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

13) One of the NFL’s newer traditions is that the Super Bowl champ opens up at home on the first Thursday night of the season, which this year is September 5; problem is, the Baltimore Orioles have a home game that night, so the Ravens asked them to move the game to an afternoon tilt, but the O’s are so far resisting doing that, since it’s the first game of a 4-game weekend series. Not good.

12) Kicker is the Ravens would rather open on the road September 5 than play at home that first Sunday night, because of the 3+-day advantage in preparation/rest for their Week 2 game, that comes with opening the season on a Thursday.

11) Orioles traded Joe Flacco’s younger brother to the Red Sox last week; he is a minor league third baseman who is a .252 hitter in four minor league seasons, mostly all in A ball. Wonder if that annoyed the Ravens, too.

10) Speaking of annoying, Bobby Valentine is close to signing a deal to be in SNY’s (Mets’ TV station) studios 10-15 nights this summer. Valentine just signed on as the new AD at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut.

9) NFL’s Hall of Fame game in Canton August 4: Cowboys-Dolphins.

8) Someone on Twitter actually researched this: of the 68 NCAA tournament teams, 52 wear Nike, 13 adidas, three Under Armour. Alrighty then.

7) ESPN figured out that Andrew Bynum is making $46,700 a day from the 76ers this season, and he won’t play a game for them. We need to invent the Blunder Hall of Fame, and give awards each year for stuff like this. Bynum would definitely be one of this year’s winners; either him or the guy who traded for him in Philly.

6) I’ve never had SPAM. It looks gross. Apparently people eat this stuff. I’m not sure why. Anyone out there who likes it or knows someone who likes it, please clue me in. I'm told its very salty.

5) Heat-Celtic game Monday night was ESPN’s highest-rated regular season NBA game, ever.

4) Maryland beat Duke two out of three this year; one of Terps’ players is Logan Aronholt, who spent the last three years playing for the Albany Great Danes, who play Duke Friday afternoon in Philly.

Wonder if Aronholt shared the Terps’ scouting knowledge on Duke with his former teammates. They’ll need all the help they can get.

3) It snowed all day Tuesday in beautiful downtown Albany, which is actually slushy downtown Albany; it is March 20, Opening Day is 11 days away and it snowed all day. That said, today is the first day of spring and spring will be welcome here this year, for sure.

2) It still boggles my mind that Super Bowl next February is in Swamp Stadium in New Jersey; what, the Arctic Circle was booked that day? San Diego isn’t good enough? Miami? Phoenix? It just seems wrong.

1) Robert Morris 59, Kentucky 57-- Wonder if this result pumps LIU up for its play-in game with James Madison tonight? Seeing a league rival have success on TV has to boost your confidence, no?

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

Gonzaga has long held a warm place in the hearts of college hoops bettors as the "little team that could". The Bulldogs, perennial Cinderellas in the NCAA tournament, are no longer long shots and enter this year’s Big Dance as one of the four top-seeded evil step sisters. It’s been a long climb to the top for the Zags and could be an even further fall if they get caught looking down the bracket.

Gonzaga opens against No. 16 Southern University out of the SWAC Thursday and oddsmakers have tabbed the Bulldogs as 21.5-point favorites.

Being a hefty fave is nothing new to Mark Few’s crew but going deep in the tournament is. Gonzaga has made it out of the first weekend only once in its last six NCAAs and is 4-7 ATS in that span. Southern has a history of tournament magic as well, knocking off No. 4 Georgia Tech as a No. 13 seed in the 1993 NCAA tournament. Chances are, bettors won't see the first No. 16-over-No. 1 upset but they want to be careful when giving all those points.

Letdown spot

The Oklahoma City Thunder test their playoff mettle with big conference clashes against the Denver Nuggets Tuesday - who have won 12 in a row - and the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday, two teams fighting for position in the Western standings. The Thunder have lost just once in their last nine outings heading into the Denver game, posting a 6-3 ATS mark in that stretch.

Following Wednesday’s road trip to Memphis, OKC turns the intensity down to a low hum with a trip to face the Orlando Magic Friday. These two teams tangled just last week, with the Thunder failing to cover the 17-point spread in a 117-104 win over Orlando at home. The Magic are stellar as double-digit dogs this season, boasting a 10-1 ATS record.

