Sunday’s betting tips: Urlacher returns for Brees test

Who’s hot

NFL: The Redskins are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five overall dating back to last season.

NFL: The under is 5-0 in Buffalo’s last five home games.

MLB: The Royals are 6-0 in their last six overall and 4-0 in their last four home games.

MLB: The Giants are 6-0 in their last six overall and 5-1 in their last six road games.

WNBA: Atlanta is 5-0 ATS in its last five overall and 4-0 ATS in its last four against the Eastern Conference.

Who’s not

NFL: The Browns are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall dating back to last season.

NFL: The Vikings are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.

MLB: The Mets are 1-6 in their last seven overall.

MLB: The Twins are 0-6 in their last six overall.

WNBA: The over is 1-5 in San Antonio’s last six home games.

Key stat

419 – Drew Brees’ passing yards in New Orleans’ Week 1 shootout loss to the Packers. Dating back to last season’s playoff game at Seattle, Brees now has two straight 400-yard passing games. Something will have to give, though, against a Chicago defense that is expected to have Brian Urlacher on Sunday. The Bears were the only team that did not allow an offensive touchdown in Week 1 as they manhandled Atlanta 30-12.

Injuries that shouldn’t be overlooked

The Jets will be looking to make a stronger statement at home after just barely making out with a gift-wrapped win over the Cowboys in Week 1. However, they may be without several key players in their attempt to do that on Sunday against Jacksonville. Linebacker David Harris (toe), wideout Santonio Holmes (knee), and safety Eric Smith (ankle) are all listed as questionable for New York. Head coach Rex Ryan said he likes Harris’ chances of playing, but it sounds like Holmes and Smith are 50-50.

Biggest games on the slate

San Diego Chargers at New England Patriots (-7, 53.5)

Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons (1.5, 49.5)

Notable quotable

“The last time I lost a game was Navarro Junior College. What do you want me to say, it feels great? It is not a comfortable feeling for me.”– Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton after losing last week at Arizona despite his 422-yard passing performance. Newton may have to get used to the feeling, though, because Carolina is a 10-point underdog against Green Bay on Sunday.

Tips and notes

Justin Verlander can become the first 24-game winner since Bob Welch won 27 games for the Athletics in 1990 when he takes the mound on Sunday at Oakland. Verlander has picked up the win in 11 straight starts and he has not taken a loss since July 15. The righty is coming off seven innings of a shutout ball in a victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Reggie Bush saw the field for 75 offensive snaps during Miami’s Week 1 Monday night loss to New England. Don’t expect that to happen on Sunday at Houston—or ever again. “I have to do a little better job of play counts of a few guys during the course of the game,” Dolphins’ head coach Tony Sporano told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Bush had 11 rushes and nine receptions last week, including one catch for a touchdown. The Texans, meanwhile, held a Peyton Manning-less Indy team to 236 total yards last Sunday.

The Atlanta Dream went into Connecticut on Friday and stole Game 1 of their WNBA Conference Semifinals series. If recent history is any indication, that could be all she wrote for the Sun. In the last 10 meetings between the two teams, the road team has only won twice—and both times that was Atlanta. Connecticut is 0-5 (2-3 ATS) in its last five trips to Atlanta heading into Game 2 on Sunday. Conference semifinal history also isn’t good for the Sun, who are 0-6 ATS in their last six at this stage of the playoffs.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes (-7.5, 52.5)

Injuries are taking their toll on the Blue Bombers, who will have to go on without MLB Joe Lobendahn (knee) for the remainder of the season. Quarterback Buck Pierce (ribs) could miss Sunday’s game, which would bring substitute Alex Brink under center. Young receiver Kito Poblah (shoulder) won’t play either against the Alouettes.

Those injuries aren’t the only concerns for Winnipeg, which just can’t seem to run the ball and has coughed up 10 turnovers in the past two games. Those losses of possession resulted in a 72-30 stomping in the Banjo Bowl - a cold shower for Winnipeg fans who love to brag about “Swaggerville”.

The Alouettes seem back on track after a few bumps, despite the numerous casualties on defense. Although, Seth Williams and Marc-Olivier Brouillette, both off the nine-game injured list, have stepped up nicely.

Pick: Montreal

Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Ivan Nova, New York Yankees (15-4, 3.81 ERA)

Nova has been a quality-start machine of late, including five such outings in a row dating back to mid-August. In that five-game span he went a total of 33.2 innings and allowed only nine runs while striking out 23 batters. The big right-hander pitched 7 1-3 innings on Wednesday at Seattle and gave up just one run on five hits.

Matt Cain, San Francisco Giants (11-10, 2.79 ERA)

The defending World Series Champions are storming back into playoff contention--albeit distant contention. Cain is not necessarily one of the big reasons for it because he never gets any run support, but he has certainly been carrying his weight. The right-handed has given San Francisco eight consecutive quality starts. In Cain's last four outings he has totaled 29 1-3 innings while allowing just seven runs on 18 hits and striking out 22.


