Tonight South Florida rolls into New Jersey to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. I’m sold on the notion South Florida won’t be happy playing in cold, drizzly weather so I think Greg Schiano and team will cover the spread.

Buffalo played last Tuesday night against Bowling Green and the game went over just as we predicted. Tonight Buffalo takes on Ohio and we expect another really good game. We are going to side with the under in this matchup because Ohio’s D has been quite stout in recent weeks.

The college basketball season returns tonight with a whimper, but it is back nevertheless. The defending national champion UNC takes on Isiah Thomas and Florida International while Ohio State takes on Alcorn State to kickoff the 2009-10 season. Then later on in the evening Syracuse plays Albany and California takes on Murray State. Things unfortunately don’t really heat up in college basketball until the Maui Classic in late November when teams like Arizona, Maryland, Gonzaga, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Vanderbilt, Colorado and the home team Chaminade throw down. Like it or not it’s back so if you want to watch the Heels destroy Isiah’s new team which are 31 point dogs then by all means get jiggy with it.
Is anyone else annoyed by the runaway hairdo that lives underneath Peko’s helmet? I want so bad for someone to go bananas with some clippers on the furry beast that has set up camp on his head. I’m serious that I’m more than willing to pay any takers. Anyone game?
The 5-2 Steelers roll into Denver this evening to take on the 6-1 Broncos. The Steelers are coming off a bye while the Broncos are licking their wounds from a blowout loss to the Ravens. I think the Broncos were exposed last Sunday and I expect the Steelers to take them out. Good luck!
Steelers -2.5

This could be the first and last time we post anything about women’s college soccer, but this one is well worth it. Check out this video of Elizabeth Lambert a defender for the New Mexico Lobos women’s soccer team just flat out wrecking shop yesterday in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament.
Update: Lambert has been suspended indefinitely for her antics. Well deserved.

Fedor Emelianenko makes his American debut tomorrow night during the big Strikeforce MMA CBS event in Chicago. Many feel Emelianeko is the best mixed martial arts fighter in the world so this should be a big deal for CBS and Strikeforce, right? It very well may be, but the bigger deal in our mind is the host of the show tomorrow evening on CBS. Her name is Jenn Brown and she is SMOKING!!! If you aren’t familiar with Jenn then no need to worry. We have included a few pictures for you below to become more acquainted.

Word around the garages is it’s only a matter of time until Danica Patrick is announced as a new team member of JR Motorsports. JR Motorsports is the Nationwide Series operation owned by none other than Dale Earnhardt Jr. It has been reported Patrick will sign a two-year contract and will race in as many Nationwide Series events as possible since she is still racing full-time in the Indy Racing League. The partnership should make its track debut next February at historic Daytona Speedway. This is a very smart move by Little E and NASCAR to bring Danica Patrick into the fold. She will sell major merchandise and will bring more eyeballs to a sport that has been dwindling in viewership in the last few years.
There are three games on the college football slate this evening which means we have lots to gamble on. I only like two of the games this evening and here are my picks. Good luck!

Our latest poll is out and Boise State now joins the top 5. Oklahoma State and USC were the two big drops for the week and we continue to believe in TCU and Oregon. Thoughts?
