The Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets hope to begin turning around their dismal seasons when they meet Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.

The Bengals (1-4) have lost four straight, including a disappointing 27-20 loss at Kansas City last weekend coming off their bye week. Cincinnati is mired in last place in the AFC North, a division they won in 2005 before missing the playoffs last year.

It’s also the first four-game skid for Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, who claims he is not feeling any pressure for the poor start. Cincinnati is on its longest slide since a six-game losing streak from Nov. 10-Dec. 15, 2002, the season before Lewis was hired.

“I guess I’ll disappoint the fans if they think there’s heat,” Lewis said. “My only heat is internal and that’s what drives me. That’s the good thing, I guess, about this position. I’m not going to get concerned.

“Our margin for error is tight. That’s the result of being 1-4. That’s what we need to realize. Every play right now, we’re not getting the benefit of the doubt. Balls are not really bouncing our way. That’s what we need to realize and keep doing things the right way. Building upon the positive things and making corrections when it’s not as positive and correct.”

One of the problems Cincinnati has faced is a slew of injuries, including to star running back Rudi Johnson (hamstring). He sat out a 34-13 loss to New England on Oct. 1, and had only four carries against the Chiefs. Johnson has 185 rushing yards on 62 carries and just one touchdown catch.

Right tackle Willie Anderson missed last week’s loss with foot and knee injuries. The offensive line has used four different combinations in Cincinnati’s first five games.

The lack of a productive running game has put pressure on quarterback Carson Palmer and receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who have combined for 1,083 yards and 10 of Cincinnati’s 13 offensive touchdowns. Houshmandzadeh has seven of those scores, two shy of his career-best set in 14 games last season.

New York (1-5) enters on a three-game losing streak, and quarterback Chad Pennington has taken the brunt of the blame. Pennington has thrown all six of his interceptions this season during the skid, including one in a 16-9 loss to Philadelphia last week - the first time the Jets failed to reach the end zone this year.

With fans and media clamoring for backup Kellen Clemens to be inserted, coach Eric Mangini is sticking with Pennington.

“There’s a lot of different areas that need to get better: interceptions, tackling, run fits, all those things, coaching, strategy,” Mangini said. “All those things need to improve and we’re all in this together. It’s not a one-person issue.”

Pennington completed a season-low 11 of 21 passes for 128 yards in last week’s loss as the Jets’ offense stalled despite a season-high 130 yards rushing from Thomas Jones. Tight end Chris Baker also criticized New York’s play-calling, but receiver Jerricho Cotchery backed Pennington.

“He’s our leader,” Cotchery said. “He’s the leader of this team, not only on offense. One guy isn’t going to create a spark because each individual has to create that spark within himself to help this team out. I think that’s kind of a sensitive topic because everyone loves Chad in this building.”

Jones’ effort was a bright spot. Acquired from Chicago in the offseason, he is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry on the road.

The Jets’ defense also ranks among the bottom five teams in the NFL with six sacks and two forced fumbles.

New York has won five straight against Cincinnati, including a 31-24 victory on Sept. 12, 2004 in the last meeting.

NOTE: Cincy’s year for all practical purposes ended last week in K.C. and the Jets have been abismal. Yet someone has to lose this game. Everyone has been able to run against the Bengals, yet the Jets are no major threat in the running game even though Thomas Jones have over 100 yards last week vs the Eagles. No question I have the better QB here in Palmer with his go to guy in Chad Johnson. IF the Bengals lose this one AT HOME, this franchise and the fans of Cincy will witness a bigger melt down than Chernobyl.

