*****

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Stuff I learned from reading Sports Illustrated...

Stuff I learned or was reminded of by reading the Sports Illustrated college football preview issue:

13) Nine Alabama players were drafted last spring; add up the contracts they signed and those contracts are worth $51.8M, a figure that you can bet is tossed around a lot when Tide coaches go recruiting.

12) John Elway might be the best QB I’ve ever seen but he never played in a college bowl game. Stanford would’ve made a bowl Elway’s senior year, but the Stanford band’s debacle in their loss to Cal ended those hopes and Elway’s career.

11) Over the last five years, Big X games have averaged 73 plays per team per game, the most action in the country; Conference USA ranks next, at 70.8. SEC teams average only 66.2 plays per game, least in the country, but they’ve won the last seven national titles, so there’s that.

10) Think about Louisiana Tech’s team last year: They went 9-3, averaged 87.7 plays per game and 6.58 yards/play, yet they didn’t go bowling in a year where I think 68 of the 125 D-I teams went bowling. How is this possible? And you wonder why their coach bolted for Cal? If Cal goes 6-6 they’re in a freakin’ bowl. Amazing.

9) Shortstop Adam Rosales started this year with the A’s, but was recently cut three times in 11 days, twice by Oakland, once by the Rangers, who then picked him up again when the A’s dropped him the second time. Rosales is versatile and sound on defense but he’s not a great hitter.

8) Former NHL star Doug Gilmour is now the GM of Kingston Frontenacs’ junior team in the OHL; he recently traded a 16-year old named Jake to the Niagara team. Jake’s last name is Gilmour, he is Doug’s son. How do you tell your wife you just traded her kid to Niagara?

7) Want to win a bar bet? Marshall QB Rakeem Cato led D-I football in passing yards per game (350.1) last year.

6) Golfer Jason Dufner has an Economics degree from Auburn, so he’s no dummy; his favorite meal is fried mozzarella, with a dozen chicken wings and three Cokes. He's also older (36) than he looks.

5) You hear players talk a lot about “all I care about is winning….” Then there is NBA player Kevin Martin, whose actions speak very loudly: he bolted Oklahoma City, a strong contender for the NBA title, to go play with Minnesota, a perennial doormat. Give me more playing time, more shots and more money and I’ll be just fine. Who cares if we go 30-52?

4) Minnesota Twins’ Class A farm team is the Fort Myers Miracle, managed by former big league 1B Doug Mientkiewicz; when he was in high school, Mientkiewicz was a high school QB on a team where one of the receivers was Alex Rodriguez. Yes, him.

3) An 8-year old named Allen Kournikova recently won the US Kids’ golf tournament, held at Pinehurst; have no idea why 8-year olds play in national-level golf tournaments, but young Allen has a very attractive older sister, tennis pro Anna Kournikova.

2) If I was a major league baseball manager, I’d use one winter to become fluent in Spanish, as a sign of respect to your Latin players. Think about it: it has to be really hard to come to a country where you barely know the language. Having a manager who speaks your language would go a long way towards making the player feel more at ease, so he can play better. Right?

1) Former Kentucky coach Hal Mumme is an assistant football at SMU this year; teaming with June Jones is going to make the Mustangs’ offense a lot of fun to watch. Mumme made QB Tim Couch a 1st-round pick in the NFL; it’ll be interesting to see what changes SMU makes this year, as they compete in the first season of the new AAC.

NFL preseason primer: Sunday game betting breakdown

Here's a quick look at what to expect in Sunday's two NFL preseason tilts.

New Orleans at Houston (-2.5, 43.5)

Both teams here a 2-0 SU/ATS. The Saints have played both of their games so far at home and only managed to squeak by both the Chiefs and Raiders, two teams that combined for only six wins last season. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Drew Brees and the first team offense looked great last week, racing out to a 23-0 lead vs. Oakland. Brees completed 14 of 18 passes for over 200 yards and wound up leading five different scoring drives. He had some praise for the play of his wide receivers. Only some sloppy second half play from the Saints resulted in the game being close. The defense had seven sacks.

We still have not seen Arian Foster yet this preseason for the Texans. He was taken off the PUP list Wednesday and practiced with the team for the first time. However, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, the team’s 1st round draft choice back in April, left last week’s game with a concussion. He will not play here. He had looked good so far in camp as the team desperately tries to develop a No. 2 WR next to Andre Johnson. On defense Brian Cushing returned last week and played 10 snaps. These teams have met in the preseason each of the last two seasons with the home team winning and covering each time. Last year’s game in New Orleans was also the “Dress Rehearsal” game.

Minnesota at San Francisco (-3, 39)

Neither of these playoff teams from last year has looked very good so far, especially the 0-2 Vikings, who lost last week in Buffalo 20-16. The game wasn’t even really that close as Minnesota scored 13 points in the fourth quarter. In the first half, the offense gained only 74 yards total offense and four first downs. Quarterback play remains a concern with Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel not exactly setting the world on fire. Ponder played five series last week and completed only 5 of 12 passes for 53 yards.

