    Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

    Odds to win the 2013 Grey Cup (Canadian Football League)

    7-2-- British Columbia Lions

    4-1-- Calgary Stampeders

    9-2-- Montreal Alouettes

    11-2-- Toronto Argonauts

    13-2-- Saskatchewan Roughriders

    7-1-- Hamilton Tiger-Cats

    9-1-- Edmonton Eskimos

    10-1-- Winnipeg Blue Bombers

    Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind............

    13) Spurs’ sub Boris Diaw has made $50,163,421 in ten NBA seasons; Boris freakin’ Diaw?!?!?!? Is this a great country or what?

    12) Mets’ pitcher Matt Harvey is 3-2, 2.86 in nine daytime starts, which is pretty good, but he is 3-0, 1.30 in six night starts. Only one of his last eight starts was at night.

    11) Diamondbacks scored three or less runs in 11 of Trevor Cahill’s 15 starts; no wonder all my hair is falling out (ha-- its already gone!!!).

    10) Baltimore is 7-0 on the road when Chris Tillman is starting pitcher.

    9) I’ve never seen an episode of the Sopranos, but reading the tributes to James Gandolfini on Twitter was very touching. He did commercials for Rutgers football, being an alum; its cool that so many people have nice things to say about him. May he RIP.

    8) In 1981, I saw the former Giants punter Dave Jennings play in the St Lawrence University alumni basketball game; is he the only former punter to become a prominent game analyst? Like Mr Gandolfini, Jennings passed away too young this week. RIP, sir.

    7) Not the best week for news; someone stole a car from Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops’ house in the middle of the night? Pretty soon Stoops will be doing a commercial for some home security system, which means he got it for free.

    6) NFL’s Jaguars have a mascot named Jaxson de Ville; he is yellow, wears sunglasses and he tweets. So there’s that.

    5) Good news; TV analyst Jerry Remy will be back in the NESN booth Tuesday night at Fenway; he has been battling pneumonia since May 28. Remy and play-by-play guy Don Orsillo make an excellent team.

    4) Last time NBA/NHL Finals games went OT on consecutive nights was back in 1974, with both games happening at Boston Garden.

    3) Chris Bosh/Ray Allen combined to score zero points in 48 minutes and Miami still won Thursday; Shane Battier was 6-8 behind the arc, and he was the difference-maker.

    2) Miami has now won consecutive titles, so credit to them, but how their team was assembled is bad for the NBA; if more cliques of stars decide they want to choose up their own sides and try to win a title, then what chance do the smaller cities ever have of winning?

    Its not like Chris Paul/Dwight Howard/random third star would ever agree to play together for the Timberwolves or Raptors.....

    1) NFL should definitely move its draft around the country, the way the NHL does. Very good idea.

      NFL Games of the Year: Packers getting points in Week 11

      Odds are out for the biggest and best games of the upcoming NFL season. Covers Expert Matt Fargo gives you his insight into some of these marquee matchups and predicts where the odds could move before kickoff.

      NFL Week 11:
      Green Bay Packers at New York Giants (-1.5)

      Past History:
      New York 3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS, 4-1 O/U since 2008

      Early look at the Packers:
      Green Bay started slow but finished strong to win its second straight NFC North title last year. The Packers are sizable favorites to repeat as division champions but even after winning 11 games, their preseason win total is set at 10 (-120). That may be considered a lack of respect for some but one look at the brutal schedule will tell the story why.

      Early look at the Giants:
      After winning the Super Bowl two years ago, expectations were high for the Giants going into last season. And after a 6-2 start, things were looking good until a 3-5 finish left them home for the playoffs. They are slight favorites to win the NFC East but it will once again be a wide-open division. Still, we should see an improvement from their 9-7 record from lat year, albeit not a huge one.

      Where this line will move:
      This game takes place late in the season, so the line could go either way based on the records of each team coming in. This is a Sunday night game, though, and the home team usually gets the betting love.

        Prop betting value behind Peterson to win NFL rushing title

        Believe it or not, Adrian Peterson was a +1,200 long shot to win the NFL’s rushing title in 2012. The Minnesota Vikings RB was coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his knee and was a question mark heading into Week 1.

        Peterson proved there was plenty of tread on the tires, rushing for 2,097 yards – coming nine yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record – and earned MVP honors, which is why oddsmakers have “All Day” tabbed as a +350 favorite to lead the league in rushing again in 2013.

