Six-pack for Thursday

-- Arizona won, Padres lost, Snakes now lead NL West by 3.5 games; Padres lead Wild Card chase by another 2.5.

-- Colorado's 12-0 win at Philly gives them same record as Phillies at 76-69, tied for second in Wild Card chase.

-- Cubs won, Brewers lost; they're tied again in NL Central.

-- Orioles' lost 18-6; over their last 21 games, they allowed an average of 9.3 runs per game.

-- Is it me, or have there been lot more arguments with umps in latter part of season? Tensions are running high.

-- Nets are supposedly going to make an offer to free agent Allen Houston, who apparently is unretiring. He got $100M for doing almost nothing for Knicks for seven years, now he is making comeback and playing for their rival. Hmmmm

Thursday's List of 13: Questions for a late-summer day

13) Why didn't Eli Manning want to play in San Diego? He thrived in college, out of a national spotlight; he would have had the same situation with the Chargers. I am baffled.

12) Who will win a football game first, Notre Dame or Duke?

11) How does Ozzie Guillen get a contract extension through 2012? What would he have gotten if the White Sox had good season? Jerry Reinsdorf must be fun to work for.

10) How come when the Rutgers player drops her lawsuit vs Don Imus, it doesn't get nearly as much attention as when it was first filed? Funny how that works.

9) If you asked the execs at FOX Sports to name all the guys on Diamondbacks/Padres, out of 50, how many could they name? 15? 10? 8?

8) Was it me, or did both coaching staffs in Cardinal-49er tilt Monday night seem terrified to ask their QB to make a play?

7) If the Jets suspected the Patriots of spying, why did they keep sending in signals that way? Seems simple enough to deploy a different way to get the calls in.

6) If the Devil Rays ever let Carl Crawford go via free agency, could he go home and play in Houston? Considering that the left field seats are already called the Crawford Boxes (a street behind left field fence is Crawford Ave), and it makes sense.

5) How did Tony Kornheiser get on Monday Night Football? Who thought this was a good idea?

4) Do you think Carl Peterson hs spent any time making a list of coaches he'd want when he fires Herm Edwards after 2008? I mean, in a little more than a year, he's taken contending team and turned it into a sorry outfit.

3) Wouldn't a Cleveland-Milwaukee World Series be great?

2) If you're a Browns' fan, shouldn't you want Brady Quinn to sit and watch for a while, the better for his long-term future? What good would his getting pounded this season do?

1) If you were Peyton Manning, shouldn't you do brother Eli a favor and give him speaking role in one of the commercials, just so New York knows he has a semblance of a personality?

Week 3

TCU at Air Force
The loss to Texas last week had to be a demoralizer for TCU, which came in with high hopes of upsetting its instate rival and led 10-0 at halftime. But Texas went on a 20-0 run to start the second half as the Horns poked major holes in the TCU's vaunted defense. Meanwhile the Horned Frog offense -- never their strong point -- was held to just 43 yards on the ground and never really challenged the Texas D. Now Gary Patterson's team has to try to shake off the 34-13 beating and come back on short rest to play a tricky game at Air Force on Thursday night. The Falcons are under first-year head coach Troy Calhoun, but they certainly have to remember last year's 38-14 whipping at TCU in Fisher DeBerry's final game. And Air Force comes into this game with some new confidence after winning at Utah last week (20-12) behind a running attack that outgained the Utes 334-73. Even with their struggles in recent years, the Falcons are 8-1 ATS in the last nine home conference games when they are an underdog greater than 2 points. They look like a good pick (+8 1/2) to build on that record in this one according to Dunkel, which has TCU favored by just 5. Dunkel Pick: Air Force (+8). Here are all of this week's picks.

Thursday's college football info
West Virginia trailed 13-6 at half last week at Marshall, then won 48-23; they have 678 rushing yards in two games, also ran ball for 340 yards in LY's 45-24 home win vs Maryland (-17). Terps won at FIU last week, 26-10 (-24). WVa is 12-3-1 vs spread in last 16 tries as road favorite. Maryland is 4-3 as home dog since '01. WV star RB Slaton wanted to go to Maryland, wasn't offered a scholarship. Whoops.

