    Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

    -- Boise State suspended four players, including their PG and center, but went to Laramie and handed Wyoming its first loss, 63-61.

    -- Butler went to Philly, won its first-ever Atlantic 16 game, 72-66 over St Joe's; Rotnei Clarke was 6-10 behind the arc for the Bulldogs.

    -- Rutgers won 56-54 at St John's; I'm still adamant that Bruce Pearl is the guy for St John's. He'll be very popular in the Big Apple.

    -- Virginia beat North Carolina Sunday, but couldn't stand prosperity; they lost 55-52 at Wake Forest Wednesday, a bad loss for the Cavaliers.

    -- Ben McLemore scored 33 points, including a banked-in game-tying trey with 0:01 left, as Kansas held off Iowa State 97-89 in overtime.

    -- Got to get up early Saturday: Duke-NC State and Indiana-Minnesota are both noon tipoffs. Might be the two best games of the day.

    Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Random stuff on a winter day........

    13) Lot of mystery surrounding RGIII’s knee operation Wednesday; people who criticized the Redskins for drafting two QBs last spring are looking like dopes right about now.

    Speaking of operations, when was last time a doctor came out after an operation and declared it a failure? They're all great successes.

    12) Dallas-Detroit-Washington have all hired six HCs since 1997, most in the NFL; none of the three have played in an NFC title game since then, the only three teams not to.

    11) Cowboys are 22-26 the last three years; they’ve made the playoffs once in last five years and have one playoff win since 1996. Don’t think its all Rob Ryan’s fault. Or the former running backs' coach.

    10) Seahawks signed Ryan Longwell to kick the rest of the playoffs, and put Steven Hauschka on IR. They’re in a dome this week, so no big deal.

    9) How has Bengals’ DC Mike Zimmer not gotten a head coaching job? Seriously, what does he have to do?

    Now, for our top 8 NFL teams........

    8) Texans—Got bamboozled on a Monday night in Foxboro, which wound up costing them a bye and home field in this game. They’ll need a big effort to beat Brady, but could get a break with unusually warm January weather.

    7) Falcons— Lot of pressure on a coach who has zero playoff wins; you only get so many chances to be the #1 seed in the playoffs.

    6) Ravens—Huge QB mismatch in Denver this weekend; still wary of Raven squad that fired its OC in December.

    5) Packers—Playing on road this week because they lost at Minnesota in Week 17. With their passing offense, will warmer weather help them?

    4) Seahawks—Can a network please find Tom O’Brien and do a sitdown interview where he explains why he fired Russell Wilson at NC State? If Oprah can land an interview with Lance Armstrong, how hard can this be?

    3) 49ers—Colin Kaepernick’s first playoff game, against Aaron Rodgers. Live underdog, I’m thinking.

    2) Patriots—Can you imagine the ratings Manning vs Brady in an AFC title game would get?

    1) Broncos—Much like the Falcons, now is the hour for John Fox and the Broncos; they were gifted with the #1 seed with Houston’s late stumbles. They need to take advantage of it.

              Study group: Thursday's Top 25 NCAAB betting notes
              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              (18) Michigan State at Iowa (+1)

              The Spartans look for their first league win away from home when they visit Iowa. After falling at Minnesota on New Year's Eve, Michigan State was able to rebound at home with an easy 84-61 triumph over Purdue on Saturday. The buzz surrounding the Hawkeyes was somewhat warranted when they took the Indiana Hoosiers to the wire in their Big Ten opener on New Year's Eve. However, Iowa was no match for the Wolverines on Sunday, falling 95-67 in Ann Arbor. Michigan scored 76 points in the final 26 minutes, showcasing several highlight-reel plays that embarrassed the young Hawkeyes. Iowa is 6-1 ATS in its last seven overall.

