Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

Six of the more interesting NFL games this weekend:

-- Dallas @ Detroit (-3)-- Average total in Detroit home games? 60.3.

-- Browns @ Chiefs (-7)-- Under is 21-6 in KC's last 27 home games.

-- Dolphins @ Patriots (-6.5)-- Over a month since Miami's last win.

-- Jets @ Bengals (-6.5)-- Cincinnati has two-game lead in AFC North.

-- Redskins @ Broncos (-12.5)-- Shanahan returns to Denver.

-- Packers (-9.5) @ Vikings-- Line jumped three points Tuesday.

*****

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

13) Would be curious to hear what Jim Leyland has to offer in the TV broadcast booth, especially with Tim McCarver retiring from FOX after the World Series. Can you smoke in the broadcast booth? Leyland used to chain smoke in the dugout before MLB banned it.

12) Key stat in Jets’ win over New England: Patriots converted 1 of 12 third down plays, Jets were 11-21. Those are very strong numbers for a Jet team that is way better than anyone thought they would be.

11) Credit to Jet coaches for seeing that New England used that push tactic against the Saints and even though it wasn’t called then and had never been called in the NFL (it’s a new rule), they pointed it out to the refs and it got them a big win. That’s one time you can look at the coaches and know they pulled their team over the finish line first with a key piece of strategy.

10) LVH Sportsbook, which I think is the best sportsbook in Las Vegas, has Alabama -3 over Oregon, -6.5 over Florida State if the teams met today in the BCS Championship game. Someone else, Golden Nugget maybe, listed the Tide as -9.5 over Ohio State.

9) Bears fired Lovie Smith so Jay Cutler would play better; now Cutler is out four weeks, the Bears are giving up 33 ppg over last four weeks-- they’re only 4-3 despite forcing 18 turnovers (+7). Chicago is 4-1 when they force 3+ turnovers, 0-2 when they do not.

8) Bears signed QB Jordan Palmer to back up Josh McCown on the roster, with Cutler out for a month; Palmer is Carson Palmer’s little brother- he was doing film study for espn.com, analyzing Tom Brady’s play last week.

Nothing like a journeyman pro sitting behind a keyboard and critiquing one of the three or four best QBs of all time, when he himself wasn’t even that good in college, at UTEP. Now we armchair QBs can analyze his play.

7) Bronx Bombers offered free agent 2B Robinson Cano $138M for eight years ($17.25M/year); he is asking for $305M for ten years. Dodgers just signed Cuban IF Alexander Guerrero, so will be hard for Scott Boras to use LA as leverage against the Bombers in negotiations.

6) Miami Hurricanes got off easy from the NCAA, losing three football scholarships, one basketball scholarship for each of the next three seasons, but they can go bowling this year, which is huge for their recruiting, especially since doing so well on the field. Missouri basketball coach Frank Haith, who was at Miami when most of this stuff happened, got a five-game suspension; I’m guessing he is relieved.

5) This season, only two of 30 big league managers were former pitchers; John Farrell gets the Red Sox to the World Series, so the Reds hired pitching coach Bryan Price as their new manager, replacing Dusty Baker. Teams like to imitate winning teams. Price has never managed anywhere before, so he probably works cheap too, which never hurts.

4) Dodgers fired bench coach Trey Hillman, which doesn't bode well for Don Mattingly, since bench coach/manager are usually closely linked. Mattingly wants a multi-year extension; they obviously aren't offering one.

3) Clippers/Lakers share the Staples Center for home games; Clippers are going to cover the Laker stuff on the walls for home games this year, which I’m actually surprised they’ve never done before.

Clips are probably the better team this year, but some Laker folks are upset about their banners/jerseys being covered up. To me, not a big deal, just a team fighting to establish its own identity.

2) Not sure how I forgot to mention this yesterday, but congrats to coach Nevada Smith on being named head coach of the Rio Grande Vipers of the NDBL; three days ago, Coach Smith was hoop coach at Keystone, a D-III school in eastern Pennsylvania. Now he's coaching pros-- it shows how the Houston Rockets are progressive thinkers and hire based on merit.

1) Can’t see how anyone drops Denver out of the #1 spot in the NFL power ratings, just because Broncos lost 39-33 at Indy. Doesn’t matter that much, but why should it be automatic that they fall a slot or two just because of one bad night?

**Udog** · 10-23-2013, 08:45 AM

Football lines that make you go hmmm...

The New Orleans Saints aren’t the type of team to let things slide.

The Saints, fueled by last year’s “Bounty Gate”-bogged season and suspension of head coach Sean Payton, seem destined to make a run at the Super Bowl – throwing it in the face of the NFL.

The next step in their revenge plot is a home win over the Buffalo Bills, who unfortunately walk into a buzz saw in Week 8. New Orleans has been fuming for two weeks after letting a win slip away against New England in Week 6 and has had a bye week to make sure it never, ever happens again.

Despite this motivation, oddsmakers are only giving the visiting Bills 12.5 points Sunday, keeping the high-powered Saints below two-touchdown favorites.

Sure, Buffalo has shown some fight in recent weeks and is coming off a win over Miami, but New Orleans is the class of the NFC and has the firepower and new-founded defensive prowess to turn this non-conference clash into a blowout.

The Saints aren’t taking it easy on the Bills in the “Big Easy” this weekend.

NCAAF

Texas Longhorns at TCU Horned Frogs (-1.5)

Big 12 bettors aren't the only ones going "hmmm..." when it comes to the spread for Texas at TCU Saturday.

“I heard we were picked to lose,” Texas QB Case McCoy told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, questioning Saturday’s spread, which has come down from TCU -3 to -1.5.