San Francisco has also struggled offensively, only scoring 21 total points in two games. After four turnovers cost them in the opener against Denver, they did bounce back to defeat Kansas City 15-13 last week on the road. QB Colin Kaepernick has seen very little time thus far. The defense has been impressive however. Last week alone, they registered seven sacks, eight hurries and nine tackles for loss. Newly-signed kicker Phil Dawson has been impressive so far, connecting on five of six attempts, including a pair of 55-yarders against Kansas City.

AFC West Preview: Will Denver justify highest win total?

The AFC West finds the Denver Broncos with the highest season win-total, 11.5, in the NFL this season. The question begs whether coaching changes in Kansas City and San Diego will thwart Peyton Manning’s return to the postseason.

AFC West Division

DENVER BRONCOS

Team Theme: PEYTON’S RACE

Realizing star QB Peyton Manning is not getter any younger (who is?), the Broncos were busy in the offseason making moves to bolster a run to the Super Bowl now. WR Wes Welker moves over from New England while G Louis Vasquez leaves San Diego’s starting lineup for Denver’s. In addition, VP of Football Operations John Elway slapped the franchise tag on OT Ryan Clady. Meanwhile, former Broncos QB coach Adam Gase assumes the new offensive coordinator role with Mike McCoy taking over the reins in San Diego. Jack Del Rio returns as the defensive coordinator, the first time Denver has had the same DC in consecutive seasons since 2005-06. The selection of Wisconsin’s Montee Ball in the 2nd round of the draft could be a coup as the workhorse running back also blocks and has excellent hands, prerequisites for working in a Manning backfield. It all works provided Denver’s offensive line stays healthy. So does the schedule with the Broncos facing, by far, the softest strength-of-schedule opponents in 2013 (last year’s foes .430 overall). It’s Super Bowl or bust for the Broncos.

Stat You Will Like: Peyton Manning’s 37 TD passes and his 105.8 QB rating at the end of the season were the 2nd best numbers of his career.

PLAY ON: as a dog at New England (11/24)

IN THE STATS: The SU stat winner was 15-2 SU in Broncos games last season.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Team Theme: ON THE CORNER OF 12TH ST AND VINE

Much like the 2-win Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chiefs are resigned to the fact that there is no place to go but up in 2013. After turning over half the roster, the pieces are in place with Andy Reid, the lone new coach in the league this year with previous NFL head coaching experience. His team sports a downy-soft non-division strength-of-schedule in 2013, with Chiefs’ opponents going 74-90 (.451) last season. In addition, Reid is 140-102-1 overall in his NFL career with five NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl appearance. An upgrade at the quarterback position (Alex Smith in; Matt Cassel out, and pistol-guru Chris Ault on board as a consultant), along with the top pick in this year’s draft (OL Eric Fisher) and offensive weapons Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe indicate certain signs of improvement on that side of the ball. The defense was bolstered by the free agent signings of CBs Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson, plus DE Mike DeVito. Along with talented pass rusher Tamba Hali, LB Derrick Johnson and DB Eric Berry, Andy is feeling just dandy about his move from Philadelphia to Kansas City. Look out Kansas City, here he comes.

Stat You Will Like: The Chiefs had six Pro Bowlers last season.

PLAY ON: at Buffalo (11/3)

IN THE STATS: After going 5-0 ‘ITS’ to start 2012, the Chiefs went 2-9 ‘ITS’ the final 11 games.

OAKLAND RAIDERS

Team Theme: BUY A PROGRAM

In a season of makeovers, the Raiders are laying down a new foundation. QB Carson Palmer and his favorite target, TE Brandon Myers, are gone along with WR Darrius Heyward-Bey. On the defensive front, DT Tommy Kelly and S Michael Huff have departed. In fact, only ONE player from the front seven returns. (That’s what happens after tying a franchise low with 25 sacks last season.) It’s likely nine of 11 positions on defense will find players with new names on the back of their jerseys. Meanwhile, free agent QB Matt Flynn replaces Palmer but it should be noted Flynn, after inking a big free agent contract last year, failed to beat out 3rd-round QB Russell Wilson at Seattle. However, don’t be surprised if Flynn isn’t pushed for the starting job by Tyler Wilson (Arkansas) who highly respected QB coach-guru Terry Shea insists, “makes all the throws and will be a good player in this league for a long while.” And if all this isn’t enough, the Raiders signed free agent WR-KR Joshua Cribbs, a three-time Pro Bowler. Finally, in an effort to avoid blackouts, Oakland removed 9,882 seats from the O.co Coliseum, reducing the seating capacity to 53,250 (the lowest in the league).

Stat You Will Like: The Raiders are 15-3 ATS as division road dogs the last six seasons.

