Portland posted its 12th consecutive win with Friday's 109-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Second-year stud Brandon Roy led a balanced Portland attack with 22 points as the Blazers matched their best winning streak since ripping off 12 in a row during the 2001-02 season.
LaMarcus Aldridge added 21 points and eight rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who haven't lost since a 100-79 setback at San Antonio on December 2. The Blazers are trying for the best winning streak in team history since the 1990-91 squad recorded a 16-game run.
Portland is 5-0 on a six-game homestand and improved to 14-3 at the Rose Garden this season with the win over Minnesota.
Meanwhile, the Sixers enter Sunday's game having won three straight and eight of their last 11 games. They opened a season-long six-game road trip with a 92-80 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday at ARCO Arena.
Samuel Dalembert had 19 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots to lead the Sixers, who are 6-7 away from Philadelphia this season. Andre Miller had 18 points and Andre Iguodala scored 16 for the Sixers, while Kyle Korver added 10 points off the bench.
The 76ers will also visit Seattle, Utah, the Lakers and Denver on the current trek. In injury news for the Sixers, guards Willie Green (groin) and Lou Williams (toe) are questionable for Sunday.

Giricek, a six-year veteran, was suspended for three games by the Jazz on December 20 after he engaged in a heated shouting match on the bench with Utah head coach Jerry Sloan during a game on December 19. The Croatian swingman lost his job as the backup shooting guard 13 games into the season and saw his playing time decrease.
The 30-year-old Giricek was averaging a career-low 4.3 points in 22 games for the Jazz this season. Korver averaged 10.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 25 games for Philly this season.
Philadelphia defeated Portland, 92-88, on November 16 this season at the Wachovia Center. It has won seven of the last 11 meetings.
The Sixers have won four of the last five at the Rose Garden.

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Philadelphia Flyers visit Florida Panthers

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Philadelphia Flyers Try to Stay Hot in Florida Against the Florida Panthers

(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Flyers will try for their first three-game winning streak in over two months this evening when they battle the Florida Panthers at BankAtlantic Center.
Since a season-high six-game losing streak, the Flyers have defeated Toronto and Tampa Bay to post back-to-back wins for the first time since November 10 and 12. Philadelphia hasn't won three in a row since a five-game winning streak from October 10-20.
The club was last in action on Saturday, when it defeated the Lightning 4-2. Joffrey Lupul scored on his first career penalty shot to give him 10 goals in his last nine games, and added two assists in the win. His 16 goals this season matches his total in 81 games with Edmonton last year.
Mike Knuble, Scott Hartnell and Kimmo Timonen also tallied for the Flyers, while Martin Biron stopped 31 shots. Philadelphia is just five points back of first-place New Jersey in a tight Atlantic Division.
The Flyers did lose Scottie Upshall to a sprained right ankle yesterday, and his status for this evening is unknown. Philadelphia is already without defenseman Randy Jones, who did not make the trip to Florida due to a knee injury.
Philadelphia improved to 10-9-0 on the road with the win and will also visit New Jersey, Toronto, Atlanta and the New York Rangers on their current six- game road trip.
The Panthers have lost just two of their last six games, but are coming off of a 5-1 setback to Montreal that saw Tomas Vokoun turn in a horrid game. The starting netminder saw his goals-against average lift to 2.66 after allowing four goals on nine shots faced.
Vokoun started in net for Florida and allowed goals on the first three shots by the Canadiens. He was pulled for the remainder of the first period, but returned in the second only to allow one more goal on six shots. Craig Anderson took over from there and ended with nine saves on 10 shots in the third and 12 saves in all, having also played the first period.
Olli Jokinen scored the lone goal for the Panthers, who lost despite outshooting Montreal 41-21. Jokinen's goal extended his points streak to seven games. He has four goals and four assists in that span.
Florida, which is tied for second in the Southeast Division, wraps a stretch tonight that has seen them play four of their last five at home. However, the club has lost six of its last eight as the host (2-4-2) and is 9-8-2 in Sunrise overall.
A win tonight would give Panthers head coach Jacques Martin 398, passing Glen Sather for 10th on the NHL's all-time list.
The Panthers begin the new year in New Jersey on Wednesday to begin a three- game road trip.
Florida has won five in a row against Philadelphia, including a 4-3 home win this season on October 24. The Flyers had won the previous in the series before this skid. Philly has also lost three straight at Florida.

