The Stanford Cardinal are coming off of another strong season, and they’re set to enter 2013 as one of the favorites to rip a national championship away from the SEC. Head coach David Shaw is 23-4 during his two years with the team, and he’s coming off of a 12-2 record, which includes wins in both the Pac-12 championship and the Rose Bowl.
The Washington State Cougars entered 2012 with high hopes following the hiring of Mike Leach. The return of the head coach to college football was supposed to bring the team a new flair, and while the exciting offense was certainly there at times, the success that followed was underwhelming to say the least.
A ton of hype surrounds the Denver Broncos this upcoming season in what is being described as a “Super Bowl or Bust” campaign. And why not? The Broncos did have one of the better defenses in the NFL last year and Peyton Manning did pay immediate dividends without showing the affects of multiple off-season neck surgeries.
Finally the Norv Turner era is over in San Diego. No more talk about this being a make-or-break season for Mr. Underachiever.

He’s claimed the receiving title in each of the last two years, by a wide margin, but there’s just no fun in backing Calvin Johnson (+300) to pull off the same feat a third year in a row. Many bettors disagree, as the appeal of backing a man who just broke Jerry Rice’s single-season receiving mark can be too much for some to resist.
The PGA Pros move from England to Canada this week for the second straight National Open. The RBC Canadian Open will take place at a familiar spot – Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario where the Canadian Open has been held 25 times.
The ‘Race to the Chase’ is on as NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series makes its annual stop at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week for the running of the Samuel Deeds 400 at the fabled Brickyard.
The Cardinals have the best record in the Majors (60-37) and they are in first place in the NL Central 1.5 games ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Utah Utes entered the 2012 season with high expectations after a successful first season in the Pac-12. Unfortunately for them, injuries and inconsistency plagued the team throughout the year, meaning they’ll enter 2013 a bit more under the radar than they were a year ago.
