NFL Preview: Atlanta at Cincinnati Team Page: Atlanta :: Cincinnati 58% of The Public on Atlanta +4.5 :: Matchup :: Odds :: Picks Michael Vick wants to become more of a pocket-passing quarterback, and showed last week how good he can be in that role. He might want to return to his scrambling ways this week. Vick and the Atlanta Falcons’ league-leading rushing attack hope to take advantage of a suspect Cincinnati Bengals run defense in Sunday’s matchup at Paul Brown Stadium.

Buffalo Sabres Fall Short of NHL Record Team Page: Buffalo :: Atlanta Goalie Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres were finally reminded how disappointing losing can feel. Then again, it’s been a while. Vyacheslav Kozlov scored the lone shootout goal and the upstart Atlanta Thrashers put an end to the Sabres’ bid for an NHL record start with a 5-4 victory Saturday night. The loss ended Buffalo’s season-opening winning streak at 10, the Sabres having to settle for sharing the league record for best start to a season set by Toronto in 1993. “I haven’t felt like this in a…

Heavy Betting on Texas at Texas Tech Team Page: Texas :: Texas Tech 77% of The Public on Texas -10 :: Matchup :: Odds :: Picks Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was raised on Texas Tech football, but never got to see the Longhorns take on the Red Raiders in person. The freshman’s first experience with the rivalry will give him a chance to do more than just watch. Fifth-ranked Texas (7-1, 4-0) looks to remain in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 South Division when it visits Lubbock to take on Texas Tech (5-3, 2-2) on Saturday…

Big Ten Battle; Minnesota at #1Ohio State Team Pages: Minnesota :: Ohio State 77% of The Public on Ohio State -27 :: Matchup :: Odds :: Picks Ohio State is headed for a Big Ten showdown that could put it in the national championship game. The top-ranked Buckeyes, though, know they have plenty of work to do before that happens. The Buckeyes (8-0, 4-0) look to extend the longest winning streak in the country when they host struggling Minnesota (3-5, 0-4) on Saturday. Ohio State has won its last 15 games, including Saturday’s 44-3 rout of Indiana.

Ranked Team Battle; #19 Oklahoma at #23 Missouri Team Page: Oklahoma :: Missouri 55% of The Public on Missouri -1.5 :: Matchup :: Odds :: Picks Without its best offensive player, Oklahoma hopes its defense can step up. Missing arguably its top defensive player, Missouri needs its offense to keep coming up big. The 19th-ranked Sooners hope their rejuvenated defense continues making up for the absence of Adrian Peterson in a Big 12 matchup Saturday with the high-powered offense of the No. 23 Tigers, who won’t have sack specialist Brian Smith.

St Louis Cardinals Win The 2006 World Series Favored by few, the St. Louis Cardinals used an unlikely cast of characters to win their first World Series in nearly a quarter century. Jeff Weaver dominated, David Eckstein drove in two runs on balls that didn’t leave the infield and the Cards took advantage of another wild throw by a Tigers pitcher to beat Detroit 4-2 on Friday night and won the Series in five games. Manager Tony La Russa’s Cardinals had just 83 regular-season wins, the fewest by a World Series winner, and nearly missed the playoffs after a late-season…

Late Night Hockey; Washington at Vancouver Team Page: Washington :: Vancouver For The Game Matchup :: Goalie Report :: Betting Trends :: NHL Scoreboard Alex Ovechkin was 15 years old and had yet to play professional hockey when the Washington Capitals last beat the Vancouver Canucks. Now, the star forward is the centerpiece of a Capitals team that will try to defeat the Canucks for the first time in over 5 1/2 years when they meet at GM Place on Friday. Vancouver (6-4-1) has won three straight and six of its last eight meetings with Washington (3-2-3), but this will…

World Series Game 5 Preview; Must Win for The Tigers Team Page: Detroit :: St Louis For The Game 62% of The Public on St Louis +118 :: Matchup :: Umpires :: Picks The last two times the St. Louis Cardinals held a 3-1 lead in the World Series, they returned home without a title. To try and make sure that doesn’t happen again, manager Tony La Russa chose experience over youth on the mound. Jeff Weaver will try to clinch the Cardinals’ first title since 1982 on Friday when they face rookie Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers in…

Cards Down Tigers 5-4; Extend World Series Lead Team Page: Detroit Tigers :: St Louis Cardinals Craig Monroe had an explanation. Reliever Fernando Rodney had no excuse for his blunder. Rodney’s error in the pivotal seventh inning was the fourth by a Detroit pitcher in the World Series – breaking a record – and the St. Louis Cardinals went on to win 5-4 Thursday night to take a 3-1 lead. Rodney fielded a sacrifice bunt cleanly in front of the mound, pivoted and threw to first base. The sailing toss was so high it would’ve only been caught if a…
