oming the first Australian to win a womens boxing gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, taking out the lightweight

Each week during the 2016 college football season, I will offer up my selections and scores for the weekends biggest games and a handful of other key matchups.Last year my selections went 104-33 (76 percent) picking straight-up (SU) winners during the regular season and 74-61-2 (55 percent) against the spread (ATS). This year the straight-up record is 56-28 (67 percent), but the ATS record is lagging behind at 35-46-2 (43 percent).Here are this weeks selections.Note: Lines from Westgate SuperBook as of Wednesday morning.Baylor Bears at No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners (-15.5)Saturday, Noon ET, ABC/ESPN2At one point this season Oklahomas record stood at just 2-2, but after the Sooners knocked off TCU on the road, I said they would finish 10-2 and be Big 12 champs -- and Ive stuck with that statement each week. Theyre now 7-2, and headed toward achieving that goal. Last week, they were without both top running backs in Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon, but they should have both back this week. Riley Ridley Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. Riley Ridley Bears Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Jim-Mcmahon-Jersey/ .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?

Mitchell Trubisky Youth Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena.

Embroiled in the Stilnox Six controversy as a junior member of the infamous London 4x100m freestyle relay team. In Rio, McEvoy looks poised to make headlines for all the right reasons. First man to claim the freestyle triple crown at a national titles, winning 100m in the fastest time outside of the supersuit era and third fastest all-time.

However, the real Cate Campbell will step up in Rio. Cate was recovering from major shoulder surgery at the 2015 titles but has reclaimed form that earned her the 2013 100m world title. Cate upstaged Bronte in the 50m and 100m at the Olympic trials, clocking a 100m winning time just 0.31 outside Britta Steffens supersuit world record. The sisters should also inspire the 4x100m freestyle relay team who are Olympic defending champions.Mitch Larkin - (100m, 200m backstroke, 4x100m medley relay):?Unknown before the 2015 world titles, Larkin is now a marked man.

Also set a new 200m world short course record, becoming the first Australian to be named FINA Male Swimmer of the Year.

Broke the Olympic 100m record in London heats but relegated to silver by American nemesis Missy Franklin in the final by just 0.35. Blamed fixation with social media in emotional aftermath. Looks set to exorcise her demons after dominating Olympic trials.AthleticsJared Talent - (20km and 50km walk):?With justice finally served - albeit almost four years too late - Tallent will arrive in Rio as the defending 50km walk champion. Tallent will again contest both Olympic walks, but the longer event is clearly his strong suit.SailingMat Belcher and Will Ryan - (470):?Bidding to make it three gold medals in a row for Australia. Ryan replaced Malcolm Page after London.

But the Australian camp is adamant she will be ready to fire.Annette Edmondson - (track endurance):?Edmondson was world champion last year in the omnium and team pursuit. She was hit by a car in training just before this years worlds and did not win any medals, but should be a strong podium contender in her two events.BoxingShelley Watts - (60kg):?Made history two years ago by becoming the first Australian to win a womens boxing gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, taking out the lightweight division.
