NC State is looking to snap an eight game losing streak coming into the season. The program snatched up Dave Doeren his first year on campus was hardly a success.
The Raiders won only 4 games last season but when you look at the personnel they were putting on the field even that seems like more than they should have.
The Diamondbacks took the opener of the series behind a rare sharp pitching performance. Arizona is going nowhere this season but they have hopped ahead of Colorado and could easily pass San Diego as well.
Despite intense scrutiny the Jets finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs last season. I know that result was far from comforting to fans but at least it was an improvement from the year before.
The Yankees began the weekend in the Wild Card spot and with a 16 game home winning streak against the Blue Jays.
The Giants didn’t exactly hit rock bottom last season but it was definitely a disappointment.
A lot of the talk right now is whether Russia should still get a chance to host the World Cup in 2014. Whether they will or won’t is politics so lets focus on who will that event, regardless of where it is played. Here is a look at the odds of the top contenders so far.

Lots of change for Louisville this season as they enter the ACC and welcome back Bobby Petrino as coach. Under former coach Charlie Strong the Cardinals were beasts of the Big East but last year they fell short in their bid to capture an AAC title.
It took a hell of a team to break the SEC’s stranglehold on the BCS trophy but that is what Florida State did last season. The Seminoles dominated on offense and defense last season and they look as good as any team of recent vintage in terms of the possibility of a repeat championship.
When the Tiger beat Georgia in an opening week thriller it looked like last season might be the year they break through on the promise they have been building over the years.
It seems like there have been a lot of extra inning games since the break doesn’t it. The Giants and Phillies played 14 last night with the Giants winning and jumping slightly ahead of the Dodgers for the lead in the NL West.
For the first time in a long time the defending champ is not residing in the SEC. Louisville joins the ACC this season and this strengthens the league, but it does not look like defending conference and national champs, Florida State, is going to be opposed much this season.
