Thursday’s betting tips: Boise bettors ignore ATS skid

Who’s hot

NFL: Houston is 6-1-1 against the spread in its last eight.

NCAAF: Boise State has covered the number in eight of its last 10 bowl games.

NHL: Buffalo has won nine of its last 12 games in Toronto.

NCAAB: Harvard has covered in nine of its last 13 home games.

NBA: Charlotte has covered in five of its last six matchups with Atlanta.

Who’s not

NFL: Indianapolis is 1-4 against the number in its last five home games.

NCAAF: Arizona State has dropped four straight against the number.

NHL: Anaheim has won just five of its last 28.

NCAAB: Illinois is 0-4 against the spread in its last four.

NBA: The over is 3-6 in the last nine meetings between Denver and Phoenix.

Key stat

33 - The Arizona State Sun Devils have allowed 33 points per game over their last six. They allowed 19 points per game over the first six games of the season.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Owen Daniels, Houston Texans – The Texans tight end remains questionable for Thursday’s game with a knee injury, though the team expects him to give it a go in warm ups. With wideout Andre Johnson already ruled out, missing Daniels could be a big loss for Houston. Daniels leads the team with 673 receiving yards.

Game of the day

Hoston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (6, 40)

Notable quotable

“I truly appreciate them. They come out with the Reggie signs, and no matter what the situation is they are always there cheering and it could be a little tough. Everybody said it would be a little emotional for me.” Indianapolis Colts wideout Reggie Wayne on Indy’s fans amid rumors that Thursday’s game against Houston could be his last home game as a Colt. The 33-year-old, who has just 59 catches and three touchdowns this season, is a free agent in the offseason.

Notes and tips

The Boise State Broncos are set as 14-point favorites against Arizona State in Thursday’s Las Vegas bowl and more than 72 percent of *********** Consensus bettors are backing the Broncos. Boise State has covered in eight of its last 10 bowl games, but comes into this game having dropped six straight against the number.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Bryant suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist Wednesday and is currently listed as day-to-day. However, the team hasn’t indicated whether it was a partial or a complete tear. Bryant was scheduled to sit out Wednesday’s preseason matchup with the Clippers leaving his status for Christmas Day’s season opener against Chicago in question.

Darryl Sutter will debut as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Kings Thursday at home against the Anaheim Ducks. Los Angeles fired coach Terry Murray earlier this week. Assistant John Stevens has been serving as interim coach for the past four games, going 2-2. Sutter has been out of hockey since resigning as general manager of the Calgary Flames in December 2010. He and Lombardi previously worked together in San Jose. The Kings are set as -175 favorites.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry injured his right ankle in Tuesday's exhibition game against Sacramento. Curry underwent surgery on the same foot in May. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated Wednesday after leaving the arena on crutches Tuesday night. The third-year guard was plagued by recurring ankle sprains last season, although he misses only eight games. Curry averaged 18.6 points, 5.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds last season for Golden State, which will face the Los Angeles Lakers in the season opener Sunday night.

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

Florida State Seminoles at Florida Gators (-8, 136)

This has all the makings of a classic offense vs. defense matchup.

The Gators rank fifth nationally averaging 86.1 points per game, while the Seminoles allow just 57.8 points per contest.

"We know coming in against a team like Florida State and those other (big) teams that if we don't rebound the ball, we could lose," Gators guard Erving Walker told reporters after pacing the club with 19 points in its recent blowout of Mississippi Valley State. "Their coach has them very disciplined."

The Seminoles also plan to switch up their defensive assignments a bit to combat a Gators club that fires about 60 shots per game. Florida State wants to pressure Florida’s guards high to take away the 3-point shot and force them into the paint.

Not like anybody hasn’t tried that before, but if they can pull it off, this could be close.

Pick: Seminoles


Illinois Fighting Illini at Missouri Tigers (-6, 138.5)

Illinois nearly got caught looking ahead to Missouri, escaping with a 64-60 win over Cornell on Monday as a big 16.5-point favorite. The unbeaten Tigers are the Fighting Illini's greatest test of the season.

The Tigers haven’t skipped a beat with first-year head coach Frank Haith at the helm. They rank second in the country in scoring, averaging almost 88 points per game. The Fighting Illini lead the all-time “Braggin’ Rights” series 27-14, but the Tigers have won the last two meetings.

The Fighting Illini's grind-it-out pace will be a contrast to the fast-and-furious style of the Tigers. The Fighting Illini do the most damage when feeding the ball inside to 7-footer Meyers Leonard. He scored 19 points and grabbed 18 rebounds versus Cornell, but has struggled with foul trouble at times this season.

Bradley transfer Sam Maniscalco looked like a budding floor general for Illinois earlier in the season, but is mired in a slump heading into Thursday.

Illinois may have a tough time keeping up in this one.

Pick: Tigers

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

Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers (-125, 5)

Something has to give when the Minnesota Wild visit the Edmonton Oilers Thursday.

