Check out some news and notes and computer trends for
Friday NCAA football and the final day of NFL preseason football. Normally
these reports are separate, but with just two games tonight, we will combine
the two. Let’s start out with the computer trends, where all records are
against the spread unless of course, over/under is specified.

CFB

Temple-Army

Trends: Temple
is 6-2 their last eight against Independents. Army is 3-8 on fake surfaces and
the Black Knights have gone over 8-2 on turf.

Notes: Army debuts their new turf and they have not won a
home opener since 1996. Army must replace four of their top five tacklers from
last year. This could be a high scoring game as each team does return their
starting quarterback. 

SMU-Rice

SMU is 4-9 their last 13
overall. Rice has won 11-of-14 conference games and the Owls have exceeded the
total at a staggering 40-11 rate.  Rice
is 39-17 in conference play going back even further.

Throw out the SMU game films
from previous years and June Jones makes his debut as the Mustangs coach. Jones
of course is the man who rebuilt his alma mater Hawaii.
Wow, Rice’s defense allowed more than 42 points per game. Rice has won nine
straight at home in the series.

NFL

Chargers-49ers

The Niners starters will only
play a series. No surprise, but the Chargers will certainly be without
LaDainian Tomlinson and Shawne Merriman. San
Francisco color analyst Gary Plummer claims this game
is much more important to San Francisco.

the NFL preseason? It all comes down to tonight’s Wise Guy side selection. GodsTips

Raiders-Seahawks

Again, no surprise, but Seattle will sit Matt Hasselbeck, Lofa Tatupu, Bobby Engram, Deion Branch, and Sean Locklear—basically anyone
who is good and claims to be hurt.

Seattle should
run the ball a lot. As mentioned, their No. 1 quarterback, Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s brother-in-law is out and won’t face any of
the charging Rosie O’Donnell look-alikes. Backup Seneca Wallace is limited and
third stringer Charlie Frye missed their only practice. Dalton Bell (who?) will
throw most of the passes.

Oakland
starting quarterback JaMarcus Russell sits. Andrew Walter starts behind center
and Marques Tuiasosopo follows.

Broncos-Cardinals

Kurt Warner starts at quarterback Friday for the Rams. For
those who love to bet on teams with quarterback battles, this game is for you.
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has not said whether Warner on Matt Leinart starts
opening week. Both are expected to get snaps behind the starting offensive
line.

MasterLockLine.com has the top plays from the top sports service in
their highest ranked sports. The power
of 620

behind every selection went 4-1 last night. We just got off the
phone with their staff supervisor and they are assuring a great card tonight,
though at press time it is not completed. Check out the home page of OffshoreInsiders.com
