Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Some NFL knowledge, with Week 2 bearing down on us........

-- Carolina covered once in its last eight divisional home games.

-- Bucs are 8-2 in last 10 games as non-diviional road underdog.

-- Seahawks covered five of their last six tries as home underdog.

-- Cowboys are 1-8 vs spread in game following their last nine wins.

-- Vikings are 3-10-1 vs spread in last 14 games at AFC squads.

-- 49ers are 9-0-1 against spread in their last ten home games.

*******

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend........

13) The RGIII bandwagon rolls into St Louis, as Robert Griffin faces the team that got three #1 picks and a #2 pick in exchange for the draft pick Washington used to select the Baylor QB. Rams will play defense better than a rudderless New Orleans team that is still learning Steve Spagnuolo’s system. Jones Dome will be lot quieter than the Superdome was.

12) Last time Tennessee was favored to beat Florida was 2004; second tough road game in row for Gators, who came from behind to beat the Texas Aggies last week.

11) Tampa Bay Rays visit the Bronx this weekend, in a surprisingly big series, for both sides. Three weeks to go in the baseball season, and the playoff picture is still very unclear, especially in the AL.

10) Michael Vick played poorly in the Dawg Pound last week; he needs to play better against a Raven team that’s covered just twice in last 10 games following an appearance on Monday Night Football.

9) Pitt has already lost to Youngstown/Cincinnati, they’re an 11-point home dog to Virginia Tech this week. Not good for a team with a senior QB, even if they are on their 4th head coach in the last three years.

8) Has anyone asked if Stephen Strasburg will have an innings limit again next year? The actual Tommy John threw 200+ innings the first five years after he had the first TJ surgery, but he was in his 30’s then.

7) NFL schedule makers put Denver on at night five times in season’s first eight weeks; they should hit ratings gold in Atlanta Monday night, two good ballclubs.

6) Notre Dame hung 50 points on Navy in Ireland, now after a week off, the Middies visit troubled Penn State, which had another starter defect this week. Tough to prepare for Navy’s option attack in less than a week.

5) Phillies/Brewers are both charging in NL Wild Card race. Two of the three teams they’re chasing, Cardinals/Dodgers have a 4-game series with each other this weekend. The charging teams need a Card-Dodger split this weekend, and obviouly, they need to keep winning themselves.

4) Dolphins/Colts both have winnable games at home; since both are starting rookie QBs, there’s no guarantees they’ll have many more winnable games the rest of the year, especially the Dolphins, who are catching a Raider team in a brutal spot, making a cross country flight after playing the late game Monday night.

3) One of the stranger things this weekend will be arrogant Bronx Bomber fans rooting for the A’s, since the Orioles are in Oakland for three games. A’s will be in the Bronx next weekend, as part of a dicey Detroit-Bronx-Texas road trip.

2) Utah-BYU has always been a bitter rivalry, but with Utes going to Pac-12 and BYU becoming independent, it just isn’t the same. Now comes word Utah QB Jordan Wynn has given up football after suffering another shoulder injury last week. Could be a long year for the Utes.

1) Its been 10 years since the Steelers started a season 0-2; they’ll need to protect Big Ben Sunday to beat the Jets and even their record. Hard to tell how much off last week’s 48-28 Jet win was about the Jets and how much was about the woeful Buffalo Bills.

Canadian Bacon: Week 12 CFL betting preview
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With only eight weeks remaining on the CFL schedule, the playoff picture is beginning to take shape. Here are a few tidbits on the Week 12 matchups:

FRIDAY

Winnipeg at Calgary (-9.5, 52.5)

The Calgary Stampeders (6-4) try to extend their win streak to four when they host the slumping Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-8) at McMahon Stadium on Friday. Stampeders RB Jon Cornish ran for a career-best 185 yards on 16 carries to lead Calgary over Edmonton last week and the Bombers dropped their third straight contest with a narrow 25-24 defeat at the hands of Saskatchewan in Week 11.

Trends
* Blue Bombers are 4-0-2 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Under is 5-1 in Stampeders’ last six games overall.
* Stampeders are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games.

SATURDAY

Edmonton at Hamilton (-3, 54)

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-7) will try to halt a five-game losing skid when they host the Edmonton Eskimos (5-5) on Saturday. The Hamilton defense ranks dead last in the league in total yards allowed, passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed and points allowed, a major reason why the over is 8-2 in Ticats games this season.

Trends
* Hamilton is 8-2 O/U this season
* Tiger-Cats are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Eskimos are 5-1 ATS in their last six Saturday games.

Toronto at BC (-7, 46.5)

Two of the top teams in the league square off at B.C. Place this weekend, as the British Columbia Lions (7-3) entertain the Toronto Argonauts (6-4). The Lions are coming off a convincing victory over Montreal, marking the club’s fifth win in the last six games. B.C. has won four straight and 14 of its last 15 games over the Argos. Toronto beat up on Hamilton the past two weeks to post back-to-back victories.

Trends
* Argonauts are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in B.C.
* Lions are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games.

SUNDAY

Saskatchewan at Montreal (-6, 53.5)

The Montreal Alouettes (6-4) look to get back to their winning ways when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders (5-5) on Sunday. Als QB Anthony Calvillo had his lowest passing total of the season in last week’s loss to B.C., completing only 16 attempts for 152 yards and a score. The Roughriders have posted back-to-back victories but also have issues at QB. Backup quarterback Drew Willy helped Saskatchewan slip past lowly Winnipeg 25-24 last week in relief of Darian Durant. The first-string signal-caller suffered a hip flexor injury early in the contest and may be sidelined against the Alouettes.

Trends
* Roughriders are 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings in Montreal.
* Under is 13-2-1 in the last 16 meetings in Montreal.
* Alouettes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games.

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

STREAKING

Kris Medlen, Atlanta Braves (8-1, 1.64)

Medlen saw his consecutive scoreless innings streak end at 40 2/3 innings Saturday but he still picked up the win in the Braves' 11-3 victory over the Mets. The right-hander has been one of the best hurlers in the bigs during the second half of the season and has picked up wins in each of his last six outings. He takes the bump in Washington for a key divisional matchup against the Nationals.

Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Reds (12-7, 3.66)

Arroyo allowed one run over seven innings and was the winning pitcher Saturday against the lowly Astros. The righty continues to cruise, posting a 5-0 record over his last six starts. He takes the hill in Miami next.

SLUMPING

Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boston Red Sox (1-5, 7.20)

Matsuzaka will make at least one more start for the Red Sox, reports Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. The right-hander has yielded 11 earned runs over his last five innings pitched and toes the rubber against the Blue Jays on Friday.

Bruce Chen, Kansas City Royals (10-12, 5.36)

Chen gave up five runs over six innings against the White Sox on Saturday. The lefty was lit up for three home runs in the outing and has now allowed seven homers over his last two starts. He faces the high-powered Angels next time out.
