America's new villain.....is a Canadian!




















Really, did you think the Top would let you down on the day before the NFL championships?

Not hardly, we're no Jon Gruden after all.  In fact, we're stepping right up to the plate, just like Tiger Woods, who recently accepted an invitation to speak at Barack's inauguration. 

Enthusiastically, we might add:

"I think that he's really inspired a bunch of people in our country, and we'll see what happens down the road," Woods said at the time.

Spoken like a true Buick-sponsored Republican!  We guess it's not enough to be married to a hot Swedish twin.

On the list of people we're already sick of is new American hero, Chelsey B. Sullenberger III., the US Air pilot who saved the lives of 150 innocent rednecks and 5 disgruntled crew members by landing his plane in the Hudson river after hitting two geese.

"Sully" who also conveniently happens to own a company specializing in safety and risk management negotiated a perfect landing, certain to resurrect a stock portfolio that must be struggling.  Risky PR, we think, but certainly a lot more powerful than JUST MISSING THE BIRDS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

$50 says he is mentioned at the inauguration!

All of this is puzzling the Top, just as is the disrespect being given the Cardinals and the Ravens. Oh, wait, they're America's new villains--THE BIRD!

Arizona +4, O/U 48.5, in Arizona

Beat darlings Atlanta, fly to Carolina (after not having won an East coast game all year) and beat the multi-weaponed Panthers, then return home to a rabid fan base against a perennially disappointing Philadelphia Eagles, and you're underdogs?  Huh? Last time we checked, Mr. Warner had a ring?  With Boldin healthy, the Edge showing mid 20's form and the defense playing well, we love the redbirds here.

Arizona and take the points.  hell, play them Money Line!

Pittsburgh -6 at Pittsburgh, O/U 34.5

Steer clear here....Pittsburgh erupted last week against the Chargers under similar weather conditions and Big Ben will have none of the jitters Mr. Flacco is certain to display.  Both teams will look to their defenses to get this done and both defenses are hurting.

We like the over unless it is pouring snow.  We don't think we'd touch the spread.

So there you have it.  We'll be back tomorrow, we thinks.

Until then, Happy Hunting and 

Go Stuff!
