SEC Championship Game – Missouri vs Auburn Predictions
No one expected Auburn and Missouri to be the teams to reach Atlanta and turn the 2013 SEC championship game into a mini Tiger bowl, but these are the surprising winners of the divisions, and two teams that hope to put on enough of a performance to convince the voters to give them a chance to take a leap in the polls and find themselves playing for the national title and not a lesser BCS bowl game.

Miami Heat – Rebounding a Problem, But Nothing to Panic About
Even though the Miami Heat have been a terrible rebounding team for the last three years, the key to beating them usually hasn’t been by simply winning on the boards.

Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose Being the Barometer Without Even Playing
There seems to be a connection between how the Chicago Bulls do during a season and the optimism coming from Derrick Rose regarding his comeback chances.
