Six-Pack for Thursday

-- Air Force led unbeaten Wake Forest 47-23 at halftime on Wednesday and crushed the Deacons; the Falcons are a Sweet 16 team in March.

-- Gary Waters beat his old team, Kent State, posting his first big win at Cleveland State. Maybe the guy can only coach in Ohio; he had hard time at Rutgers.

-- Oregon 57, Georgetown 50; you'll hear that score again in about three and a half months, on Selection Sunday.

-- Ohio State has lot of athletes, but they'll be changing way they play once Greg Oden gets healthy; they'll have to go little bit slower, which will help them a lot.

-- Butch Davis was on ESPN, saying he thinks they can win a national title at North Carolina; he had to be reminded he was the football coach, not the basketball coach.

-- Miami Hurricanes are playing a bowl game in Boise; that is punishment, leaving Miami for Idaho in late December.

Thursday's List of 13:
Random Thursday thoughts........

Random thoughts as the seasons overlap, starting with a hot stove look at the AL East….

13) Red Sox bid $51.M to talk with a Japanese pitcher; they offered another $21M to sign him. They're also trying to sign JD Drew and trade Many Ramirez. If someone in your fantasy league acted like this, you'd get him a cab and send him home without his car keys. Oh, the Japanese pitcher has a wife who wants to be a model. Uh-oh.

12) Bronx spent $26M on a lesser-rated Japanese pitcher, a lefty with a career mark of 86-60 in Japan. One positive Bronx note: Carl Pavano was seen carrying groceries from a Winn-Dixie without a noticeable limp.

11) Orioles, who already have a pitcher with a wife/model (Kris Benson) restocked their bullpen with the law firm of Bradford, Walker, Baez and Williamson. They're still trying to figure a way to move Miguel Tejada's declining defensive skills to 3B. Good luck with that one.

10) Toronto beefed up their lineup by paying $9M/year for a DH who crushes the ball, but couldn't beat me in race around the bases (hey, at least I'd finish).

9) Then there are the Devil Rays, who got new pitching coach and put a fish tank behind right field fence. Way to go fellas.

Elsewhere in the world……….
8) It is always fun to watch a visiting coach the first time his team plays at Duke, kind of the same way it is fun to watch an annoying little kid go to the dentist. Phantom fouls get called; obvious contact gets ignored. Lot of pained expressions. Fun for the whole family.

7) Not a good year to be Jim Fassel; Ravens' offense took off as soon as Fassel took off, while Sean Payton, demoted by Fassel while working with Giants, is going to be NFL Coach of the Year. Fassel is good guy having a lousy 2006.

6) Will Ravens' success be Rick Neuheisel's ticket back to college coaching? Arizona State? NC State?

5) Postscript to Arizona State firing Dirk Koetter:
Coaches, please don't let your players choose the starting QB. That's what you get paid to do.

4) Tulane showed lot of class by firing football coach Chris Scelfo; the guy had great chance to build winning program, after the Katrina-related issues of last season. Who on God's green earth can win at Tulane right now?

3) At least they're not as bad as North Texas, which fired its coach Darrell Dickey three weeks after the guy had a heart attack. They couldn't even wait until after the season.

2) Florida State is playing UCLA in the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco. Thought you'd like to know.

1) Oh, and there's a bowl game in Toronto on January 6 or 7. No truth to rumor that each kid gets pair of earmuffs and a hockey puck in his swagbag.

NFL
Sunday

Vikings (5-6) @ Bears (9-2)-Chicago split last four games after 7-0 start; in last two games, they scored two TDs on 21 drives. In first five games, Bears averaged at least 5.9 yds/pass attempt in every game; in last six games, they averaged less than five yards four times. Chicago won first meeting 19-16 in Week 3 defensive struggle (TY 325-286). Vikings snapped four-game skid with win last week, despite allowing pair of 99-yd TDs, on KR and FR; they're 2-6 without positive turnover ratio. Last week, Bears allowed their first TD drive of 80+ yds since Week 2.

