I’ll try my hand at predicting the scores of some sporting events that are taking place this weekend. Remember these are just suggestions and I would not recommend running off to your bookie to place bets.
Georgia vs. Tennessee Men’s Basketball: Georgia 68-Tennessee 62. Not that anyone reading this blog cares about this game, but I think this could be an upset of a Top 10 team. Georgia has played a lot of close games this year and played Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State close. They also beat Georgia Tech, who has taken down UNC, Duke, and Clemson. Go Dawgs.
Ohio State vs. West Virginia: Ohio State 61-WVU 56. This may be a stretch being that it is in Morgantown. However, Ohio State is playing great basketball since the return of Evan Turner. OSU should be able to match up with WVU as they both start and consistently play 4 guards at a time. Big 10 represent.
Wisconsin vs. Penn State: Wisconsin 64-Penn State 50. I predict Wisconsin will come out on fire to start the game and that should continue through out the night. They need to bounce back after a tough shooting performance in the first half against Michigan. Penn State has not won a Big Ten game thus far. I do not see that changing. I expect big games from Bohannon and Taylor. Go Bucky.
New Orleans Saints vs. Minnesota Vikings: Saints 31-Vikings 24. I do not have much to say about this game other than I strongly dislike Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. I hope and pray that they lose this weekend. The Saints have a lot of offensive firepower, an athletic and speedy defense, and a hostile playing environment. As long as Brees and the offense come to play the Saints should pack their bags for Miami. Maybe Prince will make another inspiring song for the off-season?!
New York Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts: Colts 24-Jets 16. The Jets are playing well and have all the confidence and swagger to pull this one out. I would not be surprised to see the Jets playing for the Lombardi trophy on February 7th. However, my gut is telling me not to pick against Peyton Manning. He wants his chance at another Super Bowl in Miami. (I remember his first Super Bowl victory all to well, as I watched the Colts take down the Bears in 2007.) Plus, Jim Caldwell is from Beloit so why not support the Colts.
Odds that I get any of these correct: Slim to none.
Enjoy,
The Bean Spiller
