That game is tomorrow night 7pm at the thomas and mack against air force of course the rebels looked good in simons first game a 12 point win over new mexico. They played a lot more loose a lot more free whelling out there and it worked. Not sure whether its the difference in coaching styles or just the fact that they have an interim coach right now that the guys just went out there and let it go but this could be a sign of good things to come now one game does not a trend make, but there were a lot of positive signs on tuesday night well see if the rebels can keep it up sat night against air force. Byu playing last night at gonzaga 6 seconds left cougars by one but zags with the ball listen up to these announcers nats cougars win by 1 6968 they are now 135 on the season. These two teams are the top two teams in the west coast conference so we haven;t seen the last of this battle.

The second game tomorrow green bay at arizona with a 5;15 kickoff the cardinals are now 7 and a half point favorites that number keeps climbing as for the game here on 8 news now tomorrow the patriots are favored but well the early moneys coming on the chiefs and why not because the chiefs are on a winning streak of 11 or 12 games, when you have a team going well a team thats clicking, has confidence the players are going to try to side with that team, but they are playing the patriots ah yes. They are indeed playing the patriots i believe they;re the defending super bowl champs this is always a great weekend for football sports books expect a ton of business we also talked to local have a bet on the kansac city new england game but he likes the chiefs defense to help them cover the spread on this one. kansas citys defense, those corners you can put them on an island, they can cover anybody and their linebackers, theyve got three fast linebackers, they can match up with gronk. Its gonna be a good game, if macklin doesnt play its gonna be tough for kansas city, but 5 and a half points is a lot of team. Like kansas city, but i know better, i dont like to bet against tom brady so that game im just gonna watch. ron futrell l a rams fans got to meet their new hero today their new hero today fans showed up at the Fabulous Forum today former home of the la lakers they wanted to meet stan kronke hes the guy who moved the team from st louis to los angeles of course, the nfl has wanted this move for quite some time now its happening the rams will most likely play in the la collesium for three years, then its sort of interesting in st louis, kronke rarely talked to the media hardley ever hung out with the fans but now hes talking up a storm, shaking hands, meeting and greeting, and even getting emotional talking about the move.
