Week 13 - World Cup Draw

On Friday the World Cup draw comes out! Odds are, the US will be in a very difficult group since the only thing we do know is that they can't play against any of the Asian teams or other North American teams in the 1st round. This means no dream US vs. North Korea match!

Manwich Matchup of the Week & Opening Round Playoff Game #13
Baltimore @ Green Bay - Both the Ravens and the Packers need this game badly. The Ravens have a great defense, the Packers a great offense. It's anyone's guess as to how this plays out.
Pick: Green Bay

Upset of the Week
Titans @ Colts - This is really the last time the Colts could lose. The Titans have been hot, so why not?
Pick: Titans

Opening Round Playoff Game #14
Teams that have been eliminated: Cincy (against Denver in week 1)!, St. Louis, Washington, Buffalo (twice), Jacksonville, Tampa, Oakland, Detroit, San Fran, Atlanta, and now Pittsburgh:
Philly @ ATL - If ATL doesn't win this, it seems like they will certainly be eliminated. If they win, they would be right back in it!
Pick: Philly

Fantasy Football Game of Interest
Minnesota @ Arizona - Lots of fantasy players involved! Should be a fun game to watch.
Pick: Minny

Other Games
Jets @ Bills - Pick: Bills
Denver @ KC - Pick: Denver
Oak @ Pitt - Pick: Pitt
Houston @ Jack- Pick: Houston
Detroit @ Cincy - Pick: Cincy
New Orleans @ Wash - Pick: NO
Tampa @ CAR - Pick: Tampa
St. Louis @ Chicago - Pick: Chicago
San Diego @ Cleveland - Pick: SD
San Fran @ Seattle - Pick: Seattle
Dallas @ Giants - Pick: Dallas (Okay, I'm finally picking against the giants!)
New England @ Miami - Pick: New England

Last Week: 11-5
Season: 116-60
Manwich: 5-7 (I shouldn't have picked against the Saints, even if it was the Pats)
Upset of the Week: 5-7 (Never ever rely on Jake Delhomme)

NBA games of the Week-
last week's "Games of the Week" - Miami beat Orlando by 1 point; Orlando obliterated the Hawks 26-11 in the 4th; and the Cavs destroyed the Dallas Mavericks as Mo Williams went 7 for 7 behind the arc and the Cavs shot 58% from the floor.
