Army Black Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen Game Preview

CFB Handicapping – Army Black Knights (3-8) vs Navy Midshipmen (4-8)

The annual Army-Navy game is as American as hot dogs, apple pie and foreclosures. Okay, that was below the belt. But the two military academies have been locking horns for the past 81 years.

Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings – October 23

NFL Preview – Packers vs Vikings Free NFL Prediction

The Green Bay Packers are now the league’s only perfect team and the way they have been playing they might stay that way for a while.  Most of their wins have been blowouts with the team that got the closest being the Panthers in week 2, they lost by just 7.

Atlanta vs. Detroit Free Week 7 Preview & Pick

NFL Preview – Falcons vs Lions Free NFL Prediction

The Atlanta Falcons had to have a victory last week against Carolina and won by 14 despite being outgained for the contest.  They are still behind the eight ball in the divisional and conference playoff picture and need to get away from their win one, lose one pattern after six games.

Chicago vs. Tampa Bay Free Week 7 Preview & Pick

NFL Preview – Bears vs Buccanners Free NFL Prediction

The Chicago Bears won on Sunday night against a horribly troubled Minnesota Vikings team..  At 3-3 they are staying alive in the early NFC playoff picture but they have a lot of work to do if they want to challenge the NFC North leaders Detroit and Green Bay.

San Francisco vs Detroit Free Week 6 Preview & Pick

This is a great matchup between the two most pleasant surprises in the league this season. San Francisco had absolutely no letdown last Sunday after coming back to beat Philadelphia the previous week. They destroyed a pretty good Tampa Bay team, winning by their largest margin since 1987 I believe.

Chicago vs Detroit Free Week 6 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions Gambling Preview

The Bears got back to winning last week, taking a close one against rookie sensation Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.  It was somewhat of a stunning result given they were beaten big time in the stats.

Tennessee vs Pittsburgh Free Week 6 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Denver Broncos vs Green Bay Packers Gambling Preview

Tennessee is the most pleasant surprise in the NFL season in my books.  I thought this was a team that might win 6 games this year and heading into week 5 they are already half way to that total.  Included among them was a victory over the Baltimore Ravens by 13 points, a Ravens team that beat Pittsburgh by 28 in week 1.

Denver vs. Green Bay Free Week 4 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Denver Broncos vs Green Bay Packers Gambling Preview

The Denver Broncos are 1-2 but all of their games have been close, decided by three points or less.  Last week they were winning late but Matt Hasselbeck was able to engineer a Titans TD drive in the closing minutes for Tennessee to steal the game.

Minnesota vs. Kansas City Free Week 4 Preview & Pick

Bet On NFL Football – Minnesota Vikings vs K.C. Chiefs Gambling Preview

Minnesota is the most surprising of the group of teams that is currently 0-3.  Not because they are any good but because in all three of their games they held double digit leads only to give them up over the course of the second half and lose – most recently to Detroit in overtime.

ULM vs. TCU Free Week 3 Preview & Pick (Sept. 16)

Bet On College Football – Lousiana-Monroe Warhawks vs TCU Horned Frogs Gambling Preview

After two games the Wahawks sit at 1-1 but it is hard to gauge this club right now.  They were shutout by Florida State in their opener and followed that up with a 35-7 pasting of Grambling State.

Week 3: Pittsburgh vs. Iowa Preview & Free Pick

Pittsburgh (2-0) at Iowa (1-1) Gambling Preview + Predictions

The Iowa Hawkeyes look to bounce back from a disappointing triple overtime loss to Iowa State. It was a game that the Hawkeyes were expected to win, but in the end their defense let them down.

Boise State vs. Toledo Free Week 3 Preview & Pick (Sept. 16)

Bet On College Football – Boise State Broncos vs Toledo Rockets Gambling Preview

Boise State had little trouble with Georgia in the opener but I am not sure if they were helped in their pursuit of a BCS title game bid by the Bulldogs close loss to South Carolina last week.
