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.
