NFL

Here are news and notes from OffshoreInsiders.com
 private clipboard.  They are compiled from hometown newspapers
and the team’s own press releases.

Buccaneers-Panthers

Houston Chronicle

The Buccaneers (2-6) have scored a total of seven points
in the first quarter all season. The Panthers (4-4) have led going into the
fourth quarter in seven of eight games, only to lose three of them. They haven’t
scored a point in the second half in the last two games, both losses. While Gradkowski has thrown only one interception, the Bucs have
the second-worst offense in the league. Five times, Carnell “Cadillac” Williams
has rushed for 48 yards or less, including last week, when he managed only 39
yards on 12 carries against the Saints.On defense,
Simeon Rice has only two sacks as a sore shoulder has affected his play. He and
defensive tackle Ellis Wyms missed practice time late
in the week and may not play Monday, giving coach Jon Gruden more headaches. The Bucs rank 22^nd
in the NFL in total defense.  It’s
been a long two weeks for the Panthers, who had a bye last week after being
outscored 25-0 in the fourth quarter of a Sunday night loss to Dallas
a week earlier. Carolina committed
three turnovers in the final 10 minutes to blow a 14-10 lead. It left star
receiver Steve Smith grumbling about the play calling and for being asked to
return punts. Smith hasn’t answered football questions since, and coach John
Fox wouldn’t say if Smith will return punts against the Buccaneers.Johnson,
never shy to talk, thinks the Panthers get complacent when they get the lead. Carolina
has been outscored 77-30 in the fourth quarter.

The Ledger

As if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t have enough
problems, now they face a new challenge.Monday night’s
game at Carolina will be the first
of three games in 11 days. For a 2-6 team nursing some
injuries that’s not a good recipe for trying to turn a season around.

Youngstown-Duquesne

Press Notes

Duquesne’s projected starting lineup for the Youngstown
State game consists of three freshmen (Robert Mitchell, Scott Grote & Stephen Wood), a junior college transfer
(Reggie Jackson) and a sophomore (returnee Aaron Jackson). DU
has never opened a season with three freshman in the starting five (since
freshman were granted eligibility in 1972-73). Only three players on the
opening day roster (Aaron Jackson, Kieron Achara and Almamy Thiero) have Division I playing experience Of the three, Aaron Jackson is the only one who hasn’t missed
extensive practice time due to injury. It was learned Friday that Achara will be out indefinitely with stress fractures in
his left foot .Thiero, a first-year graduate student
transfer from Memphis, is back at practice following Oct. 9 arthroscopic surgery
on his left knee. DU will have seven scholarship
players available for the YSU game. DU is coming off
a 3-24 season (ranked 308 in the final RPI). MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top sports service

Lafayette-Indiana

Press Notes

Lafayette is
1-0 on the season, coming off a 76-70 win at Wagner Friday evening. Indiana
also enters Monday’s game at 1-0 after defeating Indianapolis,
83-46, Friday night.

Notre Dame-Butler

Press Notes

Here’s some of the numbers from Friday night’s win over IPFW. Notre Dame shot 61.5 percent in the first half. Notre
Dame returns three starters (Colin Falls,
Russell Carter and Rob Kurz) and five others who
earned monograms. The strength of the Irish once again will rest with its
ability to score points. Under Mike Brey, Notre Dame teams have demonstrated the ability to score points. A year
ago, the Irish averaged 76.4 points per game and topped the 80-plus mark 12
times. Falls (13.8 ppg.), Carter (11.5 ppg.) and Kurz
(6.4 ppg.) should be Notre Dame’s top scoring threats as the Irish once again
expect to have a potent offensive attack, but hope to improve defensively and
the 70.7 points per game they yielded a year ago. With the graduations of Chris
Quinn (17.7 ppg., 6.4 aspg.),
Torin Francis (11.6 ppg., 9.4 rpg.) and Rick Cornett
(5.4 ppg., 3.6 rpg.), there will be plenty of opportunity for contributions
from a new group of individuals. Notre Dame owns an all-time record of 84-18
(.824) all-time in season openers and have won all seven of its openers under
head coach Mike Brey. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic
handicapping and part of OffshoreInsiders.com
    Since
the opening of the Joyce Center in 1968-69, Irish teams are 33-6 (.846) in home
openers. The last time Notre Dame lost a season opener at home was to Miami of
Ohio on November 13, 1998.
Under head coach Mike Brey, the Irish are 22-2 (.917)
all-time in games played during the month of November. The two November losses
have been to Creighton 80-75 in the championship game of the Guardians Classic
on Nov. 26, 2002 and to North
Carolina State
(61-48) at the John R. Wooden Tradition at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis
on Nov. 26.

