Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Cavaliers 97, Hornets 88-- Cleveland led 21-0 in this mismatch.

-- Pacers 110, Lakers 91-- Indiana had lost 8 in row; they were up 33 at half.

-- "They don't know how to lead and organize and set a culture for doing what you have to do to play winning NFL football." Bernie Kosar, on the Browns

-- Nick Foles isn't cleared to play yet; Mark Sanchez starts again this week for the Eagles at Washington.

-- Chris Bosh is out a few weeks, Josh McRoberts might be done for the year; not the best of times for the 11-13 Miami Heat.

-- Aaron Kromer shouldn't have said what he said, but he was right.

**********

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

13) Cowboys’ RB DeMarco Murray broke his left hand, probably won't play this week; he was on pace to carry ball 401 times this season, which means he was headed to Jamal Anderson-type burnout. 401 carries is too many; he could use a rest.

12) Will Muschamp has been hired as Auburn’s defensive coordinator, but he won’t be working the Tigers’ bowl game; why? He’s more valuable recruiting right now than coaching in a meaningless bowl.

Signing Day is in early February which means that recruiting season overlaps with bowl preparations. Bruce Feldman wrote an excellent book about this a few years ago; if you like college football, Meat Market is well worth your time.

11) Miami Hurricanes haven’t won a bowl game since 2006, which seems odd.

10) San Diego State is playing Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl; Aztecs won their last eight games against service academies and they play Air Force (best of the academy teams) every year.

9) Bryce Harper signed a 2-year deal with Washington for $7.5, couple days after he stiffed the team's fans by not showing up at FanFest, where obviously enough, fans can come and meet players and buy tickets and stuff. Cruddy move by Harper; shouldn’t stiff the fans.

8) Speaking of the Nationals, why are they so eager to unload Jordan Zimmerman? Good young pitchers are hard to find these days.

7) Miami Dolphins were outscored 48-3 in second half of their last two games, news that makes Jim Harbaugh’s agent smile. Price for Harbaugh goes up every week.

6) Odd stat of the day; Green Bay Packers were outscored in second half in seven of their last eight games- they’re also 1-4 on artificial turf this season.

5) Daniel Snyder bought the Redskins in 1999; since then, he’s employed eight head coaches and 16 starting QBs. In 16 years. Yikes. Snyder must be some kind of financial wizard; he had enough money to buy an NFL team when he was 34, and I’m pretty sure he made his own money rather than inheriting it.

4) Not to be outdone, Cleveland Browns have had 21 starting QBs since ’99, but they were an expansion team in ’99, and they figure to be settling in now on Johnny Manziel as their starter the next few years. At least they hope they are.

3) Burt Reynolds is selling off some of his stuff to pay bills; the Trans Am he drove in Smokey and the Bandit brought back $450K last week.

2) Lakers are 8-17 this season, but 7-8 since Nick Young returned to the lineup. Young is a loose cannon, but a loose cannon that can make shots and he’s helped take some heat off of Kobe Bryant down the stretch in games.

1) After watching a few episodes of Storage Wars, I’m guessing it can be annoying to live with an auctioneer; how would you ever get the last word in?

NFL Opening Line Report: Cowboys open as field goal faves versus Colts

They say there are two certainties in life: Death and taxes.

Well, here’s a third: Somebody is going to win the dreadful NFC South, and that someone will have a home playoff game, despite posting a sub-.500 record.

Week 16 “features” a contest that will go a long way toward determining which team will secure that berth, when the Atlanta Falcons (5-9 SU, 6-8 ATS) travel to the Big Easy to face the New Orleans Saints (5-8 SU and ATS).

The Falcons “played” their way into contention by losing five in a row earlier in the season, winning two in a row after that, then losing three of their last four. On Sunday, Atlanta fell to Pittsburgh 27-20 as a 3-point home underdog.

Meanwhile, New Orleans still has some work to do this week, with the Monday night game at Chicago. The Saints enter that contest on a 1-4 SU and ATS slide. Both the Saints and Bears could end up losing the division title to equally dreadful Carolina (5-8-1 SU, 7-7 ATS).

John Lester, senior lines manager for bookmaker.eu, said he’ll wait to see how the Saints look tonight before setting the number, but expects Drew Brees and Co. to open as touchdown favorites.

“The division berth could be on the line for New Orleans, and possibly Atlanta oddly enough, so this is a big one,” Lester said, adding the status of Falcons wideout Julio Jones – who missed Sunday’s game with a hip injury -- looms large. “The Falcons are obviously a different team without Julio Jones. The Saints are on a short week, but the home team in this series seemingly wins every time. If nothing major happens Monday night and Jones is out, the Saints will be around touchdown favorites.”