The Longhorns are picking up steam after a huge victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry two weeks ago and bring a three-game winning streak into Fort Worth. Texas is still going with McCoy under center. He's doing a good job managing the passing game while allowing the Horns rushing attack to set the pace. Texas stampeded over OU for 255 yards and is averaging just over 200 yards on the ground since McCoy took over for the injured David Ash.

Texas Christian fell to Oklahoma State last weekend and hasn’t been able to hang with the conference elite this season, losing to OSU, OU, and Texas Tech. Yet, books are setting the Horned Frogs as slight home favorites Saturday night.

“People are always doubting us,” Texas CB Quandre Diggs told reporters. “It motivates me a lot. We were the underdog against OU. We’ll be the underdog against TCU. That’s even better. We just need to go out with the same energy. If we do, it should be a good one.”

Who said teams don't pay attention at the pointspread?

Oklahoma State Cowboys at Iowa State Cyclones (+13)

Oklahoma State’s offense isn’t living up to stats of past seasons. After ranking among the most powerful scoring attacks in the land, the Pokes are mustering only 35.7 points per game this fall – a bleak average compared to last season’s production of 44.7 points per game.

However, the Cowboys have a real chance to open up the playbook against Iowa State, which just got rolled for 71 points versus Baylor last Saturday. The Cyclones rank 111th in points against, giving up 36.7 per game and have lost three straight, dropping to 1-5 on the year.

Oklahoma State is coming off a big win over TCU, defeating the Horned Frogs 24-10 as a 6-point home favorite, and is just under two-touchdown road chalk in Week 9.

The Cowboys could roll with two QBs again Saturday, splitting snaps between J.W. Walsh and Clint Chelf. Whoever is throwing the ball should have plenty of space to operate against an ISU defense that is last in the Big 12 with only 10 sacks and just two interceptions.

Cardinals at Red Sox: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Cardinals at Boston Red Sox (-119, 7)

The St. Louis Cardinals have won a pair of World Series since falling to the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and will make their fourth trip to the Fall Classic in 10 years looking for revenge. The Red Sox completed a remarkable turnaround from last place in 2012 and will try to take down the Cardinals again when they host Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday. David Ortiz is the only player left from Boston’s sweep in 2004 and is still piling up key postseason hits.

St. Louis’ lone holdovers from that 2004 showdown are Mike Matheny, who went from starting catcher to manager, and Yadier Molina, who went from Matheny’s backup to one of the best catchers in the game. One of Boston’s big advantages in the American League playoffs was on the base paths - an area Molina regularly controls. The Cardinals and Red Sox are stacked up and down the roster and tied for the most wins in the majors during the regular season with 97.

TV: 8:07 p.m. ET, FOX

WEATHER: Temperatures in the high 40s with partly cloudy skies and a 52 percent chance of rain early Wesnesday. Winds blowing west at 7 mph.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Adam Wainwright (2-1, 1.57 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH Jon Lester (2-1, 2.33)

Wainwright served as the closer on St. Louis’ 2006 World Champion squad and was forced to watch the 2011 team win from the bench while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 32-year-old led the National League with 19 wins during the regular season and was spectacular during the NL playoffs, striking out 20 batters while issuing one walk in 23 total innings. Wainwright’s lone road playoff start was his only loss, allowing two runs on six hits in seven innings at Los Angeles.

Lester allowed two or fewer runs in each of his three postseason starts and 10 of the last 13 going back to the regular season. The 29-year-old won the clinching game of the 2007 World Series in Colorado, allowing three hits in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. Lester is 4-4 with a 2.49 ERA in 11 career postseason games - nine starts.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings.
* Over is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings in Boston.
* Cardinals are 7-3 in their last 10 World Series games.
* Red Sox are 8-0 in their last eight World Series games.

WALK-OFFS:

1. Cardinals 1B Allen Craig (foot) missed the first two rounds of the playoffs but is expected to be activated for the World Series.

2. Boston rookie 3B Xander Bogaerts reached base in eight of his 11 postseason plate appearances and is likely to stay in the lineup.

3. St. Louis RF Carlos Beltran owns a .337 batting average and .449 on-base percentage with 16 homers and 37 RBIs in 45 career playoff games, but will be making his World Series debut.

World Series games leaning toward Under since 2000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals send their respective aces to the mound for Game 1 of the World Series Wednesday, but don’t jump on the Under just yet.

Since 2000, the Over/Under in Game 1 of the World Series has bounced around on both sides of the number, with contending teams posting a 7-6 O/U record in that span.

Boston gives the ball to Jon Lester (2-1, 2.33 ERA) while St. Louis goes with Adam Wainwright (2-1, 1.57 ERA), keeping the Game 1 total at a low 7 runs.

While Game 1 of the World Series hasn’t produced a solid lean to either side of the total, looking back at the entire series has shown the Under is the smart play. World Series contenders are 28-37 O/U since 2000 – a winning percentage of 57 percent for Under bettors.

Looking back at World Series involving either the Red Sox or Cardinals, and the under is 8-12 O/U in those games, including a 1-3 O/U record when these clubs collided in the 2004 World Series in which Boston swept 4-0.

The Red Sox and Cardinals have been fairly split on the Over/Under this postseason with a collective 11-8-2 O/U mark heading into Game 1. However, in their league championship series, Boston and St. Louis were a combined 4-6-2 O/U.

Heading into Wednesday’s series opener, Boston and St. Louis have gone 2-6-1 O/U in their last nine meetings but are 5-2-1 O/U in their last eight head-to-head contests at Fenway Park. The Over is also 3-1-1 in each of Wainwright’s and Lester’s last five starts.
