Six-pack for Wednesday

-- Hey if Don Mattingly wants to manage in major leagues so bad, how about managing in minors for year or two? If Ryne Sandberg and Gary Carter can do it, so can Mattingly.

-- ESPN worked deal with FOX Sports to show Arizona St-Oregon game Saturday night; good deal for fans, so more people can see this important Pac-10 contest.

-- Daniel Chopra won his first PGA event in 133 tries down in Florida Sunday, becoming 12th 1st-time winner on Tour this season. This is the last week of the season; so far, 97 guys have earned $1M on Tour this season.

-- The coveted #125 spot currently belongs to Ted Purdy, with $758,734; #126 is JB Holmes, with $754,616.

-- LSU QB Perilloux won't play at Alabama Saturday, after being involved in some kind of bar scuffle last week. He is the backup QB, but plays in running situations.

-- If one more Red Sox fan calls himself "long suffering", I'm going to puke. Boston's baseball team had just six losing seasons since 1967, has been in nine of last 20 playoffs.

Wednesday's List of 13: Our NFL List of 13............

If you don’t have at least a .500 record, you can’t get ranked.

13) Lions—4-0 if they win turnover battle, 0-2 if they lose it, 1-0 when it was even. Looking good for a playoff spot.

12) Redskins—Beat Lions 34-3, lost to Patriots 52-7; does that mean Patriots would beat Lions by 76? (No it doesn’t, but it does mean AFC is still lot better than NFC).

11) Ravens—How come Billick’s (supposed offensive guru) offense, Marvin Lewis’ (supposed defensive guru) defense both stink?

10) Seahawks—You watch them play, their body language is very negative; they’re lucky Arizona hasn’t learned how to finish games yet.

9) Packers— Favre added another chapter to his legendary career late Monday night. He is something to watch.

8) Titans—Not stat team; they just win; that’s a compliment.

7) Cowboys— Attention baseball owners; Jerry Jones bought Cowboys for $150M in ’89; they’re worth $1.3B now, and that’s in a league with a salary cap.

6) Jaguars—Get most out of their players, but they really need Garrard to get healthy.

5) Steelers—Its hard to win seven years in row on home field of a division rival, but Pittsburgh is 7-0 in last seven visits to Cincinnati.

4) Giants—Discounting dismal performance in London; they won, field was a mess, distractions were everywhere. I’d take them against Dallas on neutral field.

3) Chargers—Looked hungry, angry vs Houston. A team to avoid in January. No one wants Norv fired now.

2) New England—Closest game they’ve had was 34-17 vs Cleveland. Midseason Super Bowl is Sunday.

1) Colts—Defending champs are tops on this list until they lose. They're a 5-point home dog Sunday. Interesting.

Hockey today - October 31


SCOREBOARD Wednesday, Oct. 31

Chicago at Dallas (8:30 p.m. EDT). Stars center Mike Modano is one point shy of tying Phil Housley's NHL record for most points by a U.S.-born player with 1,232.

STARS Monday

-Devin Setoguchi, Sharks, scored two goals in the third period of his first NHL game to help San Jose beat Dallas 4-2.

-Alexander Ovechkin, Capitals, scored twice to lead Washington to a 7-1 win at Toronto.

MEMORABLE DEBUT

San Jose's Devin Setoguchi, the eighth overall pick in 2005, scored twice in his first NHL game to help the Sharks rally for a 4-2 win at Dallas. Setoguchi tied the game at 2 midway through the third before giving San Jose the lead for good 2:34 later.

THIRD TIME NOT A CHARM

Philadelphia defenseman Randy Jones was suspended two games by the NHL on Monday for his violent hit on Boston's Patrice Bergeron, making him the third Flyers player suspended for a dangerous play this season. Bergeron is still out after he was hammered to the boards face-first by Jones in the first period of Philadelphia's 2-1 victory over the Bruins. Steve Downie (20 games) and Jesse Boulerice (25 games) were the other Flyers to be suspended for violent on-ice hits this season.

TROUBLE IN TORONTO

Toronto dropped to 3-4-2 at Air Canada Centre after a 7-1 defeat to Washington on Monday night. The Leafs have allowed an NHL-high 51 goals this season, including two 7-1 home defeats. Carolina also did it on Oct. 9.

