Crazy's NFL Playoffs predictions.

It's the midpoint in the NFL season and it looks like we have our playoff teams besides the 6 seeds and both leagues.

AFC

2. New England
3. Cincinnati
4. Indianapolis
5. Kansas City
6. Pittsburgh

#3 Cincinnati over #6 Pittsburgh
#5 Kansas City over #4 Indianapolis

#1 Denver over #5 Kansas City

Denver comes out of the AFC because Peyton Manning is just too good......

NFC
1. Seattle
2. Carolina
3. Dallas
4. Detroit

#1 Seattle over #5 New Orleans
#2 Carolina over #3 Dallas

Seattle comes out of the NFC because nobody not even Cam Newton is beating them at home.

SB pick: Seattle over Denver 31-23. One difference Seattle's defense is good and Denver's is not.

MVP: Marshawn Lynch

Crazy's Week 10 NFL picks

I've made several picks throughout the season for the Super Bowl. My new pick is Broncos over Panthers.

So on that note lets go to my Week 10 NFL picks:

Seattle over Atlanta 38-13. Let's be honest the Falcons stink, without Julio and a brutal Offensive/Defensive line they're done for and clearly Matt Ryan is not elite. Lycnh is able to run for 150 and Michael adds 90. Huge game for Seahawks to make a statement.

Detroit over Chicago 27-16. Josh McCown is on a role with the Bears and switching to Cutler is a huge huge mistake by Marc Trestman. Cutler is not under contract for next season and who knows, McCown could be the answer at QB. All Stafford has to do is throw it to Megatron and is offense will stay hot from that. 

Green Bay over Philly 17-14. This is a Running Back football game. Why? because Seneca Wallace is not good and Nick Foles is inconsistent. I say McCoy has 20 for 170 and Lacy 21 for 199. Why that much? Oh yeah both Defense's are awful as well.

*Upset Alert* Jacksonville over Tennessee 20-16. Chad Henne? Yes Chad Henne. The Jaguars are going to prove why they're not the worst team in the league (Bucs) MJD is going to have a huge game today. Chris Johnson is gonna be Chris Johnson and Jake Locker is going to show he's Jake Locker (From 2 years ago) This is easily a trap game for  Tennessee and they lay a big egg @ home.

Indianapolis over St Louis 33-16. Andrew Luck absolutely goes off on a very young defense and Trent Richardson finally breaks out of his shell. Plus their secondary will shut down Kellen Clemens, who looks lost out there. Well how do the Rams score TD's? Two Words: Zac Stacy

Oakland over New York (Giants) 28-17. Terelle Pryor will be way to much for the Giants, their LB's are just not good enough. Plus the Giants are one of the worst teams in red zone offense. Just that alone is a recipe for disaster.

Buffalo over Pittsburgh 21-17. CJ Spiller + Fred Jackson will be too much for the Steelers "old" defense. EJ Manuel can throw 9 passes and the Bills can still win. An unhappy Big Ben won't get it done again because he has no WR's and Todd Haley has no game plan.

Cincinati over Baltmore 52-14. Joe Flacco has no offense. Nothing. You can't replace Dennis Pitta/Aquan Boldin with empty space nor can you replace two great LB's with empty space. That's the Ravens problem leaving the Bengals to just be the Bengals and put last week behind them.

Carolina over San Francisco 27-23. The two hottest teams in the league square off. The Panthers can run and so can the 49ers. I think the Panthers LB's are just too much for Kaep and co.

Arizona over Houston 35-16. Houston is a hot mess and it will show today. With Foster on the shelf it will be hard to run plus Patrick Peterson will shut down Andre Johnson, whom is already Case Keenum favorite wideout. Carson Palmer just needs to not throw multiple picks and Zona will be fine.

San Diego over Denver 35-31. What? Why? Are You Crazy? Um yeah, hence the name. I think teams have figured out Denver. All you have to is put Peyton Mannng on the ground, but if San Diego fails to do that they will lose.

New Orleans over Dallas 48-23. Monte Kiffin's defense is not built to defend the deep ball and that's what Brees will do. Kenny Stills is going to have a huge game. The Saints need a big win @ home to get their fans back in it after that brutal loss to the Jets. Rob Ryan knows this team like the back of his hand and will have a game plan to shutdown Romo.

