of Cincinnati

25-ranked foe of the season when the Bearcats clash with No. 4 Ohio State on
Saturday at the John Wooden Tradition in Indianapolis,
Ind.

State
.

Akron-Illinois Chicago

Press Notes

The Flames sit at 5-5 on the year and are a perfect 3-0 at
home. UIC has had a week off for final exams after
dropping a hard-fought decision to Illinois
last Saturday at the United Center, 71-66. This is the start of a rigorous
stretch for UIC. The Flames will play four games in
the next seven days with stops after Saturday’s tilt with Akron
at Mississippi (Dec. 19) and Penn
(Dec. 21), before returning home to take on Illinois
State
(Dec. 23). The Zips come into
their showdown with UIC riding a six-game winning

has shot better than 50 percent from the field in each of its seven contests
this year and boasts a team shooting percentage of .521.

Bowling Green-Wright State

University
men’s basketball team,
after opening with six of seven games on the road, will host Bowling Green. The Raiders, now

NFL

Jets-Vikings

Journal News

Jets QB Chad Pennington has a career-high 15
interceptions, including four in the last two games. Pennington and the Jets’
passing game will be crucial Sunday at Minnesota
because the Vikings’ defense is allowing an NFL-low 54.1 rushing yards per
game.

Browns-Ravens

Gainesville Sun

The Ravens (10-3) lead the division by two games over Cincinnati
and if they win Sunday and the Bengals lose at Indianapolis
on Monday night, will be division champions for the second time in team
history. Baltimore also won the
division in 2003, the last time it made the playoffs. Even if Baltimore
loses to Cleveland (4-9), something
that doesn’t happen very often, it can still clinch a playoff spot through a
multitude of other scenarios. Since leaving Cleveland
for Baltimore after the 1995
season, the Ravens are 10-5 against the team that replaced them. The Ravens
have won six of their last seven games and are tied with Indianapolis
for the second-best record in the AFC. Baltimore
is 5-1 at M&T Bank Stadium this season and has
won 15 of its last 19 home games in December. As the
Ravens continue to win, quarterback Steve McNair seems to grow more comfortable
in the offense. He has completed 68.1 percent of his passes and thrown for
eight touchdowns in his last seven games, and didn’t throw an interception in
six of those contests. McNair has thrown nine touchdowns passes and only one
interception in his last five starts against the Browns, posting a 98.6 passer
rating. The Ravens are first in the NFL in total defense, allowing 268.1 yards
per game.
Baltimore has allowed a league-low 170 points and has held Cleveland to 14 points or less in 10 of their 15 all-time meetings. The
Browns, who have lost eight consecutive road games to division opponents, are
trying to avoid a winless season against AFC North teams.

Dolphins-Bills

Gainesville Sun

Miami and Buffalo,
both 6-7, resurfaced in the crowded conference race after convincing victories
over East opponents last Sunday. Neither team can clinch a berth with a win
this week, but both can improve their positioning. The Dolphins, who have won
five of their last six games, recorded their first shutout in six seasons with
a 21-0 home victory over division-leading New England
last Sunday. It was the 10th time this season that Miami
has held an opponent to 20 points or fewer. Taylor
and safety Yeremiah Bell combined for 15 tackles and
two sacks as Miami’s second-ranked
defense held the Patriots to a season-low 189 yards. The Dolphins allow 278.2
yards per game.

Steelers-Panthers

Steelers.com

The Steelers know they have an uphill battle if they are
going to get into the post-season, as they not only have to win their last
three games, but a variety of other things have to happen as well.

NFL

San Francisco-Seattle OVER 40.5

The total has dropped because of bad weather. Rain means overs in
part because the total drops, but also because it benefits offensive players
who know where they are going, while the defensive players have to keep
up. However, admittedly the wind
prevented us from making it a premium play.

