West Virginia-Pittsburgh

Beaver County Times

The Panthers won’t be throwing the ball every down in
tonight’s Backyard Brawl.
But you may see them air it out more than usual. With quarterback Tyler Palko playing well and the running game’s inability to run
out the fourth quarter in a loss at Connecticut, coach Dave Wannstedt may let
loose a little on offense. And since West Virginia’s
run defense is better than its pass defense, Palko
becomes the focal point of Pitt’s upset bid. WVU is
ranked last in the Big East in passing yardage allowed. By popular request,

After three straight losses—two against teams perceived to
be inferior—the University of Pittsburgh
football team faces apparently insurmountable odds.

Akron-Ohio

Sports Network

The Ohio Bobcats will try to clinch their first-ever MAC
East Division title when they host the Akron Zips this Thursday night at Peden Stadium in Athens. The Zips come into the contest with
victories in three of their last four games. Akron
has started to show signs of life over the past few weeks,
however, it could be too late for the Zips to make a push for the division
title. The Zips are scoring just 22.9 ppg this year behind 338.3 total ypg. A big reason for the sudden improvement on offense is
the progress of the ground game. In the recent victory over Buffalo,
the rushing attack continued its positive strides, accounting for 144 yards on
37 carries. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top
sports service in their highest ranked sports.

A win Thursday will give the Bobcats (7-3, 5-1 MAC) their
first-ever MAC East Division crown and all but guarantee a spot in one of the
three bowl games MAC teams are eligible to make, regardless of what happens in
the MAC championship game Nov. 30. After a surprising 2005 campaign in which
they defeated Northern Illinois for the MAC
championship, the Zips were picked to repeat as East Division champions in the
preseason poll. Early struggles in its conference schedule, however, have left Akron
(5-5, 3-3 MAC) in a position where it would need to win out, along with a
little help, to fulfill the prediction. Led by a balanced offense and a stingy
rush defense, the Zips are winners of three of their last four and seem to be
looking like the team those polled, and Solich,
expected it to be. “It’s obvious that they’ve got talent and it’s obvious that
they’re playing good football right now,” Solich
said. “The combination of those two things can make things difficult for the
team.” In its last four games, the Akron
offense has averaged 377.5 yards per game thanks mostly to the efforts of
quarterback Luke Getsy and tailback Dennis Kennedy. Getsy currently ranks second in the MAC, averaging 230.3
passing yards per game while Kennedy is the conference’s third best rusher,
gaining 95.3 yards per contest.Unlike many of the
quarterbacks Ohio has faced this season, Getsy is a
more traditional passer, letting his arm do most of the damage and only running
for yards when absolutely necessary. Muncy said that
the team is aware of Getsy’s throwing abilities and
stressed that the team can not underestimate his ability to scramble. The 11
players the Zips line up on defense aren’t slouches either, particularly
against the run, ranking fourth in the MAC by allowing just 131.7 yards on the
ground per contest. This could spell trouble for the Bobcats, as a strong
reliance on the ground game has keyed the team’s current five-game winning
streak. Ohio is averaging 218.2
rushing yards while gaining just 87.6 yards per game through the air over the
past five games.  Joe Duffy’s sports

Michigan State-Texas

Press Notes

After capturing the East Lansing Regional of the College
Hoops Classic with victories over Brown and Youngstown
State
, the Spartans are ready to
play the Championship Rounds in New York City.
Michigan State
and Texas are very similar in
that they both lost a lot of their experience, scoring and rebounding from last
year. MSU fills the void with a mix of returners and freshman, while UT leans heavily on
first-year players. Michigan State
defeated Brown (45-34) and Youngstown
State
(86-61) to advance to the
Championship Rounds of the College Hoops Classic. In the season opener, MSU managed to score just 45 points, but held Brown to 34,
the lowest total by a Spartan opponent since Northwestern scored 29 on Jan. 27, 2000. The next day, the
Spartan offense erupted for 86 points. Through three games, Michigan State
leads the Big Ten in scoring defense (45.3 ppg) and field-goal percentage
defense (.320), while ranking tied for second in blocked shots (5.33 bpg) and third in 3-point field-goal percentage defense
(.281). Texas advanced to New
York
with two victories in the Austin Regional by an
average margin of victory of +42.5 points. In the regional semifinal, UT
defeated Alcorn State,
103-44, behind 20 points from freshman Kevin Durant. In the second game, the
Longhorns used a 28-point effort from A.J. Abrams to
defeat Chicago State, 92-66. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic
handicapping and part of OffshoreInsiders.com
   Like Michigan State, Texas had three players
drafted in the 2006 NBA Draft (LaMarcus Aldridge, P.J. Tucker and Daniel Gibson). The Longhorns return just
14 percent of their scoring, 10 percent of their rebounding and 17 percent of
their minutes played from last season. Texas
roster features seven true freshmen and the probable starting lineup consists
of three freshmen and two sophomores.

