Storm (WNBA) are 7-1 in last eight vs. Sparks

Who's not

Indians are 1-5 in their last six.

Phillies are 1-5 in their last six.

Key stat

0 - Combined number of wins between pitchers Zach Duke of the Pirates and Chris Capuano of the Brewers in recent meetings entering tonight's game. Milwaukee is 0-9 in Cappy's last 10 starts at home while the Pirates are 0-10 in Duke's last nine starts in Milwaukee. Something's got to give tonight.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

The Cincinnati Reds placed star rookie Mike Leake on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a tired right shoulder. The team was preparing to cut back his innings, contemplating a move to the bullpen as to not overwork his arm, but opted for the DL. He is currently 8-4 with a 4.23 ERA in 22 starts and two relief appearances. Cincinnati expects Leake to return before the regular season ends.

Game of the day

Red Sox at Rays (-125, 7.5)

Notable quotable

"I think that it's asking too much of the women. They shouldn't be playing as many events as the men. ... you shouldn't push them to play more than they're capable of. ... It seems it takes an actual meltdown on the court or women quitting the game altogether before they realize there's a need to change the schedule."

Former four-time U.S. Open champion and CBS TV analyst said of the women's game during a conference call for next week's U.S. Open.

Tips and notes

The Arizona Cardinals will feature a new starting quarterback against the Bears tonight after two poor offensive showings in the preseason. Matt Leinart is upset with his demotion to second string behind Derek Anderson after he has directed the Cardinals to just three first downs and no points. Anderson is 24-of-41 for 193 yards, one TD and has directed the team to 15 first downs. Coach Ken Whisenhunt has said Leinart also will start the third quarter.

Injuries continue to alter the Red Sox's lineup and rotation. Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia likely will have season-ending foot surgery next week and be done for the season, He is among a handful of key Red Sox players to miss significant time this season with injuries. Lefthanded reliever Hideki Okajima rejoined the team Friday in Tampa but may not be activated from the diabled list while still rehabilitating a hamstring injury. And righthander Daisuke Matsuzaka, who was scratched from Friday's start vs. Tampa Bay with lower back soreness, may not make his rescheduled turn next week.

The new NFL rule that moves the umpire to behind the center on the offensive line before the snap appears to be having an impact on up-tempo teams. Thursday night's game between the Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers was particularly telling with Peyton Manning often bumping into the official while running the Colts' hurry-up attack. He was often delayed at the line of scrimmage while waiting for the umpire to back into position and has openly complained about the rule change. We'd like to say this new rule could impact scoring this season but this game saw a total of 83 points scored. It may, however, hurt teams with no-huddle offenses.

What bettors need to know: Saturday's NFL preseason action

Cleveland Browns at Detroit Lions (-2.5, 38)

Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has outlined his Week 3 preseason gameplan and would like for his starters to play into the third quarter of Saturday’s game.

"I'm not 100 percent set on it," Schwartz said. "There'll be some exceptions in there, but for the most part I'd like to be able to do that."

Matthew Stafford and the other first-teamers played four series against Denver last week, which spanned over the first two quarters. Shaun Hill backed him up in the second half before Drew Stanton came in for Detroit’s final two possessions.

Jake Delhomme and the Browns starters played the first half of last Saturday’s game versus the Rams. Seneca Wallace also got some reps with the first-stringers during the third quarter before giving way to Colt McCoy and Brett Ratliff in the fourth.

McCoy didn’t complete a pass during his two, three-and-out series and many have speculated that he’s on the roster bubble. Mangini said that Delhomme and Wallace would see the majority of playing time Saturday while McCoy and Ratliff will split time in the fourth preseason game.

Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills (+3, 35)

It’s not even the regular season yet and Terrell Owens has initiated a war of words. T.O. placed a target on his back after dubbing himself “Batman” and joining forces with Chad Ochocinco (Robin) in Cincinnati.

"For this week, address us (the secondary) by Mr. Freeze,” Bills cornerback Drayton Florence said. “We're just going to go out and try to shut them down."

