    Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

    College basketball conferences #13-18, according to kenpom.com

    18) Sun Belt-- Wide-open as always; Georgia State is banged up right now.

    17) CAA-- Wm&Mary was down 20 at half, won last week; they're tied for 1st.

    16) C-USA-- Former Sun Belters La Tech/Western Kentucky are both 5-0.

    15) Horizon-- Green Bay/Valparaiso/Cleveland State all tied at the top.

    14) Ivy-- Haven't really started yet; Harvard is the heavy favorite.

    13) Big West-- Cal-Davis has Hersey Hawkins' son, is in first right now.

    **********

    Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend.......

    13) Seahawks 28, Packers 22 OT-- Green Bay had the ball and a 19-7 lead with 5:04 left. From that point on, Seattle ran 17 plays for 206 yards, scoring three TDs as they pulled a rabbit out of a hat and won the NFC title with this unlikely win. Seahawks' first TD scored on a freakin' fake FG after they had converted a 3rd-and-19.

    Its going to be a longer, colder than usual winter in Wisconsin.

    12) Green Bay kicked 18 and 19-yard FGs in the first quarter, meaning they had two drives that stalled inside the 3-yard line; lot of people are criticizing McCarthy for kicking those FGs instead of going for TDs, but he had a 19-7 lead and the ball in the last 5:00-- things that went on in the first quarter aren't why they lost this game.

    11) Seahawks are first team since the '82 Jets to win a postseason game in which they turned the ball over five times. Teams had lost 45 consecutive playoff games in which they turned the ball over five times.

    10) Patriots 45, Colts 7-- These teams play again next season; please TV gurus, keep it off national TV, so I don't have to watch this carnage again. New England won its last six games against Indy, scoring 42.3 ppg in last four. This was an awful game.

    9) As I type this late at night (did you know its summer in Australia and quite warm there today?), Super Bowl line has both teams favored by a point in various sports books, while other have game pick 'em.

    This will be third time in last five years Super Bowl spread was less than three points, when there hadn't been any such games in the decade before that.

    8) NFC won four of last five Super Bowls, if that matters to you.

    7) Pete Carroll went 28-23 as coach of the Patriots from 1997-99, making playoffs two of three years, going 8-8 the third year, but he got fired, so New England could hire......Bill Belichick. I know its the Super Bowl and you don't need extra motivation, but how sweet would it be for Carroll to keep the Pats title-less since 2004?

    6) This is only second time in last 20 years (Saints-Colts in '09) that both #1 seeds made it to the Super Bowl.

    Hey, there's other stuff going on........
    5) Last night I mentioned Martin Kaymer jogging to an easy win in Abu Dhabi; he had a 10-stroke lead with 13 holes to play. He lost.

    After going 47 holes without a bogey, Kaymer went +6 in one 8-hole stretch. Oy.

    4) Last week, Gary Kubiak issued a statement about how happy he was in Baltimore, helping John Harbaugh and the Ravens; then the Broncos lost and John Fox got fired. Now, Kubiak is the new coach of the Broncos. Go figure.

    Baltimore at Denver would be a fun primetime game next season.

    3) Washington Nationals signed Max Scherzer to a 7-year contract, meaning they will probably be trading Jordan Zimmerman/Ian Desmond soon.

    2) DePaul 71, St John's 67-- Blue Demons are 4-2 in Big East, after going 10-98 the previous six conference seasons. Not sure if DePaul is that much better or of the Big East is that much worse, but good for Oliver Purnell.

    1) Major League Baseball is bizarre; they named Mets' owner Fred Wilpon head of baseball's finance committee; this is same guy who was in bed with Bernie Madoff and has been running the Mets like they were the Toledo Mud Hens ever since. Oy.

      Super Bowl Opening Line Report: Patriots' performance forces a pick'em

      Four weeks of preseason. Seventeen weeks of regular season. Three weeks of playoffs.

      Now we’re down to the real meat and potatoes of the NFL season, with the final two contestants taking their rightful place in the Super Bowl, set for Feb. 1 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The two No. 1 seeds will square off: the defending champion Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots, with the game at pick ‘em in most spots, and Seattle perhaps a 1-point chalk elsewhere.

      John Lester, senior lines manager at bookmaker.eu, installed the Seahawks as 1-point favorites, with the total at 48.5.

      “We’ve got top-seeded teams meeting in the Super Bowl, so this line wasn’t terribly hard to set,” Lester said. “I don’t think you could argue with a pick ‘em, but we opened the defending champs as 1-point chalk, which coincidentally is the same number and side we used for last year’s Super Bowl spread.

      “Of course, the Broncos quickly became favorites in that one.”

      How Seattle got there this time, in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at Century Link Field, was almost beyond belief.