TCU led Texas 10-0 at half last week, got drilled in second half, now has quick turnaround vs Air Force club that won 20-12 at Utah, as 8-point dog last week. Frogs led 38-0 against Flyboys last year, are 10-5-1 vs spread in last sixteen tries as a favorite. TCU had just 43 rushing yards last week; their only TD came on defense. Air Force covered just one of last six as a home dog. Tough to lay points on road with a freshman QB.

Friday's college football info
Troy just played Arkansas, Florida last two weeks, now open at home vs Oklahoma State club that whacked Florida Atlantic of Sun Belt 42-6 LW (-23) but benched starting QB Reid during the game. Cowboys covered seven of last nine as road fave; they're opening Big 12 schedule vs Texas Tech next week, so letdown a possibility, but ESPN's cameras probably prevent complacency. Trojans are 3-2 as home dog, beat Missouri here back in '03.

Week 3 of the college football season gets started on Thursday night with a pair of predicted blowouts that could be worth a look from bettors. In the early game, No. 4 West Virginia rumbles into Maryland, while TCU looks to get back into the Top 25 when they face Air Force.

West Virginia (4) at Maryland

The Mountaineers didn’t start out very well in their game against Marshall last week, but they picked it up in the second half to put together a 48-23 victory as a 26-point favorite. West Virginia actually trailed 13-6 at half time last week, but exploded for 42 points in the second half, which included outscoring the Thundering Herd 21-0 in the final quarter. Steve Slaton put up his usual impressive numbers with 24 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns. Versatile quarterback Pat White tore up the Marshall defense both through the air and on the ground, passing for 149 yards with two touchdowns and rushing for 125 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.

The Terrapins started the season 2-0 after sneaking past Florida International 26-10 last week as a 23-point favorite. The Terrapins’ offense was sluggish throughout the game, but luckily their defense was there to bail them out. The defense picked up a safety early in the first quarter and held the Golden Panthers to 163 yards of offense, including making an important defensive stand in the fourth quarter. Maryland quarterback Jordan Steffy had a lackluster game, completing 18-of-25 passes for 135 yards with no touchdowns while being sacked four times. Running back Keon Lattimore provided the bulk of the offense with 111 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries.

Last season the Mountaineers hosted the Terrapins and easily defeated Maryland 45-24 as a 17-point favorite. West Virginia has won the last three meetings between the two schools and is a 17.5-point favorite in Thursday night’s contest.

TCU at Air Force

The TCU Horned Frogs had high hopes heading into their game against Texas last week, but came away disappointed after a 34-13 loss as a 7.5-point underdog. The loss cost the Frogs their spot in the Top 25 rankings, as they fell out after being ranked at No. 19 last week. TCU started the game well enough with an early field goal and a Torrey Stewart interception of Texas QB Colt McCoy that he ran back for a touchdown. That gave TCU an early 10-0 lead, but it was all downhill after that. The TCU offense was stalled by the Longhorns all game long, as QB Andy Dutton completed 23-of-37 passes for 208 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. The Frogs’ ground game didn’t fare any better, as Ryan Christian led the team with 10 carries for 41 yards. The Frogs’ defense, which was coming off a 27-0 shutout of Baylor, was burned for 415 yards by the more powerful Longhorns.

Air Force remained undefeated on the season after knocking off Utah 20-12 as a 7-point favorite last week. The Falcons’ passing game was practically non-existent in the game, with QB Shaun Carney completing only 8-of-14 passes for 56 yards. The Air Force running game made up for the lack of a passing attack, with 334 yards on 63 carries between seven backs. Carney led the team with 113 yards on 16 carries, while Savier Stevens and Jim Ollis each had a TD run. The Air Force defense came up huge in the fourth quarter with two goal line stops with the Utes’ charging.

The Frogs stomped the Falcons last season 38-14 as a 17.5-point favorite. The Frogs are a 10-point favorite in the rematch.

