Friday's List of 13: Random thoughts for a fall Friday.......

13) If I was the athletic director at Nebraska, first two guys I interview to be the new football coach are Paul Johnson from Navy and Jim Grobe from Wake Forest.

12) Brad Lidge getting traded to Phillies means Brett Myers is back as a starting pitcher.

11) After this week, NFL goes back to 16-game weeks for rest of the season. Everyone will have played nine games, and be ready for the stretch run. Either the stretch run to the playoffs or for position in next April's draft.

10) TCU has a straight-on placekicker, first one of those I've seen since Rick Danmeier kicked for the Vikings in mid-80's.

9) November is best time to play golf in northeast; when you hit a ball on wrong fairway, it is much easier to get it back on right fairway if there are no leaves on the trees.

8) When exactly does Frank Caliendo's TV show start? After an unending series of promos during the baseball playoffs, the guy was on Inside the NBA after Dallas-Golden State tilt. WTBS is promoting this like NBC promoted the XFL.

7) Three times in last four years, Texas trailed Oklahoma State by 19+ points; Longhorns came back to win all three games.

6) Roger Cossack should kick some money into OJ Simpson's defense fund; no one ever heard of Cossack until the original OJ trial; when he and Greta van Susteren worked for CNN on the trial-- now he does analysis of legal issues for ESPN.

5) NBA commish David Stern warned Seattle that if Sonics go to Oklahoma City, the NBA won't be back in Seattle, which is what you get for being loyal fans for 40+ years. In effect, the city is losing the team because Oklahoma City did so well as temporary home of the Hornets during aftermath of Katrina.

4) That makes sense: Hurricane in New Orleans costs Seattle its NBA franchise. Business as usual in today's world.

3) The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are now the "Tampa Bay Rays" and now sport navy, light blue as colors, instead of green, as announced Thursday night at a concert/fireworks show that drew 7,000+ in the Bay Area. Too bad they can't draw 7,000+ for actual baseball games.

2) Here's a question: What if, as Jose Canseco suggests, Alex Rodriguez' name gets linked to steroids before he signs a new contract for megabucks? Would this knock his earning power down below the $27M a year mark, making his opting out one of the most expensive decisions in baseball history?

1) Wonder how many Kentucky hoop fans already had plans done for their New York trip? Manhattan is great at this time of year, so they should come anyway, even if Gardner-Webb/ UConn isn't exactly what they had in mind.........

Saturday’s Games

Top 10 Games

UCLA won three of last four games vs Arizona State, winning last two here, 20-13 (-2)/45-35(-3); last year, ASU was awful in red zone, failing to score TD in 24-12 home loss to Bruins. Sun Devils lost for first time last week, they trailed at half for fourth week in row and fifth time in last six weeks. Four of their last five games stayed under the total. ASU 2-1 on the road, winning by 41-3/23-20; they’re 6-2 as favorite TY. Erratic Bruins lost three of last four; dogs covered their last five games.

Arkansas ran ball for 541 yards last week, a terrific performance; now they face Tennessee defense that gave up 259 yards on the ground in the 31-14 loss to Arkansas LY (-5). Hogs lost 41-38 at Alabama, won 44-8 at Ole Miss in only two previous road games (594 rushing yards); in last three games, they’ve outscored foes 150-54, running for 1,083 yards. Vols won five of last six games, but in their three losses, they were outscored 62-17 in second half. Will Hogs’ running game wear them down?

Visitor is 3-2 in last five Georgia-Auburn games, with Tigers winning last visit here 31-30; not sure what effect Tuberville-to-A&M rumors are having on Auburn, which has won six of last seven games, losing only in last second at LSU- they’re 3-0 as road dog this season,. 2-1 SU. Dawgs won three in row, six of last seven games; they were held to 12,14 points in their losses (South Carolina/Tennessee) but scored 42,44 points in last two weeks, beating Florida, Troy.

Winner of next week’s Michigan-Ohio State game wins Big 11, so the Wolverine-Badger game is missing that urgency, but still, Michigan won last eight games following 0-2 start; home side won last three in series, as Michigan lost its last visit here, 23-20 (-2). Wolverines were down 24-14 with 7:00 left in East Lansing last week, rallied to win, have hated Buckeyes on deck- this is soft spot for them. Badgers are 2-3 in their last five games after getting thumped by Ohio State, but they’re 6-0 at home in '07.

Ohio State won last three games vs Illinois (23-16/40-2/ 17-10); this game has more urgency for them due to national title stuff. Buckeyes covered six of their last eight games; they’re 2-3 as home favorite in ’07, running ball for 213.3 ypg in last three weeks. Illini won seven of last nine games; they were held to 6,17 in only two losses (Iowa, Michigan)- they’re averaging 30.4 pg on road, 36.5 if you take out the Iowa loss. Illinois has 772 rushing yards in their last two games.

Beamer is 0-7 vs Florida State, losing 27-22 on neutral field in last meeting (-14.5, ’05). Hokies are +13 in turnovers the last six games (14 INTs), and outscored last five foes 96-21 in first half, but they were held to 7,10 points in their two losses (LSU, BC). Florida State won six of last eight games, is off win at BC last week; Seminoles haven’t allowed first half point in last two games, and in four of last seven. FSU scored defensive TD in three of last five games- five of their last seven games stayed under the total.