Northern Arizona-Arizona State

Press Notes

Arizona State University men’s basketball team returns six
lettermen for the 2006-2007 season and opens the Herb Sendek
era on Nov. 13 against Big Sky favorite and 2006 regular season champion
Northern Arizona (21-11/12-2 in Big Sky last year) followed by a Nov. 15 game
against Cal State San Bernardino. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com With ASU
losing its top two scorers from last season in guards Kevin Kruger (15.0 ppg.)
and Bryson Krueger (12.3 ppg.), look for ASU’s three
freshmen perimeter players (Christian Polk, Jerren
Shipp and Derek Glasser) to get their chances for
quality playing time early.

Fordham-Tennessee

Press Notes

The Vols opened their 98^th
season of varsity basketball with an 82-53 victory over Middle Tennessee Friday
in Knoxville. The Vols return two starters, including their top scorer from
last season. Chris Lofton, a preseason Wooden Award candidate, led the Vols with 17.2 points in 2005-06 while making 114
3-pointers, the second-highest total in Southeastern Conference history. Dane
Bradshaw, the lone senior on the squad, returns after averaging 7.1 points and
5.4 rebounds while leading the SEC in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.76). One of
the best sixth-men in the league last season, junior guard JaJuan
Smith averaged 9.5 points last year.

NFL SPECIALIST 49-24 NFL, WINNING WEEKS
10/11

No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy’s
GodsTips does the NFL. Going back to the preseason, we have had winning weeks
10-of-11 in the NFL.  Including
postseason, it’s winning weeks 20-of-24. Our 49-24 run
is unfair to us, because several were moneyline dogs, including the Washington
Redskins +155 as the NFC Moneyline Dog of the Year last week. Wise Guy plays
are 14-4, and ditto about the moneyline dogs there. We have five NFL winners,

NFL

SAN DIEGO -1 Cincinnati

The Chargers are loaded and like we say, Marty
Schottenheimer is a great regular season coach. 
We’ll talk again come playoff time. The best way to stop a slumping, but
talented offense is to keep them off the field. 
San Diego leads the league
in time of possession. The Bengals have lost two straight games and four out of
the last five to drop to 4-4 and face a daunting schedule in the second half of
the season, beginning with Sunday’s home game against AFC West co-leader San
Diego. The Chargers are 6-2, have failed to score at
least 23 points in a game just once and their two defeats have come by a
combined total of six points.

San Diego’s
Philip Rivers has completed 66.4 percent of his passes and thrown 10 touchdowns
compared to just three interceptions. San Diego
head coach Marty Schottenheimer was criticized early in the season for limiting
Rivers and the passing game, but Rivers now has as many completions as Palmer
(158) on 20 fewer attempts.

Remember, his counterpart, Carson Palmer is off his game,
ten months after surgery for a knee injury that many thought would end his
career.

Rams-Seahawks

Seattle Post Intelligencer

Home field hasn’t always been that big an advantage in
this series. The Rams won the division title in 2003, and beat the Seahawks at
Qwest Field. The Seahawks won the division title in 2004, but lost to the Rams
twice at home—once in the regular season and again in the first round of the
playoffs. The Rams won four of five during the 2003 and ‘04 seasons. The
Seahawks have won the past three meetings.Since
entering the Week 6 game against the Seahawks at 4-1,
the Rams have lost three in a row. Since beating the Rams 30-28 in St.
Louis, the Seahawks have dropped two of three.  MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top
sports service in their highest ranked sports.  
 