However, the Seahawks shaky defense is now matched by
Alexander and Hasselbeck in the line-up together. Since returning to the line-up together, the
Seahawks games have had 58, 43 and 48 points. San
Francisco
has skilled position players on offense, but
ravaged by injuries in the defensive backfield. Despite the winds, the total is
just too low.

Wake Forest-DePaul

Press Notes

The Demon Deacons, 5-2, are looking to snap a two-game
losing streak. Wake Forest
hasn’t played since an 87-86 home loss to Georgia
on Dec. 2.

Xavier-Cincinnati

Press Notes

This is the 74th meeting between Xavier and Cincinnati.
Cincinnati leads the series 46-27,
although Xavier has won three of the last four, five of the last seven and
seven of the last 10 meetings. That XU success includes a 73-71 overtime win
last season. Xavier, 7-2, saw its four-game winning streak come to an end with
a 73-67 loss at Creighton on Saturday night.

Massachusetts-Louisville

Kentucky.com

UMass, which was a pre-season
pick to challenge Xavier for the Atlantic 10 championship, is off to its best
start since the 1995-96 Final Four season, but has no quality wins, having
beaten such teams at Dartmouth, Jacksonville
State
and Savannah
State
. The Minutemen’s losses came
at No. 4 Pittsburgh (85-68) and at home against Boston
College
(84-73). UMass is shooting nearly 50 percent from the field and
three of its four leading scorers are all shooting better than 55 percent — 6-9
center Rashaun Freeman (68.2), 6-8 senior forward Stephane Lasme (66.7) and 6-6
junior guard James Life (55.6). Life is also shooting 50 percent from
three-point range (25-51). Lasme posted the second
triple-double in UMass history with 19 points, 10
rebounds and a school-record 11 blocked shots in a 63-49 win over St. Francis
(N.Y.).

Wright State-Marshall

Dayton Daily News

Wright State’s
tiny band of basketball players got tinier Monday when 6-foot-6 junior forward
Scottie Wilson found out his right hand was broken. He is third on the team in
scoring at 7 points a game, and leads the Raiders (3-3) in rebounding with 6.3
a game. Wright State coach Brad Brownell said he wasn’t sure what he would do
with his lineup, but has started either Wilson or 6-6 Drew Burleson with 6-8
Jordan Pleiman in every game but one. He also has not
played the three of them together, keeping at least one on the bench. “Injuries
are circumstances you can’t control,” Brownell said. “We have only three true
post players. Now, we have two. And it happens at a time we have three games in
a week.”

UL Lafayette-New Orleans

Press Notes

The game will also be the 63rd contest between
the schools, and UNO (3-6) will be trying to reverse
recent history. The Ragin’ Cajuns (2-6) have won five
straight meetings and lead the all-time series 32-30. UNO,
though, is looking to start 1-0 in conference play for the fourth time in five
seasons. The Privateers are coming off a 76-52 win over Texas-Tyler on
Saturday. UL Lafayette is coming off an 80-42 loss at Stephen F. Austin on
Saturday.

St. Louis-Pacific

Press Notes

Pacific is 3-6 and in the midst of a three-game skid,
including its first home loss of the season Saturday night. With a 6-2 record
through eight games, the Billikens are off to their
best start since 1997-98.

Louisiana Monroe-Mississippi

Press Notes

The Ole Miss Rebels return four starters and nine letterwinners from last year’s team that finished 14-16
overall and 4-12 (t-fifth) in the Southeastern Conference’s West division. Ole
Miss is off to a strong, 7-2, start and opened with four-straight victories
before falling to No. 10 Connecticut, 77-59, in the championship game of the
Hispanic College Fund Classic in Hartford, Conn.

Central Florida-Minnesota

Press Notes

The Golden Knights (6-0) are one of just nine undefeated
teams in the country. UCF has won its last four games
by an average of 34.5 points. Minnesota
is 4-7 this season. uesday’s
game will mark the first time this season that UCF
has faced an out-of-state team. What a difference a year makes for UCF’s offense. Through six games in 2005-06, the Golden
Knights were averaging 65 points and shooting 46 percent overall and 33.6
percent from deep. This year, the squad is averaging 84 points and shooting
52.3 percent from the floor and 43 percent from 3-point range. Last season, UCF eclipsed the 80-point mark only once. This year, the
team has already scored more than 80 points five times. The squad boasts a
+25.7 margin of victory in 2006-07.

