Daily Sports Roundup

Friday, November 28

Leagues are back in force on Friday, with plenty of NBA and NHL action to go along with college games. Here's a holiday version of the Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

There are just a couple of ranked college football teams in action on Friday, with No. 9 Boise State the top program in action. The Broncos (11-0 SU, 7-3 ATS) will get a visit from Fresno State (7-4 SU, 2-9 ATS) at 6:00pm ET. Boise State has scored over 40 points in each of their last four games, getting past Nevada 41-34 last time out. The Bulldogs are on a two-game winning streak, picking up consecutive wins over New Mexico State and San Jose State. The oddsmakers prefer unbeaten Boise State in this one, as they're pegged as 21-point favorites.

No. 25 Mississippi will take on Mississippi State on Friday in a 12:30pm game. The Rebels (7-4 SU, 7-3 ATS) climbed into the AP Poll for the first time in five years last week after they knocked off LSU by a final score of 31-13. Mississippi has now won four straight games. The Bulldogs (4-7 SU, 5-5 ATS) edged Arkansas 31-28 last time out. The Rebels are 16-point favorites for this meeting.

As well, there's a Big East matchup between West Virginia and Pittsburgh on Friday, with kickoff set for 12:00pm. The Mountaineers (7-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) were upset by the Panthers in a crucial game last season, and they'll head into this revenge game as winners of six of their past seven contests. The Panthers (7-3 SU, 4-6 ATS) fell 28-21 to ranked Cincinnati last time out; that result ended their two-game winning streak. West Virginia is a 3.5-point favorite Friday afternoon.

Other Friday college football action: Central Michigan (-10) vs. Eastern Michigan, Ohio (-1) vs. Miami (Ohio), UTEP vs. East Carolina (-5.5), Akron vs. Temple (-2.5), Kent State vs. Buffalo (-9), LSU (-4.5) vs. Arkansas, Bowling Green (-2) vs. Toledo, Colorado vs. Nebraska (-18), and finally UCLA vs. Arizona State (-10).

Other Notable Events

After a light Thanksgiving Thursday the NBA has a busier night on Friday, with 11 games on the schedule. Highlighting that slate are an Eastern battle between Philadelphia and Boston, and Western clashes between New Orleans and Portland and Dallas and the Lakers. Also on tap: Atlanta at Toronto, Golden State at Cleveland, Milwaukee at Detroit, Charlotte at Indiana, Minnesota at Oklahoma City, Miami at Phoenix, Memphis at San Antonio, Sacramento at Utah.

The Rest of the Schedule

The NHL has some rare weekday matinees on Friday, with the Islanders at Boston at 12:00pm, Carolina at Philadelphia at 1:00pm, and Tampa Bay at Minnesota at 2:00pm. As well, puck drop for both Colorado at Phoenix and Chicago at Anaheim is 4:00pm. Rounding out the league's slate in the evening: Montreal at Washington, Columbus at Detroit, Pittsburgh at Buffalo, the Rangers at Florida, and Nashville at Atlanta, while the Sharks will play the Stars in Dallas.

Finally, it seems every college basketball game on Friday is under the umbrella of some sort of event: Old Spice Classic, Philly Classic, South Padre Island Tournament, Chicago Challenge Invite, Global Sports Classic, Las Vegas Invite, Anaheim Classic, Great Alaska Shootout, Legends Classic, Liberty Thanksgiving Tournament, USA Basketball Classic, Philly Hoop Group Classic. Oh, and the Preseason NIT too, which stages its title game between Purdue and Oklahoma.

A Peek at the Future

There's a bigger slate of college football games on Saturday, with several ranked matchups: No. 18 Georgia Tech vs. No. 13 Georgia (-8), No. 2 Florida (-16.5) vs. No. 23 Florida State, No. 19 Oregon vs. No. 17 Oregon State (-3), and No. 3 Oklahoma (-7) vs. No. 11 Oklahoma State. As well, No. 1 Alabama plays Auburn as 14.5-point faves, while No. 5 USC is favored by 32 points versus Notre Dame.