Chiefs-Dolphins

Sun Sentinel

Dolphins defensive end David Bowens
didn’t practice Friday because of a strained hamstring suffered during Thursday’s
session. Bowens is listed as questionable on the team’s injury report for
Sunday’s game against visiting Kansas City.
For Kansas City, two injured
starters – linebacker Derrick Johnson (ankle) and right tackle Kevin Sampson
(foot) – were officially declared out Friday. Keyaron
Fox will start for Johnson, while Kyle Turley, who had an offseason tryout with
the Dolphins as a tight end, replaces Sampson.Former
Dolphins strong safety Sammy Knight also was added to Kansas
City’s injury list as probable with an ankle injury. Joe
Duffy’s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com
 

Bears-Giants

NY Times

Two weeks ago, Awasom was on the
practice squad, but when LaVar Arrington was lost for
the season with an Achilles’ injury and Osi Umenyiora sustained a hip injury against the Cowboys on
Oct. 23, Awasom was promoted to the roster.Awasom, who has never started a game in the N.F.L., could replace Michael Strahan,
who is sidelined two to four weeks with a sprained right foot. “We have all of
those defensive linemen working together in different spots and that will end
up being a game-time decision,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “He is ready to go.” Umenyiora and another defensive end, Justin Tuck, will most
likely miss the Bears game, along with linebacker Brandon Short (quadriceps).
“I am not worried about theguys that are playing
right now,” Coughlin said. “We’ve just got to put the emphasis on those that
are playing and make sure they are prepared. They know what they are doing and
they know what their responsibilities are.” In spite of the injuries —
including wide receiver Amani Toomer
(knee), who is out for the season — the Giants have won five consecutive games
and the locker room was upbeat Friday after practice. Approved sportsbooks are at www.linetrackers.com 
 

Saints-Steelers

Post Gazette

The Steelers (2-6) try to stop a three-game losing streak
against the New Orleans Saints (6-2) at Heinz Field.

Redskins-Eagles

Washington Post

Wide receiver Santana Moss was upgraded to probable on the
Washington Redskins’ injury report, but a final decision on whether he can play
will be determined before tomorrow’s kickoff in Philadelphia. Moss, tight end
Christian Fauria, who was upgraded to probable with
an ankle injury, and a handful of other players will
be given fitness tests during warmups before the
game. Moss is Washington’s top
producing wide receiver over the past two seasons. Neither Brandon Lloyd nor Antwaan Randle El has topped 200 receiving yards for the
season; they combined for two catches and 26 yards last week against Dallas.
Lloyd missed Thursday’s practice with a mild groin problem but returned to the
field yesterday and said he will play. Fauria made a
quick turnaround yesterday after missing practice all week and needing a
walking cast on his left ankle. Like Moss, he was upgraded from questionable to
probable on the injury report. Wide receiver David Patten (hamstring), tackle
Jon Jansen (calf), tight end Chris Cooley (shoulder) and cornerback Carlos
Rogers (thumb) practiced and are expected to be available to play tomorrow. Cornerback
Shawn Springs,
who missed most of training camp and the first half of the season with groin
and abdominal injuries, was rested yesterday as a precaution, but will play
tomorrow, Gibbs said.  Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic

Jets-Patriots

Newsday

The Patriots have beaten the Jets seven straight times,
including once already this season, and are looking to make it eight at
Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

Broncos-Raiders

SF Gate

Raiders’ defense is already ranked third league-wide in
red-zone defense, second in pass defense and tied for sixth with 10
interceptions. The Raiders have scored 92 points in eight games. The defense
has scored 20 of them (plus three extra points), and spoon-fed the offense 16
more with turnovers in the opponents’ territory.

Packers-Vikings

St. Paul Press

Linebacker Napoleon Harris (dislocated left wrist) and
wide receiver Marcus Robinson (bruised lower back) were ruled out of Sunday’s
game, meaning a second consecutive start at middle linebacker for Dontarrious Thomas.