Minnesota is 0-3-2 in its last five games as the club struggles with some significant injuries, while after a fast start Edmonton has won just two of its last 11 overall.

"We're not sitting here pouting or upset at the way we played," center Kyle Brodziak told reporters. "We didn't feel we played a bad game. We're in a bit of a slump right now. But what team doesn't go through a slump during the year?"

Brodziak has a point and Minnesota may get a big boost as Mikko Koivu is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last three games with a leg injury. Koivu isn’t just the club’s captain, but also its leading scorer with 28 points this season.

That may be enough to help the Wild snap this skid.

Pick: Wild


Florida Panthers at Ottawa Senators (-110, 5.5)

The Florida Panthers may be coming off a 2-1 loss to Ed Jovanovski's former team, the Phoenix Coyotes, but the veteran defenseman sees a lot of similarities between the success his old team had and what the Cats are doing this year.

The Panthers sat tied for third in the Eastern Conference with 42 points ahead of Wednesday’s action.

"We're not going to surprise anyone anymore," Jovanovski told reporters. "This is similar to Phoenix. Everyone said we were lucky, waited for us to fall off. And we finished with 107 points. If you have structure and maintain consistency, you'll have success."

The Panthers have had a terrible time against the Senators lately, having dropped seven straight meetings between the two teams. That doesn’t persuade us to take the home team here, but we’ll take a shot with the over.

Pick: Over

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Teams from CAA have been great underdogs in recent years, with George Mason/VCU both making Final Four runs, but this season, road underdogs of 7 or less points are a ridiculous 2-17 against the spread.

-- Middle Tennessee beat Ole Miss by 12 in Southaven, which had a predominantly pro-Rebel crowd. MTSU is 11-2 and very athletic.

-- Seton Hall is a surprising 10-1 after winning 69-64 at Dayton.

-- Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst will be Pitt's football coach, replacing Todd Graham, who bolted after one season.

-- Arizona State lost its third straight home game, 68-65 to Fresno State, another bad loss. Pac-12 is in rough shape so far this season.

-- I love watching the NBA, but unless DirecTV's price for the League Pass is 19.5% less than last year, I'm not buying it-- there are 19.5% less games this year than last, 66 instead of the normal 82.


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


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

13) Nine of 14 Cowboy games have been decided by 4 or less points; in their last four games, Dallas was outscored 66-33 in the second half. Curious to see if they finish the Eagles off and win the NFC East.

12) There are 32 leagues that play Division I college basketball. Ivy League, which doesn’t give athletic scholarships, is ranked #13, highest they’ve been in long time, ahead of the CAA-MAC-Horizon-MAAC, amongst others. Harvard might not give athletic scholarships per se, but their better players are not paying to go to college.

Its some non-athletic program they have and it is a loophole they use to get around the “no athletic scholarship” thing and its why they’re a top 25 team right now. Make no mistake about, Harvard is a very good team, and not because they shoot 3’s well, because they don’t. Their key players are legitimately good Division I players.

11) Ohio U’s hoop team is 10-1 after going to Cedar Rapids and waxing Northern Iowa by 16. Bobcats are a junior-laden bunch that is very impressive and will be heard from in March.

10) 49ers are on an unconscious roll, with a +25 turnover ratio and just tremendous special teams. The last time an opponent started a drive in 49er territory was in Week 3, back during baseball season. Impressive season they’ve put together.

9) Three weeks ago, the Colts were 10-15 on 3rd down in Foxboro; in their last six games other than that one, Indy is 20-81 (24.7%) on 3rd down. Go figure.

8) There is outrage in Quebec political circles because the new coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Randy Cunneyworth, doesn’t speak French. Sounds like nothing a 6 or 7-game winning streak wouldn’t solve.

7) According to letsfaceit.com, if you gave up smoking for a year, you would save yourself $2,872 a year. If saving your life isn’t a good enough reason to quit smoking, would saving $2,800+ a year help?

6) Louisville has only played one road game so far this season, but they pay for that imbalance in January, when they only play at home three times.

5) Mets supposedly lost $70M last year, which is hard to fathom, until you realize that their owners are friends with Bernie Madoff, who was known to make numbers do strange things.

Mets won’t have a team in the Florida State League this year; that was where players went to rehab injuries. Guess they figure with Reyes/ Beltran gone, they’ll be less injured players who will need rehab.

4) Jason Kubel’s home batting average was 40 points lower at Target Field than it had been in the Metrodome, which is a big part of why he now calls Arizona home.

3) Sad stat of the day: Rams converted only 2 of 13 on third down last week, which is sad enough, but on those 13 third down plays, the Rams gained a total of seven yards. 7. Seven. 0.54 yards per play. 19.44 inches per play. Unspeakably bad.

2) TCU won another bowl game and now that the Horned Frogs will be a Big X team starting next year, its doubtful coach Gary Patterson will be leaving Fort Worth anytime soon. He's an excellent coach.

1) Clippers play the Lakers three times this season; they haven't won a season series against their crosstown rivals since 1993. This better be the year they do it; right now, they've got the better team, with Kobe hurt.
