Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Some NFL trends with Week 3 upon us........

-- Jacksonville is 1-7 in its last eight games as an underdog.

-- Giants are 4-8 in last dozen divisional home games.

-- Colts covered the last six times they were a home underdog.

-- Denver covered five of last six games as a road favorite.

-- Ravens are 2-6 in last eight games as a road underdog.

-- Arizona is 13-4 in its last 17 games as a non-divisional home dog.

*****

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Our NFL List of 13.........

32) Jaguars— Traded LT Monroe to Baltimore this week. Been outscored 75-8 in first half of games; could be getting 27.5 or 28 points in Denver next week, which would be biggest spread in NFL history. It opened at -26, but who will take it?

31) Buccaneers—War between Schiano/Freeman becoming increasingly ugly; releasing Freeman’s medical data breaks the law. Next year, neither guy will be anywhere near Bucs’ Place. Best news for Tampa; this is their bye week.

30) Steelers—0-4 for first time since ’68; they’re already -11 in turnovers, and still haven’t run ball for more than 80 yards in any game. Best news for Steelers: this is their bye week, too.

29) Giants— Hard to have a screwed-up OL with immobile QB. Outscored 69-7 in last two games, by teams who combined to go 8-24 last year. Neither Jersey team got inside red zone last week, though each team scored on one long TD. Cut RB Scott this week, who played 27 of 56 snaps in KC.

28) Rams—Season of promise is a debacle so far; they’ve been behind 21-0/24-0/24-3 in last three games. Better beat Jags this week, or else…….

8) Dolphins—Lead NFL in red zone offense points/possession, have quick turnaround vs Ravens this week, after losing for first time Monday night in Superdome. Having problems getting free agent WR Wallace involved.

7) Colts—Crushed both 49ers/Jags on 2-game road swing, now host 4-0 Seattle this week. Organization not getting enough credit for staying strong after Manning era ended- its tough to replace a legend, still be a good team.

6) Lions—Scored 27-40 points in last two games; none of their three TD drives vs Chicago were longer than 51 yards, plus defense scored one. Stafford is lone QB drafted in ’09 who is still starting.

5) Patriots—Tom Brady is one of three best QBs of all-time; look at the journeyman WRs he throws to, and he makes it work. In last two games, Pats allowed one TD, four FGs on opponents’ eight red zone drives.

4) Chiefs-- +9 in turnovers, have allowed opponents inside 20-yard line four times in four games. We chuckled LY when 2-14 team had six guys in Pro Bowl, but they did and still do have talent- its getting coached better now.

3) Saints—Lot of fun watching #9 play QB. Defense appears improved under Rob Ryan; he's kept things simpler than when he was in Dallas.

2) Seahawks—Finding ways to win, but have to be little concerned about Wilson’s play on road. Win enough games, though and you don’t go on road in the playoffs.

1) Broncos—Could sit here all day and quote stats about how great they’ve been; only 17 of their last 144 plays came on third down. Think about that one. Already scored three TDs on special teams, too.

Pirates at Cardinals: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pittsburgh Pirates at St. Louis Cardinals (-152, 6.5)

The St. Louis Cardinals endured a season-long battle with division rivals Pittsburgh and Cincinnati before winning the National League Central, but they will line up against a familiar foe when they host the Pirates in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Thursday. St. Louis surged into the playoffs with a six-game winning streak while allowing only six runs. Pittsburgh will have to slow the highest-scoring team in the NL in its first postseason appearance since 1992.

Pittsburgh won the season series 10-9 and beat up on the Cardinals at home, but St. Louis took the last four matchups, including a three-game sweep in September that served as a springboard for a 17-5 finish. The Pirates rely on a strong home-field edge - See: raucous crowd in Tuesday's 6-2 wild card win over Cincinnati - but they were among the best teams in the majors with a 44-37 record on the road. The return of Jason Grilli as closer could give the Pirates an edge at the back of the bullpen.

