Tuesday's Top Ten: Top Duos in sports

10-Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh: No other duo of receivers in the NFL are bigger long ball threats. Plus, they're lots of fun to watch. It's too bad their talents are wasted on a team that has one of the NFL's worst defenses.

9-Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony: Both are among the best scorers in the NBA. What makes them great together is that they do their scoring in different ways.

8-David Wright and Jose Reyes: The left side of the Mets infield is easily the best in all of baseball. They're both great with their bats and both will be MVP candidates for years to come. The scary thing is that they're both under 25.

7-Terrell Owens and Tony Romo: With T.O.'s help, Romo has established himself as one of the leagues best QB's. TO has remained one of the best wideouts in the NFL with the Cowboys. The difference is that he hasn't thrown Romo under a bus like he did to QB's in his previous stops.

6-Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza: One sets them up while the other one knocks them down. Heatley has been among the NHL's top goal scorers the past few seasons while Spezza has been amazing at opening up the ice and finding his talented line-mate.

5-David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez: No other three/four hitters in baseball scare pitchers more. Just ask the Indians and Rockies... And every other team in baseball.

4-Tony Parker and Tim Duncan: Although not the flashiest players these two have showed they have what it takes to work great together at the highest level and win championships.

3-Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin: While Crosby is recognized as the best player in the league, Malkin in steadily becoming one of the flashiest play makers in the NHL. If these two can stay together I see lots of Stanley Cups in Pittsburg's future.

2-Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire: Amare is Nash's go to guy and they always seem to know where each other are at on the court. They play with each other better than any two teamates in the NBA.

1-Tom Brady and Randy Moss: These two have been absolutely unstoppable since teaming up this year. Both are among the smartest in the league at their positions. Brady's poise and fantastic arm are an amazing compliment to Moss's unmatched athleticism.

Also receiving consideration: Shawn Michaels and Marty Janetty, Grimmace and the Hamburglar, and Shawn and Cory from the TV show 'Boy Meets World'.

Forcasting the Future: NFL Style

With the NFL season now past the half way mark it's time to look at what will happen in the second half and in the playoffs. The first half of the season was marked by parody and the second half should be no different. With the exception of a few teams its not an easy call to say who will finish where, but I'm gonna do it anyways.

Here's who will make the playoffs:

AFC
1.Patriots
2.Colts
3.Steelers
4.Titans
5.Chiefs
6.Chargers

The first three teams here are pretty much a given. It's obvious that the Patriots and Colts will continue to roll through their competition, and the Steelers will get the third slot due to their solid play, and because the the poor and inconsistent play from the rest of their division. The bottom three playoff positions are much more difficult to call. The Titans and Chiefs are similar in the way that on paper they don't seem all that special, but they always seem to find a way to win. The Chargers are a tough call. They were a sexy pre-season pick to make the Super Bowl but so far this season they've underachieved big time. They'll manage to play a little bit better in the second half and they'll barely sneak in.

Teams on the brink: Bills and Jaguars

NFC
1.Cowboys
2.Lions
3.Packers
4.Saints
5.Giants
6.Seahawks

The NFC is a little easier to predict. It's just harder to determine where the teams will finish. The Cowboys have been dominant all season long and will easily haul in the number one seed. Although Detroit has been a little inconsistent at times, when they're at their best they look unstoppable. No one could have predicted a start this great by the Pack. They'll continue playing well in the second half, but there's no way they finish 14-2. The Saints are the hottest team in the NFC and it looks like their hot streak will continue especially because of their weak division. After their 0-2 start, the Giants have looked impressive, but it's hard to forget about their collapse down the stretch last season. And the only reason the Seahawks get in is because they're the best team in footballs weakest division.

Teams on the brink:Redskins and Panthers

Who's gonna win it all?

There won't be any major upsets in the playoffs until the NFC Championship game when the Lions upset the Cowboys. And no, it won't be because Tony Romo fumbles the snap on an extra point or because he causes a safety in overtime. It will come down to John Kitna playing a better game.

In the AFC we'll get another treat as the Colts will visit the Patriots. Just like in week nine, it will be a tight one, but the Patriots will once again come out on top.

So the Super Bowl will come down to the team everyone knew would make it and a former laughing stock. This one won't be much of a game though. Final Score: Patriots 42-Lions 17.

That's it. Don't agree with my predictions? Tell me yours then. Enjoy tonight's game!

Video of the Day:Best Goals of All-Time

Wow! It's hard to argue about any of these goals being on the list.

Friday's Fives

This is a new feature I'll be doing every Friday. The top and bottom five sports related things of the week. Let's get it going!

Top Five

1.The hype for Sunday's game between the Patriots and Colts: Most things in sports get over hyped. This is not one of those things. In 88 NFL seasons two teams with records of 7-0 or better have never played. This should be a fun one to watch.
2.The Red Sox win the World Series: Wait a minute. There was a World Series this year? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Even though this years World Series had about as much excitement as a fat guy has going on a diet, the Sox deserve to be acknowledged for their dominating performance.
3.The start of the NBA season: New faces in new places, rookies to get excited about, players demanding trades. You got to love the drama that is the NBA. It should be a fun season.
4.New MLB managers: Joe Torre has moved on to LA, while Joe Girardi will fill his shoes in New York. Both seem like great moves. Wouldn't it be great if these two teams met in the World Series next year?
5.Henrik Lundqvist: In four games the Rangers goalie has allowed only four goals and has two shut outs. He'll have to keep it up if the Rangers offense continues playing poorly.

Bottom Five

5. Montreal's Media: Shame on them for heavily criticizing Canadians captain Saku Koivu for not being able to speak French. Just because he's the teams captain doesn't mean he has to speak the city's official language. That's like saying the captain of the Florida Panthers has to be a mildly racist senior citizen.
4. Opening night of the NBA season: Is it just me or did opening night in the NBA barely even make a glitch on the radar. Opening night of the NFL season is built up for weeks, and it's marketed to be a major event. The NBA should do something similar.
3. The Philadelphia Flyers: Apparently when the Flyers said they were gonna try to 'kill' their competition this season they weren't lying. Add two more incidents this week to the Flyers dirty hit list. And no, it's not a coincidence that the Flyers have been the only team to receive suspensions for illegal hits this year.
2. The NFL game in London: What a poor display of what's suppose to be America's most popular sport to our friends in the UK. A very sloppy game that will go down as one of the worst of the season.
1. A-Rod's announcement: What a bone head. Why couldn't he and his agent wait to announce he'll become a free agent. Doing it during the final game of the World Series showed no respect for the game. A-Rod has about as much class as a high school drop out.

Somewhere in the middle: Apparently Lance Armstrong is dating Ashley Olsen of the Olsen twins. Don't believe me? Check this out- http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20156021,00.html. On one hand you want to give the guy a high five, but when you really think about it, it seems creepy. Either way, Lance is a PLAYA!

Enjoy your weekend, and have fun watching the Colts and Pats!
