<p>Yankees face elimination without A-Rod, Granderson in Game 4 of the ALCS</p> <p>A night of sleep didn't convince Yankees' brass to insert struggling stars <span>Alex Rodriguez</span> and <span>Curtis Granderson</span> into the lineup as the team attempts to avoid a sweep in Game 4 of the ALCS in Detroit (4 PM ET, TBS). </p>
<p>Joe Girardi will trot out the same lineup he originally posted for Game 4 prior to Wednesday night's rainout. Tigers manager Jim Leyland will follow suit.</p>
<p>Yankees' ace <span>CC Sabathia</span> faces off against the Tigers' <span>Max Scherzer</span>, but Wednesday's cancellation could mean that Sabathia won't be able to go in Game 7, should the series get that far. But, that's a problem the Yankees would love to have.</p>
<p>Full lineups are below:</p>
<p><b><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">New York Yankees</a>:</b></p>

<p>Syracuse welcomes Big East rival UConn into the Carrier Dome on Friday night </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/syracuse-orange">Syracuse Orange</a> opens as a 4-point favorite over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/connecticut-huskies">Connecticut Huskies</a>, according to <a href="http://www.oddsshark.com/"><b>OddsShark</b></a>, as the conference foes prepare to do battle this Friday night in the Carrier Dome (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).</p>
<p>Syracuse (2-4, 1-1) is coming off an 8-point loss to undefeated <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/rutgers-scarlet-knights">Rutgers</a> last Saturday in New Jersey. Meanwhile, UConn (3-4, 0-2) looks to get back on track after suffering back-to-back conference losses. In last week's game the Huskies blew a 14-0 first quarter lead and lost 17-14 to Big East newbie <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/temple-owls">Temple</a>. Two weeks prior, Rutgers manhandled UConn, 19-3.</p>
<p>UConn took last year's match up 28-21 in East Hartford behind 152 yards on the ground from freshman running back <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113330/lyle-mccombs" class="sbn-auto-link">Lyle McCombs</a>.</p>
<p>The total for Friday night's Big East clash is 43.5 points, and could prove to be a defensive battle as Syracuse ranks 96th (of FBS schools) in scoring while UConn ranks 111th.</p>
<p>Despite its low output, Syracuse has shown off an explosive offense at times behind quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37776/ryan-nassib" class="sbn-auto-link">Ryan Nassib</a> and play making wide receiver <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37778/marcus-sales" class="sbn-auto-link">Marcus Sales</a>. The Orange have put up 318 yards per game through the air, which is 11th-best in the nation.</p>

<p>Rutgers hopes to improve to 7-0 as the Scarlet Knights travel to Philadelphia to face Temple on Saturday</p> <p>The No. 15 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/rutgers-scarlet-knights">Rutgers Scarlet Knights</a> open as a 5.5 point favorite, according to<a href="http://www.oddsshark.com/"><b> OddsShark</b></a>, as they prepare to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/temple-owls">Temple Owls</a> at Lincoln Financial Field this Saturday (12 p.m. ET, Big East Network).</p>
<p>Last week, the Scarlet Knights improved their record to 6-0 (3-0 Big East) with an 8-point win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/syracuse-orange">Syracuse Orange</a> in New Jersey. Meanwhile, Temple (3-2, 2-0 Big East) manufactured a 17-14 overtime comeback win over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/connecticut-huskies">Connecticut Huskies</a>.</p>
<p>The total for this Saturday's match up is 41.5, with Rutgers averaging 25 points per game and Temple averaging 27 points. Rutgers defense ranks third among FBS schools, allowing just 11.5 points per game and hasn't allowed an opponent to score more than 15 points in its first three conference games this season.</p>
<p>In its first season back in the Big East, Temple will look to announce its presence in the conference with a statement victory over the undefeated Scarlet Knights. The winner of Saturday's contest will stand alone in first place in the Big East standings.</p>

<p>The New York Jets play host to the Indianapolis Colts as 3.5 point favorites this Sunday.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">New York Jets</a> open as 3.5 point favorites at home over the <a href="https://www.stampedeblue.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Indianapolis Colts</a>. The Jets enter Week 6 at 2-3 following a hard-fought 23-17 loss to the <a href="https://www.battleredblog.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Houston Texans</a> on Monday Night Football. Behind rookie quarterback <span>Andrew Luck</span>, the Colts overcame an 18 point halftime deficit to beat the <a href="https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Green Bay Packers</a> in Week 5 and improve to 2-2.</p>
<p>The total for the match up between the Jets and Colts is 43, and features much-maligned Jets quarterback <span>Mark Sanchez</span> who is relying on backup receivers following the loss of <span>Santonio Holmes</span> to a season-ending foot injury. Sanchez has completed fewer than half of his throws in four straight games and continues to deal with the looming presence of <span>Tim Tebow</span>. Meanwhile, the Jets have managed just one offensive touchdown in the past two games, both losses.</p>
<p>Yet the greatest obstacle facing the Jets this week might be their extensive injury report which featured 19 players including <span>Bart Scott</span> (toe), <span>Dustin Keller</span> (hamstring), <span>Sione Pouha</span> (back) and <span>Bryan Thomas</span> (hamstring).</p>
<p>The Colts put forth a heroic effort in the second half on Sunday led by Luck and <span>Reggie Wayne</span> who hauled in 13 passes for 212 yards and the game-winning touchdown. The Colts will be looking for a repeat performance this Sunday against a depleted Jets team.</p>