South Carolina-USC

Press Notes

The USC men’s basketball team (0-0) opens the season vs. South
Carolina
(1-0). Two-time defending NIT champion South
Carolina
returns two starters and five lettermen from
a team that went 23-15 during the 2005-06 season. They have added seven
newcomers, including three transfers that are eligible for action this season.
USC returns four starters from a team that went 17-13. Things would really be
looking up for the Trojans if not for the tragic shooting death of freshman
point guard Ryan Francis last May and for junior All-Pac-10 guard Gabe Pruitt being academically ineligible for the first
semester. All-Pac-10 swingman Nick Young, however, does return to lead the
Trojans. By popular request, check out our new “Bet It
Trinity” full year pass!
You get the top three sports services, every play
in every sport for 365 days.  Last season
he was one of three players in the Pac-10 to rank in the top 10 in the
conference in both scoring and rebounds (17.3 ppg. 6.6 rpg)
and is the leading returning scorer. Also back are senior guard Lodrick Stewart, who is the top returning career scorer in
the Pac-10 and senior center Abdoulaye N’diaye, who had 47 blocks and averaged 4.5 points and 4.7
rebounds per game in his first year at USC. The Trojans have brought in a
strong recruiting class which features seven freshmen and is expected to give
the Trojans the depth that they lacked a year ago. The Trojans lead the Pac-10
in returning production with 83.7 percent of their scoring and 86.5 percent of
their rebounding from the 2005-06 season returning (includes Pruitt’s numbers).
USC also leads with 96 percent of their blocked shot producers returning. The
Trojans return the conference’s top two scorers from last season (Young – 17.3
and Pruitt 16.9) and the fourth-leading rebounder in
Young (6.6). Senior Lodrick Stewart is the top active
career scorer in the Pac-10 with 956 points.

NC Greensboro-Duke

Scout.com

This will be the seventh overall meeting between the Blue
Devils and Spartans, with Duke holding a perfect 6-0 record against UNCG. The teams have met in each of the past two seasons
with the Blue Devils. Don’t expect the Spartans to be impressed when they line
up across from the Blue Devils. UNC-G returns all
five starter’s from last year’s team that pushed Duke for most of the first
half before J.J. Redick’s
shooting display (35 points) proved to be too much. In addition to Hines, the
Spartans return scoring guard Randy Hickman, who scored 23 points (9-of-15
shooting) a season ago.

Bowling Green-Arkansas State

ASUIndians.com

Arkansas State
opened its season against some tough competition at the Cox Classic last
weekend, falling to Clemson, Old Dominion and Monmouth.  By popular
request, check out our new “Bet It
Trinity” full year pass!
You get the top three sports services, every play
in every sport for 365 days.  All three
teams won at least 19 games last season and competed in either the NCAA Tournament
or the Postseason NIT.  While ASU played its
first three games away from the Convocation
Center
, it will play three of its
next four games at home. Bowling Green
State
, coming off a 9-21 year, won
its season opener 89-52 over Denison
They were led by four players scoring in double figures, inlcuding
Brian Moten and Martin Samarco
with a team-high 15 points each.  The Falcons return four starters and
eight lettermen from last year’s team. The Indians have won their last six home
openers and are 10-1 all-time in home openers under head coach Dickey
Nutt.  ASU holds victories over teams such as Southeast
Missouri State
,
Baylor and McNeese
State
in home openers under Coach
Nutt.

CLASSIC QUALITY OVER QUANTITY NIGHT

College basketball reigns supreme tonight, Wise Guy and
Major. America’s
Greatest always allows the card to dictate how many selections we make.
Sometimes we have more plays on short card than we do on a full slate.
Wednesday, there are two classic examples of teams either under or overvalued
based on aberrational one game performances. This is why we dominate starting
early in the year. One is a Wise Guy, the other a Major. Click now to

NBA

SEATTLE -4 Philadelphia

The Sixers have come back down to earth quickly. Following
a shocking 3-0 start, they have lost three in a row. They face a Seattle
team sky high following a three game road winning streak.

