Monday’s betting tips: MNF bettors like Lions and over

Who’s hot

NFL: Detroit is 16-5-2 against the spread in its last 23 games overall.

MLB: Texas has won 14 of its last 16 overall.

NHL: Phoenix has won eight of its last 11 meetings with the Stars in Dallas.

CFL: The under is 12-2 in the last 14 meetings between the Roughriders and Eskimos in Edmonton.

Who’s not

NFL: Chicago is 1-5 against the spread in its last six overall.

MLB: Detroit is 2-7 in its last 9 games as an underdog of +110 to +150.

NHL: St. Louis has won just six of its last 26 dates with Calgary.

CFL: Toronto is 2-11 against the spread in its last 13 meetings with Montreal.

Key stat

258 – Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo needs 258 passing yards Monday against the Toronto Argonauts to become the CFL’s all-time leading passer. Damon Allen currently holds that record with 72,381 passing yards. Calvillo has thrown for 3,963 yards this season already with 28 touchdowns to go against just four interceptions. The Alouettes are set as 12.5-point favorites with the total at 54.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Magglio Ordonez, Detroit Tigers – Ordonez will miss the rest of the postseason with his broken right ankle. Ordonez had talked about retirement while playing his 15th season this year and he could not overcome ongoing issues with his surgically repaired ankle. The 37-year-old Ordonez batting .309 with 294 career homers and 1,236 RBIs with the Chicago White Sox and Tigers. Sunday's Game 2 of the American League Championship Series was postponed because of rain. It has been rescheduled for Monday.

Game of the day

Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions (-5, 47)

Notable quotable

"We're in the playoffs, we're playing the Texas Rangers for the championship — I love it. It's exciting. It's a great opportunity for us to show how tough we are, and we're tough. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us. I don't want anybody feeling sorry for us. We'll make do." – Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland about losing Ordonez and Delmon Young to injury.

Notes and tips

The Detroit Lions opened as a 6-point favorite in their big Monday Nighter against the Chicago Bears and are now holding around -5.5 with a 47-point total. As of Sunday evening, about 59 percent of *********** Consensus bettors were backing the Lions with nearly double the over bets to under wagers. Detroit is 13-3-2 against the spread in its last 18 games against NFC foes and nine of the club’s last 11 home games have played over the total.

NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan suspended Minnesota Wild forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard for two games on Sunday following his hit on Columbus Blue Jackets wing Matt Calvert. Bouchard used a high stick which bloodied the mouth of Calvert following a faceoff in Saturday's contest. Calvert lost teeth and needed stitches on his lip, but returned to the contest in the third period. Columbus coach Scott Arniel was upset that Bouchard took a "baseball swing" at Calvert's face and did not receive a major penalty. "It's definitely an intent to injure," Arniel said. "They said it was deflected off our guy's stick and into his face. Our whole bench saw it. Their whole bench saw it." Bouchard will miss Monday's game against the New York Islanders and Tuesday's contest versus the Ottawa Senators.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders won’t have quarterback Darian Durant under center in Monday’s must-win game against the Edmonton Eskimos. Durant sprained his foot on Oct. 1, leaving Ryan Dinwiddie to take the snaps as the Roughriders look to keep their push for the postseason going. Dinwiddie has just one CFL start under his belt and the Roughriders are set as 6-point underdogs at Edmonton.

Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

-- Last time Florida-Florida State-Miami were all unranked in the college football top 25 was December 6, 1982.

-- Devils got shut out in their season opener Saturday, first time in their history they got blanked on Opening Night..........Ottawa Senators lost their first two games, but scored eight goals, all in the third period.

-- Brewers beat St Louis 9-6, moving to 17-0 at Miller Park this year in games started by Zach Greinke.

-- Winner of Game 1 has won 16 of the last 19 NLCS.

-- Bryce Molder won the PGA Tour event in San Jose; he is 29th first-time winner on Tour since last time Eldrick Woods won a tournament.

-- Nine different Pro Football Hall of Famers had Al Davis introduce them at their induction ceremony in Canton. Quite an honor.

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

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up an NFL Sunday........

13) You cannot turn the ball over in the NFL and win; teams that were -2 or worse in turnovers Sunday were 0-4, losing by an average of 19 points.

12) Houston outgained the Raiders by 195 yards, but an inspired Oakland team hung on for a 25-20 upset win, picking off a pass in their end zone on the last play of the game. Raiders were playing with heavy hearts after the passing of longtime owner/GM Al Davis.

11) Tim Tebow came off the bench and damn near rallied Denver to a win over the Chargers, who had led 26-10 with 13:35 left. Tebow had one play from the San Diego 30-yard line with 0:01 left, but a pass was broken up, as Norv Turner's team improved to 4-1 with a 29-24 road win.

10) Seattle snapped a 9-game losing streak in the Eastern time zone when they upset the Giants 36-25 at Swamp Stadium, despite turning ball over twice in the Giant red zone in the game's first 21:46. Giants converted once on 12 third down plays and turned ball over five times, (-2) leading to the 20-yard advantage in average field position that Seahawks enjoyed.

9) 49ers are now +10 in turnovers after thrashing the overrated Bucs 48-3. Tampa Bay had been 9-0-2 vs spread in their previous 11 road games, but had a cross country road trip after a rare Monday night appearance.

8) Niners have now gone 27 games without allowing a rusher to gain 100+ yards, the longest active streak in the NFL.

7) Drew Brees has thrown a TD in 32 consecutive games, only Favre (36) and Unitas (47) have had longer streaks.

6) Pittsburgh waxed the Titans 38-17; the shoe Ben Roethlisberger wears on his injured foot is a size larger than the one on his healthy foot, so all the protective gear on the injured foot can fit inside the shoe.