Mark Streit added a goal and an assist for Montreal, while Guillaume Latendresse, Michael Ryder and Tom Kostopoulos also scored for the Canadiens, who have scored five goals in each of their last three wins.
Saku Koivu had an assist to give him a team-high 23 assists on the season.
Following tonight's game, the Canadiens open the 2008 calendar with a three- game homestand.
New York was in action on Saturday and exploded for a season-high six goals, five on the power play, in a 6-1 rout of Toronto.
Jaromir Jagr registered a goal and three assists.
Scott Gomez had an assist to stretch his point streak to a career-high 11 games, the longest active streak in the NHL. After a slow start to the season, Gomez has four goals and 11 assists on his current run and a team-high 34 points (9 goals, 25 assists) on the season.
Jagr, meanwhile, has at least a point in six straight games, totaling three goals and eight assists over his burst.
Martin Straka added a goal and a helper for the Rangers, who have won two in a row and are three points back of first-place New Jersey in a tight Atlantic Division. Petr Prucha scored twice, while Blair Betts and Brendan Shanahan tallied once each.Stephen Valiquette made 27 stops to post his second win of the season.
New York is 12-8-0 at home this year and follow this home tilt with three straight on the road.

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Chicago Blackhawks Hosts Los Angeles Kings

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Chicago Blackhawks Hosts Los Angeles Kings Aiming for Longest Winning Streak in Six Years.

(Sports Network) - The Chicago Blackhawks will try for their first five-game winning streak in about six years, as they host the Los Angeles Kings tonight at the United Center in the opener of a home-and-home set.
The Blackhawks posted their season-high fourth consecutive win on Wednesday, a 5-2 home victory against Nashville. Robert Lang scored twice, while Patrick Sharp lit the lamp for a fourth straight game.
Sharp, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane each contributed a goal and assist for the Blackhawks, who have won four straight for the first time since March 30- April 5 of last season. Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 30-of-32 shots to notch the win.
The club hasn't won five in a row since a six-game winning streak from December 26, 2001 through January 6, 2002.What is remarkable is that Chicago is on its winning run despite a rash of injuries. Prior to the game against Nashville, the Blackhawks placed Martin Havlat (groin), Dave Bolland (broken finger) and Ben Eager (mild concussion) on injured reserve.
Then in the game, James Wisniewski injured his knee -- the same knee that he had surgery on last year -- while fighting and could be out up to a month. Also, Brent Sopel left the game with a broken finger after blocking a shot and is out 1-2 weeks.
Tonight's game wraps a three-game homestand for Chicago, and it is 12-9-0 as the host this season. The club next hits the road for three straight, starting New Year's Day in LA.
The Kings enter this contest having just halted a season-worst eight-game losing streak on Saturday with a 3-1 win in Colorado. Derek Armstrong and Scott Thornton scored 1:17 apart in the third period to lift the Kings.
Anze Kopitar added an empty net goal for the Kings, who were on their longest losing streak since dropping the final 11 contests of the 2003-04 campaign. Jean-Sebastien Aubin turned away 29-of-30 shots in the win, just the third the Kings have posted in all of December (3-11-1).
The Kings were without Michael Cammalleri for the second straight game due to a rib injury. He has 15 goals and 14 assists on the season.
The Kings improved to 5-12-1 on the road this season and play the second of back-to-back road games tonight. The club begins a six-game homestand on New Year's Day against Chicago.
Chicago recorded a 6-3 home win over LA on December 12 and has won four of the last five meetings in the series.

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Vancouver Canucks versus Anaheim Ducks

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Vancouver Canucks Shoot to Continue Home Success, Battle Anaheim Ducks.