Bucs (3-8) @ Steelers (4-7)-AFC teams are 25-6 vs. AFC last six weeks, but tough to lay 7 with struggling Steeler squad now missing Polamalu (knee); Pitt is 3-7 in last 10 games, with one win (45-7 vs. Chiefs in Week 6) by more than seven pts. That said, Bucs are 0-5 on road (1-4 vs. spread) losing by 11,3,14,14,28 pts. Gradkowski is from western PA, so this is special game for him, but Tampa has averaged 5.2 yds/pass in six of last seven games, not very good. Six of eight Buc losses are by 11+ points. After running ball 11 times for 21 yards LW, would expect Cowher to try and pound ball early, often.

Cardinals (2-9) @ Rams (5-6)-Rams ended five-game skid with last-minute win LW; they won first meeting 16-14 in desert (+4.5) in Week 3, despite starting eight of ten drives 80+ yards from goal- they forced four turnovers. For year, Rams are 0-4 if they don't win TO battle, but Arizona has only two takeaways in last four games (-7) and lost last week despite being first since '62 to score two 99-yard TDs in same game. Leinart threw for 395 yds, but team only ran ball six times whole game, tying all-time NFL low. Cardinals are 0-5 on road, losing by 11,22,13,17,5 points.

Colts (10-1) @ Titans (3-7)-Spunky Titans led 10-0 at half in Week 5 game at Indy, lost 14-13 late, despite running ball for 212 yards and holding Colts to season-low 5.4 yds/pass. Since then, Tennessee is 3-2, scoring 57 pts in last two games behind rookie QB Young, who engineered 24-pt fourth quarter in comeback win LW. Colts scored 29.5 pg in winning first four road games before loss at Dallas; they ran ball for 237 yds vs. Eagles, 83 yds more than any other '06 game, and second-highest total of Manning era. NFL home dogs in division games are 12-7 vs. spread this season.

Jaguars (6-5) @ Dolphins (5-6)-Miami is 4-0 since bye, holding foes to 13.3 pg (five TDs on 50 drives) and forcing 11 turnovers (they forced eight in first seven games). Jags are 1-4 on road, with losses by 7,6,20,3 pts. In their six wins, Jax allowed average of 6.7 pg, with two shutouts; in their five losses, they allowed average of 24.8 pg. Over last six games, Dolphins won 56.8% of third down plays. In last three games, Fish defense forced 17 3/outs on foes' 37 drives; in last four weeks, they outsacked opponents 17-2.

49ers (5-6) @ Saints (7-4)-Keep in mind Saints are 7-1 this season when turnover ratio is better than -3, but they lost last two home games, allowing 66 pts to pair of AFC foes (-7 TO ratio in two games). Niners won three of last four games (4-0 vs. spread) but blew late lead in St Louis LW, when they could have jumped into serious playoff contention- they're 1-4 on road (3-2 as road dog), winning only at Detroit. Over last six games, Saints won 56.2% of third down plays; they scored 31 pts in three of last four games- they scored 14 TDs on their last 46 drives. NFC West road dogs are 2-8 out of division.

Falcons (5-6) @ Redskins (4-7)-Atlanta in freefall, losing four games in row, amid rumors Mora's job in danger unless things turn around; they've lost four games in row, scoring 12.5 pg (five TDs on last 45 drives), and are 1-6 when they score less than 20 points. Skins lost five of last seven games but are 3-2 at home, with all five games decided by four or less pts, or in OT; over last five weeks, they've lost 57.7% of third down plays. Falcons need to pass better; they had 281 rushing yards LW, but in last two games combined, they've completed only 20-45 passes, for total of 134 yards.

Chiefs (7-4) @ Browns (3-8)- Cleveland just played two division rivals at home and managed zero offensive TDs on 20 drives; they also lost game where they scored TDs on both special teams and defense. One of the WRs screams at the QB on the bench, but the backup is Ken Dorsey, so the QB can't be benched, no matter how awful he is. Browns are 1-5 at home, while Chiefs won five of last six games, running ball for 423 yards in last two games. What is worse for a 3-8 team playing in front of their disgusted fans than having Larry Johnson's footprints on them all day?

