Indianapolis Colts at Carolina Panthers (CBS | 1 PM ET)

This is a very difficult situational setting for Indianapolis having to play a dangerous and “rested” Carolina team coming of their bye week while the Colts have one less day to prepare for this contest after playing at Jacksonville on Monday night. The Coltss also have New England on deck, so this could be a look-ahead spot for them. EDGE: PANTHERS
Some might argue the Colts come into this contest right where they want to be, as the Patriots have stolen much of the spotlight. Nevertheless, the Colts still possess the leagues No. 3 offense in the NFL averaging 399 yards per game, and their defense has been equally impressive ranked fifth in the league. Indianapolis is also getting healthier as RB Joseph Addai (chest), WR Marvin Harrison (knee), SS Bob Sanders (ribs) and LB Freddie Keiaho (concussion) are all returning to full strength. EDGE: COLTS
Team insiders are still uncertain who will be under center for Carolina. Starting QB Jake Delhomme is out for the season and his backup David Carr had a back injury that sidelined him the last game. So it's possible that 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde could play in his second game this season. The loss of Delhomme has resulted in the offense struggling over the past three weeks, averaging just 15 points per game. EDGE: COLTS
Carolina remains one of the best betting propositions as an underdog, coming into this contest on a 20-5-2 ATS run in that situation.
The Colts are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a SU win.
The Colts are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite.
The Panthers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.
The Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
The UNDER is 5-2 in Indy's last 7 games following a win more than 14 points.


Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (FOX | 1 PM ET)

League insiders believe that this may be one of the most important games this week. Green Bay is 5-1 and in first place, but the Lions sit at 4-2 and the improving Bears at 3-4 are certainly within striking distance. A victory for Chicago could put the team in excellent position to make a run for the playoffs following the bye week. SLIGHT EDGE: BEARS
This is an off-surface for the Lions, who play on turf in their home stadium. So far this season they have not done well when hitting the road playing on grass. Over the past two seasons, Detroit has lost both games played at Chicago by a combined score of 72-13. In their last two away contests (both on grass) this season, they have lost to the Eagles and Redskins by a combined score of 90-24 and were out-gained by a total of 326 yards in those contests. BIG EDGE: BEARS
Chicago is also looking to avenge a 37-27 loss at Detroit earlier this season. The Bears were embarrassed in that contest as they were leading 13-3 in the fourth quarter until Detroit scored an NFL-record 34 points in the fourth quarter. SLIGHT EDGE: BEARS
The Detroit defense is a mess, giving up 385 yards per game, which is third-worst in the NFL. That could prove to be bad news against this Chicago offense that is averaging an impressive 26 points per game since QB Brian Griese took over as the starter. EDGE: BEARS
The Lions are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against a losing team.
The Lions are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games.
The Bears are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against the NFC.
The Bears are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite.
The underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.


Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (CBS | 1 PM ET)

League insiders were a bit surprised about last Sunday night’s loss against an under-performing Denver team, considering how impressive Pittsburgh's overall numbers have been. They come into this contest ranked sixth in total offense and second in rushing with 159 yards on the ground per game. Their defensive numbers are equally impressive, ranking No. 1 in the NFL and allowing a meager 250 yards per game while outscoring opponents by a 26-13 average. EDGE: STEELERS
Cincinnati comes into this contest with one of the worst defensive teams in the NFL, allowing 31 points and 384 yards per game, which ranks 29th in the league. Even more concerning for the defense is that the Steelers have a very balanced offense that excels at running the football led by RB Willie Parker. EDGE: STEELERS
The Steelers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss.
The Steelers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
The Bengals are 3-8-1 in their last 12 games against a winning team.
The Bengals are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog.
The underdog is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.


New York Giants vs. Miami Dolphins at London, England (FOX | 1 PM ET)

This is yet another terrible matchup for Miami fresh off a blowout loss to New England in which the team's defense was shredded for 359 yards through the air. The Dolphins take on another surging team with a strong passing attack. The Giants come into this contest winners of five in a row and their offense is averaging an impressive 26 points per game. EDGE: GIANTS
Some team insiders are still concerned about this Miami defense (which was suppose to me one of the best in the league) that has been decimated with injuries and has given up 16, 37, 31, 35, 22, 41 and 49 points in their seven losses (33 points per game on average). The defense gave up 400 yards to Washington, including 191 rushing, 166 yards rushing to Dallas, 141 rushing to the Jets, 299 yards rushing to the Raiders, 140 rushing to the Browns and then were dismantled by New England, giving up 443 total yards with most of the Patriots reserves playing the entire second half of the game. BIG EDGE: GIANTS
Going into the contest with New England, Miami’s one bright spot was RB Ronnie Brown, who injured his knee and is now out for the season. BIG EDGE: GIANTS
The Giants are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against a losing team.
The Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.
The Dolphins are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU loss.
The Dolphins are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games on grass.
The OVER is 8-2 in New York's last 10 games overall.


Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings (FOX | 1 PM ET)

Minnesota team insiders are reporting that Minnesota head coach Brad Childress has been pushing his players hard this week in practice as this is the contest he wants his team to win. Childress was the former offensive coordinator for the Eagles and left the team on bad terms. EDGE: VIKINGS
One league insider believes that there is “a lot of potential” in this Eagles team as they have had little trouble moving the football, but they just are not getting it done in the red zone. The Eagles scored touchdowns on 55.5 percent of their red-zone trips from 2000 through last season, but they are just 28th this season, scoring less than a third of their trips inside the 20. EDGE: VIKINGS
League insiders are quick to point out that this is still an Eagles offensive unit that is struggling. Despite a 56-point effort against the Lions, the Eagles have struggled to put up points, as that is the only time they have scored more than 16 points this season. On the season, the Eagles are averaging only 12 points per contest. EDGE: VIKINGS
The Vikings defense is No. 1 in the NFL against the run, but last against the pass allowing 288 yards in the air each game.
Team insiders are uncertain who will be under center this weekend for Minnesota as starting quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has a broken finger on his throwing hand. Backup Kelly Holcomb will have to play if Jackson cannot perform this week in practice. Keep in mind Holcomb was in camp with the Eagles in the preseason before being traded to Minnesota and should have a good understanding of Philly's defense. (Check status on the Pregame Wire) SLIGHT EDGE: VIKINGS
The Eagles are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against a losing home team.
The Eagles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against the NFC.
The Vikings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.
The Vikings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog.
The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.


Cleveland Browns at St. Louis Rams (CBS | 1 PM ET)
St. Louis welcomed back starting QB Marc Bulger last week, but he spent more time on the ground than on his feet as he was sacked seven times by the Seahawks while throwing three interceptions. However, Bulger is expected to get RB Steven Jackson back this week from a groin injury, which should help take some major pressure off him. EDGE: RAMS
The Rams are 30th in total offense, averaging just 10 points per game and their defense ranks 23rd in the league. Their main concern is a rushing defense that is allowing over 130 yards per game, which is not good news against an improving and rested Cleveland offensive line off a bye week. EDGE: BROWNS
Cleveland has enjoyed an extra week of preparation for this contest. The team's offense is averaging 28 points per game, but the defense is second-worst in the NFL, allowing 413 yards per game. One particular concern is the team's rush defense that has allowed over 110 yards rushing in every game as the Browns are giving up 30 points per game. EDGE: RAMS
The Browns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
The Browns are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU win.
The Rams are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog.
The Rams are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
The UNDER is 6-1 in St. Louis' last 7 games overall.


Oakland Raiders at Tennessee Titans (CBS | 1 PM ET)

Oakland comes into this contest with a very conservative offensive ideology, averaging an impressive 147 yards rushing per game, good for fourth in the NFL. However, Tennessee's defense is ranked No. 1 in the NFL against the rush, so Oakland should have trouble moving the football this weekend. SLIGHT EDGE: TITANS
Tennessee QB Vince Young was available to play against the Texans last week, but head coach Jeff Fisher elected to give him more time to recover from a strained right quadriceps. Young is probable for this game and should start. EDGE: TITANS
The Raiders are 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games against a winning team.
The Raiders are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring less than 15 points.
The Titans are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against the NFC.
The Titans are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games.
The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.