(Sports Network) - The Vancouver Canucks will try to continue their home success tonight, when they host the Anaheim Ducks at GM Place.
The Canucks have been just about unbeatable at home as of late. The club has posted a victory in three straight games as the host and in eight of the last nine. Vancouver hasn't lost in regulation at home since November 1 against Nashville, going 9-0-2 since then.Overall, Vancouver is 10-6-2 as the host.
Likewise, the Canucks set of twin playmakers have been unstoppable this season. Daniel and Henrik Sedin each notched a goal and an assist on Thursday to help lift Vancouver to a 5-3 victory over Calgary.
Henrik leads the club with 30 assists and 37 points, while twin brother Daniel has a team-high 16 goals.Mason Raymond and Taylor Pyatt also picked up a goal and a helper for the Canucks, winners in four of their last five games overall.
Sami Salo tallied a goal and Roberto Luongo stopped 29 shots.
Vancouver was without defensmen Mattias Ohlund for a second straight game due to neck spasms. He is doubtful tonight, while Ryan Kesler is questionable due to a head injury suffered on Sunday against Colorado. He also did not play on Thursday.
Anaheim lost for just the second time since the return of Scott Niedermayer yesterday. Since he stepped back onto the ice after deciding not to retire, the Ducks have gone 4-1-1 with the reigning Conn Smythe trophy winner in the lineup.
However, that lone regulation loss came on Saturday, as the Ducks were defeated by the Calgary Flames, 5-3.Todd Bertuzzi, Niedermayer and George Parros each scored a goal for the Ducks, who had a four-game winning streak snapped. Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 30 saves in the loss.
The setback also dropped Anaheim to 2-1-0 on its current four-game road trip that concludes tonight. The club is 9-10-1 overall as the visiting team.
Vancouver has won both of its meetings with the Ducks this year -- one at home and one on the road -- but Anaheim has won six of the last nine in the series. The Canucks home win on November 27 halted a six-game series home losing streak.

College Football Review, The Sports Network, Penn State Tops Texas A&M in JoePa's 500th Football Game

College Football Review, The Sports Network, Penn State Tops Texas A&M in JoePa's 500th Football Game

San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Rodney Kinlaw rushed for 143 yards on 21 carries and Evan Royster added a 38-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter as Penn State erased an early deficit to top Texas A&M, 24-17, at the Alamo Bowl.
Anthony Morelli completed 15-of-31 passes for 143 yards, one TD and one interception for the Nittany Lions (9-4), who finished the season winning three of their last four games and gave legendary head coach Joe Paterno a win in his 500th game.
Paterno, who has been at the helm in Happy Valley since 1966, has compiled a 372-125-3 record overall. He also picked up his 23rd bowl win -- the most for any coach in FBS history.
Royster finished with 65 yards on nine carries and Daryll Clark added 50 yards and a score on six carries. Deon Butler caught four balls for 59 yards and a touchdown.
Stephen McGee threw for 164 yards and one pick on 19-of-31 completions for the Aggies (7-6), who dropped four of their last five.
Mike Goodson scored both touchdowns on the ground, ending the game with 65 yards on 14 carries and one key fumble.
Penn State took a 24-17 lead with 19 seconds left in the third quarter, as Royster broke through the line and ran untouched 38 yards to the end zone.
Early in the fourth, the Aggies began a drive in the shadow of their own goal line, then marched 93 yards in 16 plays. Unfortunately, they came away with no points after McGee lost four yards on a 4th-and-inches from Penn State's two-yard-line.
Although Texas A&M had a final drive to forge at least a tie, McGee's pass to Jorvorskie Lane on 3rd-and-20 from his own 33 fell incomplete. Penn State ran out the remaining 2:01 to preserve the victory.
Kevin Kelly missed a 47-yard field goal on Penn State's first possession, and the Aggies took over on their own 30-yard-line. Nine plays later, Goodson scored on an option pitch to the left side from the one.
On the ensuing kickoff A.J. Wallace fumbled the ball and it was recovered by the Aggies' Kenny Brown at the PSU 16. Goodson broke off a 16-yard run on the first play from scrimmage to score two TDs in 12 seconds and give Texas A&M a 14-0 lead.
The Nittany Lions got on the board less than a minute into the second, when Butler made a leaping catch for a 30-yard touchdown. After a lengthy review process, it was determined the ball did not pop out of his hands as he cradled it while falling to the turf.
The defense came up big on the next Aggies' possession, forcing a Goodson fumble which the Nits recovered at the 11. Clark rolled into the end zone on the following play to tie the game.
Kelly redeemed himself by hitting a 25-yard field goal with 19 seconds left before the half to put Penn State up 17-14.
Matt Szymanski equalized for the Aggies, making a 38-yarder with 3:57 to play in the third quarter for a 17-17 tie.
Game Notes: Penn State has won three of the four meetings, including a 24-0 victory over the Aggies in the 1999 Alamo Bowl....The Nittany Lions have won their last three bowl appearances.

