A special Tuesday edition this week followed by NFL picks tomorrow and College Bowl Picks on Friday.
-Didn't the Cardinals have an extra day to prepare for the 49ers last night? What a hideous performance on offense...Kurt Warner was brutal...the offensive line was bad...and the running backs / receivers couldn't hold onto the ball.
-With that said, the Cards magic number is 2...a combination of two wins and/or 49ers losses over the next three weeks. The NFC West should be clinched this weekend in fact...Arizona should beat Detroit and San Francisco should lose on the road to Philly.
-Sorry folks...I don't see a Cardinals playoff run again this season. Playing the Packers or Cowboys in the 1st round is a death wish...though it's hard to ever rule out a healthy Kurt Warner in a home game.
-But let's be honest here...can anyone beat the Saints in New Orleans? It seems as though their home field advantage right now is greater than any team I can remember in at least the last decade. Am I wrong? Assuming the Eagles maintain the #3 seed and defeat their first round opponent, the Cardinals would have to travel to New Orleans in round 2.
-The Saints will go 16-0 in the regular season...and I predict the Colts will lose once in the final three weeks. As of now, I'll predict a New Orleans-San Diego Super Bowl...Drew Brees against his old team, the Chargers.
-San Diego might be the most impressive team in the last 8 weeks or so...and has always caused problems for Indianapolis in the playoffs.
-My league MVP vote through 14 weeks: 1. Drew Brees, 2. Peyton Manning, 3. Phillip Rivers, 4. Chris Johnson, 5. Brett Favre - surprised?
-Speaking of MVP votes...or something like that...I don't have a big problem with Mark Ingram winning the Heisman - but Tim Tebow finishing 5th? I'm a Tebow supporter, but he DID NOT deserve to be invited as a top 5 candidate to the ceremonies this season.
-I'm also a bit surprised that Toby Gerhart was that close...the closest runner-up in history, despite not playing on Championship Saturday while the other four candidates did.
-What the heck happened to my once proud UofA basketball program? After getting blown out by a decent San Diego St. team, there doesn't seem to be much hope for my alma mater this season.
-Then again the Pac-10 in basketball looks horrendous based on non-conference results this season...could they only be a 1 or 2 bid league in the NCAA Tournament?
Back tomorrow with NFL picks!
