Lens are playing great football this season and are making a strong case for European qualification, maybe even to the Champions League. I think they will be able to handle this road game successfully and come back home with the 3 points.

Last week Villarreal finished with a scoreless tie at home against Espanyol, but this week they get another chance against weak oppenent at home, and I think this time the won't fail.

Schalke comes into this game in 3rd place, with the same points as Bayern and Bremen who are playing each other today. This is a great oppurtunity for Schalke to move up in the standings, perhaps even into 1st place with a tie in Bremen, so I think they will waste no time and score a few times against the weak Hannover defense.

Villa are playing terrific football right now and are the only team in the league not lo lose a game yet. Fullham are weak outside of London so I can't see them taking even a point here.

Sheffield was very lucky to win a point in Manchester last week but today they have an even tougher task as Everton are looking very good specilly at home.

Bochum are terrible, they rank last in the league and last week they lost 6-0 at home to Bremen. Home field and the quality differences should make it an easy game for Dortmund.

Game 7 of the NLCS, The Mets are at home and are on a role after rookie John Maine was able to beat Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter last night in game 6. If the Cards couldn't put the Mets away with Carpenter, there is no reason to beleive they will be able to do it with Jeff Suppan on the mound. Oliver Perez will make the start or the Mets.

Despite the win last week the 49ers are very weak in all aspects of the game. On the other hand San Diego are very strong and should run away from SF in this one.

Miami is really a horroble football team. I can't see them winning a road game against anyone.

It is time for the Lions to win a game, and Buffalo at home is the perfect opportunity.

The Bucs had high expectations coming into this season but it all blew into their faces with an 0-4 start. Cincinnati has a very talanted offense and they will play hard to make the fans forget the big home loss to New England 2 weeks ago.
