EBAY CATEGORY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects are recorded onto a sensitive medium or storage chip through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical or digital devices known as cameras.

 When I was stationed in South Korea in 1970 and 71, I took up black and white photography, and I used high speed ectachrome film for all my pictures. I loved this hobby, and all of my pictures appeared to be taken in a very sunny place, due to the high speed film.

The Denver Broncos lost their season opener 18-10 to the St. Louis Rams, but they've bounced back with two straight victories. However, to keep that record above .500 they'll need to get past the unbeaten Baltimore Ravens in their Monday night matchup.

But beating the Ravens Monday night is a tall order for Denver, even if the oddsmakers have them pegged as 4-point home favorites (with a total of 33) in the contest. Baltimore has allowed just 33 points over four games so far this season, while the Broncos have put just 36 points on the scoreboard over their first three 2006 matchups.

That means Denver will need to step up their production versus a team that has barely allowed anyone to score on them this year. Of course, the Ravens haven't exactly been playing world-beaters to date - they blanked Tampa Bay, allowed only six points versus Oakland, gave up 14 to Cleveland, then held San Diego to 13 last week. Still, Denver hasn't scored more than 17 points in any contest this season (putting up 10, 9, and 17).

And Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer has been on the hot seat all year long, thanks to awful performances against St. Louis (13-of-26 for 138 yards, zero TDs, three INTs) and Kansas City (16-of-30 for 173 yards, zero TDs, one INT) in Denver's first two games. Plummer bounced back somewhat in their third game against New England (15-of-30 for 256 yards, two TDs, zero INTs), but his quarterback rating is still sitting at just 60.6, and he has twice as many INTs (4) and sacks-against (4) as he has touchdowns.

Steve McNair hasn't been spectacular for the Ravens, but when your team is 4-0 a lot of issues can get overlooked. McNair is 73-of-131 for 746 yards passing on the season (for a completion percentage of 55.7%), and he's thrown five touchdown strikes, been intercepted three times, and sacked seven times. Overall, McNair's quarterback rating is sitting at 75.4, which ranked him 24th in the league going into Week 5 against Denver.

Baltimore has paid off for their supporters this year, as they sit with a 3-1 record against-the-spread. On the road, the Ravens are 1-1 ATS, and as the underdog they are 2-0 ATS. Taking the UNDER for Baltimore games this season has been profitable as well; the Ravens are 0-3-1 OVER/UNDER so far, with strong defense playing a role.

The Broncos haven't been a great bet in 2006, as they sit with a 1-2 against-the-spread record. At home Denver is 0-1 ATS, and as the favored team they are 0-2 ATS. Like the Ravens, the Broncos have been a poor play for OVER bettors so far in 2006, as all three of their contests have seen the combined score go UNDER the day's posted total.

Denver and Baltimore met once in 2005, with the Broncos pulling out a 12-10 home victory on December 11. However, the Broncos had been favored by 14.5-points over the struggling Ravens in that contest, and didn't come close to covering the big spread. The total for the game had been listed at 40 points, which made the result an UNDER.

Here is the official Week 5 injury report for the Ravens:

Justin Green RB Questionable Week 5 (Neck)
Evan Oglesby CB Questionable Week 5 (Thigh)
Terrell Suggs DE Questionable Week 5 (Thigh)
Adalius Thomas LB Questionable Week 5 (Neck)
Daniel Wilcox TE Questionable Week 5 (Thigh)
Todd Heap TE Questionable Week 5 (Thigh)
Mike Smith LB Questionable Week 5 (Hip)

Here is the official Week 5 injury report for the Broncos:

Cedric Cobbs RB Out Week 5 (Ankle)
Courtney Brown DE Doubtful Week 5 (Knee)

After playing in Denver on Monday night the Ravens will return to M&T Bank Stadium for a Week 6 home contest against the Carolina Panthers. The Broncos will remain in Colorado for their next matchup, which will take place on Sunday night against Oakland.