Bettors must be aware that this will be the Bengals’ fourth preseason contest after playing in the Hall of Fame Game. That may mean the starters won’t be on the field as long as expected. Last week, Carson Palmer and the starters played through the first half (seven series) before J.T. O’Sullivan saw action in the third quarter and then Jordan Palmer in the final frame.

The Bills will again be thin in the backfield as Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch recover from injuries but rookie C.J. Spiller shined in his starting role last Thursday. Buffalo will be without linebacker Reggie Torbor for three weeks.

New York Giants at Baltimore Ravens (-4, 37.5)

This line was off the board until Thursday because the playing status of Eli Manning hadn’t been confirmed. He has deemed himself ready to play but there has been no official word from the Giants. Backup quarterback Jim Sorgi will miss the game with a shoulder injury.

Sportsbooks opened the spread anywhere from 3.5 to 7 in favor of the Ravens but that has since settled at 4. Cornerback Aaron Ross, safety Michael Johnson, wide receiver Ramses Barden, center Shaun O’Hara and running back D.J. Ware will not play for New York.

The Ravens are 2-0 ATS this year and 5-1 ATS in their last six preseason games. Bettors can reach back to a John Harbaugh quote from the first week as the source of the team’s success.

“You can lose all four preseason games and go out and win a Super Bowl. My guess is that’s been done before,” Harbaugh said. “But we sure rather win. I’d rather get the feel of winning. So we’re going to try to win them all. That’s our goal.”

Harbaugh had his starters play one possession into the second half of Baltimore’s third preseason game last year.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3, 36.5)

The Bucs surfaced as 1.5-point favorites for this game but the injury to Josh Freeman has moved the spread upward. Tampa Bay’s starting quarterback will miss the remainder of the preseason after fracturing the tip of his right thumb.

Josh Johnson started four games for Tampa Bay last season and will assume the starting role. The team went 0-4 in those games. Rudy Carpenter will serve as the backup under center and the Bucs resigned Jevan Snead as insurance. It hasn’t been pretty, but Tampa Bay is 2-0 ATS this preseason.

Jacksonville has yielded 28 and 27 points in their two preseason outings with both games sailing over the total by an average of 19.7 points.

Jack Del Rio had his regulars play the entire first half of last year’s Week 3 preseason contest.

Rain has battered Florida for the past few weeks and there is a 50-60 percent chance of precipitation leading up to this game. Forecasts have projected a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms Saturday night.

Tennessee Titans at Carolina Panthers (-3, 36.5)

The Titans looked dominant in Monday night’s preseason win over Arizona but will have to deal with a short turnaround as well as travel this week.

Vince Young and most of Tennessee’s starters played four offensive possessions Monday. Chris Johnson only appeared in one series.

In Week 3 of the preseason last year, Jeff Fisher’s regulars didn’t even play through the first half but it was technically the fourth exhibition because the Titans also played in the Hall of Fame Game. Fisher holds a career 4-9 record in Week 3 preseason games.

Carolina has scored a total of 15 points in two preseason contests and to no surprise is 0-2 ATS. Matt Moore and the starting offense haven’t posted a touchdown to date and that unit only managed 45 yards on 33 first-half plays during a 9-3 loss to the Jets last weekend.

The Panthers are 0-7 in their last seven preseason contests. John Fox had his starters play a full three quarters in last year’s Week 3 game.

Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings (-5, 38)

Brad Childress had planned on giving Brett Favre around 10 snaps in Sunday’s game versus San Francisco but that plan was adjusted after he took a hard-knock sack. Favre took four snaps and completed one pass for 13 yards before exiting.

Last year, Favre missed Minnesota’s first preseason game, played sparingly in the second and then logged one possession into the second half of Week 3. Tarvaris Jackson will serve as the backup this week but Sage Rosenfels could see the majority of action during the second half as rumors continue to swirl that he is being showcased as trade bait.

Sidney Rice was never going to play in this game but after undergoing hip surgery that will keep him out half the season, forcing the Vikings to sign veteran Javon Walker as insurance. They also recently traded for former Dolphin Greg Camarillo.

