Line to watch

Akron at Temple: The Owls are getting a strong lean from bettors, opening at minus-27 but quickly seeing that line bulge to minus-29.5.

North Texas at Western Kentucky: It only took one win for the Hilltoppers to gain support, opening at minus-3.5 but quickly seeing their momentum of a first victory from last week push the line to minus-6.

Utah State at Nevada: The Wolf Pack opened at minus-24, but have seen heavy action come their way as the line has shifted to minus-26.5.

Giants at Rangers: Bettors seem to be getting behind the hosts as Texas opened at minus-147, but have seen that number fall to minus-152 with many services.

Who’s hot

The over is 7-3-1 in the Senators past 11 home games.

The Blackhawks are 14-5 in their past 19 road games.

The Spurs are 11-4-1 ATS in their past 16 road games.

The over is 7-1-1 in the Bucks past 9 home games.

Who’s not

The Devils are 7-20 in their past 27 road games.

The Sabres are 4-9 in their past 13 road games.

The Timberwolves are 5-15-1 ATS in their past 21 games overall.

The under is 6-2 in the Rockets past eight home games.

Key stat

2 – Of seven teams have opened the World Series with two losses by at least four runs each and then rallied to win the Fall Classic. The teams? The Dodgers in 1965 against the Twins and Yankees in 1996 against the Braves.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

How about you just pick a player on Texas Tech? Six or more players missed practice Wednesday because of a stomach virus, according to coach Tommy Tuberville. The former Auburn boss declined to name specific players, but the illness ravaging his team could have an impact on his team’s performance against the Aggies in College Station this weekend. “It’s kind of gone through the team. We’ve had about 10, 12 guys (affected) this week,” Tuberville said. “Hopefully, we can get some guys back out here the next couple of days and we don’t lose any more. We’re trying to keep anybody away that’s had it, because it’s obviously pretty contagious.”

Game of the day

Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs (-2, 48)

Notable quotable

“I think you have to look at all the parts we have next year before you decide. Who's going to DH most of the time? How do you split up your lefties? Things like that. The parts are going to be different in 2011 so we'll have to evaluate what you've got first before you make any decisions." -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi on setting his lineup next season.

Notes and tips

It looks like the Raiders will stay with the hot hand and start quarterback Jason Campbell on Sunday against the Seahawks. The team pushed information all week about the status of Bruce Gradkowski and his return from injury, but the team announced on Friday that Campbell would lead the team after guiding the Silver and Black to a 59-14 annihilation of Denver. Campbell is completing nearly 57 percent of his passes this season and has thrown four touchdowns against four interceptions.

Know that whole bit about Delonte West making the Boston Celtics a better team by brining a balanced game and depth at both guard positions off the bench? Yeah, well he apparently has been rubbing people around the team the wrong way, culminating with a cold-cock to the head of Von Wafer after the former Florida State star walked off the court during a heated three-on-three game. The team is trying to down-play the fiasco, but sources around the team say it is only a matter of time before West is cut. He might not even make it past his 10 game suspension which ends in mid-November.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane is firmly entrenched in coach Joel Quenneville’s dog house. Kane, a horrid minus-6 this early in the season, was relegated to the checking line in a 3-1 win over the L.A. Kings earlier this week. The offensive star has been sloppy with the puck in the neutral zone and been lackadaisical on his responsibilities in the defensive end. Kane does have two goals and six assists, but one of the reasons for the defending champion’s erratic play is his erratic performances.

Payoff Pitch: Today's Best Mound Matchup
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jonathan Sanchez, San Francisco Giants vs. Colby Lewis, Texas Rangers

Jonathan Sanchez (13-9, 3.07 ERA)

When the left-hander is on the mound, you know two things: he is going to walk a lot of people and you will see a filthy curve ball.

Sanchez was eighth in the National League in strikeouts this season with 205 thanks to his fantastic hook, but also led the Senior Circuit with 96 walks, a staggering number of free passes, especially considering he averages just under 98 pitches per start. It’s a wonder he ever makes it out of the fifth inning.

In his most recent start in Game 6 against Philadelphia, an altercation with Chase Utley left him so rattled that he had to be pulled after giving up two runs over a meager two innings. Also over that span, he threw an absurd 50 pitches and walked a pair.

