When the Philadelphia 76’ers take the court against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, they will do so without their best big man, and one of the most prized free agents of the off-season, Elton Brand, at full strength. That’s not a good thing because the Houston Rockets have perhaps the best center in the NBA right now, Yao Ming.

Coach K has Duke where they should be, ranked number one in the nation and on their way to another ACC title.

The Deacons were ranked number one in the nation before suffering a loss to Virginia Tech.
The Villanova Wildcats have had a lot of trouble covering spreads against the Pittsburgh Panthers, but can a new location help break the drought?

You have seen the photos — Broadway Joe in Miami, lounging by the pool. Joe Cool, uttering the preposterous without a blink: The Jets will beat the Colts, Namath guaranteed it. And then the game, in which the new guard (Namath and the AFL) showed the old guard (Johnny U. and the NFL) that it ain’t bragging if you can do it.

I am submitting some Super Bowl props for the digestion of the powers-that-be at BetUS, and I certainly hope they can make use of “The Charles Jay Line” on things. Actually, I do this every year, in the pursuit of laying some out that aren’t part of the menu appearing at any other source. There are so many of them that I cannot be certain these are completely original, but I wouldn’t bet against it.
