Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

— Jets 37, Bills 31– Surprisingly fun game; Jets’ coach Bowles needs to learn about game management– when Jets scored to make it 36-24 with 4:02 left, he has to go for 2 there. Not doing so almost cost him dearly.

— I’ll have more on this later on, but MLB suspended San Diego Padres’ GM AJ Preller for 30 days without pay for hiding medical records of Padre players, and not disclosing info they have to potential trade partners.

— Padres’ GM/Ivy League genius Preller has had a couple of run-ins with MLB rules before; wonder if he is a Patriots’ fan?

— Georgia Tech picks up a good hoop recruit in Jose Alvarado– new Tech coach Josh Pastner gets Alvarado out of Rutgers’ backyard.

— Want to win a bar bet? Indians’ Francisco Lindor leads MLB this year, with 12 sacrifice flies. Matt Kemp has 11.

— North Dakota State has been paid a total of $1.675 million for playing its last five I-A opponents on road. Bison won all five games- they play at Iowa this week.

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Things I’m looking for this weekend

13) Miami Dolphins played good defense at Seattle LW, lost 12-10 in last minute to a Super Bowl-winning QB. How will they do against Jimmy Garoppolo in his Foxboro debut?

12) Florida State-Louisville is a damn good noon game; lot of offense, with Seminoles’ frosh QB Francois getting his first road start.

11) Cleveland Browns may be 1-17 in season openers, but they’re 5-2 in Week 2 home games. Ravens struggled to a 13-7 home win over Buffalo last week; how will they do in their road opener in their old home?

10) Stanford won six of its last eight games with USC; Trojans won last week, but a win here would do a lot more to help soothe the beatdown they took from Alabama.

9) Steelers knocked Cincinnati out of the playoffs LY; Lewis is now 0-7 as a playoff coach. This is a legit rivalry; can Bengals win on road two weeks in a row?

8) LSU is 15-1 in its last 16 games vs Mississippi State, but only QB to beat the Tigers plays for the Dallas Cowboys now. Fournette is expected to play; would expect LSU to show a more balanced offense with Efling at QB.

7) Will Josh Norman stay on one side of the field like he did Monday night, or will they figure out how he can cover Dez Bryant all over the field?

6) When Nick Saban exploded on the sideline at the end of last week’s easy win, he was already preparing for this game with Ole Miss, which beat the Crimson Tide the last two years. I’m guessing practice was a little intense in Tuscaloosa this week.

5) Rams are under the gun in their first Coliseum home game since 1979; they were so bad Monday night in Santa Clara, natives will be restless if they fall on their faces again. Rams actually swept Seattle last year.

4) Oklahoma Sooners are a home underdog for the first time in 16 years. Ohio State has only three senior starters, only six starters back from LY.

3) Tough duty for the Colts, heading to Denver after they lost 39-35 at home to Detroit LW. Siemian was good enough to win in Denver’s opener; Broncos had three extra days to prep after their Thursday night win.

2) Total in the Oregon-Nebraska game is 74; people in Lincoln are going to be puzzled with having the Cornhuskers play shootouts, when they’ve been such a great running team through the years.

1) Vikings open their new domed stadium Sunday night against Green Bay. Still not sure why they didn’t put a dome on their baseball stadium, but fans have to be happy they don’t have to sit outside on December weekends anymore.

MLB betting cheat sheet and odds: Bucking the trend at Coors

The San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies will undoubtedly be looking at huge totals during their three-game weekend series at Coors Field.

Our MLB cheat sheet breaks down the best MLB betting notes so you can handicap every series like a pro this weekend, including the Padres and Rockies who have had an interesting recent history at baseball's offensive wonderland.

Bucking the Trend at Coors

The San Diego Padres and Colorado Rockies will undoubtedly be looking at huge totals during their three-game weekend series at Coors Field. But bettors should consider the teams’ recent history in Colorado; after combining to score 38 runs in their first two meetings of the season, the teams have gone 0-3-1 O/U in their next four games at Coors. The Padres have been a decent low-total play of late, going 2-4 O/U in their last six games. The Rockies are coming off a wild series in Arizona that saw the teams play to the Over in all three games, scoring a combined 53 runs.

Not-so-Sub Mariners

The hottest team in baseball can be found in the Pacific Northwest. The Seattle Mariners have surged back into the American League playoff race after reeling off eight consecutive victories - the last three coming against the Los Angeles Angels, who managed just a pair of runs in the series. Solid pitching has been the key to the winning streak for the Mariners, who are 0-3-1 O/U in their last four games and haven’t allowed more than three runs in any game during the run. They’ll look to keep the good times going against the visiting Houston Astros, who have lost six of eight.

Armed and Dangerous

No Stephen Strasburg? No problem at all for the Washington Nationals, who have used sensational pitching performances to close in on clinching the National League East title. The Nats have won eight of 10 games heading into Friday’s opener of a three-game set in Atlanta, and have been particularly stingy of late, allowing two runs or fewer in four of their last five contests. Washington is 0-6-1 O/U in its last seven, but might struggle to extend that streak of low totals against an Atlanta team that has played to the Over in eight of its last nine games.

Injury Updates

* The Mariners continue to march into the AL wild card picture despite being without veteran first baseman Adam Lind, who is out indefinitely with a finger injury. Seattle has won all three games since losing Lind, and are 4-1 in his absence so far this season.

* Cincinnati may wind up as one of the top Over plays of the season, but things have gone differently with speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton out of the lineup. The Reds are 3-7 O/U in 10 games since losing Hamilton to an oblique injury; despite this, they’re still 76-59-10 O/U on the season.

Hitting Notes

* Jose Abreu’s solo home run provided the lone offense for the Chicago White Sox in a 2-1 loss to Cleveland on Thursday. Abreu has been red-hot since the All-Star break, slashing .336/.385/.547 with 12 homers and 42 RBIs in just 223 second-half at-bats.

* Arizona SS Jean Segura was the catalyst for the Diamondbacks’ three-game sweep of Colorado, blasting four homers among his eight hits in the series. The Diamondbacks came into the series just 5-6 SU in games in which Segura had gone deep.

Pitching Notes

* Chris Archer has some work to do in order to finish as anything other than the worst money pitcher in baseball. The Tampa Bay right-hander has been abysmal for the majority of the season, having lost 1,455 units entering Friday’s start against the host Baltimore Orioles.

* Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta hasn’t been a great money starter, but he has been a sensational parlay heading into Saturday’s encounter with the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. The Win-Under combo has hit in 15 of Arrieta’s 28 starts so far this season, with the Cubs 19-9 in those games.

Totals Trend

Kansas City Royals games have been a lot of fun for fans of offense. Kansas City enters a four-game series with the Chicago White Sox having gone a stunning 16-2-1 O/U in its last 19 games.
