The highlight of the week award has gone to Oklahoma City's wide receiver TIMON MARSHALL.

JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK

Ransom (6-0, 230, Oklahoma State) was an integral part of the Talons' 62-56 victory over the Alabama Vipers in Week 6 action. Ransom acted as the heart of the team, getting his teammates pumped up and nailing key plays. His most memorable play of the game was in the fourth quarter, when he broke through the line and sacked Vipers' QB Kevin Eakin for a safety. It gave the Talons their first lead of the game that they would eventually go on to win. In addition to the defensive score, Ransom also tallied 7.5 tackles and a pass break up.

RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Grady (6-7, 245, Oklahoma/Utah) had not only a stand-out performance for the weekend, it was also a stand-out performance for his season. Grady threw 34- of-42 for 430 yards and 10 touchdowns, all season-highs for the second year Yard Dawg. His completion rate of 81% is nearly 15 points higher than his season average. So far this season, Grady has tallied 1,513 passing yards, good for fifth most in the league.

RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Everett (6-1, 212, UCLA) is this week's defensive player of the week after his strong performance helped to lead the Milwaukee Iron to their fourth victory of the season. Milwaukee handed the Chicago Rush their first loss of the season, and Everett played a key role in the game. Everett tallied two interceptions, one which he ran back nine yards for a score and another which he ran back 46 yards for a score. The second interception was made one-handed and officially knocked the game out of reach for the Rush, bringing the score to 54-27. In total, Everett now has three interceptions on the season, good for second most in the league.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