San Diego expects to build on last game's 3-1 win against the Cardinals on Sunday and they entrust Woody Williams to get the job done when they battle the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in Game four of the NLDS. The Padres ask Woody Williams and his 12-5, 3.65 mark to outduel St. Louis starter Chris Carpenter, 15-8 3.09 ERA.   The Cardinals opened as 175 favorites with their ace on the mound. The total opened at 7.5.   San Diego won at St. Louis against the Cardinals last game as underdogs, tallying a score of 3-1. The combined score went under the total. The Padres staff is stingy with baserunners, allowing fewer men to reach base than just about every team in the league. St. Louis needs to get to Williams and into the bullpen to make things happen today. Some trends to consider: San Diego is 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 games San Diego is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games against St. Louis San Diego is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 away San Diego is 7-1-0 SU in its last 8 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs St. Louis is 8-17-1 OU in its last 26 at home St. Louis is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games against San Diego Next up: San Diego home to St. Louis, Monday, October 9 St. Louis at San Diego, Monday, October 9

The Detroit Tigers will be looking for the upper hand when they host the New York Yankees at Comerica Park on Friday with the series tied at 1. The Yankees are favored to win on the road at -150 on this day, with the Tigers listed at an underdog +140. The OVER/UNDER is listed at 9 runs. The Tigers will send out Kenny Rogers on Friday, and Rogers will give Detroit fans a good feeling with his 17-8 record and 3.84 ERA. The Tigers need Brandon Inge to get it going in this postseason at the plate. Randy Johnson goes to work for the Yankees with his 17-11 record and his ERA of 5.

After rain postponed Game 2 Wednesday, the New York Yankees will look to follow up last game's win over the Tigers with another Thursday at home and take a 2-0 series lead in their AL best-of-five set. They send Mike Mussina against Justin Verlander. The Tigers start Justin Verlander, 17-9, 3.63 ERA. Detroit will need to get their bats going if they hope to turn things around, executing simple hit-and run plays last game resulted in double-plays being made against them. Check back later for this game's line and total. The Yankees are used to these delays and have a multitude of experience, including Derek Jeter who belted a home run and collected four hits and two RBI in the series opener. Last time out, the Tigers lost to the Yankees 8-4 as underdogs. That contest went over the closing total. The Tigers need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base.

 The Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears, and the Baltimore Ravens are the last three unbeaten teams in the National Football League, and they hold down the top three spots in this week's edition of the NFL Power Rankings. The Bears will try to go to 5-0 by getting past the Buffalo Bills this week, while the Ravens will need to top the Denver Broncos on Monday night to keep that zero in the loss column. The Colts look like they have a gift this week - they're scheduled to take on the winless Tennessee Titans, with a win likely keeping them atop the list heading into Week 6.

The Titans are one of four winless teams left in the league, and they obviously will have the toughest time picking up that elusive first victory this weekend. The 0-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a road game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, while the 0-4 Detroit Lions play in Minnesota against the Vikings, and the 0-3 Oakland Raiders travel across the bay to battle the San Francisco 49ers. Obviously all four of those teams will be underdogs this weekend; in fact, the Titans opened as huge 18.5-point road underdogs against the Colts, a spread usually seen only in college.

Here is the Week 5 edition of the NFL Power Rankings.

01 - Indianapolis Colts 4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 01)

Needed a touchdown run from Peyton Manning late in the fourth quarter to get a win over the Jets on Sunday.

02 - Chicago Bears 4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 04)

Did the Bears catch the Seahawks on an off-week, or are they that far ahead of the NFC competition this year?

03 - Baltimore Ravens 4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 05)

Won a battle of unbeatens by upending the Chargers Sunday. Late TD toss by Steve McNair was the difference.

04 - New England Patriots 3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 09)

Tamed the Bengals last week (38-13) to shoot back up the list. Scored 24 straight points to finish out the contest.

05 - Seattle Seahawks 3-1 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 02)

Only managed two FGs in their loss to the Bears last week. Matt Hasselbeck was picked off twice in the defeat.

06 - Cincinnati Bengals 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 03)

Carson Palmer went just 20-of-35 for 245 yards passing in their loss to the Patriots, with zero touchdown strikes.