Buffalo Bills at New York Jets (CBS | 4:05 PM ET)

League insiders are interested to see how the Buffalo offense performs against what they classify as a “terrible” Jets defensive unit. On the season, Buffalo has struggled to put points on the board, averaging just 14 points per game. The Jets defense is ranked 28th in the NFL, allowing a whopping 377 yards per game, including 138 on the ground. EDGE: BILLS
Buffalo head coach Dick Jauron announced that former backup QB Trent Edwards has taken over as the permanent starter. Edwards has done a solid job, with wins over the Jets and Ravens to his credit. EDGE: BILLS
Team insiders are reporting that the Jets lockerroom was completely demoralized after giving up getting outscored 28-11 in the second half of their 38-31 loss against Cincinnati last week. Embattled QB Chad Pennington got off to a strong start that may have earned him another shot to keep his job this week, but he did not perform well in the second half, throwing an interception for a TD that helped seal the win for the Bengals in the fourth quarter. Pennington will start this game but could be on a short leash with heralded youngster Kellen Clemens waiting in the wings. EDGE: BILLS
The Bills are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win.
The Bills are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall.
The Jets are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games against a losing team.
The Jets are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite.
The home team is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings.


Houston Texans at San Diego Chargers (CBS | 4:05 PM ET)

Team insiders are becoming increasingly concerned about the health of Texan starting quarterback Matt Schaub, who has been lethargic over the last few games. Many inside the organization believe that he is having some issues with his hip-flexor muscle which is reducing the QB's mobility and his ability to plant himself and throw the deep ball. Schaub missed most of the second half of last week's contest, so there is a possibility backup Sage Rosenfels might fill in this week. (Check status on the Pregame Wire) EDGE: CHARGERS
The surging Chargers have the situational advantage here as they are coming of their bye week and should be well-rested. They will look to continue the momentum of their current 2-0 SU & ATS run, as their offense - absent for much of the first quarter of the season - has come alive thanks to 41 and 28-point efforts. EDGE: CHARGERS
League insiders believe that the recent acquisition of Chris Chambers from the Dolphins gives San Diego QB Phillip Rivers a solid veteran receiver to work with, which will also help out the team's running game. Chambers spent two seasons (2002-03) playing in head coach Norv Turner's system when Turner was Miami's offensive coordinator. EDGE: CHARGERS
The Texans are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.
The Texans are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 October games.
The Chargers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against a losing team.
The Chargers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a losing road team.
The OVER is 5-0 in Houston's last 5 road games.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (CBS | 4:05 PM ET)

Team insiders are reporting that Jacksonville will be without the services of starting QB David Garrard who got hurt against the Colts this past Monday night. Backup QB Quinn Gray will start in his place and is a major downgrade. BIG EDGE: BUCCANEERS
Despite the loss of Garrard, this is a Jacksonville team that relies heavily on running the football - averaging 140 yards per game (fourth in the NFL) - and the defense always seems to keep the Jags in games, allowing a meager 13 points per game this season. SLIGHT EDGE: JAGUARS
The Jaguars are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog.
The Jaguars are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a Monday night game.
The Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a SU loss.
The Buccaneers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 8.
The UNDER is 4-1 in Tampa Bay's last 5 games.


Washington Redskins at New England Patriots (FOX | 4:15 PM ET)

The Patriots offense is No. 1 in the NFL, averaging nearly 40 points per game. Often overlooked is their defense that comes into this contest No. 2 in the league. New England has won all seven of its games by at least 17 points, setting a league record for scoring margin to start the season. BIG EDGE: PATRIOTS
One league insider believes this will be New England's toughest test so far this season, as the Pats face an outstanding Washington secondary and a defense that is tops in the NFC, allowing just 14 points per game. The Washington secondary held the dangerous passing attack of Detroit to just 144 total yards, including 76 through the air. EDGE: REDSKINS
The Redskins are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a winning team.
The Redskins are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win.
The Patriots are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite.
The Patriots are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a 10.5+ favorite.
The OVER is 7-1 in New England's last 8 games overall.


New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers (FOX | 4:15 ET)

Many league insiders are still not sold on this New Orleans club. Despite winning their last two games, the Saints (2-4 SU/1-5 ATS) still lost both of those contests statistically, as the Seahawks held the edge in total yards 425-367 and Atlanta also had a 334-310 advantage. EDGE: 49ERS
The New Orleans secondary has been awful all year, allowing 235 passing yards per game, but the Saints do have the advantage of facing one of the league's worst offenses. The 49ers have averaged just 10.3 points in their last four games. EDGE: SAINTS
The Saints are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against the NFC.
The Saints are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite.
The 49ers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
The 49ers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against the NFC.
The Saints are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings in San Francisco.

