Kansas vs Kansas State: This game is really tempting the take the wildcats because of how well they play against Kansas and how they play above their talent level against big time opponents ( Oklahoma). But for how well Kansas has played of late and how this is a chance to really extend themselves from the rest of the pack. I think KU will pull away late.

Kansas 77 – KState 72

Duke vs Louisville: Louisville may be a kryptonite to duke. Duke is a high powered offense with allen and Ingram, but Louisville is a stingy defense and they play very well on their home court, so they get the win.

66 louisville – 62 Duke

Xavier at georgetown: This is the shot for Georgetown to save their season and can really be a bid stealer from a more deserving team because usually the last thing you see is the thing that will resinate with you and the same will occur with the NCAA. But that is only IF they win this game and I think they pull it off against a slightly overrated but deep xavier team. Georgetown by a layup.

Xavier 76 – Georgetown 78

Miami vs North Carolina: This, in which a week ago was a great resume win, is now a must win to keep up in the ACC which is now Miami’s to lose. I think UNC does win because they are the deeper more talented team.

78 UNC – Miami 73

Oklahoma vs West Virginia: Oklahoma has gone through a little bit of a cold start to February with Kansas and Texas Tech. West Virginia is cruising along as usual with their pressure defense and they will force enough turnovers to win the game.

Oklahoma 70 – West Virginia 74

Let’s break down this game position by position and who has the advantage

quarterback: this isn’t even close….cam newton is on a different level than any other quarterback in the NFL and Peyton manning who is still a genius but has a noodle arm. This is cams year and he will dominate this game. Even though Peyton is all time great, the advantage goes to the panthers.

Running back: this one was pretty easy. The panthers are very good at moving the ball on the ground and the edge will go to Stewart and cam over CJ Anderson and Ronnie Hillman

wide receivers: the Broncos have the more talented, big name guys like Thomas and sanders but the panthers receivers have had better production. Ted ginn, Corey brown, and Devin funchess have all played well but the Broncos have big times names. Draw

tight end: is this a question ? Panthers

offensive line: the biggest weak link to this Broncos team is the o- line with lack of depth. The panthers have protected cam all year so they get the nod.

Dline: Von Miller. Demarcus ware. Derek Wolfe. Malik Jackson. Kawann short and Charles Johnson are great but the Broncos pass rush is unbelievable.

linebackers: the Broncos have great athletes that can run sideline to sideline but luke kuechly and Thomas Davis are pro bowl players and are great athletes.

Secondary: the no fly zone of the Broncos with Harris, talib, Stewart, and ward. Best in the NFL. The panthers secondary is banged up outside of stud Norman.

Game: panthers 27 – Broncos 17: the panthers seemed destined to win and there offensive attack and turnover causing machine defense, the panthers will force turnovers and win by 10.
