Daily Sports Roundup

Saturday, December 13

With no football on the schedule for Saturday bettors will have to make due with just hoops and hockey. Here's a look at the action in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

If the New England Patriots are going to repeat as AFC Champions this year they're going to have to do it as 10/1 underdogs on the Vegas futures list. The Titans are favored at 2/1, followed by the Steelers (11/5), Colts (3/1), Ravens (6/1), and Jets (6/1). The Broncos are at 14/1 odds to advance to the Super Bowl, with the Dolphins at 16/1, and the Chargers well behind at only 100/1 odds.

Over in the NFC the Giants are sitting as the EVEN favorites to win the conference championship. They're followed on the Vegas futures list by the Cowboys at 5/1, the Buccaneers at 6/1, and the Panthers at 7/1. Kurt Warner and his Cardinals are at 12/1, with the Falcons at 14/1, the Vikings at 15/1, and the Eagles at 18/1. The Bears and Redskins both trail on the NFC championship list at 25/1 odds, with the Saints back at 35/1, and the Packers pegged at 150/1.

Other Notable Events

The Dallas Mavericks will be looking to grab an easy victory on Saturday night when they play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavs (12-9 SU, 9-12 ATS) got past another bad team last time out, knocking off the Charlotte Bobcats 95-90 at home on Thursday. Jason Terry led the way with 26 points off the bench for Dallas in that contest, while Dirk Nowitzki picked up 23 points and 13 boards.

LeBron James and his mighty Cavaliers will also play on the road against the Hawks on Saturday, while the Pistons will head to Charlotte to battle the Bobcats. Rounding out the NBA's schedule for Saturday night: Washington at Philadelphia, New Jersey at Chicago, Indiana at Milwaukee, Golden State at Denver, New York at Sacramento, Orlando at Utah, and Houston at the Clippers.

The Rest of the Schedule

With both coming off impressive wins, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers will play a 1:00pm ET matinee on the ice on Saturday afternoon. The Pens blasted the Islanders on Thursday night, getting hat tricks from Petr Sykora and Pascal Dupuis in a 9-2 victory. The Flyers got a hat trick from Scott Hartnell on Thursday as they rallied for a 6-5 win over the Hurricanes.

In the evening it'll be Atlanta at Boston, Tampa Bay at Ottawa, Carolina at the Rangers, Buffalo at New Jersey, Washington at Montreal, the Islanders at Columbus, Dallas at Nashville, Detroit at Phoenix, and Vancouver at Edmonton, while St. Louis will head to San Jose for a game against the Sharks.

Finally, a ranked college hoops matchup has No. 17 Memphis taking on No. 19 Georgetown on Saturday. As well, No. 1 North Carolina will play Oral Roberts, with No. 3 Pittsburgh meeting UMBC. Other Top 10 teams in action on Saturday: No. 5 Oklahoma vs. Utah, No. 6 Texas vs. Texas State, No. 8 Tennessee vs. Temple, No. 9 Louisville vs. Austin Peay, and finally No. 10 Xavier vs. Cincinnati.

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

13) From the Unmitigated Gall Department: Bronx Bombers actually asked the Brewers to pick up part of Mike Cameron's salary as teams discussed a swap of centerfielders (Cameron for Melky Cabrera). It didn't go over very well, and the trade still hasn't been made.

12) Somehow, the Mets convinced someone to take Scott Schoenweis off their hands, trading the hideous lefty to Arizona. Omar Minaya should get a raise for dumping Joe Smith, Schoenweis in same week, but Mets also cut 2B Argenis Reyes, who would be a good pickup as a utility guy for someone. He's a pretty good fielder.

11) If I'm the Cardinals, I gobble up free agent pitcher Daniel Cabrera and hope pitching coach Duncan can work more wonders; if he could straighten Cabrera out, he has All-Star-level ability.

10) Bronx Bombers have now spent roughly $250M this week to fix their starting rotation, after throwing $84M at AJ Burnett Friday, but this signing raises significant questions, unlike the Sabathia deal.

9) Sabathia is a warrior, making 28+ starts in every season since 2001 30+ starts in every year but one; Burnett has made 30+ starts three times, in 2002-2005-2008.......he averaged 24 starts a year since 2001, not what you'd expect for $16M a year.

8) Not sure if this is relevant or not, but Burnett is from Arkansas, and the Bronx is about as far away from Arkansas as you can get; his first two big league stops were Miami/Toronto-- what we could have here is second coming of Carl Pavano. For his sake, he better not be.

7) Goalie for Washington Capitols got hurt during morning skate on Friday, so they called the 3rd stringer up from minors to be backup in Friday's game; problem is, the minor league team was in Texas, so he wasn't going to be there in time for the start of the game........

6).......strapped for a backup goalie, Caps turned to the director of their website, a 6-7 kid who played goalie at D-III Oswego State in college. He suited up, went thru warmups, worse jersey #80, then quickly exited when the minor leaguer arrived during the first period.

