Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six of the more intriguing college football games this weekend

Clemson @ Georgia Tech-- Paul Johnson has his option attack rolling.

LSU @ Arkansas-- Bielema is still winless at Arkansas in SEC games, but Hogs are off a bye, while LSU had tough game with Alabama Saturday.

Auburn @ Georgia-- Dawgs are bully team; they won't be bullying Auburn.

South Carolina @ Florida-- Gators much improved with Harris at QB.

Florida State @ Miami-- This is where I point out Winston's 22-0 record.

Mississippi State @ Alabama-- #1 team in country getting seven points

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Happy Veterans' Day.......

13) Greetings from Las Vegas, where it seemed kind of quiet on my first night here. I highly recommend non-stop flights to/from Las Vegas; changing planes with a 2-hour layover made for a very long day.

12) Eagles 45, Panthers 21-- Have to feel good for Mark Sanchez, who got openly mocked by the wiseasses on ESPN before the game. Sanchez has started in two AFC title games; there are lot of NFL QBs who never played a conference championship game. Chip Kelly is on his third starting QB in 26 games, though.

11) I'll never forget this story about Sanchez; NFL teams go to colleges to work out draft prospects every spring. Obviously, if you're looking at a QB, you will also need RBs/WRs to be there, to run routes and catch his passes. Sometimes this can be a problem; when Josh Freeman worked out at Kansas State, two kids showed up to catch his passes.

When Sanchez worked out at USC, around two dozen kids showed up; USC guys, kids who played in high school with Sanchez. He is a beloved teammate by most who know him and thats a big part of being a professional quarterback.

10) NFL officials toned down the penalty stuff this weekend; teams got only 35 first downs in 13 games (2.69 per game) via penalty. Number had been around 4.3 per game for the first nine weeks of the season.

9) Chicago Bears are first team since 1923 to allow 50+ points in consecutive games; at this rate, hard to imagine all their coaches surviving the season with jobs intact.

8) Odd twist to the Alabama/LSU rivalry; LSU offensive coordinator Cam Cameron replaced Nick Saban as coach of the Dolphins when Saban bolted for Alabama.

Enjoy watching Bama-LSU games, but this year's was a little painful: Crimson Tide hit on only 20 of 46 passes. LSU was just 8-26. Oy.

7) #1 Mississippi State is a 7-point underdog this week in Tuscaloosa. Maybe the committee that picks the Final Four for playoffs should use Las Vegas power ratings as part of their selection process. Lot of brain power behind power ratings.

6) An 18-year old kid won NASCAR Nationwide championship? When did he get his license? How does an 18-year old become a professional driver and a good one?

5) Nine of the top ten in the Westgate handicapping contest were right when they had the Jets over Pittsburgh this week. They're smarter people than I am-- how did they know the Jets would have four takeaways, when they had a total of three in their first nine games? They were +4 and only won 20-13.

4) Speaking of which, top six picks each week in Westgate contest are now 33-27 this season; those picks had a lousy record (42-57-4) last year.

3) Washington State's redshirt freshman Luke Falk was 44-61 for 471 yards in his first college start last week, in a 39-32 upset win at Oregon State. Say what you want about Mike Leach, but the man can coach quarterbacks.

2) Michigan 10, Northwestern 9-- This was a terrible, sloppy game, but the ending was dramatic. Wildcats were down 10-3; they score with 0:02 left-- instead of going to OT by kicking the PAT, they try for two points and the win, in a game that had been devoid of any semblance of offense for 3.5 hours.

I think Pat Fitzgerald is a terrific coach but I hated this decision- it tells his kids they aren't as good as Michigan when for this year at least, they probably are. This is not a second guess; was yelling at my TV as it happened live and I had no stake in who won the game. It cheated the kids out of playing it out the right way. Too bad.

1) If you care about such things, over is now 23-8 in NFL night games this year.

NFL Opening Line Report: Colts favored versus visiting Patriots

A few weeks ago, New England was 2-2 SU following a 41-14 whitewashing at the hands of the host Kansas City Chiefs, and on national TV, no less. Some were wondering if maybe the Patriots’ better days were behind them.

Well, apparently not. Tom Brady & Co. are coming off their bye week with five consecutive victories (4-1 ATS) and lead the AFC at 7-2 SU (5-4 ATS). Prior to the bye, the Pats thumped defending AFC champion Denver 43-21 as a 3-point home underdog on Nov. 2.

New England will be back in prime time for a Sunday night matchup at Indianapolis (6-3 SU, 7-2 ATS), which has also rebounded nicely after losing its first two games, going on a 6-1 SU and ATS tear. The Colts are also fresh off their bye week, after ripping the host New York Giants 40-24 laying 3 points on Nov. 3.

John Lester, senior lines manager for bookmaker.eu, made the Colts a 2.5-point favorite.

“I’d say it’s hard to bet against the Pats right now given their recent success, but Indy is pretty hot too,” Lester said. “Still, I’m expecting this number to come down at some point.”

Seattle Seahawks (-1) at Kansas City Chiefs

Seattle hasn’t looked anything like the team that rolled Peyton Manning and Denver in the Super Bowl. On Sunday, the Seahawks (6-3 SU, 4-5 ATS) had their hands full with the New York Giants until putting up 21 fourth-quarter points to win 38-17 as a 9-point home fave.

