Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

NFL trends with Week 13 upon us..........

-- Vikings covered nine of their last ten games.

-- Patriots are 7-0 in game following their last seven losses.

-- Ravens are 2-10-2 vs spread in their last 14 games.

-- 49ers are 0-5 on road (1-4 vs spread), losing by average of 36-14

-- Denver covered nine of last ten as an AFC West road favorite.

-- Falcons are 0-7 vs spread in their last seven games.

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here......

13) We've talked about how fine a line there is between winning and losing in the NFL. here's an example. Mike Smith coached Falcons for seven years; in the first five years, he was 28-11 in games decided by 7 or less points. The last two years, he was 5-11 in games decided by 7 or less, and he got fired.

The bounce of a ball, here or there, an injury or two, an official's call.......

12) NFC East teams are 9-17 vs spread this year in non-divisional games.

11) Jets play a "road game" against the Giants this week; they also played one over in London against the Dolphins, which means they're really playing only six true road games this season, a pretty big advantage in short season of 16 games.

10) Davidson won't retire Steph Curry's number because he hasn't graduated from the school. They had a great player named Mike Maloy in the late 60's; same thing with him, he isn't in the school's Hall of Fame because he didn't graduate.

9) Will Muschamp made $1.6M this year to be the defensive coordinator at Auburn; Tigers are 6-6, Muschamp is trying to get a head coaching job but even if he doesn't get one, it looks like he won't be coming back to Auburn next year. Boosters aren't fond of shelling out huge money when the ballclub goes 6-6.

8) Arizona's big man Kaleb Tarczewski is out 4-6 weeks with a stress fracture in his foot, bad news for a thin, inexperienced Wildcat squad.

7) NCAA President Mark Emmert was chancellor at LSU when they signed Nick Saban as football coach in 1999- they gave him $1.2M, a huge amount back then.

6) Pittsburgh Pirates won 98 games this year without one complete game by a pitcher, most wins ever by team without a CG-- previous record was 83 wins.

5) In his last three games, DeAndre Jordan is 17-54 on the foul line. In the game before that, he didn't take a foul shot in 25 minutes; what were the Pelicans thinking?

4) Packers 27, Lions 23-- Green Bay was dead in this game several times, but Detroit wouldn't let them lose. After leading 17-0, Lions gagged game away in epic fashion, as they rushed only three guys on last play, giving Rodgers time to chuck ball down field 62 yards where Richard Rodgers made Motown miserable with the walk-off TD.

3) UCLA 87, Kentucky 77-- Bruins trailed 41-7 at half in LY's game; they led 9-2 in this one and were never headed, as Wildcats lose for first time this year. UCLA is 5-3, from everything we read/hear, there are lot of teams who could win a national title as there are no one or two dominant teams like last year.

2) Jim Boeheim's 9-game suspension starts Saturday-- he is away from the team the whole time, so pushing the suspension up to now is a big help for Syracuse- he'll be back after three ACC games, instead of nine. He'll miss games against stiff teams like Montana State, Colgate, Colgate and Texas Southern and will be back for games against Duke and Notre Dame.

1) Toronto Blue Jays put out their 2016 calendar recently, but one small problem; David Price is on the cover, the same David Price who just signed with the Red Sox for $217M over seven years. Whoops.

NHL roundup: Hoffman heroics help Sens win on OT

OTTAWA -- There was less than a second left in regulation time Thursday night when the Ottawa Senators' Mike Hoffman took a pass from Erik Karlsson and wired a shot off the goal post.

Thirty seconds into overtime on an identical play, Hoffman made no mistake.

Hoffman's heroics upstaged the Blackhawks Patrick Kane, who had a goal and two assists to stretch his consecutive games point scoring streak to 21 games, tying a franchise record set by Bobby Hull.

Kane's linemates, Artem Anisimov and Artemi Panarin, had the other Chicago goals.

Along with the pair by Hoffman that gives him nine goals in his last eight games, Bobby Ryan had a goal and two assists for the Senators, while Mark Stone had the other Ottawa goal. Karlsson had three assists.

The Senators' Craig Anderson was a busy man, stopping 35 shots. The Blackhawks' Corey Crawford made 23 saves.

Wild 1, Maple Leafs 0

SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- Matt Dumba scored the game's lone goal, and Devan Dubnyk made 28 saves to win a goaltending battle in Minnesota's victory over Toronto at Xcel Energy Center.

Toronto's James Reimer shook off the rust from a four-game layoff due to injury and displayed the form which earned him a 2.07 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage in 15 prior appearances. Reimer, who made 27 saves in his return, withstood a barrage of Minnesota scoring chances in the opening period to keep his team in it.

Avalanche 2, Rangers 1

NEW YORK -- Matt Duchene scored his 14th goal and Semyon Varlamov turned aside 24 shots as Colorado defeated the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

Devils 5, Hurricanes 1

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Jeff Cammalleri scored twice and two of his New Jersey teammates scored for the first time this season in ringing up victory against Carolina at PNC Arena.

Brad Malone scored for Carolina, which lost its third game in a row, and Eddie Lack made 22 saves.

Capitals 3, Canadiens 2

MONTREAL -- T.J. Oshie scored twice to lift Washington over Montreal at the Bell Centre.

Tom Wilson also scored for Washington. Lars Eller and Brian Flynn connected for the Canadiens.
