- Rutgers suffered an embarrassing 69-38 loss to Cincinnati. The 107 combined points is the most ever scored in a Big East game.
↵ - Syracuse saw its BCS hopes go up in smoke in a listless 23-6 loss to Connecticut. The Orange had zero offense in the game, and the Carrier Dome was emptying out halfway through the fourth quarter. ↵
- The New York Giants meet the Philadelphia Eagles today with first place in the NFC East on the line.

- The New York Jets host the Houston Texans today. The Jets would like to win without having to work overtime for a change. Today, I think they will. ↵
- The New York Knicks completed a highly successful West Coast trip Saturday night with a 124-115 victory over the hapless Los Angeles Clippers. The Knicks won three of four on the trip. ↵
- The New Jersey Nets lost a heartbreaker to Denver, 107-103. ↵