Schedule spot

When it rains it pours for the Vancouver Canucks, who have three wins in their last 10 outings heading into Tuesday’s home date with the St. Louis Blues. The Canucks’ recent skid has dropped them to seventh in the Western Conference – just two points ahead of the ninth-placed Phoenix Coyotes. Vancouver, which lost to the Minnesota Wild Monday, won’t get a chance to lick those wounds with a frantic schedule on tap this week.

The Canucks play five games in seven days, traveling to Phoenix, Los Angeles and Colorado before the end of the week. Sunday’s game against the Avalanche could be extremely taxing, coming from a sea-level contest versus the Kings Saturday to the thin-air of the Pepsi Center. Vancouver has just one win in its last five road games.

American League West preview: MLB's most interesting division

The American League West is the most interesting division heading into the 2013 MLB season.

One of the best players in baseball swapped teams, with Josh Hamilton leaving the Rangers for the Angels, and one of the worst teams in baseball swapped leagues, with the Astros leaving the NL Central for the AL West. On top of that, the A's are the surprise division champs after a late-season run last summer. There's never a dull day in the American League West.

Houston Astros (2012: 55-107 - -30.69 units, 80-75-7 over/under)

Division odds: +10,000
Season win total: 59.5

Why bet the Astros: Houston actually finished on a decent 15-15 run during its final 30 games of the 2012 season, compared to its awful 40-92 start to the year. Bud Norris is a decent wager at home where his ERA has been much better than on the road. Lucas Harrell was 11-11 as a rookie last season and will improve as he gets better command of his pitches. Wesley Wright allowed lefties to hit just .198 in 77 appearances last season. Jose Altuve should get better after hitting .290 last season, with 33 steals and 37 RBIs.

Why not bet the Astros: This is an awful team. Norris is terrible on the road and his past success against the Cardinals is now a non-issue. The rest of the rotation pitched awful last season with Alex White going 2-9 and Philip Humber sporting a 6.44 ERA for the White Sox. The lineup is sorely lacking in power and average. The bullpen is weak and must rely on Jose Veras and other sub-par pitchers.

Season win total pick: Under 59.5

Los Angeles Angels (2012: 89-73 - -9.42 units, 75-78-9 over/under)

Division odds: -125
Season win total: 91.5

Why bet the Angels: The lineup is even deeper from No. 1 thru No. 5 with the addition of Josh Hamilton. Mike Trout is an amazing leadoff hitter and Albert Pujols is hoping to avoid a slow start like last year. Erick Aybar hit .326 BA over the final four months of the season and Peter Bourjos is a solid hitter for the bottom of the order. The pitching rotation is intriguing with Jered Weaver, C.J. Wilson and Tommy Hanson leading the way. The bullpen is deep with Sean Burnett and Ryan Madson joining Ernesto Frieri.

Why not bet the Angels: Hamilton is not the hitter he used to be as his strikeout rate increased in 2012 and he might now underachieve after getting a big contract, just like Albert Pujols did last year. Jason Vargas and Joe Blanton are questionable at the back end of the rotation. Vargas was terrible on the road and enjoyed the spacious Safeco Field. Frieri can’t be as good as he was last season, giving up his first run after 26.1 innings of scoreless appearances.

Season win total pick: Over 91.5

Oakland Athletics (2012: 94-68 - +38.54 units, 70-86-6 over/under)

Division odds: +650
Season win total: 84.5

Why bet the Athletics: The rotation is young and full of firepower, especially if Brett Anderson returns to what he used to be. Anderson has dominated runners in scoring position, holding batters to a .195 BA over the last three seasons. Tommy Milone, Jarrod Parker, and A.J. Griffin all took care of business last year. The bullpen is solid with Grant Balfour and Ryan Cook holding down the back end. If either fails, Sean Doolittle is an able replacement. Yoenis Cespedes is also an underrated player.

Why not bet the Athletics: The offensive lineup is still suspect. Josh Reddick hit 32 home runs last year, but he also struck out 151 times. Chris Young is a nice addition, but he hit only .231 BA with Arizona last season. A.J. Griffin had a 7.27 ERA in his last four starts, showing the rookie slowed down as the campaign wore on. This team got 54 wins from rookie pitchers last year. Opponents will now be better prepared and more familiar when facing those sophomore hurlers this season.

