Interesting Match-Ups This Weekend

Game of the Weekend: SF Giants @ Ph Phillies 4:30 PM
        Tim Lincecum vs. Roy Halladay - The Freak vs. the pitcher of the decade, this should be a classic.

Other Intriguing Match-ups:

College Football
        No. 12 Arkansas @ No. 7 Auburn & No. 15 Iowa @ Michigan - both @ 12:30 PM - Auburn (6-0), is the surprise in the SEC led by star QB Cam Newton.  And Michigan (5-1) is led by the laceless wonder, QB Dennard Robinson.  Each are neck & neck in the Heisman race.  Big wins this weekend can further either's case.

        No. 1 Ohio State @ No. 18 Wisconsin - 4:00 PM - Big Ten ball is boring.  But check in for updates and hope for a Wisconsin upset severely hurting OSU's title shot.  A favor we'd all be thankful for.

        No. 24 Oregon State @ Washington - 7:15 PM - For my fellow dawgs out there, this game will determine whether UW will make a bowl for the first time since 2002.

NFL
        Seattle @ Chicago - 10:00 AM - I'll be at this one repping the Hawks.  We'll see what soldier field will throw at us.  Plus Marshawn Lynch's first game and the first full game of LT Russell Okung.  And he'll be thrown directly into the fire matching up against all-world DE Julius Peppers.

        Baltimore @ New England - 10:00 AM - Justin Bieber, I mean Tom Brady vs. Ray Lewis, enough said.

        Cleveland @ Pittsburgh - 10:00 AM - Aside from the return of fratboy Ben, with injuries to Jake Delhomme & Seneca Wallace, Colt McCoy is slated to start his first NFL game vs. the vaunted Steelers defense (who's nickname should be "The Dreaded Locks" thoughts?).  This one has massacre written all over it.  Think Custard vs. the Indians.

        Oakland @ San Francisco - 1:00 PM - Battle of the Bay.  I'm just interested to see if NFC West Rival SF drops to 0-6.  Assuming they do, cast your vote on who will beat the Niners: the Raiders, Alex Smith, or Mike Singletary.

        Dallas @ Minnesota - 1:15 PM - Once Super Bowl hyped, now cellar dwelling, each is 1-3 and one will fall to 1-4 and out of relevance.
