Weekend Sports Preview

Friday, August 31

For sports fans and bettors, this weekend is one of the busiest in months as college football kicks off to join an already overloaded schedule that includes baseball, NFL preseason, CFL, WNBA playoffs and NASCAR.

The college football season began on Thursday with 11 games, but that’s nothing compared to the 55 games on Saturday. The Top 10 teams in action on Saturday include Appalachian State at No. 5 Michigan, East Carolina at No. 9 Virginia Tech, Western Kentucky at No. 6 Florida, W. Michigan at No. 3 West Virginia, Washington State at No. 7 Wisconsin, North Texas at No. 8 Oklahoma, Arkansas State at No. 4 Texas, and Idaho at No. 1 USC.

The NFL preseason season concludes on Friday with two games. The final preseason doubleheader has Baltimore traveling to Atlanta and Indianapolis taking on Cincinnati.

Up north on the Canadian gridiron this weekend, there is a single game on Friday and one on Sunday. On Friday Montreal visits BC, while Sunday’s game has Winnipeg battling Saskatchewan.

On the diamond this weekend, with one month left in the season teams are pulling away in the American League playoff races, while the National League races are all tightening up.

In the NL this weekend, the matchups to watch include the Mets at Atlanta and the Dodgers at San Diego. Other series with playoff implications include Houston at the Cubs, Philadelphia at Florida, Pittsburgh at Milwaukee, Cincinnati at St. Louis and Colorado at Arizona. The other NL series this weekend pits San Francisco against Washington.

In the AL this weekend, there are no matchups between two teams in the playoff hunt. The series that are important to playoff positions are Baltimore at Boston, the White Sox at Cleveland, Tampa Bay at the Yankees, Seattle at Toronto, Detroit at Oakland and Texas at the Angels. Also on tap in the AL is Kansas City at Minnesota.

The WNBA playoffs continue this weekend with the Conference finals. Game 1 in the Eastern Conference finals tips off Friday night between Detroit and Indiana. Game 2 in the Western Conference finals follows on Saturday between Phoenix and San Antonio. All four teams are in action on Sunday as the Shock and Fever face off in Game 2, while the Mercury and Silver Stars clash in Game 3 if necessary.

The Nextel Cup Series inches closer to the Chase this weekend at the California Speedway in the Sharp AQUOS 500. Carl Edwards clinched a spot in the Chase with a win at Bristol last week and he’ll be looking for another checkered flag this weekend. Kasey Kahne won this race last season, but he’s had a terrible season so far and is still looking for his first victory. The favorites this weekend are points leader Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart, who has climbed to No. 2 in the points race after tearing up the track recently.

Six-pack for Friday

Phillies 11, Mets 10, one of stranger games of the season....

-- The two starting pitchers combined to throw 154 pitches in just 6.2 innings- pitchers struggled all day long.

-- It took four hours to play nine innings; there were a total of 366 pitches thrown.

-- Pat Burrell hit pair of taters, now has 41 career homers vs the Mets, the most of any active player.

-- Pinch-hitters on either side were 5-8 in the game, adding to all the late-inning drama.

-- Mets scored five runs in 8th, in part because Phils walked Jose Reyes intentionally, despite him being 1-13 in series. Lets just say Phillies' fans weren't happy with that move.

-- Then Mets asked Billy Wagner to get them six-out save, something he hasn't done since July 4, 1999. He blew save, Utley got winning hit, and Phillies had a four-game sweep.

Friday's List of 13: Wrapping up a terrific Thursday

13) Late Thursday night, USA hoop team put a hurting on the Argentinians, 91-76; keep in mind the better Argentinians are not in this tournament, but will be next summer in Beijing.

12) Diamondbacks salvaged last game of series in San Diego; after leading 8-0 in 7th, Padres had tying run on second in 8th inning, tying run at plate in 9th, before Valverde got the save.

11) Mariners lost sixth game in row, walking in winning run in bottom of 9th inning; they're now 5.5 games out of first, and a game behind Bronx in Wild Card standings.

10) After starting season 24-10, and inspiring hope of a first winning season since '92, the Brewers lost again at Wrigley, are now a game under .500 and sinking fast.

9) NFL prediction you'll scoff at: Texans make the playoffs.

8) Tennessee Vols' QB Ainge will play with broken pinky on his passing hand; Doug Flutie said on TV it will only bother him on snaps, since pinky isn't on the ball when it is passed.

7) Jose Reyes is now 10 for his last 50, and you wonder if he isn't tired; am guessing he'll get more rest next season.