        But with such one-sided odds in favor of Peterson, value opens up behind him on the NFL prop board. Here are three running backs providing solid betting value to lead the league in rushing this season.

        C.J. Spiller, Buffalo Bills (+2,000)

        Spiller had only 207 carries in 2012 –22nd in the NFL – but finished eighth in total rushing yards. He split the load with Fred Jackson and had to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick bring drives to a screeching halt with a passing attack ranked 29th in the league. With the Bills settling between Kevin Kolb and rookie E.J. Manuel at QB, Spiller should finally be utilized as Buffalo’s No. 1 – and perhaps only – option on offense.

        Alfred Morris, Washington Redskins (+1,000)

        Morris had one hell of a rookie season, exploding on to the scene to finish second behind Peterson in rushing yards (1,613). He had just four games in which he failed to crack the 80-yard plateau, with Washington going 2-3 SU and ATS in those outings. They were 6-1 ATS when he topped the century mark on the ground. With Robert Griffin III taking it easy on his wonky knee, Morris could see even more touches in the backfield.

        Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans (+1,200)

        The man known as “CJ2K” has been a far cry from his 2,000-yard ‘10 campaign. Last year, Johnson limped out to just 45 yards in his first three games but still managed to finish with 1,243 yards on the season. If you drop Week 1-3, he rushed for an average of over 92 yards per game, which would be good enough for fifth last season. Word out of Titans camp is that Johnson is looking good and the addition of some new run-blockers on the line will help pave the road for another big year.

        Here is the full list of prop odds for the NFL rushing leader in 2013 (Courtesy of 5Dimes.eu):

        Adrian Peterson +350
        Marshawn Lynch +650
        Arian Foster +800
        Alfred Morris +1000
        Doug Martin +1000
        Trent Richardson +1000
        Chris Johnson +1200
        Jamaal Charles +1200
        Steven Jackson +1200
        DeMarco Murray +1500
        Lamar Miller +1500
        Maurice Jones-Drew +1500
        Matt Forte +1500
        LeSean McCoy +1800
        Ray Rice +1800
        C.J. Spiller +2000
        Darren McFadden +2000
        Eddie Lacy +2000
        Frank Gore +2000
        David Wilson +2200

                  American League West boasts best over and under bets
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  The American League West has been a tough division for MLB totals bettors to wrangle this year.

                  It boasts the top two over plays in the majors, with the Los Angeles Angels (42-30-1 over/under) and Oakland Athletics (40-34-1 over/under) consistently topping totals, and is also home to the best under bet in the bigs, the Texas Rangers, who have been kind to under bettors with a 26-43-4 over/under mark.

                  How about when these over teams collide with the low-scoring Rangers?

                  Los Angeles and Texas have played each other six times this season, combing for an over/under mark of 5-1. The A’s and Rangers, who are currently wrapping a four-game set in Arlington, have produced a break-even 4-4-1 over/under count in their first nine head-to-head contests this season.

                  In fact, Texas is leaning more to the over against divisional foes, posting a 15-14-3 over/under record against AL West opponents. Oakland is 22-12-1 over/under versus clubs for the AL West and L.A. is 20-12 over/under during divisional play.

                  Stats as of June 21, 2013.

                    Bettors cashing in huge on Blue Jays' winning streak
                    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    The Toronto Blue Jays have been the most profitable bet in the bigs over the past eight games.

                    Any $100 bettor would be up $920.07 if they wagered on each game of Toronto’s current eight-game winning streak. The Blue Birds have outscored the opposition 46-14 during the run.

                    The Blue Jays were underdogs five times during the streak, including +216 pups against Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers on June 13.

                    Toronto (35-36) is now just one game shy of the .500 mark and five games out of the final AL wild-card spot heading into play Thursday night.

                    The Blue Jays are -134 favorites in the opener of a three-game set with the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Toronto will send reigning NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey (6-8, 4.90) to the hill and the Orioles will counter with Jason Hammel (7-4, 5.24).

                    The Blue Jays opened the 2013 campaign with 12-1 odds to win the World Series, but fell all the way to 100-1 at the LVH SuperBook on Monday. Online sportsbook Bet365 has boosted Toronto’s futures all the way to +1400 as of Thursday.