Childress, asked if he’s
concerned about Harris’ injury dragging on, said he didn’t know. “It’s a pretty
good injury,” he said. “He’s got to be able to play and play at a high level,
not just be a body in there.” Defensive end Darrion
Scott (left ankle sprain) practiced but remains questionable, and Childress
said he wants to see how the ankle responds. Rookie Ray Edwards would start if
Scott can’t play. Everyone else is expected to play, including fullback Tony
Richardson (thumb) and defensive tackle Pat Williams (knee), who were upgraded
to probable. For the Packers, wide receiver Greg Jennings (questionable-ankle)
made it through a portion of practice but had to stop because of soreness and
will be a game-time decision. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top
sports service in their highest ranked sports.  
 

Cowboys-Cardinals

Star Telegram

Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn
practiced briefly Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday with a
lingering right knee injury. Glenn is listed as probable on the injury report
for Sunday’s game against Arizona
but said it will be a game-time decision. He has chondromalacia,
a roughening of the cartilage under his kneecap, and said he has trouble cutting.Glenn had three catches for 26 yards, including a
10-yard touchdown, against Washington last week after getting a shot to numb
the pain before the game. He said he will likely have to do the same in order
to play against the Cardinals. If Glenn doesn’t play, rookie Sam Hurd will likely replace him in the lineup. Stevie
Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is

East Valley Tribune

The Cardinals will face a 3-4 defense Sunday for the first
time since the season opener, a twist a struggling offense may not need right
now. The reality is the Cardinals have regressed on offense as the season has
progressed. Arizona has just 442
yards and 23 points in the two games since Mike Kruczek
was promoted to offensive coordinator, and the Cowboys feature the fifth-ranked
defense in the NFL. Coach Dennis Green kept his offensive line the same this
game, choosing to stick with Chris Liwienski at right
guard instead of putting the now-healed Milford Brown back in. That was in part
because Green felt the running game showed some signs of life in Green
Bay, when Edgerrin James ran for 84 yards (on 24
carries). Green also expressed optimism quarterback Matt Leinart wouldn’t
continue to slump. Leinart’s passing rating the past
two games is 44.4.  Joe Duffy’s sports

49ers-Lions

Inside Bay Area

Hoping to improve their play away from home, the 49ers
have ended a short-lived experiment in which they departed for road games in
the eastern or central time zone the day before the game. “That was a mistake,”
coach Mike Nolan said Friday shortly before the 49ers
flew to Detroit, where they’ll play
Sunday against the Lions. Nolan decided to change the 49ers’ traditional departure
day for road games during an off-season evaluation of the team’s play last
season, when the 49ers won only one of their eight games away from home. The Niners Vernon Davis’ comeback from a cracked right fibula
apparently will have to wait until at least next week’s game against Seattle.
The rookie tight end was again held out of practice Friday and remained
doubtful for Sunday’s game at Detroit.
The outlook was more promising for safety Chad Williams (quad) and cornerback
Walt Harris (hip pointer). They were both upgraded from questionable to
probable after going through Friday’s practice. Williams sustained the hip
pointer during last Sunday’s 9-3 win over Minnesota.
Harris missed the Minnesota game
after suffering a quad injury during a midweek practice.

Central Florida-Memphis

Sun Sentinel

UCF Coach George O’Leary said
this week that a lot of the focus for the remainder of the season would be to
get younger players some quality game action. O’Leary said Saturday’s lineup
would only feature one senior starter on each side of the ball. He didn’t
elaborate beyond that, but based on playing time the past few weeks, that
appears to be WR Mike Walker on offense and DE Chris
Welsh on defense.What that means is that the Knights’
usual starter at center, Cedric Gagne-Marcoux, likely
will sit so junior Kyle Smith can play, and that QB Steven Moffett will do the
same so that probable 2007 starter Kyle Israel can get more comfortable in the
offense. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top