NFL Football Review, The Sports Network, Sweet 16: Brady, Moss, New England Patriots Make History

NFL Football Review, The Sports Network, Sweet 16: Brady, Moss, New England Patriots Make History

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - The champagne stayed on ice all season long for the 1972 Miami Dolphins, as the New England Patriots rallied from 12 points down in the second half to beat the New York Giants, 38-35, becoming the first NFL team to finish a regular season 16-0.
Tom Brady completed 32-of-42 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns for the Patriots (16-0), who became the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish a regular season without a loss. Brady's second scoring pass was his 50th of the season, putting him past Peyton Manning's record of 49, set in 2004.
"I think what I'm most proud of is playing a playoff team on the road.... and finding a way to win," said Brady. "We rallied back and showed some toughness and some character, and that'll hopefully prepare us for what's going to happen next month."Randy Moss gained 100 yards on six grabs with two scores, and his second touchdown was his 23rd TD reception of the season, breaking Jerry Rice's record of 22. Rice set that in only 12 games, though, in the strike- shortened 1987 campaign. Laurence Maroney rushed for 46 yards on 19 carries and two scores.
The Patriots now have two weeks to rest and prepare for the playoffs, where they will seek to become the first team in NFL history to finish a season 19-0. The 1972 Dolphins went on to win Super Bowl VII, and finish the season 17-0."I think all the credit goes to the players. They stepped up and made a lot of outstanding plays at critical times in the game, especially in the second half and the fourth quarter. The Giants are a good football team. They're well coached and they certainly gave us all we could handle tonight," said Pats head coach Bill Belichick.
Eli Manning completed 22-of-32 passes for 251 yards, with four touchdowns but one crucial interception for the Giants (10-6), who will visit NFC South champion-Tampa Bay next weekend in the wild-card round of the playoffs. Plaxico Burress had two TD catches among his four grabs for 84 yards, and Kevin Boss, filling in for the injured Jeremy Shockey, had four grabs for 50 yards and a score."We played a very difficult opponent, we played well, we had nothing to be ashamed of," said Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. "We got another one next week."
Brandon Jacobs gained 67 yards on 15 carries on the ground, and had five catches for 44 yards and a score for the Giants.New York did potentially lose two starters in addition to the game, as center Shaun O'Hara and linebacker Kawika Mitchell both suffered knee sprains in the first half."I take my hat off to our team," said Coughlin. "I don't know any better way to be prepared for the playoffs, to go against a team that's 15-0.
It looked like the Giants were in line to break up the 16-0 march early in the second half. New York forced the Pats into a three-and-out on their first possession of the half, and then marched down for a score. Manning hit Burress falling out of the end zone, but the wideout was able to get down inbounds for the 19-yard scoring catch. The score put the Giants ahead 28-16 with 9:12 remaining.
Just like Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, though, the Giants could not hold onto a second-half lead against this Pats team.
The Pats marched 73 yards on eight plays in response and Maroney broke through from six yards out to cut the deficit to 28-23 with four minutes left in the third quarter.
For the go-ahead strike Brady went to none other than Moss. The two barely missed hooking up on a 65-yard bomb on 2-and-10 at the New England 35, as Moss couldn't come up with the catch. They dialed up the same play on third down, though, and this time Moss made the grab. The 65-yard TD catch put both Brady and Moss in the record books, but more importantly - after a two-point conversion run by Maroney - it put the Pats on top 31-28 with 11:06 remaining.
Then Manning made his one big mistake of the night, overthrowing Burress on the next drive, and Ellis Hobbs settled underneath the pass at the New England 48-yard-line for the interception. The Pats took their time on this drive, grinding off 5:17 before Maroney burst in for a five-yard scoring run, and New England took a commanding 10-point lead with 4:36 left.
The Giants mounted one last charge, and Burress made a great one-handed catch for a three-yard score with 1:04 left, but New York couldn't recover the ensuing onsides kickoff, and three Brady kneels were all that stood between New England and history.The Giants didn't wait long to attack, as Manning went deep over the middle to Burress on the second play from the scrimmage for a 52-yard connection that put New York at the New England 18. Five plays later Manning hit Jacobs over the middle, and the back rumbled in for an seven-yard touchdown, putting the Giants on top 7-0 with 10:59 remaining.
The Pats drove deep into New York territory on their first drive, but stalled at the 19, and settled for 37-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski, making it a 7-3 game.
A questionable illegal contact penalty on Corey Webster negated an Antonio Pierce sack and extended the next Pats drive. Brady and Moss capitalized, as the two hooked up on a four-yard score that gave New England the scoring record, and vaulted the QB and wideout into ties with Manning and Rice, respectively. More importantly, the score gave the Pats a 10-7 lead with 14:55 remaining in the second quarter."
Individual records to me are not as important as what I've experienced in the past seven years, and what I experienced tonight," said Brady.
Moss and Maroney drew a personal foul for dancing after the score, though, pushing the ensuing kickoff back 15 yards. Domenik Hixon took advantage, bursting up the middle for 74 yards, and putting the Giants back on top, 14-10.
The Pats moved the ball well against the Giants in the second quarter, but twice stalled with the end zone in sight. Gostkowski kicked field goals of 45 and 37 yards, and the latter put New England up 16-14 with 1:59 remaining.
New York marched right down the field in its two-minute drill, though. Manning connected with Boss for a 23-yard gain early in the drive and, on 2nd-and-goal from the three with 18 seconds left, found Boss in the middle of the end zone, giving the Giants a 21-16 lead at the break.
Game Notes Welker's 11 catches gave him 112 on the season, which broke a Pats franchise record (101, set by Troy Brown in 2001) and moved him in front of T.J. Houshmandzadeh (103) for the most receptions in NFL this season. Houshmandzadeh will have a chance to take back the lead on Sunday...Brady finished with 4,806 yards passing, which topped Drew Bledsoe's 4,555 yards in 1994 for a franchise record...Gostkowski's three field goals were a season- high.