Boston College tries to rebound from first loss at banged-up Maryland squad they’ve beaten last two years, 31-16 (-2.5)/38-16 (-8). Terps lost last three games, by 1,13,3 points, scoring just 15.7 pg- they’ve run ball for just 102 ypg in last four games, are 2-4 vs spread as dog in ’07. Eagles are 2-1 on road, scoring 21.7 pg, beating Ga Tech (24-10, +7), Notre Dame (27-14, -14). Eagles didn’t score in first half in last two games and have just one takeaway in those two games, big part of their recent struggles.

Oklahoma State won four of last six games; they had second half leads of 17-0/35-14 in losses, so Kansas’ unbeaten record gets serious test here. OSU is +7 in turnovers last three games, but they’re 0-5 when they score less than 39 points (14-23-23-35 in losses). Jayhawks are 3-0 on road, winning at K-State (30-24), Colorado (19-14), A&M (19-11); they covered last seven games, are +12 in turnovers in last four, with 18 INTs in last seven. Hard to believe they hung 76 on Nebraska last week, but they did.

South Carolina gave up 581 rushing yards in loss at Arkansas last week, their third loss in row; how, Ball coach’s old team visits- Gamecocks beat them here 30-22 in ’05 (+4) then barely lost at Swamp LY (17-16; Carolina had 48-yd FG blocked at gun). Florida scored 41.3 pg in last three games- their last four games all went over total- they’re 2-2 on road, winning 30-24 at Ole Miss, 45-37 at Kentucky, losing 28-24 at LSU, 42-30 vs Dawgs in Alltel. Both defenses in this game really struggling.

Cal snapped three-game skid vs Wazzu last week but looked sluggish doing it; in its last four games, they’re -7 in turnovers (5-12) and have been outscored 69-31 in second half- four of last five games stayed under total, as have Trojans' last seven tilts. USC beat Cal last three years (23-17/35-10/23-9) after Bears had upset them here in ’03. Trojans are 3-1 on the road, allowing 26.3 pg (other than shutout at 1-8 Notre Dame). Cal is 4-1 at home, losing 31-28 to Oregon State.

Friday, November 9

Rutgers at Army (8 PM ET | ESPN2)

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights look to get back on track Friday night when they travel to Michie Stadium to take on the Army Black Knights. The Scarlet Knights enter this game on a two game losing streak, suffering defeats to West Virginia and Connecticut by a combined 47 points. The Black Knights also find themselves in a losing streak of their own, losing their last three with a sputtering offense averaging just 14 ppg during that stretch. This is the first meeting between these two schools since 2003, and Rutgers has enjoyed great success against Army, covering the point spread in eight out of the last ten meetings. EDGE: RUTGERS
One of the bright spots for the Scarlet Knights has been RB Ray Rice. He leads the Big East and is sixth nationally with 140 rushing yards per game. Rice looks to be set for a big game against the Black Knights on Friday night, as they are ranked 109th in the country in rushing defense allowing 213 yards per game. BIG EDGE: RUTGERS
The Army Black Knights return home for the first time since beating Tulane in overtime a month ago and sport an unblemished home mark of 3-0 on the season. Army’s defense has been a bend but don’t break kind of unit at home, giving up close to 400 yards per game, but allowing just 15 points. The Scarlet Knights amassed 510 yards of offense against UConn last week, but could only find the end zone once. EDGE: ARMY
Army’s head coach Stan Brock has said that his team will do whatever it takes to protect their home turf, and they are very proud of the fact that they haven’t lost a game this season at home. This game is expected to be a sell out and everyone will be wearing all black to support the Black Knights. Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano said this game is going to be a tough challenge for his team on a short week. EDGE: ARMY
Rutgers is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a losing team.
Rutgers is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite.
Army is 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall.
Army is 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog.
The OVER is 9-3-1 in Rutgers last 12 games overall.


Saturday, November 10

#12 Michigan at Wisconsin (ESPN | 12 PM ET)

The Wolverines must win this game if they have any hopes of finishing alone atop the Big Ten. Otherwise, a win against Ohio State would mean possibly sharing the title with the Buckeyes. "You never want to tie anything, especially with Ohio State," Michigan RB Mike Hart said. "We want to win this game, and then go win the championship outright." EDGE: MICHIGAN
Michigan has won seven of the last eight meetings with Wisconsin, including a 27-13 victory at home last year. However, the Badgers are 5-2-1 ATS in those games. SLIGHT EDGE: WISCONSIN
Wisconsin is coming off a disappointing 38-17 loss to Ohio State last week, rushing for a season-low 12 yards on 37 carries. Star RB P.J. Hill is suffering from a bruised leg and may not play. (Check status on Pregame Wire) EDGE: MICHIGAN
The Badgers have won 13 straight home games along with 24 of 25. However, Michigan is 21-4-1 all-time at Camp Randall Stadium. SLIGHT EDGE: MICHIGAN
Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games against a winning team.
Michigan is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 road games.
Wisconsin is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games as a home underdog.
Wisconsin is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 conference games.
The UNDER is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.