Not good news for facing a Texas lineup looking to find its groove and breakout after getting shutout in Game 2.

"I'm going to go there with the same mentality I always have," Sanchez told MLB.com. "You're not always going to have a perfect game, so you just have to be realistic. There are going to be good days and there are going to be bad ones."

Colby Lewis (12-13, 3.72 ERA)

And if you think Sanchez has a nasty curve ball, then you need to pay close attention when Lewis takes the bump.

Lewis threw the curve an average of 11.2 times per start before mid-September, with opponents hitting .304 against it. But since then, he is throwing it 14.6 times per outing with opponents hitting just .056 against it when they make contact. And in the playoffs he has leaned on the pitch even more. Through three postseason outings, he is tossing 18.7 curves per start.

And it’s not like the Yankees could hit it.

In two victories over the Bronx Bombers and their vaunted batting order, Lewis went a combined 13.2 innings, giving up just nine hits and allowing a measly three earned runs. His biggest issue -- like Sanchez -- is his walks. In three postseason starts, he has 18 punch-outs, but also has a postseason-leading issued 11 free passes.

"He has swing-and-miss stuff," Rangers manager Ron Washington told MLB.com. "When he's commanding the strike zone, he's as tough as any pitcher in the game. We've needed him twice so far in this postseason, and he's come through, and that's why we're so confident with Colby."

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

San Francisco Giants at Texas Rangers (-152, 8.5)

So maybe this will be the round where the Rangers finally embrace home field advantage?

The Rangers reached the postseason by being among the best in the league at home, posting a 51-30 record in their own back yard. During the regular season, Texas averaged a whopping 5.3 runs per game at home and supported that number with a solid 93 home runs and 136 doubles. At home, the team also is hitting a phenomenal .288, making the most of opposing pitchers’ mistakes.

This postseason, however, the team is averaging nearly a run per game less -- 4.6 per game -- and is just 2-3 in its own yard. But anything familiar would be good for the Rangers at this point, as the team needs to win Game 3 of the World Series to have a legitimate chance at claiming a title in its first appearance in the Fall Classic.

"Now that we're home, we feel comfortable back in this place. Not taking anything away from the Giants, they beat us soundly," Texas manager Ron Washington told the Associated Press. "We've just got to come back here, get focused and win a game. We win a game, everything will be fine."

The team may be gripping the bat tight, but should be able to get loose on Saturday night and do enough to keep this series interesting.

Pick: Rangers

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

Portland Trail Blazers at New York Knicks (+4.5, 197.5)

What are they putting in the Trail Blazers’ Gatorade? Portland is outscoring its opponents 59-28 in the fourth quarter through two games this season.

“We were taking too many jump shots in the third quarter,” Blazers point guard Andre Miller told the Portland Tribune after the 98-88 win over the Clippers on Wednesday. “The fourth quarter, our defense forced some turnovers and the ball fell our way.”

Portland is getting some great work from its bigs in the paint. Nate McMillan’s club has outrebounded its opposition by double digits in each game this season.

That’s not good news for the Knicks. Mike D’Antonio’s team is known for its effort on the perimeter, not in the key. Look for Portland to expose a New York team coming off a Friday night game against Boston.

Pick: Portland

Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets (-5, 212)

Defense is the topic in Houston these days. Head coach Rick Adelman is steaming after back-to-back defensive no-shows.

"We must be better than we were defensively than last year," he told the Houston Chronicle. "If not, we're going to have a hard time."

Houston gave up 132 points against Golden State on Wednesday night and 112 against the Lakers on Tuesday. To help sure up its iffy defense, Houston signed veteran center Erik Dampier on Friday to play extensive minutes on nights that Yao Ming rests his ailing body.

The Rockets already have Brad Miller and Luis Scola but neither big man is considered to be much of a shot-blocking presence.

The Dampier signing should help but it won’t be enough to slow down the fast-starting Nuggets.

Pick: Denver

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

New York Rangers at Toronto Maple Leafs

These Original Six rivals clash for the third time this season, having split the first two meeting of the schedule.

New York, which downed Toronto 2-1 last week, will be coming off a game against the Carolina Hurricanes Friday night while the Maple Leafs have had a full day to recover from a 2-0 loss to the Boston Bruins Thursday.

No O’ in T.O.