5) After the game, as the starting goalie was being interviewed by the media, who is behind the camera filming for the website but the kid (26 years old) who is the website director, back to his day job.

4) Golf Channel is running a reality series with Charles Barkley this spring, where golf teacher Hank Haney tries to make Charles into a decent golfer, no easy task. He hit a couple balls on post-game show after the Portland-Utah game Thursday, and his swing looked better.

3) One of the stipulations Haney put it when they signed up for the project was that, on any day they filmed, Barkley would have to hit 1,000+ balls, thats how hard pros work at their game. There are forty golf balls in a large bucket-- thats 25 buckets to hit, every day they filmed. Thats lot of free lessons and two very sore hands he'll have.

2) Either ESPN or Baseball Channel should hire former pitching coach Rick Peterson, who speaks very well and knows ton of stuff about pitching; plus, his dad used to run the Pirates back on the 80's. He'd be a terrific addition for one of the TV networks.

1) Saturday afternoon's college basketball card should be re-named Cupcake Day; for lot of teams, its their first game after Exam Week, so they ease back into their routines, playing stiff teams so they can get a win. Not a very stimulating card of games Saturday, to be sure.

Tennessee (-6): The Vols have won seven of their last eight true road games - dating back to last season. Tennessee owns a 32-21 all-time record against current members of the Atlantic 10 Conference, including a 3-0 mark during the Bruce Pearl era. The Vols play just five games during the month of December. Four of those contests take place in-state, with three in Knoxville and one in Nashville. This game is UT's lone out-of-state affair.

The UNDER is 8-1 in Tennessee's last 9 road games.
The UNDER is 7-3 in Tennessee's last 10 Saturday games.

Key Injuries - F Ryan Childress (knee) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Temple: The Owls are fresh off a 65-59 win at Penn State and boast one of the nation's top players in All-America candidate Dionte Christmas. The 6-5 senior guard leads TU and ranks second in the A-10 Conference with 19 points per game. However, he was limited to his lowest output (two points) against the Nittany Lions since his freshman season. Temple owns a 2-3 record against Top 10 foes when playing at the Liacouras Center, which opened in 1997.

Temple is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 games overall.
The UNDER is 10-2 in Temple's last 12 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries -NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

#15 Memphis at #19 Georgetown [CBS | 2 PM ET]

Memphis: The Tigers return to action after a 10-day layoff. This is the first true road game of the 2008-09 campaign for them, and they bring a 19-game road winning streak into this game against Georgetown. Since 2005-06 when the Big East re-aligned, Memphis owns a perfect 7-0 record against the league. The Tigers are allowing just 64.3 points per game through six games this season, which is lower than the team's 67 ppg allowed a year ago.

Memphis is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 8-4 in Memphis' last 12 games overall.

Key Injuries - G CJ Henry (foot) is OUT.
F Angel Garcia (knee) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Georgetown (-4.5): The Hoyas are coming off their biggest win since 1989 in terms of margin of victory, as they routed Savannah State 100-38 on Monday. Austin Freeman, DaJuan Summers and Jessie Sapp each scored 14 points to lead Georgetown, which will looking to avenge an 85-71 loss to Memphis a year ago. “It’s encouraging - regardless of who’s coming in here,” Hoyas head coach John Thompson III said. “For the most part, our guys were extremely focused throughout the game.”

Georgetown is 5-12 ATS in its last 17 Saturday games.
The OVER is 6-3 in Georgetown's last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Massachusetts at #23 Kansas [ESPN | 2 PM ET]

UMass: The Minutemen broke a six-game losing streak with a 73-59 win over Holy Cross on Wednesday. New head coach Derek Kellogg has kept his players focused on overcoming the rough start and knows facing Kansas will be a very difficult task. “To be 1-6 sometimes, kids can go the other way but these kids have not,” said Kellogg, who was an assistant with Memphis last season. “I think us getting a win now validates some of the things we are trying to teach them.”

UMass is 1-5 ATS this season.
UMass is 2-6-1 ATS in its last 9 Saturday games.

Key Injuries - C Luke Bonner (knee) is OUT.
F Matt Hill (Achilles') is OUT.
G Doug Wiggins (suspension) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Kansas (-18): The Jayhawks may have lost six of their top seven scorers from a year ago, but they have remained dominant with a very young lineup. Outside of an 89-81 overtime loss to Syracuse, Kansas has won its other seven games by at least 15 points. “As a group they have done pretty well,” Jayhawks head coach Bill Self said. “Still, from my vantage point, we need to keep moving in a very positive direction because I don’t think they have come close to what they can be or our team can be when they get totally comfortable and playing at a high level.”