Six-pack for Friday

College football knowledge with Week 13 upon us.......

-- Georgia is 5-1-1 vs spread in last seven Georgia-Ga Tech games.

-- Home side is 7-1-1 vs spread in Bowling Green-Toledo series.

-- Underdog is 13-5 vs spread in Central Mich-Eastern Mich series.

-- Vanderbilt is 4-0 vs spread as a road underdog this season.

-- Fresno State covered once in its last ten games.

-- Other than Eli Manning's senior year, when Ole Miss was -19 in the Egg Bowl, this is first time in 23 years line in this rivalry game is more than eight points.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

[pm530]

Friday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

13) Thursday wasn't the NFL's best day; three terrible games, last of which I couldn't see anyway, because the greedy jackasses at both the NFL and Time Warner can't agree how to get the NFL Network onto my cable system. The Lions' game was especially awful-- they look like a real good bet to be the NFL's first-ever 0-16 team .

12) Thank the Lord ESPN has two hoop tournaments this weekend, because the three NFL games and the Texas-A&M game were awful to watch. Eight college hoop games over 14 hours-- good stuff.

11) Flip side of the two new tournaments is bad news for the Great Alaskan Shootout, which has Hampton, Western Carolina, San Diego State, Portland State, Louisiana Tech, Seattle, Eastern Illinois and the host school, Alaska-Anchorage. An absolutely horrendous field for what once was a premier event.

10) Look at this way-- you're a D-I coach, and you can go get three extra games in November-- you want to go to Orlando, Anaheim or freakin' Alaska???? Even a dumb person would get this one right......

9) Second round games Friday have some superior matchups; down in Orlando, semis are Tennessee-Georgetown, Gonzaga-Maryland. In Anaheim, semis are Arizona State-Baylor, UTEP-Wake Forest. Big upset winners Thursday were Maryland over Michigan State, and UTEP over a very disappointing St Mary's team.

8) Big 11 teams are now 0-7 in the Old Spice event in Orlando after Michigan State got hammered; their big center didn't play, but still a poor performance. Now they have to play Oklahoma State, with the loser playing the early game Sunday to avoid an 0-3 weekend.

7) Arizona State is probably the second-best team in the Pac-10.

6) Not only are the Lions terrible, they're unlucky with injuries; the two QBs they used yesterday weren't on team a month ago, neither one of them. They've used five QBs this season, most in NFL, and are now 1-19 in last 20 games, since being 6-2 at midpoint of 2007. The only team they beat in that stretch, the Chiefs, are 1-16 in their last seventeen games.

5) I don't think Troy Aikman likes PacMan Jones much; he went out of his way to point out that there are Dallas players who might not want Jones reinstated to the active roster. usually don't hear stuff like that from Aikman, who I do like as an analyst.

4) Luckily the Cardinals are going to jog to NFC West title, because they got hosed by the schedule-maker this week. They play a night game 2,000+ miles from home in a cold-weather site on a Thursday, on just three days' rest. Meanwhile, the Eagles played 90 miles from home last week, at 1pm, so it was pretty much like a 4:00 home game to them. Pretty big advantage to the Eagles there, huh?

3) Got an e-mail from reader Glenn who points out that former Mets outfielder George Foster's 1986 World Series ring was recently sold online for $48,638. Kind of a cool Christmas gift for the guy who has everything, huh?

2) TNT had a great piece on former NBA star Waymon Tisdale, who recently lost a leg due to bone cancer. Made me realize that some of the issues I get aggravated about just aren't that big of a deal.........

1) As I finish typing this, people are scurrying out to start shopping for Christmas; it is freakin' 4:22am on a Friday, and people are going shopping. Is this a great country or what?

