    Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

    -- Rams 31, Bucs 23-- Best game Rams' offense has played in years.

    -- Both Texas A&M QBs are transferring; not sure I've ever heard of a team losing both its top two QBs that way- they must've had a lot of fun together this year.

    -- Lebron James crashed into a woman on sidelines last night; woman was carted off on a stretcher-- turns out it was the wife of golfer Jason Day.

    -- When they show football stats, I'd like to see total plays run-- more important than time of possession, thats for sure.

    -- Tournament of Roses parade cost $9.4M to put on LY, took in $7.4M, Guy who is the executvie director of the parade makes $365,141. The football game makes so much money it more than covers the expenses for the parade.

    -- Yadier Molina had a second surgery on his injured thumb, is expected to miss most of spring training.

    **********

    Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Ranking NFL QBs within tiers.........

    I divided 33 NFL (two for Denver) QBs into four tiers, then ranked them within the tiers. I think Philip Rivers is better than Joe Flacco, but Flacco won a Super Bowl and Rivers hasn't played in one, so they're in different tiers. Rankings are for right now, with exception of the injured starters- their ranking is for when they were last healthy.

    Tier One: QBs who won a Super Bowl
    8) Peyton Manning-- One of the all-time greats is at the end of the trail.

    7) Joe Flacco-- This was his first losing season out of eight in NFL.

    6) Eli Manning-- Durable, immobile, won two Super Bowls. Funny how he and his brother are statuesque, while their dad was a lot like Steve Young, a scrambler.

    5) Drew Brees-- Had advantage of playing in dome and being coached by Sean Payton, an aggressive playcaller. Wonder if Chargers regret letting him go.

    4) Russell Wilson-- As Ram fan, root against him twice a year; he has many qualities like Joe Montana. Elusive, smart, much better runner obviously but he doesn't have Jerry Rice. He is really, really good, as his 50-19 W-L record suggests.

    3) Aaron Rodgers-- Which was more seamless, Packers going from Favre/Rodgers or Colts going from Manning/Luck? Good management by both teams.

    2) Ben Roethlisberger-- Go back to 2004 draft; Giants traded for Eli Manning, when they could've stood pat and taken Big Ben. Its worked out well for both sides, but if that draft happened again, you wonder how it would play out?

    1) Tom Brady-- Why do quarterbacks run a 40-yard dash at the Combine?

    Tier Two: Veteran QBs who haven't won a Super Bowl
    10) Matt Ryan-- Has had a dismal year, Falcons' third losing year in row (16-29).

    9) Alex Smith-- 49ers chose Kaepernick over him; was that the right move?

    8) Matthew Stafford-- Plays in dome, for a team that has won one playoff game since 1957. Has 39-51 record; you watch him and think Lions should be better.

    7) Jay Cutler-- 66-65 career record, going 27-13 from 2010-12, 39-52 the rest of the time. Bears lost 26-0 in one game he missed this year. Cutler might be underrated.

    6) Tony Romo-- Dallas is 1-8 in games he missed this year, but a 2-4 playoff record also haunts him. 10 years as a starter, six playoff games. No bueno.

    5) Andy Dalton-- 0-4 in playoffs, but 50-26-1 in regular season- Bengals were terrible before he became the QB. This was his best season until he broke his right thumb.

    4) Andrew Luck-- Indy better be careful with him; lacerated kidney is nothing to mess around with. The way this season has gone, Colts will have new coach next year. Has 3-3 playoff record in four years (more playoff wins than Romo/Dalton combined).

    3) Carson Palmer-- What QB wouldn't love playing for Bruce Arians? This is his best season, now he needs a playoff win-- his playoff record is 0-2 ('05, '09).

    2) Cam Newton-- Win college, won in junior college, winning in NFL.

    1) Philip Rivers-- 95-71 career record, 4-5 in playoffs; was drafted in same year as Eli and Big Ben. Has eight kids, so I'm guessing he leads NFL QBs in that category.

    Tier Three: Less accomplished QBs
    8) Nick Foles/Case Keenum-- Give one of them a decent OL and a tight end who can catch the ball, then we'll see. Rest of team is ready to roll- offensive ineptitude has kept this team from contention this year- they're really not very far away.

    7) Ryan Tannehill-- Was WR for two years at Texas A&M, not sure what Dolphins see in him- his starting job never seems to get challenged.

    6) Sam Bradford-- At least he stayed mostly healthy this season.

    5) Blaine Gabbert-- Has played fairly well for 49ers this season.

    4) Brian Hoyer-- Head coach is a QB guru, but Texans can't find a QB- Hoyer has been OK but now has concussion issues.

    3) Blake Bortles-- Jaguars scored 115 points in last three games; they have hope.

    2) Derek Carr-- Oakland has chance to get to .500 this year if they can upset Green Bay this weekend. Raiders management got him couple good WRs, which helps.