Remember, Seattle
comes in undervalued off a very disappointing year. Even their losses have been
competitive, with a four point margin the biggest they’ve suffered. That
includes road games at Miami and
Orlando in back to back nights.

The Sixers open a short but difficult road trip tonight at
KeyArena against the Seattle SuperSonics,
a team that put up 119 points Monday against the New Jersey Nets, considered
one of the league’s better teams.

The Sonics, along with the next two opponents on this
trip, Phoenix and the Los Angeles
Clippers, average more than 100 points.

For a Sixers team that has spent a lot of time patching up
holes in the defense, a main contributor to its three-game losing streak, a
shoot-out with one, two or all three of these opponents is not desirable.

Philly has allowed 103.7 points per game in their recent
three-game skid. It gets ugly tonight.

Xavier-Virginia Commonwealth

Press Notes

Xavier is off to a 1-0 start under third-year head coach
Sean Miller after winning its 17th straight season opener with the
win over Coastal Carolina. XU was 21-11 overall last season, recording its
ninth 20-win season in the last 10 years and its 19th 20-win season
in the last 24 years. XU has appeared in five of the last six NCAA Tournaments.
The Musketeers won the 2006 Atlantic 10 Championship by winning four games in
four days this past March, making NCAA history by accomplishing that feat twice
(having also done it in 2004). The 2006 championship was XU’s second A-10 title
in three years and its fourth in the past nine years, including 1998, 2002,
2004 and 2006. All five starters are back from the team that made the
late-season championship run, including seniors Justin Cage and Justin Doellman. Cage was the 2006 A-10 Championship MVP while Doellman has led XU in rebounding two straight seasons.
Junior forward Josh Duncan, who sat out the exhibitions due to injury, returned
Saturday.  Virginia
Commonwealth
, 19-10 last season, has a new head coach in Anthony Grant,
a former long-time assistant under Billy Donovan at
Florida. Grant is no stranger to Xavier fans, having played at the
University of Dayton from 1983-87.

BUTLER +3 Notre Dame

The Irish have eight freshman and sophomore, so expect
some inconsistency. Fresh of blowout of IPFW, we look for them to get blown out by a good Butler
team. Butler has beaten Notre Dame
five straight, yet is a pup tonight.

The Irish won’t be able to exploit Butler
inside they way they did against an overmatched IPFW
team. We look for Butler to make it
six straight.

NFL

Here are news and notes from OffshoreInsiders.com
 private clipboard.  They are compiled from hometown newspapers
and the team’s own press releases.

Buccaneers-Panthers

Houston Chronicle

The Buccaneers (2-6) have scored a total of seven points
in the first quarter all season. The Panthers (4-4) have led going into the
fourth quarter in seven of eight games, only to lose three of them. They haven’t
scored a point in the second half in the last two games, both losses. While Gradkowski has thrown only one interception, the Bucs have
the second-worst offense in the league. Five times, Carnell “Cadillac” Williams
has rushed for 48 yards or less, including last week, when he managed only 39
yards on 12 carries against the Saints.On defense,
Simeon Rice has only two sacks as a sore shoulder has affected his play. He and
defensive tackle Ellis Wyms missed practice time late
in the week and may not play Monday, giving coach Jon Gruden more headaches. The Bucs rank 22nd
in the NFL in total defense.
  It’s
been a long two weeks for the Panthers, who had a bye last week after being
outscored 25-0 in the fourth quarter of a Sunday night loss to Dallas
a week earlier. Carolina committed
three turnovers in the final 10 minutes to blow a 14-10 lead. It left star
receiver Steve Smith grumbling about the play calling and for being asked to
return punts. Smith hasn’t answered football questions since, and coach John
Fox wouldn’t say if Smith will return punts against the Buccaneers.Johnson,
never shy to talk, thinks the Panthers get complacent when they get the lead. Carolina
has been outscored 77-30 in the fourth quarter.

The Ledger

As if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn’t have enough
problems, now they face a new challenge.Monday night’s
game at Carolina will be the first
of three games in 11 days. For a 2-6 team nursing some
injuries that’s not a good recipe for trying to turn a season around.

