misterfootballfanatic.blogspot.com is convinced the right side was given in the BCS Championship Game, Texas +4.5. QB Colt McCoy got hurt on Texas' fifth play. Freshman QB Gilbert was not ready and Texas had to change their play calling, and they still cut the lead to three (24-21) with three minutes to go in the game. Then, one of the announcers says "As good as Alabama's defense is, they have not recorded a sack in this game". You guessed it, the next snap, they get to Gilbert and he fumbles, setting up Alabama at the three yard line. They scored a td two plays later, then added one after a deperation pick by Gilbert after that (when they should have been kneeling). Not to mention the lead going from 17-6 to 24-6 on an interception by Gilbert with seconds to go before halftime. This my friends, is what you call a Bad Beat! On to today's NFL Wildcard selections.

Take NYJ/CIN OVER 33.5. Everyone loves the Jets, so I'm nervous about that, I kinda like Cincy, but don't trust them either. It doesn't take much to go over 33.5 (the Jets went over that by themselves last week against Cincy). Prediction Cincy 20, Jets 17.

Take Dallas -3.5 at home vs Philly. I'm nervous about them having to beat Philly three times in one year (plus I'm a Dallas fan). But here's the thing, Dallas' O-Line and D-Line are both better and bigger than Philly's O-Line and D-Line. Romo has had a good year, and even a good December! It's as simple as this, Dallas is better than Philly this year. Prediction Dallas 27, Philly 20.
