Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Odds for the US Open in June in Ardmore, PA.........

11-2-- Eldrick Woods-- Was gifted with $352,000 after fiasco last week.

12-1-- Rory McIlroy-- Was taking Nike's money a good idea?

22-1-- Lee Westwood-- Has never won a major, will he?

25-1-- Brandt Snedeker-- Contended for while at Augusta.

25-1-- Phil Mickelson-- Hasn't won much in the northeast.

25-1-- Justin Rose-- Had a nine on the par-4 12th hole Sunday.


*****

Armadillo:Wednesday's List of 13: Some of our favorite events of the year........

There are certain things we look forward to each year which give our year a rhythm, a pace we’re used to. Here are some of my favorite sports-related events each year………
13) Australian Open on TV, January—When you’re up late at night writing about and handicapping basketball, always good to have some live TV on to keep you company. This is probably the only tennis tournament I’ll watch all year, but it is good stuff.

12) NFL schedule getting released—the old Viking coach Bud Grant always said, “Its not who you play, its when you play them.” Seeing the regular season, who gets what primetime games, the difficult schedule spots the league puts the better teams in, its always an interesting night when the schedule comes out.

Its also fun when the Las Vegas sportsbooks put lines out for every game from Weeks 1-16, so people can speculate in the spring/summer what will be happening in the fall. Not as easy as it sounds.

11) When our keeper league fantasy baseball draft starts, whenever they drop the green flag at the Daytona 500 (unrelated events, just a milestone that winter is almost over).

The original 18-team, 24-player per team draft took 82 days to complete eight years ago; the shorter drafts now last a week or so.

10) You can make a solid argument now that Thanksgiving weekend is the best sports weekend of the year: late season NFL games, rivalry games in college football, some of the better pre-conference college basketball games, plus coconut custard pie and cranberry sauce. Whats not to like?

9) British Open—My favorite golf tournament because I’m out in Las Vegas that weekend and the TV coverage comes on at like 4am out there and it totally ruins whatever sleep patterns have existed until that part of the trip. By time tournament ends, I’m clueless as to what time it is, what day it is, but I know vacation is almost over.

8) NBA Summer League—Same July trip in Vegas is the showcase league for both NBA teams and all the overseas leagues that sign American players. Usually spend 2-3 full days watching games.

Underrated and surprisingly inexpensive fun.

7) Daily routine of baseball—From 7pm-1am Monday-Saturday from April until Labor Day, you’ll probably find me in front of the TV/laptop following baseball; in September football joins in too.

Something about the daily routine of it that makes it special, gives life a timeline to follow every day.

6) College football Saturdays—From noon til 2am every Saturday from Labor Day until early December, listen to bands and watch lot of football. Vegas casinos are great during college football; people coming from all over to back their favorite teams. I’ve been to games at Penn State, Tennessee, South Carolina; the tailgating experience is really something, and by that I mean its way better in warmer weather!!!!

5) Stanley Cup playoffs—Any overtime game in hockey is tremendous drama; this sport is best suited for the best-of-7 format, unlike the NBA, which would be better off with a best-of-3 format. Hockey playoffs are great fun, especially if you’ve ever hung out in a sportsbook with women from Vancouver watching the Canucks play.

4) Minor league baseball is underrated fun, whether over the river here in Troy (Astros’ Class A team) or Las Vegas (Mets’ AAA team). Inexpensive tickets, hot dogs; what could be better?

3) College basketball Championship Week—Wall-to-wall game for 3-4 days, all with tremendous meaning. In some ways, Championship Week is more fun than the NCAA tournament; certainly has lot more action.

2) NFL Sundays—When the Rams are good, NFL Sundays are the pinnacle of any week for me, but even in lean years, they’re great fun. Only reason I have DirecTV is so I can have the NFL Sunday Ticket in my house, that’s how much fun it is.

1) First weekend of NCAA tournament— the best four days of the sports year, simple as that.

NFL releases schedule Thursday, LVH to post Week 1 odds Friday

The NFL will release it's 2013 regular season schedule Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network.

To coincide with this, the Las Vegas Hotel SuperBook announced that it will be releasing Week 1 lines on Friday.

Each team knows its home and road opponents, but the order of the games and which contests will be under the primetime lights are yet to be announced.

For the first time since 2004, the defending Super Bowl champion will not host the Kickoff game. The Ravens will be forced to play the Thursday night opener on the road due to a scheduling conflict with MLB's Orioles, who are hosting the White Sox that night and an agreement not getting worked out between the two teams. The defending Super Bowl champion is 8-1 SU (straight up) in the past nine Kickoff games, with only the 2012 New York Giants losing.

Here's a look at other notable non-division games in 2013:

Denver Broncos at New England Patriots - Manning Brady XV
New England Patriots at Baltimore Ravens - rematch of the last two AFC Championship Games
Pittsburgh Steelers at Green Bay Packers - first meeting since Super Bowl XLV
Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens - Ed Reed returns to Baltimore
Denver Broncos at New York Giants - Manning Manning III
Atlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers - rematch of last year's NFC Championship Game
Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts - Peyton Manning returns to Indianapolis
