Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Odds to win the 2013 national championship in basketball........

9-2-- Indiana-- Not sold on the Hoosiers away from home.

9-2-- Miami-- Coach has been to Final Four; are they underrated?

6-1-- Florida-- Totally dominating a sub-par SEC.

7-1-- Michigan-- Lack of inside game could hamper them.

8-1-- Louisville-- Guards have to become more consistent.

10-1-- Duke-- Look at these odds; now why was Duke ranked higher than Miami in the polls until this week?

12-1-- Kansas-- Hard to erase TCU loss from my memory.

12-1-- Michigan State-- Sleeper. Tournament-tested coach.

*****

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but...........

13) I watch more college basketball than anyone you know, and I'll say this: it would help the game to reduce the number of timeouts coaches can use, say to maybe one timeout per team, per half. TV timeouts are enough for a coach to instruct his players. Seriously, let the players play!!!!!

12) Golfer Charlie Beljan played in same group as Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els Saturday; when round was over, Beljan had the two players sign his sun visor as a souvenir, unusual for a pro to do.

Sunday, when Beljan got to 18th tee to start his playoff with John Merrick, Jerry West was there as one of the tournament organizers. Surprised Beljan didn't get West's autograph to add to his collection.

11) The Dick's Sporting Goods commercial with Arnold Palmer narrating and telling golfers to "....swing their swing" is an excellent commercial.

10) The field of 64 for the Match Play tournament was set after last week, but the actual 1-64 seeding wasn't finalized until after Riviera; as an example, Fredrik Jacobsen jumped from 63rd seed to #47 with his excellent tourney this week, so he'll face Ernie Els in first round, not Eldrick Woods.

9) The new basketball league that will be formed by the non-football teams from the Big East could possibly include Siena or Richmond, if they wind up with a 12-team league. There would be two six-team, geographically based divisions. All schools would be religiously-affiliated, except for Richmond and Butler, if the Spiders are the 12th team.

8) John Farrell bolted Toronto to manage the Red Sox; Blue Jays went out and got lot of players, so they're favored to win AL East, with an 86.5 total for wins, while Boston's total is 79.5, 4th-highest in AL East. Was this move a good career move for Farrell, long-term?

Farrell is the Red Sox' third manager in three years; not an easy place.

7) Pitt led Notre Dame 19-3, then Mike Brey got a technical and the game swung completely in Brey's favor. Dreadful, ugly 51-42 loss for Pitt, which got beaten up physically by the Notre Dame big guys.

6) USC just fired its baseball coach; their football program is in disarray and they already fired basketball coach Kevin O'Neill this season; would be good if they removed the interim tag from Bob Cantu and made him basketball coach full-time. Trojans are much improved since the coaching change- their kids are just so much more relaxed now.

5) Amazing amount of attention was given to Michael Jordan's turning 50 last week; to me, when Jordan hit .202 in his one year of minor league baseball, it was an underrated feat. There are professional baseball players who don't hit .200 in AA. Jordan hadn't played baseball since high school.

4) We'll hear a lot about Daytona this week and Danica Patrick having pole position Sunday, but over the last decade, the average finishing position for the pole-sitter at Daytona is 19th, so its no guarantee of anything.

3) Baseball will not expand instant replay for this season, but they will for 2014, which is good news; not sure whay they can't do it this year, but better late than never. Too many missed calls last year on fairly easy plays.

2) You see those old clips from the 80's, of Jerry Buss getting trophies from David Stern after the Lakers won NBA titles, and then you realize the CBS announcer in those shots is Brent Musberger, and you realize what a great career he has had. He was a minor league umpire when he was 19, in the old Pioneer League. When I'm 73, I hope I have his energy.

1) Wednesday is one of our more underrated sports days of the year; all day long, Match Play golf is on TV, 32 first round matches, then ton of hoop on at night. Pretty good day for a Wednesday in February.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

The Georgetown Hoyas are the hottest team in college hoops, winning seven in a row SU and ATS. Their most recent victory - a 62-55 road win over Cincinnati as 4-point underdogs – has Georgetown locked in a three-way tie with Syracuse and Marquette atop the Big East at 9-3 in conference play. The Hoyas already have a win over the Golden Eagles and can put some space between them and the Orange with a victory at Syracuse Saturday.

