The biggest game on the college football schedule is still left to be played, as the Virginia Tech Hokies will take on the Boise State Broncos tonight at 8:00PM ET.

The Broncos enter this game ranked third in the nation, but once again feel as though they have to prove themselves against a BCS team. The Hokies are ranked seven spots behind Boise, but yet find themselves as a 2-point favorite heading into tonight’s big showdown.

Looking at some trends for this game, the Broncos are 5-0 straight up in their last five games and 5-0 straight up in their last five road contests. The total has also gone over in six of Boise’s last eight games on the road and in four of Boise’s last six games period.

On the other side, VA Tech is 5-0 straight up in its last five games and 13-1 straight up in its last 14 games at home (make note that this game will not be played in Blacksburg, however – it’ll be played at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland).

With a win, Boise could cement itself as a BCS title contender and considering the Broncos return all but one starter, the Hokies will have their work cut out for them. Quarterback Kellen Moore completed 64.3% of his passes last season for 3,536 yards, 39 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Those numbers are staggering.

His favorite targets are receivers Austin Pettis and Titus Young, who compiled for 142 catches and 24 touchdowns last season. Running back Jeremy Avery helps take pressure off the passing game and will look to have another solid season after rushing for 1,151 yards and six touchdowns.

VA Tech, however, has a trip of talented running options in backs Ryan Williams and Darren Evans, and quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Speaking of Taylor, he’ll have all three of his top targets back in wide receivers Jarrett Boykin, Danny coale and Dyrell Roberts, who combined for 92 catches and 10 touchdowns.

Odds makers have made the Hokies a 2-point favorite entering tonight’s game.

Texas Tech will kick off the Tommy Tuberville era by hosting an explosive SMU team on Sunday.

Starting quarterback Taylor Potts returns for his senior year with the Red Raiders, while new offensive coordinator Neal Brown comes over from Troy. The Trojans’ offense threw for 4,375 yards and ran for 1,939 more last season, so Tech should have no problems lighting up the scoreboard.

On the other side, the Mustangs are coming off an 8-5 season in which they turned a lot of heads. Quarterback Kyle Pardon, who started the final six games last year as a true freshman and went 5-1, is one sophomore to keep an eye on this season in college football.

The Mustangs are 4-1 against the spread in their last five road games, while the Red Raiders are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games in September.

The USC Trojans are arguably the most mysterious team heading into the 2010 college football season.

Will they lay down each week because they don’t care about the result of their season? Or will Lane Kiffin have this team playing lights out to make a statement?

We’ll find out tonight when the Trojans head to Hawaii to take on a Warriors team that will be excited to play a 14th-ranked USC program at home. Hawaii should once again live and die by their pass happy offense and will aim to get into a bowl this year after finishing 6-7 last season.

Odds makers have installed USC as a 21-point road favorite despite the major cloud hanging over the program’s head this year. Read on to check out handicapper Vegas Vic’s free pick for tonight’s game!

Two teams fighting for the NL Wild Card will square off tonight in the first game of a three-game series as the San Francisco Giants travel to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals.

Both teams have slumped of late, as the Cardinals have lost four in a row and the Giants have dropped four of their last six. Both clubs are playing .500 ball in their last 10 games, but neither is hitting.

Tonight, the Giants will send rookie Madison Bumgarner to the hill against new Cardinal Jake Westbrook, who was recently acquired via a trade. Bumgarner has been solid in his first year, posting a 4-4 record with a 3.27 ERA, while Westbrook is 1-0 with St. Louis and has posted a 3.32 ERA.

With both teams struggling at the dish, it’s no surprise to see what Vegas Vic took in his MLB free pick tonight. Click the link below to find out.

Two American League teams heading in different directions will meet in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon, when the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees wrap up their four-game series at 1:05PM ET.

The Yankees have won the last two games 6-2 and 9-5, respectively, after dropping the opening game in the series, 3-1. The Bombers are currently tied with the Rays in the AL East and need to keep pace with a Tampa team that has won five in a row.

The Tigers, meanwhile, have fallen since the All-Star break. They went into the break leading the AL Central, but are now 12 games behind the Twins in the division. They’ve lost two in a row and are playing .500 ball in their last 10 games.

The Tigers will send Rick Porcello (5-10, 5.53 ERA) to the hill tonight against fellow youngster Phil Hughes (14-5, 3.94).

The San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies are two teams heading in different directions right now.

With their 9-3 win over the Giants on Tuesday night, the Phillies have taken a one-game lead over San Fran in the NL Wild Card race. Philly has won three straight games and seven of their last 10, although they still trail the Braves by 2.5 games in the NL East.

The Giants, meanwhile, have lost two in a row after dropping two of three at home to the NL West-leading Padres. San Fran has lost six of their last 10 and its starting pitchers are now 0-8 with a 5.97 ERA in their last 13 outings.

The two clubs will hook up again tonight at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia at 7:05PM ET. Matt Cain (9-9, 3.11 ERA) will toe the rubber for the Giants, while Joe Blanton (4-6, 5.69 ERA) takes the mound for the Phillies.

