**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday.......

13) Oregon 51, Utah 27-- Utes' WR Kaelin Clay was going to score a TD to put his team ahead 14-0, but he showboated and dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line. Oregon picked the ball up and ran it back 99 yards for a TD, which propelled them to a 24-10 halftime lead in Salt Lake City. No bueno.

12) Boise State 60, New Mexico 49-- Lobos had 409 rushing yards at HALFTIME but lost; game was 42-35 NM at half. Boise ran ball for 307 yards, threw it for 367. Odd game; very rare for team to run for 500+ yards and lose.

11) Arizona State 55, Notre Dame 31-- Sun Devils raced out to 34-3 lead, had to take a deep breath when it got to 34-31 but they scored three TDs in last 4:29 to put it away. Golson threw for 446 yards but turned ball over five times.

10) Baylor 48, Oklahoma 14-- Bears had lost 37 road games in row vs teams in Top 25, with last win coming in 1991. Petty was 32-42/387 while Knight was 12-27 and got KO'd late in game. Total yardage was 544-319. Sooner defense is ordinary.

9) Alabama 20, LSU 13 OT-- Teams have gone to OT four times in last decade, road team won all four games. If you had LSU +6.5, the gambling gods owe you one.

8) TCU 41, Kansas State 20-- Horned Frogs ran ball for 334 yards; Wildcats had covered 13 of last 16 as a road underdog. TCU ran 82 plays to 59 for K-State, which threw ball for 376 yards in losing cause. Could TCU make the Final Four?

7) Colorado State 49, Hawai'i 22-- Rams are 9-1; they ran ball for 293 yards, threw it for 287; are they the best team in the Mountain West? Their only loss was 37-24 at Boise State, which lost to Ole Miss and Air Force.

6) Florida State 34, Virginia 20-- Seminoles are 2-7 vs spread but Winston is now 22-0 as a starter at FSU. No way will Winston ever see that disciplinary hearing; he's off to the NFL as soon as Florida State plays its bowl game.

5) Texas A&M 41, Auburn 38-- Something as simple as a center snap cost Auburn this game; they lost fumbles in A&M territory on their last two drives and lost even though they ran ball for 363 yards in game they trailed 35-17 at the half.

4) Ole Miss 48, Presbyterian 0; Mississippi State 45, UT-Martin 16-- Why in the name of Shug Chumbler are these teams playing I-AA opponents? All we hear is how great the SEC is and I enjoy their games, but DON'T PLAY I-AA TEAMS!!!!!

3) Georgia 63, Kentucky 31-- Dawgs ran opening kick back for TD, later a punt for another TD; they also converted all eight third down plays, gaining 559 yards as fans in Kentucky start looking forward to basketball season. Wildcats lost their last four games, allowing average of 42.3 ppg.

2) Rice 17, Tex-San Antonio 7-- Owls won last six games after an 0-3 start, where they lost at Notre Dame/Texas A&M by a combined score of 86-27, then lost 45-42 to Old Dominion, a I-A newcomer. Thats a really good coaching job, keeping your kids' heads in game after such a bad start.

1) Ohio State 49, Michigan State 37-- Former South Carolina QB Phil Petty is the answer to an odd trivia question; last QB to beat Buckeyes in consecutive seasons, as both games were also in bowls, in 2000-01. Connor Cook had chance to do that here, but the Buckeyes spanked Michigan State, winning 5th straight visit to East Lansing.

Warriors top Rockets, remain perfect ATS

Fresh off of a 98-87 defeat over the Houston Rockets Saturday, the Golden State Warriors are owners of a perfect 5-0 straight up record, but they've been dominating against the spread as well.

The Warriors are 5-0 ATS in the young campaign. Steph Curry's squad is in action yet again on the road Sunday when they take on the Phoenix Suns in the desert.

Golden State is currently 1-point road faves with the total set at 210.

Rockets extend Under streak to seven games

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets 98-87 Saturday night, handing Houston its first loss of the season. But the scoreline stayed below the closing total of 209 and Under bettors cashed another ticket on the Rockets this season.

With that result, the Rockets moved to 0-7 Over/Under on the season and remain one of the hottest bets on the hardwood.

The Rockets enjoy a bit of a break as they don't have a game until Wednesday when they'll face the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Home ML faves cashing tickets at a rapid rate

There's been no place like home for favored NBA squads so far this season.

Home moneyline favorites are an astounding 44-16 this year, cashing tickets 73 percent of the time throughout the young campaign.

That's a trend bettors need to be aware of and keep an eye on as the season progresses. There are eight games on the hardcourt Sunday, highlighted by Miami-Dallas and the undefeated Golden State Warriors taking on the Phoenix Suns in the desert.