PLAY AGAINST: vs. Pittsburgh (10/27)

IN THE STATS: The Raiders have allowed over 400 yards in 10 of 16 home games the L2Y.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

Team Theme: JUST IMAGINE

When new head coach Mike McCoy, Denver’s former offensive coordinator, interviewed for the San Diego job, he brought along binders full of detailed plans and visualization and won over the Chargers’ top brass. It wasn’t hard, considering San Diego has missed out on the playoffs each of the last three years. Make no mistake: this is as close to a major overhaul as the Chargers have seen in quite a while. Included was a plan to build a fortress around Philip Rivers to better protect the franchise quarterback. Rivers was sacked 49 times last season, trailing only Aaron Rodgers (51) for most takedowns. The Chargers immediately signed two free agent guards and used their first pick in the draft on OT D.J. Fluker of Alabama. Just as important, they named former Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt as the new offensive coordinator to call the plays, a marked difference from former coach Norv Turner who handled both duties. Whisenhunt has coached QBs Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner and figures to revive Rivers’ career. Newest additions to the Chargers defense, which improved 20 YPG in 2012, are Pro Bowl DE Dwight Freeney and Notre Dame LB Manti Te’o, who fills a need at ILB. We can only imagine he will.

Stat You Will Like: The Chargers were 6-13 SU and 7-12 ATS in Eastern Time Zone cities with Norv Turner.

PLAY AGAINST: at Oakland (10/6)

IN THE STATS: The Chargers were outgained in each of their last seven games in 2012

Top 3: Sunday pitchers facing former division foes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting pitchers never forget a former division rival - even after moving on to another team. Some have gone on to fare well against their one-time foes, while others have struggled.

Here are three Sunday pitchers who have had varying degrees of success against their ex-nemeses:

Scott Feldman, Baltimore Orioles (10-9, 3.94 ERA)

Feldman broke into the majors with the Texas Rangers - making him all-too-familiar with Sunday's opponent, the Oakland Athletics. The towering right-hander would probably rather face a different club; he's just 4-6 with a 6.37 ERA in 12 starts and nine relief appearances against the A's.

The Orioles and Athletics wrap up a three-game series at Camden Yards Sunday.

Matt Garza, Texas Rangers (9-2, 3.59 ERA)

Garza spent his first two big-league seasons with the Minnesota Twins, and will face a former rival in the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Garza is 3-3 with a 4.17 ERA in eight career starts against the White Sox, but limited them to two runs on five hits over seven innings in their last encounter July 8.

The Rangers and White Sox conclude a three-game set in Chicago on Sunday.

Jake Peavy, Boston Red Sox (9-5, 4.25 ERA)

Peavy was one of the top pitchers in the National League with the San Diego Padres a few years back - a fact that isn't lost on the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old right-hander has crushed the Dodgers over his career, going 13-2 with a 2.27 ERA in 24 starts.

The Red Sox and Dodgers finish their three-game interleague series Sunday night in Los Angeles.

Sunday Night Baseball: Red Sox at Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Dodgers (+100, 7.5)

PEAVY PITCHING FOR BOSTON

Jake Peavy is making his fifth start for the Red Sox on Sunday night. Three of those five starts have been on the road with the righty giving up 9 runs and 20 hits to the Giants, Blue Jays, and Royals. Peavy is making his eighth start against the National League this season despite playing for two different American League squads. He has allowed 4 earned runs or more in five of his last eight starts and he only has eight strikeouts in his last three outings. Peavy has not made it past the 7th inning in eight straight starts.

CAPUANO CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE

Chris Capuano is 4-6 with a 4.70 ERA and 1.44 WHIP this season for the Dodgers. He has allowed 13 runs and 26 hits in his last three starts against the Marlins, Mets, and Rays. He is making his fifth start against the American League this season. Capuano got rocked by the Blue Jays, Angels, and Rays in two of those outings while beating the Yankees in New York. The southpaw is on an incredibly odd run of either giving up 3 runs or more or allowing zero runs in 11 straight starts.

INJURY REPORT

The Dodgers are a pretty healthy team, however they are without Josh Beckett and Chad Billingsley for the rest of the season. Beckett is dealing with a neck issue, while Billingsley had Tommy John surgery. Matt Kemp will likely rejoin the team sometime in September due to a left ankle sprain.

Boston’s injury list is a lot longer with Matt Thornton, Clay Buchholz, Andrew Bailey, Andrew Miller, and Joel Hanrahan all missing right now. Buchholz is expected back next month, while Thornton is out with a right oblique strain and currently on the 15-day disabled list.

TRENDS

Red Sox are 6-2 their last 8 in Game 3 of a series
Red Sox are 6-2 Under in their last 8 Sunday games

Dodgers are 7-0 in Capuano’s last 7 starts
Dodgers are 7-2 Under in their last 9 Sunday games

HITTERS TO WATCH

Andre Ethier 5-for-33 vs. Peavy
Hanley Ramirez 1-for-13 vs. Peavy

Shane Victorino 3-for-8 vs. Capuano
Jonny Gomes 2-for-9 vs. Capuano
