NCAAF Games of the Year: LSU out for revenge hosting Gators

NCAAF Week 7: Florida Gators at LSU Tigers (-4)

Past History: Florida 3-2 SU/ATS Last 5 Years

Early Look at Florida: A great second season in Gainesville was somewhat marred by an ugly loss to Louisville in the Sugar Bowl (as two-touchdown favorites). Their only regular season loss came to Georgia, a game that saw the Gators turn the ball over six times. With only 10 returning starters on both sides of the ball and a suspect offense, UF ranks behind both Georgia and South Carolina in the SEC East pecking order coming into the year. A brutal schedule featuring only three league home games and LSU, South Carolina and Georgia all away is also cause for concern.

Early Look at LSU: No team in the country lost more talent to the NFL than the Bayou Bengals, who saw 10 players from last year’s squad declare early. Les Miles has only 12 returning starters in Baton Rouge and, as a result, they too are being pegged for third place in their division (behind Alabama and Texas A&M). There is a good chance the Tigers will be ranked outside the Top 11 for only the third time in 11 years at the start of the season. Despite losing only three games in 2012, last season was considered disappointing for the program.

Where This Line Will Move: LSU is at home and playing with revenge, so the natural lean for the public will be in their direction. Barring anything unforeseen, this should be the 10th straight meeting where both teams are ranked in the Top 25.

CFL Thursday football: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes (-7, 52)

Dan Hawkins began his tenure as coach of the Montreal Alouettes by defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and spoiling the debut of their new stadium. The Blue Bombers (0-1) will be out for revenge when they visit Montreal (1-0) on Thursday. Hawkins relied heavily on quarterback Anthony Calvillo and receiver S.J. Green in his first CFL regular-season game, but the Blue Bombers got to Calvillo on numerous occasions and the veteran pivot finished the game with tape on his throwing hand.

Winnipeg held a nine-point lead heading into the fourth quarter last week but was unable to produce offense in the final 15 minutes en route to a 38-33 setback. Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce threw an interception on his final play of the game but can build on his 258-yard performance as Winnipeg looks for a rare road victory. The Blue Bombers' defense averaged 29.5 points against per game last year.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (0-1): James Green has rejoined the team with fellow linebacker Rene Stephan out for a month with a hamstring injury. Green spent three campaigns with the Blue Bombers but was released after last season and spent the previous week helping the effort in his hometown of Calgary following devastating floods in the area. Defensive end Zach Anderson was promoted to the main roster and former Winnipeg defensive lineman Marquis Frazier was added to the practice roster with JT Gilmore suffering from a calf injury.

ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (1-0): Rookie Tyron Carrier recorded Montreal’s first punt return for a touchdown in three years in the season opener. Carrier, who finished with 103 yards on six returns, gives the Alouettes a special teams threat they have lacked in recent seasons. Green finished with 119 yards, although no other Montreal receiver accounted for more than 37. The latter number could be a concern, considering how pass-heavy the Alouettes have been in recent seasons.

TRENDS:

* Blue Bombers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games.
* Alouettes are 5-0 ATS in their last five games in Week 2.
* Under is 5-2 in Blue Bombers last seven vs. East.
* Blue Bombers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Montreal was 7-2 at home last year while Winnipeg finished 2-7 on the road.

2. Pierce threw three interceptions in Week 1, including two in the first half that resulted in 10 points for the Alouettes.

3. These East Division foes will not face each other again until Oct. 14 in Montreal.

Toronto Argonauts at B.C. Lions (-6, 52.5)

The BC Lions opened this season like they finished the last one: with a loss to the Calgary Stampeders. The Lions (0-1) will attempt to put that season-opening setback behind them when they host the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts (1-0) on Thursday. Lions quarterback Travis Lulay finished Week 1 with three touchdown passes on 283 passing yards and added 55 rushing yards, but BC could not overcome a 25-point first-half deficit en route to a 44-32 loss.

Toronto posted a 39-34 triumph over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to open its season after raising the banner for its Grey Cup victory. Quarterback Ricky Ray’s 368 passing yards and four touchdown tosses paced the Argonauts, who also received 112 rushing yards from Grey Cup Most Outstanding Player Chad Kackert. Toronto’s defense allowed just three points in the second half of Friday’s victory.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (1-0): Chad Owens, who set a professional football record for all-purpose yards last season with 3,863, amassed 235 combined yards in Week 1. Fellow slotback Jason Barnes caught two touchdown passes to go with 85 total yards and wide receiver Spencer Watt scored his fourth career touchdown, giving Toronto depth in its receiving corps. Kicker Swayze Waters is expected to miss at least two weeks with an injury suffered on Friday, leading the Argonauts to re-sign veteran Noel Prefontaine.

ABOUT THE LIONS (0-1): Wide receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux led the team with 103 receiving yards, surpassing the 2,000-yard plateau in his career to start his third CFL season. Arceneaux, who last played for BC in 2010, spent three seasons trying to earn a spot on an NFL team, trying out with Minnesota, Washington and the New York Jets. Arceneaux’s return helped blunt the loss of CFL all-time receiving yards leader Geroy Simon, who was traded in the off-season. K Hugh O’Neill missed an extra point attempt in the first half of Week 1, but converted the next two and made a 40-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

TRENDS:

* Argonauts are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games.
* Lions are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games.
* Over is 5-1 in Argonauts last six games overall.
* Under is 14-4 in the last 18 meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Toronto, which finished 6-4 against West Division last year, was the only East Division team to secure a winning record versus the West.