Season win total pick: Under 84.5

Seattle Mariners (2012: 75-87 - +4.29 units, 69-84-9 over/under)

Division odds: +1,600
Season win total: 77.5

Why bet the Mariners: Felix Hernandez remains a dominant pitcher with 223 strikeouts in 232 innings last year. He has now struck out at least 217-plus batters in each of the past four seasons. Hisashi Iwakuma was 8-4 in his 15 second-half starts for Seattle and is a decent No. 2 in the rotation. The batting lineup now has more pop with the additions of Michael Morse and Kendrys Morales. Dustin Ackley will be healthier as he dealt with bone spurs last season. There is also potential help in the future with Taijuan Walker and Danny Hultzen.

Why not bet the Mariners: The rest of the pitching rotation is suspect with Erasmo Ramirez, Blake Beaven, and Hector Noesi. The rest of the hitting lineup is mediocre as well, with John Jaso and Raul Ibanez being counted on for production. Franklin Gutierrez is injury prone and had only 163 at-bats last season. Jesus Montero hit only .228 BA off right-handed pitching.

Season win total pick: Under 77.5

Texas Rangers (2012: 93-69 - -4.39 units, 72-83-7 over/under)

Division odds: +200
Season win total: 86.5

Why bet the Rangers: The lineup is still strong despite the loss of Josh Hamilton. Lance Berkman can duplicate some of Hamilton's production if healthy. A.J. Pierzynski is an upgrade at the catcher position. The pitching rotation returns nearly intact with Martin Perez replacing Colby Lewis until he gets back from his injury. When Joakim Soria is healthy enough to return, which should be around June, he'll make that bullpen even stronger.

Why not bet the Rangers: Berkman's health is always a question mark. Rumors have linked Nelson Cruz to performance-enhancing drugs, so we'll see if his performance suffers this year. Michael Young is gone and he was a stabilizing force. Derek Holland allowed 32 home runs last year. Middle relievers are a question mark which could make getting to Joe Nathan and Joakim Soria a problem.

Season win total pick: Over 86.5

Armadillo's Write-Up

Wednesday, March 20

Play-in games (Dayton, Wed)
James Madison's leading scorer Goins is suspended for first half after he was arrested over weekend; Dukes finished 4th in #20 league, are 9-7 in non-league games. LIU won five in row, 15 of last 18 games after 6-game losing skid early in January; Blackbirds beat Hofstra by 4 in only game vs CAA foe- they finished T2 in #24 league, make 38.5% behind the arc (#16 in country). Seven of last eight JMU games were decided by 5 or less points. NEC squads are 2-0 in play-in games, winning by 22-9 in a pair of games vs MEAC teams- they haven't won any other tournament games in last 28 years.

Boise State won at Creighton, lost by 4 at Michigan State, they went 9-8 in MWC, 14-2 outside it; Broncos make 38.7% of 3's (#15 in country), but they're a young team (one senior in rotation) and depend on Marks to be explosive scorer (5-6-38-4-27-14 points last six games). LaSalle is also guard-oriented, making 37.1% behind arc. Unsure if 6-11 Zack will play here (missed last three games); Explorers are 3-2 vs top 60 teams, beating Villanova/VCU/Butler, losing to Miami/Saint Louis. MWC was #3 league this year, A-16 #8. Boise State is 4-7 vs top 60 teams. You'd think this would be a high scoring teams, with teams that can shoot.

Other tournaments
There is nothing as futile as trying to handicap these consolation events that run opposite the NCAAs, especially in the first round, because the most important issue is this: Who still wants to be playing? I have no idea who still wants to play; once they play a game or two, then maybe we can come up with something, but for this week, I'd stay away. That said, some very brief notes on these games........

-- Indiana State lost six of its last eight games; its last three wins were all by a point. Iowa split pair of neutral court tilts with MVC teams, with 75-63 loss to Wichita State, 80-73 win over Northern Iowa.
-- Charlotte is 6-9 in last 15 games after starting season 15-2; they make 26.7% behind arc, 4th-worst in country. Providence lost last two games, scoring 59-44 points; they split pair vs A-16 teams this year.
-- UMass is 10-3 outside A-16; they're 5-2 in last seven games, got beat by VCU in A-16 tourney. Stony Brook is 0-2 vs top 100 teams, losing by 11 at UConn, 7 at Maryland, both before Christmas.

-- Richmond lost three of last four games; they make 38% from arc, #27 in US. Bryant's bench plays 2nd-least minutes in America; they're 6th-shortest- this is just their 5th year in D-I, so they're happy to be here.