Miami over Tampa Bay 23-20. A lot of problems in Miami, i think this bring the team together. Tampa Bay played their best game last week, but probably left themselves in Seattle. Miami wins in a tough: physical game.

Crazy's POST-presason picks

NFC Playoff picks-

1. 49ers- I do not like the 49ers WR situation. When you have Kyle Williams as your #2 WR you're in a lot of trouble. Kaepernick and their defense will lead them to be a number 1 seed.

2. Packers- Drafting Eddie Lacy changes the Packers in a lot of ways. It makes them more versatile and a better team. It's going to be tough for their defense to blow games when your offense is scoring around 25 PPG.

3. Falcons- Falcons will be the best offensive team in the league, their defense is shaky. That's why i have them in the Wild Card round. Julio Jones+ Roddy White is the best WR Corps in the entire NFL.

4. Giants- Giants will barley fight there way into the playoffs, beating out the Redskins by 1 game. Only because we (I) have no idea how healthy RG3 is. 

5. Seahawks- The Seahawks WR's scare me and not in a good way. Not having Percy Harvin will be a factor. There defense and playing 8 games at home will carry them into the playoffs.

6. Saints- Drew Brees is going to have a monster year. Full year of Sean Payton and Rob Ryan as a defensive coordinator will be helpful. Look for Curtis Lofton to become the heart and soul of this defense with Vilma on the PUP.

AFC Playoff Picks-

1. Broncos- Peyton Manning is absurdly good. Not even fair. Their offense will help them get by without Von Miller for 5 more weeks.

2. Patriots- Two words: Tom Brady. Nothing else.

3. Bengals- No Steelers/Ravens? They both stink. The Bengals are a very good football team and will show that this year.

4. Texans- JJ Watt is going to win multiple games for the Texans and he's a DE. He's that good. That tells you how good the Texans are, even if they're a 4 seed.

5. Colts- Andrew Luck is going to have a great year. Don't listen to the critics. He'll put the Colts on his back if he has to.

6. Dolphins- Having money to spend will make the difference. Tannehill is surrounded by talent and is talented. Watch out for a good year.

Playoff Predictions

Giants over Seahawks. Giants offense will tear apart Seattle's Defense. Plus not having home-field advantage will be a difference maker for Seattle. 

Saints over Falcons. Drew Brees is Drew Brees and Drew Brees is very good.

Texans over Colts. Colts Defense is mediocre, Arian Foster will run all over them.

Bengals over Dolphins. Nothing really to say, either then the Bengals being the better team.

Packers over Giants. Third times a charm at Lambeau. Sorry Giants not this year.

Patriots over Bengals. Tom Brady.

Saints over 49ers. Kaepernick will run like crazy, Brees will throw like crazy. Shootout at Candlestick. Saints come out on top.

Broncos over Texans. This is not even fair, Peyton will have a field day,

Broncos over Patriots. Best QB's in football square off. I just think the Broncos are the better team. 

Saints over Packers. Excuse me, i just like the Saints this year.

SUPER BOWL: This year is Peyton's year. Brees will be insanley good, but so will Peyton.

Broncos over Saints: 38-32.

MVP: Peyton Manning. 

Crazy's week 1 NFL picks

Crazy's NFL Preview

I was taking a break from my blog for awhile because not a lot was happening in the Sports World. The NFL season is approaching, and everyone is excited. My team: The Mets is not doing a good job of holding me over until football. Even though I'm a Jets fans I'm excited for the season and expect there to be a ton of surprises. So here we go:

AFC East:

Patriots: 10-6

Dolphins: 9-7

Jets: 7-9

Bills: 2-14

Bills 2-14?!? Yes they have a tough schedule and don't have a good team don't expect anything good from this team except CJ Spiller. Also the Patriots and Playoffs? What? Never ever count out Tom Brady

AFC North:

Bengals: 11-5

Steelers: 9-7

Ravens: 8-8

Browns: 7-9

Two Surprises, neither of them is the Bengals in first place. Let's be honest the defending Super Bowl champs got worse and won't be good. The Browns are a rising good team, expect them to be in almost every game this year.

