19th-Ranked Michigan Travels to 2nd-Ranked Penn State

Penn State Had Off-Week Before Facing Michigan

The fans at Beaver Stadium will the 19th -ranked Michigan Wolverines and the 2nd-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions when they take their seats on Saturday. Game time is set for 7:30 pm EST. It will be broadcast live by ABC.

The Nittany Lions were idle last week. That is before they begin a season-defining three-week stretch.  After Saturday's test, Penn State travels to No. 6 Ohio State and No. 18 Michigan State. It is make or break time in Happy Valley.

Oddsmakers have listed as 7.5-point favorites. The total is sitting at 43. Penn State opened as a 9.5-point favorite.

Penn State Looking for Payback After 2016 Annihilation

Last time out for Penn State, they were a 31-7 winner as they battled the Northwestern Wildcats on the road. Penn State covered in the match as a -14.5-point favorite, while 38 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

The Nittany Lions are focused on a Wolverines team that blasted them 49-10 last year in Ann Arbor. PSU won nine straight games after en route to the Big Ten championship. They are 15-1 since. Its only loss was a 52-49 Rose Bowl thriller against USC.

Lions running back Saquon Barkley is the FBS leader in all-purpose yards per game at 217. He has emerged as a leading Heisman Trophy candidate. Quarterback Trace McSorley has also played well.

Penn State is atop the FBS in scoring defense at 9.0 points per game.

Michigan Hopes Stellar Defense Can Hold PSU

Michigan was a 27-20 winner on the road against the Indiana Hoosiers. They earned a push of the -7-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (47) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Michigan leads the FBS in total defense at 223.8 yards per game. The Wolverines are also in the top 10 in scoring defense, rush defense, pass defense and pass-efficiency defense.

Junior Karan Higdon ran 25 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns against Indiana.  Those are all career highs. His 25-yard scoring run in the extra period proved to be the winner.

Quarterback John O'Korn was only 10 of 20 for 58 yards through the air.

The Wolverines are eighth or worse in the Big Ten in every major offensive category except rushing. They have scored only six touchdowns on 18 trips to the red zone.

Central Florida and Navy Clash in AAC Football Action

Central Florida and Navy Should be a Shootout

The 20th-ranked Central Florida Knights and the Navy Midshipmen meet on Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. These American Athletic Conference rivals will kick-off at 3:30 pm EST. CBS Sports Network will have all the action.

High-scoring and Eastern Division Leader, Central Florida and  West division foe Navy have offenses that are enough to create plenty of sleepless nights for opposing defensive coordinators. Navy and its option-oriented offense and Central Florida with its spread option attack are expected to put up a lot of points today.

Oddsmakers have Central Florida at 10-point favorites. The total is at 65.5. This line opened at UCF as 6-point favorites.

Navy Poses Special Challenges for Central Florida

The Midshipmen, under 10th-year coach Ken Niumatalolo, are averaging 6.2 yards per carry as a team. They lead the nation with an average of 397.5 rushing yards.

Navy is averaging 35.5 points per game. Navy was ranked 25th last week before falling 30-27 on Saturday at Memphis. Quarterback Zach Abey lost three fumbles and had two passes intercepted.

It was the most turnovers for Navy since making six against Boston College nearly 15 years ago.

Abey is a definitive threat on the ground. He has carried 183 times for 1,016 yards and 12 scores.

Central Florida Looks to Keep Offense Rolling

Central Florida is averaging a nation's best 50.6 points per game. They are coming off a 63-21 home shellacking of East Carolina on Saturday.

Quarterback McKenzie Milton completed 21 of 27 passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns. Greg McCrae ran six times for 67 yards. Mike Hughes returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown against ECU. Milton's passing efficiency rating of 203.6 ranks second nationally behind Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield.

The UFC returns to Poland this Saturday for Fight Night 118 in Gdansk, featuring a Welterweight bout between Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Darren Till as the main event. You’ll need UFC Fight Pass to see this card; at press time, the popular Cerrone is a –160 favorite, down from –175 at the open.

Bet on MMA at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

Cerrone (32-9, 1NC lifetime; 19-6 UFC) is trying to get his career back on track after losing both his matches in 2017, to Jorge Masvidal (+130) and Robbie Lawler (–175). The crafty veteran will have to tread carefully with the undefeated Till (15-0-1 lifetime; 3-0-1 UFC), a rising star from Liverpool, England who’s a Muay Thai master and a former K-1 European Champion.