6) I wanted to buy '78 Padres' retro jersey, a brown one with mustard-colored sleeves, the kind they wore when they had Randy Jones and Ozzie Smith, but the damn thing cost $375; a real jersey from today only costs $160. Freakin' crooks.

5) Notre Dame only has eight scholarship seniors this year, one of whom is a long snapper they just gave a scholarship to. Very hard to win with that kind of a team.

4) There are 32 bowl games this season, meaning 64 out of a possible 120 teams will go bowling; so if you're a coach, and your team isn't in a bowl, your job is in jeopardy.

3) The strength coach at Oklahoma State has this job title: Assistant Athletic Director for speed and strength. Now that is a pithy title for job that has become more important of late.

2) Kid named Renaldo Sidney is top-ranked high school kid in basketball class of '09; his first recruiting letter came from the Alabama Crimson Tide. When he was in the 7th grade.

1) Hawai'i is a game short on its schedule for this season; in fact, they were two games short, and had to schedule a I-AA team, Northern Colorado, because they couldn't find anyone with the cajones to play them. Shame on Michigan and Ohio State, both of whom would beat Hawai'i, but both of whom are opening season with I-AA opponents. Very gutless.

WNBA
Capsule previews of the first-round WNBA playoff series

A look at WNBA's conference finals series, which started Thursday:

EASTERN CONFERENCE

No. 1 Detroit (24-10) vs. No. 2 Indiana (21-13)

Season series: Tied 2-2, with each team winning once on the other's court.

Detroit: The defending champions survived a tough challenge from fourth-place New York in the opening round, outlasting the Liberty 71-70 in overtime in Game 3 to advance. The Shock were dominant in the regular season before cruising down the stretch and losing the last four games after clinching home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. All-Star game MVP Cheryl Ford (13.0 points, 11.2 rebounds in 15 games) returned for the playoffs after aggravating her sprained left knee on July 20 and sitting out the rest of the season. She was scoreless in nearly 11 minutes in the opener against New York, then had 11 points and 10 rebounds in 26 1/2 minutes in Game 2 and 17 points and 10 rebounds in 39 minutes in the series finale. Deanna Nolan averaged a career-high 16.3 points and 4.4 rebounds during the season, and increased those numbers to 18.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in the first round. The Shock, mostly reliant on their inside game, were 19.5 percent (8-for-41) on 3-pointers against New York. Nolan averaged 19.7 points and Katie Smith 17.0 to help the Shock win two of the first three meetings against the Fever this season.

Indiana: The Fever also overcame a big challenge in the first round, completing a playoff-record 22-point comeback and outlasting Connecticut 93-88 in overtime at home in Game 3 to advance. The Fever matched their franchise-record win total from the previous two seasons, becoming the first team in the East to reach 20 victories in three straight years. Indiana lost perennial All-Star Tamika Catchings to a partial tear in her left foot on July 20 and lost nine of its last 14 games. Like the Shock's Ford, Catchings didn't play again until the opening game of the playoffs and had 14 points and 20 rebounds in the Fever's loss. For the series, she averaged 19.7 points and 15.3 rebounds, up from the 16.0 and 9.0, respectively, she was producing before her injury. Anna DeForge led the way for Indiana, scoring 25.0 points per game, and Tamika Whitmore added 20.0 points and 8.0 rebounds. Veteran center Tammy Sutton-Brown had 14.3 points per game in the four meetings against the Shock, and Whitmore added 10.0 points and 5.6 rebounds.

Prediction: Fever in 3.

---

WESTERN CONFERENCE

No. 1 Phoenix (23-11) vs. No. 2 San Antonio (20-14)

Season series: Mercury won 3-1, sweeping at San Antonio and splitting two games at home.

Phoenix: The Mercury swept Seattle in the opening round, closing out the series with a 95-89 victory in Game 2 for their first postseason series win since 1998. Second-year forward Cappie Pondexter led the way against the Storm, averaging 23.0 points, followed by Diana Taurasi (21.0) and Penny Taylor (20.0). The Mercury won 11 of their last 12 games to earn the West's top seed while returning to the postseason for the first time since 2000. As part of coach Paul Westhead's frenetic pace, Phoenix averaged a league-best 89.0 points - topping 100 in eight games. Taurasi led the Mercury with 19.2 points per game, and Taylor added career highs with 17.8 points and 6.3 rebounds while appearing in every game for the third time in seven seasons in the WNBA. Pondexter (17.2) and veteran Tangela Smith (12.6) also scored in double digits. The Mercury led the league in field-goal shooting (43.9 percent), free-throw shooting (81.7 percent), assists (20.1 per game) and blocks (4.7). Taurasi averaged 23.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in four games against San Antonio, and Smith added 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds.

