4 for 4 Kiddos!

Hello again sports fans!

Grandpa here and since you brought it up, lets talk about it! That’s right I called every NFL game last weekend correctly! Go ahead and check. Niners, Patriots, Ravens and the G-men! Not sure I have ever done that before, too bad I’m not a betting man. Actually it’s good that I’m not because I would have lost my shirt last year in some of those bowl games. Anyway, much more NFL excitement coming this weekend. Let’s take a look:

Ravens at Patriots.  Well listen, the Pats are awesome but they are beatable. The Ravens are a very unpredictable bunch of young men. They lost some games that they should have won and won some they should have lost. They are tough and if somehow they can shut down the Brady Bunch, they could win. Heck I’m feeling lucky and I’m taking the Ravens.

Giants at Niners. I am going with the Giants for 2 reasons. 1. Their defense is healthy and they will get to Smith. It may take a quarter or two but they will and when they do, it will be a bad time to be Alex Smith. Plus, Manning is quietly playing incredible football and his receivers are great. Bradshaw is healthy. There a lot of “ifs” in every prediction: if they make no turnovers, if the defense gets penetration, if the secondary can shut down the deep pass, but I’m not worrying about the ifs. These guys are good. If you want to be an elite team you have to beat the elite teams, the Niners are one and if you ask me, they are done. Reason #2 – Karma. Yep in 2003 they last met in the playoffs and the ref blew a call and gave the game to the Niners. The NFL even admitted it the next day, but the game was over. The Giants deserve some karmic payback and I think they will get it on Sunday.

There are only two NFL games this weekend so spend the rest of the time enjoying the Australian Tennis Open. It’s summer down there so why not take a cheap vacation and watch some great tennis down under and pretend you are there mate!

That’s it for me, have a good one!