I’m on the Bengals only for action at -6 Good Luck,

Tommy Mac

GAME NOTES: The 22nd-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders bring their high-flying act to Columbia to take on the 15th-ranked Missouri Tigers in what should be a thrilling Big 12 Conference affair. Texas Tech has won three straight to move to 6-1 on the year. Last week’s 35-7 pasting of rival Texas A&M earned the Red Raiders their first national ranking since late 2005, and marks the team’s 15th straight season in which it will participate in a bowl game. Tech is 2-1 in conference play and its only loss of the season came on the road at Oklahoma State on September 22nd. As for Missouri, it suffered its first loss of the campaign last weekend, falling to Big 12 bully Oklahoma, 41-31, in Norman. The setback means the Tigers are now 1-1 in conference. They are however, unbeaten at home this season (3-0) and are a stellar 22-6 in Columbia since the 2003 season. Texas Tech is the third straight ranked foe Mizzou has faced. The Red Raiders and Tigers have met just six times previously, with the latter holding a 4-2 series advantage. Missouri has won four of the five meetings since the formation of the Big 12, including a 38-21 decision in Lubbock last season.

Boasting the nation’s most prolific passing attack, the Red Raiders come into this contest looking to make a statement. Led by QB Graham Harrell, Texas Tech is averaging 50 points and 582 yards of total offense per game. Harrell has completed an eye-popping 74.4 percent of his passes and is averaging 450 ypg through the air. He has 31 TD passes against only three INTs — all remarkable stats considering how often coach Mike Leach has Harrell looking downfield. As a result of Harrell’s exploits, Michael Crabtree has taken his game to another level as evidenced by his 78 receptions, 1,244 yards and 17 TDs in just seven games. Danny Amendola has also benefitted from the pass-happy attack, hauling in 60 balls for 755 yards and five scores. When Tech decides to keep the ball on the ground, it is Shannon Woods who gets the call most often, and he has responded with 409 yards and eight TDs, averaging a robust 5.5 ypc along the way. Harrell threw for 425 yards and three TDs while rushing for another score in last week’s dismantling of Texas A&M. Crabtree finished with eight receptions for 170 yards, but was held without a TD catch for the first time this season. Helping the cause, Woods rumbled his way to 93 yards and a score.

Texas A&M gained 366 yards in last week’s clash, including 233 on the ground. The Aggies averaged 5.4 yards per rushing attempt, clearly taking advantage of Texas Tech’s front line. Still, the Red Raiders allowed just 133 yards passing and held TAMU to just a 5-of-13 success rate on third down. Joe Garcia led the Tech stand with 11 tackles, while Darcel McBath was hot on his heels with 10. The Red Raiders failed to log a sack in the game and came up with just one turnover. So far this season, opponents have been rather balanced in their approach to attacking the Texas Tech defense, rushing for 163.3 ypg and passing for 178.6 ypg. Garcia is the team’s top tackler, having logged 43 stops to this point, while Marlon Williams and Paul Williams are just off the pace with 42 and 41 stops, respectively. With just 15 sacks and 12 takeaways, the Tech defense is rather average in terms of big-play ability. Jamar Wall has three of the team’s six interceptions.

While Harrell is arguably the nation’s top signal caller, Missouri’s Chase Daniel can certainly hold his own. Daniel comes into this contest ranked fifth in the country in total offense (376.7 ypg), and he is hitting 68.9 percent of his passes for 345.5 ypg with 16 TDs against just six INTs. Martin Rucker is the team’s leading pass catcher (44 receptions, 474 yards, three TDs), and Chase Coffman (34 receptions, 341 yards, three TDs) is enjoying a solid season as well despite starting just once in six games. The Tigers held a narrow lead over Oklahoma in the fourth quarter of last week’s Big 12 tilt, but a costly turnover gave the Sooners the momentum they would need to post the 10-point victory. Daniel was highly efficient in completing 37-of-47 passes for 361 yards and a TD, but two picks proved costly. Coffman led all receivers with 10 grabs for 102 yards, and the Mizzou ground assault managed just 57 net yards, with Jeremy Maclin leading the way with 32 yards on just four totes. He did score a pair of TDs, however, to help keep the Tigers in contention.