AFC South:

Colts: 12-4

Texans: 11-5

Titans: 7-9

Jaguars: 3-13

Colts are better than the Texans. Matt Schaub cannot win a Super Bowl, he just can't. It's not in his nature. Andrew Luck is much much better. Titans and Jaguars will be the same old same old.

AFC West:

Broncos: 13-3

Chiefs: 8-8

Chargers: 7-9

Raiders: 0-16

Not much have changed, the Raiders are the worse team in the NFL and will show that season. In Oakland they're chanting TED-DY BRIDGE-WATER!!!

Playoff Seeds: Broncos-1 Colts-2 Bengals-3 Patriots-4 Texans-5 Steelers-6

AFC Champ: Colts

NFC East:

Giants: 10-6

Cowboys: 9-7

Redskins: 7-9

Eagles: 5-11

Michael Vick is not the answer and never will be. RG3 will have to become a different Quarterback and won't be the same.

NFC North: 

Packers: 11-5

Vikings: 8-8

Lions: 6-10

Bears: 5-11

The Bears are real real bad and showed it the preseason. Either then that nothing changed.

NFC South:

Falcons: 14-2

Saints: 10-6

Panthers: 9-7

Bucs: 7-9

Revis Island isn't going to help a bad offense. Expect Mike Glennon to take over in week 8. Panthers will be better, but their defense will keep them from the playoffs.

NFC West:

49ers: 12-4

Seahawks: 10-6

Rams: 9-7

Cardnials: 6-10

The Rams a winning record? Whaat? The Rams will be back. The 49ers are overrated and won't match what they did last season.

Playoff Seeds: Falcons-1 49ers-2 Packers-3 Giants-4 Seahawks-5 Saints-6

NFC Champ: Falcons

Super Bowl: Falcons over Colts

Super Bowl MVP: Matt Ryan

MVP: Drew Brees

OROY: DeAndre Hopkins

DROY: Sheldon Richardson

DPOY: JJ Watt

Comeback Player of the Year: Tony Romo

Coach of the Year: Mike Smith 

Biogenesis Breakdown

Should Alex Rodriguez be allowed to play when he appeals?

My answer is hell no! This shouldn't even be a question. The MLB has a ton of evidence against him and he shouldn't even be allowed to appeal. The MLB shouldn't ban him because it will make them look bad. He's not Pete Rose, he's not gambling, but he is cheating. He should be suspended immediately until 2015.

The question is should the other players have appealed instead of accepting it? My answer is no. They can be replaced. Just like Melky Cabrera last year, he was available for the playoffs and the Giants said no. That might be the case with Peralta & Cruz.

Jordany Valdespin is a total fraud. I hope he never gets a job in baseball ever again. He's the most selfish player I've ever seen play. He deserves, what he gets. He can play for the Newark Bears for all i care. This means the Mets should vacate any record he leads (Pinch Hit Home Runs)

Three Yankees got suspended today. How does this make the organization look? Really bad. They look more like a circus then they ever had before. Even worse than the Clemmens saga. Montero, Martinez, Rodriguez, and Cerveli.

From now on it should be one strike and you're out. Kudos to the MLB for cutting down on the cheating, enough is enough. Clean up the Sport. If you get caught, ban them from the sport for life.

Crazy's Miami Hurricanes Preview

Football may be back in Miami. It depends if they disqualify themselves or not. I believe that all these scandals will not become a distraction and will only be better for this squad.

Bold Prediction: Stephen Morris will have an amazing year capping off his college career. He will get himself into the first round in the NFL Draft. He has that talent & Miami has the offense to help him. Speaking of breakout years: Duke Johnson. He's going to have an absurd year. In my opinion he's the best running back in all of college football.

Let's go over the schedule: 

Florida Atlantic-W
Florida-L

Savannah St-W

South Florida-W
Georgia Tech-W
UNC-W
Wake Forrest-W
Florida St-L
VT-W
Duke-W
Virginia-W
Pitt-W

Putting them at 10-2 in a bowl game & in the top 25.

