Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

College hoop teams who are forcing the most turnovers:

— Arizona 27.6%

— Tulane 27.7%

— Arkansas/VCU 29.2%

— Kansas State 29.3%

— Stephen F Austin 31.4%

— Eastern Michigan 31.7%

**********

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

13) Buffalo 26, Dallas 15:
— 9-3 Bills might be the most unheralded 9-3 team ever.
— The next few weeks are going to be a good time for Lincoln Riley’s agent, because it is hard to believe that Jason Garrett will be the Cowboys’ coach next year.

12) Saints 26, Falcons 18:
— New Orleans wins NFC South, is first team to qualify for playoffs.
— Atlanta outgained Saints, 348-280, but turned ball over three times in 2nd half.
— Falcons recovered two onside kicks; before this week, NFL teams were 3-37 on onside kicks this season.

11) Chicago 20, Detroit 17:
— Lions’ first two drives: 13 plays, 153 yards, two TD’s.
— Lions’ last eight drives: 54 plays, 211 yards, one FG.

10) Lions are 9-18-1 under 2nd-year coach Matt Patricia, who got hired because he worked for New England- they win a lot. Problem is, Patricia didn’t bring Tom Brady with him to Detroit.

Lions fired Jim Caldwell, who went 36-28 in four years with Detroit, making the playoffs twice in those four years. Still an interesting decision, two years later.

9) Michigan 73, North Carolina 64— Wolverines went on a 19-0 run early in 2nd half; they made 11-26 on the arc, and are now 6-0 under rookie coach Juwan Howard.

8) Long Beach State 66, Providence 65— 49ers were a 16.5-point underdog; they were down 17 early in second half. Friars turned ball over 21 times; this is a bad loss for then.

7) Gonzaga 73, Oregon 72 OT— Zags led 24-7 early, but for second day in row, Oregon stormed back and erased a big lead- they led by 4 in OT, but Gonzaga ended game on a 7-2 spurt and will play Michigan in the Atlantis finals Friday afternoon.

6) Marquette 73, Davidson 63— Wildcats had made a 3-pointer in 809 consecutive games, but went 0-15 in this game, which ends the streak. Markus Howard scored 40 for Mar quote, which made 27-38 on foul line (Davidson was 15-23).

Rising star in TV business is former Cincinnati/Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy, who is working the Orlando tournament this weekend. Smart, funny and knows when to be quiet.

5) Harvard 62, Texas A&M 51— Crimson were a perfect 22-22 on foul line, offsetting their 6-29 day on the arc. Harvard moves on to play Maryland Friday.

4) Virginia’s 2nd-leading scorer Braxton Key is out indefinitely after having wrist surgery this week. Cavaliers are 7-0 after smothering Maine 46-26 Wednesday.

3) Patriots kicker Nick Folk had an appendectomy, will miss this week’s game in Houston; former Redskins kicker Kai Forbath is expected to be his replacement.

2) Mississippi State 21, Ole Miss 20— With 0:04 left in the Egg Bowl, Ole Miss WR Elijah Moore caught a 2-yard touchdown pass that cut Mississippi State’s lead to 21-20; the PAT would tie the game.

After he scored, Moore lifted his leg like a dog and pretended to urinate after his score, and got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for excessive celebration, pushing the PAT back 15 yards.

The kicker missed the PAT, Miss State won 21-20 and is now bowl eligible.

1) Penn 68, Central Florida 67— Kid on UCF thought he hit the game-tying 3 at the buzzer, but he was standing behind the wrong arc, and was standing on the 3-point arc. With so many different 3-point lines, he got confused. Good day for the Ivy League.

REFRIED LEAFS

It was just last week that the Toronto Maple Leafs (3-2 SU, 1-4 O/U last five) were on a six-game losing streak and water was pouring into the ship. Fast forward just 10 days and the Leafs are winners of their last three under new head coach Sheldon Keefe and have outscored their opponents 14 to 4. The Leafs wrecked the Detroit Red Wings Wednesday night, 6-0 on the road and will travel to Buffalo (1-4 SU, 2-3 O/U last five) for a home-and-home series on Friday and Saturday.

Toronto has a good chance of sweeping this two-game set as things have turned ugly in Buffalo after a strong start to the season. The Sabres have won just twice in their last 12 games and are surrendering nearly four goals a game over that stretch.

We are riding the Buds for a third and fourth straight game, taking the puck line -1.5 and the team total Over 3.5 for both Friday and Saturday. Get on these lines early as the odds for hockey favorites and Overs tend to move fast after the opening line.