Ohio University at #18 Virginia Tech (1:30 PM ET)

Virginia Tech will start true freshman Tyrod Taylor at QB for the first time after Sean Glennon was pulled out of the team's 48-7 loss at LSU due to poor play.

Virginia Tech is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 games vs. MAC opponents.
Virginia Tech is 5-1 in its last 6 after a SU loss.

Write-up

Sunday, September 16

Bills (0-1) @ Steelers (1-0) -- Pittsburgh was dominant in Week 1 win, with 27-yard edge in average field position, 206-46 rushing advantage and +4 turnover ratio, but Bills better than Cleveland. Steelers won six of last seven series games; this is Bills' 1st visit here since '96. Bills were outgained 470-184 by Denver, but they did get punt return TD that put 'em ahead early, so they tried to sit on lead a little. Buffalo seems to be getting good news about health of their player who injured his neck last week- thats good. Last five Steeler home openers went over the total.

Bengals (1-0) @ Browns (0-1) -- Short week and short travel for a Bengal team that ran ball for only 55 yards vs Ravens Monday; beware teams that win with 3+ turnovers (Bengals had four), but Browns traded their starting QB Monday, so assume Anderson gets start here, vs Cincy club they've beaten five times in row by average score of 34-20. Has to be at least a little chaotic for the home side, as fans want Quinn to play, but he can't be ready due to his holdout. LY, Bengals outscored Browns 34-3 in first half of their two meetings, converted 15 of 29 third down plays.

Colts (1-0) @ Titans (1-0) —Indy won seven of last eight series games, though LY’s tilts were decided by total of four (14-13I/20-17T) points; Titans controlled ball in both games, running for 423 yards, and after 282 rushing yards in win at Jacksonville, you know they’ll try to do same thing here. Colts ran ball for 164 yards, averaged 9.6 yards/pass attempt LW vs Saints, outscored NO 31-0 in second half. Titans covered last four tries as dog in their home opener; Colts are 6-1-1 vs. spread in last eight road openers- under is 12-5 in their last 17 road openers. Neither team allowed a point in second half last week.

Texans (1-0) @ Panthers (1-0) — David Carr was dumped by Texans in offseason, now is Carolina backup QB; Houston won first game without him, holding Chiefs to 219 yards, even though KC converted on nine of 13 third down plays. Texans had 13-yard edge in field position, had four takeaways, scored TD on defense, but they’ve lost last three road openers by 12-15-19 points, and are 1-4 vs. spread in last five road openers. Carolina scored just 13.3 pg in losing last three home openers; they’re 2-8 in last ten, and they’re 0-4 in home openers that weren’t in Week 1. Panthers ran ball for 186 yards LW, outgaining Rams 387-238. Texans won only previous meeting, 13-10 at home in ’03.

49ers (1-0) @ Rams (0-1) —Injuries to OT Pace and his backup Steussie leave Rams dangerously thin at tackle, a critical position; home side won nine of last eleven games in this rivalry, with Niners 1-7 in last eight visits to this site (five of seven losses by 10+ pts). 49ers gave up 33.3 pg in losing last four road openers; they’re traveling here on short week, after dramatic cut sloppy win in opener, where they were outrushed by 161-92, completed less than half their passes (15-31) but found a way to win at the end. Rams were outgained by 149 yards by Carolina and didn’t have one play gain 20+ yards (there were 61 overall in league last week).

Packers (1-0) @ Giants (0-1) —Health of QB Manning key issue for Giant club whose defense was riddled by Romo LW (23 yds/ completion); offense may have to outscore teams to win, going to inexperienced Lorenzen at QB not good for Coughlin’s shaky job security. Dallas gained 478 yards LW, had eight plays of 20+ yards, scoring six TDs on 11 drives. Pack defense is better than Cowboys’; they held Eagles 283 yards, and McNabb was just 15-33 passing. Pack offense struggled though, running for just 46 yards; they were only home team LW that didn’t score a TD on offense. Eight of ten Packer first downs were earned on third down plays. Manning had played one of his best games before coming out late with bruised shoulder.