07 - San Diego Chargers 2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS (Last Week 06)

Philip Rivers tossed a TD strike for them in the first quarter Sunday, but he couldn't get a crucial score in the fourth.

08 - Denver Broncos 2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS (Last Week 08)

Come off a bye week into a Monday Night Football contest against Baltimore, so they'll at least be plenty rested.

09 - Philadelphia Eagles 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 13)

Donovan McNabb threw for two touchdowns and ran for another two in their easy win over the Packers on MNF.

10 - Pittsburgh Steelers 1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS (Last Week 10)

Another tough opponent for the Steelers this weekend, as they take on the Chargers in the Sunday night contest.

11 - New York Giants 1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS (Last Week 11)

Will tumble down this list if they come off their bye week and play poorly this Sunday against the rival Redskins.

12 - Jacksonville Jaguars 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 07)

The Jaguars are falling down the list after losing to Washington last week. Get a visit from the Jets this week.

13 - Dallas Cowboys 2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS (Last Week 14)

Terrell Owens didn't get into the end zone versus the Titans, but he did have five catches for 88 yards in the win.

14 - Carolina Panthers 2-2 SU, 0-4 ATS (Last Week 15)

Topped New Orleans last week to move up in the division, but they still haven't managed to cover a spread in '06.

15 - St. Louis Rams 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 18)

Came out on top in a high-scoring affair versus the Lions. Marc Bulger threw for 328 yards and three touchdowns.

16 - Atlanta Falcons 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 19)

Running game was back versus the Cards, with Jerious Norwood and Michael Vick both rushing for 100+ yards.

17 - New Orleans Saints 3-1 SU, 4-0 ATS (Last Week 16)

Drew Brees was still good in their loss to Carolina (28-of-38 for 349 yards), but the unbeaten season is done.

18 - Kansas City Chiefs 1-2 SU, 2-1 ATS (Last Week 20)

Larry Johnson ran for 101 yards and two scores as the Chiefs pounded the 49ers for their first win of the year.

19 - Washington Redskins 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 21)

Mark Brunell threw a touchdown pass to Santana Moss in overtime on Sunday to give the Redskins the victory.

20 - Buffalo Bills 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 25)

Suddenly the Bills are 2-2 after topping the Vikings last week. J.P. Losman went 23-of-32 for 222 yards passing.

21 - New York Jets 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 22)

Almost pulled off an upset over the Colts Sunday afternoon; holding on for that win would've moved them farther up.

22 - Minnesota Vikings 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 12)

Scored a fourth-quarter touchdown to make the final closer, but their record was still dropped to the .500 mark.

23 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS (Last Week 23)

Will try for their first win again this week, versus the Saints. An 0-4 start to the year would be a T-Bay disaster.

24 - Miami Dolphins 1-3 SU, 0-4 ATS (Last Week 17)

Lost to the Texans last week to continue their miserable '06 campaign. Haven't paid off for their bettors either.

25 - Arizona Cardinals 1-3 SU, 0-4 ATS (Last Week 24)

Got trampled by the Falcons last week, with Matt Leinart going 5-of-8 for 49 yards and an INT in relief duties.

26 - San Francisco 49ers 1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 26)

41-0 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday was one of the year's ugliest efforts. Good news though - Raiders this week.

27 - Green Bay Packers 1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 27)

Managed just three FGs on Monday night, and QB Brett Favre was picked off twice and threw for only 205 yards.

28 - Cleveland Browns 1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 29)

Finally found a team they could beat in the Raiders, but it took three unanswered touchdowns to get the job done.

29 - Houston Texans 1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 32)

Gave up 10 late points to the Dolphins on Sunday, but still managed to hold on to earn their first win of the year.

30 - Oakland Raiders 0-3 SU, 0-3 ATS (Last Week 28)

Andrew Walter in their loss to the Browns: 9-of-23 for 68 yards, and one INT. At least one completion was a TD.

31 - Detroit Lions 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 30)

They did manage to score 34 points against the Rams, but giving up 41 points dropped their season mark to 0-4.

32 - Tennessee Titans 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 31)

Vince Young went 14-of-29 for 155 yards passing, with one TD and two INTs as the starter in their Week 4 loss.

