Does Serena have a better chance of winning her 23rd Grand Slam title now? Too early to say. Muguruza, Venus, Pliskova and more are still in it.

The no. 1 seed on the men’s side, Andy Murray was also sent packing. He lost to Mischa Zverev in 4 sets, 5-7, 7-5, 2-6, 4-6.

Old veterans and faves Nadal and Federer are still in it though and Federer looks like he is in great shape to win 1 more with Murray and Djokovic out of the way.

The NFL Playoffs kicked off into high gear over the weekend. Suga was 3/3 with predictions and left the Steelers-Chiefs game to go either way.

The Patriots destroyed the Texans 34-16 as expected.

The Falcons defeated a depleted Seahawks team 36-20.

The Steelers upset the Chiefs with a close game ending 18-16.

The game of the weekend undoubtedly went to the Packers and the Cowboys!

The Packers led the entire game building up to a 15-point lead to start the 4th that stretched to an 18-point lead. Cowboys star QB Tony Romo has been out with a back injury, leaving rookie QB Dak Prescott to step up his game. That he did. He was impressive, increasing the pace and helped his team get right back into the game erasing an 18-point deficit. I think his biggest moment was taking matters into his own hands and running the ball to a touchdown.

The game was tied 31-31 with 35s left! But the ball was in the Hail Mary King’s hands, Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers. He didn’t throw a Hail Mary this time but you can never count him out. He created a clutch opportunity throwing the ball 35 yards for a reception by Jared Cook who was sliding out of bounds, ultimately putting them in Field Goal range.

Packers’ experienced Kicker, Mason Crosby was faced with the pressure of kicking a 51-yard FG. The Cowboys called a time out as he kicked it successfully so it did not count and he had to retake the kick. The wait was nail-biting, but Crosby did it! He kicked the game winning 51-yard FG and helped send his team to the NFC Championships upsetting the #1 seed NFC Cowboys team.

The AFC and NFC Championships will be Sunday, February 22. Patriots vs. Steelers and Packers vs. Falcons.

Stay tuned.

Super Bowl 51 is getting Closer! Who are your Winning Picks for this Weekend?

Super Bowl LI is getting closer! Mark your Calendars and get the BBQ grills ready for Sunday February 5th!

Leading up to that another exciting get-together Sunday will be the NFC and AFC Championships on Sunday, January 22.

So who are your picks?

Suga thinks the Patriots (#1 seed AFC division) will head straight to the Super Bowl and would like them to meet the Packers. Patriots should roll over the Texans this weekend.

A Vegas Pro predicted that the Falcons (#2 seed NFC Division) will take it all. Hopefully that prediction doesn’t come through. The Falcons will face the Seahawks who are fading away this year.

The Steelers destroyed the Dolphins but their QB was limping. He claims he is alright now though and has not been seen limping. We will see if they can manage the Chiefs.

It’s time for the Hail Mary King, Aaron Rodgers to get a ring! Did you see how they destroyed the Giants last weekend?! 38-13 was the score. Rodgers came close last year in the NFC Championship vs. the Seahawks but he had a strained calf, preventing him from moving around on the field. He couldn’t even run. It was hard to watch. The Packers will have to shut up those mouthy Cowboys. The Cowboys came into the Playoffs as the #1 seed in the NFC Division and are certainly seeking revenge versus the Packers who sent them packin’ last year with a QB who couldn’t run.

Enjoy the Weekend and Drink Responsibly.
