2012 NFL Season – 49ers vs Cardinals Predictions
There’s only one win separating these division rivals, but the current momentum and the overall talent disparity on both sides of the ball makes this one almost impossible to win for the Arizona Cardinals, while all the usual advantages the San Francisco 49ers have should be enough to pull them through another game that could turn into a slug-fest.

Lionel Messi – Just Breaking Another Goal Scoring Record
Sometimes, I don’t really understand how the Ballon d’Or for 2012 is even a question. Lionel Messi has won it three times in the past, and should win a fourth. When you’re about to break the record for goals in a calendar year, after already setting records for goals in the league, Champions League and an entire season, there shouldn’t be any debate.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie in his Best Form Ever
This Manchester United side that Alex Ferguson is running with this season is a strange hybrid of atrocious defending, a goalkeeper that defies logic, no midfield play whatsoever, wings that keep on pushing and one Robin van Persie, continuing a two year stretch of being the best goalscorer and player in the Premier League.

Chelsea FC – The Problems Beyond Juan Mata & Eden Hazard

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Great Despite Everything
He doesn’t have a real striking partner, but he’s managing. The referees don’t give him calls even when he’s actually fouled, but he gets by. Luis Suarez, probably the most hated player among non-Liverpool fans in the Premier League, just keeps on doing his thing, letting it all fly over his head and simply scores goals.

Robin van Persie Goals & Referee Mistakes win it for Manchester United at Chelsea
Best match of the Premier League season so far? Probably. Manchester United, lead by a prolific Robin van Persie, enojyed a quick lead and a frantic finish that saw Chelsea left win nine men and their comeback attempts thrashed by a goal from an offside position, giving the Red Devils a 3-2 win.

2012 College Football Season – Week 9 Rankings
A week that didn’t see a change at the top of the rankings (Alabama still perfect and strong) of the AP Poll, but a move up for Oregon, Kansas State, Notre Dame and even the resting LSU, thanks to Georgia ruining Florida’s season, opening up the SEC East.
