Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Bronx Bombers' contract obligations for next season.........that adds up to $81.125M for five players, $84.125M if they ax Jeter.

-- Alex Rodriguez, $26,000,000
-- Vernon Wells, $2.5M (2 other teams are paying his other $22.125M)
-- Mark Teixeira, $23.125,000
-- CC Sabathia, $23,000,000
-- Derek Jeter has a $3M buyout if they don't want him around.
-- Ichiro Suzuki, $6,500,000

Everyone else is either a free agent, arbitration eligible or a minor leaguer. As far as Robinson Cano is concerned, the Dodgers are supposedly giving Alexander Guerrero $32M for five years, and he plays infield, so that will probably take them out of the Cano bidding.

*****

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

13) Carolina Panthers ran 49 plays in their whole game Sunday; Eagles ran 30 in the first quarter Monday night, 53 in the first half, in their 33-27 win over the Redskins. Curious to see how teams adjust to this unique, faster style, but Washington sure wasn't ready for it.

12) Texas Longhorns pushed the panic button and fired DC Manny Diaz Sunday, after BYU ran for 550 yards in a 40-21 upset win. Texas is 1-1 and won their first game 56-7, and a coaching change is needed already? Yikes. Texas replaced Diaz with former Syracuse coach Greg Robinson.

11) Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight has a bruised knee, will miss at least one game as run-oriented QB Blake Bell will start the Sooners' next game.

10) USC named Cody Kessler its starting QB, even though he already started the Trojans' first two games; USC didn't have a pass play longer than eight yards against the Coogs Saturday. Trojans play Boston College next.

9) Hunter Pence has started every game for the Giants this year; the last time a major league OF started every game in a season was Jeff Francoeur for the 2007 Braves.

8) Gene Simmons is now co-owner of the Los Angeles KISS of Arena Football; being an excellent businessman, Simmons has offered Tim Tebow a contract with the KISS, which would help Tebow become a better QB, and make both of them a lot of money, but the AFL season is already over for this year. Maybe next spring; if Tebow really wants to be an NFL QB, he has to improve his passing. He can do that in the AFL.

7) USC's ugly 10-7 home loss to Washington State Saturday already has jackals circling over Lane Kiffin's head. Los Angeles media has floated names of (USC alum) former Jaguar coach Jack Del Rio, Vanderbilt's coach James Franklin as possible replacements if Trojan AD Pat Haden fires Kiffin.

6)\ Jacksonville declared Blaine Gabbert out for this week's game; backup QBs for Jaguars are Chad Henne and the highly suspect Ricky Stanzi- they also have Denard Robinson, who could run the Wildcat.

5) Fresno State ran the old hook-and-ladder trick play Saturday, with the guy scoring a TD an offensive lineman- odd play to see. Miami once scored a TD in playoff game on that play, but with Duriel Harris scoring a TD.

4) TCU lost QB Casey Pachall for eight weeks with a broken left arm, which is his non-throwing arm. Horned Frogs play on TV Thursday, against Texas Tech in Lubbock.

3) College football has a rule on 2-point conversions, where the defense can score two points by returning a fumble, INT or blocked kick all the way back for a score. The NFL needs this rule; makes the game little more interesting.

2) No one dislikes NFL exhibition games more than me, but Monday's game shows how you need one or two games to sharpen your skills to play in real games, where the speeds amps up exponentially. Robert Griffin III will have his training camp this month, which ain't how its supposed to be..

1) Its an understatement to say that the Redskins got a bad deal from the NFL playing the Eagles in Week 1. No one really knew what to expect from Chip Kelly's team. Future opponents will be better prepared.

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

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that has 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

It was more of the same for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. A year after squeaking out so many close wins on last-minute drives, Indianapolis and QB Andrew Luck put together another come-from-behind victory versus Oakland Sunday.

Some say these nail bitters prove the Colts don’t belong in the Super Bowl conversation. Indy will get the chance to prove those doubters wrong when they tangle with San Francisco in Week 3. However, lurking in a potential lookahead spot are the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Miami rolled Cleveland in its opener and its defense picked off three passes and forced two fumbles in the win. The Fins are getting a field goal on the road.