Youngstown-Duquesne

Press Notes

Duquesne’s projected starting lineup for the Youngstown
State game consists of three freshmen (Robert Mitchell, Scott Grote & Stephen Wood), a junior college transfer
(Reggie Jackson) and a sophomore (returnee Aaron Jackson). DU
has never opened a season with three freshman in the starting five (since
freshman were granted eligibility in 1972-73). Only three players on the
opening day roster (Aaron Jackson, Kieron Achara and Almamy Thiero) have Division I playing experience Of the three, Aaron Jackson is the only one who hasn’t missed
extensive practice time due to injury. It was learned Friday that Achara will be out indefinitely with stress fractures in
his left foot .Thiero, a first-year graduate student
transfer from Memphis, is back at practice following Oct. 9 arthroscopic surgery
on his left knee. DU will have seven scholarship
players available for the YSU game. DU is coming off
a 3-24 season (ranked 308 in the final RPI).

Press Notes

Lafayette is
1-0 on the season, coming off a 76-70 win at Wagner Friday evening. Indiana
also enters Monday’s game at 1-0 after defeating Indianapolis,
83-46, Friday night.

Notre Dame-Butler

Press Notes

Here’s some of the numbers from Friday night’s win over IPFW. Notre Dame shot 61.5 percent in the first half. Notre
Dame returns three starters (Colin Falls,
Russell Carter and Rob Kurz) and five others who
earned monograms. The strength of the Irish once again will rest with its
ability to score points. Under Mike Brey, Notre Dame teams have demonstrated the ability to score points. A year
ago, the Irish averaged 76.4 points per game and topped the 80-plus mark 12
times. Falls (13.8 ppg.), Carter (11.5 ppg.) and Kurz
(6.4 ppg.) should be Notre Dame’s top scoring threats as the Irish once again
expect to have a potent offensive attack, but hope to improve defensively and
the 70.7 points per game they yielded a year ago. With the graduations of Chris
Quinn (17.7 ppg., 6.4 aspg.),
Torin Francis (11.6 ppg., 9.4 rpg.) and Rick Cornett
(5.4 ppg., 3.6 rpg.), there will be plenty of opportunity for contributions
from a new group of individuals. Notre Dame owns an all-time record of 84-18
(.824) all-time in season openers and have won all seven of its openers under
head coach Mike Brey. Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic
handicapping and part of OffshoreInsiders.com
    Since
the opening of the Joyce Center in 1968-69, Irish teams are 33-6 (.846) in home
openers. The last time Notre Dame lost a season opener at home was to Miami of
Ohio on November 13, 1998.
Under head coach Mike Brey, the Irish are 22-2 (.917)
all-time in games played during the month of November. The two November losses
have been to Creighton 80-75 in the championship game of the Guardians Classic
on Nov. 26, 2002 and to North
Carolina
State

(61-48) at the John R. Wooden Tradition at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis
on Nov. 26.

Northern Arizona-Arizona State

Press Notes

Arizona State University men’s basketball team returns six
lettermen for the 2006-2007 season and opens the Herb Sendek
era on Nov. 13 against Big Sky favorite and 2006 regular season champion
Northern Arizona (21-11/12-2 in Big Sky last year) followed by a Nov. 15 game
against Cal State San Bernardino. Joe Duffy’s sports betting selections are at www.GodsTips.com With ASU
losing its top two scorers from last season in guards Kevin Kruger (15.0 ppg.)
and Bryson Krueger (12.3 ppg.), look for ASU’s three
freshmen perimeter players (Christian Polk, Jerren
Shipp and Derek Glasser) to get their chances for
quality playing time early.

Fordham-Tennessee

Press Notes

The Vols opened their 98th
season of varsity basketball with an 82-53 victory over Middle Tennessee Friday
in Knoxville. The Vols return two starters, including their top scorer from
last season. Chris Lofton, a preseason Wooden Award candidate, led the Vols with 17.2 points in 2005-06 while making 114
3-pointers, the second-highest total in Southeastern Conference history. Dane
Bradshaw, the lone senior on the squad, returns after averaging 7.1 points and
5.4 rebounds while leading the SEC in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.76). One of
the best sixth-men in the league last season, junior guard JaJuan
Smith averaged 9.5 points last year.