              (3) Arizona at Oregon (+1)


              The Wildcats are off to their best start since the 1931-32 squad opened the season with 16 consecutive victories. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Arizona shot just 36.2 percent from the field in a close call against Utah last time out. Oregon is 10-0 at home and has won 16 consecutive games at Matthew Knight Arena dating back to last season. Arizona is just 1-4 ATS in its last five games overall.

              St. Mary’s at (8) Gonzaga (-11)


              Gonzaga has lived up to the hype after being touted as a potential Final Four team in the preseason, while Saint Mary’s cruised through a fairly easy nonconference schedule. This game features two of the WCC’s marquee players in Bulldogs junior forward Kelly Olynyk and Gaels senior point guard Matthew Dellavedova. The 7-foot Olynyk was named the WCC Player of the Week after averaging 23.3 points and 7.7 rebounds in victories at Oklahoma State, Pepperdine and Santa Clara. Gonzaga leads the WCC in scoring (80.7) and points allowed (63.1). The Gaels are 1-4 ATS in their last five games.


              Notable non-Top 25 games:

              Kentucky at Vanderbilt (+11.5)


              John Calipari's defending national champion Wildcats have already lost twice as many games as they did last season and are 0-2 on the road, while the Commodores snapped a two-game losing streak with a 64-50 victory over William & Mary on Jan. 2. Vanderbilt blocked a season-high 10 shots in that win and held the Tribe to just 34 percent shooting. The Commodores are 4-1 ATS in their last five games.

              UCLA at Utah (+5)


              UCLA, which has won seven straight games overall, hasn’t played a true road game this season but will get its first taste of hostility when they travel to Utah on Thursday in what will be the first high-altitude experience for most of its freshman-laden roster. The Bruins enter as the Pac-12’s top scoring team (79.9 ppg) with the conference’s best shooting percentage (.480), while Utah has improved its national ranking in opponent field goal percentage from 321st in the nation last season to 22nd so far this campaign. All six of Utah’s losses this season have come by seven points or less, while the Bruins are 4-1 in games decided by five points or fewer. The Utes are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.

              Arizona State at Oregon State (-4)


              Arizona State won its first two conference games for just the fourth time in 35 seasons and seeks a 3-0 start in Pac-12 play when it visits Oregon State. This will be only Arizona State’s second road game – the Sun Devils beat Texas Tech on Dec. 22. Oregon State lost its Pac-12 opener to Oregon in a contest in which the Beavers were outplayed on both ends of the court. The Beavers have struggled in the interior since losing starting center Angus Brandt to a season-ending knee injury and are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games.

              Miami-Florida at North Carolina (-5)


              North Carolina started the season ranked 12th in the nation, but an unranked Tar Heels’ squad looks to avoid a 0-2 start in ACC play when it hosts Miami. Virginia held North Carolina 29 points below its season average in a 61-52 loss on Sunday in the conference opener. The Tar Heels were outscored 11-2 in the final three minutes, losing for the second time in four games. Miami experienced a much more enjoyable start to conference play, beating Georgia Tech 62-49 on Saturday. The Hurricanes have won two in a row since ending December with losses to then No. 5 Arizona and Indiana State.

                The NBA All-Star game is just over a month away, so we thought it would be beneficial to examine which teams have the easiest and toughest schedules prior to the break beginning Feb. 15.

                Easiest schedules

                Denver Nuggets (20-16 SU, 22-14 ATS)


                The Nuggets are entering a friendly portion of their schedule Wednesday when they host the Magic. Denver plays 12 of its next 14 games at home and has covered in three of its last four games overall. This is important to bettors because the Nuggets boast an impressive 10-3 ATS mark at the Pepsi Center.

                Philadelphia 76ers (15-21 SU, 15-21 ATS)


                NBA schedule-makers saddled the Sixers with a daunting road schedule early in the season, but now Philly enjoys a stretch where it plays 12 of its next 15 games at the friendly confines of the Wells Fargo Center against relatively weak opposition. The Sixers play the Raptors and Bucks twice in that span and will also have the chance to beat up on the Magic, Bobcats, Wizards and Hornets prior to the break.

