MR. THURSDAY NIGHT

Sorry for the late add here but we see value we can not refuse in the Cal Bears tonight. Texas and their four headed monster at quarterback will continue to sputter on offense while their defense will have no answer for Cal super stud WR Keenan Allen.

ATLANTA FALCONS -13 VS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

THE KING IS CROWNED

In a game which lived up to all the pregame hype, the top seeded LSU Tigers (Adam) defeated the fiesty Boise State Broncos (Dan), 20-13 to claim the Lindgren Cup 4 Championship. LSU looked strong from the start, settling for a 3-0 lead after an impressive goalline stand by the Broncos. Midway through the second quarter, LSU struck on a 55 yard touchdown pass from Jordan Jefferson to Rueben Randall to extend their lead to 10 points. At the end of the first half, once again inside the 5 yard line, the Tigers hit the upright on a chipshot field goal and the score remained 10-0 as Limestone Kush took the field for the halftime show.

Boise took the ball first in the second and wasted no time getting on the board, knocking home a 37 yard field goal to cut the deficit to 10-3. After a Jefferson interception, Boise added another field goal to inch closer, 10-6. Midway through the 4th quarter LSU put together an impressive march which once again stalled inside the Boise 10 yard line, leading to another field goal and a 13-6 lead. Kellen Moore then went to work with his season and career on the line, leading Boise State down the field for a tying touchdown with 1:30 left. Many LSU fans feared Petersen would roll the dice and go for two but he opted to tie the game at 13. With 1:30 left and full compliment of timeouts, LSU started their drive from the Boise 15 after a questionable holding penalty and pounded the ball on the ground with 4 carries getting the Tigers to midfield. While still in hurry-up mode, Jefferson threw yet another impressive deep ball, connecting with Russell Shepherd on a 49 yard touchdown strike to regain the lead 20-13 with 35 seconds left. Boise took over deep in their own territory and their championship hopes quickly faded as Moore was picked off and LSU took over. After two running plays, game MVP Jordan Jefferson took a knee and LSU was crowned the champions of the greatest Lindgren Cup compeitition of the 21st Century.

BEATDOWN IN BOISE

Chris Petersen had his Broncos ready to go in semifinal 2 of Lindgren Cup 4, taking care of the previously hot Georgia Bulldogs, 28-9. After falling behind 3-0 in the second quarter, Kellen Moore began to heat up and lead Boise down the field for an impressive seven play touchdown drive which gave the Broncos the lead for good, 7-3. After another Boise touchdown early in quarter three, Georiga responded with a quick strike to pull within 14-9 after a failed two point conversion. On the next series, Moore threw an interception near midfield and Georgia looked to be in prime position for the upset bid. However on their first play after the turnover, Aaron Murray was hit and fumbled in what proved to be the turning point. Boise quickly scored on another Moore touchdown throw and when things were all said and done, Georiga had six turnovers and the boys in blue had a 28-9 win. Up next is the finals in what has surely been the greatest Lindgren Cup competition of them all. #1 seeded LSU will host #4 Boise State. Through 3 rounds and 14 games, Adam has scored 257 points, Dan has tallied 255. Each player has won 7 games. The finals line has opened at LSU -5.5

LSU TO THE FINALS!

In the first semifinal of Lindgren Cup 4, the LSU Tigers steamrolled the West Virginia Mountaineers, 28-7 in Baton Rouge. The 10th seeded Mountainers and top seeded Tigers spent the better half of the first two quarters felling each other out as the teams exchanged a series of punts. Finally LSU broke through late in quarter two on a short Jordan Jefferson touchdown pass. LSU took the 7-0 advantage into the locker room.

In the first two rounds of Lindgren Cup 4 West Virginia proved to be a strong second half team and things looked to be lining up once again as the Mountaineers tied it up early in quarter 3 with a quick 4 play touchdown drive. However this would prove to be the last sniff of success for the West Virginia offense as LSU exploded when senior tight end Deangelo Peterson rumbled for a 79 yard touchdown catch which was quickly followed by another beautiful Jefferson touchdown toss, widening the gap to 21-7. LSU would add one more late in the 4th quarter as the clock struck midnight for Geno Smith and the upstart Mountaineers. Peterson took home game MVP honors with 2 catches for 90 yards and 2 touchdowns. LSU has now outscored its' opponents in the last 10 quarters 84-14 and will face the winner of tomorrows Georgia/Boise St. tilt.

LINDGREN CUP ROUND 2

The temperature has reached the boiling point in the just concluded round 2 of Lindgren Cup 4. We're down to our Fantastic Four and all bets are now off after a pair of stunning upsets.

#1 LSU (Adam) vs #8 Michigan (Dan)-The red zone issues for Brady Hoke continued as the Wolverines fell behind early, tried to fight back but blew numerous chances inside the 10 yard line, ultimately failing to dent the scoreboard and falling 21-0. Jordan Jeffeson was solid once again as the Tigers have now outscored their opponents in the past 6 quarters 56-7.

#4 Boise (Dan) vs #5 USC (Adam)-The smurf turf once again proved difficult for the visitors as Matt Barkely struggled early before being knocked out of the game for good in the second quarter. USC did jump out to an early 3-0 lead and was deep in Boise territory before Barkely was intercepted and trampled on the return for a touchdown. Boise breezed from there, adding a safety and winning easily, 25-6.

