Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six of the more interesting college football games this weekend.......

-- Florida State @ Clemson-- When was last time Seminoles were a 12-point dog?

-- TCU @ Oklahoma State-- Horned Frogs lost last two visits here.

-- Cincinnati @ Houston-- Unbeaten Cougars lost to Cincy last two years.

-- Michigan State @ Nebraska-- Tricky road game for the Spartans?

-- Arizona State @ Washington State- Average total in last four meetings: 79.0.

-- LSU @ Alabama-- Primetime battle of titans in SEC West.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud......

13) Why the Royals won the World Series: they scored 40 runs in the postseason from the 8th inning on-- no other team scored more than five.

12) Tough year for college football coaches: Frank Beamer retires at Virginia Tech-- he built the Hokies up from practically nothing...........Norm Chow was canned out at Hawai'i, where it is very hard to win. Lot of head coaching jobs (10?) are open; many of them are in places where it is difficult to win consistently.

11) FOX's Mike Pereira was saying Sunday that LY, 38.4% of replays overturned the calls on the field. This year, that number is 45%; obvious errors are only thing that should be overturned. Re-officiating the plays is not what replay is for.

10) In their last six games, Bears allowed three special teams TDs, two more on offense; their last four games were all decided by 3 or less points.

9) Woman dressed up as a cat rings my doorbell at 2:15 Saturday afternoon, when I answer, she says "Trick or Treat" then whips out an ID badge and tries to get me to change some setting on my utilities bill that would allow her employer to make more money. She got a Reese's peanut butter cup and a door closed in her face. Oy.

8) Knicks drafted Jimmer Fredette in the D-League draft; not sure why; he is 26, can really shoot the ball, is a terrific person, but couldn't guard a lamp post. Not sure what their motivation is: to build up the D-League team, or would they bring him up to the Knicks as a situational shooter?

7) Refs from Miami-Duke game Saturday got suspended; Miami had 23 penalties for 194 yards-- I actually triple-checked that number, since I had never seen penalty numbers that high before. Ironic thing is that Miami was totally undisciplined with so many penalties, but they won the game because the refs refused to call a 24th penalty for an obvious illegal block on the eight-lateral kick return that won the game.

6) Panthers 29, Colts 26 OT-- Colts rallied from down 23-6 to force OT on a rainy, dismal night in Charlotte, after Carolina missed PAT that would've made it 24-6.

Around 11:00, activists protesting Bank of America’s financing of a liquefied natural gas facility in Maryland suspended themselves from the upper deck of the stadium in Charlotte and were taken away by the authorities. Hope it was worth it. Stadium is sponsored by Bank of America, which is why the activists were so active.

5) Lebron James went over 25,000 career points last night in Philly; hard to believe this is his 13th year in the NBA. Lets give the guy credit; as famous as he is and you never hear a bad word about him off the floor. Good for him.

4) When was last time an NFL team's highest paid player was a center? They said on TV Sunday that the Oakland Raiders' highest paid guy is center Rodney Hudson. Someone should call Derek Carr's agent and clue him in on this, though he is probably still on his rookie contract. Raiders outscored last two opponents 51-12 in first half.

3) Hazards of college coaching: a football coach obviously entrusts his team to the QB, the most important player on the team. Kids transfer if they don't play, so not a lot of great backups out there.

Missouri is having a dismal season because QB Maty Mauk turned out to be a bad guy off the field-- I was told in Las Vegas that the rumor is the kid is involved with drugs, which is why Mizzou suspended him (twice).

2) I got a phone call Monday from Ben Carson's political campaign; he is running for President.....in 2016. A year from today. No more phone calls, please

1) That said, it is Election Day today; get out and vote!!!! But not for President, that is next year. Lot of local elections this year-- long time ago, politicians used to come around and campaign and give you stuff with candidate's name on them-- pens, pencils, combs, stuff like that. Why did this stop? Free stuff is very persuasive.

Oddsmakers size up undefeated teams for NFL Week 9 odds

Peyton Manning faces his former club in Week 9 when the Broncos travel to play the Colts Sunday.

As the eighth week of the NFL season winds down, the Carolina Panthers are still unbeaten, a stunning fact given that they won just seven games all of last season – and made the playoffs! That’s how bad the NFC South was last year.

Carolina (6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS) has definitely improved, but still has some work to do this week to stay perfect. The Panthers close out Week 8 hosting the Monday night game against the flailing Indianapolis Colts, then turn their attention to a big game on the Week 9 docket, as they host Green Bay.

