Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six of the more interesting NFL pointspreads this week:

-- Ravens (+8) @ Broncos-- First time in decade defending champs open on road. Major revenge motive for Denver; then there's the Dumervil angle.

-- Patriots (-10) @ Bills-- Buffalo QB Jeff Tuel is first undrafted rookie QB since AFL-NFL merger to start season opener. Tough spot for him.

-- Bucs (-3) @ Jets-- Revis returns to Swamp with Bucs. Jets haven't clue about who their QB should be. No way Geno Smith is ready yet.

-- Packers (+4.5) @ 49ers-- Niners beat Pack twice LY, including a playoff game, but they've had an injury-riddled offseason.

-- Giants (+3) @ Dallas-- Big Blue won last four visits here, scoring 34 ppg Monte Kiffin is Pokes' new DC. Will he make a difference?

-- Eagles (+3.5) @ Redskins-- Chip Kelly's debut replacing the best coach in Eagle history. How healthy is RGIII's surgically repaired knee?


*****

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..........

13) Jameis Winston is the freshman QB at Florida State; his debut for the Seminoles went like this: 25-27/356 yards, four TDs passing, another on the ground as FSU crushed Pitt 41-13. He looked very, very good.

12) Twitter was blowing up over Winston's debut, seeing as the football game was the only thing on basis cable Monday night. Johnny Manziel should send Mr Winston a thank you note; now the college football media, which has way too much time on its hands, has something else to talk about.

11) Florida State tight end Nick O'Leary caught three TD passes Monday; he is Jack Nicklaus' grandson.

10) 15 major league baseball games Monday, only two of them at night; how is this possible, wuith only one (college) football game on TV? Mets had to play at 1:10 Monday- they got to their Atlanta hotel at 3:50am Monday, after playing in Washington Monday night. Bush league scheduling.

9) Cool baseball record I had to look up today, when Freddie Freeman had five RBI in the first two innings; most RBI by a player in one game.

1924-- Jim Bottomley, St Louis
1993-- Mark Whiten, St Louis-- His four home run game.

Thats an underrated record, no?

8) Jets signed Brady Quinn Monday and I've lost track of how many QBs they have; ironic that Quinn once sat the bench in Denver behind Tim Tebow and from what you read, they didn't get along too well. Life can be funny.

7) Over the last seven years, Auburn has had a different starting QB every year; they won a national title in 2010, then fired their coach a couple years later- it is safe to say their administration is intimidated by the success the Crimson Tide has had. Its unfair, but its the world we live in today.

6) Angel pitcher Garrett Richards threw 51 balls, 52 strikes Monday nite, but only allowed two hits and left after five innings with a 5-1 lead- hard to have such a lousy ball/strike ratio and only allow one run.

After the fifth inning, interestinng to see Richards sitting on the bench, just he and Albert Pujols, and Pujols was doing all the talking. One of the best ways to learn how to pitch is to pick the mind of great hitters.

5) In his last seven competitive rounds at TPC Boston, Brandon Steele is -10 on the 18th hole- thats an amazing record. Three eagles, four birdies-- I couldn't do that in miniature golf.

4) Justin Verlander is winless in his last five starts, first time that has happened since 2008. Tigers keep winning though.

3) In his last nine starts, Cardinal pitcher Joe Kelly is 7-0, 1.89. You read what scouts say about Kelly and no one saw this coming.

2) In his last two starts, Cardinal ace Adam Wainwright allowed 18 hits, 15 runs in only eight IP, so not everything is well in St Louis.

1) If you're doing a fantasy football draft this week, keep in mind that Texans' RB Arien Foster ran ball 42 times inside opponents' 10-yard line LY. No other RB in the NFL had more than 31 such runs.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

The New York Yankees aren’t making the playoffs, trailing the Boston Red Sox by nine games in the American League East entering the week. That doesn’t mean the Bronx Bombers are going to lay down the red carpet for the BoSox, though. New York has a four-game home set with Boston, starting Thursday, and would love nothing more than to throw a wrench into the Red Sox’s run.

But before that heated divisional rivalry, the Yankees welcome the lowly Chicago White Sox to Yankee Stadium for three games, kicking off Monday. New York has shown a tendency to look ahead to the Red Sox, losing all three games that preceded a series with Boston this season. The Yanks send struggling ace C.C. Sabathia to the mound in the series finale with Chicago Wednesday, giving the ChiSox some serious moneyline value.

Letdown spot

Auburn got a huge monkey of its back this weekend, taking down Washington State 31-24. The Tigers, who are coming off a 3-9 2012 record and working under new head coach Gus Malzahn, didn’t cover as 14-point favorites but were more than happy to get the “W” over the Cougars. The victory wasn’t pretty. Auburn struggled to pass and defend the pass, was whistled for careless penalties, and fumbled three times.