The Missouri defense held the Sooners to 118 yards rushing last week, but three TDs on the ground helped power Oklahoma to victory. Mizzou defenders pounced on two fumbles, but the Sooners were successful on 10 of their 14 third-down conversion attempts and scored on all five trips to the red zone. Mizzou’s Brock Christopher and Sean Weatherspoon both tallied double-digit stops in the contest with 12 and 10, respectively, and the two currently rank sit atop the team’s tackles chart for the season. Christopher is tied for the club lead in TFLs with five, while Weatherspoon has posted 57 total stops and has broken up four passes. Foes are putting up 24.5 ppg behind 403.2 total ypg this year, with the pass being their most productive mode of attack (265.3 ypg).

Philadelphia, PA - Kyle Kendrick tossed seven quality innings, as the Philadelphia Phillies completed a three- game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 5-1 win at Citizens Bank Park.

Kendrick (5-1) — a rookie right-hander — allowed one run on six hits while striking out four and walking one for the Phillies, who have won eight of their last nine to assume second place in the NL East behind the New York Mets. The Mets won a rain-shortened game against the Nationals on Sunday to remain 3 1/2 games ahead of the Phillies for the division lead.

Jimmy Rollins went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, and Chris Coste knocked in a pair of runs in a pinch-hit appearance.

Ian Snell (7-9) yielded three runs over six innings to take the loss for Pittsburgh, which has dropped six of seven. Nate McLouth homered in a losing effort.

Philadelphia opened up the scoring in the first, as newly-acquired Tadahito Iguchi doubled, moved to third on a Rollins base hit, then scored when Snell uncorked a wild pitch.

The Phillies increased their lead to 2-0 in the third on a one-out double to left by Aaron Rowand that brought in Rollins.

Rollins continued his hot day at the plate in the fifth with a leadoff triple, setting the table for Ryan Howard. The reigning NL MVP cashed in with a sacrifice fly to extend his team’s advantage to three runs.

The Pirates got on the board in the sixth courtesy of McLouth’s leadoff homer.

That was all the damage that Kendrick allowed, however, before handing the ball off to Ryan Madson in the eighth. Madson was forced to leave after two- thirds of an inning with a right shoulder strain, giving way to Antonio Alfonseca, who recorded the final out to keep the Pirates at arm’s length.

The Phillies cushioned their lead in the eighth thanks to Coste’s bases-loaded single that brought in a pair, and Jose Mesa worked the ninth to preserve the win.

Game Notes

Coste was coming off a career-high four RBI performance against the Pirates on Saturday…Iguchi was acquired from the White Sox on Friday for a minor- leaguer and is playing in place of the injured Chase Utley…Snell has lost his last four starts.

Kansas City, MO - Mark Grudzielanek had three hits, drove in a run, and scored a run, as the Kansas City Royals kicked off a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium against the Texas Rangers with a 6-1 victory.

TOMMY MAC DELIVERS ANOTHER WINNING PIZZA PLAY ROYALS!

Billy Butler homered for the Royals, who won their second straight. Ross Gload went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the win.

Brian Bannister (7-6) scattered four hits with six strikeouts and two walks over seven innings for KC. The rookie right-hander has won his last two starts, scattering eight hits and just one run in 14 innings.

Sammy Sosa homered for the Rangers, who had a four-game winning streak snapped. He recorded the only Texas run, and was the lone Ranger with two hits.

Jamey Wright (3-3), who posted back-to-back wins for Texas before control problems plagued him the last time out, allowed five runs on 10 hits with four walks and two strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings.

Kansas City plated three runs in the first when Grudzielanek singled, Mark Teahen walked, and Butler belted a three-run homer to center field on a 1-2 pitch.

The Royals scored another run in the third, as Teahen doubled, advanced to third on Butler’s groundout, and came home on a Gload sacrifice fly.

The Royals tacked on one more in the seventh, as John Buck lined a lead-off single and Tony Pena bunted him over to second. David DeJesus was then intentionally walked, and Grudzielanek singled home Buck.

Texas got on the board in the eighth off reliever Joakim Soria, who surrendered a solo shot to Sosa on a full count.

Kansas City, however, padded its lead with another run off reliever Scott Feldman. Gload singled, advanced to second on a balk, and, after a 37-minute rain delay, scored on an Alex Gordon double.

