Michael van Gerwen could end the week level on 20 points at the summit of Premier League Darts alongside Phil Taylor.Sky Live: PL Darts Everything you need to know before Bournemouth Second-placed Van Gerwen currently has 16 but two matches on Thursday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD at 7pm, means he could catch Taylor if The Power is turned off.But will he? Wayne Mardle puts his thinking cap on... Michael van Gerwen v Peter WrightLike most weeks I dont think Van Gerwen will lose - but hes having trouble winning! Hes won one of his last five. Theres no structure to whats happening, hes playing well but not winning. Remember when MVG hit a nine-darter in front of Freddie Flintoff? One of the players who has done that for the duration of the Premier League is Wright - he plays well but somehow gets beaten or he draws. I feel for him, because hes played well.But if Wright continues to change his darts with the regularity that he has done, hell find himself out of form and not know where to turn.Prediction: Lets not beat around the bush, Van Gerwen is a better player. I do think he will win. (Sky Bet Odds: MVG 1/3 to win)Raymond van Barneveld v Adrian LewisBarney doesnt always play well against Lewis. This is horses for courses, I just think Lewis to play Van Barneveld. Last weeks nine-darter from Adrian Lewis I can see Barney playing well but, now he cant qualify, he lacks that edge. Last week he played a drab affair in a way that told me hes had enough of the Premier League this season.Prediction: Adrian beats Barney quite cosily, 7-3 or 7-4. (Sky Bet Odds: Lewis 5/1 to win 7-3)Gary Anderson v James WadeYou cant afford to lose anyone below you in the league. They can go above you and drag you down. If you start losing to those below you regularly, you get dragged into the pack. Reaction from Micahel van Gerwen and Gary Anderson after their thrilling draw Andersons performance against Van Gerwen last week was a massive plus, it was nearly faultless. He hit a 119 finish under pressure, and averaged 108 to draw with Van GerwenPrediction: I like the way James is playing but I think Gary wins. James lacks the consistent ability to go 140, 140, game shot. (Sky Bet Odds: Anderson 4/7 to win)Phil Taylor v Robert ThorntonI love Robert to bits, I love that he tries 100 percent. He doesnt just play for the prize money - lets be honest, hell finish seventh or eighth but he annihilated Wright last week. Watch Phil Taylors winning leg against Barney But Taylor is showing a consistently brilliant form. He reads the game, and his opponent. He pulls out the right shot, at the right time.Prediction: Phil has got too much for Thornton - hell win 7-3. (Sky Bet Odds: Taylor 9/2 to win 7-3)Michael van Gerwen v Adrian LewisAfter last weeks nine-darter, can Adrian play that well again? It wasnt just the nine-darter, he played beautifully well. Relive some classic encounters between Michael van Gerwen and Jackpot Adrian had a dart to go 5-1 up last week but missed, and folded for 10 minutes. If he has a spell like that again Van Gerwen, he wont get away with it.Prediction: Adrian will play well but, at the moment, he isnt consistently a match for Van Gerwen.

Grayson Allen Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Brian Kellys worst season at Notre Dame took an embarrassing turn Tuesday as the NCAA announced that academic misconduct orchestrated by a student athletic trainer will cost the storied program all 21 victories from the 2012-13 seasons, including the 12-0 run that vaulted the Fighting Irish into the national championship game against Alabama.It marked just the fourth time the NCAA has cited Notre Dame for a major rules violation. The vacated games include Notre Dames 12 victories in 2012, their best regular season since winning their last national championship in 1988. The season finished with an embarrassing 42-14 loss to the Crimson Tide in the title game and the revelation that linebacker Manti Teo had been the victim of a fake girlfriend hoax.The school ripped the NCAA for its decision to vacate the wins and immediately said it would appeal. The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said the NCAA has never before vacated records in such a case.We believe that imposition of the vacation of records penalty without serious underlying institutional misconduct will not primarily punish those responsible for the misconduct, but rather will punish coaches, student-athletes and indeed the entire institution who did nothing wrong and, with regard to this case, did everything right, Jenkins said. He noted the NCAA has since voted to change the rule that brought this case under NCAA jurisdiction rather than leaving such decisions to individual schools.The Division I Committee on Infractions panel also put Notre Dame on probation for a year and ordered a $5,000 fine, penalties the school agreed with. There were no bowl or scholarship punishments.According to the NCAA, the trainer was employed by the athletics department from fall 2009 through the spring of 2013 and partially or wholly completed numerous academic assignments for football student-athletes in numerous courses from 2011 into 2013. It said she did substantial coursework for two players and gave impermissible help to six others in 18 courses over two academic years. The NCAA said the woman continued to provide impermissible academic benefits to football student-athletes for a full year after she graduated and was in her first year of law school elsewhere.In all, the NCAA said, three athletes would up playing while ineligible, one during the 2012 season and the other two the following season, when the Irish went 9-4.Kelly said he knew the vacated wins were a possibility since Notre Dame officials met with the NCAA several months ago. He said he had hoped reasonable people would come to a reasonable decision.If doing the right thing means that youve got to put an asterisk next to these gammes, thats fine with me, he said.ddddddddddddWe still beat Oklahoma. We still beat Wake Forest, we still beat all those teams, so you can put an asterisk next to it. If that makes you feel better, then thats fine with me.He said he doesnt believe he has any culpability in the case and has no reason to believe he wont be back as Notre Dames coach next season.I think you guys are confusing this statement with the win-loss record, said Kelly, whose struggling team has a 4-7 record ahead of Saturdays game at No. 12 USC. A win-loss record is always under scrutiny at Notre Dame, and it should be. Thats part of it.The report doesnt name the players involved, but stems from an investigation that began in August 2014 , when the university suspended defensive lineman Ishaq Williams, receiver DaVaris Daniels, linebacker Kendall Moore and cornerback KeiVarae Russell, who werent allowed to play that season. The school later benched safety Eilar Hardy, who was allowed to return in midseason. Russell returned and played for the Irish last season. Quarterback Everett Golson was suspended for the fall 2013 semester for what he termed poor judgment on a test.Notre Dame players said after practice Tuesday that Kelly explained the NCAA announcement after practice. They said it has no effect on them.Its just a couple of guys made a mistake and the whole team goes down with it, left tackle Mike McGlinchey said.McGlinchey said he wasnt worried about the victories being vacated.We know we won the games, said McGlinchey, a team captain. Theyre not going to take that away from us. They can take it away in the record books all they want, but we won the games.It was the first major NCAA violation for Notre Dame since 1999, when the school was placed on probation and had two scholarships taken away because of the relationship between Irish players and former booster Kimberly Dunbar, who embezzled more than $1.2 million from her employer and then lavished the players with gifts, trips and money. The NCAA also lists two other major infractions : in 1971 for the improper administration of financial aid and in 1954 for improper tryouts.If the NCAA erases all 21 Notre Dame victories, the Irish would fall from the school with the second-most wins in NCAA history behind Michigan (935) to fifth place with 875. That would place them behind Texas (892), Nebraska (889), Ohio State (885) and tied with Alabama (875) heading into the game against the Trojans, where they are 17-point underdogs.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
