NY Islanders at Ottawa
The holiday break didn't slow down Islanders' goalie Rick DiPetro as he recorded his second straight shutout last night (2-0) over the Rangers. It was also the second straight win for New York and the fourth in five games. The Isles have also enjoyed success in the second game of back-to-back contests as they bring a 6-0 mark to Ottawa tonight. The Senators did pick up a win on Saturday (6-3) over lower-rated Philadelphia, but have been a disappointment so far with an 18-18-1 record that has them in last place in the Northeast Division. The Islanders look like a solid underdog pick in this one according to Dunkel, which has New York favored straight up by 1 1/2. Dunkel Pick: New York Islanders (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Six-Pack for Wednesday

Andy Reid is now 12-4 against Cowboys, 5-3 vs. Parcells.

Don't look now, but the PGA Tour starts next Thursday.

Jeff Foster of Pacers had 1 point, 16 rebounds last night; its not easy to get 16 rebounds, and score only 1 point.

Ron Dayne has 429 rushing yards the last four games, as he makes his case for an '07 contract.

Classless move by the Giants, making Hufnagel the lone scapegoat for what ails them; if they wanted to do this, it should have happened last month, or not at all.

President Ford passed away last night, at age 93. We all should live to be 93. He seemed like as much a regular guy as a President can be. We could use someone like him now.

[Udog]

Wednesday's List of 13:

13 things I'd like to see in 2007

13) I'd like to see the Saints win the Super Bowl.

12) I can't wait to see how Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson co-exist in Denver.

11) I want to see Randy Johnson go back to National League and win 20 games.

10) I'm looking forward to seeing Air Force and Winthrop win NCAA tourney games.

9) I'd like to see Kurt Warner get a shot at being the Bears' starting QB next season.

8) I'd like to see Royals sweep Boston in their opening series next April, just to set off panic in Beantown, especially if new ace Matsuzaka gets wracked in his first start.

7) I want the Rams to draft linemen. A lot of them. Big guys.

6) I want ESPN to let football guys announce Monday Night Football, or at least people who understand the game.

5) I want our country to nominate two people for President where we look at them and say, "I'll be happy no matter which one wins." We need the next President to be a good one.

4) I'd like to see Clemson win the ACC hoop tournament.

3) I'd like to see Ken Griffey Jr get 550 at-bats one more time.

2) I'd like to see Jim Rice get elected to the Hall of Fame.

1) I'd like it if Alabama regrets firing Mike Shula, but I'd like it even more if they gave Mike Price a second chance to coach the Tide. Who doesn't deserve a second chance?

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27

Florida State vs. UCLA
The Bruins shook up the BCS with their 13-9 win over USC that capped a strong turnaround for the Bruins in the month of December. UCLA didn't look like it would even make a bowl when the Bruins dropped four straight to Oregon, Notre Dame, Washington State and Cal to leave them with a 4-5 record. But three straight wins over bowl-eligible Oregon State (25-7), Arizona State (24-12) and USC earned the Bruins an invite to today's Emerald Bowl against Florida State. What may have been most surprising about UCLA's turnaround was the performance of the defense, which allowed just an average of 9.33 points in the three wins. That defensive surge should help against a Florida State offense that ranked 80th in the nation (332.6 yards per game) and cost offensive coordinator Jeff Bowden his job. Overall it was a disappointing season for the 6-6 Seminoles, who haven't beaten a bowl-eligible team since defeating Rice back on September 23. The streaking Bruins look like a solid pick to cover the Vegas line (-4 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has UCLA favored by 16. Dunkel Pick: UCLA (-4 1/2).

Game 403-404: Florida State vs. UCLA (in San Francisco, CA)
Dunkel Ratings: Florida State 89.492: UCLA 105.661
Dunkel Line: UCLA by 16; 39
Vegas Line: UCLA by 4 1/2; 41 1/2
Dunkel Pick: UCLA (-4 1/2); Under