NCAA Play-in Games: JMU vs. LIU Brooklyn, La Salle vs. BSU
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James Madison Dukes vs. LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds (-1.5, 144.5)

LIU Brooklyn is no stranger to the rigors of March as it begins its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. While the Blackbirds have been turned away the previous two times by a pair of the nation’s elite programs, they should have a better opportunity to nail down their first NCAA tournament victory in school history Wednesday in a first-round matchup against James Madison in Dayton, Ohio. In its first two tournament appearances, LIU Brooklyn has exited quickly thanks to second-round games against North Carolina in 2011 and Michigan State in 2012.

The Blackbirds, who clinched an automatic berth by virtue of their victory over Mount Saint Mary’s in the Northeast Conference tournament title game, enter this round of 68 with the No. 5 scoring offense in the country at 79.5 points and tied for eighth in shooting (48.3 percent). The Dukes are on a four-game winning streak after capturing their second Colonial Athletic Association tournament championship. James Madison is seeking its first tournament win since bowing out in the second round three straight years from 1981-83.

TV: 6:40 p.m. ET, truTV

ABOUT JAMES MADISON (20-14, 21-10-0 ATS): The Dukes are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1994 and fifth time in school history. James Madison received the bulk of its offense from A.J. Davis and Devon Moore – the team’s second- and third-leading scorers – during the conference tournament as they combined for 105 of the team’s 200 points. Leading scorer Rayshawn Goins enjoyed his best performance in the title game since missing a game Feb. 6 with a foot injury, shooting 6-for-10 with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Over his previous eight games, Goins averaged 9.1 points and 5 rebounds, but converted only 30.1 percent of his field-goal attempts.

ABOUT LIU BROOKLYN (20-13, 4-0-0 ATS): The Blackbirds overcame a number of obstacles to claim their third consecutive NEC crown as four players were suspended for their role in a fight this fall and reigning league player of the year Julian Boyd tore his anterior cruciate ligament in December. "Everything went right the last two years and this year they had to show their true colors," first-year coach Jack Perri said following the team’s 91-70 victory over Mount Saint Mary’s. Northeast Conference Player of the Year Jamal Olasewere is the Blackbirds’ all-time career scoring leader with 1,851 points and ranks fourth in school history with 953 rebounds.

TRENDS:

* Dukes are 4-0 ATS in their last four non-conference games.
* Blackbirds are 5-1 ATS in their last six neutral-site games.
* Dukes are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games overall.
* Under is 15-6-2 in Dukes' last 23 overall.

TIP-INS:

1. Northeast Conference tournament MVP C.J. Garner (16.1 points) averaged 28 during LIU Brooklyn’s three-game run in the conference tournament.

2. Coach Matt Brady has directed James Madison to three 20-win seasons in his five years, two more than the school posted since its last CAA title.

3. Perri became the third first-year coach to guide his team to the NEC tournament title.

La Salle Explorers vs. Boise State Broncos (-1.5, 139)

Guard play has taken on added significance in recent NCAA Tournament play, a trend that Boise State and La Salle have taken to an extreme. Two similar teams will take the court Wednesday when the Broncos and Explorers meet in a first-round game in Dayton, Ohio. Boise State relies heavily on its four-guard lineup and the nation’s 13th-best 3-point shooting team while La Salle can sometimes employ five guards and finished second in the Atlantic-10 averaging 8.1 steals.

The Broncos, who were the first team in the country to post multiple victories over ranked opponents, received an at-large bid following their fifth-place finish in the Mountain West. Boise State won five of six entering its conference tournament, but lost in the quarterfinals to San Diego State after defeating the Aztecs five days earlier. Similarly, La Salle won seven of eight before losing at Saint Louis to close out the regular season and against Butler in the Atlantic-10 tournament quarterfinals.

TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, truTV

ABOUT LA SALLE (21-9, 12-12-2 ATS): The Explorers received their first NCAA Tournament invite since 1992 and regularly start four guards, although five average at least 23.8 minutes. Ramon Galloway, a South Carolina transfer, leads La Salle in scoring, assists and steals. Sam Mills is 17-of-33 beyond the arc over his last nine games and often draws the opponent’s best perimeter player. However, the Explorers could be without 6-11 sophomore center Steve Zack, who is listed as day-to-day with a foot injury. Zack’s potential absence looms large against a Boise State team that lacks any significant size in its frontcourt.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (21-10, 16-11-0 ATS): The Broncos are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2008 and sixth time in program history. Anthony Drmic (17.3 points) and Derrick Marks (16.3) make up one of the top-scoring guard duos in the country. While Drmic is the team’s leading scorer, Marks is the team’s best playmaker and leads the team in assists (3.9) as well as steals (1.8). Boise State is unlikely to be intimidated by the stage after winning at Creighton – behind a career-high 35 points from Marks – and losing by four at Michigan State during its non-conference schedule.

