...Is back with more 2003 PRE-SEASON projections!! This Years Picks and Predictions are sponsored by:
Thurs. Aug. 14th
Oakland +2.5 vs. San Fran -2.5In the NFL they have a saying "your never as good as you are when you win, and never as bad as you look when you lose." Of course that doesn't always apply to the preseason. These "meaningless" games have a whole different take. Since they aren't really played on even footing. The Raiders, a proven veteran team really could care less about this game. You wont see Gannon going to Brown or Rice for TDs, heck they may not even suit up. San Fran will be going without QB Jeff Garcia this week either - as he is out with a bad back. Instead Tim Rattay will man the controls, followed by Brandon Doman and Ken Dorsey. For Doman and Dorsey - they wont be laughing through this game as they are trying to earn a job. SF looked good in their debut winning handily. The Raiders didn't - the PanaGeo Computer - virtually useless in preseason - devouring the stats comes up with SF winning this one. Flaunting in the computers face (or would it be monitor) - I was impressed with the Depth on the Raiders Defense, and especially in these early games when the Defense has the upper hand - I expect they will again. Trying to show that indeed Man is superior to machine - I will put that to the test on the Back of the Silver and Black. ************************************* WE WILL HAVE MORE PICKS POSTED THROUGHOUT THIS SITE VERY SOON - PLEASE CHECK BACK WITH US SOON.

EDGE While the Doc is preparing for a big 2003 season, he has provided us with the Docs "top 25". Just a little taste for those College Ball fans.
With fall camps about to open, the Doc has some thoughts on the upcoming season. 1. The defense at Oklahoma might be the best defense in the last 15 years of college football. Doc likes seven players on this defense to play on Sundays in the near future. 2. Ron Zook won't be able to survive another 5-loss season at Florida. Miami, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida State and LSU are all losable games. Maybe not five losses but the Gator faithful might want to expect three. Good news, Auburn is not on the schedule and Tennessee comes to Gainesville. 3. With the schedule allowing no margin for error, Colorado will sink or swim very quickly. Looking at the schedule and the history of early season let downs, I'm thinking the former. 4. Archie Manning, good call on making sure that Eli has a small Heisman campaign. It really won't matter when Ole Miss (politically correct mascot and all) go 6 - 5. 5. Tennessee will be the comeback story of the year if they can stay healthy. If I'm wrong, the pressure on Phillip Fulmer will grow to nightmarish proportions and Casey Clausen will have left Knoxville never having fulfilled his promise. Note the Doc hedging a bit on this one... 6. Clemson, Nebraska, Arizona and Mississippi State will be in the hunt for a Head Coach after the 2003 season. Look for Rick Neuheisel to hit the ground running and go after the job in Tucson with the Arizona Wildcats. He's a Pac 10 guy, great recruiter and a player's coach. The attorney turned football coach just seems to have a problem with brain freeze when confronted with the smallest of decisions.

Play Buy Tickets for Every NFL team including Rams . 49ers . Eagles . Broncos . Cowboys . Chiefs . Dolphins . NY Giants . NY Jets . Bucs 7. 5 - 8, 44 yards, 0 touchdowns - that is the 2002 stat line for, now, Texas starting QB Chance Mock. He was All American in high school but has not gotten many reps in his three years at Texas. Problem is; he has no time for growing pains with Arkansas, Kansas State and Oklahoma in the front half of the 2003 season. I guess the fans can still blame Chris Simms if things don't go well. 8. At USC, the focus will turn, initially, from offense to defense but with the weapons on offense, the Trojans will be just fine. Did I say fine; USC will be very good and at the top of the food chain in the Pac 10. At least there will be one team in the Pac 10 that will play serious defense. 9. Good news;
Dennis Francione is one hell of a coach and he will get things turned around
at Texas A & M. Bad news; won't be in 2003. The Aggies are still looking at 3
but possibly 5 hits to the loss column. I'm even excited about the prospects
in the Big 12 South over the next few years. Texas A & M could pitch their
tent in the Top 10 rankings before too long. Need to get to the Games -- Try our LOW FARE finder and GET THE LOWEST PRICE on AIRFARE, CAR RENTALS and HOTELS. 10. Wyoming will be the most exciting team with a ton of loses if the defense cannot shore up the holes. Casey Bramlet and receivers Ryan McGuffey and Malcolm Floyd will post huge numbers on the offensive side of the ball. Just wondering if anyone cares... 11. Kansas State vs. Massachusetts on September 13th gets my vote for the ugly game of the year. Kansas State's non-conference schedule includes Troy State, McNeese State (I-AA), and UMass. Pre-season Top 5 and that's all you can give me. Why don't you throw in the Sister Mary's Fat Farm Powder Puff Team? 12. With five new offensive linemen, David Pollack, Will Thompson and a very experienced Georgia secondary will carry the Bulldogs for the first half of the season. No worries Bulldog fans, this team will still be very good and very well coached. 13. Miami, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech will all be undefeated and in the Top 10 on November first when the 'round robin' between the three teams plays out over the next five weeks. Doc is likin the Canes again. | ||||||||||

