The Nutball Gazette (The Expert picks the Super Bowl)

It is here, Who is going to win. 


"The Expert' has been going back and forth on this. My eyes say the Giants are going to win. The way they have been playing the last couple of weeks tells "The Expert" The Giants defensive line should be able to pressure the Patriots into mistakes and bad plays at key times and also the Giants offense is hitting on all cylinders, The Giants receivers have been coming up huge and the running game has been very good too.


The Patriots has been very good too with Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski, and even Deion Branch, The biggset bust though has been Chad Ocho-Cinco (Remember that name)


The Giants has been very boastful and confident, The Patriots have kept mostly quiet, Some might think they are nervous and maybe a little fearful, 


Most feel this will be a close game but if is not "The Expert" can see the Giants winning in a rout, If it is close both teams have shown they can rally very late to win.


"The Expert" looks for something very unexpected to have a HUGE impact in this game. 


"The Expert" feels that the Giants boastfulness will have some impact on this game. Also Tom Brady has been compared to Derek Jeter and Jeter went a long time between Championships, Brady has the same issue, But he is still Tom Brady, Brady's legacy though is set, another Super Bowl for Manning and Tom Coughlin will put them in all time great category.  


OK Now the pick, Gronkowski will not have much of an impact. This game will be back and forth with a late touchdown, The X Factor and unexpected surprise that will looked at as the reason why the winner wins, (Remember that name) Look for Brady to connect with Chad Ocho-Cinco with a long Pass 60 to 70 yards for a Touchdown, It may not be at the end of the game, But the Patriots score a very late Touchdown 


PATRIOTS-38----Giants-35 

The Nutball Gazette--Conference Championship Games

Last week 2-2

Playoffs so far 4-4

Do not need much time to think about this.

How cool would it be to see the Harbaugh Brothers in the Super Bowl, I cannot think of a better story. BUT..I do not see it happening

Ravens-17 @ PATRIOTS-28 (Just do not see how the Ravens can keep up with this high flying Patriots)

GIANTS-24 @ 49rs-16 (Giant defense should be able to contain the 49rs just enough to allow Eli Manning to work his magic)

The Nutball Gazette Divisional Weekend Games

Last Weekend 2-2

SAINTS-27 @ 49rs-21 (49rs have a great defense, Saints do not do well on the road, But 49rs have trouble scoring in the Red Zone and saint are on a huge roll)

Broncos-23 @ PATRIOTS-37 (Tebow plays well but this is the Patriots we are talking about, Brady proves to be too much)

Sunday

Texans-13 @ RAVENS-17 (Should be a tight game, but being at home should be the difference)

First the comment on this game, By everything I hear the Packers should not be in the playoffs, Aaron Rodgers is just a mediocre QB and the Giants defense is the greatest thing in NFL History. Why are he Packers even going to show up. OH WAIT they went 15-1, They may be the most underrated team in the playoffs

Giants-34 @ PACKERS-37 (This will be a barn-burner, But the Packers will prevail)

STEELERS-23 @ Browns-17 (Steelers win to put more pressure on the Ravens to win)

CHIEFS-26 @ Broncos-20 (Chiefs win for Coach Romeo Crennel to get the job permanently and deeply damage Bronco's playoff chances)

Ravens-23 @ BENGALS-27 (I changed my mind from my pool pick on this game, The Ravens are a better team and need this win to avoid being a wild card and to get a 1st round bye. Bengals are the surprise team of the NFL this year, There really is no way the Bengals should be able to win, But Ravens are a poor road team and this just is meant to be for the Bengals) --"Sorry Frank, I know I just cursed the Bengals"

SEAHAWKS-24 @ Cardinals-21 (I have no idea why)

Tampa Bay Yucs-10 @ FALCONS-37 ( Bucs close out what may be the worst stretch of Football in NFL History, This team is much worst than the 76 Bucs or 2008 Lions)