Wake Forest at #21 Clemson (ESPN2 | 12 PM ET)

The winner of this game still has a legitimate shot at making the conference title game following BC's loss to Florida State last week. Both Clemson and Wake Forest sit one-half game behind the Eagles. Wake lost to BC 38-28 back on September 1st while the Tigers play host to the Atlantic Division leaders next Saturday. EDGE: CLEMSON
Wake Forest surrenders 224.4 passing yards per game, which could be the difference against a Clemson team that leads the ACC in passing efficiency and ranks third in passing yards with 258 per game. EDGE: CLEMSON
The Demon Deacons have dropped their last three games at Death Valley, losing by an average score of 41-20. EDGE: CLEMSON

Illinois at #1 Ohio State (ABC | 3:30 PM ET)

The Illini are confident they can play with the Buckeyes in this one after suffering a tough 17-10 home loss in last year's meeting. That Illinois team finished 2-10 while this year's squad is headed to a bowl game. "The amount of respect we have for that team is just about as high as anybody else," Ohio State WR Brian Hartline said. "Being able to watch them do what they've done this year so far, we have a lot of respect for them. It'll be a different game this year." SLIGHT EDGE: ILLINOIS
The Buckeyes certainly can't afford to slip here if they have any hopes of making it to the BCS title game for the second year in a row. This is also a possible look-ahead spot with Michigan on deck next week, but Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel is confident that won't happen. "This group really understands that we've got work to do," Tressel said. EDGE: OHIO STATE
Ohio State has won 28 straight regular-season games and 20 in a row in Big Ten play. EDGE: OHIO STATE
Illinois RB Rashard Mendenhall needs just 17 yards to break the school's single-season rushing record after totaling 390 yards and four touchdowns in the last two games. However, Ohio State ranks third nationally in run defense, allowing 65 yards per game and only two rushing TDs all season. SLIGHT EDGE: OHIO STATE

#9 Arizona State at UCLA (ABC | 3:30 PM ET)

The Sun Devils are coming off their first loss of the season to virtually end any hopes of playing in the BCS title game, but they still have a lot to play for with a potential spot in the Rose Bowl still up for grabs. "Obviously guys are down," ASU QB Rudy Carpenter said. "We wanted to have a magical season this year, and I think guys have got to understand that we still can. We've still got a lot to play for - I think everybody on our team realizes that we can still accomplish the goals that we had set at the beginning of the season." EDGE: ARIZONA STATE
UCLA will likely start its fourth different QB this year in Osaar Rasshan, who replaced Patrick Cowan after he suffered a concussion against Arizona last week. Rasshan led the Bruins to a pair of field goals and a touchdown against the Wildcats and has never made a collegiate start. "We're encouraged with how he played, played with a lot of courage and heart, making some plays out there," UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell said. "His first time on the field, and being a road game, it was pretty encouraging for us to see how he responded." EDGE: ARIZONA STATE
Arizona State is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games following an ATS loss.
Arizona State is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 conference games.

UCLA is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 games following a SU loss.

#18 Auburn at #10 Georgia (CBS | 3:30 PM ET)

Georgia has won three straight games behind the running of freshman RB Knowshon Moreno, who has totaled 541 yards and six touchdowns during that stretch. Moreno is the first freshman since Herschel Walker to rush for 1,000 yards and could get some help in the backfield if Thomas Brown can return from a collarbone injury. "Thomas is coming right along," Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt said. "He's definitely got a chance to play in this one. I think he's motivated to - we're going to start working him this week as if he's got a shot." EDGE: GEORGIA
Auburn's defense has limited the opposition to seven points or less in four of the last five games. The Tigers are 18-9 in their last 27 trips to Athens, winning six of the last seven there. EDGE: AUBURN
The Bulldogs have won five of six at home this season and beat Auburn 37-15 on the road last year. In fact, the road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. SLIGHT EDGE: AUBURN

Florida State at #11 Virginia Tech (ABC | 3:30 PM ET)

The Seminoles have won 12 in a row vs. Virginia Tech, the latest coming in the 2005 ACC championship game. The teams have not played since then but share a common recent opponent in Boston College. Florida State handed the Eagles their first loss last Saturday while the Hokies blew a 10-0 lead and lost 14-10 to BC back on October 25th. EDGE: FLORIDA STATE
Florida State QB Drew Weatherford threw for 354 yards and two touchdowns in last week's upset of BC, and he has thrown only one interception in 192 pass attempts. EDGE: FLORIDA STATE

Texas Tech at #14 Texas (ABC | 3:30 PM ET)

