New Years Eve Armed Forces Parlay – Navy vs. Missouri and Air Force vs. Houston
Special New Years Eve Military Parlay
Two of the five 2009 New Year’s Eve bowl games feature teams representing the US Armed Forces. In the Armed Forces Bowl, the Air Force Falcons play the Houston Cougars in Fort Worth Texas and in Houston, the Navy Midshipmen take on the Missouri Tigers in the Texas Bowl.
Both Air Force and Navy are underdogs in their Bowl games but I’m feeling a little patriotic, so I’m going to place a two-team parlay at the BetUS.com sportsbook.
OK, I said I was feeling patriotic but maybe patriotic wasn’t the right word to use because I’m betting against both of the military teams in their New Year’s Eve bowl games.

AFC Playoff Picture – Jets and Ravens Control their Destiny
The NFL playoffs are right around the corner, but there is still some things to be decided this Sunday.
There are a couple of things that we know for sure in the AFC. First, the Indianapolis Colts have home field advantage. Second, the San Diego Chargers are the 2nd seed in the AFC Playoffs. Third, both the Chargers and the Colts figure to rest their starters this Sunday. Fourth, the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots are the 3rd and 4th seeds or 4th and 3rd seeds in the playoffs.
The two wildcards are up for grabs in the AFC. Let’s take a look at everything going on in the AFC right now.
AFC Playoff Picture
1st Seed: Indianapolis Colts
2nd Seed: San Diego Chargers
3rd Seed: New England or Cincinnati
4th Seed: New England or Cincinnati
Wildcard Seeds:
Okay, this is a mess. The team that controls their destiny is the New York Jets. Yes, coach Caldwell for the Colts kept the dream alive for Rex Ryan and the Jets by benching Peyton Manning in the second half of the Colts loss to the Jets.
Stupid move Caldwell because the Jets are a good team and now can beat the Bengals at home and get into the playoffs where they would play either the Bengals again or the Patriots. The Jets can beat either team. Then, they could find themselves taking on the Colts in the second round. Uh…did you and no-fun G.M.
