TNF Pick

Last go round in Oakland

In what may be their last encounter in Oakland or their last as the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers .... these two renew their storied rivalry in the Black Hole on Christmas Eve none the less!

Here's hoping my Bolts can finish off the year on a high note in the last two games of the season. It could be interesting with the Raiders showing promise this year and the Chargers are hoping to get production from whatever healthy bodies available.

Pick: Chargers 24-20

Happy Holidays all...more picks to come!!

Bucs-Rams kick off the week

Tampa Bay and Saint Louis have the football spotlight on Thursday night with the Bucs visiting the Rams looking for a road win to reach the .500 mark on the season.

Storm brewing in the desert

Tonight's NFL Action sees the Minnesota Vikings go into the desert looking for answers against the Arizona Cardinals after last weeks devastating loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Cardinals are currently on a six game win streak which they are looking to extend while keeping the Seahawks at bay.

This one could go any number of directions ... it could be a blowout, it could be a shootout, it could be an epic low scoring battle ... either way it will be intense.

Will have to go with the home team here!!

Cardinals 27-23

Enjoy the game ... back with more picks soon...

NCAA Conference Championship picks

NCAA Conference Championship Saturday is here

It's that time of the year for NCAA title hopefuls with Conference Championship Saturday kicking off soon.

Who will find their way into the Football Four after the dust settles??? 

Let's pick 'em!!

American Conference

Temple (22) vs Houston (19)

These two did not meet in the regular season so this will be the only meeting between the two this year.

It will be the Temple "D" versus the explosive Houston offense. Hmm this time of the year, defense usually wins titles!

Temple 24-19

Conference USA

Southern Miss vs Western Kentucky

This one could be "last team with the ball wins"!!

WKy 41-35

SEC Championship

Alabama (2) vs Florida (18)

Florida will have to muster up at least 21-28 points for a win here and keep turnovers minimal.

I'd love to see chaos in the Playoff picture though

Florida 22-20

Mountain West Championship

Air Force vs San Diego State

Air Force 26-22

Big Ten Championship

Michigan State (5) vs Iowa (4)

The Iowa perfection will be tested but the Hawkeyes may surprise as undefeated underdogs!

Iowa 27-23

ACC Championship

North Carolina (10) vs Clemson (1)

Well, I'm a Carolina basketball fan and after what Clemson did to my alma mater (The U), I'm gonna pick the big upset here!!!

UNC 34-27

PAC 12 Championship

USC (20) vs Stanford (7)

Could USC turn the tables on the Cardinal after a regular season loss??

Stanford 31-30

Other notables:

Texas @ Baylor (12)

Baylor 34-20

Back with NFL picks tomorrow...

Packers vs Lions on Thursday night

NFL has Thursday night lights on

With NCAA Conference Championship Saturday on the horizon, the NFL has the spotlight on Thursday night with Green Bay visiting Detroit.

Green Bay @ Detroit

The Packers visit Detroit looking to avenge the home loss to the Lions a few weeks ago. The Lions have shown signs of improvement over the last few weeks but Green Bay is hungry for improvement themselves heading into the playoffs.

Green Bay 31-23

Back with more in 24!
