Turkey Bowl 2009 Predictions

The Draft is over...It has been nearly 24 hours since the 1st ever Turkey Bowl Draft, and I'm still shaking. There were some questionable picks and some shocking trades. Here is my preview for the 4th Annual Turkey Bowl Classic:

(1) Ferromosca will be Ejected- His fiery temperment has become a source of strength for this outspoken wideout. However, the emotions of the event will once again bring a drunken rant and physical confrontation with opponents and teammates alike. Keep this in mind....Pooch and Mosca on the same team, that is like Varitek and A-Rod sharing a dugout. It is not going to go well if they do not excel early.

(2) Kris Self will score a touchdown...the only one for his team- This game might be even if Self decides to stay the whole game. However, his recent engagement to Lindsay will deter his dedication to the game. The second "MMMMbop" comes across the field from his Ringtone he will be out of there quicker than Tom Pistolas being on the "cusp". With Self gone, the team will lack all athletic ability and will compile 3 competed passes for the rest of the game.

(3) Pistolas and D'Urso will Go Off- Due to some nifty drafting by GM Dan Delorenzo, they were able to swoop up D'Urso with a late draft steal. Pistolas, an early round selection, will team with D'Urso to make a dynamic duo on the same level as Peyton and Marvin. D'Urso's hard training in the off-season was a surprise to everyone. Pistolas, nursing a bad finger, will share the duties with D'Urso at QB. Big Prediction: Passing-D'Urso 23-25, 375 yds, 3 TD. Pistolas: 45-46, 765 yds, 5 TDS. Receiving- D'Urso 7 catches, 145 yds, 2 TD. Pistolas 4 Catches 99 yds, 1 TD.

(4) Pistolas and D'Urso may score big, but Delorenzo will be MVP- The most underrated player in Turkey Bowl history will once again prove himself to be the best player. Delorenzo's speed and shiftiness will be on display. His ability to turn short plays into big plays is unequaled in the league. Look for Delorenzo to catch at least 5 TD passes and gain a monsterous 969 yds receiving...thus setting a Turkey Bowl record.

(5) JD and Rashad will continue to be paper players on Offense- Do not get me wrong, these two are more physically gifted than any other players on the field. But they have stone hands. However, there will be a silver lining, they will dominate on defense. McManus' speed and strength will be on par with Jason Sehorn in his glory days, and Rashad will provide the type of coverage that will be compared to Deion Sanders. Look for these two to breakout this game.

(6) Butler will be racist- Unavoidable.

Final prediction: Delorenzo's Warriors- 56, Self's Crew-7.

MVP- Dan Delorenzo- 15 Catches, 969 Yds, 5 TDs.

Least Valuable Player- Matt- 1 Catch, 3 yds, 0 TDs.
