NCAA Championship Game - Clash of Two Heavyweight Programs

 The crowning of the NCAA Mens Basketball Championship Game is finally here. Tonight, Two #1 seeds will square off against each other. The #1 seed UConn Huskies are looking to repeat as National Champions host the #1 Purdue Boilermakers in the Title game to decide once and for all who is the best basketball team this season in Collegiate Basketball. Both teams have very experienced and Tournament tested Coaches who will make sure their Teams are fully prepared for this game. These 2 teams have risen to National prominence over the years and are two of the top basketball programs in the Country. Its been a crazy season and it all comes down to tonight!  Hey CBS, I see that once again you have chosen to put the Championship Game back on the TBS this year. Hopefully CBS will put the Elite Eight, Final Four and Championship Game on CBS every year going forward. Thank you for all who followed once again as Joey had another magical and exciting Bracket. Joey was 2-0 in the Final Four and 56-6 through the NCAA Tournament and He had 3 out of the 4 Teams picked in Final Four and had both UConn and Purdue in the Championship Game..  www.CupofJoeintheD.blogspot.com  twitter: @CupofJoeintheD2  email: CupofJoeintheD@gmail.com

NFL Super Bowl LVIII is Here.. My Pick and Thoughts

      The NFL Super Bowl LVIII is finally Here.  The NFC and AFC Championship Games lived up to their billings as the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs came out the Victors. This will be a rematch of Super Bowl LIV from 2020. 

     Super Bowl LVIII will be played in Las Vegas this Sunday, February 11, 2024. The Chiefs behind QB Mahomes look to repeat as Super Bowl Champions while the 49ers behind QB Brock Purdy look to win for the first time in over a Decade. Both teams had to win very tough hard games to get to the Super Bowl. Congrats to the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens for making it to the Championship Games and look forward to seeing them both in next years Playoffs contending for Super Bowl LIX.

     The NFL Head Coaching Carousel is finally over and yet to the surprise of many Bill Belichick and Pete Carrol and Mike Vrabel are sit on the Sidelines going into the 2024 Season. 

     Next up for the NFL will be the 2024 NFL Draft that will be in my hometown and great City of Detroit, Michigan. Hope to see Everyone there..

     This is going to be the most watched Super Bowl and Sporting Event ever and there is no doubt that Taylor Swift is the big reason for this,

    Cooper also says to watch the 20th Year of the Puppy Bowl and to make sure your Dogs and Cats at Spayed and Neutered..

   

Here are NFL Super Bowl LVIII Sunday Questions:

 

•  Is this Super Bowl going to be a Shootout or a Defensive Battle?
  
• Will Mahomes and the Chiefs repeat as Super Bowl Champs?
• Who besides TE Travis Kelce will step up for the Chiefs? 
• How many times will CBS Show Taylor Swift in the Chiefs Suite?
  
• Will another DUI of Patrick Mahomes Sr become a Huge Distraction for the Chiefs?
  
• Is the Kansas City Defense stout enough to stop the 49ers Run and Pass offense?
  
• Can the 49ers win the Super Bowl behind QB Brock Purdy?
• Will Christian McCaffrey single handedly beat the Chiefs?
• Is this the Day the Vaulted 49ers Defense finally show up or will they wilt again?
  
• Congrats to Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and Browns DE Myles Garrett on being this years MVP?
• When will Jerry Jones hire a real GM to run the Cowboys?
  
• Is Jim Harbaugh the answer for the Chargers?
• Which NFL Teams will be in total rebuild mode in 2024?
• Who will be the Top NFL Free Agent to change Teams in 2024? NYG Saquon Barkley?
  
• Congrats to the Detroit Lions for being the new Americas Football Team?
• Does any other HC have the gumption that Dan Campbell has Coaching in the NFL?
  
• Has Ford Field in Detroit become the Loudest Stadium in the NFL?
• With the NFL now playing a game in Brazil next season, which Country in next Japan?

NFL Championship Games Weekend Picks by Cooper the Analyst and Cup of Joe in the D...

