Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Bottom six teams in 3-point shooting early this season:

— Elon 10%

— Southern Utah 11.4%

— Northwestern 12.5%

— Seattle 13.3%

— Southern 13.6%

— Virginia 16%

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) VCU 84, LSU 82— VCU’s coaches have it in their contracts that if they bolt for greener pa$ture$, their new team has to play a home/home series with VCU; this was Will Wade’s visit back home— he was not warmly received. Guys wearing fake FBI uniforms wee sitting by the LSU bench.

VCU led this game by 15 late in first half, but LSU fought back- they were outscored 23-13 on the foul line. Quality game between two teams I expect to see in March.

12) Ohio State 76, Villanova 51— Buckeyes led this game 40-22 at halftime.

It is very, very early in the season; some teams are way ahead of others. It is easy to overreact to unusual scores, once we get to Thanksgiving, we can begin to do some evaluating.

11) NFL finalized its Week 16 schedule by putting three games on Saturday, Dec 21; Texans-Bucs, Bills-Patriots and Rams-49ers.

10) Rams’ injury troubles on the offensive line have contributed to their offense being less explosive; hard to throw longer passes if you’re struggling to protect the QB.

Last year, the Rams had 15 TD plays of 18+ yards; this year, they have three.

9) 46-year old Adam Vinatieri has missed 11 PAT’s/FG’s this year; the Colts have brought in other kickers to try out.

8) Field position is important in football; turnover margin and 3/outs go a long way towards determining field position, especially now that kickoff returns have been greatly reduced.

These teams have forced the most 3/outs this season:

New England 44, San Francisco 41, Philadelphia 34

7) These teams have forced the fewest 3/outs this season:

Arizona, Atlanta, Baltimore, Oakland, all 17.

6) These teams have gone 3/out on offense the most this year:

Bears 46, Jets 44, Redskins 36, Giants 33

5) These teams have gone 3/out on offense the least this year:

Texans 13, Cowboys 14, Ravens/Saints 17, Chiefs 18

4) When Arkansas fired football coach Chad Morris last week, they also lost out on a 4-star QB recruit who happens to be…….Chad Morris’ son.

Chandler Morris is rated as the #13 dual-threat QB in the country, in the 2020 class.

3) Mike Piazza is going to coach the Italian team in the 2021 World Baseball Classic.

2) From ESPN Stats: Last week, the Browns had a drive where they ran six plays from the Buffalo 1 or 2-yard line but didn’t score on that drive; that is the first time that has happened in the NFL since December 18, 1993, when the Jets couldn’t score in that situation against Dallas.

1) Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander both won Cy Young awards Wednesday night; only two players homered off of both of them this season, Adam Eaton and Juan Soto, both of whom homered against Verlander in the World Series.

FINDING THE OPEN MAN

The Milwaukee Bucks are the largest favorite of the night, laying 11.5-points as they host the Chicago Bulls. Chicago has only averaged 43.5 percent shooting from the floor, and 106.7 points a game. On the other hand, Milwaukee averages the highest points per game on its home court at 123.3 per contest.

The Bulls have been one of the better teams defending opposing point guards in terms of points per game but have struggled versus the extra pass giving up a very-high 7 assists per contest to that position. Look for Eric Bledsoe to build off his success orchestrating the offense and bet Over his assists total of 5.5.

STARTING QUICK

The Dallas Mavericks get a shot at redemption as Kristaps Porzingis makes his return to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks as 7.5-point favorites. The Mavs lost 106-102 at home to the Knicks back on Nov. 8 and were not able to overcome the 36 first quarter points they gave up.

It was a shocking result considering the Knicks are the lowest scoring first-half team in the Association averaging 49.1 first half points per game. Tonight, they go up against the highest scoring first half team, as the Mavs are averaging 61.4 points. Look for Dallas to get out to another quick start and back them on the first half spread of 3.5-points.

NEW-LOOK CLIPPERS

The Los Angeles Clippers play on the tail end of a back-to-back when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans after falling 102-93 to the Houston Rockets last night. The Clippers are currently 6-point road faves over the 2-8 Pelicans and even better, Paul George is expected to make his season debut today. However, it is also likely Kawhi Leonard sits this one out for load management.

The Pelicans are one of the worst teams defending opposing point guards allowing an average of 29.3 points, 3.1 made 3-point shots and 9.5 assists per contest. The Clips’ Lou Williams has logged big minutes over the last six games and has attempted no less than 15 shots per game throughout that stretch. He's also been active on both sides of the ball and is in a position to thrive versus a weak Pels defense. Bet Over his points, rebounds, assists total.

EFFICIENCY AT ITS FINEST

The Phoenix Suns have won six of their first 10 games this season and they’ll look to make it seven-of-11 when they host the Atlanta Hawks as 7-point favorites.

Devin Booker is having a career high in shooting from the floor and is hitting an incredible 51 percent of his shots from beyond the arc. This is a great game for Booker to take advantage of a Hawks squad that is struggling with its perimeter defense, allowing 25.2 points, and 3.1 made 3-point shots to opposing shooting guards. Look for Booker to get hot and bet Over his points total of 26.5.

A HOT HALF

The Brooklyn Nets hope to improve on their 1-6 road record this season as they travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets, but will be in tough, currently listed as 9-point underdogs. To make matters worse, the Nets will be without Caris LeVert, but Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is upgraded to questionable for the contest. However, the Nets have had success in their last 10 games versus the Nuggets, winning seven outright.

The Nets average the second highest first half points per game with 59.4 and are coming off a game where they put up 68 in the first half against the Jazz on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, the Nuggets have been slow starters averaging 49.6 first half points per game. Look for Brooklyn to keep things close early on and bet them on the first half spread getting 5-points.