TV: 5:07 p.m. ET, TBS

WEATHER: Temperatures in the low 80s with a 40 percent chance of thunder showers and winds blowing south at 8 mph.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH A.J. Burnett (10-11, 3.30 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Adam Wainwright (19-9, 2.94)

Burnett enters the playoffs off back-to-back wins against Cincinnati to give him nine consecutive seasons with double-digit victories. He'll be facing St. Louis for the seventh time this season and the results have been dramatically different between home and away. Burnett gave up two runs in 21 innings at PNC Park but was tattooed for 10 runs over 7 1/3 innings in two late-season starts in St. Louis.

Wainwright led the majors in complete games (5) and tied for the NL lead in victories after winning his last four decisions, including seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball against Pittsburgh on Sept. 7. He absorbed consecutive beatings by Cincinnati before rebounding to permit only seven runs in his last five starts. Wainwright is 9-6 with a 2.53 ERA and four complete games in 17 home starts.

TRENDS:

* Over is 16-4-2 in the last 22 meetings in St. Louis.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Pirates are 0-4 in the last four meetings in St. Louis.
* Cardinals are 7-3 in Wainwright's last 10 starts vs. Pirates.

WALK-OFFS:

1. St. Louis' balanced lineup can be a nightmare - it featured five players who had at least 78 RBIs and batted between .296 and .319.

2. Pirates CF Andrew McCutchen is 12-for-28 and wild card hero Russell Martin (two homers) is 9-for-22 versus Wainwright.

3. Cardinals 2B Matt Carpenter is 9-for-21 with two doubles and two triples against Burnett.

Dodgers at Braves: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves (+129, 6)

The Atlanta Braves have lost seven consecutive playoff series and might have to face Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw twice in order to end that dismal streak. Atlanta hosts the Dodgers in Thursday’s opener of the National League Division Series and a Game 1 victory over Kershaw would bolster the Braves’ odds of prevailing. The Dodgers are back in the postseason after a three-season absence and turned their season around with a stretch of 42 wins in 50 games.

Los Angeles will ride the bats of shortstop Hanley Ramirez, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and outfielder Yasiel Puig in the series and is moving outfielder Carl Crawford into the leadoff spot for the opener. Atlanta’s most consistent bat belongs to first baseman Freddie Freeman and he’ll receive offensive support from outfielder Justin Upton and third baseman Chris Johnson. The Braves opted to leave struggling Dan Uggla off the series roster and will go with journeyman Elliot Johnson as the starting second baseman.

TV: 8:37 p.m. ET, TBS

WEATHER: Temperatures in the mid 70s with clear skies and winds blowing SSE at 2 mph.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (16-9, 1.83 ERA) vs. Braves RH Kris Medlen (15-12, 3.11)

Kershaw led the majors in ERA and WHIP (0.92) and had an NL-leading 232 strikeouts while putting together a season that will likely earn him his second Cy Young Award. He hasn’t faced Atlanta since 2011 and is 0-0 with a 2.45 ERA in four career outings against the Braves. Kershaw limited opposing hitters to a .187 average in 16 road starts while going 8-3 with a 2.14 ERA.

Medlen was superb down the stretch, going 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in five September starts while being named NL Pitcher of the Month. He went 1-0 against the Dodgers this season, allowing one unearned run and seven hits over 13 2/3 innings and is 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA in eight career appearances (three starts). Medlen was 9-3 with a 2.38 ERA after the All-Star break.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings in Atlanta.
* Under is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings.
* Dodgers are 2-5 in the last seven meetings in Atlanta.
* Dodgers are 2-5 in the last seven meetings.

WALK-OFFS:

1. The Braves won the season series, 5-2, but all the meetings were in the first half of the season before the Dodgers caught fire.

2. Atlanta OF Justin Upton is just 3-for-29 with nine strikeouts against Kershaw from his time with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

3. Los Angeles OF Andre Ethier (ankle) has batted once since Sept. 13, while OF Matt Kemp (ankle) will miss the postseason.