       The NFL Championship Games Sunday is Here. The 2023 NFL Divisional Round is over and the games didn't disappoint as 3 out of the 4 games were decided in the last couple of minutes. We are now down to the final 4 Teams to decide who plays in the this years Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on February 11, 2024. In the NFC Championship Game we have Americas Team, the Detroit Lions visiting the SF 49ers and in the AFC Championship Game we have the Defending Super Bowl Champs, KC Chiefs visiting the Baltimore Ravens.

     The NFL continues to screw over its Fans by putting Playoff game on Peacock just so the greedy Owners can make more money at the expense of the Fans! Also, the Officiating which has been very questionable at best all season long will be heavily scrutinized and hopefully won't be the reason one team loses a Playoff game. 

    The NFL Championship Games should be fun to watch with the 49ers hosting the Lions. The Lions won their first 2 Playoff games and are riding high going in this game while the 49ers took down the Packers and are 7 point favorites to win this game. In the AFC Game we have the Chiefs led by QB Mahomes versus the Ravens led by Potential MVP QB Lamar Jackson. Weather doesn't look like a factor in either game and both games figure to be high scoring affairs.

Here are NFL Championship Sunday Questions:

• Will the Lions behind QB Goff advance to the their first Super Bowl appearance?
  
• Can the 49ers get back to the Super Bowl behind QB Brock Purdy?
  
• Is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson this years MVP?
• Who will lead their Team to the Super Bowl? Chiefs Mahomes or Ravens Jackson?
  
• Is Purdy the answer to 49ers Playoff hopes?
• Will either of the underdogs, the Lions or Chiefs win on the road today?
  
• Will the Officials continues to mess up and cost another NFL Team a win?
• With more of the open HC jobs already filled, what is next for Belichick & Vrabel & Carrol?
  
• When will Jerry Jones hire a real GM to run the Cowboys?
  
• Is Jim Harbaugh the answer for the Chargers?
  
• Is Justin Fields the Franchise QB in Chicago?
• Are the Lions the new Americas Football Team?
• Does any other HC have the gumption that Dan Campbell has Coaching in the NFL?

NFL Divisional Round Weekend Picks by Cooper the Analyst and Cup of Joe in the D...

       The NFL Divisional Round is Here. The 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend is over and the games didn't disappoint. There were a couple of blowouts but also a huge upset as the Packers went into Dallas and spanked the Cowboys and also the Lions won their first playoff game in over 30 years. Both the Bills and the Chiefs won easily and it sets up a rematch between the 2 teams but this time it is in Buffalo in a game that weather is going to be a factor.

     The NFL continues to screw over its Fans by putting Playoff game on Peacock just so the greedy Owners can make more money at the expense of the Fans! Also the Officiating which has been very questionable at best all season long will be heavily scrutinized and hopefully won't be the reason one team loses a Playoff game. 

    The Divisional Games should be fun to watch with the Lions hosting the Buccaneers in a rematch of these same 2 teams earlier this year. Also the well rested 49ers host the surprising Packers as are the Ravens who face the up and coming Texans. The game will showcase the Chiefs who are playing their first road Playoff game in the Mahomes era as they face the Bills in snowy and cold Buffalo.

  

Here are Divisional Round Weekend Questions:

• Will the Lions behind QB Goff advance to the NFL Championship Game?
• Can Mayfield lead the Bucs to a road victory in Detroit?
• Will CJ Stroud and the Texans beat the Ravens in Baltimore?
• Is Purdy the answer to 49ers Playoff hopes?
• How big of a factor will the weather be in Buffalo on Sunday?
• Can Mahomes and the Chiefs pull it together and make another Super Bowl run?
• Will Josh Allen and the Bills overcome the frigid temps in Buffalo and beat the Chiefs?
• Can Jordan Love and the Packers upset the NFC #1 seed 49ers in SF?
• Which Josh Allen will show up on Sunday for the Bills?
• Can the #1 seeds Ravens and 49ers Super Bowl?
  
• Will the Officials continues to mess up and cost another NFL Team a win?
• Is Lamar Jackson the NFL MVP?
  
• Who could of expected that Belichick, Carrol, Vrabel would all be done?
• Will the Eagles and Cowboys start the rebuilding process in the off season?