TRENDS:

* Explorers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five neutral-site games.
* Broncos are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 neutral-site games.
* Over is 8-2 in Explorers' last 10 neutral-site games.
* Over is 6-1 in Broncos' last seven neutral-site games.

TIP-INS:

1. Marks leads Boise State with 13 blocked shots.

2. La Salle is 5-1 in games decided by three points or less.

3. The Broncos went 13-4 when they hit at least eight 3-pointers.

NCAA tournament biggest betting mismatches: Round of 64
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The NCAA tournament presents college basketball bettors with some unique matchups they wouldn’t get anywhere else, which makes the Big Dance ripe with mismatches.

Of course, you see more of these in games involving high and low seeds – like a No. 1 versus a No. 16 – but here are four underlying mismatches that may make or break your bets in the second round.

No. 3 Michigan State Spartans vs. No. 14 Valparaiso Crusaders (+10, 127)

Spartans’ home-court edge vs. Crusaders’ Indiana roots

Michigan State wound up in the toughest region in the tournament – the Midwest – but it got the luck of the draw with its first two tournament games scheduled in its home state. The Spartans make the short trip to Detroit to face the Crusaders in the Palace of Auburn Hills Thursday, a homecoming for many of MSU’s players.

Valparaiso is just four hours from Detroit but Michigan basketball fans don’t take kindly to teams from Indiana, whether their names are the Hoosiers or the Crusaders.

"It's going to be a home game for them basically in Michigan," Valpo head coach Bryce Drew told MLive.com.

No. 12 Mississippi Rebels vs. No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers (-6, 28)

Rebels’ up-tempo offense vs. Badgers’ slow-motion sets

Ole Miss ranks 10th in the country in points per game (77.9) and fires up an average of 62 shots an outing – fifth most in the land. Wisconsin, on the other hand, attempted just 47 field goals in its 50-43 loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten title game and averages 65.5 points on the season. Someone’s got to give in this West Regional showdown.

The Rebels come into the tournament with a ton of momentum and a chip on their shoulder after winning the SEC championship but only receiving a No. 12 seed for their efforts. Ole Miss is hoping starting point guard Jarvis Summers can return from a concussion and dictate the flow but books seem to think Wisconsin will control the pace with the total set at 128 points – Mississippi’s second-lowest total all season.

No. 4 Saint Louis Billikens vs. No. 13 New Mexico State Aggies (+9, 122)

Billikens’ undersized F Dwayne Evans vs. Aggies’ 7-footer Sim Bhullar

Saint Louis built a ton of buzz heading into March, winning both the A-10 regular season and tournament titles. That success is in part due to 6-foot-5 forward Dwayne Evans, who has stepped up as the Billikens’ go-to scorer in recent games. Evans was recently called a "below-the-rim workaholic” by local reporters, which may not bode well for the SLU junior versus the Aggies’ towering frontcourt.

New Mexico State will plug 7-foot-5, 355-pound center Sim Bhullar in the middle of the paint in order to disrupt Evans. Bhullar averaged 10.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and swatted more than two blocks per game. Behind him is fellow Toronto native 6-foot-10 forward Renaldo Dixon, who averaged 1.3 blocks in just under 19 minutes a game. The Aggies finished 13th in the nation in swats – 5.5 an outing – and held opponents to 39.8 percent shooting.

No. 5 VCU Rams vs. No. 12 Akron Zips (+7.5, 135.5)

Rams’ pressure defense vs. Zips’ shaky backcourt

VCU leads the nation in steals (11.8 per game) and turnovers forced (19.9 per game). The Rams thrive on their foes' mistakes and turn those into points, a big reason why they shoot 44.9 percent from the field. It’s not too tough when you keep getting fast break layups.

The Zips are a man down heading into the NCAA after starting point guard Alex Abreu was arrested for drug trafficking and suspended before the MAC tournament. Akron had 31 total turnovers in the two games without Abreu and average 13.7 on the year. VCU head coach Shaka Smart was once an assistant for the Zips and knows Akron head coach Keith Dambrot very, very well.
