Preview Seattle Seahawks at Las Vegas

The Seattle Seahawks are 6.5 favorites 

against the Raiders on Sunday. It will

be the first match up between both

teams since Klint Kubiak became the 
Raiders head coach.

The Raiders are near bottom of the

 NFL in rushing this season. The

Raiders will be starting rookie 

quarterback  Fernando Mendoza 

in his first start. The traded Kirk

Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Seahawks will plan to put the 

Raiders in situation where it will

be third and long to pressure Mendoza

to making mistakes.

Drew Lock will start again although 

his health isn't good right now. 

Depending how he performs this

Sunday could put in the conversation 

who should be starting the rest of

the season.  Darnold has one year

after this on his contract. Drew Lock 

will become a unrestricted free agent 

in March 2027. See if the Seahawks 

extend him.

Rasheed Shaheed is expected to return 

this Sunday. See how much playing time

he gets.  Go Hawks.

Preview Washington Huskies at Michigan State

The Washington Huskies are four point 

favorites at Michigan State this coming

Saturday.   The Huskies have a 5-4 overall 

record with 2-4 in Big Ten. It will be important 

that the Huskies win to go to a bowl game.

The Huskies final two games against Indiana

next week at home and Oregon on the road.

Both games would be upsets if the Huskies

are two win.

Michigan State is 1-5 in the Big Ten and at

the bottom of the conference and 3-6 overall.

The Spartans only Big Ten win was over arch

rival 15-6 last week. They are averaging  19.3

points per game while their opponent is at 

23.6 points.  They lost six games in a row

before beating Michigan. The closest losses

were to Illinois by one point and three against

Northwestern. The other losses weren't close.

The Spartans total offense is 293.1 yards 

per game while the Huskies are at 364. 4

per game.  The Huskies are averaging 26.3

points per game while giving up 21.9. Alessio 

Milivojevic is the Spartans starting quarterback,

passing for 1451 yards, 7 touchdowns and 

three interceptions.  Huskies quarterback 

Desmond Williams Jr.  has 1667 yards, 11

touchdowns and four interceptions and both

have played eight games. Desmond though

is listed as questionable for this game so

we could see Isiah Brown starting.

Jaziun Patterson is the Spartans leading

rusher with 327 yards and five touchdowns.

He is listed as being doubtful for this game.

Washington Huskies leading rusher is Brian

Bonner Jr. 328 yards and 1 touchdown. He is 

expected to play however fellow running 

back Trey Cooley is listed as doubtful as

he had a concussion against Penn State.

Chrison McCray is the Spartans leading 

receiver with 35 catches for 381 yards 

and 1 touchdown.  Fellow receiver Rodney

Bullard Jr has been ruled out as he was 

injured against Michigan. Chris Lawson 

is the Huskies top receiver with 49 catches

for 727 yards and 3 touchdowns. He had 

his top game in the win over Nebraska.

On defense the Spartans top tackler is

Devin Vaught a safety is ruled out after

getting hurt against Michigan. Huskies

safety and top tackler Alex McLaughlin 

is listed as questionable. Both these

guys will be tough to replace and Alex

McLaughlin for the Huskies for sure.

The Huskies have several other defensive 

players that might be out too.

News came out Thursday that Husky Stadium 

will have a new name in 2027 in Columbia 

Bank Stadium. The world of  College football 

not being a big surprise. 

Go Dawgs. 

Carolina Hurricanes and Seattle Kraken in Finland

The Carolina Hurricanes have a 14-3-2 record on

the season right now while the Kraken are 9-6-1

on the season play Thursday at 9 am Pacific

Standard Time and Saturday 10 am.

The Hurricanes should be favored in this

mstchup. We should see how the Kraken

can. The two games are in Helsinki Finland.

The Hurricanes have three players from

Finland while the Kraken. We will have to

see how much playing time they  get. 

Last week the Kraken split their two games.

Last Wednesday November 4 the Kraken

beat the Calgary Flames in overtime 2-1.

The Kraken are 3-1 against the Flames.

Last Saturday they lost to the NY Rangers 

at home 4-3.  

They return home for a match against 

Vancouver Cannucks next Thursday 

and at San Jose Sharks on Saturday.

They finish November with four games 

Three will be in Seattle. Go Kraken. 

Preview Colorado St. at Washington State

The Washington State Cougars have two 

games left on their football schedule.

Neither team has had a winning record 

on the season.

I was surprised that the Cougars are

favored by 9.5 points. The Cougars 

are  1-8 on the season and haven't 

won a game in Pac-12 this season. 

Colorado State is 3-6 on the season 

while being 1-4 in the Pac-12.  The one 

win happened on October 24 when they

beat San Diego State 56-40.

The Rams are ranked #20 in the country

averaging 35.8 points a game while dead

last nationally giving up 44.8 points and 

528.3 yards.  The Rams quarterback is

Hauss Hejny and he has passed for 1391

yards, 16 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.