The Seahawks were dealt a major blow when their sixth-overall pick, offensive tackle Russell Okung, sustained a high-ankle sprain last Saturday. He will miss the remainder of the preseason and possibly more.

Matt Hasselbeck appeared in all five series during the first half last weekend. Charlie Whitehurst was under center for the third and fourth quarters. Justin Forsett started the game at tailback but Leon Washington looked better than Forsett and Julius Jones and practiced with the first team all week. Seattle is 0-2 ATS in the preseason.

Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans (-3, 40.5)

This game total has been bet up two points since opening at 38.5. The Cowboys played to the over in four preseason games last year but all three of their 2010 contests have gone under.

Tony Romo and the starters amassed a total of 49 yards during four, first-half possessions last weekend. Jon Kitna was under center in the third quarter before giving way to Stephen McGee.

Dallas will be without a myriad of regulars Saturday including offensive linemen Marc Columbo and Kyle Kosier, safety Gerald Sensabaugh, defensive end Marcus Spears and linebacker Keith Brooking. Thin at the tight end position, Martellus Bennett is expected to return for this game.

The Texans have moved spreads in their favor for both preseason games thus far but they lost and failed to cover the number in both.

Houston’s defense was nonexistent last Saturday when the Saints hung 28 first-half points on them. Brian Cushing is playing in the preseason but the team is still very thin in the linebacker corps. Xavier Adibi and Danny Clark are not expected to play this week while Darryl Sharpton has swollen knee, but Gary Kubiak said he should play.

“We’ve got some issues, especially at the linebacker position,” Kubiak said. “We’re really down on numbers, especially at that position.”

Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky will be the two-man rotation at quarterback Saturday. Kubiak had Schaub play for the first half in last year’s Week 3 preseason game but some of the starters, including Steve Slaton, saw three quarters of action.

Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears (-3.5, 36.5)

Ken Whisenhunt announced Thursday that Derek Anderson will start the game but the quarterback position battle between he and Matt Leinart is still ongoing. The plan is that Leinart will come off the bench late in the second quarter and play into the second half.

Leinart played in three series Monday night, all three-and-outs, while Anderson led the offense to a field goal during his five possessions. Whisenhunt had his starters play the first two quarters of their Week 3 preseason game a year ago.

The Cardinals have lost six of their last seven preseason games and have to deal with the shortened-week factor as well as travel from Tennessee, back to Arizona and then to Chicago.

Mike Martz said the Bears’ offense has appeared “dysfunctional at times” this preseason because that’s how it’s supposed to look. He added that the playbook has barely opened as the offense is still experimenting with different things.

Lovie Smith had his starters play the first half of last year’s Week 3 preseason contest. Safety Josh Bullocks, who has been sidelined with a quad injury, is expected to return for this game.

San Francisco 49ers at Oakland Raiders (-1, 36)

The Battle of the Bay will feature two unbeaten teams straight up and against the spread. Since 2003, the winner of this rivalry has flip-flopped every year, so history suggests Oakland will win after the Niners took the game 21-20 last preseason.

But early money didn’t follow the trend as this spread has dropped from an opener of 2.5. San Francisco hasn’t covered the spread against the Raiders in the last two meetings.

When asked about starters’ playing time, Oakland head coach Tom Cable said, “We’ll treat this week more like how a normal game week would be.”

Jason Campbell has played the entire first half of each of the preseason games thus far, so he should go at least that long. Last year in Week 3, Cable had his starters play midway through the third quarter.

After missing the first two preseason contests, Mike Singletary suggested that Frank Gore will play this week. Singletary also said that Vernon Davis was day-to-day but that Michael Crabtree will suit up and play about a quarter.

Last year during Week 3, Singletary had his starters play one possession into the third quarter.

Canadian Bacon: CFL Week 9 Analysis and predictions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Eskimos (+7, 57.5)

The Eskimos are still looking for their second win of the season and, even at home, it won’t come easy against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Until this year, playing at home gave them a huge advantage because of the natural turf, which was unique in the league. That isn’t the case anymore. So far this year, they have only won a single of their four games on the new artificial turf of Commonwealth Stadium.

