Betting on Week 12 of the NFL Season on Thanksgiving?
Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Don’t worry, we got you covered.
Yes, it’s Thanksgiving and since it’s customary for the NFL to bombard you with not one, not two, but THREE games for you to enjoy while you stuff yer mouth with that turkey, we’re gonna tell you which team to bet on as we kick off Week 12 of the 2009 NFL football season.
And in case you’re wondering, the Detroit Lions will once again host a Thanksgiving Day game. Go figure. This year, the 2-8 Lions take on the 6-4 Green Bay Packers and just like the last time the Lions hosted a Thanksgiving Day game, they’re going to get their asses kicked all over Ford Field for the entire world to see.
The Green Bay Packers, who have won their last two games, will have to compensate for the losses of the two Pro Bowl players; cornerback Al Harris and linebacker Aaron Kampman, as both players will miss the rest of the season because of knee injuries.
The Packers will plug in either rookie Brad Jones or Brady Poppinga to replace Kampman at left outside linebacker in their 3-4 scheme. Jones started for Kampman, who…

Chicago Bears got caught with their pants down again
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
Three straight losses.
That’s exactly what the Chicago Bears are dealing with after 11 weeks into the 2009 NFL football season.
After all the hype generated by the Chicago Bears with their acquisition of big shot quarterback Jay Cutler from Denver, especially after he led the Bears to that huge win over the defending champions Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 2, Cutler is slowly losing the Windy City the way he lost Denver.
In case you’ve not been following Bears’ games lately, Jay Cutler is starting to have a knack for throwing interceptions in games. And mind you, Cutler makes a lot of ‘em, probably more than any quarterback in this league.
Last Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles
wasn’t any different. After giving up FIVE FREAKING INTERCEPTIONS to the San Francisco 49ers the week before, Jay Cutler gave up another one to the Eagles secondary on Sunday Night Football as he finished with a rather miserable 63.2 QB rating en route to yet another frustrating loss.
But perhaps what’s even more frustrating for Bears fans last Sunday night was the way Cutler has been missing his receivers downfield.
The Philadelphia Eagles provided Jay Cutler with all kinds of opportunities to burn them with huge plays downfield, the problem is, Cutler just can’t seem to get the ball to his wide receivers all night long as he was either a couple of yards short or a couple of inches long.
Cutler was suppose to be the missing piece the Bears needed to…

Vince Young returns to Texas on Monday Night Football
Monday, November 23rd, 2009
The Houston Texans hate Vince Young. And since there’s a possibility that their fans will cheer for this one time Longhorn on Monday night, I’m not surprised.
Week 11 of the 2009 NFL football season resumes on a Monday night at Reliant Stadium where Vince Young will once again make that trip back to Texas and relive the day when he led the Texas Longhorns to a national title.
Yep, apparently, Vince Young hasn’t accomplished anything else since and after four years in the NFL, he’s still known as that college kid who led the Texas Longhorns to the BCS. Of course, that won’t stop some people from Texas from cheering for the dude since their Longhorns pretty much haven’t accomplished anything either since Young left for the NFL.
On Monday Night Football, the Tennessee Titans will visit the Houston Texans in what should be a game both teams need to win for playoff contention. Of course, both of these teams know that it’s going to be all about Vince Young and as far as the Texans are concerned, they hate it.
To say that the Houston Texans NEED to win this game could be an understatement. You see, the only way they can make their fans to stop talking about Vince Young is beat the guy in front of those same fans who can’t seem to get enough of Vince Young.
And since the Texans have left themselves little margin for…

Can Cutler help the Bears beat the Eagles Sunday night?
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
Jay Cutler likes playing in the dark.
That’s what they are saying anyway. They say the Chicago Bears quarterback is a nocturnal creature and prefers nighttime like a freaking vampire. However, if that was true, then how come he has been on the losing end of the three night games the Bears played this 2009 NFL football season?
Believe it or not, Jay Cutler loves evening games, For some reason, he even told his coaches that he prefers night games and late afternoon games as compared to noon starts. Unfortunately, their night games haven’t equated to wins yet.
In the three night games the Chicago Bears played, all three were losses. Jay Cutler, who loves these night games so much, threw 65 percent of his interceptions during the night, making us think that this guy is probably more comfortable after dark with booze than handling footballs.
That is certainly bad news for the Chicago Bears since they are scheduled to be in yet another evening game for Sunday Night Football. To make matters worse, Jay Cutler, who throws majority of his interceptions at night, will face one of the best secondary in the league today, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Unlike Donovan McNabb who can put a lot of points on the scoreboard…

Forrest Griffin – Tito Ortiz II in UFC 106 this Saturday
Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Can Griffin avenge his first loss in the UFC after Ortiz won a controversial split decision a few years ago?
That is the question most MMA fans are asking themselves heading to the highly anticipated rematch between Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz in UFC 106. And since the fight will be in Griffin’s hometown at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, you just know Las Vegas can’t wait for this epic encounter.
”The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Tito Ortiz was originally scheduled to fight Mark Coleman. However, on October 5, Ortiz made it public that the fight was off, and it later became known that Coleman was suffering from a knee injury.
The UFC then confirmed that Forrest Griffin would step in to face Ortiz, setting us up for one rematch MMA fans were asking for since that controversial split decision.
For more than three years of waiting, the stakes for this much awaited rematch remain very much the same. For Forrest Griffin, it represents an opportunity to rebound from consecutive losses and reestablish himself as a contender for the light heavyweight title he…

