            • Monday’s 6-pack
              Six of the hardest schedules in country so far:
              13) North Carolina
              12) Michigan
              10) Tex-Arlington
              8) Georgia Tech
              5) Southern Miss
              2) Kansas

              Quote of the Day:
              “A lot of guys on the team are underdogs coming from where they came from, the school, late round or whatever. However you dress it up. Guys who are used to being behind the 8 ball and used to being doubted. It wasn’t a surprise.”
              Vikings’ WR Stefon Diggs

              Monday’s quiz
              In 2008, New England went 11-5 but missed the playoffs; Tom Brady got hurt in the first game and was out for the year; who played QB for the Patriots that year?

              Sunday’s quiz
              New England lost to Baltimore in the 2009 Wild Card round, the last time they played on Wild Card weekend.

              Saturday’s quiz
              Vikings’ coach Mike Zimmer had eight surgeries on one of his eyes a few years ago, to correct a detached retina.

              ************************************************** ********************************

              Monday’s List of 13: Wapping up a sports Sunday……

              13) Vikings 26, Saints 20 OT— New Orleans gets bounced from playoffs on last play of game for third year in row, second year in row at home.

              Minnesota converted 10-18 on third down; Kirk Cousins gets his first career playoff win as the Vikings advance to San Francisco next weekend.

              12) Seahawks 17, Eagles 9— Seattle beat Philly twice this season, both by 17-9 scores; Philly scored one TD on 20 drives in the two games.

              Carson Wentz got clocked in the head, was KO’d in first half; his durability has to be an issue going forward. Seattle plays the Packers at Lambeau Field Sunday night.

              11) Last time the Buffalo Bills won a playoff game was in 1995 over the Dolphins; that was Don Shula’s last game as an NFL coach. Coach Shula turned 90 years old Saturday.

              10) Speaking of the Bills, they said on TV Saturday that Buffalo didn’t throw a pass on 3rd-and-1 all season long, not even once.

              9) Best ACC regular season records the last seven seasons:
              Virginia: 92-19 (.828)
              Duke: 80-31 (.721)
              North Carolina: 80-31 (.721)

              8) Watching college basketball and there are two leagues (Big East, Big 14) where their TV guys are obviously coached up to say how great their league is and how there are no easy games.

              In the Big 14, Nebraska/Northwestern stink this year; in the Big East, there are no easy games mostly because there aren’t any great teams in the league. Butler has probably been the best team in the league up to this point; no one is touting them for the Final Four.

              7) Sunday’s basketball upsets:
              — IUPUI (+11.5) 93, Green Bay 78
              — Oregon State (+8.5) 76, Colorado 68
              — Holy Cross (+4.5) 63, Navy 61
              — Bucknell (+4.5) 78, Lafayette 66
              — Fairfield (+4) 46, Canisius 42

              6) Duquesne’s basketball gym is being refurbished this season; the Dukes are playing home games at Robert Morris College, 17 miles away in Coraopolis.

              5) Nevada Wolf Pack football coach Jay Norvell played college football at Iowa; he was on the 1983 Hawkeyes’ team that had five assistant coaches who later became D-I head coaches; Bill Snyder, Dan McCarney, Barry Alvarez, Kirk Ferentz and Bob Stoops, one of the best coaching staffs in college history.

              4) There are currently eight tight ends in the NFL who went to college at either Princeton or Harvard, which is a little odd.

              3) Favorites covered three of four MAAC basketball games Sunday, after being 0-7 ATS up to this point in the season. Big Sky conference favorites are 3-10 ATS so far this season.

              2) A fan at the Texas-Baylor basketball game Saturday made a 54-foot putt from the backcourt into a hole on a little putting green under one of the baskets, which earned him $5,000. They said it was the first time any fan had holed a putt during the promotion, which they’ve been doing at Baylor home games for 16 years.

              1) Early betting lines for next week’s NFL games:
              — Vikings @ 49ers (-6.5, 45.5)
              — Titans @ Ravens (-9.5, 48)
              — Texans @ Chiefs (-9.5, 49)
              — Seahawks @ Packers (-3.5, 46)

                        • WVU at Oklahoma State
                          David Schwab

                          The first Monday in January is rather quiet when it comes to betting college basketball. However, there is one big matchup in the Big 12 that should capture some attention.