    1) Ryan Fitzpatrick-- Playing for fourth team in four years, during which time he has started 50 games-- unique career. Hope he writes a book someday.

    Tier Four: Young QBs
    7) Johnny Manziel-- Second coming of Fran Tarkenton on the field; hopefully he will be little less active off the field. Curious what Browns will do with him this winter.

    6) Tyrod Taylor-- Wasn't that good in college, sat bench in Baltimore for four years, has done pretty well as a starter this year. Maybe thats the way to develop a QB.

    5) Brock Osweiler-- Same boat as Taylor, is 3-1 filling in for legendary QB Manning. Will be free agent this winter- will Denver sign him up longterm?

    4) Teddy Bridgewater-- Seems a little bit like Alex Smith; doesn't screw things up, is mobile enough to move chains. Vikings move to new stadium indoors next year.

    3) Kirk Cousins-- No one talks about RGIII anymore.

    2) Marcus Mariota-- I'm sure Tennessee is happy with him, but not sure why they fired the coach. Teams with rookie QBs starting seldom win a lot.

    1) Jameis Winston-- All the BS he put himself thru in college is gone now; he has done way better than most people expected in his rookie year. Went 27-1 at Florida State, is 6-7 with Bucs- big improvement. Future is bright in Tampa Bay.

                  Game of the Day: Bucks at Warriors
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  Golden State can match it franchise-best home start (1975-76) with its 12th win to begin the season on Friday.

                  Milwaukee Bucks at Golden State Warriors (-18.5, 210.5)

                  The Milwaukee Bucks became the first team to beat the Golden State Warriors this season when they ripped off a 108-95 home victory on Saturday. The Warriors, who bounced back by crushing the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, will have a chance for some quick revenge when they host the Bucks on Friday.

                  Milwaukee took advantage of a Golden State team playing the second night of a back-to-back and the finale of a seven-game road trip in Saturday’s win and looked like a completely different team when it began its own road trip with a back-to-back at Los Angeles. After knocking off the best team in the league, the Bucks suffered a 113-95 loss to one of the worst at the Lakers as the things they did well on Saturday – perimeter defense – abandoned the team, and Wednesday’s 103-90 loss to the Clippers did not go any better. The Warriors went 6-of-26 from beyond the arc at Milwaukee to mark the first time this season they failed to hit at least 10 3-pointers, but looked refreshed against the Suns while burying 15 from beyond the arc. Golden State still has one streak intact and picked up its 29th consecutive home win with the 128-103 thrashing of Phoenix.

                  LINE HISTORY:
                  Books opened the Warriors as 17.5-point faves but that has moved to -18.5. The total opened, and has remained, at 210.5.

                  INJURY REPORT:


                  Bucks - C Greg Monroe (Late December, knee), PG Greivis Vasquez (Mid April, ankle), PG Jerryd Bayless (Late December, ankle).

                  Warriors - SF Harrison Barnes (Late December, ankle), SF Kevon Looney (Late January, hip).

                  POWER RANKINGS:
                  Bucks (+3) + Warriors (-18.5) + home court (-3.0) = Warriors -24.5

                  WHAT CAPPERS SAY:
                  "The Bucks were the most improved team in the league last year, but may see the biggest drop in wins this year. The Warriors' first loss of the season downgrades their actual rating by a full point, but they remain well above the rest of the league (with one exception)."

                  ABOUT THE BUCKS (10-17 SU, 12-15 ATS, 15-12 O/U):
                  Milwaukee lost starting center Greg Monroe to an MCL sprain prior to Tuesday’s game at Los Angeles and went on to drop its 10th and 11th consecutive road games against the Lakers and Clippers. Monroe’s absence doesn’t fully account for the team’s declining results on the defensive perimeter, where they were torched for 21 3-pointers combined by the Lakers and Clippers. Miles Plumlee and John Henson have taken turns starting at center in the last two games in place of Monroe and combined for 23 rebounds in the two contests.

                  ABOUT THE WARRIORS (25-1 SU, 17-8-1 ATS, 16-10 O/U):
                  Klay Thompson sat out a double-overtime win at Boston last Friday with an ankle sprain and was rusty when he returned the next night at Milwaukee, going 4-of-14 from the field in 30 minutes. Thompson was a different player on Wednesday and scored 27 of his season-high 43 points in the third quarter while going 15-of-22 from the field, including 8-of-13 from 3-point range. “That was a lot of fun, because when you get a stop or get a transition opportunity, you try to find (Thompson) wherever he is,” Stephen Curry told reporters. “When he gets it clicking, there’s no better thing to watch.”

                  TRENDS:


                  * Bucks are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings in Golden State.
                  * Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
                  * Bucks are 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
                  * Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games.

                  CONSENSUS:
                  Fifty-three percent of users are backing the Warriors.