Since the start of 2010, the Eskimos defense has been falling in pieces. They have only 12 sacks against the opposing QB’s which ranks second worst in the league. Because of injuries to Dario Romero, Kai Ellis and Greg Peach, the defensive front is now quite fragile. This is a team that lost 56-15 to the Stampeders 10 days ago and these Roughriders are just as scary.

Without Ricky Ray, these Esks are going to enter a slaughterhouse at home. And everyone knows that amongst the 50,000-plus expected at the Commonwealth Stadium Saturday, the Riders Nation will be more visible than usual. So much for home field.

Pick: Saskatchewan

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida Marlins at Atlanta Braves (-180, 7.5)

The Braves are coming off a woeful series in which they were swept in three games at Colorado. But don’t be fooled into thinking that the NL East-leading Braves are suddenly playing bad baseball. They simply aren’t that good on the road; 29-37 to be exact.

For this series, though, Atlanta is back at home where it is by far the best team in baseball. The Braves are a daunting 44-17; no other team in the majors has fewer than 20 losses at home (ironically, that’s Colorado).

Atlanta is batting .269 as a team at Turner field compared to .250 on the road. The Braves score 4.87 runs at home while getting 4.51 across the plate as visitors. Their home ERA: 2.97. Their road ERA? Well, that balloons to 4.06.

The Marlins have won two in a row and seven of their last 10 heading into this series. Hanley Ramirez had 10 hits in a three-game series at the Mets earlier this week (the most of his career in such a span), but he will be hard-pressed to duplicate that feat with Tim Hudson going for Atlanta on Saturday.

Pick: Braves

Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays (-125, 7.5)

The Red Sox are 5.5 games out in the AL East with Tampa Bay and New York tied atop the division, so this might as well be a must-win series for Boston.

Easier said than done, of course, for the Sox. Kevin Youkilis is out for the year, Mike Cameron is having surgery on Friday, Dustin Pedroia is about to have season-ending surgery, and Jacoby Ellsbury might be out for the season as well.

The Rays, on the other hand, are flying high and invoking memories of 2008 when they made it to the World Series.

“It's exciting,” Matt Joyce said of the current pennant race. “Every day means something. You know you're playing for something. This is the way the game is supposed to be played. This makes it fun and enjoyable.”

One piece of good news for the Sox is that Clay Buchholz is taking the mound on Saturday, but the Rays are countering with Matt Garza, of no-hit fame.

Pick: Rays

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Clay Buchholz (15-5, 2.26 ERA) Boston Red Sox

We'd love to tell you Buchholz's ERA over his last three games, but the truth is he doesn't have one. That's right, it's 0.00 over his last 21 innings of work.

Buchholz has four straight wins and hasn't allowed an earned run since Aug. 6, thrusting himself prominently into the AL Cy Young Award conversation.

Perhaps most impressively, the Red Sox are 9-1 in his last 10 starts.

John Garland (13-8, 3.25 ERA) San Diego Padres

Garland has been hotter than Hades in the month of August, going 4-1 with an 0.98 ERA. Two of his last three outings were shutouts over six and seven innings.

The 6-foot-6 right-hander has been especially strong this season at home (7-2 with a 2.49 ERA), where he will face the Phillies today.

One word of caution: Garland is 0-4 lifetime with a 7.94 ERA against Philadelphia.

CC Sabathia (17-5, 3.02 ERA) New York Yankees

CC has won his last four starts, including a 10-0 shutout victory over the Seattle Mariners in six shutout innings, and he only left early because of a rain delay.

His previous starts have lasted 7, 8 and 8 2/3 frames - all for more than 100 pitches - so his durability seems to be a non-issue.

Sabathia has a 24/6 strikeout-to-walk ration during that span and he's 15-4 lifetime against the Chicago White Sox.