                          As the featured game on ESPN2, the No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers travel to Stillwater to square off against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

                          No. 16 West Virginia at Oklahoma State
                          (ESPN2, 9:00 p.m. ET)

                          Opening Odds: Wet Virginia -2, Total 136


                          Betting Matchup

                          West Virginia came up short against No. 3 Kansas in its Big 12 opener on Saturday in a 60-53 loss. Yet, the Mountaineers did cover as 10-point road underdogs. This was just their second straight-up loss on the year against 11 victories. They are 7-6 against the spread after covering in four of their last five contests. The total stayed UNDER 141 ½ points in Saturday’s loss and it has stayed UNDER in 10 of West Virginia’s 13 games this season.

                          Prior to Saturday’s loss to Kansas, West Virginia stunned then-No. 2 Ohio State 67-59 as a six-point road underdog on Dec. 29 to close out nonconference play. Freshman forward Oscar Tshiebwe only played eight minutes of that game before posting 17 points and 17 rebounds in Saturday’s losing effort. He is averaging 12.2 points and 9.4 rebounds a game. The Mountaineers took a six-point lead against Kansas into halftime before getting outscored 36-23 in the second half. They are averaging 73.2 points a game while allowing 61.8 points a game on defense.

                          The Cowboys opened Big 12 play by getting hammered by No. 22 Texas Tech 85-50 closing as 5 ½-point underdogs on the road. This was their fourth loss in their last six games (SU and ATS) after starting the season with seven victories in a row. They have a 2-5 record ATS in seven previous home games this season. The total has gone OVER in four of Oklahoma State’s last six games after going OVER 130 points in Saturday’s lopsided loss.

                          Senior guard Lindy Watters III is the Cowboys’ leading scorer with 12.9 points per game. He is just one of four players scoring in double figures on a lineup that is averaging 70.3 PPG. Oklahoma State is shooting 41.9 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three-point range. It connected on just 28.8 percent of its shots from the field in Saturday’s loss while going 9-for-27 from outside the three-point line.

                          Betting Trends

                          -- The Mountaineers are 5-15 SU in over their last 20 games on the road with a 4-10 record ATS in their last 14 road games. The total has stayed UNDER in five of their last six games played away from home.

                          -- The Cowboys have won six of their last nine home games SU but they fall 5-9 ATS over their last 15 games played at home. They are 5-2 ATS in their last seven Big 12 games with the total going OVER the closing line in five of those contests.

                          -- Oklahoma State won both meetings last season both SU and ATS. The Cowboys are now 4-1 ATS over the last five games in this matchup. The total has gone OVER the closing number in the last four meetings.

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

                            13) Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa declared for the NFL Draft; will be fascinating to see who takes a chance on him and his dislocated hip in the first round. NFL QB’s take a pounding, even in this softer day and age; can he withstand a 17-game season, because the NFL season will become 17 games in a couple years, and thats not counting the playoffs?

                            Nick Saban has had 29 players drafted in first round since coming to Alabama, but none of them were quarterbacks.

                            12) fanatics.com is already making/selling Cincinnati Bengal #9 jerseys with “Burrow” on the back, thats how confident they are that Cincy will draft the LSU quarterback.

                            11) Duke freshman Wendell Moore Jr. broke a bone in his right hand doing the Blue Devils’ 95-62 win over Boston College Saturday; he will miss “significant time”. Moore is averaging 7.4 ppg, 3.9 rebounds/game.

                            10) Dallas Cowboys hired Mike McCarthy as their new coach; McCarthy went 125-77-2 (.618) in 13 years with the Packers, going 10-8 in playoffs, with one Super Bowl title.

                            Former 49ers coach Mike Nolan will be the Cowboys’ DC.

                            9) Cowboys Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper are all carrying expiring contracts into the offseason; did that play into Jason Garrett being told to take a hike?

                            8) LA Rams will have a new defensive coordinator next year; 72-year old Wade Phillips didn’t have his contract renewed by the club. Ram defense had lot of injuries this year; Dallas/Ravens ran thru them, but otherwise they had a pretty good year.

                            Rams also parted ways with RB coach Skip Peete.

                            7) One more note on the Rams; they drafted Jared Goff in the first round of the 2016 draft; they haven’t made another 1st round pick since, and don’t have another 1st round pick until 2022.