Kansas is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games overall.
The UNDER is 7-3 in Kansas' last 10 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Minnesota Wild at Los Angeles Kings (+105, 5.5)

The King are becoming a bet-home, fade-away kind of team. They have a 9-6-1-3 mark inside the STAPLES Center but have stunk on the road, leading to a 3-6-0-0 record.

Los Angeles got its ninth home win with a 6-2 victory over the lowly St. Louis Blues Thursday. St. Louis is just as bad on the road and couldn't stop Kings captain Dustin Brown, who scored a hat trick in the win. Two of those goals came on the power play.

Brown was put with new linemates Jarret Stoll and Kyle Calder, which was one the many changes head coach Terry Murray made heading into Thursday. He shook up the blueline pairings as well as started Erik Ersberg in goal instead of Jason LaBarbera.

"Obviously after a game like we had in Denver, we had to get back to basics and working hard," Brown told reporters. "Think we worked as a 20-man unit. For us, we have to play that way. We're not going to get away with one or two lines playing well or having our goalie save a game."

Minnesota comes into L.A. with a 7-5-0-0 record away from home but has lost its first two games of its current four-game road swing.

Pick: Los Angeles

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers (-130, 6)

It seems the alarm clock is ringing in the Penguins' locker room. Pittsburgh snapped out of its three-game slumber and smoked the New York Islanders 9-2 Thursday night. Heading into that game the Pens' mighty offense scored just six goals during their skid.

Winger Petr Sykora scored a hat trick and added an assist in the offensive outpouring. And while Sidney Crosby remained scoreless for the sixth straight game, the superstar center picked up three helpers in the victory. He assisted on Sykora's third and final goal.

"You're looking for a guy when he's got two goals, especially with that score, you might force it more than you normally would," Crosby told reporters. "He knows where to go and I just put it on his stick."

Rookie goaltender John Curry also gave Pittsburgh a boost. He started in favor of Dany Sabourin, who had just one win in the last five games. Curry stopped 26 shots for his second win of the season.

The Penguins have won the last three meetings with their state rivals, outscoring the Flyers 14-6 during those games.

Pick: Pittsburgh

Pick 'n' Roll: Saturday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orlando Magic at Utah Jazz (-4.5, 199)

Dwight Howard hasn't missed one game since the Orlando Magic drafted him first overall in 2004, and his teammates hope that streak continues despite leaving his last game early because of knee pain.

Howard expects to be back in the starting lineup, and will try to snap out of an uncharacteristic slump on Saturday night when the Magic visit the Utah Jazz.

Howard left Orlando's 113-112 loss to Phoenix on Friday because of a sore left knee. He made his first five shots and scored 12 points in the first quarter but then played only 10 more minutes before leaving for good with 8:36 left in the third quarter.

Orlando hopes Howard will bounce back as it tries to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time since opening the season with defeats against Atlanta and Memphis. The Magic rallied from 10 down in the fourth quarter on Friday, but came up just short after former Orlando star Grant Hill scored on a reverse layup with 2.7 seconds remaining.

The Jazz, meanwhile, are coming off a 97-88 win over the Trail Blazers on Thursday - their third victory in four games. Mehmet Okur scored 21 of his 27 points in the first half, and pulled down 10 rebounds.

Okur is averaging 15.8 points this season and 20.3 in the last four games. He's recorded three consecutive double-doubles.

Pick: Jazz

New York Knicks at Sacramento Kings (-2.5, 219)

New York (10-12) won 121-109 at New Jersey on Wednesday to improve to 3-9 on the road and snap a six-game losing streak away from Madison Square Garden.

Al Harrington scored a season-high 39 points with 13 rebounds and fellow New Jersey native Tim Thomas added 26 for the Knicks, who shot 50.6 percent in their first road win since a 132-103 victory at Memphis on Nov. 12.

Now, the Knicks head to Sacramento (6-17), which has lost nine of its last 10 overall. New York hasn't won back-to-back road games since beating Chicago on Jan. 8 and New Jersey on Jan. 16.

This will be the third stop on a five-game road trip that includes coach Mike D'Antoni's return to Phoenix on Monday and concludes against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.

With Stephon Marbury's uncertain future and veteran Cuttino Mobley announcing his retirement on Thursday, D'Antoni used seven players in each game on the recent trip. The Knicks could get help with guard Nate Robinson expected to return on Saturday after missing seven of his last eight games with a strained groin.

Three days after handing the Lakers their third loss of the season, Sacramento fell 112-103 at Los Angeles on Friday. The Kings stormed back from a 15-point deficit early in the fourth quarter to close to within three but would not get closer.

"We kept fighting and we were right there with them, said the Kings' John Salmons, who had 26 points and six assists." At this point, we have to take anything that we can get."

Salmons is averaging 19.7 points this season and 23.0 in his last three contests. He had 32 and 11 rebounds in Sacramento's 107-97 win at New York on Jan. 2 in the teams' most recent meeting.

Pick: Kings
