Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Worst teams in country shooting 3’s:

353) Texas A&M 24.3%

352) Cleveland State, 24.6%

351) Kennesaw State, 25.3%

350) Mississippi Valley State, 25.6%

349) Charleston Southern, 25.6%

348) South Carolina State, 26%

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Our last home page of 2019……

13) If you’re an NFL head coach and your GM drafts a quarterback, you’d best have some job security, because these days, rookie QB’s play sooner than later, and they usually don’t play well, so the team loses and the coach gets fired. They don’t fire players very much.

2013– Mike Shanahan, Redskins (fired after RGIII’s 2nd year)
2014– Dennis Allen, Raiders (Carr)
2015– Ken Whisenhunt, Titans (Mariota)
2016– Jeff Fisher, Rams (Goff)
2017— John Fox, Bears (Trubisky)
2018— Steve Wilks, Cardinals (Rosen)
2018— Hue Jackson, Browns (Mayfield)
2018— Todd Bowles, Jets (Darnold)
2019— Jay Gruden, Redskins (Haskins)
2019— Pat Shurmur, Giants (Jones)

12) Doug Peterson (Wentz), Mike Smith (Ryan) did it right; they got hired as head coach the same year their team drafted a QB, which gives you time to grow together.

11) California 35, Illinois 20— Garbers threw for 272 yards, four TD’s, as Pac-12 evens its bowl record this month at 2-2.

10) Western Kentucky 23, Western Michigan 20— True freshman kicker nailed a 52-yard FG at the gun for the win; he missed a 29-yard FG at end of first half.

Hilltoppers outgained WMU 481-307, but threw a pick-6 in last minute of first half that tied score at 10-all. WKU finishes the season 9-4.

9) Louisville 38, Mississippi State 28— Sometimes life is simple; when you hear that one of Miss State’s QB’s couldn’t play in this game, because one of his teammates broke the orbital bone near his eye in a post-practice fracas, then you pick against that team.

8) College basketball upsets:
— Stetson (+21) 63, South Carolina 56
— South Carolina State (+11) 58, Jacksonville 52
— Green Bay (+5.5) 73, Northern Kentucky 59

7) Michigan State’s basketball team is 2-0 early on in the Big 14 standings; Northwestern is 0-2; the other 12 teams are all 1-1.

Northwestern lost to Hartford the other day, not a good sign for the Wildcats.

6) Cal State- Fullerton won 77-74 at UCLA Saturday, which isn’t good for Mick Cronin; losing to North Carolina or Michigan State is one thing, but losing to Big West teams, especially one with a 3-10 record and #275 ranking, is a huge red flag.

One of Cronin’s apologists tried to blame the talent former coach Steve Alford left behind, but Alford went to Nevada, inherited a total of two players (TWO!!!) from Eric Musselman and the Wolf Pack is 8-5. Maybe Alford is as good a coach as Cronin is.

This is the first UCLA roster without at least one McDonald’s All-American since the award was started in 1977, but plenty of solid D-I players weren’t McDonald’s All-Americans.

5) By the way, over the last 19 years, UCLA had never lost to a team ranked lower than #210 in the KenPom rankings; Fullerton was #284 before they upset the Bruins.

4) USC fired their defensive coordinator and special teams coach after its dismal performance in the Holiday Bowl Friday night.

3) In the NBA, Knicks have won one playoff series since 2001; they ain’t going to make it there this year, either. Too bad they can’t fire owners for gross incompetence.

2) Zion Williamson has a 5-year sneaker contract worth $15M a year but he still hasn’t played a game yet for the Pelicans.

1) From Zach Berman:
At Caesars sportsbook this summer, the over/under on passing yards for Carson Wentz this season was 4,040.5. You could wager whether Wentz would pass for more or less than 4,040.5 yards.

He finished with 4,039 yards; Sunday’s finale was played in a steady rain. Very bad beat.

In the Crease - Week 14
Joe Williams

For the Sweep

The Tampa Bay Lightning will roll into KeyBank Center on New Year's Eve looking for the season sweep of the Buffalo Sabres. These teams met in Buffalo back on Nov. 8, and the Lightning came away with a win with Andrei Vasilevskiy in the crease. He allowed two goals on 22 shots in that outing, and he is the projected started for Tuesday's game. He also took care of the Sabres at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm back on Nov. 25 in one of the two Global Series games in Sweden. He allowed two goals on 30 shots in his start opposite Hutton overseas.

For the aforementioned Hutton, it's been a strange ride. He started the season on fire, going 6-0-0 to fire out of the chute, but it's been a slow burn since. He hasn't won since Oct. 22, losing 10 consecutive starts. Instead of showing signs of life, Hutton has actually shown signs of getting worse, coughing up six goals in each of his past two starts, and four or more goals in six of his past seven appearances. That bodes well for the Lightning, who will have their brooms out in Buffalo.