ROAD WOES

Tampa Bay is 0-4 on the road after a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Monday night. The Lightning, who are 5-0-1 at home, visit New Jersey on Wednesday night and the New York Islanders on Thursday.

KEEPING KIPRUSOFF

Miikka Kiprusoff agreed to a $35-million, six-year extension with the Flames on Monday that will keep the star goalie in Calgary through the 2013-14 season. The Flames acquired Kiprusoff from San Jose for a second-round draft pick in November 2003. He's 111-54-23 with four ties for the Flames and helped the team reach the Stanley Cup final in 2004.

SPEAKING

''What a night. Break my skate, first period. Second, my glove. Then my teeth. I didn't see myself yet. It's Halloween tomorrow. I don't have to buy a mask.'' - New York Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr on scoring the winning goal after getting bloodied in the mouth earlier in Monday night's 3-1 victory over Tampa Bay.

---

''We're playing a team that's like Tupperware. Once they close the lid and burp it, you're done,'' - San Jose coach Ron Wilson after the Sharks rallied for a 4-2 win at Dallas on Monday night.

NBA
Hot Lines


Pick 'n' roll: Wednesday’s best NBA bets


Philadelphia at Toronto (-6 ½, 190)

The Raptors finished last season atop the Atlantic Division with a 47-35 straight-up (SU) record. They were also a league-best 48-33-1 against the spread (ATS).

Longtime Raptors forward Morris Petersen’s departure to New Orleans and the subsequent acquisition of Carlos Delfino from the Detroit Pistons were the only big changes to the Raptors’ roster in the offseason. The changes shouldn’t have much of an impact on Toronto’s success this season.

The Raptors were 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS against the 76ers last season. The Sixers, conversely, were an impressive 43-36-3 ATS and finished the regular season with 35-47 SU after opening the campaign with 22 losses in their first 30 games. They are also 4-0 ATS in their last four contests at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.

Pick: 76ers + 6 ½


Milwaukee at Orlando (-7 ½, 201)

The Magic spent a lot of money in the offseason to lure Rashard Lewis to Orlando as part of an attempt to overthrow the Miami Heat and conquer the Southeast Division this year.

The Magic were a mediocre 37-43-2 ATS and 40-42 SU overall last season and were 3-1 ATS versus the Bucks. Milwaukee, though, was without Michael Redd in three of its meetings with Orlando. The Bucks’ sharpshooter averaged more than 25 points and shot over 38 percent from the three-point line in 53 contests last season.

Milwaukee will have versatile swingman Desmond Mason and sixth-overall pick Yi Jianlian in its starting lineup Wednesday. These players give the Bucks more options defending against Magic star center Dwight Howard. With a healthy Redd in their lineup and Charlie Villanueva and Bobby Simmons coming off the bench this season, the Bucks’ improvement should be evident.

Pick: Bucks +7 ½


Sacramento at New Orleans (-10, 190 ½)

The bad news is that the Kings will be shorthanded against the Hornets. The good news, for Sacramento backers, is that it probably won’t make a difference.

Sacramento will be without point guard Mike Bibby, forward Ron Artest and rookie center Spencer Hawes. Veteran center Brad Miller is also questionable for Wednesday. The Kings, though, will have leading scorer Kevin Martin in their lineup against the Hornets. Martin averaged more than 20 points with four rebounds and two assists for the Kings last season.

New Orleans’ leading scorer David West will likely miss Wednesday’s opener after spraining his ankle on Friday. West has averaged more than 17 points per game over the last two seasons. His absence virtually eliminates the Hornets’ inside attack that might have proved lethal against the shorthanded Kings.

Pick: Kings +10


Dallas at Cleveland (+4, 185 ½)

Not expecting much scoring in the Mavs-Cavs matchup? Think again.

Last season the Mavericks averaged 100 points per game and allowed their opponents less than 93 points per game. The Cavaliers averaged 97 points per game and also held their opponents to less than 93 points per game last season.

Both teams will be without important defensive players on Wednesday. Cleveland is without workhorse forward Anderson Varejao, who has not been able to work out a contract with the team. The Mavs, similarly, are without starting forward Josh Howard, who is serving a two-game suspension for a preseason altercation with Kings center Brad Miller.

Three-point-a-holic Donyell Marshall will likely see more playing time off the bench for Cleveland, while one-time league scoring leader Jerry Stackhouse will undoubtedly receive more minutes for Dallas.

Pick: Over 185 ½
