Virginia Tech at Miami. The Hokies are a much more efficient team with QB Sean Glennon running the offense. And they have found a running game in RB Darren Evans. But Tech has struggled on the road this season, while Miami has speed to burn on both sides of the ball. I wouldn't be surprised if Tech snatches this one late, but my gut tells me that the Hurricanes will prevail in a competitive slugfest.
Jets at Patriots. How about that QB Matt Cassel? When these two teams last met, Cassel was starting his first game in the Post Brady Injury era. Now, it's Week 11 and the division is at stake. The Jets are a hot and cold team --- much like their leader, QB Brett Favre. Which Favre/Jets Team will show up? The one that pummeled the Rams last week? Or the one that lost to Oakland in overtime a few weeks back? I think the Jets will show flashes of both of their personalities tonight. On the other side, the Pats will be efficient as always and maybe give up a big play or two. But I think New England will force Favre into some mistakes and has the offensive horses to squeak by.
Quick college basketball note: UCLA's senior guard Darren Collison is a sight to behold. In the Bruins' first game Wednesday against Prairie View A&M, Collison put up Chris Paul-like numbers: 19 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals. All of that came in only 28 minutes. One sequence against Prairie View went like this: Collison steals the ball. Collison drains a three. Collison steals the ball. That's downright Jordanesque. NBA scouts are drooling.