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Randy Moss capped their magnificent 2007 campaign by breaking two records. The two hooked up for two scores in their game against the New York Giants Saturday night, passing Peyton Manning and Jerry Rice, respectively in the record books.Brady found Moss for a four-yard touchdown in the second quarter, which tied and set three different records. Brady tied Manning for most touchdown passes in a season, with 49, which Manning set in 2004. Moss's TD catch was his 22nd, tying Rice's record, which was set in only 12 games during the strike- shortened 1987 campaign.The score also put New England past the 1998 Minnesota Vikings record of 556 points in a season.The two hooked up again, this time for 65 yards, in the fourth quarter to give both Brady and Moss the new records, with 50 TD passes and 23 scoring grabs, respectively.More importantly, the Pats are vying to become the first team in NFL history to finish a regular season 16-0 by beating the Giants. Moss' second score put the Pats on top, 31-28, in the fourth quarter.

Soccer Betting Preview, Hodgson Takes over Fulham Job

Soccer Betting Preview, Hodgson Takes over Fulham Job

Fulham hired former Inter Milan and Blackburn manager Roy Hodgson as their new manager on Friday. Hodgson signed a long-term contract and will take over as manager on December 30th. His first game behind the bench will be the New Year’s Day match against Chelsea. Ray Lewington will run the club in Saturday’s game at Birmingham.
Soccer Betting at SBG Global.
"I am delighted to have been offered this opportunity with Fulham," said Hodgson. "After long talks with the Chairman and the board I am convinced that we can take the club to a new level. I am determined that we will overcome the current position, which I understand will be a challenge, but one that I will relish.” Hodgson will be with the team on Sunday and will watch Saturday’s game against Birmingham City. "I am very much looking forward to training with the team on Sunday, and will of course be at St Andrews tomorrow to watch the vital clash against Birmingham City."
Hodgson was successful with Switzerland, leading them to the finals of the 1994 World Cup and 1996 European Championships. He also took Finland to success in the Euro 2008 qualification tournament although they did not qualify. Hodgson also coached Udinese in the Italian league. He is probably best known for his work with Inter Milan and Blackburn. Fulham owner Mohamed Al Fayed said: "It is my vision to combine the best of the fantastic traditions of the English Premier League with the flair and innate professionalism of the continental game - which I hope will return Fulham to its tradition of playing attractive, passing football. I believe that Roy has immense experience in all areas of football and can drive this club forward for the long term.
The hiring of Hodgson came as a bit of a surprise as many expected former Fulham midfielder John Collins to get the job. "I'm very surprised - we thought John Collins was going to be the next manager but we were kept in the dark." Fulham defender Chris Baird said. Fulham has just 14 points this season, tied with Sunderland for the 2nd worst spot in the Premier League Standings, ahead of only Derby. Currently Fulham sits in a very dangerous position as they don’t want to finish in the bottom three spots in the Premier League and lose their spot. It will be up to Hodgson to make sure that does not happen. It is somewhat surprising that Hodgson is not taking over for Sunday’s game against Birmingham since it is a critical game for Fulham with Birmingham just four points ahead of them in the Premier League standings.

NFL Betting Preview, Tennessee Titans versus Indianapolis Colts

NFL Betting Preview, Tennessee Titans (9-6) at Indianapolis Colts (13-2)
Sunday, 8:20 pm Eastern – NBC

SBG Global Opening Line: Titans -4 Total 40