After exploding on offense to start the season, Toronto has stumbled with the puck in recent games. The Maple Leafs are just 1-4 in their last five games, totaling just four goals in those four losses including a shutout defeat to the Bruins Thursday.

“We just couldn’t generate much,” Leafs coach Ron Wilson told the Toronto Sun. “Timmy Thomas has given up three goals in five games. He’s on top of things.”

While that scoring slump has paid off for NHL total bettors, who have cashed in on the under in four of those contests, the lack of offense has dropped the Leafs to second in the Northeast Division heading into Saturday night.

Fallen Leafs

Toronto is dealing with some injuries to key players heading into the weekend. Forward Colby Armstrong is out four to six weeks after breaking his finger and fellow winger Kris Versteeg is nursing a sore back and is listed as questionable for Saturday.

Those losses take a lot of energy out of the Toronto lineup, which the team is hoping to replace with callup Luca Caputi, who was limited in Thursday’s loss.

“Nothing’s ever written in stone,” Caputi told the Toronto Star. “You’re only as good as your last shift. It’s ‘What have you done lately?’ not what you’ve done in the past.”

Flipping the switch

The Rangers had a three-game winning streak snapped by a 6-4 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers Wednesday.

New York head coach John Tortorella is still looking for the right mix among his forward corps and has been playing musical chairs with the return of some injured players. Artem Anisimov is expected back Friday night after missing time with an ankle injury and could have some new linemates.

Erik Christensen and Todd White both had time with the first-line forwards this past week and Brian Boyle was put on the so-called “checking line” with Sean Avery and Ruslan Fedotenko. Tortorella told the media he will continue to tinker with the lineups in the early parts of the season and is keeping a close eye on the talented Christensen, who has yet to find a solid spot on the team.

"It's about trying to make a difference," Tortorella told the New York post of Christensen’s future with the club. "It's been brought to his attention, and we'll continue to work with him on that, but sooner or later the player has to take hold of it."

Washington Capitals at Calgary Flames

Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals go west to face the Flames Saturday night. Each team brings a 6-4 record into this game and both are coming off losses in their most recent outing. Washington is 6-2-2 in its last 10 games against Calgary, however, those two defeats have come in the teams’ last two clashes, including a 5-3 win for the Flames in D.C. last March.

Fanning the Flames

Calgary coach Brent Sutter is no stranger to strong words. He blasted his players following Thursday’s 6-5 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, calling out his veterans for their lack of direction this season.

“The only way you can consistently be a good hockey team is if you understand that it doesn’t matter who you are, this is what you have to do,” Sutter told the media. “It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in the past, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done somewhere else in the past, this is our team - this is the way we have to play.

“There’s no one left off the hook. Until everyone understands that? This is going to happen.”

The Flames, who took a three-game winning streak into Thursday, were outscored 3-1 in the third period, getting outshot 15-3 in the final 20 minutes. That defensive lull gave total bettors their second straight win on the over and evened Calgary’s over/under mark to 5-5 on the year.

Sutter expects his team to play until the final whistle and not take its foot of the gas when it has a lead. Hockey fans should see a relentless Flames attack if they manage to get a lead on the Capitals Saturday night.

“We want to keep scoring goals, for sure, but we can’t give up goals like that,” center Matthew Stajan told the Calgary Herald. “You know, it’s the NHL and to win championships in this league, you’ve got to be able to shut the door when you get a lead. Giving up a lot of goals in the third period on home ice in the last two games just simply isn’t good enough. We know that in this dressing room.”

Weary Washington

The Capitals suffered their third loss in the past five games with a lackluster effort against the Minnesota Wild Thursday night. Washington, which was playing in its second straight contest, fell 2-1 to the Wild and managed to get only 12 shots on goal in the first two periods of the game – 22 in total.

“It was a really disappointing effort, I thought, from our team for about 50 minutes. You can't play 10 minutes in this league and hope to win a game,” Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters. “We can't let the other team take the game to us for the first half of the game. It looked like we were in quicksand. We weren't moving the puck. We couldn't handle the puck.”

Washington has just one day off before making the trip to Alberta for the third and final game of its road trip. The Capitals offense has been sluggish, falling short of its season numbers. They average 32 shots per game and score an average of 2.7 goals a night.

