  Things to watch in the Big 12 Conference in Week 2. Kiko Alonso Jersey . There are three more games against teams from other Power Five conferences after the league was 2-1 in such games on the opening weekend, including Texas beating Notre Dame.GAME OF THE WEEKArkansas at No. 15 TCU. The former Southwest Conference rivals meet for the first time in 25 years, since the Razorbacks last SWC season in 1991 before moving to the SEC. Both are coming off tough opening wins: the Razorbacks got their winning touchdown with 6:37 left in a 21-20 win over Louisiana Tech, and TCU finally shook off FCS team South Dakota State in the second half. New TCU starting quarterback Kenny Hill beat Arkansas two years ago while a sophomore starter for Texas A&M. TCU faced Arkansas coach Bret Bielema when he was still at Wisconsin, beating the Badgers in the Rose Bowl to wrap their 2010 season with a 13-0 record.BEST MATCHUPTexas Tech at Arizona State. The Sun Devils are 10-0 in non-conference home games since coach Todd Graham became their coach in 2012, and they have won their last four home games against non-conference Power Five opponents. This is the first time Texas Tech has played a Pac-12 opponent during the regular season since their first meeting with Arizona State in 1999. Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who led the nation in total offense last year, had 540 total yards (483 passing, 57 rushing) in just more than a half in the opener.INSIDE THE NUMBERS:Baylor has won 12 straight games in its series against former SWC rival SMU. ... Oklahoma State has a nations best 39 non-offensive touchdowns since 2010 after twice scoring on fumble recoveries in the 61-7 victory over Southeastern Louisiana. ... While breaking a 15-game losing streak in its 55-7 win over Rhode Island, Kansas scored its most points since a 76-point outburst against Nebraska in 2007. ... Quarterback Shane Buechele wasnt the only true freshman to play for Texas in the win over Notre Dame. There were nine others.LONG SHOTLouisiana-Monroe is a nearly 50-point underdog as the opponent for No. 14 Oklahomas home opener. The Sooners are coming off that 33-23 loss to Houston, and have only this game before hosting fourth-ranked Ohio State and then getting into Big 12 play. The Sooners won 34-0 in the only previous game in the series, in the 2013 season opener.IMPACT PERFORMERBaylor senior running back Shock Linwood has had consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and is only 107 yards shy of becoming the schools career rushing leader. Walter Abercrombies 3,665 yards has stood as the Bears record for 35 years. Linwood had nine carries for 97 yards in the season opener, when he didnt play after halftime in a lopsided victory.---Compiled by AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Fort Worth, Texas.---AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Jarvis Landry Jersey . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. Cheap NFL Jerseys . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. http://www.cheapfootballdolphinsjerseys.com/?tag=authentic-michael-thomas-jersey . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. With 10 games being played on Wednesday night, there are a multitude of options for your DFS basketball lineup. Who should you build around and who should you avoid? Our experts have you covered.Todays panel consists of Joe Kaiser, Jim McCormick and Kyle Soppe.Players to build aroundKyle Soppe -- Victor Oladipo, Oklahoma City ThunderSo you may have heard, but there is a guard in Oklahoma City having a season for the ages. Russell Westbrook is functioning at such a high level that he is going to break DFS pricing formulas pretty soon, but his high level of play has allowed Oladipo to flourish in a bit of an under the radar type of way. For roughly 55 percent of what you have to pay to acquire Westbrook, you can get his backcourt mate that has produced at least eight rebounds-plus-assists in seven of his last eight games and has proven capable of scoring in bunches (over 25 points three times over the last two weeks). Oladipos usage has been consistent this season and by playing in the game with the highest implied total, the Thunders shooting guard comes with a nice floor/ceiling combination this evening against the Wizards.Joe Kaiser -- Myles Turner, Indiana PacersTurner is affordably priced in an ideal matchup against a Portland team that ranks last in defensive efficiency and gives up more DFS points to power forwards than any other team in the NBA. Expect this to be one of the highest scoring games of the night and for the Pacers second-year big man to go off.Jim McCormick -- DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento KingsBoogie is on one of his awesome big-game benders weve come to covet as daily fantasy players, as hes averaged 33 points, 12.7 boards, 26.5 shots and 60.75 fantasy points (on DraftKings scoring model) over his past six games. The Kings are afforded a healthy team point total hovering around 105 points, per the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, while the 76ers have the seventh-worst defensive rating in the league. As a pivot from Russ Westbrooks demanding price point, Cousins is in a strong spot to return and exceedd value in South Philly tonight. Ryan Tannehill Jersey. Players to fadeKyle Soppe -- Harrison Barnes, Dallas MavericksGo outside on a cold day and stick your tounge to a poll. Not fun. Rostering a star player in a game featuring two of the four slowest paced offenses with the Spurs licking their wounds from an awful home loss. Also not fun. Now, Ive done one of those two things before and I have no interest in doing the other tonight. Ill let you decide what I have/havent done, but I will say that while Barnes has been a consistent source of scoring, his contribution in other categories has been sporadic. Last week, for example, he had consecutive games without a single free throw attempt. Early this month, he had a four-game stretch with a grand total of three assists. Or how about the fact that he has had a steal and a block in just one game this season? Dont pay for Barnes name and instead save some money at the small forward position (Kent Bazemore anyone?).Jim McCormick -- Wilson Chandler, Denver NuggetsChandler has been great for much of the season, but I dont love his setup against a down-pace team like the Heat, as Miami has the sixth-slowest pace in the league. The Heat have also proven capable of defending the wing, ceding the third-fewest fantasy points to small forwards on DraftKings scoring model. If we use his recent sluggish matchups with the similarly slow Jazz as precedent, it makes sense to look elsewhere at small forward in cash competitions.Joe Kaiser -- Julius Randle, Los Angeles LakersRandle played only 22 minutes in his return to the court against New Orleans on Tuesday after missing a week due to a hip pointer injury. With tonights game against Chicago being the second of a back-to-back, theres a good chance his minutes will be limited again and that will make it very difficult for him to reach his salary value since hes priced in the mid $6,000s on both DraftKings and FanDuel.
