NFL and NBA Updates

Top Five Game Changing Players for Championship Weekend
5. Antonio Cromartie - Playing opposite Darrelle Revis creates a lot of opportunities to make plays, the problem is that he gambles and is susceptible to getting burnt deep. Regardless, a pick-six could propel the Jets to victory.
4. Charles Tillman - He will be tested all game by Jennings and Rodgers. He is the Bears best cover man and will have to come up big for the Bears to stop Green Bay's aerial assault. If he can shut down Jennings then the rest of the secondary can generate turnovers.
3. Erik Walden - This little known Green Bay LB had 16 tackles and 2 sacks in Week 17 vs the Bears. The Bears should be ready for him this game. If he creates pressure then it will be a long disastrous day for Cutler.
2. Emmanuel Sanders - He had 7 grabs for 78 yards last meeting vs NYJ in week 15 and had 4 for 54 yds last Saturday. He has become a favorite target of Big Ben and has the ability to burn the Jets secondary if they focus too much on Wallace.
1. Devin Hester - Ok, we all know how good the former Hurricane DB is at the return game. The weather conditions will be wicked and one big return by Hester on a low punt would put Chicago in control of this game. Hester can make any touch a game changer.
NFL Injuries - Questionable-NYJ Brad Smith WR/Ret., CHI Chris Harris S, NYJ Jason Taylor DE. Out-Pitt Aaron Smith DE

NBA Today
1. Clippers at Trail Blazers (-3.5) Over/Under 194.--This game will be high scoring with both teams playing in the second game of a back-to-back. The Clips play no defense and will push the ball for Blake Griffin. Take the Over 194!!! 
2. Beware of the Bulls (-3.5) without Boozer, they are thin up front but playing well and are 18-4 at home. Dirk Nowitzki is still rusty after his recent return from injury, but the Mavs beat the Lakers 109-100 last night at home.
3. Philly has been playing decent, but it will not be easy at Charlotte (-5). Philly is 5-17 on the road this year.