NFL

Broncos-Chargers

ESPN

Left defensive end Luis Castillo, who missed the past four
games with an ankle injury, will be back on the field for Sunday’s home game
against the Denver Broncos. Last week, the Chargers got linebacker Shawne Merriman back in the lineup following a four-game
suspension for a violation of the league’s steroids and banned substances
policy. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com

Giants-Panthers

ESPN

Carolina
quarterback Jake Delhomme did not practice for a third straight day Friday with
a right thumb injury, making it more likely Chris Weinke
will start for the Panthers. Weinke, a former Heisman
Trophy winner, has thrown only 13 passes in four seasons and hasn’t been a
full-time starter since 2001 when the Panthers were 1-15. The Panthers only
have two quarterbacks on the active roster. If Delhomme can’t play, they are
expected to promote rookie Brett Basanez from the
practice squad. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com

Eagles-Redskins

Washington Times

Lost in the
midst of Washington’s near-elimination from the playoff race with last Sunday’s
loss to Atlanta was receiver Santana Moss’ return to the form that made him a
Pro Bowl starter last season. After battling a strained hamstring for five
weeks, Moss showed he was back on his initial catch. Moss, who was hurt in an
Oct. 22 loss to Indianapolis, had seven catches for 123 yards against Atlanta.
Despite missing games against Dallas (Nov. 5) and Tampa Bay (Nov. 19) and being
a non-factor against Carolina and at Philadelphia (Nov. 12), Moss still leads
the Redskins with 41 catches. The Eagles, who visit the Redskins tomorrow, have
perhaps the NFL’s top secondary. But they didn’t see the real Moss last time
when he came back too soon from the hamstring injury and caught just three
balls for 17 yards. Offensive tackle Jon Jansen, who has been bothered for
weeks by a strained calf, and reserve tight end Todd Yoder, who injured a thigh
last Sunday against Atlanta, both returned to practice yesterday meaning that
coach Joe Gibbs can choose from the full 53-man roster for the first time all
season. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top sports service
in their highest ranked sports.

Brian Westbrook
has averaged 148 yards of offense the past four games, keeping the Eagles (6-6)
in the NFC playoff race despite the loss of quarterback Donovan McNabb, their
longtime focal point, to a season-ending knee injury. Westbrook averaged just 13.3
carries as the No. 1 back in 2004 and 2005 and just 13.9 in Philadelphia’s 4-4
start this season. However, he has 80 carries in the past four games with a
superb 5.1 yards a carry.

Patriots-Dolphins

Boston Herald

The Patriots
are fighting for one of the top two playoff seeds in the AFC. The Dolphins
would like nothing more than to play the role of spoilers. They’ve had plenty
of practice. Miami claimed December victories over the Patriots in 2004 and
2005. Quarterback Tom Brady so invincible against virtually the rest of the
NFL, is a mortal 7-4 against the Dolphins. Joe Duffy’s sports betting
selections are at www.GodsTips.com

Bills-Jets

NY Post

J.P. Losman passed for 328 yards
on Sept. 24, when the Jets beat the Bills, 28-20, in Orchard
Park
. Since that first game against
Buffalo, one quarterback has passed
for more than 300 yards against the Jets: David Carr of the Texans, in a 26-11
Jets’ win. Carr threw the ball 59 times. Approved sportsbooks are at www.linetrackers.com

Colts-Jaguars

Indy Star

Through 13 weeks of the NFL season, the Indianapolis Colts
are 10-2, coming off a pair of road losses in their past three games and trying
to fix a defense that ranks last in the league against the run.