                Atlanta Hawks (20-13 SU, 13-19-1 ATS)


                Atlanta’s 20-13 SU record hasn’t translated into ATS success (13-19-1) this season, but the Hawks will have the opportunity to improve on that mark in coming weeks. Atlanta only plays one back-to-back set (Brooklyn, San Antonio) and has good balance to its schedule with no more than two consecutive games on the road or at home prior to the break. The Hawks have been a better road bet (8-8 ATS) than at Philips Arena (5-11-1).


                Toughest schedules

                Los Angeles Clippers (27-8 SU, 22-13 ATS)


                The Clippers have an impressive 15-5 home ATS mark but are slightly under .500 ATS on the road (7-8). Los Angeles will be road warriors prior to the All-Star break, playing 14 of its next 20 away from La La Land. The Clippers embark on a season-high eight-game road swing predominantly against Eastern foes beginning in Minnesota on Jan. 30.

                Houston Rockets (21-14 SU, 21-13-1 ATS)


                The Rockets boast one of the top offenses in the Association thanks to the addition of James Harden, but they’ll be tested with a vigorous schedule in the next month or so. Houston hits the road for 13 of its next 20 games, including stops in tough venues such as Los Angeles, Golden State, Utah, Boston and Indiana. The Rockets are the hottest bet in the league, covering in 11 of their last 12 games.

                Oklahoma City Thunder (26-8 SU, 20-13-1 ATS)


                It’s no secret the Thunder have some of the top talent in the league and are one of the better bets this season. But Oklahoma City begins a stretch where it plays nine of its next 10 away from home beginning Friday in Los Angeles. The Thunder will play three times at the Staples Center (twice vs. the Lakers, once vs. the Clippers) during that stretch.

                *All stats prior to action on Jan. 9.

                      New York Knicks at Indiana Pacers (-4.5, OFF)

                      The New York Knicks will be without suspended star Carmelo Anthony when they try to avoid a second consecutive loss - and their fourth defeat in six games - in a road game against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. The NBA handed Anthony a one-game suspension Wednesday for his attempts to confront Boston's Kevin Garnett after the Knicks' home loss to the Celtics on Monday. Anthony leads the team and ranks second in the league with 29 points per game.

                      Facing the red-hot Pacers would have been enough of a challenge with Anthony in the lineup. Indiana has won two straight and 11 of 14, including an 87-77 home win over Miami on Tuesday. It's the second of four meetings this season and the first in Indiana. The Knicks won 88-76 on Nov. 18 at Madison Square Garden behind a game-high 26 points from Anthony. The Knicks have not lost a season series to the Pacers since they were swept in four games in the 2007-08 campaign.

                      TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT, MSG (New York)

                      ABOUT THE KNICKS (23-11): Anthony's absence adds to an already depleted roster with point guard Raymond Felton (broken finger) and forward Rasheed Wallace (foot) out. The Knicks will need J.R. Smith (16.9 points, 5.2 rebounds) to pick up some of the scoring slack along with the frontcourt duo of Tyson Chandler (12.8 points, 10.5 rebounds) and Amar'e Stoudemire (10 points).

                      ABOUT THE PACERS (21-14): Indiana is one of the top defensive teams in the league, and it has been terrific at that end during its recent hot streak. The Pacers' frontcourt leads the way at the offensive end with David West (16.7 points, eight rebounds) and Paul George (16.7 points, 7.4 rebounds) tied for the team scoring lead. Point guard George Hill (14.7 points, five assists) recently returned from a groin injury that kept him out three games, but he had to leave against the Heat because of dehydration.

                      TRENDS:

                      * Knicks are 4-0 ATS in their last four Thursday games.
                      * Knicks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
                      * Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning SU record.
                      * Knicks are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six road games.

