Daily Sports Roundup

Saturday, December 20

Bowl season begins on Saturday, with the first four postseason clashes on the schedule. Here's a look at all of the day's action in your Daily Sports Roundup.

The Gridiron Spotlight

The 2008/09 bowl season officially gets underway at 11:00am ET on Saturday morning with Wake Forest vs. Navy in the EagleBank Bowl. The Demon Deacons and Midshipmen have already played once this season, with Navy (8-8-4 SU, 6-5 ATS) coming out on top by a final score of 24-17. Saturday's game, though, still has Wake Forest (7-5 SU, 5-7 ATS) pegged as the 2.5-point favorite.

Colorado State (6-6 SU, 6-5 ATS) and Fresno State (7-5 SU, 2-10 ATS) will then square off in the New Mexico Bowl at 2:30pm ET, with the Bulldogs listed as 3-point favorites. Memphis (6-6 SU, 5-5-1 ATS) and South Florida (7-5 SU, 4-7 ATS) are slated for the St. Petersburg Bowl at 4:30pm ET, with the Bulls pegged as big 11.5-point favorites. The night's bowl action then concludes with the Las Vegas Bowl at 8:00pm ET, with BYU (10-2 SU, 3-8 ATS) vs. Arizona (7-5 SU, 7-5 ATS). The Cougars weren't a lucrative team this year, and they're 3-point dogs.

Other Notable Events

Not to be outdone the NFL also has a game on the schedule for Saturday, with the Ravens travelling to Dallas for an inter-conference battle against the Cowboys. Both Baltimore and Dallas are 9-5 SU on the season, but neither of those teams has a playoff berth locked down heading into the weekend. As well, both of those teams are no longer in contention for their respective division crowns, so it's Wild Card or bust. Kickoff for the matchup is slated for 8:15pm ET.

The Ravens are coming off a disappointing 13-9 loss to the rival Steelers last week in which they could only muster three field goals. Joe Flacco went 11-of-28 for 115 yards and two INTs in the loss. The Cowboys knocked off the Giants 20-8 last time out, with Tony Romo throwing for 244 yards and two scores in that win.

Oddsmakers have the Cowboys listed as 4-point home favorites for Saturday, with the game's total at 39.5 points. Dallas is 7-7 ATS through the first 14 weeks of the season, and they're 7-7 on the OVER/UNDER as well. The Ravens have paid off very well at 10-4 ATS so far this season, and they're at 8-5-1 on the OU.

The Rest of the Schedule

The Orlando Magic will get another big test on Saturday night when they play host to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Magic got past the Spurs by a final score of 90-78 on Thursday night, with star center Dwight Howard picking up 14 points and 13 rebounds in his return to the lineup. Jameer Nelson poured in 24 points.

San Antonio is back in action on Saturday as well, as they'll get a visit from the Raptors. Also on the slate: Golden State at Charlotte, Indiana at Philadelphia, Houston at Minnesota, Miami at New Jersey, Sacramento at New Orleans, the Clippers at Milwaukee, and Utah at Chicago, with Phoenix playing host to Denver.

Red-hot Phil Kessel and his Boston Bruins will get a visit from the Carolina Hurricanes in Saturday matinee action in the NHL. Kessel scored twice on Thursday night as the Bruins outgunned the Maple Leafs for an 8-5 victory. David Krejci had a hat trick in the contest, which improved Boston to 22-5-4 on the year.

The Leafs will try to bounce back when they play in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The rest of the busy NHL schedule: Tampa Bay at Atlanta, Dallas at Ottawa, Buffalo at Montreal, Los Angeles at Detroit, the Islanders at Nashville, Minnesota at St. Louis, Columbus at Phoenix, Chicago at Vancouver, and the Rangers at San Jose. As well, the Capitals will be in Philadelphia for the league's other matinee.

Finally, there are five ranked matchups on the college hardwood on Saturday: No. 2 UConn vs. No. 8 Gonzaga, No. 19 Michigan State vs. No. 5 Texas, No. 6 Duke vs. No. 7 Xavier, No. 22 Davidson vs. No. 13 Purdue, and No. 11 Syracuse vs. No. 23 Memphis. As well, No. 1 North Carolina will meet Valparaiso, No. 4 Oklahoma will take on VCU, and No. 9 Louisville will try to get past Minnesota.

A Peek at the Future

NFL conference top seeds will be on the line on Sunday, with Pittsburgh at Tennessee in the AFC, and Carolina at the Giants in the NFC. The Steelers are sitting as 2-point road favorites in their game against the Titans, while the Giants are favored by 3 points at home against the Panthers . . . there is one bowl game on Sunday night, with Southern Miss versus Troy (-4.5) in the New Orleans Bowl.

Chicago Blackhawks at Vancouver Canucks (-130, 5.5)

Vancouver is buzzing since Mats Sundin announced he was joining the Canucks earlier this week. The former Maple Leafs captain won't join the team until December 27 and won't get game action until after the New Year.