Xavier-Creighton

Press Notes

Xavier, 7-1, won its fourth straight game with an 88-55
thrashing of former Midwestern Collegiate Conference rival Detroit
on Tuesday in Throwback Jersey Night at Cintas Center.
Xavier shot a season-high 59.3 percent from the field in the win over Detroit,
marking the fourth straight game that Xavier has shot over 50.0 percent from
the field. This is the first time XU has shot 50 percent or better in four
straight games since the 2003-04 “Elite Eight” season. Xavier is ranked 24th
in this week’s Associated Press Poll. The last time Xavier was ranked in the
Associated Press “Top 25” was when it finished 12th in the 2002-03
final regular season poll. XU was ranked as high as 10th that season
by AP, including the preseason poll and the March 5th poll. Xavier, which played VCU, Villanova and Alabama
at the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands, tonight is playing its first
road game on an opponent’s home court. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections

Illinois Chicago-Illinois

Press Notes

The UIC men’s basketball team
renews its rivalry with Illinois on Saturday afternoon as the Flames (5-4)
square off with the Fighting Illini (8-2) at the
United Center at 1 p.m. UIC enters the contest riding
a three-game winning streak and has won four of its last five games. Saturday’s
matinee is the 13th all-time meeting between UIC
and Illinois with the Illini holding an 11-1 edge in the series. This is the
second time the two schools have squared off at the United
Center
with Illinois
winning the last meeting in the arena, 75-60, on Dec. 30, 2003. The Flames are on the heels of a
convincing 71-48 win at Northern Illinois on Tuesday night.
UIC’s defense has been especially stingy of late,
limiting opponents to just 38 percent field goal shooting in
its last three games
. UIC’s recent surge has
coincided with the insertion of freshman Spencer Stewart into the starting
lineup. The rookie point guard is averaging 10.0 points and 5.2 assists per
outing and shooting 50 percent from three-point range as a starter. Stewart is
now the team leader in assists (3.3 apg) and ranks
first in the Horizon League in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.3-to-1).

GA Tech-Vanderbilt

Press Notes

Tech is 2-2 away from home this season, having defeated
Purdue (79-61) and No. 11 Memphis (92-85) before dropping an 88-73 decision to
No. 5 UCLA in the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational. The Yellow Jackets are 20-48 on
the road overall under head coach Paul Hewitt. The Yellow Jackets remain No. 2
in the ACC in scoring offense (86.1 ppg), lead the ACC in field goal percentage
(51.4 pct.) and rank second in three-point field foal percentage (39.0 pct.). MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top
sports service in their highest ranked sports.
Tech also ranks
sixth in rebound margin (plus-5.9), fifth in assists per game (16.5) and fifth
in offensive rebounds (14.5). Defensively, Tech has struggled in its last three
games, allowing its opponents to shoot no worse than 51.7 percent in any one
half. And the Jackets have been outrebounded for
three straight games after beating its first five opponents on the boards by an
average of more than 12 per game. The Yellow Jackets will be tested Saturday by
a team that relies heavily on good three-point shooting.

UCLA-Texas A&M

LA Times

That No. 6 ranking is the highest in Texas A&M history, but it came before the Aggies
suffered their first loss of the season Tuesday at No. 9 Louisiana State.

Indiana-Kentucky

Courier-Journal

Last season in Indianapolis,
IU handed the Cats their worst loss in series
history, a 79-53 shellacking that snapped UK’s
five-game winning streak in the series. The Hoosiers are coming off a 92-40 win
against Western Illinois.

Utah-Rhode Island

Press Notes

Utah had its
three-game winning steak snapped with a 60-57 loss at Utah
State
on Wednesday night. Last
week, the Utes defeated Weber State, 67-55, on Nov. 29 and previously unbeaten
Washington State, 69-55, on Dec. 2. Three of Utah’s
four losses have come by a combined seven points. Before its loss at Utah
State
on Wednesday night, Utah
had won three in a row for the first time since it won its first four games of
the 2005-06 season. That followed up Utah’s
first 0-3 start since 1970-71. The Utes have shot at least 50 percent from
three-point range in five of the seven games and at least 50 percent from the
field in five of the seven games this season. The Rams are 5-4 overall and 3-1
at home this season. During the past week, Rhode Island
lost at Providence, 95-66, on
Saturday and edged Brown, 72-68, at home on Tuesday night.

