PREDICTIONS NBA SEASON OPENER

Tomorrow night begins the first night of the NBA regular season, the quest for the 2013-2014 NBA title will be under way. The most anticipated match-up tomorrow evening will be the MIAMI HEAT vs CHICAGO BULLS. This match-up is a rematch of the NBA Eastern Conference finals in 2012 when the heat would go on to win the series. In 2012 Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose would be the 2012 MVP recipient. This past off season the Miami heat added some new pieces to there champion caliber team with Michael Beasley becoming a Heat this past off season. The Heat faced a lot of heat from the media after acquiring Beasley. A lot of people wondered "is this possible". The heat this past preseason have put up a decent preseason record of 5-3. The Chicago bulls coming into this past off season faced a lot of heat as well, after their starting guard Derrick Rose would miss the entire 2012-2013 season to a tore ACL. The bulls, much as the heat faced a lot of heat from the media as well as questioning Derrick Rose's reasons for not playing the entire 2012-2013. The bulls played a solid pre season as well with a record of 5-0. I believe based on the heats new additions to the roster and the time off the heat players have had, I believe they will be even more better this year then last season because of the playoffs and because of the Olympic summer games and the extra practices that they had to dill with last season. I also believe that based on what the bulls did last season with out there MVP player, Derrick Rose, speaks volumes as what talent they have on there roster as well. With the lost of guard Nate Robinson, they will probably be hurting later on in the season, but based on this first match-up and the time the Miami heat have had off to take a break and to relax, could help them spring forward and get their third in a row title. I believe the Miami heat will take the win tomorrow night against the bulls, although the bulls will probably be the number two seed in the Eastern Conference by the time of the playoffs. I believe the game will be close. This heat team has entirely to much talent for them not to win the Eastern Conference and for them not to win this game. Tomorrow night should be a show case as these two teams go head to head, in there first meeting of the season for the quest of the 2013-2014 NBA title.

NBA PRESEASON / SEASON OPENER

The NBA season begins Tuesday and there are a lot of  much anticipated match-ups. The first game of the season will take place on Tuesday October 29th between the MIAMI HEAT  and CHICAGO BULLS. The heat are coming into this season,  off of their second straight NBA title. (3 rd title over all for the heat organization) The Heat have had a very productive 2013 NBA pre season as well, thus far going 4-2. This match-up between the Bulls is going to bring back great memories of the 2012 NBA Eastern Conference Finals  and the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals, where Bulls guard Derrick Rose put the heat up to the test. When the Bulls first faced the heat in 2011 the Chicago Bulls guard caught a lot of attention as he and his team gave the heat stiff competition making the series very competitive.  The bulls guard tore his ACL in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals as the Bulls would go down to the heat and wouldn't advance to the NBA finals. The bulls are coming into this game having a very surprising season last year. Much anticipated, Derrick Rose was expected to be back with his team by the NBA play offs last season, but everyone was shocked when they didn't see the Bulls guard out on the court to start the playoffs. The bulls would put up a fight and would advance past the Brooklyn Nets to the second round of the play offs with out there number one player and various starters going out to injuries as well during this time. The bulls would put up a fight in the second round of the Playoffs but because of the lack of depth on their team, they would lose out to the Miami heat. These two teams have had a lot of history in the past few years, but who will rise to the occasion to start the 2013 NBA season?

NFL Prediction

Tommrow officially starts the beginning of the NFL season, with the first regular season game being played between the BALTIMORE RAVENS vs DENVER BRONCOS. The broncos are coming into this game ready to get revenge against the Ravens, after losing the division round game of the playoffs to the ravens. The Broncos are coming into this game off of a 11 game winning streak, after it was broken last season when they lost to the Ravens. Key players in this match-up are Baltimore Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones, who played a big role in the last game the team played in the playoffs. Broncos safety Rahim Moore lost sight of the Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones last time the teams played and Ravens Quarterback Joe Flacco connected with Jones to get a 70 yard touch down. Moore had comments on this years matchup against the Ravens this season. "But the good thing about it is it's a whole new year. Nobody remembers what you did last year." Based on the out come of the last game, the Broncos are going to come out more powerful. This offseason the Broncos have added some very important offensive weapons to there line up such as receiver Wes Welker. The Broncos will come out very strong and ready to get revenge. The Ravens have had there troubles this season with there defense . Ray Lewis retired after the super bowl last year and Ed Reed signed with the Texans this offseason, so there will be a lot of new faces for the Baltimore franchise. I believe the Broncos will take it 32:14, because of the high powered Broncos offense . I also believe that even though the ravens have new faces on there defense Peyton Manning might be to much for them.