Slumping

Livan Hernandez (8-9, 3.36) Washington Nationals

Hernandez is showing all the signs of a tired pitcher. He is 0-2 and the Nationals are 0-4 in his last four starts, none of which have lasted more than seven innings.

The right-hander has thrown more walks (13) than strikeouts (11) during that span and has been working from behind in the count on numerous occasions.

In Monday's game against the light-hitting Cubs, Livan needed 121 pitches to get through 4 1/3 innings. The Cubs knocked him around for 10 hits and seven runs.

Barry Zito (8-9, 3.78) San Francisco Giants

Zito hasn't picked up a since July 16 and hasn't lasted seven innings since Aug. 6. Still, his recent outings qualify him as a slumper even by last month's standards.

The left-hander has worked just 16 innings over his last four appearances, allowing 28 hits and 14 runs during that stretch. In fairness, one was a relief appearance in which he let the Reds score the winning run.

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 28 in Baseball History...

1884 - Mickey Welch of the New York Gothams sets the all-time major league record by fanning the first nine Philadelphia batters he faces. Welch wins 39 games this year and in just 13 seasons will win 307.

1921 - Babe Ruth starts a record streak in which he gets at least one extra-base hit in nine straight games.

1926 - Dutch Levsen of the Cleveland Indians pitched two complete-game victories over the Boston Red Sox, 6-1 and 5-1. He did not strike out a batter in either game. The Indians used the identical lineup in both games.

1932 - The Red Sox eclipse the Indians in the second game of a doubleheader 4-3 in 11 innings. The game was previously scheduled for August 31, but a solar eclipse was due and blackened the ballpark for twenty minutes, so the game is played today instead.

1938 - On Connie Mack Day at Shibe Park, the A's win a doubleheader from the White Sox, setting a league record by playing their seventh successive twinbill in eight days.

1950 - Earle and Roy Mack, Connie's sons by his first marriage, purchase 54 percent interest in the Athletics from Connie Mack, Jr., their younger brother from a second marriage. Earle, Roy and Connie Mack now own the club outright.

1951 - The Braves sell pitcher Johnny Sain to the Yankees for $50,000 and a young pitcher named Lew Burdette. It is another late-season insurance measure for the New Yorkers.

1951 - The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Giants 2-0, snapping the Giants' 16-game winning streak. The streak enabled the Giants to cut the Dodgers 13 1/2-game lead to six.

1958 - White Sox second baseman Nellie Fox sets a record for consecutive games without striking out (98).

1967 - Boston signs free-agent outfielder Ken Harrelson. Harrelson reportedly receives a $75,000 bonus and salary package for 1967 and 1968. Harrelson will homer in his first Boston at bat but will hit just .200 for the Red Sox in 1967. The next year, however, he will become an All-Star and lead the American League with 109 RBI.

Phoenix Mercury at San Antonio Silver Stars (+1.5, 187)

The San Antonio Silver Stars are finding it tough keeping pace with the defending WNBA champs in their opening-round series against the Phoenix Mercury.

San Antonio scored 96 points in Game 1 Thursday, shooting over 47 percent from the floor. However, the Silver Stars allowed Phoenix to throw in 106 points on 57 percent shooting and fell behind 0-1 in this best-of-three postseason set.

The Silver Stars are struggling to match the offensive depth of the Mercury, who had four players score in double figures Thursday. San Antonio was able to limit league-leading scorer, Diana Taurasi, to just 14 points but watched as Phoenix forward Candice Dupree poured in a game-high 32 points.

A big problem is the hole in the Silver Stars’ lineup after losing forward and former MVP Chamique Holdsclaw for the remainder of the season due to an Achilles’ tendon tear last week. Holdsclaw, who joined San Antonio this season, averaged more than 13 points and five rebounds per game.

"I don't think that any one person steps in and fills those shoes, but collectively we can all get in there and grab one or two rebounds more," guard Becky Hammon told reports about losing Holdsclaw for the playoffs.

Without a scoring presence in the frontcourt, San Antonio will continue to fall short on the scoreboard against an explosive and experienced Mercury squad.

