NFL: Pigskin Picks Stories by Glenn Austen, OurHometown.ca http://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/austen/ Glenn Austen is a former resident of Cornwall and Williamstown who currently resides in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, where he continues to follow the NFL's Indianapolis Colts as well as both the NHL Montreal Canadians and Ottawa Senators from afar. The Colts' 28 million dollar question - Where goes Peyton Manning?http://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0021.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0021.phpOn the heels of a 2-14 season, and having recently replaced virtually their entire front office and coaching staff, the Indianapolis Colts are unquestionably entering a new era. At this point, there appear to be a lot more questions than there are answers with regards to what the future holds. What happens now to Peyton Manning? Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:42:33 -0600Pigskin Picks - Tom Brady will lead New England back to Super Bowlhttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0020.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0020.phpI believe this game will go down to the wire, and will be determined by how much time New England Patriots Quarteback Tom Brady is permitted in the pocket by the Baltimore Ravens pass rush. In a nail-biter, look for Brady and the Patriots to find a way playing at home! Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:13:07 -0600Pigskin Picks - Look for Manning and Giants to find their way back to the playoffshttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0018.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0018.phpDallas Cowboys vs New York Giants - Two very talented playoff calibre teams square off in a huge battle from which only one playoff team will emerge. Tony Romo's sore hand has received much attention. Look for Eli Manning and the G-Men to find their way back to the playoffs. Giants win! Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:50:59 -0600Pigskin Picks - Manning, Giants will upset Jets in Meadowlandshttp://www.ourhometown.ca/Sports/GA0017.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/Sports/GA0017.phpThe New York Jets have the brash talk of Coach Rex Ryan and the outstanding play of Darelle Revis, who has kept opposing WR on Revis Island all season. The New York Giants have a defensive line, led by super sophomore Jason Pierre-Paul, who thrive on getting to the QB.

Austen profiles twenty players that have the best chances of playing a dominant role, and who may well be plying their trade in the NHL in the near future. Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:04:02 -0600Pigskin Picks - No comeback this week for Tebow against Bradyhttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0015.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0015.phpThe Tim Tebow show continues to roll, and at the risk of incurring the wrath of the Divine intervention which has seemed to define his short tenure as the Broncos starter, my best guess is that he will seem somewhat less than godlike when matched up against the Pats Tom Brady. Patriots win. Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:50:38 -0600Pigskin Picks - Tebow expected to lead Broncos to victoryhttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0014.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0014.phpNo Cutler and no Forte spell doom for da Bears. The Broncos, meanwhile, continue to surpass expectations based on a solid defence and the inspiring play of QB Tim Tebow, who may not look like an NFL passer (unless you are looking way back in the vaults at very early NFL game film), but has certainly demonstrated the ability to run his team to victory. Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:50:20 -0600Pigskin Picks - Hanie will pick up first win against Orton's Chiefshttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0013.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0013.phpThe Chicago Bears run at success figures to get a bit rockier with the loss of Jay Cutler, who had really been playing well. His replacement, Caleb Hanie, can make plays with his feet, but is no Cutler in the air. Thankfully for Hanie and the Bears, the Kansas City Chiefs are led by Tyler Palko in what figures to be his last ever NFL start before he gives way to newly acquired Kyle Orton. Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:50:03 -0600Pigskin Picks - Stafford, Lions to upset Packers on Thanksgivinghttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0012.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0012.phpPigskin Picks went 4 for 6 last week (don't ask why I went with an extra game - I do not know myself), leaving my season average just shy of 80%. Detriot has a chance for the upset, provided that they can get a few breaks and keep the pace with GB's league best offence. Look for a high scoring affair in Detroit. Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:49:55 -0600Pigskin Picks - Chargers to upset Bears in Windy Cityhttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0011.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/sports/GA0011.phpChicago is favoured at home, where they have played surprisingly well. Look for the Chargers, who have not played to expectations all season, to do so today. Chicago at home is going to be a tough one, especially with Forte, Cutler and company playing as well as they have, but look for San Diego and Philip Rivers to finally snap out of their funk today.
