The key to Arizona winning Super Bowl XLIII is the emergence of Edgerrin James in the playoffs. The future Hall of Famer has regained his starting position and has looked the the old “Edge” from his hay days in Indianapolis.

The fire burns in James to get that elusive Super Bowl ring he longs for. He left the Colts as a free agent to sign with the Cardinals and the following year, Indianapolis won the Super Bowl. The Colts in a fittingly gesture, presented James with a Super Bowl ring. A class act on the part of the Colts.

If Arizona can amount any sort of running game against the Steelers, it’s going to be lights out for Pittsburgh. An effective running game will open up the Cardinals explosive passing attack. Look for Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, and Steve Breaston to have huge game as game MVP, Kurt Warner, delivers strike after strike against the vaunted Steel Curtain.

This might have been one of the easiest picks in the history of NFC Championship play. The Cardinals have to much firepower to be stopped. Larry Fitzgerald has ascended to the top of the NFL as the premiere receiver in the game and Kurt Warner once again proved that age has not slowed him down.

Edgerrin James looked like the Hall of Famer he is again, and I am happy that the one-time Colts’ stud running back is finally going to get a taste of the Superbowl.

Hats off to Andy Reid’s squad for a superb effort today but it is the Cardinals moving onto SuperBowl XLIII in Tampa Bay.

The AFC Championship game had all the makings of a defensive battle. Two of the top defenses battled it out with a trip to Super Bowl XLIII on the line.

The wild card in this game was the starting quarterbacks.

As good as year as Joe Flacco had with the Ravens, Ben Roethlisberger has playoff experience under his belt to go along with a Super Bowl ring.

Look for the Steelers to throw the house at Flacco and pressure the rookie quarterback into making quick decisions with the ball.

The Steel Curtain is the difference as Pittsburgh will be headed to Tampa Bay to face the Cardinals for the World Championship.

5 Star Picks of the Week: Arizona (+3.5) vs Philadelphia and Pittsburgh (-6) vs Baltimore.

This game might not have only been the Thursday night December Lock of the Year, it might have been the 2008 Lock of the Year.

The winning ways continue Sunday as some of the teams have packed it in for the season while other teams are playing for their playoff lives. This is the time of the year you take potential playoff teams over teams that has been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

The only exception to this rule is that I do believe that the Detroit Lions will win one, possibly two games this year. Avoid betting on the Lions the rest of the year except if they are 0-15 heading into the season finale at Lambeau Field against the Packers.

Thursday NFL Lock of the Year for December: San Diego (-9) vs Oakland.

5 Star Pick of the Week: Indianapolis (-13.5) vs Cincinnati.

4 Star Picks of the Week: Chicago (-6.5) vs Jacksonville, Tennessee (-13) vs Cleveland, and Arizona (-13.5) vs St. Louis.

Rest of the Week: Baltimore (-5) vs Washington, New Orleans (-3) vs Atlanta, Philadelphia (+7.5) vs NY Giants, Detroit (+10) vs Minnesota, Green Bay (-6) vs Houston, Denver (-9) vs Kansas City, Buffalo (-1) vs Miami, NY Jets (-3.5) vs San Francisco, Pittsburgh (-3) vs Dallas, New England (-6.5) vs Seattle, Carolina (-3) vs Tampa Bay.  

Week 13 Record: 11-5.

HC has rattled of a 54-20 record over that span for a winning percentage of just under 73%.

HC and his friends have made so much extra doe that they have decided to get a team together and fly out to Las Vegas for the 2009 USBC Open Championships.

The entire trip is paid for courtesy of my free picks.

I will be releasing my 3-team parlay for tomorrow Thanksgiving Day games. I guarantee this parlay will hit and make a lot of people who wager on the picks, very happy.

Do not turn to any other phony website and pay top $$$$, when Hookscenter gives you the picks for free.

2008 Turkey Day Lock of the Year #1: Dallas (-12) vs Seattle.

2008 Turkey Day Lock of the Year #2: Philadelphia (-3) vs Arizona.

2008 Turkey Day Lock of the Year #3: Detroit (+11.5) vs Tennessee.

Hookscenter looks to continue his winning ways today as he collected two wins on Turkey Day. The three-game sweep was my fault, but I expected that the Lions would play a great game on Turkey Day, and possibly upset the Titans. Instead the Lions played like a team that will end up 0-16 this season.

5 Star Pick of the Week: Buffalo (-6.5) vs San Francisco.

4 Star Picks of the Week: Green Bay (-3) vs Carolina, Atlanta (+5) @ San Diego, and New England (-1) vs Pittsburgh.

Rest of the Week: Denver (+8) @ NY Jets, St. Louis (+7.5) vs Miami, NY Giants (-4) @ Washington, Tampa Bay (-4) vs New Orleans, Cleveland (+5.5) vs Indianapolis, Baltimore (-7) @ Cincinnati, Oakland (-3) vs Kansas City, Minnesota (-3.5) vs Chicago, and Jacksonville (+3) @ Houston.

Week 13 Record: 9-7.
