LeBron James MVP.
Cavs win again. Daniel Gibson gets the accolades for hitting the winning jumper, but LeBron saves the game at the end. Not only does he deliver another near triple-double, scores 37 points for the shorthanded Cavaliers without Mo and Delonte, but manages to make the defensive play necessary to preserve the victory. Just when I think I have seen the best from LeBron, he goes out and reminds me of his boundless talent. Good win for the Cavs.
Well, around a .500 day yesterday. With the NFL playoffs, not a very big day in NCAA hoops. On to the drunken picks of the day!
Favorites are in bold
Indianapolis Colts vs New York Jets in Indianapolis, Lucas Oil Stadium
Spread: 8
Pick: New York Jets
I think the Colts are going to win 20-3. That is why I am picking the Jets because I have been wrong about them the entire playoffs. Take the points, Colts win 23-20.
New Orleans Saints vs Minnesota Vikings in New Orleans, Louisiana Superdome
Spread: 3.5
Pick: New Orleans Saints
I love the Saints and that homefield advantage. In honor of the Saints and the time spent in New Orleans when McGinty tried to blow out his heart by having 50 drinks containing Red Bull in a weekend (and the Browns won a big game), I am picking the Saints. NO rolls 38-17.
And my degenerate picks of the week...
Cleveland State Vikings -4 vs Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers (I am officially on the CSU Bandwagon)
Northern Iowa Panthers -5.5 at Indiana State Sycamores (NIU rights the ship in Terre Haute)