Slumping

John Danks, Chicago White Sox (6-12, 4.36 ERA)

Danks was borderline on fire in June, July, and some of August, but he has been a wreck over his past three starts. In that span, the southpaw has pitched 15 2-3 innings and has allowed 21 runs (19 earned) on 26 hits. Danks last took the mound on Monday against Detroit and gave up 11 hits and eight runs in five innings en route to a 14-4 loss.

Justin Masterson, Cleveland Indians (11-10, 3.20 ERA)

As Masterson's ERA suggests, he has been mostly effective all season long. His recent slide is not terrible, but the numbers are not what Cleveland has come to expect from the 26-year-old righty. Masterson has just one quality start in his last five trips to the mound and his past three outings have been especially mediocre. In 18 innings across three starts, Masterson has given up 23 hits and 18 runs. On Tuesday at Texas he lasted just five innings, giving up eight hits, three homers, and six earned runs.

Sunday Night Baseball: Cardinals at Phillies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies

Hanging onto playoff hopes by a thread, the St. Louis Cardinals visit the National League East-leading Philadelphia Phillies in the third game of a four-game set on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

PLAYOFF SCENARIOS

The Phillies entered Saturday needing only a win or an Atlanta loss to clinch the NL East, and they clinched with a 9-2 win over St. Louis. The Cardinals need a lot more. After Saturday's results, the Cardinals (82-69) are 6.5 games behind the Brewers in the NL Central and 4.5 games behind the Braves in the Wildcard race. The Phillies may be lacking in motivation, as they have all but clinched home-field advantage in the NL playoffs by virtue of their 98-52 record.

ANGRY BIRDS

The Cardinals have their backs against the wall and are playing like it. That much was evident on Friday night, in a gutsy 4-2 win over the Phillies in 11 innings.

“It was a great example of what we’ve been doing,” St. Louis' manager Tony La Russa said after the win. “The guys were outstanding. We hung in there and got a great win.”

The Cardinals have revived their postseason dreams by winning eight of 10, including two against the Brewers and a three-game sweep of the Braves.

SUNDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

St. Louis has found a second home on Sunday Night Baseball. This week’s game marks their fifth appearance in primetime on Sunday this season and fourth since July 31.

La Russa can’t be complaining about that since his team is 3-1 and is outscoring opponents 18-10 on Sunday Night Baseball. The Phillies have been the opposite; they haven’t played a primetime game on Sunday since May 8 and they have lost their only two appearances on Sunday Night Baseball this season.

If the Philadelphia crowd seems distracted don’t blame them. Michael Vick and the Eagles face off against the Atlanta Falcons on NFL Sunday Night Football at the same times as this matchup.

HOLLIDAY BREAK

St. Louis cleanup hitter Matt Holliday will miss Sunday after injuring his right hand while taking practice swings in the on-deck circle last week. Holliday will be replaced in the lineup by Allen Craig, who went 0-for-8 against the Phillies on Friday and Saturday, striking out three times and leaving eight runners on base. Craig is 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts in his career versus the Phillies.

CARPENTRY

Chris Carpenter had his third rough outing in four starts on Tuesday when the hapless Pirates scored four runs on 10 hits against him in seven innings during a 6-4 Pittsburgh win.

That game was on the road where Carpenter has had most of his struggles. He is 5-6 away from St. Louis with a 4.49 ERA and host opponents are batting .286 against him. He faced Philadelphia back in June, going a solid seven innings allowing one run in a 12-2 St. Louis win at home.

COLE AS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW

Philadelphia starter Cole Hamels was tagged for four earned runs in five innings in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

It was an uncharacteristic outing for Hamels, who had given up three or less runs in his previous eight starts. Hamels leads the NL with a 0.98 WHIP and his 2.71 ERA is in Top-6 material. He has yet to face the Cardinals this season.

NOTEWORTHY NUMBERS

- Albert Pujols is 8 for 17 in four games against the Phillies this season
- Cardinals are 10-2 in their last 12 vs. a team with a winning record
- Phillies are 10-4 in Hamels’ last 14 Sunday starts
- Cardinals are 4-0 in Carpenter's last four starts vs. Phillies
- Cardinals have won seven of last 11 against Phillies but have lost six of eight in Philadelphia

Hot lines: Sunday’s best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Houston Astros at Chicago Cubs (-150)

For the first time in franchise history, the Astros are 100-game losers.

Houston reached the century mark in the wrong column on Saturday, losing 2-1 at Chicago. The team now stands at 51-100, by far the worst record in Major League Baseball. No other squad has more than 91 losses.

But there is some good news for the Astros, and not just that they are going up against a 67-85 Chicago team. Brett Myers is getting the start on Sunday and he has been on fire of late.