Meanwhile, Kansas City is quietly getting its season back on track, having won its last four in a row and six of its last seven SU and ATS. The Chiefs (6-3 SU, 7-2 ATS) edged Buffalo 17-13 catching 2 points on the road Sunday.

“The Seahawks get a taste of their own medicine, as Arrowhead Stadium still provides a great home-field edge,” Lester said. “With two salty defenses on the field, points will come at a premium. This is a tough game to handicap in my opinion, but I’d lean toward the Chiefs.”

Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals

Arizona might seem like this season’s surprise team, with its 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS record, but recall the Cardinals won 10 games last year, narrowly missing the playoffs. That said, the job could get a lot harder after quarterback Carson Palmer went down with a knee injury in Sunday’s 31-14 win over St. Louis – a game the Cards, 7-point favorites, didn’t lead until the fourth quarter

Detroit (7-2 SU, 5-4 ATS) leads the NFC North after posting four consecutive wins (2-2 ATS), including Sunday’s 20-16 victory laying 3 points against visiting Miami.

“A couple of sparkling records, but I don’t think either team is as good as their win column suggests,” Lester said. “We know what we’re getting with Drew Stanton if Palmer can’t play, but we’ll hold off on sending out a line until Palmer’s status is confirmed. If he’s out, the Cardinals will be very short chalk or a pick ‘em.”

Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers

The Mark Sanchez era in Philly is well underway, while quarterback Nick Foles recuperates from an injured collarbone. Sanchez and the Eagles (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS) still have some work to do before focusing on the Packers, as they wrap up Week 10 in a Monday night game at home against Carolina.

Green Bay (6-3 SU, 5-3-1 ATS) rebounded from a blowout loss at New Orleans by boatracing the Chicago Bears in the Sunday night game. The Packers led 42-0 at halftime – on six Aaron Rodgers TD passes – en route to a 55-14 shellacking as a 9.5-point favorite.

“I’m very interested to see how Mark Sanchez performs on Monday night, but as I’ve said before, he should be able to limit mistakes in Chip Kelly’s offense,” Lester said. “If nothing major happens personnel- or performance-wise, then we’ll make the Packers between 4- and 6-point favorites.”

NHL roundup: Sharks' Roussel fined for punch

Dallas Stars forward Antoine Roussel was fined $5,376.34 on Monday for punching San Jose Sharks defenseman Justin Braun during Saturday's game.

Roussel was assessed a two-minute penalty for roughing and a 10-minute game misconduct at 18:51 of the third period.

The scuffle started when Roussel knocked down Sharks goalie Alex Stalock while trying to bat the puck out of the zone. That brought out a group of players along the boards. As Braun was being held back by an official, Roussel punched Braun.

The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

---The Detroit Red Wings recalled goaltender Tom McCollum from the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins and assigned goalie Petr Mrazek to the Griffins, the team announced. McCollum, 24, re-signed with the Red Wings during the offseason after spending the 2013-14 season on an AHL contract.

---The Montreal Canadiens assigned Rene Bourque to Hamilton of the American Hockey League after the veteran forward cleared waivers.

Bourque has two assists and six penalty minutes in 11 games with Montreal this season.

---The Toronto Maple Leafs reassigned center Sam Carrick, left winger Josh Leivo and defenseman Stuart Percy to the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies.

---The Calgary Flames recalled forward Max Reinhart from Adirondack Flames of the American Hockey League. Reinhart has played in 19 games with Calgary over the past two seasons, registering one goal and four assists.

Center Max Reinhart was in Calgary's lineup for the first time this season on Monday.

---The New York Rangers recalled forward Jesper Fast from the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) and assigned defenseman Conor Allen and forward Ryan Malone to Hartford, the team announced.

---Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tim Gleason was back in the lineup Monday after missing time with an injury.

The Hurricanes called up defenseman Michel Jordan from Charlotte, but he was scratched for what would have been his NHL debut.

---New Jersey Devils left wing Mike Cammalleri returned to the lineup after missing six games with a head injury.

---Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug returned Monday after missing four games with a broken finger.

Kings to add D McBain

The Los Angeles Kings will sign free agent defenseman Jamie McBain on Tuesday to shore up their blue line.

Kings general manager Dean Lombardi told the Los Angeles Times that the move won't become official until Tuesday because the team needs another day to clear cap room to add McBain to the roster.

The deal will be worth $500,000 for one year.

The Kings were left with five defensemen last weekend because they couldn't call up a player from the minor leagues due to the cap issues. Robyn Regehr is out with an injury and Slava Voynov remains suspended after his arrest earlier this year.

McBain went to training camp with the Arizona Coyotes but didn't land a spot on their roster and was released. He joined the Kings on a pro tryout contract and has played in five games for the Manchester Monarchs in the American Hockey League, scoring one goal and contributing two assists.

Prudential Center has been Wild's kryptonite

The Prudential Center has not been friendly territory for the Minnesota Wild.

The Wild are 1-5-1 SU in their last seven meetings with the New Jersey Devils in the Garden State. They'll face off once again in New Jersey's barn Tuesday.

The line for the game is currently off the board.

Isles cashing Under tickets with ease

The New York Islanders have recently gone on a tear for bettors banking on low totals.

Through Monday, the Under has gone 5-0 in the Isles' last five games. John Tavares' group take on Matt Duchene and the Colorado Avalanche in New York Tuesday.

The Avs are currently +130 road dogs on the moneyline for the contest.
