Fithian's Fab Five Predictions
By: Dennis Fithian
Super Bowl prediction: Ravens vs. Packers
Bold NFL prediction: The Carolina Panthers will make the playoffs
College Picks last week 1-1
Michigan -21 vs. Air Force: After last week, if UM is in position to tack some extra points late in this one, they will.
Prediction: Wolverines 38 Falcons 13
Michigan State -21 @ Central Michigan: Chips have already won with this game being in Mount Pleasant.
Prediction: Spartans 38 Chips 13
Other college football locks:
Tonight Cinci -4 vs. Pitt: Something fishy with this line as Pitt opened up as the favorite but the big swing now has Cinci as the favorite. Don't ask why just go with the Bearcats.
Prediction: Bearcats 35 Panthers 21
Pro Picks
Detroit -9.5 vs. St Louis: Detroit's biggest weakness, a bad secondary can't be exploited by the worst receiving corps in football. Easy pick.
Prediction: Lions 31 Rams 17
San Fran +7 @ Green Bay: This looks like the preview of the NFC Championship game. I like the Packers to go to the Super Bowl and win their opener by a field goal.
Prediction: Packers 24 49ers 21
Houston -13 vs. Miami: Rookie quarterback starting on the road against a playoff team. The real hard knocks start for the Dolphins on Sunday.
Prediction: Texans 28 Dolphins 13
