House Cleaning
I hope everybody had a wonderful, and more importantly - A REFLECTIVE Thanksgiving.
I'd first like to apologize for somewhat mailing it in this week. Apparently researching and typing in the same position for 4-hour periods isn't good for the overall health of your neck, nor does it help alleviate headaches. So I've been on and off the physically unable to perform list, but promise to return to full strength this upcoming week - starting the week off strong with an NBA Top-10 players list and other NBA observations. How do the careers of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant parallel Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm? You'll find out next week.
Yesterday I went 1-2 in NFL picks. I know those picks weren't posted, but I did pick for the record - I was wrong about the Jets and Falcons covering enormous point spreads and correct about Green Bay OVER Detroit by more than 4 points.
Summing up yesterday's football as concisely as possible:
Green Bay OVER Detroit: It is now reasonable to believe that the Packers are the NFC's best team. Of course we'll find out next week when they face off against the Cowboys. I just think that if anybody is going to slow down the Dallas wide receivers, it would be the physical Green Bay corners. As for Detroit - the 2nd half collapse seems about as imminent as John Kitna leading the NFL in times sacked.
Dallas OVER New York Jets: Plan and Simple, A three day turnaround for a rookie quarterback, on the road, on Thanksgiving, against arguably the NFC's best team is just too much to overcome. Silver Lining: Despite rookie cornerback Darrelle Revis giving up a TD to Terrell Owens, I think he did a fantastic job containing him for most of Thursday's game.
Indianapolis OVER Atlanta: Falcons were just outclassed, no surprise there.
Now if I can just go back in time for a moment... I would like to give myself a pat on the back for predicting the Arizona upset over Oregon AND nearly being correct about Nevada upsetting Hawaii. If you're worried that I'm getting too cocky, You Shouldn't Be. I did say Michigan would beat Ohio State.