                      BUZZER BEATERS:

                      1. The Knicks are 17-2 when holding opponents under 100 points and 10-0 when allowing less than 90 points.

                      2. The Pacers have won eight straight home games dating to Dec. 7 against Denver. They are 13-3 at home this season and 47-18 in their last 65 regular-season games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

                      3. New York, which hosts Chicago on Friday, is 5-2 on the front end of back-to-back sets this season.



                      Miami Heat at Portland Trail Blazers (3.5, 196)

                      The Miami Heat strive to make their second contest of a six-game road trip more fun than the first when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. Miami scored a season-low 77 points during Tuesday’s 10-point loss to the Indiana Pacers, shooting just 41.2 percent from the field. Portland is a robust 12-4 at home – including eight straight victories – and is attempting to stretch its overall winning streak to four games.

                      The Trail Blazers have won 11 of their last 14 games after dispatching of the Orlando Magic on Monday. Portland’s home winning streak is its longest since claiming 12 straight during the 2008-09 campaign. The Trail Blazers are in third place in the Northwest Division. Miami has the best record in the Eastern Conference but has lost four of its last seven games. Two of the victories during the stretch came in overtime and the other was against the lowly Washington Wizards. The Heat are 7-7 on the road.

                      TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT, Sun Sports (Miami)

                      ABOUT THE HEAT (23-10): Forward LeBron James and guard Dwyane Wade are accustomed to having strong performances against the Trail Blazers. James is averaging 30.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 17 career games against Portland and is averaging 38.5 points over the last four contests. Wade is averaging 27 points in 17 career outings against the Trail Blazers and has averaged 35 over the last three meetings. James has scored 20 or more in all 33 games, the second-best such streak to start a season behind George Gervin, who did it in the first 45 games of the 1981-82 season.

                      ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (19-15): Portland’s victory over Orlando featured four players recording double-doubles. Forward LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points and 10 rebounds, center J.J. Hickson had 20 points and 15 rebounds for his 20th double-double of the season, point guard Damian Lillard had 18 points and 10 assists and forward Nicolas Batum had 16 points and 10 assists. The last time the Trail Blazers had that occur was back in the 1997-98 campaign when Brian Grant, Isaiah Rider, Damon Stoudamire and Rasheed Wallace all had double-doubles in a game against the Phoenix Suns. Guard Wesley Matthews has scored 20 or more points in each of the past three games, averaging 23.7 points during the stretch while making 14 of 22 3-pointers.

                      TRENDS:

                      * Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games.
                      * Under is 4-0 in Heat last four vs. NBA Northwest.
                      * Trail Blazers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games vs. a team with a winning SU record.
                      * Over is 7-0 in Trail Blazers’ last sene vs. a team with a winning SU record.

                      BUZZER BEATERS:

                      1. Miami has won its last three visits to Portland.

                      2. The Trail Blazers are 10-2 in games decided by six or fewer points.

                      3. The Heat signed F Jarvis Varnado to a 10-day contract on Wednesday. Varnado played in five games for the Boston Celtics earlier this season.]

                        Duke forward sidelined ahead of clash with NC State

                        Duke will be without one of its top players Saturday for a key clash at NC State.

                        Forward Ryan Kelly suffered a right foot injury during the Blue Devils’ 68-40 rout of Clemson Tuesday night and there is no timetable for his return.

                        Kelly is averaging 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game and has scored in double figures in 13 of Duke’s 15 contests.

                        Despite his impressive offensive numbers, Kelly is also a key cog for the Blue Devils on defense. Opponents are shooting just 22 percent against the senior and he ranks third in the country in fewest points allowed per play (0.53) behind San Diego State’s Jamaal Franklin and Missouri’s Phil Pressey.

                        Junior forward Josh Hairston, who averages 1.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, is the most likely player to fill Kelly's minutes.

                        Odds have not yet been released for Saturday’s game.
