Two overachieving teams going head-to-head – this always makes for good theatre. A win by either club would see all their Christmas wishes come true, but I’m going to be a party pooper and back a draw. I reckon both sides would be over...

Big Jim's tip for 15 December: Liverpool
Who wants to be a Liverpool fan? Well, there are plenty of you walking together, so you better start cheering together. You need to get your boys up and running again! Aston Villa should be the perfect prey – so get out there Scousers and...

Big Jim's tip for 14 December: Australia
I love the Sri Lankan cricket team and how they play the game, however, I think they’re in for a rough Test series against the Aussies this summer. The Australian batsmen will be aiming to go out there and cement their positions in the...

Big Jim's tip for 13 December: Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Vick is gone and Andy Reid is next. The poison in Philly is slowly starting to trickle out of the system and the once-great football city can look forward to a brighter future with a real quarterback and a decent coach. Cincinnati have...

Big Jim's weekend preview
I’m getting right behind the Aussies in the Test match against Sri Lanka starting later this week. Their pace attack should be able to get a lot of movement off the seam down there in Hobart. All eyes will be on Phillip Hughes during his third...

Big Jim's tip for 12 December: Perth Scorchers
It’s going to be another battle of the spinners tonight. Hogg vs Warne should be a classic matchup of the 40 pluses. History will remember Warne as one of the greatest ever, but his heyday is long gone, and I think Hogg is now bowling better...

Big Jim's tip for 11 December: Brooklyn Nets
The Knicks are the hottest team in the east right now. Their second thrashing of the Heat this year was nothing short of inspirational for starving New York fans. However, a NBA season is a marathon not a sprint, and it’s hard for a team to...

The Scottish Premier League
Celtic Football Club has managed to claw their way into the next round of the Champions League! This is great news for Scottish football, but where is the Scottish Premier League heading in the long term? The EPL competition is growing from strength...
Big Jim's weekend wrap
Hats off to the English. It’s no mean feat for a team to go to India and win a Test series. They also did it in a comeback after losing the first Test. The Indian cricket team is in dire trouble at the moment – they have an age problem with...

Big Jim's tip for 10 December: New England Patriots
There is a good chance we’ll be seeing this matchup again in the finals. This is a tough game to pick but I’m going to back the Patriots tonight. Houston has been lucky in some big games this year. They had narrow escapes against...

Big Jim's tip for 9 December: Manchester Draw
Well, here it is – the game that will bring Manchester to a halt. City take on United and the winner will cement their position as hot favorites for the EPL title. I’m going to be a spoilsport and tip a draw. When in doubt, always look...

Big Jim's tip for 8 December: Arsenal
Who would have thought this would be a hard game to pick at the start of the season? West Bromwich have been nothing short of amazing this year, but facing a pumped up Arsenal at home is a hard task and I reckon the Gunners will find the three...

Kobe taking on Durant – what a mouth-watering matchup! These two teams are considered to be the only real threats to the Heat, so this should be one of the games of the year. I reckon the Thunder will bring their A-game tonight and show...

Big Jim's tip for 6 December: Oakland Raiders
I love the underdog in this kind of matchup! It’s a nighttime divisional game in which a good team will travel to face an underperforming team at home. It’s going to take all of Peyton’s leadership to help the Broncos here...

Big Jim's tip for 5 December: Los Angeles Clippers
I can’t stomach the Lakers but their LA rivals, the Clippers, are great to watch! They are young, brash and play exciting basketball. The Mavericks are on a downward spiral as far as I’m concerned, so I reckon this will be an easy day at...