Game Notes

Bannister retired seven straight batters after Sosa’s third-inning single…Texas recalled outfielder Nelson Cruz from Triple-A Oklahoma…This series marks the first meeting between the Royals and Rangers in 2007. Both clubs split six games last year.

The Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals are both at the bottom of their respective divisions, but the Rangers haven’t been playing like a last-place team lately.

Texas looks to win a season-high five straight games when it opens a three-game series at Kansas City on Friday night.

The Rangers (46-56) capped a four-game sweep over Seattle with a 7-6 victory on Wednesday. Ramon Vazquez hit a go-ahead, two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning off All-Star closer J.J. Putz, who had converted a majors-best 31 straight save chances.

The Rangers own the third-worst record in the AL, and are 13 games out of first in the AL West, but have won eight of their last 12. They have not won five in a row since Aug. 9-13 of last season.

Young is batting .472 (17-for-36) with five doubles in his last nine games, and is hitting .395 (30-for-76) with two home runs, five doubles and eight RBIs in 16 games against Kansas City since 2005.

The Rangers and Royals split their six games last season, but Texas has won 10 of its last 14 games at Kauffman Stadium.

Jamey Wright (3-2, 4.15 ERA) looks to keep the Rangers’ winning streak intact when he takes the hill Friday.

Wright had control problems the last time he took the mound, as gave up three runs, one hit, six walks and hit a batter in just 3 1-3 innings of an 8-5 win over Cleveland on Saturday. The right-hander had gone 3-1 with a 2.28 ERA in his previous four starts.

Wright, who pitched for the Royals in 2003, hasn’t faced them since 2001. He is 2-0 with a 1.88 ERA in three career starts against Kansas City.

The Royals (44-57) defeated the New York Yankees 7-0 on Thursday, snapping a three-game losing streak. Kansas City has the second-worst record in the league, and is 16 games back in the AL Central.

Rookie Alex Gordon finished a single shy of the cycle, and is 11-for-28 (.393) with four doubles and six RBIs in his last seven home games.

Brian Bannister (6-6, 3.68) seeks to build off one of his better starts of the season for Kansas City.

After allowing eight runs in 13 innings in losing his previous two outings, Bannister gave up one run and four hits in seven innings of a 5-2 win over Detroit on Sunday.

The right-hander is 6-3 with a 3.19 ERA in nine starts since June 1, going 3-1 with a 3.08 ERA in his four home starts in that span.

This will be his first career start against the Rangers.

Arlington, TX - Ramon Vazquez crushed a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead the Texas Rangers to a 7-6 victory over the Mariners as Seattle closer J.J. Putz blew his first save since last season.

ANOTHER TOMMY MAC PIZZA PLAY WINNER TEXAS +105 MONEY!

Kenny Lofton went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI while Michael Young had two hits for the Rangers, who completed a four-game sweep.

Texas starter Brandon McCarthy went five innings, allowing three runs on eight hits. Despite yielding two runs on three hits, Joaquin Benoit (4-3) was credited with the victory.

Adrian Beltre belted three doubles and knocked in four runs while Ichiro Suzuki had two hits and scored twice for the slumping Mariners, who have lost six straight, matching a season-high.

Miguel Batista started for Seattle and was charged with five runs on eight hits in six innings. The loss went to Putz (1-1), who came into the game with 31 consecutive saves in as many chances dating back to last season, including all 29 this year.

“He’s (Putz) only human. It doesn’t matter how good you are, things can turn in a hurry,” said Texas manager Ron Washington.

Trailing by two runs in the eighth, Seattle plated three runs in the inning to take the lead. Jose Lopez singled with one out off Frank Francisco and Benoit came into the game. Pinch-hitter Ben Broussard greeted Benoit with a double and after Suzuki flied out, Beltre plated two runs with a double to tie the game. Raul Ibanez then put the Mariners in front at 6-5 with a two-base hit.

