How did we finish last year's football seasons? Here's the information PRO INFO SPORTS clients received for the FINAL COLLEGE and NFL GAMES...
7 STAR SELECTION (5% of Bankroll)
TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL
OHIO STATE +12 over MIAMI, FL
The eyes of the college football world will be on Tempe, Arizona on Friday as the top two teams in the country meet in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl for the national championship. The defending national champion and top-ranked Miami Hurricanes posted their second straight flawless regular season to earn a spot in this year's title game. In the process, Larry Coker's team extended the nation's longest win streak to 34 games. The Hurricanes get the opportunity to defend their national crown on the gridiron, but will have the tall task of knocking off the only other team with an unblemished 2002 record in Ohio State. Jim Tressel, also in his second season with his team, guided the Buckeyes to a perfect 2002 regular season as well. The Buckeyes will try to earn the school's first consensus national championship since 1968 and its fifth undisputed national title overall, while the Hurricanes are aiming for their sixth national title and second in a row after defeating Nebraska last year in the Rose Bowl, 37-14.
The Ohio State offense will be one of the more balanced attacks to face Miami's defense all season. The Buckeyes had solid offensive numbers this year, averaging 29 points per game, while moving the chains effectively on the ground and through the air. The real surprise for the OSU offense this season has been the emergence of freshman sensation Maurice Clarett in the backfield. Despite missing time due injuries this season, the 6-0, 230-pound youngster was named a First-Team All-Big Ten selection as well as the conference's Freshman of the Year. His ability to break tackles and gain huge yardage after initial contact, made defenses cheat up on the line of scrimmage, therefor opening up the passing lanes. Junior quarterback Craig Krenzel took full advantage, finishing the year with a sterling 148.07 passer rating, good for 7th in the country.
The Hurricanes have benefited from an explosive offense this season, but that offense could struggle like never before against a VERY stingy Ohio State defense. The stop unit for the Buckeyes was one of the top units in the nation this year, allowing a mere 12 points per game, good for the second best mark in the country. Running the ball against the active Buckeyes is usually a fruitless endeavor, with OSU holding foes to a meager 79 ypg and just 2.7 yards per carry. The pass defense has been less intimidating, allowing 238.5 yards per game, but still gave up just 12 TDs through the air.
The Hurricanes do boast one of the most explosive offenses in the entire country, as the team has put up points on everyone. Averaging 42 points per game in 2002, Miami finished as the third-most potent scoring team in the nation. With a pair of Heisman finalists in both the passing and running games, it is clear that the 'Canes can move the ball on the ground and through the air. The biggest surprise for the Hurricanes this season has been tailback Willis McGahee, who has flourished under the bright lights this season. The sophomore sensation rushed for a school record 1,686 yards and a whopping 27 TDs. While McGahee was wearing teams down with his exploits on the ground, senior quarterback Ken Dorsey picked secondaries apart. Dorsey, the school's all-time winningest quarterback at 38-1, holds the school record for passing yards and TD passes and his 147.98 passer rating was good for eighth nationally.
The Miami defense has long played second-fiddle to the offense, but they are obviously a solid unit. The Hurricanes did allow teams to move the football on the ground but few teams were able to generate a passing game. In all, Miami finished the year ranked first in the nation in pass efficiency defense, eighth in total defense, and 15th in scoring defense. Still, their run defense weakness has to be of concern against Clarett and the Buckeyes.
The feeling here is that Miami is a bit over-rated and Ohio State under-rated. Our CPR (Computerized Points Rating) indicate that Miami is about 1 TD better than the Buckeyes, and we see little here to move us off that number. It is quite clear that the Hurricanes are not nearly as dominant as they were a year ago, and it is rather surprising that no one seems to be concerned with a defense that allowed 45 points at home in their final game. Ohio State's "D" didn't allow 45 points in their final four games COMBINED! Ohio State QB Krenzel seems to be the forgotten man here as the 'Canes signal-caller has garnered most of the quarterback acclaim; however, Krenzel has gone 14-1 SU as a starter, giving him the same number of losses in his career as Ken Dorsey. And while most people wouldn't mention Krenzel and Dorsey in the same sentence when discussing top college QB's, Krenzel's quarterback rating was actually a hair better than his counterpart here. With a healthy Clarett, Ohio State should be able to execute an effective running game, thus allowing them to control the clock and keep Miami's offense off the field. The Ohio State defense should be able to slow down McGahee as no one else has this season. Dorsey will likely be able to make enough plays to pull the win out for Miami, but this will be a very competitive game, and an outright Ohio State win would not surprise us at all.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: MIAMI, FL 24 OHIO STATE 17
ACTUAL FINAL SCORE: OHIO STATE 31 MIAMI, FL 24 (OT) (WINNER!)
NOTE: Had the controversial pass interference call not been made on Miami, FL in OT we would have hit the exact final score.
7 STAR SELECTION
SUPER BOWL XXVII
TAMPA BAY +4 over Oakland
The AFC champion Oakland Raiders will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winners of the NFC, in Super Bowl XXXVII at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday. This game has been dubbed the "Gruden Bowl", as for the first time in Super Bowl history, a team will be facing its former head coach in the season after his departure. While the spotlight is on Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden, current Raiders coach Bill Callahan has quietly gone about the business of preparing his team for the franchise's
first Super Bowl in 19 years.