#3 Stanford (Dan) vs #11 Georgia (Adam)-The lingering effects of Stanford's escape vs SDSU in round 1 appeared to have been a thing of the past as the Cardinal went into half up 10-6. The second half however was a different story as the pesky Bulldogs pounded the ball on the ground and used Aaron Murray in a game management roll. Georgia went up 20-10 late in the 4th when Andrew Luck lead Stanford down the field for a touchdown in what would prove to be the last drive of his college career. Georgia recoved the onside kick and advanced, 20-17.

#2 Oklahoma State (Adam) vs #10 West Virginia (Adam)-Early on it looked as though the Cowboys would roll once again, jumping out to a 1st half 14-0 lead behind Justin Blackmon. West Virginia answered late in the 1st half with a nice touchdown drive to close the gap to 14-7. The second half kickoff was returned for a touchdown and all of a sudden the game was tied at 14. Turnovers and stalled drives were the story until late in the 4th quarter when Oklahoma State kicker Quinn Sharp missed a chip shot for 29 yards to keep West Virginia alive. After a Mountaineer 3 and out, Oklahoma State got another shot at the victory when with 3 seconds left when they moved down to the West Virginia 33 yard line. Sharp once again pushed the kick right sending the game into overtime, 14-14. Oklahoma State had the ball first in overtime and after a Weeden interception, West Virginia kicked the winning field goal to move on to the next round, 17-14. It should be noted that after the game, Mike Gundy yanked Sharp's scholarship and sent him to Broken Arrow, OK to go work on once of Boone Pickens' oil rigs for the rest of his meaningless life.

Points scored in round 2-Adam: 61; Dan: 59
Points scored in the tournament- Adam 220; Dan 220

Fantastic Four matchups and lines:
#4 Boise State vs #11 Georgia-\:Boise -9

NFL SUNDAY

After another stellar weekend we look forward to Sunday and a trio of very attractive underdogs. We'll take the Skins knowing that 20 of the last 24 home dogs of 8 points or more have covered and that the Skins haven't given up 300 yards passing in a game all year. 95% of the public money is on New England so all signs point towards a Skins cover. The Tebow love has gone too far and points will be hard to come by in Denver this week therefore there is too much value to pass on the 3.5 given to Chicago. The 49ers are due for a slip-up as they take on a red hot Cardinals team. Good luck!

WASHINGTON REDSKINS +8 VS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

CHICAGO BEARS +3.5 AT DENVER BROCNOS

ARIZONA CARDINALS +3.5 VS SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

LINDGREN CUP 4

Lindgren Cup 4 (Adam vs Dan) kicked off in late November with an all new 16 team bracket format. The Lindgren Cup was spawned in 2009 after a series of online PS3 hockey duals. The hatred carried over into NCAA Football and orgininally the gridiron competition was named after known college degenerate, Coach K. However after Coach K failed to pay his bills, the football battles were also named after Matt Lindgren, who dispises hockey and knows very little about football. The title and traveling trophy previously has been awarded to the winner of a best of 7 series (different teams make up each game). Adam currently has 2 Lindgren Cup, titles included a stunning win in Lindgren Cup 3, coming from behind to overcome a 3-0 defecit. After each player drafted 8 teams, Lindgren Cup 4 was set to kickoff.

#1 LSU(A) vs #16 BYU (D)-Cinderalla appeared to have shown up for the dance as the Cougars went into half up 21-7. However 40+ yard TDs on 3 straight plays proved too much as LSU escaped with a 42-28 win.

#8 Michigan(D) vs #9 Arizona State (A)-Michigan jumped out early and again took a 21-7 lead to the locker room however the Sun Devils mounted a late rally, recovering an onside kick but still falling in the end, 28-21.

#5 USC (A) vs #12 Texas (D)-In what can only be described an ugly offensive display (both teams had defensive touchdowns), Matt Barkley prevailed over the 3 headed monster behind center for Texas, 17-7.

#4 Boise State (D) vs #13 Houston (A)-The sirens were sounding early as Case Keenam led the Houston offense downfield for a quick touchdown to go up 7-0 however Kellen Moore had the answer all day leading Boise State to a 21-16 win.

#2 Stanford (D) vs #15 San Diego State (A)-In what was clearly the most entertaining and pressure packed game of the first round, Andrew Luck evoked memories of John Elway leading the Cardinal on a last minute, game winning drive to survive a serious scare, 21-16. The Aztecs did file a formal protest after several questionable calls went against them courtesy of a putrid Pac-10 officating crew.

#7 Clemson (A) vs #10 West Virginia (D)-The Mountaineers dominated from the get go as Clemson shot itself in the foot with 3 turnovers and 5 holding penalties. West Virginia looks like a serious dark horse after their 38-21 victory.

#6 Penn State (D) vs #11 Georiga (A)-The biggest upset in round 1 occurred in Happy Valley in a heated matchup where tempers flared and the GFY’s started to fly. Penn State scored early however missed the extra point which would prove costly. After missing two field goals and numerous other opportunities to put the game away, the Georgia offense finally woke up putting together a stunning 88 yard drive for the victory, 7-6.

#3 Oklahoma State (A) vs #14 Kansas State (D)-The Wildcats did their best to double team Justin Blackmon however in the end they were exposed as the talent gap was just too wide for them to overcome as the Cowboys held on 21-14 after jumping out to an early 21-0 lead thanks to a last minute goal line stand.

Total points scored in round 1: Dan- 161 Adam-159

Round 2 Matchups and Lines:
#1 LSU (A) vs #8 Michigan (D): LSU -7.5
#4 Boise State (D) vs #5 USC (A): Boise -3.5