Illinois State-Evansville

Press Notes

The Aces have won four straight at Roberts Stadium against
Illinois State
and Indiana State.
That’s the longest homecourt win streak for UE
against MVC opponents. Overall, Evansville
trails in the series against Illinois
State
20-12. The Aces were 2-1
against the Redbirds last season–winning at home 54-47, losing at Normal
65-57, and winning 52-45 in the first round of the State Farm MVC Tournament. Evansville
has won four straight home games after defeating Valparaiso
69-64 at Roberts Stadium on Tuesday behind Matt Webster’s career-high 30
points. This is the Aces’ longest homecourt win streak since they won eight in
a row at home to begin the 2004-05 season. peaking of winning
streaks, Illinois State
has run off six straight after two losses to begin the season. The Redbirds
present a much different look in 2006-07, with three junior college transfers
leading the team in scoring. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic
handicapping and part of OffshoreInsiders.com
Guards Dominitrix
Johnson (12.9) and Boo Richardson (12.8) are the top scorers, and 6-7 forward
Anthony Slack (11.5 ppg, 7.8 rpg) is third in scoring and first in rebounding.
The Redbirds are 6-2 overall after Tuesday’s 64-40 win over Miami of Ohio.

Butler-Indiana State

Press Notes

Butler (9-0)
will play outside of Indianapolis
for the final time before Christmas when it visits Indiana
State
(4-3). Indiana
State
, ending a seven-day layoff,
has won the last two meetings in the series, including a 59-58 decision at
Hinkle Fieldhouse last year. The #15-ranked Bulldogs
defeated Ball State, 65-41, on Wednesday (Dec. 6), recording their fourth
victory over a school from Indiana
this season. Butler continues to
hold the No. 1 spot in the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI)
and the Bulldogs have climbed to the top spot in the Sagarin basketball
ratings. It marks the first time that Butler
has held the top spot in both national ratings at the same time! Butler
first grabbed the top spot in the RPI after beating
Notre Dame and Indiana on back-to-back nights in early November. The Bulldogs
have played the seventh toughest schedule in the nation acccording
to the RPI.

West Virginia-Duquesne

Press Notes

Duquesne (2-5), coming off a 73-56 loss at #2 (AP) Pitt on
Wednesday, completes its own version of “rivalry week” by hosting West Virginia.Duquesne’s current stretch of three local rivals
in a week began with a 73-72 loss at Robert Morris last Saturday. The West
Virginia
game is Duquesne’s lone home game between Nov.
22 and Jan. 10. The Dukes, who dropped a 67-53 decision to Oakland
on Nov. 22, won’t play at home after the WVU game
until conference play when La Salle visits on Jan. 10.
That’s eight of nine on the road if you’re counting. Six of the past eight Duquesne
vs. West Virginia games have been
single-digit affairs with Duquesne winning four times. The past four games at
Duquesne have been decided by fewer than 10 points with the teams alternating
wins. Approved
sportsbooks are at
www.linetrackers.com The Dukes received a lift when 6-10 junior F/C
Kieron Achara played 18
minutes at Pitt on Wednesday. Achara, who missed all
but three games last season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, was
diagnosed with three stress fractures in his left foot on Nov. 10. Hhe resumed practice on Monday, Dec. 4 and was a surprise
addition for the Pitt game. It was Achara’s first
game action since last Dec. 3 vs. Robert Morris (he underwent shoulder surgery
last Dec. 15). Duquesne is currently competing with nine scholarship players. A
freshman has led DU in scoring in each of the team’s
first seven games.
