Playoff Time College And Pro

The greatest two weekends of the NFL season are the next two when they have double headers on both Saturday and Sundays.  Joining the fray this year is the semi finals of the College playoffs on New Years day.

Thursday College Semi Finals:

Florida State and Oregon play in the Rose Bowl.  FSU trying to repeat as the National Champion seems to have nothing going for them except they keep winning ugly.  Oregon has ripped through the Pac Ten and would seem to have the scoring punch to take the Noles down.  The Seminoles get the job done taking down Oregon 38-35.

Alabama and Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl.  Quite frankly am surprised Alabama made it undefeated this year.  Ohio State romped in the Big Ten Title game with their third string quarter back.  Despite losing to Virginia Tech the second week of the season Ohio State is primed to knock off Bama.  The SEC Nation will be in shock Ohio State 33- Bama 24

Arizona @ Carolina:  Cardinals can't score.  Panthers have not let too many points get by them in December will be hard for the punch less Cardinals to win this one. The Panthers will get to 500 with a win.   Cam and Company 17-9

Detroit @ Dallas:  If Detroit can keep from stomping on Tony Romo they have a real shot in winning this game.  This is the best Dallas team in  four lustrums.  This game might go down to the final play and I 'll take Big D as I see too much thug toughness coming from Detroit lately which means in
tough situations they will have a penalty to lose the game.  27-23 Dallas.

Baltimore @ Pittsburgh:  Get out the band-aids, arm slings and anything else needed by a medical staff.  This will be the slammer game of the weekend.  Despite tough this will be a high scoring game.  Pittsburgh will survive a vicious game 30-20.

Cincinnati @ Indianapolis:  Cincy is the Dallas Cowboys of the AFC.  Everybody expects them to do something stupid at the wrong time.  I thing they have a really good draw here as Indy has won only one game all year against a team with a winning record.  Bengals 38-Indy 34.