The first three spots of the Power Rankings are occupied by American League teams heading into the playoffs, with the Twins and the Athletics following on the heels of the Bronx Bombers. The first National League team on the list, the Mets, sits in spot No. 4 - the loss of Pedro Martinez for the season was a big blow to their championship hopes. The Tigers fall one spot to No. 5 this week after failing to win the AL Central, while the Padres, Dodgers, and Cardinals fill out the rest of the field. All four division series will be completed by next Monday at the very latest.

Here is the postseason edition of the MLB Power Rankings.

01 - New York Yankees (Last Week 01)

Qualified As: AL East Champion | 2006 Record: 97-65 | Last 10 Games: 5-5 | Current Streak: Lost 2

Qualified As: NL East Champion | 2006 Record: 97-65 | Last 10 Games: 5-5 | Current Streak: Won 4

05 - Detroit Tigers (Last Week 04)

Qualified As: AL Wild Card Winner | 2006 Record: 95-67 | Last 10 Games: 4-6 | Current Streak: Lost 5

Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers picked up their first win of the season last week against the Detroit Lions. If Favre and company can get past the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Monday night, they'll be able to square their '06 record at 2-2.

However, with all apologies to the Lions, the Packers haven't shown they can compete with quality teams so far this season. In Week 1 Green Bay was blanked 26-0 by the Chicago Bears, and they followed up that loss with a 34-27 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. The final score in their victory over the Lions was 31-24.

Do the Eagles qualify as a quality team? Well, they're 2-1 on the year (and 2-1 against-the-spread as well), and they entered Week 4 in first place in the NFC East division. But Philadelphia's two wins came against league doormats Houston (24-10 in Week 1) and San Francisco (38-24 in Week 3). Their loss came in Week 2 against the New York Giants, when they gave up 17 points in the final quarter and eventually lost 30-24 in OT.

So Philadelphia still has something to prove as well, although Donovan McNabb has been effective so far this season. The quarterback threw for 314, 350, and 296 yards over the team's first three contests, with seven touchdown strikes and just a single INT.

Favre has been pretty good as well - if you don't look at his Week 1 numbers. The Packers QB went just 15-of-29 for 170 yards passing against the tough Bears, with no TD strikes and two interceptions. However, Favre has bounced back with two straight games of 340 yards in the air, throwing six TD passes and getting picked off just once.

Oddsmakers and bettors, though, haven't been giving the Packers much of a shot on Monday night. Philadelphia is currently pegged as a huge 11.5-point home favorite, with the total going from an opening 45.5 points to a current 48.5 points. The Eagles are 2-1 ATS and 2-1 OU so far in 2006, while the Packers are 1-2 ATS and 2-1 OU this season.

The Eagles won the meeting between these teams last season, picking up a 19-14 victory at home in November. Philadelphia had been favored by 4 points in that contest, while the combined score fell UNDER the posted total (41.5). The previous season the Eagles pounded Green Bay 47-17 at home, covering the spread and creating an OVER.

On the injury front, the Eagles have both RB Brian Westbrook (knee) and WR Donte Stallworth (hamstring) listed as questionable for this game. Westbrook returned to practice on Saturday, and his swollen knee shouldn't keep him off the field on Monday. Stallworth is expected to play too, but is more of a game-time decision. For the Packers RB Ahman Green (rib) was listed as probable, but he is now considered questionable.

Here is the official Week 4 injury report for the Packers:

Kenderick Allen DT Out Week 4 (Foot)
Will Blackmon CB Questionable Week 4 (Foot)
Junius Coston T Questionable Week 4 (Knee)
Ryan Pickett DT Questionable Week 4 (Ankle)
Jason Spitz G Questionable Week 4 (Thigh)
Ahman Green RB Probable Week 4 (Rib)
Aaron Kampman DE Probable Week 4 (Head)
David Martin TE Probable Week 4 (Illness)
 
Here is the official Week 4 injury report for the Eagles:

