As time wore on Carolina would wear down

My guess is they move Chad around as much as possible looking for the right match up. As usual Nnamdi will do just fine but we haven't heard the name Routt much lately...let's hope it stays that way. Will the Bungles make a appearanceFirst clue...they signed yet another deadbeat troublemaker this week. It's guy like this that have doomed the franchise for most of the last decade. In that case welcome to the Bengals L.J. Any big predictions for the gameYes. DHB gets his first touchdown, promptly turns to the camera an mouths..."Suck it Crabtree." You heard it here first. Bengals run game looks tough... Raider run D is ranked 29thIt's time for our Polish superstar to shine. No, the other polish superstar, yes the bald one, no not that bald one..yes Polish not polish.

Our opponents have rushed 317 time against us, averaging 4.4 yards per carry...that 155.6 per game on average 317 is about 117 times more than it should be 117 at 4.4 yards per carry is 514 yards. If he does our defense is top ten. Is Gradkowski the answer to our little Raider prayersProbably not but I'm still excited. I hear once you go Polish it's ....it's...well it's probably not that good but will certainly do if you're desperate. Well Bruce, my beer goggles are ready. Do you have any good nicknames for Bruce yetYes. Since he's of Polish background I went with something traditional. Steve. Do you think de-clawing should be illegalYes, how would you like it if I cut the tips of your fingers off you bastards. I've got a dirty little feeling about this game.

Steve might be exactly what this team needs...a mediocre QB to not screw things up and rely on the running game and defense to win it.

On Friday night, 24th ranked Syracuse beat the defending National Champion North Carolina Tarheels by making them look like a Division II squad in the second half. Syracuse took the 2K Sports title, defeating the Tarheels in a 87-71 win.After starting the season without three key players from last years Big East Championship team, the Orangemen found themselves in primetime against the Tarheels on Friday night in Madison Square GardenLast time 'Cuse saw the Tarheels was Nov 21, 1987 with UNC coming away victorious 96-93.After North Carolina won the tip, the first possession of the 2K Sports Title would end up thrown out of boundsnothing new to an offense that averages about twenty per game this season.The turnovers would keep on coming.From the beginning Syracuse looked in control, starting the game on an 8-0 run and keeping UNC from scoring for the first three minutes.Then Carolina, with a few steals, brought themselves back from a 8-0 deficit to take the lead 13-11.As time wore on, Carolina would wear down.Syracuse's reinvigorated defense slowly fatigued the Carolina offense, creating turnovers by keeping them passing, running and cutting. As the first half wore on, poor offensive play by Syracuse gave the Tarheels a two point halftime lead, 39-37.Syracuse went on a tear to start the second halfsomething to the tune of a 22-1 run.In fact, Syracuse would play so impressively that ESPN ran an inset 'Roy Williams FaceBox' during the game to better our idea of the punishment his team was taking.But how How could UNC have ever seen this coming These were the same Orangemen that lost to Division II LeMoyne 82-79. They beat a Cal team missing two of their key men and it appeared that they simply couldn't match up with the Tarheels.Syracuse proved that wasn't the case. Not any longer.As the Orange found themselves up 85-69 with just under two minutes to go, many of us finally figured something out. The Big East is the most dominant conference in the country.Here was the 24th ranked team in the country, ranked 5th in the Big East, absolutely punishing the National Champions.Sure, the Tarheels aren't exactly what they were last yearthey've lost some great players.Of course, you can say it's just November basketball.

Tomorrow, Arsenal face Sunderland at the Stadium Of Light or to be precise at Sunderland's home.Arsenal barely grabbed a point last year at The Stadium Of Light. Sunderland have lost only one match so far at their home this season whereas, Arsenal have lost two away games this season; both of them to the Manchester clubs.With their current goal tally very few will worry for them but with Gael Clichy, Nicklas Bendtner, Abou Diaby, Robin Van Persie, Kieren Gibbs on the injury list and William Gallas, Bacary Sagna doubtful after their international matches Arsenal could face their real test. Andrei Arshavin will start on the bench.A good news is Jack Wlishere, Theo Walcott and Denilson will return. Eduardo and Carlos Vela are most likely to be the strike partners. The duo have also played once before against Burnley last season I expect the formation to be a modified 4-3-3.
