NFL Week Plays of the Day: Championship Game Sunday

Two games today and I like the two favories.

New England -7 and San Francisco -2

New England has been clicking on all cylinders. so this is a pretty easy pick.

The second game isn't as easy, and it should be a good game, but I think the 49ers offense woke up last week.  Couple that with a Giants team that is due for a little bit of a letdwon following their big win over the Packers.

I like the Pats and the Niners to win today.

Week 3 NFL Play of the Day: New England

We'll learn a lot about these two teams (New England at Buffalo), especially Buffalo, as these two teams clash Sunday afternoon.

This line has steadily been coming down and I say, all the better  What started as Buffalo +11 is now down to a Buffalo +7 or +8.  It doesn't matter take New England.

I can't see Buffalo getting any pressure on Tom Brady, and I think the Bill's secondary remains untested.

Some trends.  New England is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings.  The Bills are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. AFC East and 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 home games.

In other words take the Pats.

As a bonus play the over is 18-3 in the Patriot's last 21 games.  The total will go over 54 so take the OVER.

Buffalo Feeling Brunt of Winter Storm

Pro sports teams and travelers trying to catch a flight have been in the same boat in places lie Buffalo where winter weather continues to cause problems.

The New England Patriots even had to spend an extra night in the area after their game against Buffalo because of the weather.

Here's a clip of a local newscast from Buffalo.

Danny Woodhead Sells His Own Jerseys

Danny Woodhead of the New England Patriots doesn't look like a professional football player. 

So it wasn't much of a shock to me when he went to work in a sporting goods store to try and sell Patriot's merchandise.  Still, he actually did a great job, and fooled most of the customers.

Favre Will Start

Was there any question Brett Favre would start if he can walk?  The question now is how long can he last?  We'll find out today at 4:15 when the Vikings take on the Patriots.

My expectations are to play and play well enough for us to have a chance to win this game," Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder on Saturday.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Jackson finishes this game, if the Vikings get down big early, and they might because New England will be relentless against Favre and remember he has 2 fractres in his ankle.  Mark my word, Favre will bench himself as soon as this game is out of reach. 

I have to think Tarvaris Jackson will et in this game and be more effective that Favre.