Texas has won the last four in the series with Texas Tech and four straight overall. The last two wins for the Longhorns have been nail-biters, coming down to the wire without much defense being played. They have given up 1,134 yards of offense to Nebraska and Oklahoma State while beating both teams by a combined six points. The Red Raiders bring the nation's top offense to Austin, averaging 549.5 yards per game. EDGE: OVER
Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree seems to be hitting a wall late in his freshman year, averaging 109.5 yards per game in the last four with only one touchdown. Crabtree still leads the nation in receiving yards, catches and touchdowns, but he is coming off a season low of four catches for 61 yards after averaging 179 yards and almost three TDs per game in his first six. "Crabtree is just putting up amazing numbers," Texas DE Brian Orakpo said. "I can't even do what he's doing on a video game." EDGE: TEXAS

The Gamecocks just gave up a school-record 541 rushing yards in a road loss at Arkansas and now have to face Florida QB Tim Tebow, who leads the SEC in both total offense (314 yards per game) and rushing touchdowns (14). EDGE: FLORIDA
South Carolina has dropped three straight games, and head coach Steve Spurrier has lost four in a row only once in his career. That came back in 1987 in his first season with Duke. He beat his former team Florida in the first meeting since leaving the Gators in 2005 and also led the Gamecocks to a cover in a 17-16 loss last year as a 13-point underdog. EDGE: SOUTH CAROLINA

#4 Kansas at Oklahoma State (ABC | 8 PM ET)

The Jayhawks are coming off an awesome offensive display in a 76-39 rout of Nebraska last week. They got a school-record six touchdown passes from QB Todd Reesing and four rushing touchdowns from RB Brandon McAnderson. In fact, Kansas scored TDs on 10 straight possessions to beat the Cornhuskers for the second time in 39 meetings. EDGE: KANSAS & OVER
Oklahoma State totaled 603 yards in a 42-32 win over Kansas last October 14th. The Cowboys have won the last five meetings but blew a 35-14 lead last week in a 38-35 home loss to Texas. "As painful as it is, we still have to correct everything that happened in the game to make us better for the next week and then get back on track," OSU head coach Mike Gundy said. "The one thing that will work to our advantage this week is it's not every day you get to play a team that's fifth in the BCS or whatever they are. I would think that our players would be excited about playing at team that's as highly regarded as they are." SLIGHT EDGE: OKLAHOMA STATE
The Cowboys are surrendering an average of 448.3 yards per game, good for second-worst in the Big 12. That's bad news against the nation's second-best offense, as Kansas is averaging 46.2 points per game. EDGE: KANSAS

#17 USC at California (ABC | 8 PM ET)

This will be Senior Day at Cal's Memorial Stadium, and you can bet the 18 players who will be honored would love nothing more than to beat the Trojans in their final home game. The last time the Golden Bears beat USC came back in 2003, 34-31. "Some people jumped off the bandwagon, but we can't control who sticks with us," Cal LB Zack Follett said. "There's nothing we can do except keep playing." EDGE: CAL
Both teams have QB injury issues, with Cal's Nate Longshore still bothered by a sprained ankle and USC's John David Booty trying to recover from a broken finger. Longshore completed 26-of-39 passes for 213 yards and no touchdowns last week while Booty connected on 19-of-33 for 157 yards and two touchdowns. Insiders expect both teams to continue following conservative offensive gameplans here. EDGE: UNDER

The Eagles are looking to bounce from their first loss of the season, knocking them from #2 in the BCS rankings to #8. They still sit atop the ACC's Atlantic Division, one-half game ahead of both Clemson and Wake Forest. BC head coach Jeff Jagodzinski said the team's top priority is still winning the conference title despite the loss. "We've never won one before," Jagodzinski said. "Our goal is to win the ACC first. If that happens, we'll see what happens after that." EDGE: BOSTON COLLEGE
BC has won the last two meetings with Maryland by an average of 18.5 points, including a 31-16 victory the last time the team visited College Park. The Terrapins have lost three straight following a 4-2 start, including two in a row at home by a combined 14 points. EDGE: BOSTON COLLEGE

The Hurricanes have not lost three in a row at home since 1996 and will be playing their final game at the Orange Bowl on Saturday. They will begin playing at Dolphin Stadium next season.

Fresno State at #16 Hawaii (ESPN2 | 11 PM ET)

Hawaii has just four games left to move up four spots in the BCS standings, guaranteeing a spot in a BCS bowl game. The Warriors are coming off a bye week as one of only three unbeaten teams in the country. "I don't look at it because it doesn't matter," Hawaii head coach June Jones said. "It'll only matter if we keep winning. We've convinced the players of that too. They speak that same way. It is kind of cool, but everyone in this room will be disappointed if we don't end up that way." EDGE: HAWAII
In two career games against Fresno State, Hawaii QB Colt Brennan has thrown for 736 yards and six touchdowns. The Heisman Trophy candidate has 970 yards and 10 TDs in his last two games and will need to finish strong to get invited to New York as a finalist. EDGE: HAWAII

College Football – Top Twenty-five

NCAAF


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
College Football Top 25
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was another big shakeup at the top of the Top 25 college football rankings this week. Ohio State held on to the No. 1 position once again, but the rest of the Top 5 all changed. LSU moved back into their old slot at No. 2, while Oregon landed at No. 3 after toppling Arizona State. The No. 4 spot now belongs to Oklahoma, while Kansas made a three-spot leap to grab the No. 5 position.