The co-main event for Fight Night 118 is a Women’s Strawweight matchup between Poland’s Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-2 lifetime, 3-2 UFC) and Jodie Esquibel (6-2 lifetime), who’s making her official UFC debut after competing for Invicta FC. Esquibel moved up from the Atomweight division last year, then appeared on The Ultimate Fighter, dropping a split decision to Ashley Yoder in the first qualifying round. Kowalkiewicz is also trying to snap a two-match losing streak; she opened at –450 and remains there at press time.

Lakers on Road to Battle Phoenix Suns

Suns and Lakers Top Draft Picks Square Off Tonight

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns meet at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Friday night. Both teams are coming off opening night losses. Tip-off is set for 10 pm EST.

Lonzo Ball and Josh Jackson will begin what could become a great rivalry Friday night. Both will be hoping to flush the bad games of their pro debuts.

Ball was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft. He is a point guard that was taken by arguably the best point guard in NBA history. The Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson traded point guard D'Angelo Russell to create space for Ball.

Jacksonis a small forward and was the fourth player taken. The Suns are so high on him that they did not even talk when the Cleveland Cavaliers asked about him as a possible piece in a potential Kyrie Irving trade last summer.

Oddsmakers opened the Lakers as 0-point favorites versus the Suns, while the game's total opened at 223.

Phoenix Suns Got Hammered Opening Night

Last time out for Phoenix, they were a 124-76 loser as they battled the Portland Trail Blazers at home. The Suns failed to cover in the match as a +2.5-point underdog, while 200 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

The Suns can only improve from the mess that was their home opener on Wednesday. The Portland Trail Blazers gave the Suns the worst loss in franchise history. It was the worst opening-day loss in NBA history.

The Suns shot 31.5 percent from the field and were outrebounded 57-33.

Jackson had 11 points, two rebounds and an assist while starting on a front line.  He started alongside and TJ Warren. Jackson made 1 of 2 3-point attempts in 32 minutes.

Guard Eric Bledsoe shot 8 of 35 from the field in preseason, made 5 of 18 field-goal attempts in the opener. He led the team with 15 points against Portland. Booker had 12 points on 6-of-17 shooting.

Lakers Look to Keep Ball from Getting Man-Handled

Los Angeles was a 108-92 loser in its last match at home against the Los Angeles Clippers. They failed to cover the +6.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 200 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Ball had three points on his lone basket, a 3-pointer. He added nine rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes on Thursday. He was held out of the last four preseasons games because of an ankle injury.

The Lakers traded Russell, who was the second overall pick in the 2015 draft in the off-season.  They added veterans Brook Lopez and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The Lakers also maintained enough cap room for the coming off-season. Magic Johnson wants to be able to afford potential free agents such as LeBron James or Paul George.

Lopez scored 20 points against the Clippers. Power forward Larry Nance Jr. had 14.  Caldwell-Pope will miss his second straight game Friday. He is sitting out a two-game suspension for being arrested and pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated.

Pelicans Host Warriors Friday Night on ESPN

Pelicans and Warriors Looking for 1st Win

The Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans will both be looking for their first wins on Friday when they meet at Smoothie King Center.

The Warriors limp into tonights matchup, and the Pelicans are happy to see what their twin towers down low can accomplish.

Oddsmakers opened the Warriors as -6.5-point favorites versus the Pelicans, while the game's total opened at 224. The line has moved to Golden State -8.5. The total has dropped to 221.

Pelicans Anxious to See Results of Davis and Cousins

New Orleans was a 103-91 loser in its last match on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies. They failed to cover the +2-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 194 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

The Pelicans showed in the loss at Memphis on Wednesday that Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins can post good numbers. But can they get any help is the big question.

Davis had 33 points and 18 rebounds. Cousins added 28 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high seven blocks. The real problem is that guard E'Twaun Moore, with 11 points, was the only other player in double figures.

Point guard Jrue Holiday scored four points on 2-of-11 shooting. He had only four assists and three turnovers. Holiday moved to the point while Rajon Rondo is recovering from sports hernia surgery.

Warriors are Battling Injury Bug Early On

Golden State was a 122-121 loser at home against the Houston Rockets. They failed to cover the -9.5-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (243) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Forward Draymond Green twisted his left knee in the third quarter against the Rockets. He underwent an MRI on Wednesday. The Warriors listed him Thursday as doubtful to play against the Pelicans on Friday night.

The examination revealed "no new structural damage" to the knee. Green traveled with the team on the three-game road trip. The trip includes the Warriors' first back-to-back Saturday night against Memphis and a Monday night game against Dallas.

The Warriors are more short-handed than normal off the bench. Andre Iguodala practiced Wednesday after missing the opener with a strained back. He is listed as "day-to-day."

Shooting guard Omri Casspi sprained his left ankle in the season opener after coming in with a sore right ankle.