With Saturday’s tilt being the third game in four days for Washington, NHL bettors may want to avoid what should be a hefty price tag on the visiting team. The Capitals are just 2-3 on the road and average only two goals in opposing rinks this season.

Ice picks: Today's best NHL bets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Bruins at Ottawa Senators (+106, 5)

The way 36-year-old Tim Thomas is playing, if you get a puck past him, you better frame it.

Thomas has allowed only three goals on a whopping 156 shots this season, posting a 5-0-0 record with a pair of shutouts. His goals-against average is a microscopic 0.60 and his save percentage figures out to a stupid .981. At 5-foot-11, 182-pounds, the native of Flint, Michigan, is the closest thing to a wall in the league this season.

And don’t expect him to make things easy on the resurgent Senators. Ottawa has won two straight and is playing much better defensively.

"I'm hoping this isn't just a hot streak; this is me now," Thomas, who had offseason surgery on the labrum in his left hip, told the Associated Press. "At times last year I felt like I was a one-legged goalie."

Overall, four of the team’s past five meetings have gone under the total and nine of the team’s past 12 meetings in Canada have fallen short of the number.

Pick: Under

Columbus Blue Jackets at Colorado Avalanche (-145, 5.5)

Don’t look now, but the Blue Jackets are spunky. Columbus is tied for the second-most wins in the league with six through nine games and is a sparkling 3-0 on the road this season.

The Blue Jackets have gotten off to their fast start thanks to an ability to win close games, especially those on the road. The team has been blown out by the Blackhawks and Flames at home by a combined score of 11-4, but has kept things more simple on enemy ice, winning three road games by the slimmest of margins, including one in overtime.

"The guys are really bearing down and sticking to what their individual jobs are," Columbus goalie Steve Mason told the Associated Press. "It's paying off when you have guys competing hard the whole game. It really puts some pressure on the other team and they make mistakes. And we just have to capitalize on them."

Meantime the Avalanche will be starting Peter Budaj in net after losing stud Craig Anderson to a torn knee ligament. Budaj has been less then stellar so far, getting smacked for 13 goals on just 78 shots in three games. For those doing the math at home, that’s a .833 save percentage.

Pick: Blue Jackets

Daily Sports Roundup: October 30

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Oregon tries to stay undefeated against Southern Cal, TCU looks to thump UNLV, and the World Series heads down to Texas for Game 3.

Colliding on the gridiron . . .

No. 1 Oregon hits the road to take on No. 24 Southern Cal on Saturday in one of three ranked matchups on the college football schedule. The Ducks (7-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) pounded UCLA 60-13 at home last time out, as Darron Thomas threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns. LaMichael James ran for 123 yards and a pair of scores for Oregon in that win. The Trojans (5-2 SU, 3-4 ATS) are coming off an easy 48-14 home win over California, as Matt Barkley threw for 352 yards and five touchdowns. Oddsmakers have Oregon listed as the 7-point favorite for Saturday's contest, with the total pegged at 71.

The other two ranked matchups on Saturday are No. 5 Michigan State at No. 18 Iowa (-6.5), and No. 7 Missouri at No. 14 Nebraska (-7.5). Rounding out the day's Top-25 action: No. 22 Miami (-15) at Virginia, No. 20 Oklahoma State (-5) at Kansas State, Tennessee at No. 17 South Carolina (-18), No. 15 Arizona (-9) at UCLA, No. 3 Auburn (-7) at Mississippi, No. 25 Baylor at Texas (-7.5), No. 13 Stanford (-7) at Washington, Kentucky at No. 23 Mississippi State (-6), Vanderbilt at No. 19 Arkansas (-20.5), No. 8 Utah (-7) at Air Force, No. 10 Ohio State (-25.5) at Minnesota, Colorado at No. 11 Oklahoma (-23.5), and No. 4 TCU (-35) at UNLV in one of the day's expected blowouts.

