Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Interesting college football spreads for this week:

— Nebraska (-4.5) @ Colorado

— Texas A&M @ Clemson (-17.5)

— San Diego State @ UCLA (-7)

— BYU @ Tennessee (-3.5)

— LSU (-5) @ Texas

— Miami (-6) @ North Carolina

**********

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

13) Bad weekend to be a USC quarterback:

We said yesterday how USC Trojans QB JT Daniels tore his ACL and is done for the year. He will be replaced by true freshman Kedon Slovis.

South Carolina Gamecocks QB Jake Bentley broke his foot and is out for six weeks; his replacement will be true freshman Ryan Hilinski.

12) Slovis, Hilinski starting means that seven true freshmen are now starting QB’s out of 130 I-A football teams.

11) Indianapolis Colts gave QB Jacoby Brissett $30M for two years, and then signed Brian Hoyer as his backup, giving him $12M for three years.

10) In his last three years at UCLA, Dolphins’ QB Josh Rosen had three different offensive coordinators; last year, he had two OC’s in his one year with the Cardinals, and obviously has a new OC in Miami this year. Plus the Dolphins just traded their LT, which endangers the health of whomever plays QB for Miami this year.

Not a great start to Rosen’s career.

9) Early nominee for Bad Beat of the Year was Northwestern (+6.5) at Stanford. Game was 10-7 Stanford in the last minute when the Cardinal sacked Northwestern’s QB, he fumbled and they scored a defensive TD to cover the spread with 0:20 left to play.

8) Jets’ radio guy Bob Wischusen was working a college game on ESPN Saturday and was saying how he thinks Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor were the two best football players ever.

Jim Brown played before my time, so I can’t comment on him; LT was a great linebacker whose pass rushing skills helped change the game, but if he did the same exact thing playing for the Chiefs or Bengals, instead of a NYC-area team, he’s not in the best player ever conversation.

7) In five starts from April 15-May 9, Cubs’ P Yu Darvish walked 22 batters in 22.2 IP.

In 14 starts since June 15, Darvish has walked 8 hitters, while striking out 102 in 80 IP.

6) Jacksonville Jaguars won’t practice Wednesday because of Hurricane Dorian.

5) Alabama is a 54-point favorite over New Mexico State Saturday; the total is 65; Crimson Tide opens SEC play next week when they play South Carolina, so the starter figure to get a good chunk of this game off. Then again, New Mexico State just lost 58-7 at Washington State, so probably a good game to stay away from.

4) Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the 20th QB to start for the Dolphins since Dan Marino retired.

3) Final AAA Home Run Totals:
2018 – 3,652
2019 – 5,749 (57.4% increase)

AAA games switched to major league baseballs this year.

2) Sports betting became legal in Indiana Sunday; governor of Indiana made a $10 wager on the Colts to open things up. Probably would’ve bet more if Andrew Luck hadn’t retired.

Wouldn’t it be fun if just once, a politician stepped out and dropped $1,000 on the home team with his ceremonial first bet? Have some onions, Governor!!!

1) Labor Day night and only two baseball games are on, with 8:00 the latest start time. Whats up with that?

Team Betting Notes

Atlanta (7-24 SU, 14-17 ATS) continues to limp to the finish line, dropping each of their two contests in the previous week while failing to cover in each. The over has connected in four of the past five outings heading into the final week.

Chicago (19-13 SU, 20-11-1 ATS) had a rough week, going 1-2 SU/ATS, although their 105-78 whitewashing of the Mercury is a feel-good moment heading into the new week. The over cashed for the fourth straight game in that one, and the over is 12-1 across the past 13 outings, too.

Connecticut (22-9 SU, 13-17-1 ATS) managed a pair of victories to keep pace with the Mystics in the East Division, sitting just one game back. The Sun have won six of the past seven overall, and they're 3-1-1 ATS across the past five outings.

Dallas (10-21 SU, 16-15 ATS) split a pair of battles in the past week, while covering each. They're a respectable 5-3 ATS across the past eight outings. The 'over' has connected in four in a row, while going 7-1 across the past eight outings, too.

Indiana (11-21 SU, 15-16-1 ATS) dropped each of their past two outings, but they continue to play hard down the stretch. The Fever have ratllted off a season-best four covers in a row, while the 'under' is 3-1 during the impressive span. The over is also 3-1-1 in their past five outings at home.

After splitting a pair of games in the past week, Las Vegas (20-12 SU, 12-20 ATS) was able to join the Mystics and Sun in the 20-win club. The Aces had a rare under result at Indian on Aug. 27, but the over is 8-1 across the past nine contests for the first-place Aces.

Los Angeles (19-12 SU, 15-15-1 ATS) have been hard to figure lately. They covered four in a row from July 23-Aug. 8, went 0-3 ATS from Aug. 11-16, covered three in a row from Aug. 20-25, and now they're in an 0-3 ATS skid again heading into the new week.

Minnesota (17-15 SU, 17-14-1 ATS) have won a season-high four games in a row, covering three of them while the 'over' has cashed in three of those outings. The over is also 9-3 across the past 12 contests, too.

New York (9-22 SU, 10-19-2 ATS) have dropped four in a row, and 12 of the past 13 games while going 1-10-1 ATS across the past 12. They have failed to cover in consecutive games dating all the way back to July 20-24. The 'over' has cashed in four in a row, and the over is 8-2-1 across the past 11.

Phoenix (15-16 SU, 17-13-1 ATS) clinched a playoff spot, going 2-1 SU/ATS in their three-game week. The Mercury are an impressive 6-2 ATS across the past eight outings. The 'over' has connected in four of the past five, too.

Seattle (16-15 SU, 16-14-1 ATS) stayed one game ahead of the Mercury, bouncing back with a 17-point win over the Dream after dropping two in a row at home. The Storm had posted a solid 5-3 ATS mark across the past eight, and the 'over' is 4-1 in the past five outings.

Washington (23-8 SU, 18-12-1 ATS) haven't lost back-to-back games since a three-game losing skid back from July 7-13. They're 13-2 SU across the past 15 games since that three-game slide, and they're 6-2 ATS in the past eight outings. The over is also 9-3 in their past 12 games, too.
