Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

+$2500-- Seahawks vs Patriots
+$2500-- 49ers vs Patriots

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

13) There is a College Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City that is not affiliated with the Hall of Fame in Springfield. I'm not sure who decides who gets in this Hall of Fame, but they need some help. I like to help.

If you have Norm Stewart, Joe B Hall and Gene Keady in the Hall of Fame, but do not have Jerry Tarkanian, you look stupid, and you lose whatever credibility you might have. Thats my advice, hope it helps.

12) ) Baseball needs a challenge/replay system; too many calls are getting missed, the technology is there, it would take lot of pressure off the umpires, except for balls/strikes. This needs to happen.

11) Oakland pitching coach Curt Young doesn’t get enough credit; he keeps a young staff of starters pasted together and does it quietly. When he was in Boston two years ago, the A’s staff regressed. Not anymore.

10) Tampa Bay scored 6+ runs in 11 of Jeremy Hellickson’s 21 starts; they’re 9-2 in those games, 5-5 in his other starts this season.

9) Bad news for the Seahawks; Percy Harvin needs hip surgery, is out 3-4 months. Also bad news for the Champs store in Las Vegas that had a rack full of dark blue Harvin #11 jerseys.

8) Pirates are now 8-5 in extra inning games, St Louis is 1-5. Not a bad birthday for Clint Hurdle, whose Bucs have the best record in baseball after sweeping a twinbill over the Cardinals Tuesday night.

7) Pistons signed Brandon Jennings to a 3-year, $24M contract.

6) Announced crowd for Met-Marlin game in Miami Monday night was 19,343, which is science fiction/wishful thinking; there were 22,876 at Sun Life Stadium for a Dolphins’ scrimmage Monday.

5) Oregon State suspended two upperclass basketball players, Devon Collier and Eric Moreland; the pair combined to average 23 ppg LY. Moreland grabbed ten boards a game; if this lasts into the season, its bad news for Craig Robinson, whose five years in Corvallis have been less than stellar.

4) Florida Gators' QB Jeff Driskel had an appendectomy Tuesday, 32 days before the season opener. Gators' practices start on Friday.

3) Oregon-Georgetown are playing a hoop game in November on a military base in South Korea. Hoyas played Florida on an aircraft carrier LY but the game was called at halftime because of a wet court.

2) Jake Peavy got traded to Boston in a 3-way deal late Tueaday night. Detroit gets SS Iglesias, White Sox get young OF Garcia. Interesting.

1) If you took a vote of every major league player as to whether to keep or get rid of the DH, how could it possibly win?

Most every team has 12 pitchers-- what pitcher would vote for the DH? All you would need then, is 16 position players to vote against the DH and it would go away quietly, or 16 position more players to vote against than pitchers who voted for it.

If the union was really representing its players, this vote would happen.

NCAAF Games of the Year: Spread could grow when Huskers visit Ann Arbor

NCAAF Week 10: Nebraska Cornhuskers at Michigan Wolverines (-3.5)

Past history: The home team has won and covered in both meetings since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011. The O/U is 1-1.

Early look at the Cornhuskers: The season-win total sits at 9.5, so expectations are high. With QB Taylor Martinez finally a senior, though, it’s a make-or-break year for coach Bo Pelini. If he doesn’t put together a strong season, especially after last year’s Big Ten Championship game debacle against Wisconsin, his seat will be extremely warm.

Early look at the Wolverines: Coach Brady Hoke is dominating recruiting. Now he needs to show it on the field. QB Devin Gardner fits the system much better than Denard Robinson ever did and the talent is raw but certainly present. With a favorable schedule this could be the year the Wolverines surprise people.

Where this line will move: With a season-win total at just 8.5, expectations are not that high for Michigan. Heading into this one, they have six comfortable wins, a home game against Notre Dame that they can win, and a game at underwhelming Michigan State. The Wolverines will have a strong record and will recapture the public expectations. This line will climb.

NFL preseason betting: Teams with the most QB depth

Handicapping preseason NFL action is a lot like picking winners on the baseball diamond. So much of your wager is riding on one position. In MLB, it’s the starting pitcher. In the NFL preseason, it’s the quarterback – or should we say quarterbacks.

Finding teams with starting experience on the depth chart is key to cashing in during the preseason. Starting QBs may only see a handful of tosses through the first two tune-up games, leaving passing duties to the second, third and sometimes fourth-string pivot.

