There are professional sports franchises that will spare no cost to win. The New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys come to mind. Then there are those franchises that appear to care only about the bottom line. Enter the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals, who have star receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh ready to bolt for free agency, have used their franchise tag on kicker Shayne Graham. That gives the eight-year veteran the... Read more

Big East powers collide tonight when Pittsburgh (23-2 SU, 12-6-1 ATS), formerly the #1-ranked team in the nation, visits Connecticut (24-1 SU, 10-9 ATS), the current #1 team in the country.