UNDER SIEGE

The Minnesota Wild are still in the Western Conference basement but have played competitively in recent outings. Helping them do so has been their ability to keep the score down as they are Bottom 10 in shots for and shots against during the month. The Wild have hit two straight Unders and are 2-6 O/U since November 12.

Taking on the Wild Friday will be the Ottawa Senators who are also playing better lately after putting themselves in a huge hole with a poor October. The Sens have won eight of their 14 games in November, thanks to the league’s fourth-best save percentage over that stretch.

Much like Minnesota, there’s a direct relationship between their success and low-scoring games as Ottawa has also hit the Under in four straight games and is 2-9-1 O/U since November 5. We’re riding the Under 5.5 on two teams who are familiar with low-scoring affairs.

MONTREAL’S TAILSPIN

The Montreal Canadiens (0-5 SU, 4-1 O/U last five) have been stinking up the joint over the last two weeks. Montreal went from second place in the Atlantic Division to outside of the Top 8 in the conference in a matter of six games. A lot of the blame can be put squarely on netminder Carey Price, who has allowed an unfathomable 23 goals in his last five starts.

The Habs will play back-to-back this Saturday (Philadelphia) and Sunday (at Boston) and until they can show us some better play in the back end and improve on their league-worst save percentage in the last 14 days, we are going to play their opponents’ Over 3.5 totals for both games this weekend.

EDMONTON’S TOP TWO DOGS

Well, it’s nearly December and the Oilers are still atop of the Pacific Division. It helps when you have the league's two leading scorers in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisait, but it also doesn’t hurt when you take advantage with the extra man. Edmonton has the league’s best power play at 32 percent this year and is scoring 36 percent of the time on the powerplay over the month of November.

The Oilers will take on the Canucks in Vancouver on Sunday and the way the Canucks are allowing shots on net (32 a game in November), McDavid & Co. may be able to put up a handful of goals.

Vancouver is taking the fourth-most minor penalties over the last three weeks and will find itself down on the scoreboard if it gives the Oilers too many chances with the extra attacker. We’re going to take the Oilers team total Over 3.5 (the moneyline is also in play) for plus-money and also like McDavid anytime score and Draisaitl Over 0.5 assists.

GOALIE PROFILE: MATT MURRAY, PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

Matt Murray came into Wednesday’s game having lost two straight starts, allowing nine goals on 66 shots. Well, Wednesday was no better as the veteran netminder got pulled after giving up four goals on 14 shots. The Penguins eventually won the game with backup Tristan Jarry, who has won his last four appearances.

With the Pens playing back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, Pittsburgh will most likely be forced to throw Murray out there on Saturday against the Blues in St. Louis (3-1-1 SU, 1-3-1 O/U last five). The Blues have gone Over their 3.5-goal team total just twice in their last nine games but are winning games scoring three or less.

We’re going to take the second-best home team in the West and put our money on the Blues’ 3-way moneyline - meaning they need to win in regulation - and take advantage of Murray’s struggles.

INJURY UPDATE: F OSKAR SUNQVIST, ST. LOUIS BLUES

Already without Vladimir Taransenko, the Blues lost young forward Oskar Sundqvist during Wednesday’s game to a lower-body injury. The Blues forward was contributing secondary scoring for St. Louis, with five goals in the team’s last five games. The loss of Sundvist will put more pressure on the top-six forward group and the penalty kill where the injured forward was seeing nearly two minutes of PK time a game.

With the Dallas Stars on deck for Friday, we don’t see many points being scored in this one as Dallas has the third-lowest goals against and the Blues are 2-7 O/U in their last nine. Hit the Under 5.5 here (opened at 5 but should move to 5.5) on Friday night as both teams can game plan to eliminate the opposing teams' scoring line without having to worry much about the bottom two lines

HAT TRICK TRENDS

• The Florida Panthers are 9-1-1 O/U at home this year which is the best mark in the league. They will host the Nashville Predators on Saturday as Nashville has the best Over record on the road at 7-2 O/U.

• As of Wednesday, there are only two teams who are hitting first-period Overs at 80 percent or better as game total Overs hit at just 42 percent over the last week. The Edmonton Oilers are 9-1 O/U in their last 10 while the Colorado Avalanche are 8-2 O/U. Both of these teams play on Saturday night and a two-team first-period Over parlay usually pays around +190.

• It was a week dominated by favorites. The juicier bet of the two finished the week 35-15-7 for 61 percent. This push from the favorites has the season stat closer to 54 percent, as underdog bettors have seen their value diminish over the last month. As always though, mind the heavier-priced moneyline faves. Even a 3-1 night could leave you in the red.