Roderick Hood CB Doubtful Week 4 (Heel)
Lito Sheppard CB Doubtful Week 4 (Ankle)
Brian Dawkins S Questionable Week 4 (Concussion)
Donte' Stallworth WR Questionable Week 4 (Hamstring)
Brian Westbrook RB Questionable Week 4 (Knee)
Shawn Andrews G Probable Week 4 (Shoulder)
Reggie Brown WR Probable Week 4 (Shoulder)
Sean Considine S Probable Week 4 (Hip)
Darren Howard DE Probable Week 4 (Knee)
Michael Lewis S Probable Week 4 (Quadricep)
Reno Mahe RB Probable Week 4 (Ankle)
Matt McCoy LB Probable Week 4 (Stinger)
L.J. Smith TE Probable Week 4 (Shoulder)
Tra Thomas T Probable Week 4 (Foot)
Darwin Walker DT Probable Week 4 (Quadricep)

After playing on Monday night the Packers go back home for a Week 5 contest against Marc Bulger and the St. Louis Rams. The Eagles, meanwhile, remain in Philadelphia for their Week 5 contest, and they will play host to Terrell Owens and the Dallas Cowboys.

There are two matchups between undefeated teams on the NFL schedule for Sunday, while the 2-1 Patriots get a tough game versus the 3-0 Bengals. Here's a closer look . . .

San Diego (-2) at Baltimore 1:00 PM

The Ravens' defense has managed to get the job done so far this year - and as a result they're currently 3-0. Baltimore blanked Tampa Bay 27-0 back in Week 1, then topped Oakland 28-6 in Week 2. Last week the Ravens got down early against Cleveland, but  surged back for a 15-14 victory. Against the Chargers this week TE Todd Heap (ankle) is listed as probable, while S Ed Reed (foot) is questionable and has been called a game-time decision. DT Haloti Ngata (back) is questionable too, but intends on playing.

The Chargers had a bye in Week 3, after beating Oakland and Tennessee, respectively, in their first two games of the season. In those two victories against weak opposition San Diego managed to score 67 points while allowing only seven. Their game against Baltimore this week will be a better test of where they stand in 2006, but the oddsmakers seem to like their chances - they've been set as a 2-point road favorite. On the injury front, WR Keenan McCardell (hamstring) is questionable, but likely to suit up.

New England at Cincinnati (-5.5) 4:15 PM

The Patriots were handily defeated 17-7 by Denver on Sunday night last week, which dropped their record to 2-1 on the season. More distressing, though, is the fact that New England has actually been outscored 51-50 by their opponents through their first three games this season. Slim wins over Buffalo and the Jets to start the year don't have Pats fans very enthused about the team right now, and the oddsmakers aren't too impressed either - the Bengals have been pegged as 5.5-point home favorites on the betting line.

Cincinnati, of course, has yet to lose this season, and their win over the division-rival Steelers last week kept them in a first-place tie with the Ravens in the AFC North division. Each of C Rich Braham, S Dexter Jackson, WR Tab Perry, and DE Frostee Rucker are listed as out for the Bengals this week, while DT Sam Adams (knee) and WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (foot) are probable. Cincinnati has put 85 points on the scoreboard over three contests so far this season, second only to the Colts in the AFC.

Seattle at Chicago (-3.5) 8:15 PM

The Seahawks pounded the Giants to move to 3-0 on the season last week, but they won't have star RB Shaun Alexander on the field when they play the 3-0 Bears on Sunday. Alexander (foot) was initially listed as doubtful on the injury report this week, but he was later downgraded to out (Maurice Morris will start in the backfield in his place). Also out for Seattle are TE Jerramy Stevens, DT Marcus Tubbs, and G Floyd Womack. With Alexander hurt, oddsmakers have Chicago as 3.5-point home favorites.

The Bears have given up only 23 points over three games so far this season, with 16 of them coming last week in their slim win over the Vikings. Starting QB Rex Grossman went 23-of-41 for 278 yards versus Minnesota, with one TD pass and two INTs - but that one TD pass gave them the win in the fourth quarter. On the injury front, TE Desmond Clark (ankle) is listed as questionable after missing some practice time this week, while RB Thomas Jones hasn't looked great this season but insists he is healthy.
