Here we go! The San Francisco 49ers will face the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans on Sunday 3 February. A Super Bowl needs no further intrigue, however, the fact that two brothers will coach against each other for the ultimate prize in US sport...

Big Jim's tip for 28 January: Indiana Pacers
This is an enthralling matchup. Both teams have very similar records, both are very good at home and both struggle on the road. For this reason the Nuggets seem like the better option. However, the bookies are savvy to all this, so we will get an...

Big Jim's tip for 27 January: Leeds United
Leeds is a once-proud club desperately reminiscing about better days. Well, they might be able to turn their luck around against Tottenham today. It’s going to be tough, but they are at home and if they play their best they could cause an...

Big Jim's tip for 26 January: Reading
I am finally convinced that Reading has turned the corner. They looked as if they were only making up the numbers in the early part of the season but have come out firing recently. Knocking off a desperate Newcastle up North last weekend was really...

Big Jim’s tip for 25 January: Millwall
Millwall are an exciting team. Their fans are the hardest in the land and their hatred of the Hammers is legendary. They are a solid Division One team and I like backing the underdogs in the FA Cup, as it doesn’t hold the significance it once...

Big Jim’s tip for 24 January: Tiger Woods
Now that all the confusion of the festive season is behind us, let’s get back to the golf. I promise I will try my best not to tip Tiger every week. I admit I have a man crush on him but I’ll try to keep this fact in check. This week...

Big Jim’s weekend preview
The EPL is in limbo for another weekend as the FA Cup fourth round matchups take center stage. Watch out for a few upsets. We aren’t deep enough into this competition for the Premier League teams to really care about it yet, so look for teams...

Big Jim’s tip for 23 January: Australia
Well, we got a juicy $3.35 on the Sri Lankans in game three of the series, which was very tasty indeed. We have done pretty well in the international cricket this year and today I’m going to back the Australians. They are going to start too...

Big Jim’s tip for 22 January: Oklahoma City Thunder
So you thought there wasn’t anything exciting happening today – well, this is going to be a blockbuster! San Antonio might beg to differ, but for me, these are the two best teams in the West at the moment. It’s going to be an awesome...

Good riddance Lance
If you love sport, you really should despise Lance Armstrong. He pranced out and did his tell-all interview with Oprah, and left most of us hating him more than we did before. It would have been nice to see him face the music in an interview with a...
Big Jim’s weekend wrap
Tiger and Rory both missed the cut! What a nightmare for the event organisers. At least it happened in the desert where they can’t have been expecting many spectators anyway, and luckily for us, there was so much happening in the world of...

Big Jim’s tip for 21 January: Everton
Everton need to get the job done tonight or they will sink into the middle of the premier league table. It’s the same old story for the other team from Liverpool in a year where they could really push for European football. A win tonight over...

Big Jim’s tip for 20 January: San Francisco 49ers
It’s been a while since Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Steve Young became American football icons playing for the 49ers. The drought is about to break as I reckon the boys from San Francisco are going to beat up the Falcons and reclaim their...

Big Jim’s tip for 19 January: Newcastle United
If the Magpies don’t pull their socks up soon they are going to find themselves in a relegation battle. Reading and QPR are finally getting a few points on the board so Newcastle is only two points away from possible disaster! They won’t...

Big Jim's tip for 18 January: Sri Lanka
It hasn’t exactly been the start I would have hoped for the Sri Lankans, but I will keep backing them against the Aussies in the 50-over format of the game. Australia will have some of their big names for this game but I’m not sure this...
