Thursday’s betting tips: Bettors riding Broncos' home skid

Who’s hot

NFL: The New York Jets are 6-2 in their last eight as a road favorite.

NCAAF: Southern Mississippi is 7-1 against the spread in its last eight.

NCAAB: Michigan is 19-7 against the spread in its last 26 overall.

NHL: Pittsburgh is 8-3 in its last 11.

Who’s not

NFL: Denver is 7-19-2 against the spread in its last 28 home games.

NCAAF: Virginia Tech is 2-7 against the spread in its last nine.

NCAAB: Alabama is 1-7 against the spread in its last eight neutral site games.

NHL: The New York Islanders have lost 10 of their last 11 overall.

Key stat

13.53 – If you were crazy enough to bet on every Columbus Blue Jackets game so far this season, you’d be down 13.53 units already. Columbus has just three wins this season and is only 5-12 on the puckline. The Blue Jackets are set as huge -235 favorites in Boston Thursday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Willis McGahee, Denver Broncos - McGahee is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Jets. McGahee suffered a left hamstring strain in Sunday's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. After being limited in practice Wednesday, McGahee said he would test his hamstring in warmups Thursday. The Broncos lost backup running back Knowshon Moreno for the season with a torn knee ligament suffered in Sunday's game. With McGahee and Moreno both knocked out of the game early, Lance Ball rushed for 96 yards on 30 carries.

Game of the day

New York Jets at Denver Broncos (6.5, 40)

Notable quotable

"I don’t know what Royal Melbourne has done but these are probably the toughest greens I’ve ever played on. If you just lose your focus for a split second, you can make bogey or double or triple. You can three-putt easily. So I think the overall strategy of play in the golf course is quite fun, but the greens are just monstrous, really." – Y.E. Yang through an interpreter on the Royal Melbourne’s greens at the President’s Cup.

Notes and tips

The Denver Broncos may have covered won and covered in each of their last two, but they’ve had a terrible time against the number at home. They have dropped three straight against the spread in front of their home fans. Almost 70 percent of *********** Consensus bettors were jumping all over the visiting Jets, who were set as 6.5-point favorites as of Wednesday evening.

St. Louis Blues right wing Chris Stewart was suspended three games by the NHL on Wednesday for his hit from behind on Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall. Stewart was chasing the puck and pushed Kronwall into the boards. Kronwall remained on the ice for several moments and did not return to the contest. Stewart was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind. The 18th overall pick of the 2006 draft, Stewart collected three goals, two assists and 42 penalty minutes this season.

Tee times for Day 2 of the Presidents Cup have been moved up two hours due to the threat of rain and thunderstorms in Melbourne, Australia. The six Four-Balls matches will get underway at 9:35 a.m. local time Friday (9:35 p.m. ET Thursday). The forecast for Saturday's competition, which features Foursomes in the morning and Four-Balls in the afternoon, calls for a 70 percent chance of rain. The Presidents Cup got underway just after 9 p.m. ET Wednesday night (Thursday afternoon in Australia) with six Foursomes matches scheduled. The most anticipated matchup will pair Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker against Adam Scott and K.J. Choi.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Points per possession on drives that get inside opponents' 20-yd line:

Week 1) 473 points/109 red zone drives= 4.34 points/drive
Week 2) 548 points/113 red zone drives= 4.85 points/drive
Week 3) 441 points/98 red zone drives= 4.50 points/drive
Week 4) 482 points/104 red zone drives= 4.75 points/drive
Week 5) 412 points/86 red zone drives= 4.79 points/drive
Week 6) 360 points/78 red zone drives= 4.62 points/drive
Week 7) 375 points/72 red zone drives= 5.21 points/drive
Week 8) 370 points/79 red zone drives= 4.68 points/drive
Week 9) 367 points/75 red zone drives= 4.89 points/drive
Week 10) 378 points/98 red zone drives= 3.86 points/drive

You can see that last week was by far, the worst week for offenses on drives in the red zone.


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


Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Our bottom 5, top 8 in the NFL.......

32) Colts—Still have games with Carolina/Jacksonville to try and avoid winless season; they’ll get Andrew Luck even if they win a game.

31) Redskins—Lou Holtz once fired his son as offensive coordinator at South Carolina; the same fate could await Kyle Shanahan.

30) Rams—Defense and Number 39 are trying to play their way off this list. Could happen soon.

29) Browns—Still can’t believe they didn’t win that game Sunday. Would be playing Jags to go 5-5 if they had.

28) Panthers—Am actually interested in watching their game in Detroit this week. Not sure they belong on this list, but they are 2-7.

8) Ravens—Swept the Steelers, lost to Jaguars/Seahawks. Haven’t played well two weeks in a row. Nucelus of team ain't getting any younger.

7) Giants—High-pressure home game with Eagles Sunday night; better win, or the naysayers will be out with those second half of season stats.

6) Bears—Lovie Smith teams force turnovers. Lots of them. Wonder what line on this week’s game with Chargers was back in the summer?

5) Texans—A moment of silence for Matt Schaub’s foot. QBs for rest of year are Matt Leinart and Tyler Yates (UNC rookie). Only a bye this week will keep them here next week.