      Any reasonable bettor – hell, even an unreasonable one – who was told, “OK, the Seahawks will need to convert a fake field goal for a touchdown, successfully cover an onside kick, complete a Hail Mary of a 2-point conversion, and oh yeah, overcome five turnovers to win this game,” would have laughed and promptly bet the house on Green Bay.

      Such a bettor would have still won against the spread, but would be as stunned as the Packers at the final score: Seattle 28, Green Bay 22, in overtime, with the Packers cashing as hefty 8.5-point road underdogs. The Seahawks scored two touchdowns in less than a minute late in the fourth quarter to erase a 19-7 deficit. After the second score, they made a ridiculous 2-point conversion to go up 22-19, but allowed the Packers to drive for a game-tying field goal to force the extra frame.

      Then Seattle marched down the field on the strength of two long Russell Wilson passes, the second a 35-yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse to end the game on the first possession of OT. It was as crazy a playoff game as there’s ever been in this league.

      In complete contrast, the AFC Championship Game had all the shock value of a dead 9-volt battery on the tip of your tongue. Host New England, laying seven points at kickoff, led Indianapolis 14-0 in the first quarter, and the outcome was never in doubt as the Patriots rumbled, 45-7.

      Patriots QB Tom Brady will be making his sixth Super Bowl appearance, seeking his first title since the 2004 season, as he’s come up empty on his last two trips. His team’s impressive effort against Indy brought the Super Bowl opening line down in a hurry.

      Scott Kaminsky, general manager at offshore site TheGreek.com, said his shop actually offered Seattle at -3 in the Super Bowl before the Seahawks and Packers even kicked off. He took the line down during that game, put it back up around halftime of the Pats-Colts contest, and bettors hammered New England from that point forward.

      “It’s been all New England money, and it’s down to a pick ‘em,” Kaminsky said, noting the total was holding steady at 49. “Everybody, it was like the whole world, was on the Patriots – smart players and recreational players. With every touchdown, a little more money came in. It was just like a snowball effect. So now we’ll start from pick ‘em and see what happens.”

      Lester said he likes where things are lining up early, as it should lead to plenty of wagers on both sides by Super Bowl Sunday.

      “I expect we’ll have a lot of different opinions on this game, which should equate to great two-way action,” Lester said. “I don’t foresee this line fluctuating much at all.”

                NBA game roundup: Evans, Pelicans tip Raptors

                TORONTO -- Guard Tyreke Evans made the winning hook shot with 1.6 seconds left, and he finished with 26 points as the New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Toronto Raptors 95-93 Sunday.

                Reserve center Alexis Ajinca added 22 points for the Pelicans, who led by 16 points early in the second half and trailed by 12 in the fourth quarter. Guard Eric Gordon added 14 points for the Pelicans, and center Omer Asik scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

                Guard DeMar DeRozan scored 22 points to lead the Raptors, who lost for the seventh time in nine games and finished a six-game homestand 2-4. DeRozan's jumper tied the game at 91 with 1:31 to play. Gordon gave New Orleans a two-point lead with 56 seconds left. DeRozan tied it 14 seconds later by sinking two free throws.

                Guard Lou Williams added 17 points for Toronto, and guard Greivis Vasquez had 16. Forward Amir Johnson contributed 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while forward Patrick Patterson scored 10 points.

                Spurs 89, Jazz 69

                SAN ANTONIO -- Center Tiago Splitter became the 12th player to lead San Antonio in scoring this season, producing 14 points during the Spurs' victory over Utah.

                The Spurs won an eighth consecutive home game against Utah, last losing to the Jazz in San Antonio in January 2010.

                Guard Danny Green scored 13 for the Spurs, all in the fourth quarter, when he made three 3-point baskets. Forward Kawhi Leonard, the team leader with 15.4 points a game before Sunday, had 12 points and nine rebounds. Reserve center Rudy Gobert led Utah with 13 points, a career-best 18 rebounds and four blocks.

                Thunder 127, Magic 99

                ORLANDO -- Forward Kevin Durant had 21 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in just 27 minutes, leading Oklahoma City to a victory over Orlando.

                The Thunder built a 38-point lead in the first half, then coasted through the second, giving them an easier-than expected start to a five-game, Eastern Conference road trip.

                Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook had 17 points and six assists in 24 minutes. Forward Serge Ibaka had 16 points, including four 3-pointers, and eight rebounds in 28 minutes. Guard Victor Oladipo led the Magic with 23 points.

                  MLK Day Matinee Betting Cheat Sheet

                  Minnesota Timberwolves at Charlotte Hornets (OFF, OFF)

                  An injury-stricken Charlotte squad may have to forge on without leading scorer Kemba Walker when it hosts Minnesota in a Monday matinee. Walker missed Saturday's 80-71 overtime win against Indiana - the Hornets' sixth win in seven games - due to a cyst in his left knee and it is unclear how long the soreness will linger for one of the league's hottest players. The veteran had averaged 29.8 points over his last six games, but now joins center Al Jefferson on the Hornets' ever-crowded injury list.