The last game of the NFL regular season has a lot of meaning to the Tennessee Titans. It also has a lot of meaning to the Cleveland Browns even though they are not playing in the game. If Tennessee defeats Indianapolis they will grab the last Wild Card playoff spot in the AFC. If they lose then the spot goes to Cleveland. "This is a playoff game for us, and that's how we have to play," said Tennessee running back LenDale White. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Colts at Home.
The Titans are in a good position because the game means nothing to the Colts who have already clinched the #2 spot in the AFC. Indianapolis head coach Tony Dungy has said his starters will play very little on Sunday night."We've got the same type of situation this week, where the game really doesn't mean much, and we got some rest for some of our regulars at the end of the game," Dungy said. "That's probably what we'll do this week only a little earlier. We do plan to play everybody, we're just not sure how long yet. You play for your team, you coach for your team and you can't worry about anyone else." The Colts are expected to play their backups for at least a half and probably more. Backup quarterback Jim Sorgi is expected to get a lot of playing time on Sunday. Manning may play long enough to throw for 55 yards which would put him over the 4,000 mark for the season.
SBG Global Current Line: Titans -6, Total 39.5
"What we've got to do is just stay focused and play our game," Tennessee quarterback Vince Young said, "I really feel like we match up with the guys pretty good. All we've got to do is just not think about what's ahead and just think about that game on Sunday." The Titans have to be careful not to go into Sunday’s game thinking they can easily beat a Colts team not playing their starters. "I think we make a big mistake by thinking we're going to go in there and beat up on some backups," said Tennessee defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch "Indy's the defending world champs. That says a lot about their depth. They've been banged up for a good part of the year, playing with some backup guys." The Titans have lost four straight at Indianapolis by a combined score of 133-47. The Titans will look to their solid running game and tough defense on Sunday. They have allowed only 16.5 points per game in the last four games. The Titans have the fifth-best rushing offense in the NFL and the sixth-best rushing defense.
Here are the NFL betting stats for Sunday’s game. The Titans are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. the AFC South. The Titans are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games. The Titans are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a favorite. The Titans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Titans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 vs. the AFC.
The Colts are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog. The Colts are 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Colts are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. The Colts are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games overall. The Colts are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games in December. The Colts are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 vs. the AFC South. The Colts are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 17.
The Over is 6-1-1 in the Titans last 8 games in December. The Over is 5-2 in the Titans last 7 vs. the AFC South. The Over is 11-5 in the Titans last 16 games as a favorite. The Under is 4-0 in the Colts last 4 games as an underdog. The Over is 5-1 in the Colts last 6 games in December. The Over is 4-1 in the Colts last 5 games overall. The Over is 5-2 in the Colts last 7 vs. the AFC South. The Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams and the Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Indianapolis.

