Pigskin (and boxing) Picks


Quick picks for this weekends games.

Ohio State visits the big Outhouse and the game is only for braggin' rights for the Buckeyes.
michigan needs to win to be bowl eligible.
I do have concerns as michigan has scored points all season with stopping scoring being their problem.....

The Browns travel to michigan for a battle against the fellow 1-8 Lions.
The one player on either team that stands out above all is Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
Johnson should have a big game in this one...

Seattle attempts to upset Minnesota in the Metrodome.
This one looks like it would take a miracle with both of the Seahawks starting corners doubtful for the game...

College game of week honors goes to the Pac 10 with what amounts to be a single elimination bout for the BCS bid.
Oregon and Arizona hold their own destiny in their hands.
Arizona's defense was ripped by Cal last week and will have to be far better against the explosive Ducks.

The NFL game of the week goes to the battle for the AFC West lead between slumping Denver and charging San Diego.
Chris Simms gets the start for Denver at QB and that makes the difference....

The WBA Super Middleweight title and the final bout of stage one of the Super Six occurs in Oakland tonight with champ Mikkel Kessler of Denmark battling hometown hero and former Olympic gold medalist Andre Ward.
Ward has been relatively untested and now faces the top 168 pounder in the world as his first real test.
Ward will have success early,but can he hurt Kessler?
Joe Calzaghe is the only person to beat the Dane and even he didn't hurt Kessler.
The bout is on Showtime....


Our Picks
Ohio State 31-20
Lions 21-10
Vikings 34-17
Oregon 42-24
Chargers 21-13
Kessler unanimous decision
