Dear MadJacksports.com members,
This ?Weekender? is so packed with action that I don?t even have space to tell you about the MLB PLAYOFFS!!! It just doesn?t get any better than this if you?re a football fan.
Trivia
Which NCAA quarterback threw for 11 TD passes in a single game?
A) Andre Ware
B) Ty Detmer
C) David Klingler
D) David Carr
* Answer at bottom.
NCAA
TEXAS (#2) vs. OKLAHOMA (#5)
Line: Oklahoma -7; Total 54
ABC@12:00PM
Texas lost the recruiting battle for homegrown RB Adrian Patterson to the Sooners, and wow is he good. As a true freshman he has notched 546 YDs, 6 TDs, and is averaging 6.3 yards per carry in only 5 games.
MINNESOTA (#13) vs MICHIGAN (#4)
Line: Michigan -3.5; Total 53
ESPN@12:00PM
The Golden Gophers blew a 28 point lead in the 4th quarter to Michigan last season, and will be out to prove they belong in the top of the Big-10. Running back duo Laurence Maroney, and Marion Barber III are as good as any in the country.
LSU (#24) vs. FLORIDA (#12)
Line: Florida -3.5; Tota 48
CBS@7:45PM
LSU already has 1 more loss than they has all of last year, and got mauled by Georgia last week 45-16. This week they head into in the ?Swamp?. The Gators, and QB Chris Leak look very strong this year, and are a perfect 4-0 against the spread so far.
CALIFORNIA (#7) vs. USC (#1)
Line: USC -7.5; Total 58.5
ABC@3:30PM
Cal is talented, rested, and underrated. Still, USC has more horses, and should be in full pay-back mode after last years double OT loss to Cal cost them sole passion of the National Championship.

NFL
BROWNS (2-2) vs STEELERS (3-1)
Line: Steelers -6; Total 37.5
NBC@1:00PM
The Browns while not great, are always game and will be up for this, one of the greatest rivalries in sports history. Surprisingly, the Steelers lead their division while starting a rookie (?Big Ben? Roethlisberger) at QB!
GIANTS (3-1) vs. COWBOYS (2-1)
Line: Cowboys -3.5; Total 37.5
FOX@1:00PM
Coach Tom Coughlin has really whipped his G-Men into shape, but can they maintain that intensity coming off a big win at Green Bay, against a Cowboy squad that is well rested coming off a bye week?
MNF:
TITANS (1-3) vs. PACKERS (1-3)
Line: Packers -3.5; Total 44
ABC@9:05PM
It?s hard to imagine Steve McNair, or Brett Favre starting this season 1-4, but that is exactly what is going to happen Monday night! Both QB?s are hurting, and extremely dangerous with their backs to the wall.
