CLEVELAND -- The Indians made a pitch to Ubaldo Jimenez and protected themselves in case the right-hander leaves town. The club gave Jimenez a $14.1 million qualifying offer on Monday, which he can consider as he starts to talk with other teams. Jimenez, who bounced back from a 9-17 record in 2012 to win 13 games this season, has until Nov. 11 at 5 p.m. EST to accept Clevelands offer. If he signs elsewhere, the Indians would receive an extra pick at the end of the first round in Junes amateur draft. The Indians would love to have the 31-year-old back after he finally emerged as the front-of-the-rotation starter Cleveland thought it was getting when Jimenez was acquired before the trading deadline in 2011. After a slow start this season, Jimenez fine-tuned his delivery, cut down on his walks and went 6-5 with a 1.82 ERA after the All-Star break. Jimenez was at his best in September, going 4-0 with a 1.09 ERA as the Indians finished the month with a 10-game winning streak and earned a wild-card spot to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007. The Indians needed someone to step up when Justin Masterson was sidelined with a side injury, and it was Jimenez who anchored the pitching staff during the seasons crucial stretch. The Indians stuck with Jimenez when he was struggling, and he has expressed his gratitude to the club and pitching coach Mickey Callaway for working with him. He led the AL in losses in 2012, but rebounded nicely and could be one of the most coveted pitchers on the free-agent market. Last week, the Indians exercised their $8 million option on Jimenez for next season, but he voided it and became a free agent The Indians did not extend qualifying offers to any of their other free agents: pitchers Scott Kazmir, Joe Smith, Matt Albers, Rich Hill, outfielder Jason Kubel or catcher Kelly Shoppach.

Yeezy Cheap Real .com) - James Harden needed just seven made field goals to drop 35 points on the Philadelphia 76ers, leading the Houston Rockets to a 104-93 win on Monday. Cheap Yeezy Shoes Wholesale With an overall record of 92-85, including 8-7 last week, TSN football analyst Chris Schultz is back with his Week 13 NFL selections in Risky Business. Chicago at Detroit (-7) One team is coming off of two wins of identical 21-13 scores over Minnesota and Tampa Bay, both at home. The other team is coming off two losses on the road (14-6 at Arizona and 34-9 at New England). Marc Trestman will have good video to study how to move the ball effectively on Detroit. Another big concern for Detroit is they have not registered a touchdown or a sack in the last two games. There are injury concerns at left tackle for the Lions and at cornerback for the Bears. Its a divisional game in the NFC North so the seven points is just too many points for me. Bears. Philadelphia at Dallas (-3) Dallas should be able to move the ball consistently against the Eagles. Philadelphia is 30th in pass defence, have allowed the third-most touchdown passes with 24 and most plays of 20-plus yards at 49. Still if Dallas can establish DeMarco Murray, they can win time of possession and keep the Eagles offence off the field. Dallas truly had a short week having to fly back from New York but if they stick to basics, and on a short week teams usually do, I do see a seven-point win. Dallas needs this bad as they are back in Philadelphia in two weeks and can put a stop on the three-year streak of 8-8 records. Cowboys. Seattle at San Francisco (-1) Did you know the team that scores the first touchdown in the Thursday night games this season is 12-0? Perhaps an advantage for the 49ers at home. Both teams need this one as they are still chasing the Cardinals. Both quarterbacks have exceptional mobility but I think Russell Wilson is more effective when things break down. What concerns me is the seven sacks allowed by Seattle up front and the absence of Marshawn Lynch last week. These two teams do play again in two weeks so the season is on the line for San Francisco to win at home. 49ers. Tennessee at Houston (-6.5) The Texans have already beaten the Titans 30-16 earlier this year so confidence being back at NRG stadium is high. Ryan Mallett is out for the year so it is back to where it started with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Houston is an excellent takeaway team with an NFL-best 24 and theyre going against a rookie quarterback in Zack Mettenberger. Great competition between Taylor Lewan at left tackle for Tennessee and Jadeveon Clowney at right end. With five games left and a 5-6 record, the Texans still have a shot at a 10-win season. Texans. Oakland at St. Louis (-7) It is hard not to like the Rams in a dominant win. The pressure is off for a week in Oakland. After 16 straight losses, a 24-20 win over divisional rival Kansas City means the Raiders will not be 0-16. It will be interesting to see what the Raiders do at running back. Maurice Jones-Drew was acquired in free agency, Darren McFadden is the experienced incumbent, Marcel Reece is part halfback, part fullback and Latavius Murray is the youngest but most explosive. Who receives playing time these last five weeks means a lot. The last two home wins by St. Louis over Seattle and Denver have been impressive and combined with an 0-5 road record for the Raiders the Rams should win and by more than seven. Rams cover. San Diego at Baltimore (-4.5) The strength of Baltimore is run defence and run offence. I thought they did an excellent job against the Saints - especially in the first half - of making Drew Brees one dimensional and on run offence the consistent good play of Justin Forsett in effectively replacing Ray Rice has been a great story. Forsett needs only 97 yards to be a 1,000 yard rusher and has five games to