Tennessee-Arkansas

Tennessean

Redshirt freshman Jonathan Crompton
will make his first career start at quarterback for Tennessee
when the 13^th-ranked Vols take on No. 11
Arkansas on Saturday night at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.Erik
Ainge, who started the first nine games of the
season, returned to practice on Thursday despite a sprained right ankle. Crompton took most of the snaps with the first-team offense
every day in practice this week. He did the same thing last week, but Ainge was given the starting nod against LSU.Limping to a 1-of-6 start against the Tigers, Ainge was pulled at the end of the first quarter. In the
first significant playing time of his career, Crompton
went 11-of-24 for 183 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Joe Duffy’s

Despite a clean bill of health, wide receiver De’Cody Fagg will
not start against No. 18 Wake Forest on Saturday. Junior Joslin Shaw will get his third consecutive start for the Seminoles.Just having Fagg
available will be a plus for quarterback Xavier Lee, who will make his third consecutive start. Fagg (6-3) is one of three Seminoles receivers taller than
six feet. The others are Greg Carr
(6-6) and tight end Caz Piurowski

Temple-Penn State

Philadelphia Inquirer

Joe Paterno’s distaste for the
spotlight trumped his urge to coach. The injured Penn
State coach told his staff
yesterday that he would honor his physician’s wishes and not attend the game at
Beaver Stadium tomorrow against Temple.
Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley and offensive coordinator Galen Hall will
share Paterno’s responsibilities with the other
position coaches. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top
sports service in their highest ranked sports.  
 

Post Gazette

Starting against Temple,
Penn State
is going to commit himself to the running game in hopes it will open up the
passing game for quarterback Anthony Morelli. For the
season, the offense has been 50-50 run-pass. That’s far too many passing
attempts to Hall’s liking. Last season when Penn
State won the Big Ten championship
and played in the Orange Bowl, the Lions ran the ball 60 percent of the time
and passed 40 percent. This season, opposing defenses are concentrating their
efforts on making sure Penn State
cannot throw the ball deep. This leaves the defenses more susceptible to short-
to mid-range passes. But because Penn
State’s rushing attack has been so
inefficient defenses do not have to commit more defenders to stop the run and
can drop players into coverage. Penn State
has struggled to score in conference games all season. The Lions are averaging
16.9 points per game in Big Ten play. Only Purdue and Northwestern have scored
fewer points. In the past four games, the offense has scored three touchdowns.
That’s a far cry from the production of last season when the Lions were second
in the Big Ten in scoring with 34.4 points per game and scored at least three
touchdowns in nine of 12 games. Through 10 games this season, the offense has
scored three touchdowns in a game four times and only twice in conference play. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections are

UNLV-San Diego State

Sign on San Diego

San Diego State
redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Craft, who has made four straight starts
following early-season injuries to Kevin O’Connell and Darren Mougey, has been given the starting nod for tomorrow night’s
game against UNLV. Though coach
Chuck Long announced Monday that Craft and O’Connell would split time at the
position against the Rebels, he wanted to wait until the team had completed its
week of practice before announcing a starter. O’Connell, who is close to being
completely healthy after suffering torn ligaments in the thumb on his throwing
hand in the season opener, relieved Craft in the fourth quarter of last week’s
27-24 loss at Wyoming. O’Connell
had missed six straight games.  Craft,
who was 6-of-15 for 98 yards before being replaced by O’Connell last week, has
completed 51-of-89 passes for 611 yards and four TDs
as a starter while being intercepted just twice. Long said free safety Brett Sturm and cornerback Donny Baker, both of whom are nursing
ankle injuries, are questionable for tomorrow’s game. WR Chaz Schilens, who suffered a mild concussion last week
and has a sore shoulder, is likely to play. Join us Saturday morning at JoeDuffy.net for late
breaking information.