But before Georgetown invades the Carrier Dome, it hosts Big East bottom-feeder DePaul Wednesday. The Blue Demons, however, aren’t going to roll over. They recently snapped a nine-game losing skid and have covered in three straight outings. DePaul, which is 6-2 ATS on the road, covered at Georgetown last year and is 3-1 ATS in its last four versus the Hoyas.

Letdown spot

We caught the Philadelphia Flyers with their guard down at the start of the NHL season, coming off an intense home opener with the rival Penguins only to fall flat versus the Sabres the next night. History has a tendency to repeat itself, especially in compressed schedules like this year’s lockout-shortened slate which leaves little time for correction.

Philadelphia finds itself in a similar situation, visiting Pittsburgh Wednesday before returning home to host floundering Florida Thursday. The Flyers, who have a frantic schedule this week with three games in four nights, could be low on gas by the time they play the Panthers. That game is the first one back in Wells Fargo Arena after a six-game road trip.

Scheduling spot

The Boston Celtics needed the All-Star break more than any team in the league. Their aging roster is down three players – Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger, Leandro Barbosa – and star small forward Paul Pierce is nursing a pinched nerve in his neck. The Celtics went into the four-day layoff on a high note, winning eight of nine games (7-2 ATS) before the break, but face a daunting challenge starting Tuesday.

Boston opens the second half of the schedule on a five-game Western Conference swing, beginning in Denver Tuesday. The Celtics, who are a dismal 8-15 SU and 7-15-1 ATS on the road, then travel to Los Angeles (Lakers), Phoenix, Portland and Utah. In fact, Boston plays at home only twice in the next 11 contests – a span of nearly a month.

NFL combine props: Alabama's Lacy won't run

Alabama's Eddie Lacy, NFLDraftScout.com's No. 1-rated running back and No. 36 prospect overall, will miss this week's NFL scouting combine after injuring his hamstring.

Lacy suffered a small hamstring tear during training last week, but hopes to be able to work out for scouts in time for Alabama's March 13 pro day.

Here are a few combine props available to bettors at UWIN:

Best time recorded in the 40 Yard Dash - over/under 4.35 seconds

2012 best: Central Florida CB Josh Robinson ran the gauntlet in 4.33 seconds.

All-time best: Titans’ RB Chris Johnson ran the dash in 4.24 in 2008.

Most bench presses by any player - over/under 42.5

All-time best: Oregon St. DT Stephen Paea with 49 in 2011.

2012 best: Memphis DT Dontari Poe with 44

Highest vertical jump by any player - over/under 42.5 inches

All-time best: Ohio State CB Donald Washington with a 45-inch leap in 2009.

2012 best: UConn WR Kashif Moore with a 43-inch leap.

Odds are -114 for all wagers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Study group: Tuesday’s Top 25 NCB betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Indiana at (5) Michigan State (-1.5)

A five-game winning streak has Michigan State knocking on the door to sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Michigan State has not lost since dropping a 75-70 decision in Bloomington, Ind., on Jan. 27 and is currently tied with the Hoosiers atop the conference. The Spartans have held their last four opponents to an average of 57.8 points and sit second in the Big Ten in scoring defense (59.1). The Hoosiers lead the Big Ten in scoring offense (82.9) and have gone for 80 or more points in four of their last five victories. Indiana is 1-8 ATS in the last nine meetings at Michigan State.

(20) Marquette at Seton Hall (+5.5)

Marquette has won three of four following Saturday's impressive 79-69 victory over Pittsburgh that extended its home winning streak to 23 games - the fourth-longest active streak nationally. The Pirates are careening in the other direction, having dropped seven consecutive games and 11 of their last 12 to move within one game of the conference cellar. Marquette has won 10 of 12 meetings overall but Seton Hall captured the last home matchup in March 2011. The Pirates are 8-1 ATS in their last nine Tuesday games.

Duquesne at (15) Butler (-16.5)

Before they take on a difficult stretch run, the Butler Bulldogs get one more very winnable game when they host last-place Duquesne. The Bulldogs will enter a game behind first-place and nationally ranked Virginia Commonwealth in the Atlantic 10 and one-half game back of Saint Louis. The Bulldogs are coming off a 68-63 win at Fordham on Saturday. After scoring less than 70 points in eight straight games, the Dukes erupted for 84 at Temple before suffering a 67-62 loss to Rhode Island Saturday. The Bulldogs are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall.

