Friday afternoon in the Gator Bowl, legendary Florida State Seminoles head coach Bobby Bowden gets set to patrol the FSU sideline for one last game against the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Not many coaches in any sport have ever been able to achieved iconic status. Bowden certainly has done just that in his years at Florida State, today against his former team he gets one last chance to add to his legacy.

NCAA odds makers are calling the Mountaineers a slight favorite in this one. The spread in Vegas is sitting at less than a field goal. The line is at...

The Texas Tech Red Raiders football coach Mike Leach was fired Wednesday, two days after he was suspended amid allegations he acted improperly in the treatment of injured wide receiver Adam James.

The school handed a termination letter to Leach's attorney, Ted Liggett, just minutes before the two sides were to appear in a Lubbock courtroom for a hearing on the coach's suspension.

According to Liggett, the letter stated...

When the Pittsburgh Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon in Heinz Field, the stakes won't be quite as high as they were the last time these two teams met in the Steel City, but the game is still significant.

Last season, the Steelers and the Ravens met in Heinz Field in the AFC Championship game with Pittsburgh advancing to the Super Bowl, however, right now both teams are fighting for a playoff spot.

NFL odds makers are calling the Steelers a slight favorite in this one on Sunday. The Vegas line is sitting at...

Sunday afternoon the Miami Dolphins head to Nashville needing a win. When they face-off against the Tennessee Titans, Jeff Fisher's group will be thinking the same thing.

Two months ago, there was little to suggest that neither the Dolphins or the Titans would be playoff contenders, but great play and a no-quick attitude has got both teams in the race for a wild-card spot.

NFL odds makers like the Titans as a home favorite in this one. The line in Vegas is sitting at...

According to reports coming out of the Raiders camp, Charlie Frye has been picked by head coach Tom Cable to start at quarterback over former top overall draft pick JaMarcus Russell when Oakland visits the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Cable said Wednesday that Russell will be his No. 2 quarterback, with the newly signed J.P. Losman third now that starter Bruce Gradkowski is done for the season.

Gradkowski led the Raiders to a pair of impressive fourth quarter comebacks against the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers but tore the MCL in both of his knees last week against the...

Monday night in Candlestick Park, the Arizona Cardinals can clinch their second straight NFC West title with a win against the San Francisco 49ers.

When Arizona and San Francisco met in the season opener, the Cardinals' high-powered offense was out of sync and the 49ers' passing game was an afterthought.

NFL odds makers are calling the Cards road favorites coming into this one. The line in Vegas is sitting at...

Sunday afternoon in Arrowhead Stadium, the Kansas City Chiefs get set to host the Buffalo Bills with not much more than pride for both teams to play for.

At 3-9, the Chiefs are out of the playoff race, while the 4-8 Bills may have been mathematically eliminated from the post season yet, realistically they are done as well. But that doesn't mean that this match-up of AFC teams may not be an exciting one. Last season, Buffalo and Kansas City put up some serious offensive numbers in a 54-31 shootout win for the Bills.

NFL odds makers see this one to be pretty close as the line opened at...

Sunday afternoon in the Georgia Dome, the Falcons host the New Orleans Saints in an NFC South match-up that Atlanta needs to win to claw themselves back into the playoff picture.

It won't be easy against the 12-0 Saints. New Orleans clinched the division title and tied a franchise record for wins in a season with a wild comeback last week, beating Washington 33-30 in overtime.

NFL odds makers are calling the Saints heavy road favorites in this one. The spread in Vegas is listed at...

Former Super Bowl star Plaxico Burress wants to get a break from prison, but prosecutors said Tuesday they will likely try to block his bid for work release because he hasn't served enough time.

On November 25th, the former New York Giant applied for a work furlough which would let him spend some portion of his time at home. Burress' request comes about two months into the two-year sentence he received for carrying an unlicensed gun that went off and wounded...

Sunday afternoon in Lucas Oil Stadium, two of the league's best take the field as the 11-0 Indianapolis Colts host the red-hot Tennessee Titans in one of the most anticipated games of the weekend.

Peyton Manning has his Colts on top of the AFC once again after giving way to the defending South Champion Titans in 2008. After a dreadful start to this season Tennessee was expected to pack-it-in for 2009, but they would not go quietly. After an 0-6 start, the Titans have won five straight and find themselves in the middle of the...