Also has ran for three touchdowns as well.

Mel Brown the Rams number one running 

back missed last weeks game and is 

questionable for the Cougars game. Oliver

Lundberg Coleman made his first career 

start last week. He was the Rams third 

running back. He has rushed 27 times on

the season and last week nine times for

36 yards and had a 9 yard touchdown in

the first quarter. 

Reginald Vick is the Rams top receiver making

32 catches for 463 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Terrence Smith Jr is the second receiver

with 28 catches for 369 yards and 4  tds as

well. Jackson Harper is the slot receiver with 

27 catches for 351 yards and 2 touchdowns

so all three contribute. 

Juice Vereen is the number one tight  end.

He has 17 catches for 117 yards however

he is questionable against the Cougars.

This will be the 4th start when Owen Eshleman 

took over as the starting quarterback for the Cougars. He has done well though they

haven't won a game yet and we hope

this will be the one. The biggest issue is

Owen has been the primary runner for the

Cougars. Otherwords he has been the offense

on almost every play. Playing Colorado State 

the running backs will be able to get more

yards on the ground. Go Cougs. 

Duquesne Comeback Beat WSU Tuesday Night

The Washington State Cougars men's basketball 

team led most of Tuesday night game but lost

in the end 72-71 on the road. Earlier in the football 

season the Cougars won big so would think

this is a big deal for the college for them to

comeback and win.

The Cougars were leading 62-51 at 8 :37 

left on the game making they should wi

The Dukes made their move and at 2: 13

tied 69-69.  At 32 seconds Sebastian Adkins 

made a shot for the Cougars making it a

two point lead. At 12 seconds Karem Konan

made a layin and was fouled. He made the

foul shot for the win. Lazerek Houston went

for a shot with two seconds however missed it.

The Dukes are now 3-0 on the season while

the Cougars are 0-3. Both teams shot well 

behind the 3 point line. The Cougars made 

seven more three pointers however the Dukes

made ten more free throws.

Konan and Josh Smith who came off the 

bench each had 13 points for the Dukes.

They had three others that did too. The

 Cougars were led by freshman Jaylen Harrell 

with 19 points.  He made 7 out of 10 from

the field including 3 three pointers. Add a 

a couple free throws. Houston was next with

12 points. Shows the Cougars need how

to put a team away.

Next game on  Saturday at home against 

Northwest University. 

Where Randy Arozarena Go

We have come to the point knowing that

Randy Arozarena won't return to the Mariners 

and will sign as a free agent. As far as hitter

goes he is at the top of the list.  The Mariners 

could sign him as a free agent. The money

they save on Luis Castillo trade for a couple 

years remaining plus what he was paid for

the last couple years would cover it.

The Mariners have other issues on the team

plus how he got in the clubhouse with other 

players could be the reason for him not to

return. He might want to go to another team

that might have a better chance to make

the World Series and at the same time fit

in better.

I saw on social media that the Baltimore Orioles 

are interested in signing him. There could be

others in the American League East that might

as well. Will he sign as a dh only or still want 

to play in the field too. The dollars may  decide

the amount as well. When the Mariners were in

Boston playing the Red Sox could be another

suiter  as well.   Even if he plays the outfield 

now depending on the length of the contract 

he will be a dh more in the last years. 

News is showing that  JP Crawford won't 

return. A good idea or not.  At the current 

point the Mariners don't have a third baseman 

unless Brendan Donovan is considered the guy.

He is the one right now however picking up 

someone in a trade would be nice. The Mariners 

are looking for a right handed bat so would

that be the best for the Mariners at third base 

too.

The major league baseball general managers

meeting happening right now. Will the Mariners 

mske a trade. The meeting is over Thursday.

Will they announce another coach this week?

Stay tuned on the Mariners.  

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Monday Night

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team 

beat Mississippi Valley State at home 77-64.

The Huskies took it easy however Mississippi 

Valley State didi make it competitive though. 

The Huskies haven't been a great three point 

shooting team but right now it seems they 

will be a better one. Who they play will decide 

how often they will take threes. They tied

a team record making 17 3s  out of 50 attempts.

The Huskies had three players who scored in

double figures and did the most from 3 pt line.

Parker Freidrichsen led the Huskies with 17

points off the bench. He made 5 of 11 in 3s.

Ryan Beasley had 16 making 4 of 9 in 3s and

Steele Venters  had 15 going 5 of 13 in 3s.

Beasley and Venters both started. 

Mississippi Valley State stayed in the game

because scoring 15 more points at the foul

line. This means Huskies have to cut down 

on fouls and take more at the same time.

The Huskies dominated in rebounds with

47 to 24 by MVS. 

The Huskies next game is this coming

Saturday at Utah. This should be a harder

opponent and how good the Huskies are.

They are 2-0 and play Weber State Tuesday 

before facing the Huskies. Go Dawgs.