As well, there's one game on the Canadian Football League schedule for Saturday, with Winnipeg at Edmonton. The Blue Bombers (4-12 SU, 9-7 ATS) are listed as 7.5-point road underdogs against the Eskimos (6-10 SU, 7-9 ATS), with the night's total set at 52.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The World Series shifts to Texas for Game 3 on Saturday night, with the Rangers' Colby Lewis (2-0, 1.45 ERA in the playoffs) taking to the mound against the Giants' Jonathan Sanchez (0-1, 2.93 ERA in the playoffs). Righthander Lewis beat the Yankees twice during the ALCS, holding them to a combined three runs on nine hits over his 13 2-3 innings of work. Lewis fanned 13 in those two starts. Lefthander Sanchez went 0-1 with a no-decision against the Phillies over his two NLCS outings, surrendering five runs (four earned) on eight hits in just eight innings. Sanchez struck out eight in those games.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The NBA offers up nine games on Saturday, with Washington at Atlanta, Sacramento at Cleveland, Detroit at Chicago, Philadelphia at Indiana, Minnesota at Memphis, Denver at Houston, Charlotte at Milwaukee, New Orleans at San Antonio, and Portland at New York. The Trail Blazers sit at 2-0 both SU and ATS after knocking off the Suns 106-92 on Tuesday and the Clippers 98-88 on Wednesday. Brandon Roy led the way with 22 points and 10 rebounds for Portland in their win over Los Angeles, while LaMarcus Aldridge was good for 19 points and 10 rebounds. Andre Miller picked up seven assists.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

Finally, there are 14 games on the NHL's schedule for Saturday, with the Islanders at Philadelphia, Nashville at Detroit, Pittsburgh at Carolina, Florida at Montreal, Boston at Ottawa, Atlanta at St. Louis, Chicago at Minnesota, Buffalo at Dallas, Columbus at Colorado, Tampa Bay at Phoenix, Washington at Calgary, Anaheim at San Jose, New Jersey at Los Angeles, and the Rangers at Toronto. The Maple Leafs will be playing the Rangers for the third time this month, beating them 4-3 in New York on October 15 and falling 2-1 at home on October 21. Ruslan Fedotenko and Artem Anisimov had the goals for the winning Rangers in that last matchup, while Colby Armstrong replied for Toronto.

-- Home side is 8-3 vs spread in No Illinois-W Michigan series.

-- Tulane is 6-13-1 vs spread in last 20 games as a home underdog.

-- Road team is 7-2 vs spread in Louisville-Pitt series.

*****************************************

Saturday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for in November

13) Vince McMahon’s wife is running for US Senator from Connecticut; seriously, she is, and she’s running against a guy who lied about serving in the Vietnam War, so she might actually win. Could you imagine the strutting/gloating Vince will do on air if she wins?

12) Thanksgiving weekend is now the best sports weekend of the year; its become the new Rivalry Saturday in college football, and you have NFL, college hoop, NHL/NBA, just a ton of stuff to follow.

11) Miami Heat are really an expansion team with two great players and one very good one, so its going to take them a while to gel, but it’ll be interesting to follow their progress.

10) If Amare Stoudemire stays healthy, the Knicks will be in playoffs; if they can trade for Carmelo Anthony, they’ll be contenders in Eastern Conference. Biggest question for them is whether Raymond Felton can hold down point guard until they get a better free agent (Chris Paul?) next summer.

9) Which college basketball will come out of nowhere and pull a shocking early season upset, like when Gardner-Webb beat Kentucky a few years ago?

8) Steve Lavin has an experienced team at St John’s, and he’s already making a killing on the recruiting trail. If Lavin gets the Red Storm into the NCAAs next March, its going to be harder to get the best recruits out of NYC.

7) The soap opera in Minnesota isn’t going away soon; its not looking good for the Favre Gang, but its not like anyone else is running away in the NFC North.

6) Speaking of which, will Jay Cutler still be in one piece when this season ends? He’s been getting killed by blitzing defenders; pretty soon, Cutler is going to be so shell-shocked he’s going to look like Linda Blair in The Exorcist, with his head swiveling 360 degrees.

5) I get two Thursdays off in November—yes!!!!

4) Will any baseball free agents sign early? Who will the Mets sign as a manager? Or will all the baseball offseason stuff wait until after the holidays?

3) This could be the first Thanksgiving in many years where the Lions have a better record than the Cowboys.

2) As I type this, it wouldn’t be very surprising to see a Jet-Giant Super Bowl at the Jerrydome in February; interesting to see if things stay that way.

1) TCU-Utah-Boise State; can one of these three teams play for the national title? If so, the other two will probably get stuck playing each other, since none of the “big boys” want to lose a non-BCS team. TCU-Utah on November 6th is a very big game