get it. The strength of the Chargers is Philip Rivers as a quarterback. He completed 14 of 15 passes in the second half for the win against the Rams. The Chargers have to win this one. After the Ravens they have New England and Denver at home, then are at San Francisco and home to KC to end the season. Even though they are coming off the win, I think the Chargers are fading while Baltimore is improving. Ravens cover. Cleveland at Buffalo (-1.5) The Cleveland Browns may be the biggest surprise of the NFL. And now they have Josh Gordon back better than ever. Gordon was targeted 16 times against Atlanta, catching eight for 120 yards. But the Bills responded amazingly well to all the adversity and in Ford Field dominated the Jets 38-3. Even if Joe Haden successfully takes Sammy Watkins out of the game 1-on-1 Robert Woods is an excellent alternative. Buffalo Bills move to 7-5 and beat the Browns. Bills. Cincinnati (-3.5) at Tampa Bay Since the disaster against the Browns in Week 10 at home the Bengals have bounced back to beat both the Saints in New Orleans and last week the Texans in Houston 22-13.dddddddddddd I do think given time Lovie Smith can produce a winner in Tampa Bay. Raheem Morris as a head coach was 17-42. Greg Schiano in his limited time was 4-12. And now Smith is 2-9. They play a Bengal team that has both Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard back. The ability of both players helps Andy Dalton as a quarterback in every way. AJ Green has been thrown to 24 times and caught 18 for 248 yards and a touchdown in the last two games. The third game on the road is a challenge but I like the Bengals. Bengals cover 3.5. Washington at Indianapolis (-9.5) These are two teams with completely different approaches to passing the football. Washington will take what a defence gives them, as indicated by having the leagues lowest distance of completion. The Colts are home run hitters and will take downfield shots consistently to break a game wide open. At home I look for Indianapolis to do just that in the second half and break the game wide open. Colts cover. NY Giants (-2) at Jacksonville Odell Beckham has opened up the offence for the Giants and with his presence it also means more room for running backs Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams. And you combine that fact with the truth that the Jacksonville Jaguars have only scored over 20 points twice this season I say yes, the Giants can win by at least 3. Giants. New Orleans at Pittsburgh (-3) At 4-7 the Saints have to win all of the last five games to hit a nine-win season and yes that might be enough to win the division. For the Steelers they are coming off the Thursday night three-point win at Tennessee but are at home with late November cold against a dome Saints team. No team in football through the last 10 games has allowed more first downs on 3rd and 8 or 4th and 8 or longer than New Orleans. Ill take the Steelers at Heinz Field. Carolina at Minnesota (-2) Tough time for Carolina to travel to Minnesota. One team may have a poor record at 4-7 but there does seem like a competitive plan is in place. The other team too has a poor record and seems to be in confusion and disarray. If Minnesota can hold Green Bay to 24 points they can do the same to Carolina. Cam Newton is on pace to be quarterback sacked 51 times which would surpass his career high of 43. Mike Zimmer knows potential rookie of the year Kelvin Benjamin is one of the players that can do him damage but will do all he can to make sure Newton does not have time to find him. Vikings. Atlanta at Arizona (-2.5) There are concerns at quarterback for an Arizona team that did not play well in Seattle but the question is can the starting defence take the Cardinals to an NFC West division title? They are going to have to compete with a motivated Atlanta Falcon team as any one of the four teams in the NFC South still have a chance to win the division. But Atlanta is the front runner and the reason is that out of the division they are 0-7, in the division they are 4-0. I say the pattern continues...Cardinals cover 3. New England at Green Bay (-3) This is a very possible Super Bowl preview and the first time ever Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have played each other as starting quarterbacks. The New England Patriots have an absolutely astonishing record of 32-3 in the second half of the season since 2010. Can a Patriot defensive duo of Darrell Revis and Brandon Browner slow down the combination of wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb? Can Green Bay on defence slow down a New England offence that has won their last four games by 22 or more points? Minnesota held Rodgers to 209 passing yards. That is the video to study. Patriots. Denver (-1) at Kansas City The concern for the Denver Broncos is that they trailed Miami last week three times at home by 11 points and at the start of the fourth quarter were down by a score of 28-17. The confidence with Denver is in that fourth quarter they exploded for three touchdowns in three offensive possessions to win 39-36. For the Chiefs, against Buffalo and Seattle they barely won and last week in Oakland were 2 for 14 on third down. Peyton Manning over Alex Smith. Broncos over Chiefs. Miami (-4.5) at NY Jets I know you should not go against the home underdog on Monday Night Football but the Jets have won two games and the Dolphins have won six but have been very competitive in the last three losses they have had. Miami easily could be 9-2. And in the six wins the average margin of victory is 19 points. I can see a 19-point win for Miami in New York. Ryan Tannehill was 5-for-5 in the red zone for the Dolphins, and just like the team he is improving. Dolphins. ' ' '
