(Best ain't bad either.) Detroit have a good team... Would like to see Stafford stay healthy!
-
Matthew Stafford (that is, a healthy Matthew Stafford) is bloody awesome! Playoff football is going back to Detroit.

Here they are, the predictions you've been waiting for, from 45-19 Nibs: BILLS over eagles SAINTS over panthers TEXANS over raiders CHIEFS over colts JAGUARS over bengals CARDINALS over vikings GIANTS over seahawks STEELERS over titans 49ERS over bucs CHARGERS over broncos PATRIOTS over jets (go pats!) PACKERS over falcons LIONS over bears

I think Bradford can be good, too. I'm a big fan... Luck compared to Bradford two years ago = very similar. Trading away Bradford would be a step backwards, I think. I don't think the Rams' woes lie at the QB position. Use the advantage to strengthen other positions. (Of course, my knowledge of this sport is very poor... I will yield to the experts on this one.)

12 ticks, 4 crosses 45-19 for the year. I gotta stop picking the Rams.
-
Well, it will be North v. South in the final. Anyone care to guess who it'll be? I'll go for England v. N.Z.

Alright... I'm 33-15 and ready to rock and / or roll... Here's my predictions for Week 4: LIONS over cowboys BEARS over panthers BILLS over bengals BROWNS over titans CHIEFS over vikings RAMS over redskins SAINTS over jaguars TEXANS over steelers EAGLES over forty-niners GIANTS over cardinals FALCONS over seahawks CHARGERS over dolphins PATRIOTS over raiders (go pats!) PACKERS over broncos RAVENS over jets BUCS over colts

Feeling sad about Tito... but it was to be expected. Thanks for eight great years, Terry! The Rays destroyed the Rangers today. How good was Moore? There have been a few fairytales coming out of St. Petersburg, Florida in the last few days, none more than a guy pitching seven shut out innings in only his second Major League start to open the playoffs.

Oh, I totally agree about their run production and reliance on their pitching this year. But they do have the runs in them if need be and, as you point out, they are probably full to the brim in terms of the 'feel good factor'. It would amuse me no end if the Yankees lost to the Rays in the ALCS... but hopefully the Yankees won't even get that chance Guess we'll find out come 5pm ET. Let's go Rays!
-
The Rays are on a tear. You can't read too much into one game (i.e., last night)... they have a lot of runs in them. C'mon you Tigers and c'mon you Rays! (Fingers crossed the winner of Diamondbacks/Brewers beats the winner of Phillies/Cards in the NL.)
-
12 yeses and 4 buggers. I'm improving by one point every week (10, 11, 12, . . .) At this rate, I'll be getting 17 out of 16 by week eight. Stay tuned for more of what may become the NibblyPig prediction thread. (Does no-one else do predictions here?)

Blimey. Bottom of the 8th, it was Yankees 7-0 Rays... now it's in the 10th: 7-7. Yankees... you suck! Red Sox still winning in Baltimore (3-2, top of the 8th). It's close. Very close. C'mon Sox!! (Either way, though, I'll be hoping that the AL wild card winner wins the World Series... always had a bit of a soft spot for the Rays.)
-
Definitely not writing off Cano. It's a really tough one to call this year in the AL. No player has dominated; all candidates have arguments against. The Sox have really let this one slip. To be honest, the way they've played this September, they don't deserve to play in October. Here's hoping for a good couple of nights, though, where they turn things around! ... and, dare I say it, go Yankees
-
Halfway through the year, I thought Gonzalez was a certainty to win the MVP... but his long hitting has really dried up in the second half. Ellsbury is awesome. Bautista has had a huge season -- but I just can't see a player in a .500 team winning the MVP. Curtis Granderson is another good shout -- but for his homers, still only a .270ish hitter. It's a tough year to call on the AL side. I'm firmly in the camp that says pitchers should never be awarded the MVP. They play only 20% of the games for the season... and they have their own award. JV is surely a certainty for the Cy.
-
The AL wildcard race has got ridiculously close. Sox are on a ferocious downward spiral this September; Rays are chasing hard. (Looks like the Angels are almost done.) Sox and Yankees are 4-4 in the 14th inning of the 159th game. If the Sox lose this, the Rays and Sox are tied with three games to go. If the Sox win, they're a game up. [4-4 in extra innings Sox-Yankees has been a harbinger of unlikely Sox successes in the past (see, games 4 and 5 of ALCS 2004.)] C'mon Sox! Turn it around here!

What Nibs thinks: PATS over Bills PANTHERS over Jaguars BENGALS over 49ers BROWNS over Dolphins LIONS over Vikings SAINTS over Texans EAGLES over Giants TITANS over Broncos RAIDERS over Jets CHARGERS over Chiefs RAMS over Ravens PACKERS over Bears SEAHAWKS over Cardinals BUCCS over Falcons STEELERS over Colts COWBOYS over Redskins
