The Browns are on their bye week and likely will be under able to cover the spread (sad joke there).
Ohio State travels to Happy Valley for their toughest road game of the season against a
raging crowd against Penn State.Terrelle Pryor spurned the Nittany Lions for OSU and the fans there haven't forgotten.
The Lions and their fans will be ready.
Ohio State will have get more offense than they have getting,but watching the Penn State win over Northwestern they sure looked vulnerable.
I have liked Penn State in this game all week,but now I have a funny feeling that Terrelle Pryor is going to step up for the first time in a big game and show his potential
The Seahawks appear to be in mid-fade of a disappointing season that tells me that a re
build is around the corner.However they are traveling to Detroit where the Rams won their first game all season last week.Seattle should be able to throw the ball well against the Lions and I don't see the Lions don't much against the Hawk defense.
If Seattle loses here,there is a huge problem in Washington....
This weeks games of the week follow up on two wins in the first week.
The College game features number nine LSU visiting the third ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.
From what I hear,LSU is the only team besides Florida that controls their own destiny for the National title game.
If LSU wins out.they are in.
Not bad for a team that has already lost a game.
Alabama will feed Mark Ingram the ball often and whether the Bayou Benglas can stop could be the difference.
Nick Saban's team hasn't been challenged yet this season,LSU will do just that and it should be a good one.
The Pro game has some interesting games,but we will go for the second week in a row with the Monday game as Pittsburgh visits Denver.
Denver could have been exposed last week in Baltimore and the Steelers go into this one off their bye week.
Matchup to watch is Dick LeBeau's Steeler defense against Kyle Orton....
Our picks
Ohio State 17-14
Seahawks 28-20
Alabama 20-14
Steelers 31-21
To the world of the fisticuffs as the two best light heavyweights in the world battle with no belt on the line.
Chad Dawson and Glen Johnson fight a rematch of their bout last year that went to Dawson by decision,but many observers (me included) thought Johnson won.
It goes to show the silliness of the sanctioning bodies that Dawson has won and dropped two of the three world titles in the last year without losing a fight.
Give credit to HBO for putting the pressure on Dawson to fight a rematch that fans wanted to see,but Dawson really didnt want to make.
The first fight was a good one,this one could be better.
Johnson will try to get inside and pound the lanky Dawson to the body,while Dawson wants distance and needs to box more.
This is Saturday night on HBO.
The WBA Heavyweight belt is on the line as seven foot Nikolai Valuev de
fends against the former undisputed Cruiserweight king David Haye.Haye has done a lot talking towards Valuev and the Klitschko brothers (holders of the other two belts) but has only fought once as a heavyweight.
Valuev is not exactly skilled on the overall,but his size could wear down the far smaller Haye.
If you really care about heavyweights,root for Haye as a Haye victory could add a lot of spice to the division,but watch for a lot of mauling by Valuev on the inside.
The bout is on PPV live from Germany.
EDITORS NOTE
I had made selections for both fights,but in my rush to get these ready,forgot to post them.
In full disclosure,two days after the bouts,my picks were
Haye-unanimous decision
Johnson-split decision