Here are four teams who hold their preseason betting value long after the No. 1 QB takes off his helmet:

Philadelphia Eagles

QBs: Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Matt Barkley, Dennis Dixon

New head coach Chip Kelly has been working out his platoon of passers this summer, trying to find which QB best suits his up-tempo offense. Vick and Foles split time as the No. 1 last year and there is a movement lobbying for Barkley to take over the offense. Dixon could actually slide into the No. 3 spot if the Eagles drop Vick or Foles following camp.

Cincinnati Bengals

QBs: Andy Dalton, Josh Johnson, John Skelton, Zac Robinson

Dalton is maturing into one of the AFC’s best passers and has some experience behind him on the depth chart. Johnson has starts under his belt, going back to his days with Tampa Bay, and Skelton started 17 games in three years with Arizona. Robinson is currently out of action due to injury, so the preseason load could be spread amongst the top three QBs on the depth chart.

Seattle Seahawks

QBs: Russell Wilson, Brady Quinn, Tarvaris Jackson

Wilson’s sublime rookie campaign has the Seahawks looking to air it out a little more in 2013. However, Seattle may be without offseason addition WR Percy Harvin for the year and will use the preseason to fill that void in the WR corps. Quinn had 12 starts during this tenure in Cleveland and was the No. 1 for eight games in Kansas City last year. Jackson has 34 career starts, including 14 with Seattle in 2011.

Houston Texans

QBs: Matt Schaub, T.J. Yates, Case Keenum, Stephen McGee

Schaub passed for more than 4,000 yards, starting all 16 games for the Texans last year. Yates picked up starting stripes when Schaub got hurt in 2011, taking first-team snaps in five regular season games and two postseason performances. Keenum hasn’t seen any regular season action but has a stud passing pedigree, breaking records during this college days. McGee was buried on Dallas' depth chart for a few seasons but was actually impressive when he did get time under center.

Three most profitable NFL preseason bets

Wagering on NFL preseason games is the sports bettors’ guilty pleasure. Like eating that pizza with the hot dog stuffed inside the crust, it may feel good at the time but you’re going to pay for it later.

I found myself betting on the NFL preseason during a trip to Las Vegas last August. I cashed in a small wager on the San Diego Chargers over the Green Bay Packers, cheering for Bolts backup QB Jarrett Lee to come through for me in crunch.

And therein lies the problem with betting on preseason games. My wager was weighing on the play of a quarterback who’s bagging groceries as the 2013 preseason approaches.

But, if you’re weak like me and need to get down something after months and months of pigskin-less play, these three teams have made the most preseason profits since 1995.

Seattle Seahawks (41-27 SU, 39-26-3 ATS)

The Seahawks’ 4-0 SU and ATS 2012 preseason was a forerunner for their regular season success, unearthing QB Russell Wilson as the steal of the NFL Draft. Seattle was a favorite in three of those four games and a short 1-point underdog in the other.

This year, the Seahawks have high expectations and are among the Super Bowl favorites. Seattle opens the tune-up schedule in San Diego, where oddsmakers have them set as a pick’em. The Seahawks will be busy auditioning WRs after losing Percy Harvin for what could be the entire season.

New York Jets (41-26 SU, 38-28-1 ATS)

The Jets entered last summer as the best preseason play since 2005, then proceeded to go 0-4 SU and ATS. New York was outscored 88-31 over those four warmup games, exposing a limp-noodle offense that would finish 30th in the NFL during the regular season.

It’s more of the same for Jets fans this offseason. Mark Sanchez is fighting off rookie Geno Smith for the starting gig. Reports out of camp say Smith is out of shape, which erases his athletic edge over the competition. New York kicks off the preseason slate in Detroit as 3.5-point road underdogs.

Denver Broncos (42-26 SU, 38-28-2 ATS)

The Broncos went 2-2 SU and ATS in last year’s preseason, being the most anticipated team due to the acquisition of Peyton Manning. Denver enters Year 2 with No. 18 under center and is working in some new weapons like WR Wes Welker and rookie RB Montee Ball.

The elephant in the room this preseason, however, is the Broncos offensive line. Center Dan Koppen went down with an ACL injury and J.D. Walton is recovering from ankle surgery. On top of that, Denver’s front office suffered some black eyes and star LB Von Miller is waiting on an appeal of a four-game suspension.