In his first season as an NFL head coach, Callahan led the Raiders to the AFC West title with an 11-5 mark. Oakland, which had the benefit of home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, earned a 30-10 second-round win over the New York Jets before disposing of the Tennessee Titans, 41-24, a week ago in the AFC Championship Game. Gruden, who led Oakland to a pair of playoff appearances in four years as the team's head coach, guided the Buccaneers to a 12-4 record and the NFC South title in his first season with Tampa Bay. The Bucs' 12 victories tied them for most in the NFL with Philadelphia and Green Bay, and was good enough to get them the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and a first-round bye. Tampa Bay's road to the Super Bowl included a 31-6 Divisional round home victory over San Francisco and last week's 27-10 triumph over the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. The Raiders will be making their fifth Super Bowl appearance on Sunday, as the franchise has won three titles in four chances. Super Bowl XXXVII will be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first since the franchise's 1976 inception into the NFL, when it went 0-14.
This offense-defense matchup, statistically-speaking, is the best we've ever seen in Super Bowl history. The Raiders' offense ranked first in the NFL in total yards per game, while the Buccaneers' defense was the league's best in yards and points against. Rich Gannon, the 2002 NFL MVP, is the trigger-man who makes the entire Oakland offense run effectively. While he's not the strongest quarterback in the league, Gannon is a master of the pump fake. He has Callahan's offense down to a science and also can move very well for a 37-year-old quarterback. Oakland's offense has expanded since Gruden left the team last offseason. Between Callahan and offensive coordinator Marc Trestman, the coaching staff has opened up the passing game more this season. Callahan likes to throw the ball downfield more than Gruden, making the Raiders' offense one of the most dangerous in the league. With Tim Brown, Jerry Rice and Jerry Porter, the Raiders have the offensive weapons to spread defenses thin. RB Charlie Garner and rookie TE Doug Jolley also provide solid options for Gannon.
Look for Tamba Bay defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin to have cornerbacks Ronde Barber and Brian Kelly to play physical against Rice and Brown to slow them down while the D-line gets pressure on Gannon. The Bucs "D" has made a living off sacking the opposing quarterback and forcing turnovers. The Bucs had 43 sacks this season and led the NFL in interceptions. Kiffin does an excellent job of disguising the blitz when he does call it. Oakland will be looking to take a few shots downfield, but that will be tough with the Bucs coming after Gannon hard and fast.
The Raiders have shot themselves in the foot by drawing too many penalties - a staple of past and present Raider teams. Oakland could hurt itself again in this game if false starts and holding calls go against it. In the last two games, the Raiders have been penalized 22 times costing them 197 yards of field position. Holding onto the ball has also been somewhat of a problem for the Raiders, who have coughed it up five times in the last two games.
The Buccaneers don't exactly resemble a Gruden team just yet, especially on offense. Gruden hasn't been given the proper time to add the players needed to transform Tampa Bay's offense into one of the better units in the league; however, the coach has done a phenomenal job with what he's been given to work with this season. His faith in QB Brad Johnson has paid huge dividends. Johnson enjoyed a stellar season under Gruden, setting franchise single-season records with 22 touchdown passes, a 62.3 completion percentage and a 92.9 passer rating.
Oakland's defense finished 11th in the league this season. In the secondary, Raiders CBs Charles Woodson and Tory James will match up well with Bucs WRs Keyshawn Johnson and Keenan McCardell. No. 3 receiver Joe Jurevicius could do some damage, too, as he did last week in Philadelphia. Jurevicius made the play of the game when he took a third-down dump pass and turned it into a 71-yard gain against the Eagles. The Bucs will be hard-pressed to have any consistent success with their running game. Mike Alstott is a bulky halfback who struggles against larger defensive lines. Michael Pittman is more of the kind of running back could hurt the Raiders. Brad Johnson's best shot at moving the chains is by using the short-passing game with his tight ends, Keyshawn Johnson and both Alstott and Pittman. Tampa Bay began the NFC Championship Game with a surprising no-huddle offense. Don't be surprised to see the no-huddle at some point on Sunday. It worked well last week against Philadelphia and helped Tampa Bay develop a good offensive rhythm. One of the biggest keys to the NFC title contest was the play of the Bucs’ offensive line, which had been average at best this season; however, the unit did not allow a sack against a Philadelphia defense that led the NFL in sacks.
We expect this to be a very close game and although the game is in California, Tampa has the advantage of having their opponent's former coach. West coast offense vs. #1 defense? Tampa did not allow the Forty-Niners to score a touchdown! In 2001, the almighty Rams were 16-2 and averaged scoring over 32 points per game. Their only home loss was to the Buccaneers who held them to 17 points. Of course, New England was a 14 point underdog in the Super Bowl to the Rams last year but the defensively superior Patriots won straight-up 20-17 in one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. If it could happen to the Rams #1 offense last year, it could happen to the Raiders this year. Despite last year, history has shown that the bigger the Super Bowl favorite, the more likely they will win and cover. But the line in this game is only 3½-4 points. History has also shown that with a week between the last game and the Super Bowl, instead of a two-week layoff, a closer game usually occurs. The team with the higher ranked defense has covered 18 of the last 24 Super Bowls. Teams that were ranked #1 on defense are 6-1 in the Super Bowl. So, the saying is true, "defense does win championships".