Marlon Byrd led off the home half of the eighth with a base hit and George Sherrill came into the game and got Frank Catalanotto out on a sacrifice bunt. Putz was then summoned from the bullpen and struck out Gerald Laird. Vazquez then crushed a two-run homer to center to put the Rangers in front by a run.

“I was looking middle-in and trying to pull the ball. I got the pitch I wanted,” explained Vazquez.

Benoit stayed in the game in the ninth and kept Seattle off the board as Texas held on for the victory.

Back-to-back doubles by Catalanotto and Laird gave Texas a 1-0 edge in the second inning.

Seattle tied the game in the third as Beltre’s two-base hit to left plated Suzuki, who legged out an infield single and then stole second.

In the home half of the third, Lofton launched a two-run homer that just cleared the wall in right to make it 3-1.

The Mariners plated two runs in the fifth to even the score. Yuniesky Betancourt started things with a base hit and Suzuki followed with a double. Beltre’s groundout brought in Betancourt and a wild pitch by McCarthy allowed Suzuki to score to make it 3-3.

Texas answered with two runs in the bottom of the fifth to regain its two-run lead. Vazquez walked and with one out, advanced all the way to third on back- to-back wild pitches by Batista. Lofton then lined a base hit up the middle to make Batista pay. Young kept things going with a single and Mark Teixeira’s double brought home Lofton to make it 5-3.

Game Notes

Texas ended 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position…The Mariners have lost six straight on three different occasions this season…Seattle had 15 hits while the Rangers finished with 12.

Although manager John McLaren won’t admit it, the Seattle Mariners have been wasting a perfect opportunity to take over first place in the AL West.

The Mariners look to avoid a season high-tying sixth straight loss when they wrap up their four-game series with the Texas Rangers on Wednesday.

Seattle (54-44) pulled within one game of the division lead on Friday and despite their latest slide, are only 2 1/2 games back of the first-place Los Angeles Angels, who have lost seven of nine.

The Mariners were swept in Tuesday’s doubleheader, losing the first game 2-1 and the nightcap 4-3. They are just 4-14 at Rangers Ballpark dating to 2005, and were swept in a four-game series there last Aug. 10-13.

Ichiro Suzuki is just 4-for-20 during the skid, while third baseman Adrian Beltre is only 3-for-17.

Miguel Batista (10-7, 4.32 ERA) tries to match his career high in victories and help the Mariners end their skid when he takes the ball on Wednesday.

Batista, who won 11 games for Arizona in 2001 and 2006, didn’t look like he would come close to that mark the way he started this season. He went 3-3 with a 6.98 ERA in his first seven starts, but is 7-4 with a 2.96 ERA in 13 games since May 18.

On Friday, he allowed two runs, five hits and struck out six in 5 2-3 innings of a 4-2 victory over Toronto.

Two of Batista’s wins this season have come over the Rangers, as he’s allowed five runs in 13 innings in two contests. He’s 3-3 with a 4.65 ERA in nine games - six starts - lifetime against Texas, but is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA in four games - two starts - at Rangers Ballpark.

Texas (45-56) has won three straight, one shy of its season high set June 20-23.

Micheal Young is batting .469 (15-for-32) during an eight-game hitting streak, and is 7-for-17 (.412) lifetime against Batista.

Brandon McCarthy (4-7, 5.53) opposes Batista as he again seeks his first win since May 20.

McCarthy, who spent most of June on the disabled list because of a recurring blister on his right middle finger, is 0-3 with a 5.08 ERA in his last six starts.

The Rangers’ offense has made it challenging for McCarthy, who’s received just two runs of support in his last six outings.

The 24-year-old right-hander had one of his worst starts of the season against the Mariners on April 15, getting tagged for six runs and six hits - including a season-high three home runs - in just two innings of a 14-6 loss. He’s 0-2 with a 12.71 ERA in three games - one start - lifetime against Seattle.

Mariners designated hitter Jose Vidro is batting .462 (18-for-39) in 11 games since the All-Star break, and has homered in each of his two at-bats against McCarthy this season. He has just three home runs on the year.