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals (+7.5)

Defending Super Bowl champion Seattle is rounding into playoff form and still has a shot to catch surprising Arizona for the NFC West title. The Seahawks (10-4 SU, 7-6-1 ATS) stifled San Francisco 17-7 on Sunday, pushing as a 10-point home favorite while posting their fourth consecutive SU win (3-0-1 ATS) and seventh in the last eight games.

Arizona (11-3 SU, 10-4 ATS), tied for the best SU record in the league and No. 1 against the oddsmakers, is now down to third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley. But the Cards’ defense helped them fend off St. Louis 12-6 last Thursday.

“We’re going to hold off on releasing a line for this game until the Cardinals’ quarterback situation becomes clearer,” Lester said. “We assume it’s going to be Lindley, but stranger things have happened. There is a drop-off between Drew Stanton and Lindley. I think we’ll probably open Seattle between 6- and 7-point chalk.”

Indianapolis Colts at Dallas Cowboys (-3)

Indy (10-4 SU, 9-4-1 ATS) clinched the AFC South with a 17-10 victory over Houston on Sunday, pushing as 7-point home chalk in its fourth consecutive SU win. But the Colts still have more to play for, with an outside shot at the AFC’s No. 2 seed and a first-round playoff bye.

Dallas (10-4 SU, 8-6 ATS) got out to a 21-0 lead at Philadelphia in the Sunday night game, gave all of it back and more in falling behind 24-21, then got back on track to claim a 38-27 victory as a 3.5-point pup. That gave the Cowboys the inside track to the NFC East title.

“This is as tough of a game to handicap as any on the board in Week 16, in my opinion,” Lester said. “Dallas got the big win against Philly, but it can’t afford to lose even once with the way the playoff picture is shaping up. The Colts are still playing for something, but they don’t need it nearly as much. We always get a ton of action on the Cowboys.”

Denver Broncos (-3.5) at Cincinnati Bengals

Defending AFC champ Denver hasn’t looked pretty lately, but has won four in a row SU (2-2 ATS), including Sunday’s 22-10 victory laying 4 points at San Diego. The Broncos (11-3 SU, 7-7 ATS) are tied with New England for the AFC’s best mark, but hold the No. 2 playoff slot since they lost to the Patriots.

Cincinnati (9-4-1, 7-6-1) sits atop a crowded AFC North after getting a key win Sunday at Cleveland, rolling over hapless Johnny Manziel and the Browns 30-0 catching 2.5 points.

“As I mentioned last week, the Denver defense is starting to come around,” Lester said. “Peyton Manning doesn’t have to throw the ball 40 to 50 times when the defense is playing well. Both teams can move up in the standings, so there’s a lot left to play for. I expect the wiseguys will be on the home dog and the under.”

NFL line watch: Jump on the Bengals now

Game to bet on now

Denver at Cincinnati (+3.5)

All decent teams deserve a long look when they get points playing at home, and the half-point here is pretty enticing. The public is hammering the Broncos 3-1 in early betting, but the sharps might be planning a late play on the Bengals. And why not? Cincinnati has won four of five and is right in the thick of a crazy race in the AFC North, and the Bengals need this one badly to set up a potential winner-take-all battle with Pittsburgh in Week 17. Denver has won four in a row of its own, but fissures are starting to show in an offense that has been south of 30 points in three straight games. Take the points now on this one. PS -- The long-term weather forecast calls for light snow and temps in the low 30s, and we know how much Peyton Manning likes bad weather.

Game to wait on

New York Giants at St. Louis (-5)

The Rams are 6-8 and out and their playoff chances were burned at the stake when QB Sam Bradford ‘s ACL was torn last August, but what the St. Louis defense has done since Thanksgiving is nothing short of remarkable – 12 straight quarters without giving up a touchdown. The Giants have won a couple in a row against weak competition (Tennessee, Washington), but New York has also long since cashed in its chips on this season. New York has not beaten a decent defensive team all season, though. Figuring that New York money through the middle of the week might knock this number down a half-point or so, so if you like the Rams you might find -4.5 later on.

Total to watch

New England at New York Jets (47)

This is a playoff game for the Jets, who need at minimum a competitive game to have even a puncher’s chance of bringing fun-loving Rex Ryan back as coach, but even a win probably won’t get it done. The Jets have had success in the past clogging the middle against Brady’s receivers and bringing up-the-middle pressure, and the Patriots don’t do too much outside the numbers. Plus, NE likes its ground game now with LeGarrette Blount and Jonas Gray. Another factor in play is New England’s tendency to start slow on the road (Green Bay, San Diego), resulting in scoring in the low 20s. The Under is worth a look here.
