    Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

    — Boise State is 8-4-1 vs spread in its last 13 road games.

    — Missouri covered only one of its last six road games.

    — Oregon State covered one of its last nine Pac-12 games.

    — Boston College is 16-3 vs spread in its last 19 regular season games.

    — UL-Lafayette covered six of its last seven games.

    — Fresno State is 18-4-2 ATS since Tedford became coach.


    **********

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

    13) Annual tradition here in not-so-beautiful upstate New York. When it snows outside, and it is snowing now, I get on the Interweb and price condos in Las Vegas, where snow is merely a rumor.

    Snow is the only bad part of living here; nothing is quite as much fun as getting up on a step-ladder to sweep the snow off my satellite dish.

    12) Last year at this time the Miami Marlins sold off their whole outfield; Stanton, Ozuna and Yelich. Wonder what the odds were that of those three guys, Christian Yelich would be the MVP this season? He had a great year, leading Milwaukee to a playoff berth.

    11) San Diego Union-Tribune writer John Maffei is the only one out of 30 voters who didn’t vote for Jacob deGrom for the NL Cy Young Award. Mr Maffei values W-L record as a stat, so deGrom’s 10-9 record for a dismal Mets team didn’t impress him much.

    10) UConn 83, Syracuse 76— Huskies made 12-21 behind arc; Syracuse was playing without G Howard; things aren’t as easy when you play away from home.

    9) DePaul 72, Penn State 70 OT— Nittany Lions jumped out to 11-0 lead, trailed 36-31 at half, then forced OT, where they missed wide open, game-tying jumper at end of OT. DePaul is 3-0 for first time in ten years.

    8) Ohio State 69, Creighton 60— Second quality road win for the young Buckeyes, who won at Cincinnati last week.

    7) Seahawks 27, Packers 24— Seattle outrushed Green Bay 173-48; Packers converted only 3-11 third down plays. 46-yard FG Crosby missed when Packers led 7-0 turned out to be painful.

    6) Houston Rockets and Carmelo Anthony parted ways after 10 games; who thought this pairing was going to be a good idea? Anthony didn’t want to come off the bench, but when you get older and your skills decline, what did he think was going to happen?

    5) Lakers’ G Rajon Rondo broke his hand, is out 3-5 weeks.

    4) Former LSU football coach Les Miles took a one-time lump sum payment of $1.5M from the school, reduced from the $6.5M he was scheduled to get over the next five years, but that tells me that Miles is going to be a head coach somewhere else next season. If he took the $6.5M, he would’ve had to stay out of coaching until 2023.

    3) Someone on Twitter posted a list of their ten favorite airports, and it started a firestorm of responses; since I only fly to one place, and it is usually a non-stop flight, my list is short:

    1) Las Vegas
    2) Albany
    3) Baltimore (sometimes my flights stop there; they have a Chick-fil-A)

    2) Cal Bears postponed their basketball game with Detroit Mercy Thursday night because of poor air quality in the area due to the wild fires. San Francisco also postponed Friday night’s home basketball game with Arizona State.

    1) Jim Boeheim has been the basketball coach at Syracuse for 43 years; he played for the Orange, was an assistant coach there before being head coach. Boeheim’s son Buddy is a player for Syracuse now; how the hell do they spell the kid’s last name wrong on his orange jersey?

              This weekend's NHL betting predictions and picks: Preds paralyzed on power play?

              The Western Conference leading Predators take on the cellar dwelling Kings, as they try to keep rolling. We cover this game and much more in our NHL betting cheat sheet with need-to-know betting notes, goalie profiles and injury news to help you crack the NHL odds for the weekend's matchups.

              Not so Special on Special Teams

              The Nashville Predators are among a handful of teams considered a serious Stanley Cup contender this season but if there is one knock on them it's their power play. The Preds rank dead last in the NHL with a paltry 11.6 % success rate with the man advantage and that number is sure to decline without P.K. Subban in the lineup. The Nashville defenseman is an integral part of the their power play and will be on the shelf for at least 3 games, including their showdown with the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. The Kings, meanwhile, are 26th in the league on the power play with a 14.3% success rate. The ineptitude on special teams for both of these offenses makes this game look like an easy Under.

              Snowball Effect

              Boston is 5-0 in their last five meetings in Dallas and will be out to avenge a 6-3 drubbing against the Avalanche on Wednesday. Dallas is coming off a loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets and face a stiff test against Boston as the road team is 9-2 over the last 11 meetings. The Stars are 2-11 in their previous 13 games against the Atlantic Division, while the Bruins are 9-3 in their last 12 after allowing goals in a previous game. The goaltending matchup will be exciting to watch as both Tuukka Rask and Semyon Varlamov are capable of posting a shutout but there is also a ton of offensive firepower in this game. In the end, look for the recent success of the Bruins in Colorado to continue and consider Boston a strong play heading into the weekend.

              Wild Night in Minnesota

              The Sabres head into Minnesota on Saturday and will need to find a way to solve Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk. The Over is 5-1-1 in the last seven road games for Buffalo and is 17-6-3 in their last 26 games against Central Division opponents. Buffalo made some key acquisitions in the offseason and are currently hanging onto a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Wild are coming off an offensive display at home against the Canucks and should carry that into their showdown against Buffalo on Saturday. Take the Over as the Sabres and Wild keep the goal judges busy at the Xcel Energy Center.

              "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take"

              The Golden Knights are 30th in the NHL with a shockingly low 26.2 shots per game and will head into Edmonton looking to improve on their subpar road record. The Oilers meanwhile are not too far behind with 29.8 shots per game which puts them 26th in the league. With so few shots, it should be little surprise that the Oilers and Knights are 21st and 28th in the NHL respectively in goals scored. Vegas is expected to start Marc-Andre Fleury who has an impressive 2.51 goals against average this season. He will face off against Cam Talbot eho has a 3.09 GAA and will need a strong game if Edmonton is going to get the win. This is shaping up to be a defensive struggle despite the presence of one of the best players in the game in Connor McDavid.

              Goalie Profile - Cory Schneider, New Jersey Devils

              Cory Schneider was once considered one of the best goalies in the NHL but so far has struggled mightily for New Jersey in his few appearances between the pipes. The American netminder is 0-3 with a 4.82 GAA and a woeful .849 save percentage which is highly uncharacteristic for him. His play will go a long way in determining the success of the Devils this season. The Devils face off against the Red Wings and Jimmy Howard on Saturday. Howard is playing well with a 6-5-2 record, a 2.69 GAA and .920 SP. Detroit is worthy of consideration as a huge road underdog in this spot as Schneider tries to find his groove.

              Injury Update

              Andrei Vasilevskiy suffered a foot fracture earlier this week and will be out for a while according to team personnel. This is a huge blow for the Lightning, who are among a small group of teams capable of winning the Stanley Cup and will miss having one of the best goalies in the NHL. Louis Domingue is expected to take over as the interim starter, which is great news for Over bettors as the career backup has struggled mightily in relief this season. With the Lightning coming off a high scoring affair with the Penguins on Thursday, expect another against the Flyers on Saturday and take the Over.

              Hat Trick Trends:

              Los Angeles is 8-17 in their last 25 meetings in Chicago and 1-11 in their last 12 against the Western Conference.
              The Avalanche were 2-0-1 against the Ducks last season and earned 5 out of 6 points. Colorado is +12 in goal differential while Anaheim is -15. The Avs are usually much better at home than on the road but they should be taken into consideration on Friday night.
              The home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the Golden Knights and Blues. St. Louis has just 1 road win this season while Vegas is 5-2-1 at home.