 

Colorado State-Utah

Desert News

Utah offensive
lineman Jason Boone, who has started 21 consecutive games at right tackle, has
been suspended indefinitely for an unspecified violation of team rules. Through
nine games this season, Boone had participated in 568 plays with 18 knockdowns,
12 cuts and eight pancake blocks. He’ll likely be replaced in the starting
lineup by junior Jeremy Inferrera. Joe Duffy’s GodsTips.com, Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com and MasterLockLine.com are all now part of the OffshoreInsiders.com

grueling schedule and a rash of injuries, the Owls (4-5, 3-2 C-USA) have
recovered to win four of five, including their first in-season three-game win
streak in five years. A victory Saturday would give the Owls a 4-3 road record,

Pittsburgh-Connecticut

Tribune-Review

The big plays that sprinkled Pitt’s early season success
have dried up. The Panthers, who made numerous big plays in each of their first
seven games, are being forced to drive the length of the field without the aid
of large chucks of yardage. In the two-game losing streak to Rutgers and South
Florida, Pitt has mustered only two plays that covered more than 20 yards—a
42-yard pass to Marcel Pestano last week and a
25-yard pass to Derek Kinder against Rutgers that ended with a fumble. By
contrast, the Pitt offense had 15 touchdown plays of at least 20 yards in its
first seven games. And that doesn’t count two long interception returns and a
97-yard kickoff return. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com

Stanford-Washington

Seattle Times

After all the talk this week of lots of competition for
jobs on Washington’s offense, the starting lineup Saturday against Stanford
could look pretty much the same as it has.

Coach Tyrone Willingham said Thursday that Carl Bonnell will again be the starting quarterback. Coaches
said Bonnell would split reps in practice this week
with backup Johnny DuRocher after his struggles last
Saturday against Oregon.
Willingham said Thursday, “All our quarterbacks have done well for the week,”
but said Bonnell would remain the starter. He also
said the offensive line will likely remain the same, at least to start the
game. Erik Berglund has been challenging Ben Ossai
for the starting left tackle job but Willingham said Ossai
is likely to start.One change that will take place is
Kenny James returning as the starting tailback in place of Louis Rankin after missing
the past two games with a sprained ankle. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top

San Francisco Chronicle

Injuries continue to plague Stanford as coach
Walt Harris said Thursday it is “doubtful” fifth-year senior safety David
Lofton will play again this season. Lofton, who made six starts, is believed to
have a stress fracture in his foot. He missed last week’s USC game, watching
from the sideline on crutches. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com

 

Washington State-Arizona State

Seattle Times

Holding an “audition week” the second week of November isn’t
exactly ideal for a team with bowl aspirations. But that is what the Washington
State Cougars have done this week to sort out their depth at wide receiver
following high ankle sprains to Jason Hill and Michael Bumpus
that have the standouts sidelined for Saturday night’s game at Arizona
State and doubtful for the Apple
Cup.  The expected starters against ASU are Brandon Gibson, already the No. 3 receiver, senior
Chris Jordan, who is back from knee surgery and not 100 percent, and Charles
Dillon, who has seen action in every game and also will return punts and
kickoffs against ASU.

Oregon State-UCLA

LA Times

Oregon State,
which will face UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, has won four consecutive
games and could finish as high as second in the Pacific 10 Conference. But the
turning point for the Beavers was not the start of their winning streak,
according to Coach Mike Riley. Things began to come together for Oregon
State the week before in a 13-6
loss at home to Washington State.
“We played great defense in that game, but we just couldn’t score,” said Riley
of the Beavers, who are 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Pac-10. “Our defense has
played well since then, and on offense we’ve been able to find better balance.”
Oregon State’s ground game is led by 5-foot-9 junior running back Yvenson Bernard, who is second in the Pac-10 in rushing,
averaging 101.5 yards despite being slowed in recent weeks because of an ankle injury.Bernard, who did not play in the Beavers’ victory
over three-time defending Pac-10 champion USC two weeks ago, has rushed for at
least 100 yards in 10 of his last 16 games.

Nebraska-Texas A&M

Dallas Morning News

Twice for Texas A&M this
season, the discrepancy between seven and three points equaled the difference
between victory and defeat. Against the Big 12, A&M has scored 14
touchdowns on 25 trips to the red zone. Its 56 percent success rate ranks ninth
in the conference.