Letdown spot

One of the big shockers from Week 2 of the college football season was Illinois’ 45-17 thrashing of Cincinnati. Books had the Illini pegged as 7.5-point home underdogs before things took a bad turn for the Bearcats. The momentum swung when a Cincy TD run was called back in the third quarter and QB Munchie Legaux was knocked out of the game in the fourth.

Illinois took full advantage and heads into Week 3’s date with Washington at a surprising 2-0. Oddsmakers opened the Illini as 8-point home dogs and sharp money chased that spread all the way to +10.5. It seems the wiseguys are also expecting a letdown from Illinois in Week 3.

Schedule spot

The Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up a nine-game road trip with an interleague set against the Texas Rangers this week. The Pirates, reeling from a draining three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals (going 0-3), will get no mercy from the Rangers or the scorching Texas sun.

Temperatures in Arlington are expected to hit the high 90s during the Bucs’ stay, especially during the final game of the series Wednesday. East Coast clubs have notoriously wilted in the Texas heat and you can expect Pittsburgh to be running on fumes during this interleague showdown.

College football line watch: Jump on BC +14 now

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

Boston College Eagles (+14) at USC Trojans

True, this number projected closer to three TDs a few weeks ago. But that was before we had a chance to take a look at the product the under-fire Lane Kiffin has put on the field this season at USC. And before the rumor mill began to really whirr in L.A., where some wise-guy Trojan backers are now joking that Nancy Grace might begin telecasting her HLN show from the SC campus until AD Pat Haden decides what to do with his coach. Thus, this matchup vs. BC becomes a litmus test for the “Reputation vs. Realty” theory, as the eye test through two weeks would hardly suggest the Trojans even being favored in this game. Expect more discounting of SC in the marketplace as the wagering public becomes keen to Kiffin’s five straight spread losses and 3-12 mark vs. the line since last season. And with the offense looking a mess (especially at QB) and Kiffin walking some very thin ice with dissatisfied SC boosters (and, at some point, we assume, AD Haden), we hardly see any appetite to “buy” on the Trojans, even from those who wear the Cardinal & Gold blazers. Remember, like an airline bankruptcy, it takes a while for the wagering public to come to the reality that former power program isn’t very good anymore, but we suspect the anti-SC sentiment is just revving up in the marketplace.

Meanwhile, the last memory of new HC Steve Addazio’s edition at BC was the impressive Friday night beatdown the Eagles inflicted upon Wake Forest, and in combo with the anti-Kiffin sentiment, this number should drop well below 2 TDs as the week progresses. BC supporters should grab the available 14s while they can.

Spread to wait on

Virginia Tech Hockies (-7.5) at East Carolina Pirates

A few years ago, we could always count on some VPI money showing up at windows of Las Vegas sports books as the Hokies became a lower-grade “public” team for HC Frank Beamer. Now, however, with only eight spread covers in their last 30 games dating to late in the 2010 season, pro-Hokie support in Vegas has disappeared faster than Mitt Romney after last November’s election. Early pricing on this Saturday’s matchup at East Carolina has Beamer laying a tick over 7 at most Nevada outlets. But with so many wagerers burned by VPI the past few years, expect some anti-Hokie money to show up soon, especially with close followers a bit intrigued by ECU and its gunslinger QB Shane Carden.

This price should move beneath the key number of 7 at some point later in the week. So, if looking to beat the crowd to a VPI resurgence and back the Hokies, you might as well wait for a few days, when it would be no surprise if the price dips below that very-key number of 7.

Total to watch

Vanderbilt Commodores at South Carolina Gamecocks

The marketplace usually reacts to pronounced team pointspread trends with a bit more vigor than it does to “totals” tendencies. Nonetheless, we are going to be intrigued if there is much “under” pressure at the Las Vegas sports books with this SEC matchup on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium. Both Vandy and South Carolina have already been involved in a couple of nationally-televised shootouts this season, but the recent series history between these two has been overwhelmingly to the “under” side, with none of the last four games even cracking a combined 30-point barrier, and “unders” 5-0-1 the last six meetings. In fact, the Dores and Gamecocks have not cracked this week’s early posted “total” of 50 since way back in 2005, when Jay Cutler was still throwing passes for Vandy.

The majority of “totals” moves have been upwards this season, but we’ll see how much emphasis the marketplace puts upon the low-scoring history between these two SEC East rivals, or if the public needs more current evidence to push this “total” downward.