Pick: Phoenix -1.5

Seattle Storm at Los Angeles Sparks (+6.5, 150)

The Seattle Storm are hell bent on moving into the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Seattle has been eliminated in the opening round of the postseason in five straight years. And three of those defeats have come at the hands of the Los Angeles Sparks. The Storm appear ready to return the favor after a 79-66 win as 11.5-point favorites in Game 1 Wednesday.

"We don't want to bring it back to the Key (Key Arena)," Seattle forward Swin Cash, who scored a game-high 20 points, told reporters after Game 1’s win. "We love our fans, but we don't want to be back here. As much rest as possible and as much practice time as we can get is always a good thing, going into the next round."

Wednesday’s win marked the fourth straight victory for Seattle, going back to the regular season, and gave bettors their second payday during that stretch. The Storm have won six games in a row over the Sparks (4-1-1 ATS) and can hand L.A. its first opening-round elimination since 2005 with another “W” at STAPLES Center Saturday afternoon.

Pick: Seattle -6.5

Daily Sports Roundup: August 28

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Yankees play on the road against the White Sox, the Astros take on the Mets, and the Giants continue their preseason in Baltimore.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

A busy NFL preseason schedule for Saturday offers up Cleveland at Detroit (-2.5), Cincinnati (-3) at Buffalo, Jacksonville (-2.5) at Tampa Bay, Dallas at Houston (-3), Tennessee at Carolina (-3), Seattle at Minnesota (-5.5), Arizona at Chicago (-3.5), San Francisco at Oakland (-1), and the Giants at Baltimore (-4). The Ravens are undefeated so far during the preseason, beating Carolina 17-12 at home in Week 1 and bouncing Washington 23-3 on the road last week. The Giants beat the Jets 31-16 in their exhibition opener, then lost 24-17 to Pittsburgh last week. Giants quarterback Eli Manning will return from his facial injuries to start the game for his team Saturday night.

There's also one Canadian Football League game on tap for Saturday, with Saskatchewan at Edmonton. The Roughriders (5-2 SU, 5-2 ATS) blasted the Lions 37-13 last time out, while the Eskimos (1-6 SU, 2-5 ATS) are riding a two-game losing streak. Oddsmakers have Saskatchewan pegged as a 7-point road favorite for Saturday.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Saturday has Detroit at Toronto, Minnesota at Seattle, Kansas City at Cleveland, Boston at Tampa Bay, Oakland at Texas, Baltimore at the Angels, and the Yankees at the White Sox. CC Sabathia (17-5, 3.02 ERA) is set to take on John Danks (12-8, 3.31 ERA) in that last matchup. Lefthander Sabathia has picked up the win in each of his past four starts, blanking the Mariners on three hits over six innings of work last time out. Lefthander Danks had to settle for a no-decision against the Royals in his last trip to the mound, surrendering two runs over six innings.

Over in the National League on Saturday it's then Philadelphia at San Diego, St. Louis at Washington, the Cubs at Cincinnati, Florida at Atlanta, Pittsburgh at Milwaukee, the Dodgers at Colorado, Arizona at San Francisco, and Houston at the Mets. Brett Myers (9-7, 3.08 ERA) is slated to pitch for the Astros on Saturday, while the Mets give the ball to Johan Santana (10-8, 2.94 ERA). Righthander Myers got back into the win column last time out, holding the Phillies to two runs on nine hits over his seven innings of work. Lefthander Santana lost to the Astros on August 17, giving up four runs in eight innings.

Rounding out the Roundup . . .

Finally, the WNBA playoffs continue with two games on Saturday: Seattle at Los Angeles, and Phoenix at San Antonio. The Storm rolled over the Sparks in Game 1 of their first-round series on Wednesday night, winning 79-66 at home behind 17 points and nine rebounds from Lauren Jackson. Marie Ferdinand-Harris tossed in 18 points for Los Angeles in that loss. As well, the Mercury won the opener of their best-of-three series with the Silver Stars by a score of 106-93 at home on Thursday. Candice Dupree had 32 points for Phoenix in the win, while Becky Hammon had 19 points for the Sparks.