NFL Betting Preview, Dallas Cowboys versus Washington Redskins

NFL Betting Preview, Dallas Cowboys (13-2) at Washington Redskins (8-7)
Sunday, 4:15 pm Eastern – FOX

SBG Global Opening Line: Redskins - 7.5, Total 39
The Washington Redskins can clinch the final Wild Card spot in the NFC with a victory at home on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. "After all we've been through we're still in position," Washington running back Clinton Portis said, "so we have to finish it out." SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Redskins at Home.
The Redskins are even with the Minnesota Vikings in the standings but their head to head win against Minnesota last week gives them the edge. If the Redskins lose then the Vikings could make it if they win at Denver. The Saints are also in the picture but they would have to win at Chicago and have Washington and Minnesota both lose. If all three teams lose then the Redskins still get in. "Everything that we've worked for, for 15 weeks, goes on the line this weekend," Washington coach Joe Gibbs said. The Redskins have overcome a lot to get to this point. They have had to deal with losing starting quarterback Jason Campbell and had to deal with the death of safety Sean Taylor. Backup quarterback Todd Collins has come in and done a great job of leading the team. Collins has completed 60.8 percent of his passes and thrown for four touchdowns in the last three games.
SBG Global Current Line: Redskins -9.5 , Total 39.5
The Redskins may get some help from the Cowboys who may rest some starters. Terrell Owens will not play due to a high ankle sprain but Dallas head coach Wade Phillips has said most of the other starters will play. The Cowboys have not lost on the road this season. "There’s a lot of considerations and we'll consider them all," Phillips said. "But we're still approaching the game to win the game." Quarterback Tony Romo is expected to play, especially to get on track with receiver Terry Glen who is expected back after missing the first 15 games this season. "It won't be a full game, but I'd like to get him playing, get him back in the rhythm of it, catch some passes," Phillips said. "If he wants to start, he can start." The Cowboys may be playing for some records in this game. Jason Witten needs six catches to get to 100 catches this season. Tony Gonzalez of the Chiefs is the only other tight end in history to have that many. Running back Marion Barber is 19 yards away from his first 1,000-yard season.
Here are the NFL betting stats for Sunday’s game. The Cowboys are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog. The Cowboys are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. the NFC. The Cowboys are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in Week 17. The Cowboys are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games in December. The Cowboys are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings in Washington. The underdog is 17-4 ATS in the last 21 meetings between the two teams.
The Redskins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. the NFC. The Redskins are 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. The Redskins are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.
The Over is 4-1 in the Cowboys last 5 vs. the NFC East. The Over is 4-1 in the Cowboys last 5 games as an underdog. The Over is 22-8-3 in the Cowboys last 33 road games. The Under is 5-2 in the Cowboys last 7 games in Week 17. The Over is 5-2 in the Cowboys last 7 vs. the NFC. The Over is 12-5-1 in the Cowboys last 18 games as a road underdog. The Over is 7-3-1 in the Cowboys last 11 games in December.
The Over is 4-1 in the Redskins last 5 games as a favorite. The Over is 5-2 in the Redskins last 7 vs. the NFC. The Over is 7-3 in the Redskins last 10 games overall.

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Edmonton Oilers Versus Minnesota Wild

NHL Hockey Preview, The Sports Network, Welcome back: Moreau Set to Return as Edmonton Oilers tangle with Minnesota Wild

(Sports Network) - The Edmonton Oilers should get a nice little boost tonight, when captain Ethan Moreau returns to the lineup to help his club battle the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center.
Moreau has missed the team's last 113 games, as a shoulder injury sidelined him for all but seven games last year. He then suffered an ankle/foot injury prior to this season and has yet to skate in a contest.However, he said on Thursday he planned to play in tonight's game.It will also mark Moreau's first time on the ice as a captain.