                  Jefferson, who has missed nine games due to a groin strain, may be back for Wednesday's home game against Miami while reserve guard Jannero Pargo (back) is due to miss his 13th consecutive game. The Timberwolves know all about injuries as three-fifths of their starting lineup has missed most of the season and replacement starter Shabazz Muhammad (oblique) was out for the fourth straight time at Denver on Saturday, when Minnesota improved to 2-1 on its current road trip with a 113-105 win. Monday marks the Timberwolves' seventh chance at recording their first winning streak this season.

                  TRENDS:

                  * The Hornets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall
                  * The Timberwolves are 1-7 ATS in their last eight vs. the Eastern Conference
                  * The Timberwolves are 5-2 ATS in their last seven following an ATS win


                  Philadelphia 76ers at Washington Wizards (-14, 192.5)

                  The Washington Wizards stand second in the Eastern Conference at the midway point of their regular season and look to continue their surge toward the top when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday afternoon. The Wizards have won six of their last eight games after a victory at Brooklyn on Saturday to remain five games behind East-leading Atlanta. Philadelphia, which dropped its first 17 contests this season, has split its last eight games after a 107-89 loss at Detroit on Saturday.

                  It will be the first clash this season for two of the league’s top young point guards as Michael Carter-Williams faces off against Washington’s John Wall. Carter-Williams, in his second season, has scored 21.5 per game over his last four outings while the 24-year-old Wall averages a double-double (17.1 points, 10 assists). The Wizards, who beat the 76ers in their last three meetings in 2013-14, boast 17 home victories – most in the conference.

                  TRENDS:

                  *The Under is 6-1 in the Wizards' last seven home games
                  *The Under is 7-1 in the 76ers' last eight overall
                  *The 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a SU loss


                  Detroit Pistons at Atlanta Hawks (-7.5, 204)

                  The two hottest teams in the Eastern Conference go head-to-head Monday afternoon when the Atlanta Hawks host the Detroit Pistons. The Hawks have won 12 straight and 26 of 28 to move atop the East standings and continue their best start in franchise history. The Pistons, meanwhile, have won 11 of their last 13 following a 5-23 start and are within a game of the Brooklyn Nets for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

                  Atlanta’s winning streak has been especially impressive considering it includes victories at the Portland and the Los Angeles Clippers, two of the more difficult teams to beat at home, as well as wins against Eastern Division pursuers Chicago, Toronto, Washington and Cleveland. The Hawks also beat Detroit during the current run, ending its seven-game winning streak. Stopping point guard Jeff Teague will be a priority for the Pistons after he lit them up for 28 points in a 99-89 win Nov. 21 in Atlanta.

                  TRENDS:

                  * The Pistons are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 overall
                  * The Under is 5-2 in the Pistons' last seven road games
                  * The favorite is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings


                  Boston Celtics at Los Angeles Clippers (-12, 212.5)

                  The Los Angeles Clippers look to snap a rare home losing streak when they host reeling Boston in a Monday matinee. After a 126-121 loss to Cleveland on Friday, the Clippers had dropped two in a row at the Staples Center for the first time since the beginning of the 2012-13 season. Los Angeles, which bounced back with a 117-108 victory at Sacramento on Saturday, has also lost three straight at home against Eastern Conference foes as part of a 4-3 stretch overall.

                  Matt Barnes scored 22 points in the first half en route to 26 while Blake Griffin had 18 of his 30 in the second half for the Clippers against the Kings. While Los Angeles finished strong in that one, the Celtics faded late in a 119-104 loss to Chicago at home on Friday, their 11th loss in 14 games. Boston, which is 4-12 away from home on the season and has lost 23 in a row against Western Conference opponents, is beginning a season-high six-game road swing against the West.

                  TRENDS:

                  * The Underdog is 9-2 in their last 11 meetings
                  * The Celtics are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 contests
                  * The Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss


                  Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors (-14, 218)

                  The Golden State Warriors have been making history all season and will have a chance to do it again when they host the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The Warriors need one more victory to break the franchise record of 15 straight home wins set by the 1989-90 squad. Denver had been working on a winning streak of its own with five straight before running into trouble over the weekend in back-to-back losses.

                  The Warriors stumbled briefly in a 127-115 loss at Oklahoma State on Friday that ended an eight-game winning streak by bounced right back by slamming the Houston Rockets 131-106 to close out the two-game excursion on Saturday. “We just wanted to get back to our identity,” Golden State guard Klay Thompson told reporters. “It felt good to get back to what we do best.” The Nuggets are coming off a 113-105 home loss to the Western Conference-worst Minnesota Timberwolves.

                  TRENDS:

                  * The Nuggets are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games overall
                  * The Underdog is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings
                  * The road side is 4-0 ATS in their last four matchups
