World Series Prediction
3 Keys to the series:
1) Which starting rotation will be able to slow down these high-octane offenses?
2) Which bullpen will be more consistent?
3) Can the Cardinals stop Nelson Cruz?- (I think not.)
ANALYSIS
This series will feature two of the best hitters in the game: Albert Pujols and Nelson Cruz. Expect these games to be high scoring, which calls for some exciting baseball! Carpenter and Pujols will certainly do their part, but the Cardinals line-up will not score enough runs to keep up with the Rangers.
PREDICTION:
RANGERS over Cardinals in 6 games.

Titans Overview Heading into Week 4
Heading into week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, the Titans sport a 2-1 record, with victories versus the Ravens and Broncos, and a week 1 loss to the Jaguars. Matt Hasselbeck, our veteran quarterback, has played tremendously and was a great offseason pickup. He has already thrown for 932 yards and 5 TD's, and has shown leadership on the field.
Chris Johnson has done close to nothing. Here are his stats through 3 games: 46 carries, 98 yards, no TD's. Not exactly worth the 53.5 million dollars we payed him. And it's not the offensive line's fault, nor is it because of a lack of a passing game; it's all on him. The lockout clearly hurt him, BAD. Yet Johnson is an all-world talent: He will get back on track, maybe as soon as this week vs the Browns.
A huge blow to our team was Kenny Britt being put on the IR with a torn ACL and MCL. Britt lead the AFC in receiving before the injury, and was going on to having a monster season.
Finally, on to the defense. The Titans' defense is the number 1 ranked D in the entire league, averaging barely 261 yards per game. Akeem Ayers has played well as a rookie, and Barret Ruud, our free-agent pickup, has been stellar at MLB. Finally, our secondary has been fantastic. Names like Finnegan, Griffin, and the up-and-coming Jason McCourty have all but shut down opponent's passing games.
For this week, I expect the Titans to win on the road against the Browns, 17-14. The key to the game is stopping Peyton Hillis. It;s simple: If we stop Hillis, we win the game. As for CJ2K, expect an improvement this game, but not the electrifying superstar like we had last year...not YET.