War Eagle is in a rare spot heading into Week 2’s date with Arkansas State, primed for a letdown after a win. The Red Wolves stretched their legs and boosted their confidence with a 62-11 thumping of Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Week 1. They’ve ruled the roost in the Sun Belt the past two seasons and have shown that they can run with the BCS boys in past years. Oddsmakers aren’t taking ASU lightly, keeping the spread under two touchdowns at -13.

Schedule spot

Labor Day in Canada guarantees three things: 1. The alarm is off. 2. The beer is cold. 3. The Eskimos and Stampeders are butting heads. The CFL’s annual “Labor Day Classic” matchup pits Alberta’s two franchises against each other each September, with Edmonton coming to Calgary as a 7.5-point underdog Monday.

These teams turn around and do it all again Friday, with only three full days rest in between games. Calgary makes the trip north to Commonwealth Stadium in Week 11 and has dominated Round 2 of this provincial rematch in recent years. The Stamps and Eskies have split the last six Labor Day Classic games 3-3 ATS but Calgary is a perfect 6-0 versus Edmonton in the second stop of the home-and-home set.

NFL odds: Week 1 opening line report

The NFL Week 1 odds are about as fresh as your gym bag, having been on the board since the middle of summer.

While these spreads and totals have taken action over the past few months, the majority of money is still to come. We talk to oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com about some of the more intriguing opening NFL odds, line adjustments and where these numbers could close come kickoff.

Baltimore Ravens at Denver Broncos – Open: -9, Move: -9.5, Move: -7.5

The Thursday night opener has been up and down over the summer, with the latest wave of action coming in on the Ravens following Broncos LB Von Miller’s suspension and injuries to the Denver offensive line.

“On Sunday, we moved the line in Baltimore’s favor again to +7.5 as 70 percent of current action on the spread is backing the Super Bowl champs,” Mike Perry of Sportsbook.com tells Covers. “I think this line stays at -7.5 until kickoff on Thursday. Seven is too important a number and we don’t want to get middled by people who could buy off this number.”

Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers – Open: +3, Move: +2.5, Move: +4

The Seahawks were the sexy offseason pick after a brilliant 2012 effort. Carolina, however, turned heads down the home stretch of the season, going 5-1 SU and ATS in the final six games.

Early action saw sharp money take Seattle but some books dropped this spread with money on the Panthers at home. Perry says this could end up being the biggest decision for the books in Week 1, with 86 percent of money siding with the Seahawks.

“We moved the line to -4 Sunday, as we are exposed so much on Seattle,” he says. “This line should stay at -4, until Sunday morning, where I could see us going to -4.5 to try and get some money on the Panthers.”

Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers – Open: -5, Move: -4.5, Move: -4

Up until last season, when New England trounced Tennessee in Week 1, the Super Bowl loser had failed to cover the spread in their opener in 12 straight seasons. Action has sided with San Francisco for this playoff rematch with the Packers, including early sharp money. According to Perry, nearly 70 percent of handle is on the 49ers.

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys – Open: -3, Move: -2.5, Move: -3

This Sunday Night Football grudge match has hovered around a field goal most of the summer. According to Perry, about 60 percent of the action is on the Cowboys at home. Dallas won the season opener in New York last season but went a dismal 1-7 ATS as a host in 2012.

“When talking NFL spreads, the three is stronger than Matt Cushman’s word - played by Beau Bridges in Jerry Maguire. Cushman’s word was stronger than oak,” jokes Perry. “I will tell you that we won’t move off -3 until game time. Oh yeah, Cushman lied."

College football line watch: Act now on UAB +35

Each week during the college football season, renowned Las Vegas wiseguy and Covers Expert Bruce Marshall looks at the NCAAF odds and tells you which spread to bet now, which one to bet later, and which total to watch as the week plays out.

Spread to bet now

UAB Blazers (+35) at LSU Tigers

Now that this number has tickled five full TDs, grab the price value with the Blazers while you can. SEC pedigree or not for LSU, that minimally-key number of 35 should nonetheless provide a nice point of resistance, as we doubt there is going to be overwhelming appetite in the marketplace to continue buying on Les Miles’ team that has flashed indifferent spread form not only as a high-priced home favorite, but also against non-conference opposition in Baton Rouge.

UAB is no powerhouse but is hardly helpless, with a competent offense and a new potential homerun wideout in Jamarcus Nelson. Closer inspection of the Tigers’ win over TCU also uncovered some surprising defensive deficiencies, which should scare away any serious LSU money as the week progresses. In turn, no surprise if market pressure eventually pushes the number downward. Blazer backers should rush to secure any available 35s ASAP.

