As a result, he is among the early contenders for the Heisman Trophy. He could help that cause with a huge game this evening. The last three seasons, Lewis and LeSean McCoy combined to rush for 4,615 yards. Ben Burns SportsDirect Inc.

This year’s biggest rule change repositions the umpire 15 yards behind the offence instead of behind the defensive line where they have stood for years. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3562 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3562 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:28:00 GMT After preheating through the first half of the season, Minnesota's Scott Baker has been red hot since the All-Star break. Baker has won his last five starts, the longest streak of his career, and hasn't suffered a loss since July 19. Aaron Schuldiner SportsDirect Inc.

SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3558 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3558 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:37:00 GMT September couldn’t come soon enough for San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum. The two-time NL Cy Young winner lost all six of his starts last month, sporting a 7.82 ERA. He has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last four starts. Tim Sullivan SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3556 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3556 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:16:00 GMT Say what you will about the drama, about the television time, about the hype machine, what have you, but it appears that receiver Terrell Owens can still play. Owens has 143 yards receiving in four games with the Bengals and a long of 43 yards. David Payne SportsDirect Inc. CFB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3554 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3554 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:04:00 GMT The Beavers have been a great bet since Mike Riley returned as head coach in 2003 – just not in September. Oregon State is 48-35 ATS in Riley’s last seven seasons, but remarkably only 6-18 ATS in September. Just think how good that makes the Beavers in October, November and December. Sean Murphy SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3553 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3553 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:48:00 GMT Few could have envisioned this type of turnaround from Tim Hudson in 2010. He appears poised to win more than 16 games for the first time since 2001, and he’s doing it in style. Since July 22nd, he has posted a spotless 6-0 record. Aaron Schuldiner SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3550 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3550 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:27:00 GMT Wainwright (17-8, 2.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) is one of the best starters in the game, and a serious candidate for the NL Cy Young award. You know you have a good thing going if Chris Carpenter is your No. 2 starter. The Cardinals are 20-8 in Carpenter’s starts in 2010. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc.

Take Cahill for instance. The guy looks like he’s about 13 years old but he’s the one making major league hitters look silly. Doc's Sports SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3547 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3547 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:48:00 GMT This is a rematch of Week 9 in Denver last season when the Steelers won 28-10. The rushing attacks were the difference in that game. Pittsburgh’s Rashard Mendenhall ran for 155 yards, while Denver netted just 27 yards, its fourth-lowest total since the merger.

BlueRaiders.com reports the former bookmaker, 80-year-old Oliver Donnell, claims the loan was for poker and that he never spoke to Dasher about sports betting.

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 in Game 1 Wednesday. Trent Hart SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3540 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3540 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 10:08:00 GMT The Texans closed last season on a four-game win streak and also closed the talent gap on their big brother, the Indianapolis Colts. Playmakers abound, starting with receiver Andre Johnson, defensive end Mario Williams and linebacker DeMeco Ryans. Charles-André Marchand SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3538 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3538 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 09:55:00 GMT The Stampeders swear that they fear the Lions despite their pathetic 1-6 record. They are right about that. After all, only three weeks ago, Calgary stole a close call victory by a mere 25-22 score from Wally Buono’s men. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3536 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3536 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:37:00 GMT It will be the first time Bradford has played with Steven Jackson in the backfield and behind a healthy offensive line. However, the Rams are going to be very careful with Jackson until Week 1. He had four carries for 20 yards in last week’s 19-17 win over the Cleveland Browns. Aaron Schuldiner SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3533 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3533 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:26:00 GMT Milwaukee’s success in close contests is due to its ability to make noise at the dish late in games. From the seventh inning on, the Brewers rank sixth in the majors in total bases (571), and seventh in the majors in hits (367) and runs scored (188). SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3534 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3534 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:24:00 GMT These two teams' legs are dragging after playing a 16-inning marathon on Tuesday, but not as badly as their arms. Tuesday's affair saw the two teams combine to use 15 pitchers, not including Phillies starting pitcher Roy Oswalt's insertion in the outfield. Both sides enter today's series finale woefully unarmed. Ben Burns SportsDirect Inc. CFB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3530 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3530 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:22:00 GMT The Golden Flashes’ offence will get a big boost with the return of running back Eugene Jarvis. The nation’s leading active FBS career rusher, Jarvis missed the majority of last year, after suffering a lacerated kidney. He’s a difference maker for KSU and reportedly has looked good in practice. Tim Sullivan SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3528 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3528 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:42:00 GMT Despite the dramatic holdout of Jets cornerback Darelle Revis, not to mention the rash of injuries in Broncos camp, Favre figures to be the main focus for the rest of the preseason around the league. But for boddsmakers, it’s a different story. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3526 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3526 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 10:23:00 GMT Chicago has scored a staggering 162 runs against southpaws this season, the eighth-most in the league. The Cubbies also are hitting a staggering .280 against lefties this year – the highest average in baseball and seven points higher than the next closest team. David Payne SportsDirect Inc. CFB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3524 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3524 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:33:00 GMT The Yellow Jackets have had a tendency to play down to their competition under Paul Johnson. They needed a blocked field goal to survive a scare from Gardner-Webb in a 10-7 win in 2008. That game was played the week before a trip to Clemson, arguably Tech’s biggest conference rival. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. FTB http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3522 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3522 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:07:00 GMT Matt Leinart didn’t do anything to make Arizona backers forget about Kurt Warner with his preseason Week 1 performance. Sure he completed six of his seven pass attempts, but the first-team offense failed to score and backup QB Derek Anderson was even worse when he took the field. SportsDirect Inc. staff SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3521 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3521 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:14:00 GMT You’d think with Tim Hudson numbers he’d be getting more consideration for the National League Cy Young award. Here’s a guy who’s the clear No. 1 starter on a first place team and he’s only a year and change removed from major surgery. Marc Lawrence SportsDirect Inc. BBL http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3518 http://www.prolinestadium.com/en/Article.mvc/View/3518 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 09:11:00 GMT After watching the Angels appear lifeless, Torii Hunter knew exactly what he had to do. He couldn’t stand what he was seeing from his team. The veteran initiated a players-only meeting before Thursday’s 7-2 win over Boston in which they snapped a three-game losing streak.