In Al Golden we trust []_[]

The 6 Man Plan (New York Mets Edition)

Jenry Mejia, a 23 year old prospect who seems like he's been around in the league forever found himself in Washington this afternoon. Yes Washington is struggling, but Mejia was filthy.  He got 15 swinging strikes!  His final line- 7 innings pitched, 7 hits, 0 runs, 0 earned, 7 strikeouts. Lucky #7 for Mejia.

Now the Mets are forced to keep him in the rotation. Forced? Yes, forced. You can't keep a guy like this out of the rotation. Harvey-Gee-Torres-Hefner-Wheeler-Mejia is very underrated. Plus Harvey and Wheeler need to shed a lot of innings if the Mets plan on keeping them in rotation for the rest of the season.

Scott Atchison should be DFA'd to make room for Mejia. He's old, his velocity isn't good, and he's constantly injured.

The Mets can possibly pitch themselves into a .500 season and that's a good thing to have.

Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater

When you look up Ryan Braun's name today what do you see? Cheater? Liar? Addict? Idiot? Selfish? He fits all four of those words quite well actually.

Everybody thought that Ryan Braun had the purest talent in the world and was the next " Hank Aaron" When you looked up his name in 2011 you would see: MVP, ROY, All-Star, "next big thing"

Do you think Ryan Braun knew what he was doing? Absolutely!! He is a selfish individual who only cares about himself. Not his team, friends, family, or fans. He didn't care. H. was suspended in 2011 after his MVP season He got someone fired for doing their job and someone got his suspension overturned.

The MLB was furious they let him get away. At that point in time everyone knew he was on Roids. I bet even his own manager knew.

65 games and losing 3 million dollars is not enough of a punishment for the actions this man did. As one teammate of Braun put it " It's like giving money away to charity for him, he doesn't care about 3 million dollars"
Him and Alex Rodriguez should be banned from baseball for life. They've been warned numerous numerous times yet they still keep doing. They're like 5 year olds.

If the MLB were smart they'd make Ryan Braun give his 2007 ROY to Troy Tulowitzki and his 2011 MVP to Matt Kemp

Why Baseball is amazing (Story of the 2013 Boston Red Sox)

The Boston Red Sox were a joke last season. Beyond laughable. 69-93, last place in the best division in baseball. From day one Bobby Valentine had no control over is team and they underperformed every night.

The Red Sox hired their former pitching coach John Farell and all the puzzle pieces fell into place. This team is extremely talented and one of the best teams in baseball. After losing the bad contracts of Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Adrian Gonzalez they've actually become better

This team is a Starting Pitcher and a Bullpen Piece away from becoming a championship caliber team. Look for likes of Matt Graza, Jake Peavy, Bud Norris, Francisco Rodriguez, Bobby Parnell, and Jonathan Pabelpon to be traded for. They have everything right in front of them.

Losing arguably their top 3 best relievers in Andrew Bailey, Joel Hanrahan, and Andrew Miller has only made them stronger. Although they might be in trouble if Clay Bucholz is indeed injured.

They needed someone to step up maybe someone like Wil Middlebrooks you'd think, right? No, he's currently in the minors. Dustin Pedoria and David Ortiz are both having MVP seasons. One of them is currently in talks to be locked up for $100 Million.

The Red Sox might be compared to the San Antonio Spurs and not in the way you think. This is the year to put all the eggs in the basket an try an win it all. This might be their last chance for a while. It's the Red Sox, trust me they'll be willing to take risks.

Crazy's Thought of the day

The Charlotte Bobcats have changed their name back to the Hornets. The name Bobcats never fit in right, it was awkward. In my opinion this is definitely a great move for the City. Will it draw more fans? Certainly!!! Will it help the team win more game? My guess is no.

MLB pitching match ups of the day:
Ricky Nolasco(LAD) vs Stephen Starsburg(WSH)
David Price(TB) vs Esmil Rogers(TOR)
Francisco Liriano(PIT) vs Mike Leake(CIN)
Anibal Sanchez(DET) vs Ervin Santana(KC)
Joe Saunders(SEA) vs Bud Norris(HOU)
Jeff Samardzija(CHC) vs Jorge De La Rosa(COL)
AJ Griffin(OAK) vs Jered Weaver(LAA)

The two must-watch games tonight are: Dodgers @ Nationals and A's @ Angels.

