Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Colts 40, Giants 24-- Giants have long road trip to Seattle on short week.

-- Tom Coughlin has to be quicker to get the replay flag out on the field; reaching down to get it out of his sock cost Giants a TD in this game.

-- Nick Foles doesn't need surgery on his collarbone, but is out 6-8 weeks.

-- Rough week for Indiana's hoop team; they had two kids suspended for failing drug tests, after another player hit a fourth one with his car this weekend. Not good.

-- Paul Molitor got a 3-year deal to manage the Minnesota Twins.

-- AJ Burnett turned down $12.75M to pitch for the Phillies next year; does that mean he thinks he's going to get more somewhere else? Wow.

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Happy Election Day, everyone.......

13) Field position is an under-reported part of football. NFL teams are 45-1 this season when they win average starting field position by 10+ yards; only team to lose was the Raiders in Week 6, when they had a 10-yard advantage but lost 31-28 in the last 2:00 at home to San Diego.

12) NFL’s rules on protecting QB’s are BS; guys like Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin III run, slide at the last minute with defenders rushing at them, then whine to the refs for a flag before they’re even done sliding. Once you break the pocket, you should lose any protection as a runner, especially if you cross the line of scrimmage.

11) Last time the football Cardinals were 7-1 was 40 years ago; they played home games in St Louis and were coached by the great Don Coryell, who had fantastic offensive teams with the Redbirds and Chargers.

10) Its not often two rookie coaches meet who had been coordinators on the same staff. Redskins-Vikings Sunday was Gruden vs Zimmer, both of whom were coordinators for Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati. Who has the advantage, if anyone?

They both know a lot about the other, would be curious to know how that works. Long time ago, Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry were both coordinators for the Giants and became head coaches and later opposed each other in a couple of NFL title games. You wonder if either of them felt they had an edge.

Obviously the guy with better players has a leg up, I just mean in terms of one being able to anticipate what the other will do in certain situations.

9) Timing is Everything Department: Baltimore Ravens are 5-4 and in last place in AFC North. New Orleans Saints are 4-4 but are in first place in NFC South.

8) Steelers’ first four drives Sunday night totaled 18 plays for 29 yards, not very good. Their last nine drives totaled 47 plays for 394 yards and 43 points; all of a sudden Pittsburgh is a juggernaut and now they go play the 1-8 Jets this week. Oy.

7) Speaking of the Jets, they’re headed for a major overhaul in a couple months, which could be the best thing for them. In the meantime, they’ve lost eight games in a row, while old friend Mark Sanchez is now the starting QB for 6-2 Philly, at least for the next 6-8 weeks, maybe longer, depending on how Nick Foles’ collarbone heals.

First Eagle start for Sanchez is on Monday Night Football next week.

6) Rams had eight sacks of mobile Colin Kaepernick Sunday; they had a total of six sacks in their first seven games. Kapernick has now been sacked 14 times in his last two games; you see how unwilling Harbaugh was to run the ball in the last minute Sunday. He musn’t have much faith in his offensive line.

5) Wonder what it feels like after you’ve run a 26-mile marathon? Longest I ever ran at once was just under two miles in some stupid high school gym class; not my thing. Hell, if I drive 26 miles I’m looking for the nearest drive-thru window for a burger and a Cherry Coke. Running 26 miles just seems unhealthy.

4) Random movie/TV things: the actor who played Mr Bentley in The Jeffersons later on was Tom Cruise’s college professor in Cocktail.

Also, the guy who was Herman Munster in the old 60’s TV series wound up being the judge in My Cousin Vinny, 36 years later.

3) Why futures baseball bets are a horrible idea:

Cubs dropped from 400-1 to 200-1 to win the World Series after hiring Joe Maddon as manager. He doesn’t pitch and he didn’t bring any of his coaches from Tampa Bay. The guy the Cubs fired did a good job in his one year there and they cut the odds in half? Also, if Maddon is worth the Cubs getting their odds lowered, then how come Tampa Bay’s stayed at 500-1? Shouldn’t they have gone up to 750-1 or higher?

2) One thing that has made handicapping college basketball harder is teams are allowed two “secret” scrimmages, where they play what amounts to an exhibition game, but with no media and no reporting of results. Awesome. How does that help anything?

Anyway, for what its worth, someone on Twitter said Harvard nipped Providence this weekend. Harvard is favored to win its fifth straight Ivy League title this winter.

1) One thing I neglected to mention from Saturday: Maryland captains refused to shake hands with Penn State's captains before Saturday's game. Bush league; they got a 15-yard penalty for it. Before the game. How do coaches let this happen? Its not like its a great rivalry; it was their first meeting as conference rivals.

Tuesday, November 4


Red Wings, Senators love going Over the total

The Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators have kept scoreboard operators on their toes in recent meetings.

Each of the last six contests between the two clubs have gone Over the total. They'll collide once again Tuesday in Canada's national capital.

Oddsmakers presently have the Wings as -121 faves on the moneyline with an O/U of 5.5.


Jets' offense struggling, host light-scoring Preds

The Winnipeg Jets have been having a hard time finding the back of the net as of late, but they've still been producing wins thanks in large part to solid goaltending.

The Jets have scored just one regulation goal in their last two games, but have managed to walk away victorious in both contests. Michael Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavalec (shootout victory) were credited with shutouts in those matchups against the Blackhawks and Rangers, respectively.

Winnipeg hosts Nashville - the team with the fourth-lowest goals/game average in the league (1.91) - Tuesday. The Preds are presently listed as slight -103 road dogs with a total of 5.


Discipline the key as Wild host Penguins

At 5-0-0, the Minnesota Wild have been unbeatable at home this season, but they'll be tested with the Pittsburgh Penguins in town Tuesday evening.

The key to beating the Penguins could come down to discipline. If Minnesota has a chance, it's going to come even strength. Thirty-one of their 34 goals this season have come even strength, tops in the league. The Penguins, on the other hand, are last in the league in even-strength goals (22 of 41, 53.7 percent).

If the Wild can stay out of the box and keep the Pens' lethal Power Play attack off the ice, they'll have their chance.

The Wild are currently -120 home favorites with a total of 5.5.


Fasth returns between the pipes for Oil vs. Flyers

Edmonton Oilers netminder Viktor Fasth will be in the crease tonight for the Oil's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Swede missed the club's last eight games with a groin injury, and is 0-1-1 with a 5.19 GAA and .870 save percentage in his two starts this season. Steve Mason (0-4, 3.55 GAA, .887 save percentage) gets the nod for Philly.

Oddsmakers presently have the Flyers as -161 moneyline favorites with the total sitting at 5.5.


Edmonton red-hot on the Under

The Edmonton Oilers have gone on a tear for bettors banking on low totals, evidenced by the Under going 6-1 in the club's last seven games.

The Oil face off against the Philadelphia Flyers in Pennsylvania Tuesday.

Philly is currently -161 faves on the moneyline with an O/U of 5.5.