SAN DIEGO -1 Cincinnati

The Chargers are loaded and like we say, Marty
Schottenheimer is a great regular season coach. 
We’ll talk again come playoff time. The best way to stop a slumping, but
talented offense is to keep them off the field. 
San Diego leads the league
in time of possession. The Bengals have lost two straight games and four out of
the last five to drop to 4-4 and face a daunting schedule in the second half of
the season, beginning with Sunday’s home game against AFC West co-leader San
Diego
. The Chargers are 6-2, have failed to score at
least 23 points in a game just once and their two defeats have come by a
combined total of six points.

San Diego’s
Philip Rivers has completed 66.4 percent of his passes and thrown 10 touchdowns
compared to just three interceptions. San Diego
head coach Marty Schottenheimer was criticized early in the season for limiting
Rivers and the passing game, but Rivers now has as many completions as Palmer
(158) on 20 fewer attempts.

Remember, his counterpart, Carson Palmer is off his game,
ten months after surgery for a knee injury that many thought would end his
career.

Rams-Seahawks

Seattle Post Intelligencer

Home field hasn’t always been that big an advantage in
this series. The Rams won the division title in 2003, and beat the Seahawks at
Qwest Field. The Seahawks won the division title in 2004, but lost to the Rams
twice at home—once in the regular season and again in the first round of the
playoffs. The Rams won four of five during the 2003 and ‘04 seasons. The
Seahawks have won the past three meetings.Since
entering the Week 6 game against the Seahawks at 4-1,

Chiefs-Dolphins

Sun Sentinel

Dolphins defensive end David Bowens
didn’t practice Friday because of a strained hamstring suffered during Thursday’s
session. Bowens is listed as questionable on the team’s injury report for
Sunday’s game against visiting Kansas City.
For Kansas City, two injured
starters – linebacker Derrick Johnson (ankle) and right tackle Kevin Sampson
(foot) – were officially declared out Friday. Keyaron
Fox will start for Johnson, while Kyle Turley, who had an offseason tryout with
the Dolphins as a tight end, replaces Sampson.Former
Dolphins strong safety Sammy Knight also was added to Kansas
City
’s injury list as probable with an ankle injury. Joe

Bears-Giants

NY Times

Two weeks ago, Awasom was on the
practice squad, but when LaVar Arrington was lost for
the season with an Achilles’ injury and Osi Umenyiora sustained a hip injury against the Cowboys on
Oct. 23, Awasom was promoted to the roster.Awasom, who has never started a game in the N.F.L., could replace Michael Strahan,
who is sidelined two to four weeks with a sprained right foot. “We have all of
those defensive linemen working together in different spots and that will end
up being a game-time decision,” Coach Tom Coughlin said. “He is ready to go.” Umenyiora and another defensive end, Justin Tuck, will most
likely miss the Bears game, along with linebacker Brandon Short (quadriceps).
“I am not worried about theguys that are playing
right now,” Coughlin said. “We’ve just got to put the emphasis on those that
are playing and make sure they are prepared. They know what they are doing and
they know what their responsibilities are.” In spite of the injuries —
including wide receiver Amani Toomer
(knee), who is out for the season — the Giants have won five consecutive games
and the locker room was upbeat Friday after practice. Approved sportsbooks are at www.linetrackers.com 
 

Saints-Steelers

Post Gazette

The Steelers (2-6) try to stop a three-game losing streak
against the New Orleans Saints (6-2) at Heinz Field.

Redskins-Eagles

Washington Post

Wide receiver Santana Moss was upgraded to probable on the
Washington Redskins’ injury report, but a final decision on whether he can play
will be determined before tomorrow’s kickoff in Philadelphia. Moss, tight end
Christian Fauria, who was upgraded to probable with
an ankle injury, and a handful of other players will
be given fitness tests during warmups before the
game. Moss is Washington’s top
producing wide receiver over the past two seasons. Neither Brandon Lloyd nor Antwaan Randle El has topped 200 receiving yards for the
season; they combined for two catches and 26 yards last week against Dallas.
Lloyd missed Thursday’s practice with a mild groin problem but returned to the
field yesterday and said he will play. Fauria made a
quick turnaround yesterday after missing practice all week and needing a
walking cast on his left ankle. Like Moss, he was upgraded from questionable to
probable on the injury report. Wide receiver David Patten (hamstring), tackle
Jon Jansen (calf), tight end Chris Cooley (shoulder) and cornerback Carlos
Rogers (thumb) practiced and are expected to be available to play tomorrow. Cornerback
Shawn Springs
,
who missed most of training camp and the first half of the season with groin
and abdominal injuries, was rested yesterday as a precaution, but will play
tomorrow, Gibbs said.  Stevie Vincent’s BetOnSports360.com is pioneer in forensic