NFL Top 5: Players primed for a Week 2 bounceback

The opening Sunday of the NFL season saw plenty of inspired offensive performances - and more than a few clunkers, as well. Fortunately, with the next game less than a week away, players off to slow starts have an immediate chance at redemption.

Here are five players who are in good position for a Week 2 rebound (Week 1 totals in parentheses):

Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers (16-for-23, 125 yards, TD)

Newton was effective when he actually passed the ball, but the Seattle defense made life difficult for him all afternoon long. The former first overall pick was also done in by frequent drops from tight end Greg Olsen which ultimately cost Carolina a chance at a big Week 1 victory. Newton will find things a lot easier this coming week, when he takes on a Buffalo Bills team that allowed Tom Brady to rack up nearly 300 passing yards in a narrow New England win.

Lamar Miller, Miami Dolphins (10 carries, 3 yards)

Miller was awful in the Dolphins' opener, failing to post a single run longer than five yards and losing a pivotal goal-line carry to backup Daniel Thomas. With Ryan Tannehill (24-for-38, 272 yards) moving the ball well, there was less of a need to rely on the running game. Miller should find plenty more success in Week 2, as Miami faces an Indianapolis Colts team that allowed the fourth-most rushing yards in the league last year and gave up 171 to Oakland on Sunday.

Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars (15 carries, 45 yards)

The 2011 NFL rushing champion was stymied all afternoon, breaking off just one double-digit run before being rendered an afterthought once the Jaguars fell way behind. Unless quarterback Blaine Gabbert (16-for-35, 121 yards, 2 INT) figures it out in a hurry, Jones-Drew could be in for a lot of rest come the third and fourth quarters of blowouts. This week should bear more fruit as the Jags visit the woeful Oakland Raiders.

Calvin Johnson, WR, Detroit Lions (four catches, 37 yards)

The hand-wringing over Johnson's pedestrian Week 1 totals looks a lot like the reaction people had last season, when Johnson's slow start to the year had some wondering if he was hurt or struggling with his rapport with Matthew Stafford. We all know how that turned out. Johnson won't have an easy time of it in Detroit's Week 2 tilt with Arizona, but it's a safe bet he'll see plenty of targets against a Cardinals team carved up by Sam Bradford on Sunday.

Zach Sudfeld, TE, New England Patriots (zero catches, zero yards, one target)

Sudfeld was the darling of fantasy sleeper enthusiasts, but looked remarkably un-Gronk-like in his first career NFL game. Sudfeld's only target resulted in an interception, and his limited snap count likely made it difficult for him to get into a rhythm. With Rob Gronkowski expected back soon, Week 2 is a pivotal one for Sudfeld; luckily for him, the Patriots host the New York Jets on Sunday in what should be a rout.

Seven fastest NFL offenses go 6-1 over/under in Week 1

The Philadelphia Eagles successfully debuted their high-octane offense under new head coach Chip Kelly, taking a 33-27 win over the Washington Redskins Monday night.

The Eagles ran 77 plays on offense and piled up 263 rushing yards on 49 carries – the most rushing attempts of any team in Week 1. That quick pace helped top the 52-point total but didn’t set the bar for up-tempo offense during the opening week of the season.

The New England Patriots and their hurry-up offense remains the pace setter in the NFL, running 89 plays in a 23-21 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots were tops in the league in offensive plays per game in 2012, averaging 74.3, and finished as the best over bet in football at 11-5 O/U.

The Baltimore Ravens were second in plays per game during Week 1 with 87 plays in a 49-27 loss to the Denver Broncos Thursday. The Detroit Lions tied the Eagles for the third-fastest pace with 77 plays, beating the Minnesota Vikings 34-24 Sunday.

Of the top seven teams that ran the most offensive plays in Week 1, all but one – New England – played over the total. Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Houston and Dallas all topped their respective game’s number.

Here’s a look at the totals for games involving those seven teams in Week 2:

New York Jets at New England Patriots (44)
Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens (43.5)
Detroit Lions at Arizona Cardinals (47.5)
San Diego Chargers at Philadelphia Eagles (49.5)
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (44)
Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans (44.5)
Dallas Cowboys at Kansas City Chiefs (46.5)