Also it looks like Matt Garza will indeed be dealt this weekend.

In NFL news today: The Buccaneers have traded CB Eric Wright to the 49ers for a 2014 conditional round pick.

Crazy's thought of the day

Today in sports:
Mike Miller was amnestied by the Miami Heat. Mike, was a key player in game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals and is one of the reasons why Miami became champions.

RIP Jon Richardson, the son of Panthers owner Jerry. Jon, was 53.

(Yesterday's thought) Yoenis Cespedes who hadn't hit a HR in a month won the HR Derby and showed viewers how much power he truly has. He really has unbelievable bat speed.

Tonight is the 2013 ASG at Citi Field. Max Scherzer vs Matt Harvey.

AL Lineup:
Mike Trout-LF
Robinson Cano-2B
Miguel Cabrera-3B
Chris Davis-1B
Jose Bautista-RF
David Ortiz-DH
Adam Jones-CF
Joe Mauer-C
JJ Hardy-SS

NL Lineup:
Brandon Phillips-2B
Carlos Beltran-RF
Joey Votto-1B
David Wright-3B
Carlos Gonzalez-LF
Yadier Molina-C
Troy Tulowitzki-SS
Michael Cuddyer-DH
Bryce Harper-CF

Bold Prediction: NL wins 7-3.
MVP- Michael Cuddyer 2-2 3-run HR.

Mets Young starts shine in the Futures Games

Noah Syndergaard standing at 6-6 has electrifying stuff that blows hitters away. He may very well be the centerpiece in the Dickey trade if d'Arnuad cannot stay healthy. In my opinion he's the best prospect in the Mets system. The Mets would be crazy to trade him away in a deal for an OF. Can you imagine a rotation of Harvey-Wheeler-Syndergaard-Niese-Gee? That's probably a top 5 rotation in the MLB. Lets not forget about Rafael Montero, who has great stuff as well. JP Riccardi says his ceiling is a #4, but he can be a #3. I do see him being dealt in a trade for a OF because he isn't as good as a prospect as Syndergaard is. 

Mets fans should be happy. We have a bright future and it showed today at the Future Games.

What happens in New York stays in Vegas. (JVNONE Edition)

Jordany Valdespin is a joke of a professional ball player. He's the definition of immature, a 13 year old girl may be more mature. Valdespin's inability to hit and his child like behavior has tabbed him the nickname Jvnone. Not his self proclaimed one: JV1. Valdespin has been absolutely ice cold as a pinch hitter this season and to start flipping out crying after being demoted? Like this was a surprise? He was in hot water since May. The only reason the Mets hadn't demoted him earlier is because he is a utility guy.

On the other hand he was a very dangerous Pinch Hitter last season and has the most career pinch hit home runs in a single season for the New York Mets . I hope he can figure it out in Vegas, but he needs to grow up and act his age.

Kovy screws over Devils.

Ilya Kovalchuck will go down in Devils fans hearts with Steve Bernier, Mark Messier, and Stefan Matteau. The Devils were having a good offseason signing Michael Ryder and Ryan Clowe. Now Kovalchuk who has 12 years. 77 million  left on his contract had decided to retire and single-handedly screw over the Devils. The Devils will know how to handle this with Lou Lamoriello, who is one the greatest general managers in the history of sports. This will be tough losing Parise, Clarkson and now Kovy, but the New Jersey Devils will indeed figure it out!

Crazy's Patriots a circus?

Have the Patriots become a circus? I say yes. After Aaron Hernandez got charged with murder i said maybe, but now with Dennard getting arrested it's a definite yes. In my opinion Bill Belichick has lost his team. This team might not even break 9 wins. The defense is mediocre. The offense became worse. The Patriots have lost the " Patriot Way" and their swagger.

Lets be honest their offense is nothing special besides Brady and the o-line. Their running game is above average, but their receiving corps is mediocre. They get praised for every move they make like Tebow. Tebow isn't as big in New England as he was in New Jersey. But still he sucks and isn't an NFL player.

