Well, all the teams I picked are knocked out of the SuperBowl. At least its a Harbaugh SuperBowl I guess. Not bad for a first. As much as I respect Ray Lewis, odds are against him. Still, odds were against them for the most part of the postseason and they managed to win, first against Broncos and then against Patriots.
Another problem is in soccer. Everton sucked. Of so many easy chances against Southampton, who is actually pretty tough for a team that lost 8 out of their first 10, Everton could not score. To be truthful, Everton sucked like most of the top 7. Why the top 7 sucked? Peter Reid mentioned that Everton should have been 10 more points and sit third. I slightly agree but the other teams ALSO did not take off despite Everton not getting that extra 10 points. So, is Everton the only team that sucked? Not really. But the only team in more trouble than Everton is Arsenal and that is not good for a team trying to go to the Champions League.
One other thing. Norwich is in relegation form. BUT, that's only because they are playing against all the top teams. I still stand by my claim that they are not relegation material because of this calculation, ONLY if they do not carry this form against the BOTTOM 5 teams. As for Southampton, I think they are also NOT relegation candidate, even when they were losing 8 out of their first 10. OK, I was kinda sure after they beat Villa. I'm sorry to hear they fired Adkins who did VERY well. That said, I would like to see Luke Shaw in Everton. That will provide cover or replacement for Baines, pushing the team forward.
Man, I don't believe I'm going to pound the table for this. WE NEED ANOTHER STRIKER. WE NEED TO PLAY ANICHEBE MORE. Maybe playing Anichebe as the out and out striker can help and benching Jelavic for the time being. I like Jelavic but he needs some time on the bench to work through his slump.