Cleveland Browns at Detroit Lions [5:00 PM ET]

BROWNS: Cleveland has played in 2 very close games, winning impressively on the road in Green Bay, and losing at home to the Rams. The loss to St. Louis stung a bit, simply because Cleveland had 113 more total yards than the Rams did. The last time these two teams met, the teams combined for 75 PTS, with the Lions winning 38-37. Cleveland will look to QB Jake Delhomme to exact some revenge on the Lions, as he's been surprisingly productive this preseason. Delhomme has thrown for 193 YDS and a TD for a QB Rating of 116.1 this preseason. Proven backup QB Seneca Wallace has also been solid, as he had 3 TD's this preseason with a QB Rating of 95.3. Just like the Lions, the Cleveland defense has allowed an average of 21.5 PPG in their 2 preseason games thus far. Against the Lions, the Browns are shorthanded at RG, with injuries and dismissals. Highly touted QB Colt McCoy is also fighting for a roster spot, although he looks like he's on the outside looking in.

Cleveland is 1-1 both SU and ATS this preseason.

Key Injuries - DB Chris Roberson (ankle) is out.

Projected Score: 17

LIONS: (-2.5, O/U 38) Detroit has had a very productive preseason, despite being a pedestrian 1-1 so far. The Lions have played both of their preseason games on the road, yet they've been able have more yards than their opposition in both games. QB's Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill have both been solid, as both have QB Ratings over 90. Stafford has throw for 191 YDS and 2 TD's, against a lone INT. Defensively, the Lions have given up an average of 21.5 PPG in their 2 preseason games this year. Considering their overall struggles of the past few years, it's no surprise that the Lions are bringing in talented players who failed with other teams. Head coach Jim Schwartz has voiced his displeasure with his 2nd team defense, as well as the punting coverage units. At home, the Lions will look to build momentum with their 2nd win in 3 preseason games this season.

Detroit is 1-1 both SU and ATS this preseason.

Key Injuries - K Jason Hanson (knee) is out.

Projected Score: 24 (SIDE of the Day)

Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans [CBS | 8:00 PM ET]

COWBOYS: Dallas will be playing their final preseason game of the year, so it's very questionable how much playing time the 1st units will get. Dallas is coming off a great road win in San Diego, as they were able to outlast the Chargers 16-14. All 3 preseason games for Dallas have been low scoring, with no side scoring more than 17 PTS in the 3 games total. To no surprise, all 3 games went Under the posted total. The Cowboys are a bit concerned with their offense, as they averaged less than 14 PPG this preseason. Star QB Tony Romo only threw for 141 YDS this preseason, with a QB Rating of only 58.8. On the other side of the ball, the Dallas defense has been superb during the preseason. The Cowboys have only allowed 38 PTS in their 3 preseason games this year. CB Terrance Newman has been especially solid, earning rave reviews from fellow teammates and from the coaching staff this preseason.

Dallas is 2-1 both SU and ATS this preseason. WR Dez Bryant (knee) is out.

Projected Score: 13

TEXANS: (-3, O/U 40.5) Houston has been one of the more disappointing teams this preseason, as they've lost both of their games both SU and ATS. Houston lost to both Arizona and New Orleans, two tough NFC teams. Finally at home, Houston will look to put their best foot forward tonight in the most important preseason game of the year. Houston has been working hard on changing their identify on offense, looking to run the football far more this year. Unfortunately, Houston has had 3 critical fumbles this preseason, a cause for concern after all the fumbles they had last year. QB Matt Schaub is the leader of this team, and he's been stellar this preseason. Schaub has thrown for 195 YDS this preseason, while completing better than 80% of his passes for a QB Rating of 138.3. Defensively, the Texans need to improve in a hurry as they've given up 57 PTS in 2 games thus far.

Houston is 0-2 both SU and ATS this preseason.

Key Injuries - LB Xavier Adibi (groin) is out.

Projected Score: 20 (UNDER-Total of the Day)
