Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ UC Bearcats -- Football
Kickoff: 11/17, noon
UC: 7-2 (3-1 Big East), on a two-game winning streak
Rutgers: 8-1 (4-0 Big East), lost first game three weeks ago against Kent State
Game notes: With three Big East games left, Rutgers sits atop the conference and could be dethroned with a Cincinnati upset. The Bearcats currently sit in third place in the Big East behind 4-1 Louisville, who are on bye this week.
Robert Morris Colonials @ Xavier Musketeers -- Basketball
Tip-off: 11/17, 2 p.m.
Xavier: 2-0
Robert Morris: 1-2, big losses to the Rider Broncos on 11/9 and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks on Nov. 12, but defeated Fordham (an Atlantic 10 team, same conference as Xavier) 74-58 on 11/13.
Game notes: After handing it to Butler on Tuesday, most Muskie fans are probably overlooking this game. The Colonials got off to a rocky start, but a win against an A-10 team, even a basement A-10 team, tells Coach Chris Mack and Xavier that Robert Morris is quite capable of the upset.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs
Kickoff: 11/18, 1 p.m.
Cincinnati: 4-5 (1-3 in AFC North, 3rd place)
Kansas City: 1-8 (0-6 in AFC West, last place)
Game notes: If ever there was a should, must, have-to-for-the-sake-of-our-dignity win for Cincinnati, it's against the Chiefs this weekend. Don't get too cocky, though, as the Chiefs almost pulled off the upset against the Steelers at Heinz Field last week, showing they're a team desperate for a win. The Chiefs turn the ball over like crazy, so look for the Bengals' defense to make some big plays with Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel under center.
North Carolina A&T Aggies @ #24 UC Bearcats -- Basketball
Tip-off: 11/18, 2 p.m.
UC: 2-0
North Carolina A&T: 1-1, plays Wright State on 11/16, lost 64-55 to Utah Valley on 11/12
Game notes: Another "tune-up game" for the Bearcats, UC shouldn't struggle much against a team who lost by nine to the mighty Wolverines--the Utah Valley Wolverines, that is.
Miami RedHawks @ #2 Louisville Cardinals -- Basketball
Tip-off: 11/18, 4 p.m.
Miami: 1-1, lost to #6 North Carolina State on 11/9, then defeated Grambling State 80-54 on 11/13.
Game notes: Should be a blowout in the 'Ville, but you never know. May just be worth a watch.