All that excitement is taking focus away from a tough home stand against the Blackhawks Saturday. Chicago isn't playing around, winning five straight games and six of its last seven outings heading into Friday night's game with Calgary. It's coming off a 9-2 smashing of another Western Canada club, the Edmonton Oilers, Tuesday.

During this stretch the Blackhawks are scoring almost five goals per game. But it's the defense that is making the big difference. Chicago's blueliners have limited opponents to just two goals a night in the last seven contests. The defensemen are also getting in on the fun, combining for 75 points which is the second most in the NHL.

"We've got guys that can get it out of trouble, get it to the forwards, then coming late they're dangerous, too," general manager Dale Tallon told reporters. "That's the kind of defense we wanted to build here."

Pick: Chicago



Toronto Maple Leafs at Pittsburgh Penguins (-220, 6)

The Pittsburgh Penguins welcomed goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury back into the fray in a win over the Atlanta Thrashers Thursday. However, six goals of support would make any goalie feel welcome.

Fleury stopped 28-of-31 shots for his ninth win of the season and the Pens' second in the past three games. In their previous victory, Pittsburgh put nine goals on the scoreboard and is apparently figuring out the scoring woes that had it winning just two of its last six. In their last five losses, the Penguins are averaging just over two goals.

Captain Sidney Crosby hasn't scored in eight games but has set up 13 goals in the last 10 contests. He could have easily snapped this skid Thursday on a 2-on-1 with Evgeni Malkin with an empty net staring him in the face. However, Sid made the unselfish move and gave Malkin the gimme goal.

"As nice as goals are and as nice as empty nets are, you just have to trust your instincts," Crosby told reporters. "I saw him open and made a play."

Pick: Pittsburgh

Miami Heat at New Jersey Nets (-3.5, 195.5)

Devin Harris and the Nets try to win consecutive home games for the first time this season Saturday when they host Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat.

Harris scored 41 points - six shy of his career high set earlier this season - in the Nets' 121-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. After receiving a standing ovation from Nets fans during his introduction, Jason Kidd's return to the Izod Center for the first time since last season's trade was overshadowed by the player New Jersey (13-12) got in return.

Harris finished 14 of 25 from the field - including 5-for-9 from 3-point range - and had a season-high 13 assists.

"(Devin had a) special night, but he works his tail off every night," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "It's good to have reinforcement with all that hard work that you can have special nights like this. But he's had a lot of special nights."

The Heat (13-12) are also looking to build momentum, after they snapped their three-game losing streak with an 89-87 victory Friday over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Wade scored 35 points after being held below 20 in the prior two games, as Miami withstood a late rally by the Lakers that fell short when Kobe Bryant's shot bounced off the rim.

Although the Heat had another underwhelming offensive showing, scoring fewer than 90 points for the fourth straight game, they forced 21 turnovers while holding the Lakers to their fewest points of the season.

The Heat won this season's first meeting with the Nets, 99-94 in Miami on Nov. 10, when Wade scored 33 points. Harris was sidelined with a sprained left ankle for New Jersey.

Pick: Over



Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns (-4.5, 222)

The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets have been two of the NBA's highest-scoring teams over the last several years, but both clubs have rededicated themselves to defense this season.

Based on recent results, the defensive development of each team is still a work in progress.

The Suns and Nuggets look to bounce back from disappointing defensive efforts as they square off Saturday night in Phoenix, where Denver hasn't won in more than three years.

Phoenix has ranked in the league's top three in scoring in each of the last four seasons, finishing first three times in that stretch thanks to a fast-paced offense that often left the team vulnerable defensively.

General manager Steve Kerr has made major changes over the last year to help the Suns strike a better balance, including the trade for Shaquille O'Neal last February and the offseason hiring of coach Terry Porter to replace Mike D'Antoni.

The results, however, have so far been disappointing. The Suns (15-11) have given up at least 100 points in 11 straight games, and are allowing 103.0 points per game to rank near the bottom of the league in scoring defense.

They delivered a strong offensive showing against Portland in their last game Thursday night, shooting 56.9 percent from the field and making 12 of their 18 3-point attempts. But they couldn't stop Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy, who scored a career-high 52 points as Portland beat Phoenix 124-119.

The Nuggets' transition has so far been smoother than the Suns'. They're in the middle of the pack in scoring defense, holding opponents to 98.4 points per game.

But Denver's defense has slipped in back-to-back losses. The Nuggets allowed Houston to shoot 55.3 percent in their 108-96 loss Tuesday before giving up 37 first-quarter points in a 105-88 loss to Cleveland on Friday night.

The Nuggets have done a lot of falling down in Phoenix, where they've dropped seven straight games since the beginning of the 2004-05 season. Denver won its two home games against Phoenix last season, but gave up 134.5 points per game in its two losses at US Airways Center.

Pick: Suns
