Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six of the more intriguing college football games for this Rivalry Weekend

-- TCU @ Texas-- Have Horned Frogs ever been favored in Austin?

-- Arkansas @ Missouri- Hogs take their shutout streak on the road.

-- Arizona State @ Arizona-- Best-ever matchup in this rivalry?

-- Auburn @ Alabama-- Been a long 365 days for Tide fans.

-- South Carolina @ Clemson-- Pretty good day when this is a noon game.

-- Mississippi State @ Ole Miss-- Rebels got shut out last week.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

13) Bills 38, Jets 3-- Tank job by the Jets, who seem disinterested. Bills didn't even practice Tuesday-Thursday- they've won two games in Detroit this season. ESPN has to be thrilled with next Monday night's Dolphin-Jet matchup.

12) Ravens 34, Saints 27-- Saints are 4-7 and tied for first in NFC South; they're not playing well, obviously. Just finished 3-game homestand with three straight losses. AFC North teams are 10-1-1 SU vs NFC South squads this year.

11) My nomination for two worst referees in NFL: Carl Cheffers and Jeff Triplette. There is often chaos in Cheffers games; his crew also calls the most penalties in the league. Triplette once blinded a guy (seriously, he did) by throwing a penalty flag and hitting the guy in his eye.

10) Macy's is opening at 6pm Thanksgiving night to beat the Black Friday rush; must be fun to work there. Thanksgiving is still a national holiday, right?

9) Red Sox gave Hanley Ramirez $88M for four years, Pablo Sandoval $100M for five years. Problem is, neither one of these guys pitches; Ramirez isn't exactly durable. Sandoval figures to slide into the DH role when David Ortiz retires.

8) Those signings dropped the Red Sox from 25-1 to 15-1 to win the World Series.

7) Last Super Bowl champ to win a playoff game the next season? 2005 Patriots.

6) Average over/under in the NFL, the last five years:
42.8--43.7--44.9--45.7--46.2. Its gone up four years in a row.

5) Patriots-Packers total opened at 58, the highest NFL total since Christmas Day in 2004, a Chiefs-Raiders game.

4) Eastern Washington 88, Indiana 86-- Huge win for the Big Sky conference.

3) Pitcher Bronson Arroyo had never been on DL before last season; he had Tommy John surgery this year, which made him decide to keep playing longer.

2) Ryan Mallett era didn't last long in Houston; he tore a pectoral muscle, is done for the year. He's a free agent after the season, but is now a suspect, not a prospect.

1) There is a College Basketball Hall of Fame that is separate from the Hall of Fame in Springfield; not sure who makes their selections, but Norm Stewart, Gene Keady are in and Jerry Tarkanian isn't. How is that possible? Wake up people!!!!

Alex Ovechkin, Washington - Ques Wed

Ovechkin is questionable to play Wednesday against the Islanders after suffering an upper-body injury in practice.

Avs turn to Berra in net against Coyotes

Reto Berra will be between the pipes for the Colorado Avalanche Tuesday against the the Arizona Coyotes in the desert.

The Swiss native is 2-2-1 with a 3.16 GAA and a .895 save percentage in five games this season. The Avs have struggled to build off of a strong 2013-14 campaign, going 7-9-5 in their first 21 contests.

Books have the 'Yotes as -135 home moneyline faves with an O/U of 5.5.

Struggling Oilers send Fasth to crease vs. Stars

In the midst of an ugly four game losing skid, Edmonton Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins will give the goaltending reigns to Viktor Fasth for his squad's meeting with the Dallas Stars in the Lone Star State Tuesday.

Fasth is sporting a 2-4-1 with a 3.37 GAA and a .890 save percentage in six appearances this year.

The Stars are presently listed as heavy -180 favorites for the affair.

Kings seek to end road woes in Nashville

The cozy confines of Staples Center have been kind to the Los Angeles Kings so far this season, but it's been a much different story for the reigning Stanley Cup champions away from Tinsel Town.

The Kings (11-6-4 straight up) have won 10 games at home, but are just 1-4-3 on the road. Darryl Sutter's crew will try and buck that trend Tuesday when they travel to the Music City for a matchup with the Nashville Predators.

The Preds are another team that thoroughly enjoys home cooking - posting a 7-1-1 record in Tennessee. Oddsmakers have the black and silver as +113 road dogs for the matchup.