San Antonio: The Silver Stars used their home-court advantage to beat reigning two-time WNBA finalist Sacramento in the first round, advancing on Vickie Johnson's last-second basket in an 80-78 victory in Game 3. Becky Hammon and second-year forward Sophia Young averaged 19.3 points apiece against the Monarchs, and 11th-year veteran Johnson (9.7 points) and Young averaged 5.7 rebounds. The Silver Stars had their most successful season since moving from Utah in 2003. Hammon, brought over from New York in a draft-day trade, had career highs of 18.8 points and 5.0 assists in 28 games. Young added 16.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, and Johnson had 8.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Ruth Riley, who won two championships in Detroit, provides a strong veteran presence, and Shanna Crossley has emerged as a key reserve after averaging 15.2 points in the last nine games of the season. San Antonio was third in the league in scoring defense (73.1), but 12th in rebounding (32.0). Young averaged 19.8 points and 9.5 rebounds in four games against the Mercury, and Hammon added 17.8 points. Crossley scored 21 points in the teams' final meeting on Aug. 2.

Prediction: Mercury in 2.

Friday, August 31

Montreal (5-3) @ BCLions (5-2-1) -- Alouettes won four games in row, are 2-1 on road (losing 32-23 at Winnipeg); four of their last five games stayed under total. Lions needed bye after 0-2-1 skid that followed 5-0 start; they've allowed 402 rushing yards in last three games, and both losses happened at home, which is alarming. BC covered one of five as favorite this season.

Saturday's college football information
Top 10 Games of Week

Ole Miss starting less-mobile, more dependable Adams at QB in place of Tennessee transfer Schaeffer; Rebels beat Memphis the last two years (10-6/28-25), but Ole Miss covered just six of last 15 on road, lost nine of last 10 SU on road. Tigers covered four of last 12 as dog; they have senior QB and four starters back on OL. Ole Miss is 2-6 vs spread as road favorite since 2001.

Wisconsin is 11-5-1 vs spread in last 17 tries as home fave; they covered six of last seven non-league games, last four openers. Washington State has senior QB with 28 starts; they are 6-4 vs spread in last ten road games, but are 3-5 as road dog last three seasons. Badgers have four starters back on OL, but also have new QB, who has started only two games in his college career.

Georgia Tech won last three road openers, all vs ranked teams; they lost 14-10 to Notre Dame LY (+6.5); they were outgained in that game, 384-259. Irish are 6-13 in last 19 tries as home favorite, 4-8 under Weis. Tech is 9-5 vs spread on road last three years; they have new QB, which will be improvement, because Ball was horrible. Irish have only nine starters back (4 offense, 5 defense)

Missouro-Illinois is annual hoop game in St Louis; now they are doing it in football too; good idea. Mizzou won last five openers is 10-6 vs spread in last 16 games away from home. Illini is 8-28 SU last three years, 4-7 vs spread in last 11 non-league games. Both sides have three seniors starting on OL; biggest variable is how much did Illini's Williams improve as a passer?

Home side won eight of last nine UCLA-Stanford games; Bruins won last visit here 30-27 (OT) in '05. First game for Harbaugh as Cardinal coach; they have senior QB who started seven games when Edwards was hurt LY. UCLA is 3-6 vs spread as a favorite on road under Dorrell; they had seven sacks in 31-0 home win vs Cardinal LY, but have junior QB with only five starts.

Deacons are 11-6 vs the spread in last 17 ACC games. BC was 42-57/402 passing in last year's 21-14 loss to Wake. Eagles have senior QB with 18 starts, but have new coach- they're 5-2-1 in last eight as a home fave.

Great chance for explosive Oklahoma State to play on national stage at Georgia, where Dawgs are just 5-10-1 in last sixteen as a home favorite, and have SEC rival South Carolina on deck. OSU covered eight of last 11 non-league games, but they've been bad on road (just 7-19 as road dog, 2-6 with Gundy). OSU QB Reid is vet with 19 starts. Georgia has soph QB with eight starts.

Underdog covered four of last five Colorado-Colorado St games with last five all decided by seven or less pts, and four decided by five or less.

State has a senior QB with 17 career starts.

Kansas State covered two of last seven as road dog, and three of last 11 non-league games; they have soph QB with five starts under his belt, vs Auburn defense with seven starters back, so they'll be tough. Tigers have senior QB, but new punter, kicker, long snapper, and four new starters on OL. K-State got good by scheduling weak teams early; this game is cash grab by them.

Tennessee waxed Cal LY, 35-18, in game that was 35-3 after 3rd quarter; Vols outgained Bears 514-336, and had four TD plays of 40+ yards. Cal covered just two of last seven non-league games.