Texas-Kansas State

Dallas Morning News

Five weeks into the season, Prince replaced five starters
and moved another, leaving only two seniors in the starting lineup. After wins
at Iowa State
and Colorado, the unit appears to
be gaining confidence behind freshman QB Josh Freeman and freshman TB Leon Patton
of W.T. White. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top

The Wildcats have been a rare bump in the road for Texas
coach Mack Brown. K-State (2-2) and Oklahoma
(4-5) are the only two teams Brown doesn’t have a
winning record against in the Big 12.

Western Michigan-Central Michigan

Michigan Live

Two years ago, Western Michigan and
Central Michigan had three conference wins between them.
Times have changed. Much more than usual will be at stake when the rivals meet
Friday night at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, including first place in the Mid-American
Conference West Division and a spot in the Nov. 30 MAC Championship Game at
Ford Field in Detroit. Central has won all five of its conference games this
season and is 6-3 overall, making the Chippewas bowl-eligible for the second
consecutive year. The Broncos (7-2, 5-1) also are bowl-eligible for the second
straight season. Ryan Cubit has thrown for 1,449 yards and 11 touchdowns, but
he may not be Central’s biggest worry — that would be Western linebacker Ameer Ismail, who leads the nation
in sacks with 15, one shy of the MAC single-season record. While Western has
the league’s top defense, Central has the conference’s top scoring offense,
averaging 28.7 points and 385 yards per game.

Central’s freshman quarterback, Dan LeFevour,
has thrown a MAC-leading 17 touchdowns. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections

UTEP-UAB

El Paso Times

The University of Alabama-Birmingham may be 3-6 overall
and 2-3 in Conference USA.
And it may be a little down. But if there are any doubts about whether the
Blazers will be ready to play UTEP on Saturday in a
nationally-televised game from Legion Field, head coach Watson Brown erased
them this week. “We are late in the year and both UAB
and UTEP still have something to play for,” said
Brown, who has been at UAB for 12 seasons. “Our backs
are against the wall, and I have told the team that we are in a playoff system
right now. If we win, we still have a chance. If we lose, we are going to be
playing the rest of the games for pride.” Throw in the fact that the Blazers
are participating in their final home game of the season against the Miners,
and have a reputation for being an athletic, hard-hitting club, and UTEP (4-5, 2-3 in league play) has quite the challenge if
it hopes to win out the remainder of the season and make an appearance in its
third straight bowl game. Further, UAB has held a
time of possession advantage in 7 of their 9 games this season—something that
proved the difference last week in the Miners’ loss to Rice. Primarily a rushing team in the post-Hackney era, quarterbacks
Chris Williams and Sam Hunt have been efficient. Williams is 91 of 162
on the season for 1,069 yards (118.8 per game), 8 touchdowns and 7
interceptions. Hunt, who is expected to return from an injury this week and
split time with Williams, is 35 of 55 for 414 yards (82.8 yards a game), 2
touchdowns and one pick. Further, UAB is 66^th
in the nation in total defense, as opponents have averaged 336.9 yards a game.
It is 78^th in the nation in rushing defense, limiting opponents to
149.2 yards a game—which may not spell good things for the Miners’ struggling
running game. MasterLockLine.com