Looking Ahead

Tuesday, Dec. 31

Montreal at Carolina: The Canadiens return to PNC Arena for the first time since Oct 4, the regular season opener. Carey Price will be in the crease against the Hurricanes, and he is looking to avenge a 4-3 shootout loss in Raleigh when Petr Mrazek held on for the win. While the Canadiens have won four of the past 15 against Eastern Conference teams, they are 9-3 in the past 12 against winning sides. The Hurricanes are 32-14 in the past 46 games at PNC Arena, and 40-18 in the past 58 as a favorite, including 17-7 in the past 24 as a home favorite. PNC Arena has been a house of horrors for the Habs, as they're 0-5 in the past five visits to North Carolina's capital city. They're also 1-7 in the past eight meetings, with the home team 4-1 in the past five in this series, with the favorite 21-7 in the past 28 meetings.

N.Y. Rangers at Edmonton: The Rangers and Oilers might be the final teams off the ice in the calendar year of 2019. They'll square off at Rogers Place in Edmonton with Alexandar Georgiev and Mike Smith projected to be in between the pipes for their respective sides. Georgiev made 44 saves last time out in an overtime win at Toronto, while Smith is in the midst of a four-start slide, going 0-3-1 to slip to 7-8-2 with a 3.12 goals-against average and .893 save percentage. Edmonton limps into 2020 with just one win in the past six home games, and they're 2-8 in the past 10 games overall, too.

Wednesday, Jan. 1

Nashville at Dallas: The only game on New Year's Day takes place in the Cotton Bowl outdoors, and the weather forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-50's with plenty of clouds and no precipitation. Pekka Rinne and Ben Bishop are expected to lock horns and face each other. While the home team is just 3-8 in the previous 11 Winter Classic games, with six of the 11 games being decided by one goal. While we might see favorable weather conditions and a lack of sun beating down on the ice, the surface should still be rather sticky outdoors. Eight of the previous 11 Winter Classics have seen a total of five or fewer goals, so don't be surprised to see another low-scoring affair.

Thursday, Jan. 2

St. Louis at Colorado: The Blues hold a rather sizeable lead over the Avalanche in the Central Division, but Colorado gets the defending champs in their barn looking to trim the lead. The Avalanche are also looking to avenge a sound 5-2 beating on Dec. 16 in St. Louis, as Jordan Binnington easily outdueled Philipp Grubauer. St. Louis also picked up a 3-1 win on Oct. 21 on the banks of the Mississippi River, but this will be the first meeting this season in the Mile High City. The last time the Blues were in town they came away with a 3-0 win on Feb. 16 last season, and the Blues are working on a six-game winning streak against the Avalanche dating back to the regular-season finale on April 7, 2018, a 5-2 win at Pepsi Center.

Philadelphia at Vegas: The Fly Guys and Golden Knights square off in Sin City for the first game of the calendar year at T-Mobile Arena. These teams met Oct. 21 in the City of Brotherly Love, and they'll be looking to avenge an embarrassing 6-2 loss. Of course, not to make excuses, but VGK was using Oscar Dansk in an emergency start, his only appearance at the NHL level this season. For this home game they'll have All-Star and future Hall of Famer Marc-Andre Fleury back between the pipes. He is 15-8-3 with a 2.74 goals-against average and .912 save percentage with two shutouts, and he knows the Flyers well from his days with the cross-state rival Pittsburgh Penguins. Philly is one of a few teams with a winning record against Vegas in their brief history. They're 3-2 all-time against the Golden Knights, including a perfect 2-0 in their previous visits to T-Mobile Arena. They won 5-2 last season on Oct. 4, 2018, and they won 4-1 on Feb. 11, 2018.

Friday, Jan. 3

Washington at Carolina: The Capitals and Hurricanes are quickly becoming rivals, as these teams had a contentious seven-game playoff series last season, some tight and angry preseason battles, and it has spilled over into the regular season. They have played each other frequently lately, too, as the Caps are looking to avenge a 6-4 loss just this past Saturday at PNC Arena. The Canes won 3-2 in an overtime affair back on Oct. 5, too, so the Capitals should come out with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Braden Holtby has been on the short end of both of the losses to Carolina, as he is 0-1-1 against the Hurricanes and 17-5-2 against everyone else. It's a far cry from last season when the Capitals swept the four-game meetings in the regulat season. Of course, Carolina got their revenge, winning in double-overtime in Game 7 of their playoff series, and the confidence has spilled over to this season so far.