The largest gain of the week was made by Clemson. The Tigers are making a late push for first place in the ACC Atlantic and made a five-spot gain in the rankings after thrashing Duke last week.

The biggest loser of the week was Boston College. The Eagles were riding high at No. 2 and had national championship game visions before an upset loss to Florida State knocked them down the rankings six spots.

Three new teams entered the rankings this week, with Virginia making their Top 25 debut while California and Kentucky both got back in. The three teams that got the boot from the rankings were South Carolina, Wake Forest and South Florida.

1. Ohio State – 10-0 (1)

The Buckeyes ripped Wisconsin 38-17 last week to remain on top of the rankings. Ohio State hosts 7-3 Illinois this weekend in their final home game of the season.

2. LSU – 8-1 (3)

The Tigers defeated Alabama 41-34 last week to climb up to No. 2. LSU has an easy out-of-conference game this weekend versus 4-5 Louisiana Tech.

3. Oregon – 8-1 (4)

The Ducks moved into the Top 3 after knocking off Arizona State 35-23 last week. Oregon is off this week before heading to 4-6 Arizona on Nov. 15.

4. Oklahoma – 8-1 (5)

The Sooners gained a single spot in the rankings after blowing out Texas A&M 42-14 last week. Oklahoma has an easy home game versus 3-7 Baylor this week.

5. Kansas – 9-0 (8)

The Jayhawks flew into the Top 5 after embarrassing Nebraska 76-39 last week. Kansas takes their perfect record to 5-4 Oklahoma State this week.

6. West Virginia – 7-1 (7)

The Mountaineers climbed one spot up the ladder despite not playing last week. West Virginia heads back to the gridiron on Thursday with a big game at home against 5-4 Louisville.

7. Missouri – 8-1 (9)

The Tigers shredded Colorado 55-10 last week to gain two positions in the rankings. Missouri takes on 6-4 Texas A&M at home this weekend.

8. Boston College – 8-1 (2)

The Eagles tumbled down the rankings after suffering their first loss of the season to Florida State, 27-17 last week. Boston College will look to rebound at 4-5 Maryland this weekend.

9. Arizona State – 8-1 (6)

The Sun Devils slipped in the rankings after losing to Oregon 35-23 last week. Arizona State has a road game at 5-4 UCLA this weekend.

10. Georgia – 7-2 (10)

The Bulldogs dropped Troy 44-34 last week to hold at No. 10. Georgia has a tough SEC test this weekend at home versus 7-3 Auburn.

11. Virginia Tech – 7-2 (11)

The Hokies got past Georgia Tech 27-3 last week to remain at No. 11. Virginia Tech will face 6-3 Florida State at home this weekend.

12. USC – 7-2 (13)

The Trojans stomped Oregon State 24-3 last week. USC needs a win this week when they travel to No. 24 California.

13. Michigan – 8-2 (15)

The Wolverines defeated rivals Michigan State 28-24 last week. Michigan hits the road for a game at 7-3 Wisconsin this weekend.

14. Hawaii – 8-0 (12)

The Warriors were off last week, but somehow dropped two spots in the rankings. Hawaii can start back up the rankings again if they can beat 6-3 Fresno State this weekend.

15. Texas – 8-2 (14)

The Longhorns edged Oklahoma State 38-35 last week. Texas hosts 7-3 Texas Tech in a must-win game this weekend.

16. Connecticut – 8-1 (16)

The Huskies pounded Rutgers 38-19 last weekend to hold steady at No. 16. Connecticut faces 7-2 Cincinnati on the road this weekend.

17. Florida – 6-3 (18)

National Football League - Dunkel Index

NFL
Dunkel Index


Denver at Kansas City
The Chiefs have struggled to generate much offense in the first half of the season and come into this contest ranked 29th in the league in scoring (15.5 ppg) and 30th in total offense (286.3 ypg). That doesn't look to improve much without RB Larry Johnson, who is likely to miss Sunday's game with a sprained foot. But despite the problems, Kansas City finds itself tied for first place in the AFC West with San Diego and a chance to move into first outright. If any team was supposed to challenge the Chargers, it was the Broncos. But Denver is reeling right now and has lost five of its last six, including last weekend's 44-7 blowout in Detroit. QB Jay Cutler was carted off the field with a badly bruised leg, which at a minimum should affect his mobility on Sunday. RB Travis Henry also sat out the fourth quarter with a knee injury. The home team has won the last nine straight and the Chiefs look like a good pick to make it 10 straight and cover the line (-4) according to Dunkel, which has KC favored by 12 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Kansas City (-4). Here are all of this week's picks.

Week 10 NFL schedule

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday, November 11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaguars (5-3) @ Titans (6-2) — Third straight road game for the Jaguars, who gave up 445 passing yards to Brees last week, but now face Titan squad that has total of only 122 passing yards in last two games. Tennessee ran ball down Jags’ throats for 282 yards in 13-10 Week 1 win (+6); Titans won last three games overall, and also three in row at home, allowing just one TD on opponents’ last 39 drives in home games. Jags gave up 31 pg in last three games, after giving up 11.6 in first five; they miss QB Garrard and DT Stroud. Titans have 12 sacks in last two games. Under is 6-1-1 in Tennessee games this season.