4) Saints—Was Sean Payton first NFL head coach to wear shorts during a game?

3) Patriots—Handed Jets their lunch again, mainly because Sanchez isn’t good enough to exploit their shaky pass defense. Now Tyler Palko’s Chiefs come to Foxboro Monday night. He’s not good enough, either.

2) 49ers—Should clinch division this month. Won/covered last seven games. Have +13 turnover ratio.

1) Packers—Will stay in this spot, even if they lose a game, which seems doubtful. Would losing a game take some of the pressure off?

Ice picks: Thursday’s best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Detroit Red Wings at San Jose Sharks (-135, 5.5)

It’s almost time to start getting a bit concerned about Henrik Zetterberg if you’re a Red Wings supporter.

While Detroit’s defense has been great all season, the offense has been spotty at best and Zetterberg is catching a lot of the blame. He is reportedly playing through a minor undisclosed injury but his numbers speak for themselves: six points in 16 games.

Zetterberg was held off the score sheet again in Detroit’s 2-1 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday, a defeat that raised some eyebrows in the dressing room.

"They did to us what we do to lots of teams," coach Mike Babcock told reporters. "That's dominate us. They outchanced us. They outplayed us. They were better. They were quicker. They were harder in the puck battles. I thought the score flattered us."

The Red Wings will bounce back with a better effort in the Shark Tank and we can only hope Zetterberg gets his act together.

Pick: Red Wings


Toronto Maple Leafs at Nashville Predators (-165, 5.5)

We’ll really see what the Toronto Maple Leafs are made of now.

After getting by with some questions in the crease over the past couple of weeks, the Leafs have a couple significant injuries to deal with.

Toronto dropped its fourth straight game Tuesday night, 3-2, to Philadelphia and also saw forwards Clarke MacArthur and Mikhail Grabovski leave the game with injuries. As of now, it looks as though Grabovski will be out about two weeks with a lower body problem, but no word has come out about MacArthur’s status.

Meanwhile, Nashville hasn’t been great at home this season, but the Preds did just mount a comeback win over Washington when they were down 1-0 with only five minutes left in the third.

Those are the kind of wins teams can rally around so we’ll eat the home chalk here.

Pick: Predators

LSU shot just 39% from floor in splitting first two games; losing 71-63 at Coastal Carolina was very bad loss. Tigers were 11-21 LY, 3-15 in the SEC LY- is it good to have four starters back? Northwestern has never been to NCAAs but has chance this year- they use Princeton offense, a tough offense to prep for. Wildcats have four starters back from 20-14 team that was 5-11 in Big 11. Now or never for Northwestern.

A&M is #2 pick in this, its last year in Big X. Mississippi State is 2-1, losing at home to Akron; talented but erratic Bulldogs lot three starters from LY's 17-14 team that was 9-7 in SEC, but they got talented transfer Moultrie from UTEP.

Red Storm won its first three games by 15-5-23 points, scoring 78 ppg- this is their first game in the Garden. Arizona lost its top two scorers from LY's 30-8 team; they won first three games by 9-8-10 points, beating pretty good mid-major teams. Wildcats gave up an average of 62 ppg in those three wins.

Other games

College funds: Thursday's best NCAAB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Texas A&M Aggies at Mississippi State Bulldogs (+4, N/A)

The Renardo Sidney experiment continues as the Bulldogs and Aggies tangle in the semifinals of the Coaches vs. Cancer

Sidney, the 6-foot-10, 270-pound mystery, is expected to suit up for Mississippi State Thursday after missing Saturday’s win over South Alabama with a groin injury, but outside of that very little is certain when you’re talking about Sidney.

He decided to work out with former NBA player John Lucas this summer instead of traveling to Europe with the team and has numerous issues with the NCAA before that. It seems that he’s still a work in progress.

"He still has a ways to go,'' Bulldogs coach Rick Stansbury told ESPN. "He's taking baby steps. So far, as in his life itself, has been better. He hasn't disrupted in practice. He's been a good teammate. That part of his life is a lot better. He continues to push himself. But he's got to push himself to get in shape and play more productive minutes. That's his challenge.''

Luckily for Stansbury, the Bulldogs have a pile of talent to go around.

Pick: Bulldogs


Arizona Wildcats at St. John’s Red Storm (Pick 'em, N/A)

The Wildcats lost both Derrick Williams and starting point guard Momo Jones from last year’s club and will have a tough time coming anywhere near their production. But while coach Sean Miller will have his hands full this year, so too will St. John’s bench boss Steve Lavin.

The Red Storm have five freshmen and a couple of juco transfers expected to play big roles for his club. All five starters are getting their first tastes of Division-I ball, which makes early season evaluations difficult.

“We’re a new team, we have lots of newcomers and are very young,” Lavin told reporters. “We like the skill and quickness that our team has exhibited to this point, but we don’t have the depth of size in terms of front line, and overall we’re a bit thin in terms of our rotation.”

The Wildcats head into this one 0-3 against the number but they should be able to earn their first payday here.

Pick: Wildcats