Jets-Patriots

Newsday

The Patriots have beaten the Jets seven straight times,
including once already this season, and are looking to make it eight at
Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

Broncos-Raiders

SF Gate

Raiders’ defense is already ranked third league-wide in
red-zone defense, second in pass defense and tied for sixth with 10
interceptions. The Raiders have scored 92 points in eight games. The defense
has scored 20 of them (plus three extra points), and spoon-fed the offense 16
more with turnovers in the opponents’ territory.

Packers-Vikings

St. Paul Press

Linebacker Napoleon Harris (dislocated left wrist) and
wide receiver Marcus Robinson (bruised lower back) were ruled out of Sunday’s
game, meaning a second consecutive start at middle linebacker for Dontarrious Thomas.

Childress, asked if he’s
concerned about Harris’ injury dragging on, said he didn’t know. “It’s a pretty
good injury,” he said. “He’s got to be able to play and play at a high level,
not just be a body in there.” Defensive end Darrion
Scott (left ankle sprain) practiced but remains questionable, and Childress
said he wants to see how the ankle responds. Rookie Ray Edwards would start if
Scott can’t play. Everyone else is expected to play, including fullback Tony
Richardson (thumb) and defensive tackle Pat Williams (knee), who were upgraded
to probable. For the Packers, wide receiver Greg Jennings (questionable-ankle)
made it through a portion of practice but had to stop because of soreness and
will be a game-time decision. MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top
sports service in their highest ranked sports.  
 

Cowboys-Cardinals

Star Telegram

Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn
practiced briefly Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday with a
lingering right knee injury. Glenn is listed as probable on the injury report
for Sunday’s game against Arizona
but said it will be a game-time decision. He has chondromalacia,
a roughening of the cartilage under his kneecap, and said he has trouble cutting.Glenn had three catches for 26 yards, including a
10-yard touchdown, against Washington last week after getting a shot to numb
the pain before the game. He said he will likely have to do the same in order
to play against the Cardinals. If Glenn doesn’t play, rookie Sam Hurd will likely replace him in the lineup. Stevie

East Valley Tribune

The Cardinals will face a 3-4 defense Sunday for the first
time since the season opener, a twist a struggling offense may not need right
now. The reality is the Cardinals have regressed on offense as the season has
progressed. Arizona has just 442
yards and 23 points in the two games since Mike Kruczek
was promoted to offensive coordinator, and the Cowboys feature the fifth-ranked
defense in the NFL. Coach Dennis Green kept his offensive line the same this
game, choosing to stick with Chris Liwienski at right
guard instead of putting the now-healed Milford Brown back in. That was in part
because Green felt the running game showed some signs of life in Green
Bay
, when Edgerrin James ran for 84 yards (on 24
carries). Green also expressed optimism quarterback Matt Leinart wouldn’t
continue to slump. Leinart’s passing rating the past
two games is 44.4.  Joe Duffy’s sports

49ers-Lions

Inside Bay Area

Hoping to improve their play away from home, the 49ers
have ended a short-lived experiment in which they departed for road games in
the eastern or central time zone the day before the game. “That was a mistake,”
coach Mike Nolan said Friday shortly before the 49ers
flew to Detroit, where they’ll play
Sunday against the Lions. Nolan decided to change the 49ers’ traditional departure
day for road games during an off-season evaluation of the team’s play last
season, when the 49ers won only one of their eight games away from home. The Niners Vernon Davis’ comeback from a cracked right fibula
apparently will have to wait until at least next week’s game against Seattle.
The rookie tight end was again held out of practice Friday and remained
doubtful for Sunday’s game at Detroit.
The outlook was more promising for safety Chad Williams (quad) and cornerback
Walt Harris (hip pointer). They were both upgraded from questionable to
probable after going through Friday’s practice. Williams sustained the hip
pointer during last Sunday’s 9-3 win over Minnesota.
Harris missed the Minnesota game
after suffering a quad injury during a midweek practice.
