Not every compelling race has to include the best competitors. Cheap Jack Cichy Jersey . That is the case with the NHLs Atlantic Division this season.Of the eight teams, only the Montreal Canadiens have a positive goal differential, and none of them have won more than half of their past 10 games. But the difference between second place and last is only eight points in the standings, which not only sets up for some excitement down the stretch, it also gives each team hope for a postseason berth.One key injury or trade could swing the division, but if the teams remain mostly as they are in late December, how will it all play out? Lets have a look at which direction the stats are pointing us and project the order of finish for all eight teams: Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys Authentic . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys . Pedro scored from a pass by Lionel Messi in the 33rd minute and added two more goals in the 47th and 72nd after Valdes saved his second penalty in four days following his stop in Wednesdays 4-0 over Ajax in the Champions League. http://www.cheapbuccaneersjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-m-j-stewart-jersey .

Lamar Jackson and No. 3 Louisville go from playing the main event last week to the side stage this week.The Cardinals head to Marshall after jumping into the national title race by tearing up Florida State at home last week. Louisville certainly isnt the first team to play a huge game and then hit the road to play a lesser opponent, but it is not too often you see a team in a Power Five conference go from hosting GameDay to playing at a Group of Five school a week later.Jackson and the Cardinals are talented enough to avoid a letdown, but it should be interesting to see how they respond to being the hunted in Huntington, W.Va., where a salty crowd should be revved up for an 8 p.m. kickoff at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. CBS Sports Network is airing the game.At No. 3, Louisville matches the highest ranking of any team to visit the Thundering Herd. Marshall has just two victories against ranked teams since joining FBS in 1997, the last in 2003 when the Herd beat No. 6 Kansas State. More relevant, Marshall is coming off a 65-38 loss to Akron. So it should be another stat-padding game for Jackson.No. 13 Florida State faces a similar and likely more challenging road test Saturday. The Seminoles play unbeaten South Florida from the American Athletic Conference in Tampa.The showcase games Saturday are mostly in the Southeastern Conference, with three matchups of ranked teams, and over in the Big Ten where No. 11 Wisconsin faces No. 8 Michigan State.The picks:MarshallTHURSDAY NIGHT MADNESSNo. 5 Clemson (minus 9+) at Georgia TechThe Tigers have won three of the last five, but the Yellow Jackets have scored at least 24 points in each game and averaged 29 ...
