Big East Conference
Sean Higgs
1. West Virginia – This team is returning 16 starters and can very well be undefeated heading into their November 26th backyard brawl vs Pitt.

Never have we seen a situation quite like this one. In January QB Jeremiah Masoli led the Oregon Ducks to the Rose Bowl.

| An Important Key to Successful NFL Handicapping |

| One of the tools that most bettors don’t use to prepare for the NFL regular season is the season over/under win totals for each NFL team.

It’s essentially an inside glimpse into the best ranking available to the public without doing the work yourself. These “po ... read more |

San Francisco 49ers – I am calling for the Niners to make major strides and win the West. This franchise hasn’t had a winning season since 2002.

New Orleans Saints – Take the Super Bowl Champs here to repeat as NFC South Champions. Can’t get any better than last year’s run.

Baltimore Ravens- I am calling for a step back from the Ravens 13 win season last year to a more modest 11-5 affair this year. Joe Flacco is entering year 3 and off a season where he tossed for 3600 hundred yards. He should get to 4,000 yards this year as the offense is that much better with the arrival of WRs Anquan Boldin and Donte Stallworth. OC Ca ... read more |

Miami Dolphins - I am calling for a 10-6 season out of the Fish. They added WR Brandon Marshall who give QB Chad Henne another option to go with TE Anthony Fasano and the RB tandem of Ronnie Brown and Rickie Williams. The defense gets an upgrade with LB Karlos Dansby being brought in and by Miami using 7 of their 8 draft picks on this side of the ball. ... read more |

Sure, Magic Johnson supposedly orchestrated Paul Westhead’s firing in the early 1980s and got him replaced with Pat Riley, but Magic was at least going to be a Laker for a while.