                            6) Seattle-Philly Wild Card game late Sunday afternoon was the most viewed TV show in the country since LY’s Super Bowl.

                            5) Over last five years, #6 seeds are 7-3 ATS on NFL Wild Card weekend

                            4) Over last four years, #1 seeds are 6-2 ATS this coming weekend.

                            3) Washington Nationals signed 1B/OF Eric Thames a one-year, $4M deal.

                            2) I’ll be very curious when the XFL starts next month if it is any better than the AAF was; I’m assuming it’ll be better funded, but will the actual football be as good, or better?

                            1) Louisiana 27, Miami OH 17— This is a lower-tier bowl for sure, but it has to be an advantage in recruiting to have national TV all to yourself for two hours, yes? There wasn’t any college basketball on TV until 9:00; not really sure why.

                            • Tuesday's Tip Sheet
                              David Schwab

                              Tuesday's college basketball betting action features a pair of big showdowns in the Big Ten and the Big 12.

                              First up is battle between the No. 11 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 12 Maryland Terrapins in College Park. Later that night, the No. 4 Baylor Bears go on the road to square off against the No. 22 Texas Tech Red Raiders.

                              No. 11 Ohio State at No. 12 Maryland (ESPN, 7:00 p.m. ET)

                              Opening Odds: Maryland -2, Total 134.5


                              Betting Matchup

                              The Buckeyes gave up some ground in the rankings with a pair of losses at home to West Virginia and Wisconsin as favorites in their last two games. They slipped to 2-3 both straight-up and against the spread in their last five games following a perfect 9-0 SU start while going 8-1 ATS. The total stayed UNDER in those recent two losses after going OVER in four of Ohio State’s previous six games.

                              Kyle Young is the Buckeyes’ top shooter at 66.7 percent but he missed his last start after having his appendix removed. He is out indefinitely.

                              Maryland is 12-2 SU with a 2-1 record in Big Ten play following Saturday’s 75-59 victory against Indiana as a 6 ½-point home favorite. The Terrapins split games against Illinois (win) and Penn State (loss) in earlier conference action. The cover against the Hoosiers was their first in the last five games. Maryland is 6-8 ATS with the total staying UNDER in five of its last seven contests. Jalen Smith led the way in Saturday’s win with 19 points.

                              Senior guard Anthony Cowan Jr. is the team’s leading scorer (16.4 points) and he added 13 points to the winning cause.

                              Betting Trends

                              -- The Buckeyes have lost seven of their last eight January games SU and the total has gone OVER in five of their last six conference games.

                              -- The Terrapins have won their last 10 home games SU and they are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 games played on a Tuesday.

                              -- Maryland won both meetings last season SU and ATS. It is 6-3 both SU and ATS in its last nine games against Ohio State. The total has gone OVER in four of the last five meetings.


                              No. 4 Baylor at No. 22 Texas Tech (ESPN2, 9:00 p.m. ET)

                              Opening Odds: Texas Tech -3, Total 129.5


                              Betting Matchup

                              Baylor continues to climb the national rankings in the midst of a SU 10-game winning streak. It opened play in the Big 12 with Saturday’s 59-44 home victory over Texas as 8 ½-point favorites. The SU 11-1 Bears have followed a ATS win with an ATS loss over the course of their last seven games. They are 7-5 ATS overall and the total has stayed UNDER in four of their last six outings.

                              MaCio Teague had a big game against Texas with 21 points. The Bears won that game by 15 points despite shooting 31.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from three-point range.

                              Texas Tech is 10-3 SU this season and it got things going in the Big 12 on Saturday with a big 85-50 romp over Oklahoma State as a 5 ½-point home favorite. The Red Raiders have won their last five games SU but this was just their second cover ATS over their last eight outings. They are an even 4-4 ATS at home this season. The total has gone OVER or ended as a PUSH in four of Texas Tech’s last five games.

                              With five players averaging at least 10 points a game, the Red Raiders are scoring 76.8 points. They are holding opposing teams to 62.2 points on defense.

                              Betting Trends

                              -- The Bears have actually lost four of their last five Big 12 games SU with the total going OVER in four of their last five road games.

                              -- The Red Raiders have a SU 15-game winning streak at home but they slide to 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 games played in January.

                              -- The home won last season’s two-game series SU and ATS with the total going OVER in each contest. Texas Tech has a 5-2 record ATS in its last seven games against Baylor.
