ARENA FOOTBALL
San Jose at Orlando
  This week's FREE Arena Football FoxSheet of the week highlights the showdown in Florida between two of the league's preseason favorites for the Arena Bowl title, San Jose and Orlando. Unfortunately for fans of the Sabercats, the defending champs have looked nothing close to championship caliber so far in 2005. Currently, San Jose is just 1-3 SU & ATS and in danger of falling out of the race for the Western Division title early in the season. The ironic thing is they are the only one of the four division teams that is outscoring its opponents, and their 57.3 PPG is very comparable to a year ago. Orlando, meanwhile, has remained amongst the AFL's best teams after five weeks, going 4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS.

  The Predators have done it with defense though, as they currently hold opponents to just 39.8 PPG, best in the league. Therefore, it will be a clash of styles on Sunday in downtown Orlando. Which will win out? Orlando has been tabbed as a slight favorite of 1-1/2 points.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Illinois at Ohio State

  ILLINOIS TRIES TO COMPLETE A PERFECT 30-0 REGULAR SEASON A perfect regular season hangs in the balance as Illinois travels to one of the tougher venues in the Big Ten to try and finish off the remarkable accomplishment. This historic game is the FREE College Basketball FoxSheet of the Week! The Illini's season has been storybook, matched only by the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers, college basketball's last unbeaten team. Illinois has only seemed to get better in recent weeks as the pressure has mounted, winning its last four games by an average of 25 PPG while going 4-0 ATS. Overall on the road this year, the Illini is 9-0 SU & 6-3 ATS. Standing in their way of perfection on Saturday is Ohio State, who is tournament ineligible this year but still playing strong basketball. Stopping the Illini's run could make for a suitable substitute for postseason play in the minds of these Buckeyes. Their 18-11 overall record includes an impressive mark of 14-2 SU & 10-4 ATS at home. They are outscoring the opposition by 15.9 PPG in Columbus and could make things tough on Illinois if the latter is not at the top of its game. Be sure to get a headstart on this game with all the key handicapping information by visiting our FREE College Basketball FoxSheet of the week before Saturday afternoon. Tip off for this Big-time Big Ten showdown is set for 12:15 PM ET.

PRO BASKETBALL
Philadelphia at Atlanta

  The league's worst team comes home off a seven game grueling road trip in which it failed to even win a single game. Can the home cooking help the struggling Hawks when they host the 76ers on Saturday? Perhaps. Use this week's FREE NBA FoxSheet to help you capitalize on this Eastern Conference matchup. With a record of 10-47, Atlanta is currently the NBA's worst team, and it really hasn't matter who it has played since the mark against the lesser Eastern Conference is just 6-27 SU & 11-22 ATS. The reward for the Hawks' misery will hopefully come in May at the league's draft lottery. In the meantime though, they'll continue to press on, starting Saturday night against Philadelphia. The 76ers find themselves in the midst of the race for the Atlantic Division title despite being under .500. They had hoped the trade deadline deal obtaining Chris Webber from Sacramento would make the difference, but thus far, that has not been the case. There is a chance for a surge though, as starting with the game vs the Hawks, the 76ers play foru of their next five games against teams with a losing record. Perhaps this contest will jump start them. Be sure to check in on the FREE NBA FoxSheet before making any moves on this game. Tip off is scheduled for 7:05 PM Et on Saturday evening.
