making this week a good one.

Ravens (3-0) @ Patriots (2-1); MY PICK: RAVENS
This is the game of the week, the Ravens right now are just the better team Joe Flacco is the key for the Ravens.

Jets (3-0) @ Saints (3-0); MY PICK: SAINTS
This will be the toughest challenge for the Jets to date the Saints struggled at Buffalo but this game is at home i like the Saints here.

Bills (1-2) @ Dolphins (0-3); MY PICK: BILLS
Another game in which both teams need a big win, I don't know if i wouldve picked the Dolphins if Pennington was healthy, and hes not.

Cowboys (2-1) @ Broncos (3-0); MY PICK: COWBOYS
This will be the biggest game for the Broncos maybe Romo plays better away from Texas Stadium.

Rams (0-3) @ 49ers (2-1); MY PICK: 49ERS
Even without Frank Gore this game should be an easy one for San Fran, and if it wasnt for a miracle throw by Favre the Niners could be 3-0.

Chargers (2-1) @ Steelers (1-2); MY PICK: STEELERS
San Diego has never won a regular season game at Pittsburgh, I know Pittsburgh is good but they can't afford to not win this game.

Packers (2-1) @ Vikings (3-0); MY PICK: PACKERS
This game is all about Favre playing his former team but the Packers spoil his first chance to beat his old team and Aaron Rodgers outplays number 4.

TEAMS WITH A WEEK 4 BYE: Falcons, Eagles, Cardinals and Panthers