Broncos (3-5) @ Chiefs (4-4) —X-rays of Cutler’s leg showed no break, rare good news for Denver side that lost five of last six games; they were outscored 82-27 in losing last two road games, are 1-7 vs spread in ’07, 1-3 as underdog. Chiefs are 3-1 if they allow less than 20 points; they’ve gained more than 290 TY in only two of eight games, allowed 12 sacks in last three games, and other than Gonzalez, have useless receivers- they averaged 5.3 or less ypp in last four games. Star RB Johnson was carted off near end of game last week, which could be very damaging. Six of last seven Denver games went over the total.

Bills (4-4) @ Dolphins (0-8) —Buffalo is 3-0 since bye, allowing 12.7 pg; if they hadn’t blown late lead vs Dallas in Week 5, they would have five-game win streak- they’re +8 in turnovers last four games, taking ball away 11 times. Now, they’re road favorite at desperate Miami club that is 0-3 at home, losing by 17-18-21 points (allowing 40.3 pg) and has been outscored 82-17 in first half of last three games overall. Buffalo is 1-2 on road, scoring 7.7 pg (two TD’s on 28 drives); they have been outscored 64-10 in two games on natural grass (vs Pats, Steelers). Five of last seven Miami games went over total (over is 3-0 in Miami home games). .

Browns (5-3) @ Steelers (6-2) — Cleveland won last three games, scoring 33.7 pg; they covered six of last seven games, have 12 TDs on last 29 drives and converted 19 of last 34 3rd down plays. Browns averaged 7.6+ ypa in four of last five games; they’re +6 in turnovers in their five wins, -8 in their three losses. Pitt is 4-0 off Monday’s rout of Ravens, winning by 23-21-21-31 points; they’re just sixth team ever to win their first four home games of season, all by 21+ points. Steelers routed Browns 34-7 in opener on Lake Erie, running ball for 206 yards, starting six of 14 drives in Browns’ territory. Seven of eight Cleveland games went over total, including last four in row.

Rams (0-8) @ Saints (4-4) —Red-hot Brees is 66-88/771 passing in last two games, as Saints rallied from 0-4 start to even record; only 23 of their last 141 plays were run on third down, that tells you how well they’re moving ball. NO scored 14 or less points in all four losses (four TDs on 41 drives), 22+ in their wins (14 TDs on 43 drives). Doubtful winless Rams can offer much resistance; they haven’t scored TD in 46 drives on road, with 16 3/outs and five missed FGs in nine tries. St Louis is 1-7 vs spread this year; five of eight losses are by 14+ points- they’re -9 in turnovers last three games. Six of their eight games stayed under total. Former Saint coach Haslett is Rams’ DC.

Falcons (2-6) @ Panthers (4-4) —Carolina is 0-3 at home, losing by 13-13-24 points, allowing 28.3 pg; they’ve been outscored 53-19 in first half of last five games, and are now down to Carr and Moore at QB, not ideal combo. Panthers beat Atlanta 27-20 in the season opener, running ball for 175 yards, offsetting 31-44/331 passing day by Harrington. Falcons were outscored 44-12 in second half of last four games; they’re 0-4 on road, losing by 21-6-7-6 points, scoring just 9.8 pg (two TDs on 41 drives on road). Odd thing about Atlanta is they have +11 turnover ratio in last five games, and still went 2-3 in those five. Carolina has +6 ratio in turnovers in their last four games.

Eagles (3-5) @ Redskins (5-3) — The legal case involving Reid’s family is huge news in Philly, is casting pall over season that isn’t going well anyway. Philly lost home Monday nighter 20-12 to Washington in first meeting of season, scoring just nine points in four visits to Redskin red zone- in their last 16 visits to red zone, Iggles have just five TDs, with 10 FGs tried (4.07 ppd). Philly also has just one takeaway in last three games, but they have won three of four after loss this season. Skins are 3-1 at home, with wins by 3,31,2 points; they were outscored 41-9 in first half of last two games, but rallied well to pull out OT win over Jets in Swamp last week. Skins’ last three games went over.

Vikings (3-5) @ Packers (7-1)—Rookie RB Peterson set all-time single game rushing mark last week; he is carrying Viking offense that has all three QB’s banged up; they’re 1-3 on road, losing by 3-3-10 points. Pack beat them 23-16 first meeting, at Metrodome, outrushing Vikes 155-46. Red-hot Favre, who averaged more than 10 yards per pass attempt in each of last two games (with wins at Denver, KC in span of six days) was 32-45/322 passing in first meeting vs Vikes, Minnesota is +5 in turnovers last four games; they outrushed foes 925-315 in last four games. Over is 4-1 in Vikings’ last five games, 5-2 in Packers’ last seven contests. Pack is 1-1-1 as favorite, 5-0 as dog this season.