The Packers (6-0, 5-1 ATS) also entered Week 8 among the ranks of the unbeaten, but on Sunday night at Denver, they couldn’t get it going offensively in a 29-10 loss as 2.5-point road chalk.

With Carolina still to play and Green Bay in the late Sunday game, Bookmaker.eu senior lines manager John Lester had to hold off on the line for Sunday’s showdown.

“We won’t open a line until Monday night,” Lester said. “The squares will be lining up to grab the Packers, but I expect we’ll see a long look at the Panthers from the sharps, depending on what the number is. This should be a fantastic ‘measuring stick’ matchup.”

John Avello, executive director of race and sports for Wynn Las Vegas, said the schedule makers didn’t help Green Bay, which is on the road against another unbeaten squad.

“The Packers had trouble moving the ball against the Broncos, and it doesn't get much easier here,” said Avello, noting Denver’s defense ranks No. 1 in allowing 16.0 ppg, and Carolina is 10th at 18.3. “The Panthers come off a Monday night game, but they also remember the beating they took at Lambeau Field last year.”

Indeed, the Packers led 38-3 before backing off in a 38-17 victory laying 6.5 points at home.

Philadelphia Eagles (-1.5) at Dallas Cowboys

Back in Week 2, Dallas lost star quarterback Tony Romo against Philadelphia, but still mustered a 20-10 road victory as a 7-point underdog to improve to 2-0 SU. It’s been much rougher sledding since then, and Romo isn’t due back until at least Week 11.

On Sunday, the Cowboys (2-5 SU and ATS) lost a 13-12 slog to Seattle, though they at least cashed as 4.5-point home pups.

Philadelphia (3-4 SU and ATS) is well-rested for the Sunday night game, coming off its bye week. The Eagles appeared to be pulling things together with a pair of blowout home victories over New Orleans and the New York Giants, but they fell to Carolina 27-16 as 3-point underdog on Oct. 25.

Avello was nonplussed by either team.

“The Cowboys have two wins, but have an excuse after what I saw this past weekend. This season could be over by the time Romo returns,” he said. “The Eagles are playing better but far from where they want to be.”

Despite both teams’ issues, Lester expects a good game, with both teams still legitimately in the NFC East race.

“This is a game both teams desperately need, so it should be classic Eagles-Cowboys,” Lester said. “Dallas continues to play respectable ball, and unlike (against Seattle), Philadelphia is certainly a defense the Cowboys can put up points against.

“I’m not sure what to expect with Philadelphia coming off a bye, but I haven’t been overly impressed with this team at any point. Early money came in on the Eagles, but I know we’ll see some big ‘dog money at some point.”

Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts (N/A)

It’s a rematch of a 2014 divisional playoff game, with Denver hoping to avenge a 24-13 upset loss as a 9.5-point home chalk. The Broncos (7-0 SU, 5-2 ATS) finally found some offense to supplement their tremendous defense, knocking off previously unbeaten Green Bay 29-10 Sunday night as 2.5-point home underdogs.

Indianapolis, meanwhile, looks nothing like the team that beat Denver in the playoffs. The Colts (3-4 SU, 2-5 ATS) wrap up Week 8 in the Monday nighter at Carolina, after back-to-back losses to New England (34-27 getting eight points on the road) and New Orleans (27-21 laying 5.5 points at home).

The game again pits Peyton Manning against the Colts, with whom he spent the bulk of his career before moving to Denver.

“It’s a high-profile matchup with all the storylines, so we’ll have no shortage of wagers with this one,” Lester said. “The Colts are going to have a very difficult time keeping Andrew Luck upright, and if they can’t, Denver is going to roll. Again, we’ll wait until Monday night to open a line, but expect the Broncos to be short chalk.”

Said Avello, “Peyton Manning is very familiar with the surroundings. I don't know what to make of the Colts, but I'm waiting to see what I thought was going to be a legitimate contender in the AFC.”

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (-10.5)

Both teams will be on a short week in the battle for Ohio bragging rights, to be played under the Thursday night spotlight. Cincinnati (7-0 SU, 6-0-1 ATS) stayed unbeaten SU and nearly perfect at the betting window by rallying to beat host Pittsburgh 16-10 in a pick ‘em game Sunday.

Cleveland (2-6 SU, 4-4 ATS) had a 20-10 halftime lead against Arizona on Sunday, then didn’t score the rest of the game in a 34-20 loss catching seven points at home.

