Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six interesting games on this weekend’s football slate……..

— Florida State (-2.5) @ Louisville– Big early game in the ACC.

— Oregon @ Nebraska (-3)– Huskers’ coach Riley used to work at Oregon State, the Ducks’ arch-rival.

— UCLA (-3) @ BYU– Cougars are already 2-0 against Pac-12.

— Pitt @ Oklahoma State (-6.5)– Cowboys need to bounce back.

— Ohio State (-2) @ Oklahoma– Sooners as a home dog?

— Alabama (-10.5) @ Ole Miss– Big early game in SEC.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……….

13) Steelers 38, Redskins 16– Washington had their chances to grab decent-sized lead in first half, but they failed in red zone, then messed up couple chances to get turnovers in Pitt territory. Steelers pulled away late as Big Ben dominated Redskin defense with his decision-making.

12) 49ers 28, Rams 0– Never thought the A’s would score more than the Rams last night. Worst-case scenario for LA, just an awful effort here; they play Seattle and Arizona in next three weeks, so it ain’t gonna get any easier. Good debut for Chip Kelly with the 49ers.

11) Oakland Raiders went for 2 points and the win at the end of their game Sunday, just like BYU did at Utah Saturday night; Raiders made it, BYU didn’t. Either way, I am adamant that this is a bad play, unless you have a great running QB. I’d much rather tie the game and keep playing.

10) Arnold Palmer turned 87 last week; the most popular golfer ever. I have one good Arnold Palmer story……..

20 years ago I used to coach Little League in a wealthy suburb; questionable move on my part, but one year, I had an assistant coach who is an avid golfer. Smart guy, great job, but he didn’t like me much, didn’t like my coaching style (very laid back), so we didn’t talk much.

Near the end of the season, Arnold Palmer came into town for a charity event; my assistant was on the committee at his country club, so he wasn’t around for a couple days. The next time he was at practice after the event, I asked him how his day with Arnold Palmer was.

Now this was a very educated, smart guy who was rarely enthusiastic about much, at least around me; he looked at me, his eyes lit up and he said, “It was the greatest day of my life.”

That’s all you need to know about Arnold Palmer’s effect on people.

9) Hey if you’re in the Miami area, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Miami Heat’s D-League team, is having a tryout on September 25 at a high school in the Miami area. Only costs $150 to try out. Of course, if you made the team, you get to spend the winter in North Dakota, not sure that’s a good deal or not. Probably not.

8) Did you know they have fantasy camp for musicians? Saw a friend of mine post a picture on Facebook of his brother jamming with a guitarist who had been part of the Eagles. I guess if you have some musical talent, that would be a very cool thing to do.

7) Arizona State 68, Texas Tech 55– Kid on ASU, Kalen Ballage, scored 8 touchdowns Saturday night!!!! Tremendous night for him, seven on the ground, one thru the air.

Steeler WR Antonio Brown’s dad Eddie was an Arena Football star here in Albany; he scored nine TDs in a game once– that was amazing to see, but to get eight in a college game, against a real opponent on a 100-yard field, that is very special.

6) Speaking of Antonio Brown, USA Today ran an article recently where the title was “3 years ago he was a junkie. Now he’s Antonio Brown’s chef.” I’m sure the Steelers front office just loved that story.

5) If someone asks you, the NHL team that has appeared in the most shootouts in one season? The 2013-14 Washington Caps (21).

4) Golfer Dustin Johnson’s grandfather is in the U of South Carolina Hall of Fame as a basketball player.

3) All three service academies are 2-0 in football this month; last time that happened was 1996.

2) Can you imagine how bad the traffic jam was getting out of Bristol Motor Speedway after the Va Tech-Tennessee football game Saturday? 150,000 people leaving at once, of course, once they got to the highway, half went east, half went west, maybe that made the traffic a little better.

1– Miami Marlins have a strict no-beard policy, for some odd reason. Pitcher Andrew Cashner had a thick beard but had to shave it when the Padres traded him to the Fish. Cashner is a free agent after the season; he has pitched well since being traded to Miami, but has said he might not consider signing with them this winter because he wants to grow his beard back.

-- Favorites went 11-4 straight up (SU)
-- Underdogs went 8-7 against the spread (ATS)
-- Home teams posted a 10-5 SU record
-- Home teams posted a 8-7 ATS record

Team Betting Notes

-- Los Angeles (24-8) was favored in three games in the past week, and they lost all three straight up for their longest losing streak of the season. The Sparks are struggling mightily against the spread, going 0-4 ATS in the past four outings, and 2-10 ATS over the past 12. After starting out 8-2 ATS in their first 10 games the Sparks are 6-16 ATS over their past 22 outings.

-- Chicago (16-15) had a difficult week, losing two of their three games straight up. They also have lost star Elena Delle Donne indefinitely due to a thumb injury which required surgery. She is set to undergo the procedure Tuesday after suffering the injury Sept. 7 against Washington (12-19).

-- The Mystics have really gone downhill in the second half of the season, going 3-11 since July 1 after starting out 9-8.

-- Connecticut (11-20) is in a bit of a tailspin again, dropping each of their past three games and failing to cover in each. The Sun have allowed an average of 92.7 points per game, helping the 'over' hit in each of the three outings, too.

-- Indiana (16-15) is playoff bound, and they're ramping up for a nice postseason run. The Fever have won three in a row while going 3-1-1 ATS over the past five and 11-5-1 ATS over the past 17 outings.

-- Seattle (15-17) won their fourth straight game Sunday and were rewarded by clinching a playoff spot. They have won four in a row, and the Storm have covered six in a row, and nine of their past 10 games. They travel to Phoenix Thursday before wrapping up the season at home next Sunday against Chicago. They're 2-0 SU/ATS vs. Phoenix this season, and 0-2 SU/1-1 ATS vs. Chicago.

-- Phoenix (14-17) put an end to a three-game losing and non-cover skid against Atlanta (14-13), avenging a four-point loss on the road earlier in the week. Phoenix improved to 2-1 SU/ATS against Atlanta this season.