2009 College Football Week 12 Gambling Guide
Friday, November 20th, 2009
After 11 weeks of football, majority of the teams looking for a national title come January are still undefeated.
How about that huh? And as Week 12 of the 2009 NCAA college football season continues, these teams are hoping to stay undefeated. They know playing for a national title is as tough as nails and getting the invite to play for a national title is a tad tougher.
One team looking to remain undefeated is the Alabama Crimson Tide. They have the Chattanooga Mocs this Saturday. Can they remain undefeated? Head coach Nick Saban certainly hopes so.
Nick Saban seeks the best effort yet from the second ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday when they host the Chattanooga Mocs in their final non-conference matchup before bowl season. Alabama’s offense relies on their relentless ground game, which averages 216.9 yards, led by sophomore running back Mark Ingram, who already has numbers like 1,297 yards, 10 touchdowns and 6.7 yards per carry. Last week, though, junior quarterback Greg McElroy was also a big factor, throwing for TDs of 48 and 45 yards.
The Tide have put 127 points on the board in three wins outside…

2009 NFL Football Season Week 11 Betting Picks
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
This week, we’re kicking off on the wild side.
Yep, you read it, Week 11 of the 2009 NFL football season will kick off on the wild side because this week, the Miami Dolphins and that wildcat offense will travel to Bank of America Stadium to take on the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football.
Now I don’t know about you but that’s the way to start a week of football. The Miami Dolphins have become one of the most exciting teams in the NFL because of that explosive wildcat offense that the Dolphins introduced to the league last year. If they can just win more games with the wildcat.
As of this writing, both the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers have an identical 4-5 mark. The Panthers’ 28-19 win over Atlanta last Sunday put them one game behind the Falcons, Packers, Eagles and Giants in the wild card picture, with a game in New York still remaining on their schedule.
The Dolphins BARELY saved themselves from falling to 3-6 after quarterback Chad Henne gave up an interception in the last two minutes of their game against the Buccaneers last Sunday. The Bucs came up with a touchdown, giving them the 23-22 lead with 1:14 to go. Thankfully, Henne didn’t made the same mistake when they got the ball back as…

UFC champion Brock Lesnar might never fight again
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
That’s the word from UFC president Dana White.
The current UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar, was suppose to headline this Saturday’s UFC 106 against Shane Carwin for the title. Instead, Lesnar suffered some sort of injury and White had to reschedule the title fight.
As it turns out, the injury to Brock Lesnar was more serious than previously reported. The UFC heavyweight champion is in a hospital in North Dakota and according to White, Lesnar is in rough shape and he’s not getting any better.
”He’s in rough shape, he’s in really bad shape,” UFC president Dana White stated after UFC 105 last Saturday. ”He is not well and he is not getting any better. He’s very, very sick and he’s going to be out for a while. He’s got a lot of problems.”
It was reported that Brock Lesnar had contracted mononucleosis, forcing him to pull out of training in preparation for Shane Carwin. But Dana White claims mononucleosis isn’t the only thing Lesnar is dealing with these days. White claims Lesnar is dealing with something worse and the UFC heavyweight champion doesn’t want White to let it out in public, YET.
”He doesn’t have cancer or AIDS or anything like this, (but) he’s got some problems, man. He’s not going to be getting well any time soon,” White said.
”I am worried about it,” White admitted. ”You know, I can’t…”

Ravens take on the Browns on Monday Night Football
Monday, November 16th, 2009
And since the Ravens are in dire need of a kickboard to get their season going again, facing the struggling Browns couldn’t have come at a better time.
Week 10 of the 2009 NFL football season concludes at the Dawg Pound in Cleveland Browns Stadium where the Ravens will look to improve on what has been a disappointing 4-4 mark. Thankfully, at 1-7, the Browns don’t have anything going for them and the Ravens should be able to take care of this one and get back in the race in the AFC North.
To say that the Baltimore Ravens are struggling could be an understatement. In their last game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens were anemic, especially on what was usually a solid offense led by second-year quarterback Joe Flacco.
Against Cincinnati, Joe Flacco struggled. He gave up two interceptions in 18 for 32 passing for just 195 yards. Wide receiver Derrick Mason was also a disappointment, catching only three passes of the 13 balls Flacco threw at his direction.
Will these guys struggle again against the Cleveland Browns defense? Luckily, the Ravens absolutely hate the Browns and for some reason, these guys always come up with their A-game when facing their…

New England Patriots to be tested starting this Sunday
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
Yep, and in these next few weeks, we’ll have an idea if a Super Bowl title is in the Patriots’ immediate future.
Things have really heated up in the 2009 NFL football season. The Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints are flirting with perfection, the Dallas Cowboys are on top of the NFC East and the New England Patriots, well… the Patriots have the opportunity to make that huge step towards a solid run for the Super Bowl.
You see, the New England Patriots will be tested in the next three weeks, starting with a rivalry game with the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday Night Football. They have their AFC East rivals New York Jets next followed by a date with the perfect New Orleans Saints at the Superdome on a Monday night.
That could make or break any football team and if Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots are serious in making a run for the title this season, winning all three of these games are as important as SpongeBob never forgetting his square pants.
For now, the Patriots are focused on their date with Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. This annual game between the Patriots and the Colts have become as big as the Super Bowl itself. And as far as the Patriots are concerned, they enjoy playing the Colts every single season with a possible trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
”We always enjoy playing them. They’re a great team…”