Falcons (0-1) @ Jaguars (0-1) — Anytime pair of 0-1 teams meet, stakes are high, since 0-2 NFL clubs seldom make postseason. Harrington had rough Falcon debut, as Vikings scored pair of defensive TDs, including INT for TD with game 0-0, but he was given lousy field position throughout day; five of nine Atlanta drives started 80+ yards from paydirt- their average start point was 19-yard line, worst in NFL LW. Jaguars allowed ridiculously high 282 rushing yards (5.8/carry) in loss to Titans- they ran ball for only 72 yards themselves and were outgained by 78 yards. Falcons were one of six teams not to score offensive TD LW; they never even got inside Minnesota red zone.

Saints (0-1) @ Bucs (0-1) — New Orleans won four of last five visits to this site; they swept Bucs LY (24-21/31-14), outsacking Bucs 6-0 in two games, and holding Tampa to 9-27 on third down. Bucs went 3/out on 11 of 24 drives vs. Saints LY, but NO defense gave up 452 yards in opener at Indy, 164 on ground, while Saints’ only TD came on defense score in second quarter. Bucs had 13-yard disadvantage in field position LW; six of their ten drives started 80+ yards from goal line. Bucs lost four of last five home openers, scoring 8.5 pg in last four—under is 12-3 in their last fifteen home openers. Saints had three extra days to prepare, after playing in Thursday night season opener.

Vikings (1-0) @ Lions (1-0) — Minnesota won last ten series tilts, , winning last five in Motown by 2-10-1-5-10 points; last year, they outrushed Lions 307-13, converted 56.3% of third down plays, forced 10 turnovers, held Detroit to 7-22 on third down. Vikings, though, are 2-4 in last six road openers, scoring 14.3 pg in last three. Lions covered nine of last eleven home openers. Last wk, they had 17-0 lead, blew it, but then scored game’s last 16 points in 36-21 win- three of their four TD drives started in Oakland territory. Vikings had six sacks, cored two defensive TDs LW; they won 56% of third down plays, but never took snap inside Falcon red zone, scoring only offensive TD on long run after short pass to rookie Peterson.

Cowboys (1-0) @ Dolphins (0-1) — Dallas averaged 23 yards/ completion LW (15-24/327) but also gave up 438 yards to Giant club that lacks great runner and is largely one-dimensional. Cowboys lost five of last seven road openers, Miami lost three of last four home openers. Miami was outgained 400-273 last week vs. Redskins, running for only 66 yards- they were one of only three teams that had an edge in field position last week but lost. Dallas had eight plays of 20+ yards LW, most in NFL, but their opponent had five, the second-most in league. Under is 11-4 in Miami’s last fifteen home openers, but nine of last ten Dallas road openers went over, with average total in their last four, 52.4.

Seahawks (1-0) @ Cardinals (0-1) — Arizona on short week, hosting NFC West kingpin that had five sacks and +13 yard edge in field position in 20-6 home win last week. Home side won six of last seven series games, with four of last five series totals 45+; Seattle won three of last four road openers, allowing seven or less points in four of last six road debuts. Seahawks lost two of last three visits here, with average total in three games, 47.3. Arizona had 20 penalties for 143 yards in two games vs. Seattle LY, 10 more for 71 yards in sloppy loss Monday night, when falling on a loose ball in end zone in last 2:00 could have given Cardinals much-needed road win. Arizona also lost their center Monday night.

Jets (0-1) @ Ravens (0-1) — Health of Pennington key media point this week, but Oregon alum Clemens more than capable if prepared, though Raven defense would be tough one to break in against, even with Lewis hampered by tricep injury. Favorite covered Baltimore’s last six home openers, with Ravens 4-0 as favorite in first home game of year; they’re 5-2 in last seven home openers, overall. Ravens won last four games vs. Jets by average score of 23-13- only one of the four came by less than ten points. Lot of distractions for Jets this week, since many think Mangini turned Pats into league office for video piracy of Jets’ coaching signals. Short week for Baltimore, after loss Monday night.