Hopefully this team is on it's way outs, coming from a Jets fan of course who despises the Pat-Riots.

Crazy's Yankees Report

Lets be honest, this is the worst roster the Yankees have put on the field in the last decade. They replaced injured all-stars with slow washed up veterans past their prime. The Yankees will finish last in the AL East and I'm being nice!!!

Look for the Yankees to make some noise at the trading deadline, maybe even dumping Joba Chamberlin and Phil Hughes for nothing. They need a hitter maybe some veterans like Marlon Byrd, Michael Young, etc.  Maybe a pitcher like Matt Garza. I expect the Yankees to be back and full strength for spring training while be busy this upcoming off season.

But for now if i were a Yankees fan I'd be worried.

Crazy's NY Giants Pre-Training Camp Report

The Giants are the best team in the NFC East. It isn't a lie. RG3 has one leg and will be forced to throw a lot. Romo is inconsistent and isn't trustworthy and same with the Eagles. They don't have the best roster. Their running game and o-line are going to be their Kryptonite, not their defense. David Wilson cannot pass block and Andre Brown is always hurt they need a veteran RB. Maybe the likes of Jackie Battle or Cedric Benson? The one person you can always trust is Eli Manning. If Hakeem Nicks can stay healthy and Victor Cruz can hold on to the ball the Giants offense will be scoring a lot.

On the other hand, their defense is the one thing that will be underrated. Their pass rushing will be back and the secondary will strive after struggling last season.

The Giants are the best sports team in NY right now and maybe they'll prove it this year. The Giants are a very dangerous threat in the playoffs! Look out!

Crazy's post sweep breakdown

Harvey, Gee, and Wheeler all started for the Mets this weekend. Who pitched the best game for the Mets? Harvey? No, Wheeler. Wheeler's line 7 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, 1 earned, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts. After being doubted from scouts and fans after shaky starts vs Washington and Chicago Wheeler has indeed bounced back. The Mets offense really came to play this week especially Marlon Byrd, who had a huge grand slam that capped off Tuesday night's win.

Is this a sign for things to come for the Mets? Maybe, maybe not. They aren't going to let what happens before July 31st dictate what happens on July 31st. The Mets stumbled into last year's ASB and quickly crumbled out of the race. Hopefully, this is the exact opposite. We can only hope because unfortunately the Mets will have to trade one of their key players at the Trade Deadline: Marlon Byrd. Byrd is not going to bring a big piece back, but a contender desperate for a bat may overpay. I see the Mets getting an AA player. Latroy Hawkins and or Rafael Montero/Wilmer Flores could be gone as well. The Mets need to trade for a proven veteran OF who can help them in the future.

If all goes well the Mets can finish at .500. If!!!!

This City is under new management!

The new look Nets with Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Jason Terry bring a dynamic feature that the Knicks cannot match. I truly think the Nets can make a deep run into the playoffs with their new and improved roster. Who has a better starting 5 than Williams-Johnson-Pierce-Garnett-Lopez? Very few teams. Their bench isn't bad either with Blatche, Terry, Livingston, Evans, Plumlee, Taylor, Telo, and Toko. With J-Kidd under the helm, this team can go far into the playoffs. Like Prokhorov said " I guarantee a championship in the next 5 years" He may be right and he has showed that he is willing to spend money. We have to wait and see, but this team looks in good shape.

Crazy day for Sandy Alderson

This is a "bad day" for Sandy Alderson. The only two major league contracts he handed out this winter will never throw a pitch for the Mets again.

Brandon Lyon was a low risk, high reward type of guy. He shined in the early half the season, but lately his stats have diminished. He was very trustworthy up until late May early June. The line that probably killed his Mets career was vs the Nationals, in a game most Mets fans try not to remember.

On the other Shaun Marcum is probably the best 1-10 pithcer in baseball. The Mets knew his track record and knew all about his injuries. It was a "big risk" that didn't pan out. Are the Mets better off without Marcum? Yes and No. No for the now being and yes for when Jon Niese is able to come back. For now Carlos Torres who posts an under 0.60 ERA out of the bullpen, will be a fine fill in for the now being.