Pick ‘n’ Roll: Best NBA bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memphis Grizzlies at San Antonio Spurs (-10, 182)

Manu Ginobili's return may have been a spark for the San Antonio Spurs, but it's a much lesser known bench player who seems to be providing a bigger one.

Rookie George Hill looks to continue his surge on Friday, as do the Spurs when they host the stumbling Memphis Grizzlies.

Hill was selected 26th overall by San Antonio in this year's draft, but was virtually unknown to most NBA fans because he played collegiately at IUPUI of the Summit League. His playing time was limited until Tony Parker's injury, along with the absence of Ginobili, prompted coach Gregg Popovich to insert Hill into the starting lineup earlier this month.

In his sixth and most recent game as a starter, Hill scored 20 points against Denver on Nov. 19, and he hasn't slowed down since returning to the bench for the last three games. He's averaged 20.7 points in that span - the Spurs (8-6) have won each game - and the 6-foot-2 Hill had his first double-double Wednesday with 19 points and 11 rebounds in a 98-88 victory over Chicago.

Ginobili also has played well in two games since rejoining the Spurs after offseason ankle surgery. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year had 12 points and four rebounds in 12 minutes Monday in a 94-81 win at Memphis, then had 15 points, four assists and three boards in 18 minutes Wednesday. Ginobili has shot 8-of-12 from the field.

While San Antonio has won six of seven after a 2-5 start, Memphis (4-11) has gone in the other direction.

The Grizzlies have lost eight of nine and have been particularly bad on defense lately, allowing their last three opponents to shoot a combined 52 percent.

The Spurs have won 11 of 13 versus the Grizzlies and seven straight meetings in San Antonio.

Pick: Spurs



Sacramento Kings at Utah Jazz (10.5, 207.5)

The Utah Jazz noticed an immediate difference in their play after getting Deron Williams back. The Sacramento Kings continue to be reminded of how much they miss Kevin Martin at the end of close games.

After their best offensive performance of the season, Williams and the Jazz look to take advantage of a struggling Kings team Friday night.

Williams missed seven straight games with a sprained left ankle sustained in the preseason. He had played only twice this season, on Nov. 11 and 12, before he was sidelined again.

Sloan would love to have Williams feeding the ball to Carlos Boozer, but the veteran forward has missed four straight games with a strained left quadriceps and isn't likely to play until next week at the earliest.

Sacramento (5-12) is playing without its own star player in Martin. He has missed 10 straight games but may return Saturday against Dallas.

Martin, one of the NBA's top scorers, is averaging 22.4 points in seven games and the Kings certainly could have used him down the stretch in their last two contests.

John Salmons scored a career-high 38 points Wednesday, but missed 4-of-8 free throws late in the game and overtime that could have clinched the victory.

Pick: Over

Goaltenders Dany Sabourin and John Curry split time in that win after Sabourin was yanked for allowing three goals on 14 shots. Curry stepped in for his NHL debut and stayed solid facing 11 shots in the final period and a half. He could get the nod Friday with stater Marc-Andre Fleury is still dinged up with lower body injury.

Buffalo snapped a five-game skid with a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins Wednesday. The Sabres are scoring just two goals a night during this stretch. Even if Pittsburgh's goaltending is subject, the Penguins will be able to outgun their opponents.

Pick: Pittsburgh



San Jose Sharks at Dallas Stars (+110, 5.5)

Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov didn't appear rusty after missing over two weeks with a lower body injury. He was back between the pipes for the Sharks 3-2 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks Wednesday. Nabokov stopped 24 shots for his 11th win of the season.

The Sharks offense sputtered in the victory. They have scored over five goals a game during their current five-game winning streak, getting a good chunk of those from Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau.

Dallas was edged 2-1 when it last played San Jose November 8. The Stars picked up just their second win in eight games with a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. They're still without winger Brenden Morrow, who will be out for as many as six months with a torn ACL.

Pick: San Jose