Boston at Colorado
The Rockies were a team of momentum and now have to overcome back-to-back losses for the first time since they lost three straight on September 13-15. While heading home to Coors Field should help, there are a few tough signs for the Rox coming out of Boston. One is that the inexperience of the pitching staff seems to be catching up with them as Ubaldo Jimenez followed up the subpar performance of Jeff Francis with one of his own (5 BBs over 4 2/3 innings) in Game Two. The second is that Colorado's bats have suddenly gone cold and the Rockies became the first team since the 2001 Yankees to be held to one run or less over the first two games of a WS. The Rockies managed only five singles in Game Two with Matt Holliday collecting four of them. Turning it around even at home should be difficult against a veteran Red Sox team that has now won five straight postseason games while outscoring the opposition 45-7. Boston looks like a good pick (-160) in Game Three according to Dunkel, which has the Red Sox favored by 1 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Boston (-160).

Washington at St. Louis
The Capitals have dropped five of their last six after starting the season 3-0. The latest setback came last night at home to Vancouver (3-2). Now the Caps must go on the road and play a St. Louis team that is 3-1-0 at home and looking to rebound from a 3-0 shutout in Columbus on Thursday. Washington hasn't won in St. Louis since 1996 and tonight doesn't look to be any easier according to Dunkel, which has the Blues favored by 2. Dunkel Pick: St. Louis (-140).

NHL
Saturday's key NHL matchup notes


Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins (-120, 5 1/2)

The Bruins now go up against a Flyers squad that is 0-2 on an eight-game road trip. Philadelphia (6-3-0) started the season 6-1 and entered the trip on a five-game winning streak, but has been outscored 9-5 over the last two contests.


San Jose Sharks at Columbus Blue Jackets (+105, 5 1/2)

The Sharks are 17-6-1 all-time against the Blue Jackets, but they're just 6-6-0 all-time in Columbus, where they've lost three of their last four. San Jose, though, outscored Columbus 11-5 in winning three of the teams' four meetings last season.


Ottawa Senators at New Jersey Devils (+125, 5 1/2)

After opening the season with a nine-game road trip, New Jersey (3-5-1) will be playing at the new, $380 million Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. for the first time. The construction schedule forced the Devils to play the first three weeks of the season on the road.


Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders (-110, 5 1/2)

Carolina went 2-1-1 in the season series against New York in 2006-07, but lost both games at Nassau Coliseum - one in overtime. Before last season, though, the Hurricanes had won five of their previous seven games there.


Toronto Maple Leafs at New York Rangers (-190, 5 1/2)

The Rangers (3-5-1) have managed an NHL-low 15 goals this season and have scored one or no goals in five of their nine games, including consecutive 1-0 defeats to close out an 0-2-1 road trip Tuesday.


Montreal Canadiens at Pittsburgh Penguins (-200, 6)

After scoring 14 goals to start the season with a 2-2-2 record, Montreal has outscored its opponents 17-7 during a three-game winning streak.


Buffalo Sabres at Tampa Bay Lightning (-150, 6)

The Lightning look to open a season with six straight home wins for the first time in franchise history on Saturday, as they also try to avoid losing their fifth straight home game to the Sabres.


Florida Panthers at Nashville Predators (-135, 5 1/2)

Tomas Vokoun posted 94 of his franchise record 161 wins at the Sommet Center over eight seasons with the Nashville Predators. Vokoun likely will be in net for his new team, the Florida Panthers, on Saturday night in his first trip to Nashville since being traded in June as the teams meet for the first time since 2005.


Atlanta Thrashers at Chicago Blackhawks (-150, 5 1/2)

Nikolai Khabibulin saw his goals-against average rise from 2.32 to 2.88 after the last two games as his record dropped to 3-5-0. He has allowed three or more goals in four straight starts.


Washington Capitals at St. Louis Blues (-150, 5 1/2)

Washington is playing its first game in St. Louis since 2003 and will try to avoid a seventh straight loss there dating to a 6-4 victory on Oct. 26, 1996.


Dallas Stars at Phoenix Coyotes (+130, 5 1/2)

Dallas will face a Phoenix (3-5-0) team it has beaten five straight times on the road since a 6-2 loss on March 2, 2006. The Stars went 7-1-0 overall against the Coyotes last season, and are 7-1-0 in Phoenix since a 3-2 loss on Feb. 14, 2004.


Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings (+160, 6)

Los Angeles has won three straight and four of five after struggling at the start of the new season, which began with a split of a two-game series against defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim in London. The Kings have outscored their opponents 12-3 during their winning streak, including a 2-1 victory over Pacific Division rival Dallas on Thursday.

