NFL Picks

After having a superb Wild Card Weekend, we came down to earth going 1-3 in the Divisional round. We are 5-3 overall.

With the Giants laying an egg and the Chargers not being able to run the ball against the Steelers, we went 0-2.

I think we are looking at an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl. I like the Eagles and the Steelers to meet in Tampa on February 1.

Terrell Thomas

I am a big fan of CB Terrell Thomas. I think he is a future star in the NFL. His teammate WR Steve Smith has this to share about Thomas:

From Pro Football Weekly, • Giants WR Steve Smith told PFW he feels second-year CB Terrell Thomas is the team's most improved defensive player this year. "In practice [this summer] he has made plays every day," Smith said. "He's not the fastest guy, but he has quick reactions. He's going to play a lot [this season]." Thomas is the clear front-runner to be the nickel corner, potentially challenged by Kevin Dockery.