5) Indianapolis led the Chiefs 17-0 with 11:13 left in the second quarter, but lost 28-24; on their first four drives, Kansas City ran 16 plays for 41 yards and two first downs. On their next six drives, Chiefs snapped the ball 46 times for 343 yards, 22 first downs and 28 points.

4) The catch Dwayne Bowe made on the TD pass that cut the Colts' lead to 24-21 was a truly great catch; plus, he was interfered with on the play.

3) Minnesota led the Cardinals 21-0 before the popcorn was done; really, with 6:25 left in first quarter, the Vikings already had TDs on drives of 18-24-25 yards, thanks to an INT, fumble and a 16-yard net punt. Minnesota has led four of five games at the half by 10+ points, but is only 1-4.

2) Teams that scored a defensive TD were 4-1 Sunday; only Denver lost.

1) Now that Cincinnati looks like they've got a keeper in rookie QB Andy Dalton, shouldn't they trade the rights to Carson Palmer and improve the team down the road? Why be spiteful and hurt your own team?

Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes (-13, 54)

Jeremaine Copeland and Cory Boyd are both frustrated by the way they are used in the offense. Copeland spoke out to TSN about it before Boyd voiced his complaints over Twitter.

Copeland says the Argos record would probably be much better if he was thrown the ball more often. So despite a change at QB, team spirit can’t get much lower in the Argos locker room with a 3-10 record.

Head coach Jim Barker even admitted he made a mistake by sticking so long with QB Cleo Lemon while saying he can now build around Steven Jyles. The only positive thing going for the Argos is that Chad Owens is about to become the only professional football player in history with more than 3000 combined yards two years in a row (he now has 2431).

Meanwhile, the Alouettes could secure a playoff berth with a win but all the attention will be on QB Anthony Calvillo. He is only 258 yards away from surpassing Damon Allen’s record for the most passing yards in a career in all of pro football history (CFL and NFL).

Pick: Montreal

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Eskimos (-6, 50.5)

The Eskimos are in the thick of the race for first place in the West while the Roughriders are in a survival mode.

The Eskimos defense has been impressive (ranked third in the league) while no team has given more points this season than Saskatchewan (385, almost 30 points per game). The Riders’ offense has only scored 275 points on the year and were been beaten by the Lions and the Stampeders by a combined score of 82-8 in their last two games.

After losing the first game of the season to the Eskimos, the Roughriders absolutely need this win to avoid being out of the playoff picture for the first time since 2001.

But the Eskimos offense is much more balanced and the rushing game might be the difference in this one. Edmonton averages 104 yards on the ground while the Riders have allowed 155 yards per game to opposing running backs.

Also note that the Roughriders have had their share of difficulties at Commonwealth Stadium, winning only three times in their last 16 trips to Edmonton.

Pick: Edmonton

Ice picks: Monday's best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tampa Bay Lightning at Washington Capitals (-165, 6.5)

The last time these two teams hooked up, the Tampa Bay Lightning sent the Capitals to the golf course by winning the Eastern Conference semifinal. Both teams look set to make another run into the postseason this year.

Tampa Bay got out of the gate with an impressive win at Carolina before dropping a 4-1 decision at Boston. They were outshot 42-26 against the Bruins and couldn’t convert on any of their five power play chances.

“We knew coming in that this trip was going to be a good test for us,” forward Adam Hall told the Lightning’s official website. “Obviously at the beginning of any season you want to come out strong and put your best foot forward, but at the same time we knew a lot of these teams were going to give us their best stuff.”

Washington surprised some people by giving Semyon Varlamov the start between the pipes in the club’s 4-3 overtime win over Carolina instead of Tomas Vokoun, their big offseason acquisition. Vokoun should start here and make a good first impression.

Pick: Washington

Carolina Hurricanes at New Jersey Devils (-150, 5)

The Carolina Hurricanes are going to be a tough team to play against this season.

With Cam Ward between the pipes and Jeff Skinner looking like he’s in for another monster season after winning the Calder last season, they’re going to be competitive most nights. Now that Skinner can be counted on to produce some secondary scoring, Eric Staal is even more dangerous.

He scored twice in Carolina’s 4-3 overtime loss to Washington, while Skinner drew assists on all three of Carolina’s goals.

"I thought we played an absolutely gritty, fantastic game," Canes coach Paul Maurice told reporters. "We were the better team for the first half. Last year we won games where Cam Ward had to be the difference and you weren't sure why you won the game. But we played a man's game tonight, everyone got off the bench and was involved and I'm really proud of that effort."

New Jersey was blanked 3-0 against Philadelphia in its first game of the season after ranking last in goals per game (2.09) last year.

Pick: Hurricanes

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

Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers (-150, 9)

After Game 2 was postponed due to rain, the Tigers and Rangers will try to get the game in Monday evening in Texas.

The Tigers will be up against lefty Derek Holland, who was far from upset about having his start pushed back a day.

"Getting this extra day of rest is the more important thing, especially to clear up some of the sinus stuff that I've got going on," Holland, who is 6-0 in his last seven starts, told reporters. "I can just kind of relax and watch more video. Maybe I'll pick up something that I didn't see before. So that's a good thing to have, too."

That’s probably more bad news for the Tigers, who will be without Magglio Ordonez for the rest the postseason after already losing No. 3 hitter Delmon Young for at least this series. To make matters worse, the club struck out 14 times in Game 1’s 3-2 loss.

Max Scherzer is expected to get the call for the Tigers Monday, going on three days’ rest after he threw 32 pitches in relief Thursday against the Yankees.

Texas has won each of its last four starts at home with Holland on the hill and a lot of things seem to be going against the Tigers in this one. We’ll ride with the Rangers.

Pick: Rangers