"I just try to go out there and get quality starts," Myers explained after a recent outing. "If I get a win, I get a win. I'm just trying to help this ballclub win games, but it's always good to get a win for myself, too."

Quality starts? Myers has done a whole lot better than that. He boasts a 1.19 ERA in 22 2-3 innings over his past three starts. The righty is also 5-1 with a 1.41 ERA in seven career starts at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs are countering with Ryan Dempster, who has been decent recently but far from great. Chicago has lost five of Dempster’s last six starts.

Pick: Astros


Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox (125, 8.5)

The Boston Red Sox are on the verge of a historic collapse. They had an eight-game lead in the American League Wild Card race earlier this month, and now division rival Tampa Bay is within three.

Despite beating Tampa Bay on Friday, Boston is still 2-8 in its last 10 games (and it still trails this series 2-1 having lost on Thursday and Saturday). The Rays, on the other hand, have won seven of their last 10.

Sunday’s pitching matchup does not foreshadow a turning of the tide.

For the Sox, Tim Wakefield has failed to deliver a quality start in five straight outings. For the Rays, David Price is enjoying a streak of seven consecutive quality starts. In this seven-game stretch, Price owns a 1.61 ERA with 52 strikeouts in 50 2-3 innings.

Pick: Rays

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Ironic that Pitt/Syracuse bolted the Big East the day after founder of the conference, Dave Gavitt, passed away.

-- In his 24 years as a college football coach, Steve Spurrier has used 23 different starting quarterbacks.

-- Georgia Tech ran ball 50 times for an amazing 604 yards in its 66-24 win over Kansas, which apparently didn't practice defense last week.

-- Arizona Diamondbacks are batting .244 in innings 1-6, .260 from the 7th inning on, which helps explain their success in close games.

-- Out of the 517 entrants in the Hilton Handicapping contest, the best contest in America, 208 have Dallas (-3), 164 have Buffalo (-3) and 148 have the Ravens (-5.5). Those are the most popular picks.

-- Least popular picks (you only pick five teams a week) are the Rams/Seahawks (both 31), Denver (34), Vikings (37).


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


Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday.....

13) I would've paid significant money to hear Jim Boeheim's reaction to the news that Syracuse is moving to the ACC.

12) Ohio State completed four of 18 passes for 35 yards in a putrid 24-6 loss at Miami. Rest of the Big Dozen has to be happy with that news--looks like Wisconsin is far and away the best team in that league.

11) Iowa was down 24-3 with 3:11 left in the 3rd quarter, but rallied for a dramatic 31-27 win over Pitt, which is also moving to the ACC, despite it being a lot closer to the Great Lakes than the Atlantic Coast.

10) Bowling Green scored a TD with 0:03 left to play in the game, but Wyoming blocked the extra point and nipped the Falcons 28-27, making Wyoming 3-0 for the first time since 1996. Good for them.

9) Boston College is horrible, missing a PAT and a 23-yard FG with 0:44 left that would've given them the lead. Losing at home to Duke is kind of stuff that gets coaches fired.

8) Clemson converted 14-18 on third down and ended Auburn's winning streak at 17, coming back from down 14-0 to beat War Eagle 38-24. WR Sammy Watkins caught 10 balls for 155 yards and two TDs.

7) If Mississippi State is serious about being good in football, they can't play Auburn/LSU five days apart, national TV or no national TV. Just isn't fair to either the players or the coaches.

6) Penn State-Temple was kind of like watching two toothless guys in a hot dog eating contest, only for three hours-- Nittany Lions were really fortunate to escape Philly with a 14-10 win. Lou Holtz once fired his son Skip as his offensive coordinator. Maybe Joe Pa should fire his son Jay, the quarterback coach who rarely develops a decent quarterback.

5) Houston Cougars were down 34-7 with 5:11 left in third quarter down at Louisiana Tech, but rallied to win 35-34. With all these changes to who is in what college conference, could we get Louisiana Tech into C-USA and out of the freakin' WAC? Wouldn't that make sense? Why on God's green earth is Tech in the same league as Idaho?

4) Tulane 49, UAB 10. When was the last time the Green Wave won a road game by 30+ points?

3) Last year. Michigan State beat Notre Dame with a fake FG for a TD in overtime; not sure why they thought another fake FG would work this year, but they tried one down 21-10 near halftime and it failed about as miserably as a play can fail. Sometimes its smarter to be conservative.

2) Utah crushed BYU 54-10 in Provo, in the first rivalry meeting between the teams in a non-conference game. I honestly believe that its stupid to be an independent, don't think it develops mental toughness. If I were an advisor to BYU, I'd advise them to sign on with the Big 12. Like now.

1) Oklahoma State-Tulsa game was delayed by cruddy weather; kickoff was around 1:15 ET. Seriously. I'm not kidding. It is 1:30am as I sit and type this, and the Cowboys just ran a kick back for a TD with 7:52 left in the first quarter. Game ended little after 4:30am. OSU wins 59-33.