Chiefs (0-1) @ Bears (0-1) — Struggling KC offense (219 total yards, 72 rushing; four turnovers, no TDs at Houston) not likely to find its way vs. brutal Bear defense that shut Chargers out for half last week. Now, also tough to lay double-digit spread with Grossman-led offense that scored three points LW, running ball for 80 yards, turning itl over four times, completing just 12 of 23 passes, but you figure Chicago is good for defensive score, even with star safety Brown now out for year. Schaub was 16-22/187 passing vs. Chiefs LW, but Houston converted just 3-11 on third down, as Chief defense kept team in game until offense totally unraveled. Four of Chicago’s last five home openers went over the total.

Raiders (0-1) @ Broncos (0-1) — Shanahan despises Al Davis over $250,000 he got stiffed out of after Davis fired him; Broncos won seven of last eight series games, with six of seven wins by 10+ points; last year’s wins were 13-3/17-13 games, with total yardage almost exactly even. Five of last seven series totals were 34 or less. Raiders lost last four road openers, by 5-3-10-22 pts; seven of their last eight road openers went over total, but four of Denver’s last five home openers stayed under. Broncos won last seven home openers (6-1 vs. spread). Oakland showed spunk LW, rallying from 17-0 down to take lead in 4th quarter; new QB McCown was 30-40/253 passing, so Raiders have passing game, nd therefore, backdoor capability.

Chargers (1-0) @ Patriots (1-0) — Patriots stunned Chargers in playoffs LY, as Bolts lost three fumbles, completed just 14-32 passes, but now SD has new coaches, same players, and revenge on their mind. NE won 11 of last 13 series games, seven of last eight at this site, but Chargers did win here 41-17 in ’05. Pats won last five home openers, by 16-7-3-10-2 points; they’re 5-2-1 vs. spread as favorite in home opener. No idea if VideoGate is distraction in Foxboro, but hard to buck Belichick/Brady in these big games, and this is a big game, especially for Chargers, who didn’t score in first half vs. Bears last week, while Patriots were drilling division rival Jets in Swamp.

Monday, September 17

Redskins (1-0) @ Eagles (0-1) — Hopefully Philly found someone who can catch a punt; they’ve won nine of last 11 vs. Redskins, taking four of last five here, with wins by 13-2-22-24 points. Last year, Iggles won 27-3/21-19, outscoring Skins by combined 38-9 in first half of those games. Washington ran ball for 356 yards vs. Philly LY, but didn’t score TD (four FGs) in four trips to Eagle red zone. Skins lost five of last seven road openers, but are 7-4 as dog in their first road game of season. Philly scored 32.3 pg in last three home openers, with six of last eight going over total. Skins held Miami to 66 rushing yards LW, were one of only three teams that won despite losing field position battle.are 3-2 as home dog, beat Missouri here back in '03.

Los Angeles Galaxy at Chivas USA – (+275, draw +225, -120)
Thursday, Sept. 13

It’s highly unlikely that the Galaxy can make the playoffs this season. But maybe they can restore some pride to their organization.

They snapped a six-game unbeaten streak with a 3-1 win over Colorado on Sunday and can lift themselves off the bottom of the Eastern Conference with another victory on Thursday.

The Galaxy are paying the price for some MLS bureaucracy this season. When they announced David Beckham’s arrival, the league scheduled most of their games in the second half of the season, putting too much pressure on the squad.

Los Angeles played six MLS games and two cup matches in August. As the fixtures went by, the injury list kept growing and the results got worse. Last week, for the first time since July, they had a full seven days rest. Abel Xavier, Landon Donovan and Ty Harden all had time to nurse niggling injuries, and the turnaround was instant. When Sunday’s game rolled around, the Galaxy played with a freshness and determination that had been lacking for months.

Even without Beckham, now sidelined with a long-term knee injury, the Galaxy now have a chance at getting some momentum back in their season.

Chivas topped Los Angeles 3-0 in an ill-tempered game just two weeks ago. But with Sunday's win under their belts, and a chance to get off the bottom of the table, the Galaxy might just have the confidence to exact revenge this week.

Pick: Los Angeles +275