Bengals (2-6) @ Ravens (4-4) —Not much to choose from here; Bengals are 0-4 on road, giving up 33.8 pg; they’ve lost six of last seven games since 27-20 Week 1 win vs Ravens, allowing 3+ TDs in all seven games. Cincy had six takeaways in the opener, have just 10 in seven games since. Ravens on short week after putrid performance in Pittsburgh (lost 38-7, gaining just 107 yards on a rainy night); they’re 3-0 at home, though, winning by 7-3-19 pts; they’re 1-5 vs. spread as favorite this season, covering only vs winless Rams. Bengals gave up 26 TDs on opponents last 74 drives. Four of last five Baltimore games stayed under total.

Bears (3-5) @ Raiders (2-6) — Oakland scored just 12.5 ppg in losing last four games (under 3-0-1), with -7 turnover ratio and only four TDs on last 43 drives; they’re 11 for last 41 on third down, so no one is making plays to move the chains (think they could use Randy Moss, in his current state?) Chicago has just one TD on last 19 drives, is -7 in turnovers last three games (1-8) and has been outrushed 553-218 in last three games- road team won their last four games. Raiders trying to avoid using rookie QB Russell before he is ready, but if losing continues, they’ll have to play him pretty soon. NFC teams were 5-2 vs AFC last week, cutting AFC’s season lead to 20-18.

Cowboys (7-1) @ Giants (6-2) —Big Blue won six in row after 0-2 start, allowing 11.7 pg in last three games (three TDs allowed on last 32 drives); one of losses was 45-35 shootout in Week 1 in Dallas, with total yardage 478-438, Dallas- they had six TDs on 10 drives. Pokes are 4-0 on road, scoring 33.5 pg; six of their seven wins are by 10+ points. Cowboys outscored foes 156-57 in 2nd half of their wins- Pats had 27-10 edge in second half of their only loss. Giants outrushed opponents 705-377 in last four games; they won last three home games by 13-11-18 points. Six of eight Dallas games went over the total. Cowboys pretty much clinch NFC East with win here.

Lions (6-2) @ Cardinals (3-5) —Detroit has 24 takeaways in eight games (+8 ratio); in three games they lost turnover battle, they were crushed (56-21/34-3) and in one game that was even, they nipped Vikings by FG, so if Arizona can avoid miscues (they’re -9 in turnovers last three games, with 10 giveaways) they can pull upset here. Lions are 3-0 since their bye, giving up 10 pg (three TDs on 31 drives); they outscored last three opponents 42-7 in first half, and outrushed last four foes 396-234. Cardinals are 2-1 at home, beating Seattle, Steelers, losing to Carolina- they need to run ball better (42 rushes, 107 yards in last two games). Three of last four Lion games stayed under.

Colts (7-1) @ Chargers (4-4) —No love lost for Manning clan in San Diego after Eli refused to play for Chargers; huge game for 4-4 Bolts, who are still tied for first in AFC West. Bolts are 3-1 at home, with wins by 11-14-25 points; they’ve outscored last five opponents 99-26 in first half of last five games, but they’ve had injuries on defensive front (Vikings had 378 rushing yards last week) which will hurt vs potent Colt offense (scoring 28 pg on road (4-0)). Indy is off first loss; they covered last six games, with last three staying under total. Rivers needs to make more plays for Bolts, who are just 7 for last 24 on third down conversions. Bigger game for San Diego than Indy.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday, November 12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

49ers (2-6) @ Seahawks (4-4) —Seattle scored 33,30 points in last two games, but couldn’t hold 21-6 lead on Lake Erie last week, but they’re still in good shape in division, since other three teams are bad. 49ers lost last six games, with four losses by 18+ points; they have yet to gain 290 yards in any game this season. Hawks won first meeting 23-3 in Candlestick, holding 49ers to 22 net passing yards (that was with Dilfer under center, not Smith). Seattle lost three of last four games, beating winless Rams; three of their four wins are by 14+ points. 49ers are -9 in turnovers last five games, -15 in sacks; this is their third road game in last four weeks. Potentially ugly Monday night game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (FOX | 1 PM ET)
League insiders are not expecting a lot of points in this contest, as Green Bay's defense comes into this contest allowing just 16 points per game, which could pose problems for a Vikings offense that is one of the worst in the league. Minnesota does own the league's No. 1 ranked rushing offense (averaging 183 yards per game) though led by rookie phenom Adrian Peterson, who is coming off an NFL-record 296 yards vs. San Diego. EDGE: UNDER
Team insiders believe that Minnesota still needs to find a solution at quarterback to have any real chance at turning things around this season. The Vikings have been rotating second-year quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and Brooks Bollinger. Meanwhile, Green Bay has no such problem with future Hall of Famer Brett Favre under center. BIG EDGE: PACKERS
The Vikings defense has allowed a 300-yard passer three times in the last five games, which is not good news against the very dangerous passing attack of the Packers, ranking second in the NFL in passing yards (290 per game). BIG EDGE: PACKERS
Vikings are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games against the NFC North.
Vikings are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games against a winning home team.
Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win.
Packers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against a losing team.
Road team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.


Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers (FOX | 1 PM ET)
Team insiders are reporting that Atlanta head coach Bobby Petrino's deciscion to make changes to the offensive line coming off a bye week paid dividends last week against the 49ers, as Falcons running backs totaled 155 rushing yards. EDGE: FALCONS
Carolina is in a lot of trouble offensively. The Panthers lost starting QB Jake Delhomme earlier this season with an elbow injury and backup David Carr suffered a concussion last week. That means 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde may get the call this week after missing time with an Achilles injury. Carolina is averaging just 12 points over the last five games. In last week's 20-7 loss to Tennessee, the Panthers had just 191 yards of total offense. EDGE: FALCONS
Team insiders believe this game will come down to the matchup between Carolina's rushing defense (ranked 18th in the league, allowing 110 rushing yards per game) against the Falcons run-oriented offense. Those same insiders think the Falcons won't be as effective running outside off turf. SLIGHT EDGE: PANTHERS
Falcons are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.
Falcons are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS win.
Panthers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games against the NFC.
Panthers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.
Road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.


Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins (FOX | 1 PM ET)
Team insiders are a bit perplexed how Philadelphia is in last place in the NFC East division, as the Eagles still possess the league's ninth overall offense and a defense that is ranked No. 12 overall in the NFL, allowing just 19 points, 93 yards rushing and 224 yards passing per game. SLIGHT EDGE: EAGLES
Washington comes into this contest with a ?run first? oriented offense, which should have trouble against an Eagles run defense that is ranked 7th in the NFL. EDGE: EAGLES
The Eagles are 0-3 SU against division opponents this season, getting beaten by an average score of 24-10. EDGE: REDSKINS
The Redskins have swept both meetings with the Eagles just once in the last 18 years. EDGE: EAGLES
Eagles are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against a winning team.
Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against the NFC East.
Redskins are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans (CBS | 1 PM ET)
Team insiders believe that this is a very tired Jacksonville club that will be playing the last game of a brutal three-game road trip. The Jaguars are a very physical football team that lacks depth, so when they get tired they can be exploited. Last week, the Saints piled up 538 yards on this tired defense. EDGE: TITANS
Team insiders are concerned about the status of Jacksonville QB Quinn Gray, who made his second start last week for the injured David Garrard (ankle). Gray sprained his left ankle on a hit early in the second quarter and finished the contest with three interceptions. Experts believe Garrard could return to action this week. EDGE: TITANS
The Titans have a run-first offense under offensive coordinator Norm Chow and run by second-year QB Vince Young (3 TDs, 8 INTs), averaging 153 yards rushing per game (5th in the NFL). Second-year RB LenDale White has rushed for 104, 133 and 100 yards the last three games, and they are off a 20-7 win over Carolina Sunday. EDGE: TITANS
League insiders have been very impressed with this young Titans defense that ranks 5th overall in the NFL, including No. 1 against the run. Jacksonville should find trouble establishing the run against this stopping unit. Dating back to the second quarter against the Colts on September 16th, the Titans have allowed just one touchdown in 14 quarters on their home field. EDGE: TITANS

Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins (CBS | 1 PM ET)
Some league insiders believe that this is an ideal situational setting for Miami to get its first win of the season. The Dolphins are coming off their bye week while Buffalo is off a rather surprising win over Cincinnati at home. SLIGHT EDGE: DOLPHINS
Team insiders are reporting Buffalo captain J.P. Losman will start again at QB this week after backup quarterback Trent Edwards suffered a sprained wrist two weeks ago against New York.

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (CBS | 1 PM ET)
The Broncos come into this contest with the distinction of having the league's worst run defense, surrendering a whopping 157 yards per game. Team insiders are a bit concerned about the health of Kansas City RB Larry Johnson, who injured his right foot and was on crutches after last week's game. Johnson is expected to miss this game, so former All-Pro Priest Holmes will get the start and could play a significant role. EDGE: CHIEFS
The injury bug has hit the Broncos hard, as QB Jay Cutler and RB Travis Henry were sidelined with injuries last week game at Detroit. WR Javon Walker also has an injured right knee and has missed 5 straight while free safety John Lynch was inactive with a pinched nerve in his neck. The net result of these injuries was a 44-7 thrashing at the hands of the Lions last week. BIG EDGE: CHIEFS
The Broncos have been horrible on the road this season, losing by an average score of 32-14. This week doesn?t look like that trend will change as Denver has not won in Kansas City since 2002. EDGE: CHIEFS

The Cowboys are not just winning their games this season, they are blowing their opponents away. The average margin of victory for Dallas is 11 points per game this season. When the Cowboys are the chalk, they are beating teams by an average score of 31-16. EDGE: COWBOYS
The Cowboys are a very well-rounded team, entering this contest with the league's No. 8 defense, allowing 22 points, 84 yards rushing and 214 passing while ranking No. 2 in the NFL in total offense, averaging 32 points on 123 yards rushing and 278 passing per game. EDGE: COWBOYS
Team insiders are curious to see how the Giants perform in the second half of the season. Many of the players reported being tired following a very difficult schedule in the first half, playing four night games (including one that was played 6 p.m. London time) and making two trans-Atlantic flights. They are also infamous for falling apart in the second half of the season the last few years under head coach Tom Coughlin. EDGE: COWBOYS
