Western Bulldogs will benefit from knowing exactly what their AFL finals equation is on Sunday, when a frantic race to September ends in Perth.The Bulldogs can finish as high as fourth on the ladder if four results go their way in the last round of the season.On the flipside they could remain in seventh spot - regardless of how emphatic the victory they hope to enjoy over Fremantle might be.The Bulldogs are one of three sides on 15 wins, while ladder-leaders Sydney are one of four clubs to have already banked 16 victories.It means there are still plenty of unknowns and different scenarios that could play out as the jostling for a home final continues.The Bulldogs at least have one ace up their sleeve: their game starts at 4.40pm AEST on Sunday when the picture will be a lot clearer.Well have a fair idea of whether theres an opportunity (to climb up the ladder) or whether things cant change, depending on what happens in the other games, Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge said.So well need to process whatever happens before we play.If you start thinking too much about outcomes before you run out .. it can get to you and can be your achilles heel ultimately.All that matters is you focus on the actual process of doing your best to win.Beveridge was surprised to hear his side are still in the mix for a top-four berth.The Bulldogs will earn a double chance in finals if they win, while West Coast, Greater Western Sydney and Hawthorn all lose.They would also need to bridge a percentage gap of 2.3 to overtake the Hawks.Whether thats a reach or not, I dont know. Who knows, stranger things have happened, Beveridge said.Well travel to Western Australia with a team intent on finishing the home-and-away season on a positive.And making sure weve got some momentum coming into the week off.Who knows how the cards might fall.Miles Killebrew Jersey .

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Wholesale Lions Jerseys . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111.LOS ANGELES -- Southern California defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergasts biggest strength is taking away the opposing offenses biggest strength.However, there is no obvious strength to attack this week against No. 4 Washington. The Huskies offense is as balanced as it gets, averaging 268.4 yards passing per game and 231 yards rushing.You just dont know, Trojans cornerback Adoree Jackson said Wednesday. Either or, they are deadly.Pendergasts tactical prowess has been on display during USCs five-game winning streak, holding opponents under their season scoring average by 14.5 points per game and total offense average by 100.2 yards. Arizona State, Colorado and Oregon each failed to top 96 yards rushing in that span, but players offered no hints that stopping the run is the priority on Saturday.I think its 50-50, safety Chris Hawkins said. I know their pass game relies heavily on their run game. We got to be real disciplined this week.That balance extends to the composition of the Huskies passing offense, where Hawkins sees two equal threats in receivers John Ross and Dante Pettis. Ross is tied for second among FBS players with 14 touchdown receptions, but Hawkins said that production is a reflection of having another threat on the other side of the formation.I dont think Dante Pettis gets enough credit for how good he really is, Hawkins said. Its hard to just pick on one receiver and say we can double-team this guy. You cant do that when you got a dude over there who is a first-team (all-conference) caliber player. They balance each other out. This is one of the most balanced offenses I have seen in a long time.Clues as to what Pendergast might do against Washington could come from the 21-17 win over the Buffaloes, another offense that strives for balance between rush and pass. USC aimed to limit the run and allowed a stingy 3.3 yards pper carry, forcing Colorado into third-and-long on 13 of its 17 tries.ddddddddddddThe USC defense does catch a break as Washington is among the handful of Pac-12 teams not playing at a breakneck pace, breaking a streak of five consecutive opponents that used sustained tempo on offense. That could be beneficial to defensive tackle Stevie Tuikolovatu, who aggravated a knee injury against the Ducks.The redshirt senior transfer from Utah had a platelet-rich plasma injection earlier this week and coach Clay Helton is pleased with Tuikolovatus recovery, though he has not practiced yet this week. Tuikolovatu has started all but one game this season, offering a veteran presence to an inexperienced defensive front.Looks like he is showing signs of life and I wouldnt be surprised if he plays in this game, Helton said.Helton credited improvement on the defensive line as a major key to USCs winning streak, accounting for six tackles for loss with 3 1/2 sacks.They feel like they are playing in the other teams backfield and thats what you really hope for. Its a big mans game, and the offensive and defensive lines have led us the past five games.Between that progress and Pendergasts scheming, Helton is optimistic USC can stop Washingtons main strength on offense. But what that is, Helton wont say.Not to give away the game plan, I really like what he is getting ready to do in this game, Helton said. Hes identified exactly what he feels the strength is and well see how it goes.Game notesCornerback Iman Marshall (hamstring) and running backs Justin Davis (ankle) and AcaCedric Ware (ankle) all returned to practice Wednesday.