(24) VCU at Saint Louis (-3.5)

With regular-season games dwindling, the winner of Tuesday's tilt between Virginia Commonwealth and Saint Louis might very well be to determine the Atlantic 10 champion. The Billikens find themselves a half-game behind the Rams, who are on top in their inaugural season in the conference. Both teams have responded to two-game slumps with extended winning streaks (five for Virginia Commonwealth, seven for Saint Louis) and it'll be a battle of offense against defense to see which streak continues. The Rams enter boasting the league's top scoring offense, averaging over 78 points per game, over five points better than the next-best team. But the Billiken defense, the Atlantic 10's best, has allowed just 104 combined points in the past two games. Saint Louis is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games overall.

Virginia at (2) Miami-Florida (-8)

Virginia shot 58.5 percent from the field in Saturday’s 93-81 loss at North Carolina. That’s the Cavaliers’ best shooting in a defeat since 2003, when they made 59.2 percent in a 78-77 loss at Clemson. Virginia is also holding its opponents to 54 points per game and is ranked first in the ACC in scoring defense. Miami extended its winning streak to 13 games with a thrilling win at Clemson Sunday and is now one win shy of tying a school record of 14 consecutive victories. The Hurricanes are undefeated in ACC play with a 12-0 mark and 5-0 all-time at home against the Cavaliers. Miami is 14-3 ATS in its last 17 home games.

(4) Florida at Missouri (+4.5)

Florida shot 59.3 percent from the field and forced 21 turnovers in an 83-52 triumph over Missouri on Jan. 19. Each the Gators’ 11 SEC victories have come by at least 17 points, but Missouri has been almost as dominant at home, going 14-0 at Mizzou Arena with 12 of those wins coming by at least 14 points. Florida is 6-1 ATS in its last seven road games.

Celtics at Nuggets: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Celtics at Denver Nuggets (-8.5, 203)

Most teams enjoyed a fairly quiet All-Star weekend, but the Boston Celtics managed to make news when center Kevin Garnett said he will not waive his no-trade clause with Thursday’s trade deadline fast approaching. As a result, Garnett is fully expected to accompany the Celtics on Tuesday when they visit the Denver Nuggets, who entered the All-Star break on a three-game losing streak.

Boston is 8-1 since losing point guard Rajon Rondo with a season-ending knee injury and stands a season-high four games above. 500. Despite its recent skid, Denver is fifth in the Western Conference standings and boasts an impressive 22-3 home record. The teams combined for one of the most memorable games of the season at TD Garden on Feb. 10, when Paul Pierce recorded a triple-double with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists in the Celtics’ 118-114 triple overtime win.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Comcast SportsNet New England (Boston), Altitude (Denver), NBATV

ABOUT THE CELTICS (28-24, 21-28-3 ATS): In addition to losing Rondo, the Celtics have also been hit with season-ending injuries to rookie Jared Sullinger and veteran Leandro Barbosa over the past three weeks. The team has responded by focusing on its defense in recent weeks, including the Celtics’ 71-69 win over Chicago in the final game before the All-Star break. Boston forced 22 turnovers and held the Bulls to 36.5 percent shooting in the win. Forward Jeff Green has stepped up his play with Rondo out, and he's averaging 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in the last nine games. Garnett should be rested after playing only six minutes in the All-Star game on Sunday.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (33-21, 32-22-0 ATS): Denver, which has won three straight at home against the Celtics, appears content to stand pat at the trade deadline with one of the deepest rosters in the NBA. Forward Kenneth Faried was selected the MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday after scoring a game-high 40 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Faried also competed Saturday in the dunk contest, where he scored a perfect score on his second dunk before falling to eventual winner Terrence Ross of Toronto. The second-year forward is averaging 12.3 points and 9.7 rebounds while starting all 54 games. Point guard Ty Lawson, averaging 15.8 points and 7.1 assists, had 29 points and nine rebounds against Boston two weeks ago.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
* Home team is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings.
* Celtics are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Denver.
* Over is 16-5 in Nuggets last 21 overall.
* Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall.
* Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Boston is beginning a five-game road trip and won’t return to the TD Center until March 1 against Golden State.

2. Andre Iguodala (neck) and Gallinari (sinus infection) each missed Denver’s final game before the All-Star break, but both are expected to return against Boston.

3. Denver is 241-81 (74.8 percent) at the Pepsi Center under coach George Karl.
