Six-Pack for Thursday

-- NFL has already gotten 500,000 ticket requests for the Giant-Dolphin game in London next October.

-- There are only six NFL franchises that haven't been in a Super Bowl.

-- 15 of the 32 NFL teams changed head coaches in the last two seasons.

-- There are six Pac-10 teams ranked in AP Top 25, for first time ever.

-- Gamblers bet $93.1M on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, as casinos pocketed a cool $12.9M.

-- Duke PG Greg Paulus' brother signed to play QB for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Interesting choice. I'm guessing the football coach at Duke isn't too fond of the Pauluses.

Thursday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

13) Lot of fuss made over college football signing day, but in fact, the real winners/losers won't be known for three years, at the earliest. Most college freshmen don't even play until their second year in college.

12) Only two of first 40 Super Bowl losers came back to win the Super Bowl the following season.

11) Rams, Giants both finished 8-8, but Rams will draft 13th, the Giants 20th. Lot of 8-8 teams this season.

10) NYPD is running radio ads looking for recruits up here in Albany. We're only 150 miles north of the Big Apple, but had never heard them do that before.

9) Johnny Damon is commissioner of something called the Professional Baseball Gaming League, a video game thing.

8) Diamondbacks come into Bronx June 12-14; will be fun to see if Arizona has Randy Johnson pitch there, or not.

7) Since 1990, the teams that lost the World Series, Stanley Cup finals and NBA Finals are combined 0-44 in trying to win the championship the following season.

6) Credit to Nebraska's hoop team, which won road games at Texas Tech, Missouri, after getting crushed on national TV by the Jayhawks last week.

5) Boston College's Jared Dudley wanted Oregon to offer him a scholarship, but Ducks offered Chamberlain Oguchi instead which now looks like a major mistake.

4) Duquesne won its fifth game in row Wednesday; they've scored 220 points in their last two road games.

3) Lorenzo Mata of UCLA was shooting 27% from foul line, going into their game with USC Wednesday. 27 freakin' %.

By the way, Arnold Schwarzenegger was shaking hands with John Wooden at UCLA-USC game last night. The governor is on crutches after a skiing accident last month.

2) Purdue outscored Michigan State 36-12 in second half, as Spartans lost fourth game in row. Game was tied at the half.

1) Marist won by a point Monday night; they made 16 of 32 3-pointers, but were only 7-15 from foul line. How does this happen? It happens way too often.

Fairfield at Marist
Fairfield continues to enjoy one of the better turnarounds in college basketball. After starting out 1-5 in MAAC play, the Stags have won seven straight conference games to put themselves just a game behind the front-runners, one of which is Marist. For the Red Foxes the season has been a little different. Early out-of-conference wins over Minnesota, Western Michigan and Old Dominion seemed to indicate that Marist would dominate the MAAC. But the Red Foxes have gone just 3-3 in their last six games, including a home loss to Niagara (83-75) on Jan. 26. Against an improved Fairfield team, the Vegas line favoring Marist (-9) looks too high according to Dunkel, which has the Stags favored straight up by 1. Dunkel Pick: Fairfield (+9). Here are all of today's games.

LA Lakers at Detroit
The Lakers have started out well (3-2) on their current eight-game road trip, but run into the best team in the East right now in Detroit. The Pistons have won eight of their last 10, including four of their last five at The Palace. The average margin of those victories has been just under 12 points. The Lakers struggled against Detroit's defense in a 97-83 home loss back in November as Kobe Bryant was held to just two points through the first three quarters. The Pistons look like a good pick to cover the Vegas line (-4 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has Detroit favored by 9 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Detroit (-4 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Los Angeles at Washington
While the Kings have not enjoyed much success lately, they have done well historically in Washington. The last time the Kings lost in Washington was April 4, 1998, going 4-0-1 since that time. Los Angeles did show some spark with a 7-0 whipping of the Panthers in Florida on Saturday and followed that up with a gritty performance in a 3-2 shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Washington, meanwhile, has lost four of its last five and nine of their last 12. The Kings look like a good underdog pick in this one according to Dunkel, which has L.A. favored straight up by 1/2 a goal. Dunkel Pick: Los Angeles (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