2. The Lions were 8-1 at home last year en route to a league-best 13-5 regular-season record.

3. Kackert, who recorded 638 rushing yards on 100 attempts last year, has already surpassed his longest career regular-season run with a 57-yard touchdown dash on Friday.

WNBA under bettors winning at more than 59 percent
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you’ve been following the WNBA this summer – and let’s be honest, you haven’t – you’d recognize that more games are finishing under the total than not.

In fact, heading into Tuesday’s four-game slate, 59.32 percent of this season’s WNBA contests have stayed below the number (24-35-2 over/under). That percentage jumps to 64.7 over the last 30 days, with WNBA action posting an 18-33 over/under count in that span.

WNBA teams are scoring slightly less than last summer, with teams averaging 77.36 points per game compared to 77.53, but also the 2013 schedule is much more spread out due to the 2012 Summer Olympics conflicting with last season.

At this time last year, WNBA teams posted a 42-38 over/under record, playing 80 games through the first two months of the schedule, compared to only 61 heading into July this season.

The London Games put the WNBA on a month hiatus (July 14 to August 15) and had schedule makers compressing the first half of the calendar. That busier pace gave teams less time to rest, gameplan and practice, unlike 2013 when most teams have at least two full days off between contests.

Western Conference teams have the biggest lean toward the under this year. Out of six Western squads, just one – the Phoenix Mercury (6-5 over/under) – is over .500 for the over. Outside of Phoenix, the five other West clubs have a combined over/under count of 19-31-1.

The Eastern Conference, however, is home to the three best under plays: Indiana Fever (2-8 O/U), New York Liberty (2-6-1 O/U) and Connecticut Sun (2-6-1 O/U).

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Saints' coach Sean Payton is caddying for Ryan Palmer at the PGA Tour event this week at Greenbrier in West Virginia.

-- Brad Stevens gets $22M, six years from the Celtics. Very surprising.

-- Very bad timing for Butler; recruiting season starts Wednesday.

-- Butler's odds to win the national title dropped from 60-1 to 100-1; odds on the Celtics winning the NBA title stayed at 100-1.

-- I'd love to see the reaction if Butler hired George Karl to replace Stevens.

-- We're lucky to live in a free country and be able to do what we want. Happy 237th Birthday America.

*****

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Happy 237 birthday, America.........

13) Tuition/room and board at Creighton University is $44,000 a year, pretty steep, but college basketball coaches make seven-figure salaries, so when Grant Gibbs was given a 6th year of eligibility by the NCAA, Bluejays’ star Doug McDermott gave up his scholarship and will walk on, so Gibbs can have a scholarship.

McDermott’s dad Greg is Creighton’s coach; his team is already at the scholarship limit (13), so he’ll foot the bill for his son’s tuition so Gibbs can be on scholarship. If the school has any street sense, they’ll slip in a $44,000 raise into McDermott’s next contract.

12) CFL write-ups started this week on this website; check out the NHL page every week for info on each and every CFL game.

11) Only in the CFL is there a rematch in Week 2; Montreal Alouettes won in Winnipeg last week; the Blue Bombers visit Montreal this week.

Schedule makers must down a serious amount of Labatt’s making out that schedule every year.

10) Blue Jay/Pirate bullpens have worked the most innings in big leagues; they need to fortify their starting rotations, to take the stress off their relievers, or else…….

9) Still not used to hearing “New Orleans Pelicans”; NBA’s Hornets have become the Pelicans, eventually the Bobcats will go back to being the Hornets, but the Wizards aren’t going back to being the Bullets. Go figure.

8) Manu Ginobili re-upped for two more years with the Spurs; an underrated story is the strong foreign presence on San Antonio. Nine of their 15 guys on the playoff roster this spring were born outside the United States.

7) Kids, put down your golf clubs, your basketballs and go take acting lessons. James Gandolfini’s estate is being estimated at $70 million, and he didn’t have to retire when he was 35, like most athletes. Actors can go until they’re 75 or 80, God willing. Its sad Gandolfini passed away so young, but he made a crazy amount of money.

6) People are forgetting the Padres are struggling because their double play combo (Gyorko/Cabrera) is on the DL; what team wouldn’t struggle with the heart of their defense out? San Diego gets those two guys back and adds a player or two, and they can win the NL West.

5) Michelle Obama has complained that the White House “….is like a really nice prison.” Apparently she isn’t the first First Lady to have that complaint, but keep it to yourself.

Being married to the President makes her wealthy for life, complete with Secret Service protection. There are worse things.

4) This is a little unfair to point out since he just pitched a no-hitter and should be celebrated, but Homer Bailey’s 4.36 career ERA is the worst of any pitcher who has thrown 2+ no-hitters. Pitching in that small ballpark in Cincinnati ain’t easy though.

3) Its amusing listen to nitwits say that Brad Stevens going to Boston is a bad decision on his part; even if he is a total flop, he banks $22M for six years, then he'll go back and have his pick of college jobs, much like out west, when Mike Montgomery went from Stanford to the Warriors to Cal. .

Its a no-lose situation for Stevens, a devastating blow to Butler as they head into the new Big East conference, their third league in three years.

2) Former Syracuse assistant coach Bernie Fine has dropped his lawsuit against ESPN; you have to think they settled out of court, but no one is saying. ESPN helped ruin the guy’s career for no good reason; least they could do is pay him off.

1) While I don’t think Yasiel Puig should be in the All-Star Game, if he keeps up his fine play and the Dodgers make the playoffs, I wouldn’t be against voting for him for MVP. He’s setting an incredible pace of production, but he bruised his hip running into the fence Wednesday night in Denver-- he'll have to tone done his wreckless style a little to stay healthy.