Spread to wait on

New Mexico Lobos (+6.5) at UTEP Miners

Safe to say that there is not going to be any rush of New Mexico money to the windows of the Las Vegas sports books. Especially after the Lobos managed to blow a 13-0 lead at home to Texas...San Antonio in the opening week. Which has helped push the early price of this week’s game at UTEP to nearly a full TD. Now word is filtering from Albuquerque that HC Bob Davie has already seen enough of soph Cole Gautsche and will make the switch to juco Clayton Mitchem at QB on Saturday at the Sun Bowl, hardly the sort of news to trigger a wave of Lobo support.

The anti-New Mexico money alone could push the price above the key number of 7 sometime this week. So, if you like the Lobos to bounce back, or simply don’t trust the host Miners, you might as well wait until this price crashes past that key number.

Total to watch

San Jose State Spartans at Stanford Cardinal

With scoring totals rising as more “video football” takes hold across the country, we’ll be curious to see if any totals in fact drop during the week, especially in games highlighting featured teams. A good litmus test might come in the San Jose State-Stanford “Battle for Silicon Valley” on Saturday night in Palo Alto. Unlike several other games featuring ranked (and non-ranked) teams this week, there was not much immediate buy pressure on the over when this total was posted at 53.

Given the fact both sides play good defense (yes, even San Jose, which pitched a shutout vs. capable FCS Sac State in its opener), were involved in a taut 20-17 scoreline last season, and the Spartans’ new pro-style offense under first-year HC Ron Caragher that figures to slow the pace of their games significantly, we’d normally expect some downward “total” pressure. But if the total doesn’t drop before kickoff in this game, when can we expect any totals to drop?

Alouettes at Argonauts: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Montreal Alouettes at Toronto Argonauts (-4.5, 50.5)

The Montreal Alouettes found a reason for hope after rookie quarterback Tanner Marsh engineered a miraculous comeback last week to give the Alouettes their first victory since firing coach Dan Hawkins. Veteran starter Anthony Calvillo is still sidelined with concussion symptoms, so Montreal will likely turn to Marsh again when it visits the rival Toronto Argonauts on Tuesday. Marsh, 23, threw for 329 yards - including a 57-yard completion with 15 seconds left - and ran for 71, but also tossed four interceptions in a 39-38 victory over the BC Lions on Aug. 22, and must be more accurate if he wants to build on his first CFL victory.

The East Division-leading Argonauts are also without their starting quarterback after they announced Ricky Ray would miss 4-to-8 weeks with a shoulder injury, meaning backup Zach Collaros will start Tuesday. Collaros has looked strong at times replacing Ray, completing 51-of-72 passes for 675 yards, four touchdowns and one interception and adding 120 rushing yards. Toronto has lacked a consistent running game since running back Chad Kackert was injured, something Collaros might be able to change with his explosive quickness.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (3-5): Calvillo, 41, is having trouble with his focus and vision as well as other concussion-related issues, leading to speculation that professional football’s all-time passing yards leader might have taken his last snap. Calvillo, though, said he plans on returning once the concussion symptoms subside. Linebacker Kyries Hebert, who leads the team with seven sacks, missed last week’s game, but Montreal’s defense still managed five sacks without him. Linebacker Chip Cox leads the league with 62 tackles.

ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (5-3): Running back Curtis Steele has been limited to nine carries for 61 yards over the last two games while he battles minor injuries. Slotback Chad Owens has a league-leading 1,587 total combined yards - on pace to reach 3,000 again after setting a CFL record in 2012. Linebacker Rich McCune is second in the league (behind Cox) with 53 tackles, while linebacker Shane Horton and defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell each have three sacks for Toronto’s defense, which has given up 68 points in the two games since the Argonauts won 38-13 at Montreal in Week 7.

TRENDS:

* Alouettes are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games in Week 10.
* Argonauts are 5-0 ATS in their last five versus the East.
* The under is 6-0 in the last six meetings.
* The under is 6-1 in Alouettes last seven versus the East.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. The Argonauts will visit Montreal next week to close out their home-and-home series. The teams will face each other once more in Toronto on the final week of the regular season.

2. The New England Patriots of the NFL released QB Tim Tebow on Saturday. Montreal holds Tebow’s CFL rights, but the 26-year-old has said in the past he has no interest in joining the league.

3. Collaros was limited to 44 passing yards and 31 rushing yards in almost three quarters of action against the Alouettes during Toronto's Week 7 victory.