Denver -1.5 vs. Chicago +1.5Denver looks to be a solid club this year, as they have depth along both offensive and defensive lines. The Bears are looking for quality depth themselves as the lack of depth contributed to their collapse last season. Even in front of the home fans in preseason, the one thing you cannot conceal is lack of quality depth in the lines. That will manifest itself with the Denver defense harassing, an already struggling, bear offense which even in ideal circumstances has trouble scoring points. ************************************* Click here to Enter our FORUM and let us know what you think of our SITE!

Arizona +4.5 at San Diego -4.5One more pick this week for those who like the late games. The last Saturday game from way out west. The Chargers look like a solid team, picking up former Cardinal David Boston. Even though he had a TD reception the Bolts still lost last week. That figures to change when they host the depleted Cards. Someone needs to tell that to the Cards. The Redbirds are one of the hottest plays in the preseason - demonstrating that by blanking the preseason king Bill Parcells last week. They are getting a generous 4.5 at VIP SPORTS and Im a-taking that in the nightcap! ************************************* What?? The Greek is taking all Road teams?? You disagree??

Thanks for Checking us out!! |  14. That loud thud that you hear coming from Big 12 country is the Texas Tech Red Raiders. With quarterback Kliff Kingsbury, DE Aaron Hunt and LB Lawrence Flugence finishing their eligibility, Head Coach Mike Leach will be get to prove his theory that recruiting really doesn't matter. It will be easier to count wins than losses in Lubbock. 15. Arizona State should have beaten Kansas State in last years Holiday Bowl. The defense will miss Terrell Suggs but will be stronger on the whole. With no Washington on the Pac 10 slate, a September 27th date at Oregon State followed the next week with hosting USC will determine if the Sun Devils can actually run the table. Look for ASU to finish in the Top 10.
16. Washington has the most lethal pass/catch combination in the nation in
Cody Pickett (4,458 yards and 28 touchdowns) and Reggie Williams (94 catches,
1454 yards and 11 touchdowns - love this guy) but it could be more efficient
now with the inclusion of highly touted freshman receiver Craig Chambers
making his way towards Lake Washington. He should be able to remove some
double coverage from Williams.
17. Virginia Tech RB Kevin Jones will be the Heisman Trophy front-runner when the 7 - 0 Hokies suit up against Miami (FL) on November 1st. He will have 1,300 yards with five games to go on the schedule. After that loss, the race opens up... 18. The comeback player of the year will be Bernard Berrian, WR, from Fresno State. An All-American while catching balls from current Houston Texan David Carr in 2001, he missed last year with injuries but comes back in 2003 and should be back to form and catching balls from Paul Pinegar. 19. Guy Morris and the new staff at Baylor will make big improvements in the Bear football program but the results may not show up in the win column. Being in the toughest division of the toughest conference in America will make it hard to get wins in year one. 20. October 11 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas might be a game of undefeated teams but it won't come easy. Texas or Oklahoma could come in with action in the loss column. The biggest test for Okalahoma will be the traveling headache, Fresno State while Texas will get a visit from conference foe and Top 5 team, Kansas State. 21. The honeymoon is over and the novelty has waned; Notre Dame is lacking the talent and the offense to be a big time player this year. Despite the pressure from ND faithful, this team will struggle because of a brutal schedule The team may actually have improved from last year, but not where it counts - the record. Hang tough, Irish. Ever dreamed about a place on South Beach?? 22. The whole Big East should get use to one name, Philip Goodman. This REALLY talented receiver from Vallejo, CA via Sacramento City College signed with Oregon out of high school and was recruited and offered in 2003 by Georgia, Arizona State, Oregon and Boise State but for some, yet unexplained, reason ended up in 'Philly' as a Temple Owl. 23. UCLA took the same gamble that USC did two years ago and hired someone that most thought to be a bad hire. To USC's credit, they hired a coach who, at least, had head coaching experience. Karl Dorrell made very few people smile in the four years he spent as an offensive coordinator at two schools, Washington and Colorado, before coaching the receivers for the Denver Broncos. To his credit, he hired a good staff for the Bruins. 24. Willis McGahee who? Frank Gore will make everyone in Coral Gables a believer once again. If Miami (FL) can pull things together on the defensive line (they should be able to), the Hurricanes should have little drop-off from last year and could find themselves in New Orleans. 25. October 11 is going to be the day of the college football year. LSU vs. Florida, Texas vs. OU, Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State, Florida State vs. Miami (FL) and Georgia @ Tennessee. Where does ESPN Game Day go? My guess; the fairgrounds in Dallas, TX, again. | ||||||||||