“The Browns’ schedule has been very difficult this year, and it sure doesn't lighten up here,” Avello said. “They have split a game off the Bengals each of the last three seasons. Their biggest problem is they just can't finish a game.”

Lester noted Cleveland’s injuries – cornerback Joe Haden and safety Donte Whitner were both hurt Sunday – could be the key.

“If the Browns are missing half of their secondary, they don’t have much of a chance,” Lester said. “There is a big gap between these two teams in our ratings, and an even bigger gap in the eyes of the public, so we had to be generous with the Cincinnati side. Hopefully we can attract some ‘dog money with this number.”

Football bettors must react quickly to these NFL Week 9 odds

If you're jumping on the Patriots' Revenge Tour, you may want to scoop up their spread vs. Washington before it gets even bigger.

Spread to bet now

Washington Redskins at New England Patriots (-14)

The good news for the Redskins is that no one affiliated with the team had anything derogatory to say about the Patriots’ involvement in “Deflategate”. The bad news is that the Patriots don’t care, and will put 60 up on you if they can.

New England is 7-0 and everyone else in the AFC East has three losses, but don’t think for a minute that either Brady or Belichick plan to take their feet off the accelerator. Bettors are aware of this, and early money backs New England by a 3-to-2 margin – even with the two-touchdown spread. The Revenge Tour continues unabated, so if you’re like the majority of bettors and like the Pats to cover, best get money down quickly before books tack on another half-point.

Spread to wait on

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (-10.5)

The Bengals look like they have the AFC North locked up, sitting at 7-0 after their win over Pittsburgh Sunday. But the public has shown some skepticism on this game despite the fact that the Browns (2-6) are again on a trip to nowhere and the Bengals are the only team in the league that is undefeated (6-0-1) ATS this season.

If you like the Bengals, might be wise to hang on a bit and see if there’s enough Browns tug to drag the number down to -10. Even on a short week, the Bengals should move the ball against a Browns defense that ranks near the bottom of the league in most categories.

Total to watch

Oakland Raiders at Pittsburgh Steelers (48)

Looks like we’ll never know what the Steeler offense could have done this year. Just when they get QB Ben Roethlisberger back, RB Le’Veon Bell goes down for the season. That puts some strain on the defense to keep Pittsburgh in games, but the defense has been up to the task.

While overall the Steelers rank low, they are sixth in the league in the only defensive stat that really counts – points allowed. One thing to consider: with Bell out, Oakland’s solid defense against the run will force the Steelers to the air far more than they are comfortable doing.

Islanders C Tavares day-to-day with illness

New York Islanders captain John Tavares is day-to-day because of an illness, coach Jack Capuano said Monday.

Capuano said the center was being checked out by doctors Monday.

Tavares, 25, did not play either of the Islanders' weekend games, a 3-2 shootout loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday and a 2-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.

Tavares has recorded 11 points (five goals, six assists) this season.

Pavel Datsyuk, Detroit - Mid Nov

NHL roundup: Blackhawks rally past Kings

CHICAGO -- Teuvo Teravainen's goal midway through the third period put the Blackhawks ahead, and center Artem Anisimov's short-handed goal sealed Chicago's 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.

The Kings' seven-game winning streak ended.

Anisimov's fifth goal of the season came on a breakaway with 1:33 left in the contest at the United Center. He faked Kings goalie Jonathan Quick to the left and sent a wrist shot past Quick's right side.

Teravainen's third goal of the season at 9:02 put the Blackhawks ahead and sent them on their way to snapping a two-game losing streak.

Maple Leafs 4, Stars 1

TORONTO -- Joffrey Lupul scored two goals, and Toronto finally earned its first home victory.

Goalie James Reimer, in net in the only other time the Leafs won this season, provided Toronto with staunch play. He stopped Dallas' Valeri Nichushkin on a penalty shot in the third period. Reimer repelled 43 of 44 shots.

Brad Boyes and Morgan Rielly had the other Toronto goals, while Jamie Benn scored for Dallas.

Canucks 4, Flyers 1

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Bo Horvat scored one goal and assisted on another as Vancouver defeated fading Philadelphia.

Rookie Jake Virtanen recorded his first NHL goal, and Jannik Hansen also scored for the Canucks. Matt Bartkowski scored into an empty net with 53 seconds left.

Claude Giroux scored for the Flyers, who lost their fourth consecutive game (0-3-1). The loss also was Philadelphia's fourth on the road (1-3-1).
