01/25/2007 - Pullman, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington State has cracked the Top-25, and the 20th-ranked Cougars will play host to the Oregon State Beavers this evening in a Pac-10 tilt.
Oregon State is 0-5 against ranked teams this season, and the squad is just 9-11 overall. On Saturday, the Beavers fell to 1-6 against Pac-10 opponents with a 67-56 loss to Stanford, and while they are now 6-9 at home, they actually own a better record on the road (3-2).
Washington State recently won its first game as a ranked team since 1980, and the club is currently a surprising 16-3 overall, including 5-2 against Pac-10 foes. The Cougars have won five of their last six games, including a 75-47 romp over Washington on Saturday that enabled them to improve to 9-0 at home.
Oregon State owns a 161-111 advantage in the all-time series with Washington State, and the Beavers won both meetings last season.
Marcel Jones has started all 20 games for Oregon State this season and is netting a team-high 16.9 ppg to go along with 6.1 rpg. The only other double-digit scorer in the lineup is Sasa Cuic, as he is posting 13.3 ppg. The Beavers are only generating 66.1 ppg on 42.7 percent shooting from the floor, and they are allowing 68.1 ppg to opponents. In the loss to Stanford on Saturday, Jones scored 20 points to go along with eight rebounds and seven steals. Unfortunately, he got little help from a rather weak supporting cast, and the Beavers shot just 37.7 percent from the field while also suffering a 16-5 disadvantage in points from the foul line. Cuic missed the game because of a bruised left elbow, but he may be able to get back to action tonight.
Derrick Low is the leading scorer for Washington State, as he is scoring 14.6 ppg on 41 percent accuracy from behind the arc. Like Oregon State, the Cougars only have two double-digit scorers on the roster, as Kyle Weaver adds 11.3 ppg to the lineup. WSU is not an explosive offensive team by any means, but the fact that the club has been able to limit opponents to 58.1 ppg on 40.3 percent shooting from the field explains the tremendous success achieved thus far. The Cougars dominated Washington at both ends of the floor on Saturday, as they shot 53.6 percent from the field while limiting the Huskies to 28.3 percent efficiency. Low nailed 5-of-7 three-pointers and finished with 20 points to lead the way in the win, and Weaver hit 7-of-8 shots from the field en route to 17 points.

After all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer.
Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.
Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.
So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.
In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.
For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.
The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’.
The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
