SATURDAY ACTION:
NFL PLAYOFFS:
10* BALTIMORE +6.5
5* New Orleans -7
Baltimore has lost 5 games this year, 4 of them by 6 points or less. That includes that 17-15 Week 11 heartbreaker when Flacco tossed a game-ending pick in the red zone late in the 4th quarter. It should also be noted that Peyton Manning threw a pair of interceptions in that game, and with Ed Reed back in the lineup, I give Baltimore's defense a chance at rattling Manning the way they rattled Tom Brady last week with pressure.
The Colts were lucky this year and could have easily lost to Houston twice, Jax twice, and NE. Baltimore is a big, physical team and their defense is playing very well. Offensively, the Ravens ability to run the ball with Ray Rice as fire. The Colts have struggled stopping the run all year and I expect a tight game Saturday night!
COLLEGE HOOPS:
10* SYRACUSE +4.5
5* Creighton pk
4* Boston College pk
4* St Joes +8
Syracuse plays great defense and could easily be the #1 team in the country. With only 1 loss they are tall, long and athletic.
Syracuse will outplay and outcoach and with their experience in the big games, I'll jump all over them as an UNDERDOG here. Take the points and BE A WINNER!