San Jose State-Cal Santa Barbara

Press Notes

UC Santa Barbara posted a 2-0
record in the exhibition season. The Gauchos recorded wins over UC San Diego (62-51) and Westmont
College (76-68). UCSB finished the 2005-06 season
with an overall record of 15-14 and a Big West mark of 6-8. The Gauchos
finished fifth-place in the league. UCSB won eight of
its final 11 games in 2005-06 to finish over the .500 mark for the fourth time
in five seasons. Friday’s home game against San Jose
State will be the only Thunderdome appearance that the Gauchos will make prior to
the Thanksgiving holiday. Following the game against the Spartans, UCSB will hit the road for contests at Montana
State (Nov. 13), UNLV (Nov. 17) and Pepperdine
(Nov. 21). When the Gauchos return home they will have no small task as they
host San Diego State,
the defending Mountain West Conference champion, on Saturday, Nov. 25. By the
time November comes to and end, UCSB will have played
six regular season games, the most ever for the month. UCSB
enters the 2006-07 season with a vastly different
roster than it finished the 2005-06 season. Gone are eight of the 13 players
from last season’s team. In their place are two redshirt freshmen, a transfer
from a four-year school, two junior college transfers and four true freshmen.
In fact, due to injuries, the Gauchos had only three returnees
play in the two exhibition games. Of the 400 minutes logged by UCSB players in the games against UC
San Diego and Westmont, 237 (59.2%) was racked-up by
newcomers. UCSB went 9-4 in home games during the
2005-06 season. The Gauchos were a perfect 6-0 in
non-conference home games last season. Since Bob Williams became head coach in
1998-99, Santa Barbara has gone
73-30 in home games overall and 29-11 in non-conference home games. Since the
2000-01 season, UCSB has
gone 21-5 in non-conference games at the Thunderdome.
The Gauchos went 8-4 in home games in 2004-05, but in each of the three years
before that, they finished 10-2 in home games. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic

Eastern Washington-Gonzaga

Seattle Times

The Zags, who open Friday night
against Eastern Washington, lost Morrison and J.P.
Batista, who combined were worth 47.5 points and 14.9 rebounds per game. But
after four Sweet 16 appearances in eight seasons, the bar has been set. Nobody
really believes Gonzaga is ever rebuilding. Truth is,
they’re undergoing the next thing to it. Take the loss of Morrison and Batista
and a non-league schedule that can only be termed frightful, and the Zags appear to be in for a season in which some lumps are
coming. Gonzaga returns its Nos. 3-8 scorers — Derek Raivio,
Sean Mallon, Pierre Marie Altidor-Cespedes,
Josh Heytvelt, David Pendergraft
and Pargo.Throw in three promising additions —
hustling 6-foot-9 JC product Abdullahi
Kuso and swingmen Matt Bouldin
and Micah Downs (ineligible until well into December) — and the Zags will bother a lot of people, if not beat them. Approved

Samford-Florida

Press Notes

Last season, the Bulldogs played at No. 2-ranked Texas
in what was the program’s highest-ranked opponent. Samford (0-0) heads into the 2006-07 campaign as the preseason favorite
to win the Ohio Valley Conference. The Bulldogs return four starters from last
season’s squad that finished with a 20-11 record and advanced to the
championship game of the OVC Tournament. It was the
first time in school history that Samford was picked
to win the OVC.

Florida (0-0) finished last season with a 33-6 overall record and won its
last 11 games of the year en route to the national championship title. The
Gators head into this season as the first defending national champion since Arizona
in 1998 to bring back all five of its starters from the previous year. Florida
concluded 2005-06 Southeastern Conference play with a 10-6 record. Earlier this
week, Samford played host to North Georgia
in its lone exhibition contest of the preseason and cruised to a 76-45 victory.

Denver-Colorado

Press Notes

DU went 1-1 in exhibition play,
defeating Colorado Christian 72-59 and falling to CSU-Pueblo, 84-46. DU returns six letterwinners and
three starters from last season’s team that finished 16-15 overall, 7-8 in the
Sun Belt Conference. Gone is one of the best players to ever don a Pioneer
uniform and its 2005-06 leading scorer and rebounder
in Yemi Nicholson. The Pioneers have five newcomers,
including two freshmen and three junior college transfers. DU
was picked to finish fourth in the West Division in a vote of the conference’s
13 head coaches at the annual Sun Belt Conference Media Days. The Pioneers will
be without the services of a pair of players expected to contribute this
season. Junior guard Myke Lattimore
(Morristown, N.J.)
and junior center Adam Tanner (Melbourne, Australia)
will miss at least the first four contests but are expected to be cleared to
practice on Nov. 21. MasterLockLine.com