A week ago today, the White Sox entered a huge series against AL Central rival Minnesota in Chicago and dropped two of three games. Now the Sox have to travel to Minnesota to take on the Twins and have the unenviable task of trying to beat the Twins in their home park in efforts to stay close to them in the division.

Chicago has now dropped seven of its last 10 games and has lost three straight series (Baltimore, Minnesota and Detroit). The Sox hope that John Danks can rescue them tonight when he toes the slab.

On the other side, the Twins are playing great ball and have now opened up a three-game lead over the Sox in the division. They’ve now won four in a row after sweeping the A’s and have also been victorious in nine of their last 11 outings. Scott Baker will oppose Danks tonight.

After getting crushed by the Braves in Atlanta on Sunday, the L.A. Dodgers are looking to pick up the pieces today when they send Chad Billingsley to the mound. Of course, with Tommy Hanson toeing the rubber for the Braves, the boys in blue might have a tough time getting out of Hotlanta with a “W” in his wrap around series.

One thing Vegas Vic is counting on, however, is a low-scoring game. Click the link below to check out Vegas Vick’s pick for the Dodgers-Braves game today, as well as the rest of his MLB free picks for Monday, August 16.

If you are new to the world of bingo, one of the first things that might puzzle you is the whole concept of bingo patterns. Basically, bingo patterns are the patterns that you create on bingo cards when you circle each correct number on the card or mark on the screen in case you are playing online bingo. Theoretically, there can be an unlimited amount of bingo patterns because the designer who creates the cards can use any pattern for a set of cards. In practice, however, most of these patterns fall into any one of three categories.

These three basic categories are:

Static or standard bingo patterns: as the name would suggest, these patterns cannot be moved or shifted on the bingo card. To win, you need to mark every number on the pattern in the correct order without skipping any numbers.

Crazy bingo patterns: these are very different from the standard patterns above. You are permitted to rotate the patterns 90 degrees at a time to clinch a win. This means that you can rotate the pattern by 90 degrees, 180 degrees or 270 degrees during the game and win if the pattern is complete.

Wild bingo patterns: these formed the third and final category of bingo patterns. Bingo cards in which the patterns are scattered are said to be wild bingo patterns. What this means in effect is that the patterns are themselves static unlike the crazy bingo patterns. However, on the card, they need not be located in any one place but could be located anywhere on the card.

Bingo patterns can be named according to any convention the designer chooses. For instance, you could name the pattern after the resemblance to letters of the English language so that you could have O or T patterns. The patterns could also be named after their resemblance to everyday objects so that a pattern placed in the top right corner of the bingo card could well be called a postage stamp.

If you are interested in learning more about bingo patterns, the best way to do so would be to go online and check out the casinos.

I think that the lesson here is try to win as anonymously as possible…then move away from all your deadbeat relatives. Like to another country

ARIZONA PK over Green Bay
The Cardinals didn’t play their starters much last wk in loss to Packers. Green Bay played to win and showed in blowout. This will be a different Cardinals team. Arizona had success in the playoffs last yr and you will see that here. Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers is now one of the best. Both defenses are solid here. But I believe it will be a high scoring aerial circus with Kurt Warner doing his thing.

CINCINNATI BENGALS -2.5 over N.Y. Jets
Forget last week’s game. The Jets had all the motivation. Cincinnati had nothing to play for. The Bengals were missing four players on defense. Everyone will be ready here. The Jets will want to run the ball almost exclusively. This week Domato Peko is back at DT for the Bengals. The Bengals will force QB Mark Sanchez to beat them. This is a tough task for a rookie in a playoff game on the road. A healthy Carson Palmer has a big edge here. The Jets may bottle up the Bengals running game, but look for Palmer to have a huge game. The Bengals finally win one!

5 STAR-Texas +4.5 over Alabama

The Longhorns are No. 1 in country against the run, the Tide’s Heisman way of moving the ball. Alabama RB Mark Ingram became a target when he won the Heisman over Longhorns QB Colt McCoy.
Alabama’s OL is big, but Texas’ DL counts on speed.
The Longhorns’ game plan will be to disrupt what the Tide does best and make them throw. Not an easy task but the Longhorns have done it all year.
Alabama has a great defense so this game comes down to which QB can carry his team to victory as most defensive games do. Texas will win outright.
McCoy leads the nation in wins (45) the only stat that really matters, and is the second-most accurate passer at 70-plus percent. He has over 10,000 more career passing yards than Jr. Greg McElroy. McCoy has thrown eight more picks than McElroy this season, but he’s also thrown 10 more TDs. He took the starting job as a Soph. after Vince Young won the BCS Championship against USC and knows this is it for his chance to win one.
If you believe in trends or angles. The No. 2 team has beaten No. 1 in three of the last four meetings for the BCS title, beginning with Texas over USC.
Add to it Alabama having the Heisman winner, never good, and crowned SEC champs. Most people in the South consider that the real championship.
The great thing about college football is that emotion is a huge factor. Alabama put everything they had into beating Florida. What do they have left a month later to get motivated for this game. Texas lots of emotion left in the tank for this one. I’m taking the points in an upset. Hookem’ Horns.
