NCAA
Bowl, FCS Title and NFL Wildcard Games
On
Saturday, we have quite a few games to be decided with the NFL playoffs
underway, the FCS Championship game and the Compass Bowl all on the football
menu.
First
up we will go with the NCAA games:
BBVA
Compass Bowl
SMU
vs. Pitt
This
one matches up an underachieving Pitt against a valiant and improving SU team.
The Mustangs had losses in four of their last six games of the regular season
and hope the layoff has given them enough time to prepare for the Panthers who
were up and down all season.
Overall,
I think Pitt will have enough to get them home in this one but they will have
to keep themselves from committing turnovers.
Pitt 30-23
FCS
Championship
Sam
Houston State vs. North Dakota State
Sam
Houston State comes in undefeated against the Bison whose only loss came
against Youngstown State.
On
form and by factoring in the home state advantage, I will give the nod to Sam
Houston State to win their first title.
Sam Houston State 37-22
NFL
Wild Card Games
The
NFL playoffs are here and kick off on Saturday with two wild card games. Well,
my preseason pick of Philadelphia vs. San Diego in the Super Bowl is obviously
not going to happen so now…..wait for it……my Super Bowl pick is….the Harbaugh
brothers…Baltimore vs. San Francisco!! I know I will hear a lot of “Flacco” for
this one!! LOL!!
But
here we got with the first two games:
Cincinnati
@ Houston
The
Texans are hurting in their first playoff appearance and Andy Dalton could pull
this one out in his return home. Do not be surprised at all by an overtime game
where the winner will probably not score more than 24 points.
Cincy 24-21
Detroit
@ New Orleans
This
one may be closer than their Week 13 match but I do not see the Saints getting
surprised in their first playoff game again this season.
New Orleans 28-20
Back tomorrow with Sunday’s games…
