This SEC Thursday Night ESPN clash could go a long way to determining post season hopes of both in 2009. Mississippi is coming in 3-0 straight up and ranked #4 in the nation. This is the first real test for the Rebels and heading into very hostile waters in Columbia, SC.
Detroit has done seemingly everything in its power to let Minnesota & Chicago back into the AL Central race. However, the Tigers pulled out a crucial game on Sunday against the Twins to keep their lead at 3-games in the standings.

We could find out tonight when they visit slumping Cleveland on Tuesday night.

Week two saw offense take center stage as nine games went over and eight teams scored 30 or more points on their own. For the most part, the seven games that stayed under were well below their predicted totals especially the Patriots-Jets game which was a shocker.
The following is a recap of each game’s The Over/Under was set at NFL betting line and the actual results.
North Texas quarterback Riley Dodge returns for the Mean Green this week against Middle Tennessee.

The USC Trojans aren’t supposed to lose to unranked teams yet that is what they have done three years in a row. Three years ago, they were throttled by Stanford as 40 + point favorites ATS at home.
Two years ago, they were beat by Oregon State on the road as 20 + point favorites. This past Saturday it happened again as Washington, unranked as a +20 ½ point favorite, upset the might 2nd ranked USC Trojans to all but end the Trojans’ hopes for a shot at the BCS Championship.