Montreal Canadiens at Pittsburgh Penguins (-200, 6)

The Canadiens have fired 20 goals in their last four games, adding up to an over/under record of 3-0-1. Montreal comes into tonight’s game against the Pens on a three-game winning streak including back-to-back games in which they played over the total. Last night they beat the Carolina Hurricanes 7-4.

In the last eight games between these two clubs, they have played under the total just once.

Pick: Canadiens +170, Over 6


Ottawa Senators at New Jersey Devils (+125, 5 ½)

After a brutal nine-game road trip to start the season, the Devils finally play their home opener tonight. The bad news for the Devils is they play the 8-1 Ottawa Senators. The Sens have won the last four meetings and won the season series last year 5-2.

Pick: Senators -145


Edmonton Oilers at Los Angeles Kings (+160, 6)

After a slow start to the season, the Kings are turning things around. They have won three straight and four of five entering tonight’s action. During the streak, they have outscored their opponents 12-3. The Oilers are coming off a 5-4 overtime win against Minnesota but the victory was just their second in their last eight games.

Baseball today - Saturday, October 27


SCOREBOARD Saturday, Oct. 27
Boston at Colorado (8:35 p.m. EDT). Daisuke Matsuzaka faces Josh Fogg in Game 3 of the World Series.

STARS

-Mike Lowell, Red Sox, hit a tiebreaking double in the fifth inning and Boston held on to defeat Colorado 2-1.

CURT-AIN CALL?

Curt Schilling allowed one run and four hits in 5 1-3 innings in Boston's 2-1 win over Colorado on Thursday to become the second 40-year-old starter to win a World Series game in what may have been his last start for the Red Sox. He improved to 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA in 19 postseason starts.

HEADED HOME

Down 0-2 in their first World Series, Colorado is heading home, where they have won 11 of their last 12 games and were an NL-best 51-31 during the season. The Rockies will have to reverse an ominous trend: Of the 50 previous teams that took a 2-0 lead in the World Series, 39 went on to win - including six straight and 12 of the last 13.

STREAKING SOX

Boston won their sixth straight World Series game, including a sweep of St. Louis in 2004, with a 2-1 victory over Colorado on Thursday.

SPEAKING

''This was the Pap-ajima show tonight. That was just phenomenal to watch.'' - Red Sox Game 2 starter Curt Schilling, on 3 2-3 innings of shutout relief from Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon that sealed a 2-1 Boston win Thursday and put the Red Sox up 2-0 in the Series.

SEASONS Oct. 27

1985 - The Kansas City Royals, behind Bret Saberhagen's five-hitter, beat the St. Louis Cardinals 11-0 in Game 7 of the World Series.

1986 - The New York Mets won the World Series with an 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 7.

1989 - The World Series resumed after a 10-day delay because of the San Francisco earthquake. Oakland, behind two homers by Dave Henderson, beat the Giants 13-7 in Game 3.

1996 - After two humbling losses at home, the New York Yankees won their first World Series title since 1978 with a 3-2 victory over the defending champion Atlanta Braves in Game 6.

1998 - President Clinton signed a bill overturning part of baseball's 70-year-old antitrust exemption, putting baseball on a par with other professional sports on labor matters. The new law overrides part of a 1922 Supreme Court ruling that exempted baseball from antitrust laws on grounds that it was not interstate commerce. That exemption deprived baseball players of protections enjoyed by other professional athletes and the players association blamed it for contributing to baseball's eight work stoppages since 1972, including the disastrous 232-day strike in 1994-95.

1999 - Roger Clemens pitched the New York Yankees to their second straight World Series sweep, shutting down the Atlanta Braves 4-1. The Yankees won their record 25th championship - third in four years. Game 4 marked New York's 12th Series victory a row, matching the mark set by its Murderers' Row teams.

2004 - The Boston Red Sox became World Series champions at long, long last. Johnny Damon homered on the fourth pitch of the game, Derek Lowe made it stand up and the Red Sox won Game 4 3-0, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals for their first crown since 1918. Manny Ramirez, who batted .412 (7-for-17) with a homer and four RBIs, was named Boston's first World Series MVP.

2006 - The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Detroit Tigers 4-2 in Game 5 to wrap up their first Series title in nearly a quarter-century and 10th overall. The Cardinals had just 83 regular-season wins, the fewest by a World Series champion. David Eckstein, the 5-foot-7 shortstop, was selected Series MVP after batting .364.

Today's birthday: Martin Prado 24.
