Badlands NFL Saturday Wildcard Picks


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CINCINNATI BENGALS +3

Like that the line opened at 2.5 and like that Cincy plays in a division with Pitt and Baltimore. while they did not beat them, those 4 games were great experience for facing a great d for this young team. 3 of the 4 losses were 1 possession losses. I think Cincy will force a turnover or two on d and keep this one close. Read More

washington +10 and the under 80 because of posts like these


Liking washington +10 and the under 80 because of posts like these on covers.com

“This game is going to be a blow out ass whooping, Granted-Washington’s back field is very talented,and Baylor’s defense is horrible,but understand this-Baylor is a way more talented all around team than the Washington Huskies,Cmon man seriously .. do u people really think that they have a chance to even stay within 14 points of Baylor,RG3rd is the Fucking Heisman winner for a reason, this kid is on the brinks of deciding whether or not to enter the draft or not,so he will prove his worth in one of his bigger games of the year.
Statement game for the Baylor ball club,Forget about Washington and Nebraska last year,that was fluke win for huskies(Nebraska was hungover and they beat theirselves!!!)Plus no Locker this year……,this Baylor team is a high octane offense, and with one or two stops by the Bears D ,The scoreboard will light up and RG3rd proves his legacy in college football

Baylor Wins big 52-28”

COLTS +15


FADE TRAIN, We are taking the colts after this post:

 

The Steelers looked great on Sunday winning 35-7 & they didnt even look like they tried to play hard out there. The Browns have their rb & qb limping around with injuries coming into this game & the Steelers will take advantage………this will be a total blowout!

Steelers -13.5 (-110)  $5,500 to win $5,000
The 2nd game I really like is the Ravens vs Colts………..the Patriots decided to play prevent defense with 8 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter & allow the Colts to score 3 td’s  if this doesnt show you how crazy the NFL, I dont know what does.
The Ravens looked good on the road vs the Browns & now face a pathetic Colts team…….I did say if the Colts cover against the Patriots, they will get destroyed vs the Ravens & I stand by that statement……………..
Ravens -15 (-110)  $5,500 to win $5,000
Waiting on ML’s to be posted before posting my 3rd game………….
COLTS +15

Boom_Boom’s 10 things we’ve learned NCAAFB


Ten Things we Learned

1. As most of you know I was at the ACC championship game last night. Man has it been a long time coming. I felt great for all the guys who held there heads up high and fought through the past few difficult weeks they have had. This team is really young and will be VERY good next season. Now about these V.T fans. I went to the game with my wife and oldest son. I’m not saying all V.T fans are complete classes garbage…. but I damn sure 90% are. What a bunch of low life loud mouth shit talking fans. These guys ran there mouths the entire day and were the most disrespectful fans I have ever been apart of. One guy thought it was OK to scream curse words behind us right behind my little boy. I told that fat low life bitch to sit down and watch his mouth or I would put my foot in his ass. Did they care? Of course not. To the 90% of Hokie Nation…. you are classless garbage.2. I know most dont want to hear it but I think that if you are in your right mind, you have to vote Bill Snyder the coach of the year. This guy, this wizard has done it again. Over the years you guys have read on here how much I respect the man. After this season, I dont know how you cant agree. Bill Snyder is a legend and college football is grateful to have had him.3. I haven’t got to see it yet but how about them Sooners. Wow! Did little brother bend you over his leg and spank your ass or what. There is a new sheriff in Oklahoma now and he’s a man…he’s forty. Sooner nation, you will not be playing in a BCS game. If you do it will be a slap in the face to all college football fans everywhere. I’m one of the few who likes Stoops, but this team needs to learn how to play better defense and learn how to win the games that really matter.

4. RG3. What else can you say? Before the year I told you that him and this team would light the scoreboard up like Christmas tree. Well? What ya think now. Any voter in there right mind should vote RG3 as the Heisman winner. Why? Because he is the best overall player WHO MAKES HIS TEAM BETTER  in the country. It’s not Richardson. Nope, he’s a great back…but it’s not him. It’s RG3. He is the best player in the country. The Heisman trophy is a popularity contest. It’s not about the best players anymore. It’s about who ESPN gives more air time too. It’s a disgrace.

5. LSU is a bully. I though hard about betting against them this week, but i had to remind myself about how this team holds the mojo. The mojo is the mojo man. After about 2 1/2 quarters I think LSU had 40 yds rushing and 10 yds passing…but had 28 points. See what im saying? He who holds the mojo holds the power. This team is destine to the NC. Sorry if you dont like it. But it’s the truth. Like Auburn last year, this team has ” it “.

6. Please God. No rematch. Thinking about how ESPN will anoint Alabama to play LSU in the NC game is a fucking disgrace. I think everyone should boycott the game. I’m serious. It’s crazy to think that Alabama, who has done nothing to deserve playing in the NC, will. This team has done nothing. Are they a very good team? Yes they are. I have said many times that I think Alabama is a tremendous team. But that has nothing to do with whether this team should play for the BCS national championship game or not.

7. I cant wait to watch the game, but it looks to me that either Wisconsin pulled the rabbit out of the hat again. Or MSU shit the bed again. Either way, Russel Wilson has made the difference this year. This guy is a good QB. If Wisconsin could have just stopped 2 hail marry’s, what might have been.

8. Why does the Big East get the Automatic bid? Really? W.V is pretty good team. But lets just be honest here. The Big East is and has been very below average for a long time. I think W.V will play Clemson in the Orange bowl it seems. If you want my first thoughts. I think Clemson wont punt. I think for the most part Clemson will score whenever they want.

9. Just so everyone knows, The bowl challenge is ON  . Ive just been a little busy. More details will be out in a day or two about the bowl challenge. Everyone just stay patient and calm. It’s going to happen, I promise.

10. Wow. The regular season is gone. It just seems like yesterday I was doing my college football season breakdown. A lot of good times, a lot of bad times. The season was great. Every season is great. I hate it’s about over. My Dad always told me soak it up, these are called the good times. Enjoy every day you have, it’s just a game. I encourage everyone to ” soak it up ” It is just a game, but a game we all love so dearly. Stay focused for the upcoming bowl season. Money is to be made, bowl season is a great way to cash in. I hope all of you enjoyed theTen Things we Learned this season as much as I have writing them.