Lions (2-9) @ Patriots (8-3)- Detroit lost last three games by 6,7, 17 points, scoring three TDs on 31 drives; they're 0-5 on road (0-5 as road dog) losing by 27,7,9,7,7 pts, but Bears, Miami are only teams to beat them by more than nine pts. Patriots are 3-3 at home, with wins by 2,10,4 points; this is sandwich game for them, in between Bears/surging Dolphins, but AFC teams routinely squash NFC clubs, so caution advised. Not to bust on the Lions' ineptitude, but they're -6 in turnovers (25th), -45 in incomplete passes (32nd), lost 54.6% of 3rd down plays (29th)and committed 14 more penalties than their opponents (T26th). Other than that, no problem….

Chargers (9-2) @ Bills (5-6)-Have to respect improved Bills (3-1 since bye, with loss by a point at Colts) but LT scored 14 TDs in last five games, more than any player ever in any five-game period, plus Bolts get star LB Merriman back from suspension for this. Marty played for Bills; his Chargers are 4-2 on road, scoring average of 39.8 pg in wins, 13,27 in only losses (both by a FG). Red flag for Bills is 395 rushing yards Texans, Jags put up on them last two weeks. SD scored 22 TDs on last 53 drives; they won last five games, even though they haven't led at half in any of last four.

Jets (6-5) @ Packers (4-7)- Pack allowed 69 points in losing last two games, allowing eight TDs on 26 drives, and only fifth-ever 200-yard rushing game on Monday Night Football, now play on short week vs. AFC foe (NFC 6-25 vs. AFC last six weeks) that is 3-2 on road. Jets are 5-1 if they score more than 17 pts, 0-3 if they score less than 17 and 1-1 if they score exactly 17. Green Bay beat Cardinals 31-14, won 23-17 at Minnesota three weeks ago; every other Pack foe scored 23+ this season. Last four Jet games stayed under total (33-31-10-37).

Cowboys (7-4) @ Giants (6-5)-Big Blue can right lot of wrongs with win here, which would give them series sweep of Dallas and upper hand in NFC East race; problem is, players don't seem to trust themselves or coaches-confidence has to be shaky after blowing 21-0 lead with 10:00 left vs. rookie QB in Nashville LW. Plus, Dallas has revenge on mind after 36-22 home loss in Week 7, when Giants outrushed Dallas 155-69 and had one of only two positive turnover ratios all season (+2). Cowboys won three in row, by 17,7,28 pts, scoring 13 TDs on just 27 drives- they're 36-67 (53.7%) on third down in Romo's five starts.

Texans (3-8) @ Raiders (2-9)- Oakland "reassigned" offensive coordinator this week; they've scored four TDs on last 54 drives (24 3/outs), but at some point, don't players have to get blame too? Raider defense playing better, allowing 10 TDs on last 74 drives over last seven games, but they've still lost four in row, by 16,4,4,7 points; problem is here, they're favored to win for first time all season, usually a bad spot. Houston lost four of last five games; when you draft for defense, then JP Losman goes 26-38/333 against you, then you screwed up royally by not drafting Vince Young, a Houston native.

Seahawks (7-4) @ Broncos (7-4)- Cutler makes first start at QB, as Plummer scapegoat for all Denver problems (as if he were one who changes RBs every year). Rookie QBs making their first career start are on 11-game losing streak, with Drew Henson in '04 last rookie QB to start, win game. Denver is 2-3 in last five games; they lost last two home games, allowing 69 pts. Seattle was 0-2 on road with Wallace starting; they're 2-1 on road with Hasselbeck, but wins were by combined total of five pts. NFC West road dogs are 2-8 vs. spread out of division this season, and AFC has killed the NFC.

Panthers (6-5) @ Eagles (5-6)-Philly lost five of last six games, have Garcia at QB, but with win here, they still tie for last playoff spot. Carolina scored 15 or less pts in four of last five games; they're 2-3 on road, with all five games decided by four or less points. Philly defense sagged last two weeks, allowing 446 rushing yards, 76 pts; they've given up 21+ pts in each of last three halves. In last seven games, Panther offense started 30 drives 80+ yards from end zone; they scored three FGs, no TDs and went 3/out 12 times, so offense not carrying own weight. Philly is just 3-3 at home.
