Hello friends.  Sorry it has taken me so long to post again - I have been buried in fan mail and Vegas won't stop blowing my phone up.  I would like to point out that I have an untarnished record with my Best Bet Weekend pics and don't plan on letting you down anytime soon.  Enough small talk... let's get down to bidness.

  1. Jets (+8) at Colts - Who saw this coming?  The Jets are in the AFC Championship game for the first time since 1999 and are on a roll.  The Colts seem unphased by their late-season losses and the bye week.  Darrelle Revis (Yes, MacGruber... Darrelle) has been a stud and will make Payton's hemorrhoids flare up, but in the end the Colts young receiving corp will be too much.  Colts win in a close one, but 8 points is too much.
  2. Vikings at Saints (-4) - This will no doubt be a shoot out with Favre and Brees on top of their game in the post season.  As a matter of fact, this has all the makings to be one of the greatest NFC Championship games in its 30 year history.  Percy Harvin will play and will have a big game with a migraine, but Brees and his magic face mole will be triumphant in the Superdome.  Fear the face mole.  Saints cover.
  3. R-Kansas at Kentucky (-16) - IT'S A TRAP!  The Hogs gave a decent Florida squad all they wanted at home earlier this week.  They also played Texas close earlier in the year.  Fortson is back and is playing great.  The Cats have been barely getting by against the likes of Georgia and Auburn.  So, tell me then, why in the world are the Cats favored by this much?  Because they are going to have their first breakout game of the SEC season.  John Wall dunks on Fortson so hard that it blows his dreads off.  Cats cover and look like the #1 team in America doing so.
  4. Duke at Clemson (+1) - Both teams coming off disappointing losses on the road.  Duke put a whoopin on the Tigers earlier in the season at Cameron, but Clemson looks to Bounce Back (available at Amazon.com for $17.16 and eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25) in front of the ESPN College Gameday Crew.  Digger Phelps will be on-hand to annoy all of America as Clemson comes alive at home.  The orange team storms the floor.
  5. Derek Dooley Has Winning Season at UT in Year 1 (10:1) - Okay, I'll be the gazillionth person to say this: Lane Kiffin is an asshole.  I was shocked as anybody when I found out that USC wanted him to fill in for their previous asshole Pete Carroll.  Now the Vols have dug down deep (real deep) and plucked Dooley from a dismal Louisiana Tech program as recruits start jumping ship.  What a mess.  Dooley and his Bart Simpson overbite will eventually put a decent program together in Knoxville, but they will suffer some pretty severe growing pains next season.  Oh, and Cats finally break the curse next season in Knoxville.
