Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Missouri won the SEC East, Auburn the SEC West; problem is, Auburn is farther east than Columbia, Missouri by a decent amount.

-- Kid who scored the winning TD for Auburn Saturday got a standing ovation when he went to his Geology class Monday morning.

-- Bishop Gorman has the best high school football team in Las Vegas; its QB is Randall Cunningham II, whose dad played at UNLV.

-- Tony Romo has a 24-5 record in November, 11-15 in December.

-- According to the Wall Street Journal, 44% of all sales this past weekend were done online; in 2006, that figure was 23%.

-- Phil Hughes got $24M for three years from the Twins. Go figure.

*****

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

13) Steve Sarkisian inherited an 0-12 Washington program in 2009; Huskies went 34-29, 24-21 in Pac-12 play under the BYU grad/former USC assistant. Apparently that was enough to impress the Trojans, who hired Sarkisian as head coach Monday. Curious move.

12) It is a tremendous kick in the teeth to leave a school for a conference rival; can only think of two times it has happened-- Tommy Tuberville, who bolted Ole Miss for Auburn, and Bruce Snyder, from Cal to Arizona State. It would be more understandable if Sarkisian was an alum, but he's not.

USC-Washington games will be very interesting the next couple of years.

11) Tweet of the Day, from Washington freshman QB Troy Williams: "Don't ever commit cus of a coach. Faker then a 3 dollar bill."

10) Related happening: USC offered Ed Orgeron a raise to stay with the Trojans as an assistant, but he wasn't happy and quit. He really did a fine job as interim coach; guess he isn't that impressed with Sarkisian.

9)) Florida State is #1 in the college football poll for the first time since 2000; they opened up as a 9.5-point favorite over Ohio State, if that matchup were to take place in the BCS title game.

8) Disappointed that there is only one Papa John’s pizza place in the Albany area south of Saratoga, and that one place doesn’t deliver to the area I live in. Dagnabbit; it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had and I can’t get any. Oy.

7) Sounds like Maryland basketball coach Mark Turgeon might not have left Texas A&M for Maryland if he knew the Terps were jumping to the Big Dozen. He’s making big money either way, but it’s a piece of information that might’ve changed his thought process.

6) I asked noted basketball expert Harry the Handicapper if a change from a 0:35 shot clock to a 0:30 clock would have that much of an effect on the college game, and he said it would/will not.

Sounds like its going to happen next year; they might also allow each player six fouls before fouling out, which would be a bigger change.

5) Rory McIlroy won the Australian Open, his first win of 2013, depriving Adam Scott of the Australian Triple Crown. Some of these international golfers never seem to take time off.

4) Of the thirty current head coaches in the NBA, eight of them played for the Knicks, at one time or another.

3) Browns’ WR Josh Gordon has 498 receiving yards in his last two games, with the forgettable Brandon Weeden throwing him passes; the leader for the Jets in receiving yards for the entire 12-game season is Jeremy Kerley, with 347. In 12 games.

Speaking of the Jets, they’re the first team since the 2008 Browns to score 0 or 3 points in consecutive games.

2) Its pretty cool that college football’s national Coach of the Year is going to be a guy who was a high school coach for 16 years. Gus Malzahn will find that he’s raised expectations at Auburn to ridiculous levels, but what a season his team has had. Curious to see how it translates in his recruiting this year.

1) I’m convinced Thanksgiving weekend is busiest sports weekend of the year; so much going on. Rivalry Saturday in college football, 16-game NFL slate, lot of college basketball tournaments, as well as NBA/NHL. Just lot of stuff going on, tremendous amount of action.

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

Spot bets are classic handicapping practices 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.

Letdown spot

The Villanova Wildcats had fun in the sun this past weekend, shocking No. 2 Kansas and edging Iowa in overtime to win the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas. The Wildcats narrowly avoided a massive letdown against the Hawkeyes in the championship game, overcoming a sloppy first half in which they committed 12 of their 19 turnovers. If it wasn’t for James Bell catching fire from beyond the arc, Villanova would have been a one-hit wonder this weekend.

It will be a shock to the system when the Wildcats return home. Not only does the bitter cold of Philadelphia sting extra when you’ve been soaking in the tropical heat but Villanova could come crashing back to earth against two tough opponents this week. The Wildcats face off against Big 5 rivals Penn Wednesday and St. Joseph’s Saturday. Be careful of overinflated Villanova’s bubble bursting this week.

Lookahead spot

The Houston Rockets are living up to the preseason hype, jumping out to a 13-5 record and winning five straight games heading into Monday’s matchup with Utah. The Rockets peaked with a 112-106 win over the division-leading Spurs Saturday and can make another huge statement in the Western Conference with a win over Golden State Friday.

But before Houston butts heads with the Warriors, it hosts the NBA’s best bet Wednesday night. The Phoenix Suns bring their 12-4-1 ATS mark (as of Monday) to the Honda Center, coming off a game in Memphis the night before. The Suns have hung tough with the best in the West, covering on the road in Oklahoma City, Denver and San Antonio this year, and enter the week as 8-1 ATS away from home. Phoenix went 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS in its four meetings with Houston last season.

Schedule spot

Some teams see the NFL Thanksgiving games as a burden, throwing a mid-week wrench into a team’s schedule so deep into the season. Others, like the Dallas Cowboys, have learned to cope with the Turkey Day tasks and benefit from them greatly in Week 14 of the season. Since scoring a comeback win over the Raiders last Thursday, the Cowboys will have 10 full days between games before taking the field in Chicago Monday night.

This extended break is huge for Dallas at this point in the season. Not only does the 10-day hiatus act as a mini bye week, giving the coaching staff added time to fine tune its gameplan for Monday, but it also allows the Cowboys to lick their many wounds. Dallas is expected to return top LB Sean Lee from a hamstring injury, and could get CB Morris Claiborne and return weapon Dwayne Harris back as well.

NFL Week 14 opening line report: Should Jaguars be favorites?

Like dating a fat girl or singing along to Taylor Swift, setting the Jacksonville Jaguars as betting favorites is just something you don’t want to get caught doing.

Sportsbooks are avoiding that pitfall by tabbing the red-hot Jaguars as 2.5-point home underdogs Thursday, hosting the Houston Texans – perhaps the only NFL team worse than Jacksonville at this point.

However, one Las Vegas oddsmaker isn’t afraid to admit that the Jaguars should probably be home favorites over Houston which, despite a valiant effort versus New England Sunday, hasn’t won a game since Week 2.

“I had Jacksonville as a favorite,” admits Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service, The Sports Club. “We actually did send this game out as a pick’em, but Jacksonville has won three of their last four. Houston may have played well against New England but they’re not winning. Why would you want to bet on them? Jacksonville has nothing to lose. They’re playing very ‘loosey goosey’ right now.”

The Thursday Night Football spread wasn’t the only line Korner and his team of oddsmakers were torn on in Week 14. The Sports Club’s stable of linemakers also duked it out over the opening line for Oakland at New York and the Monday Night Football spread for Dallas at Chicago.

The Raiders opened as big as 2.5-point road underdogs in New York Sunday afternoon.

“I was the only one who favored Oakland,” says Korner, whose service sent out a suggested opening line of a pick’em. “For three games the Jets have had zero offense and now they’re pulling out quarterbacks and the fans are booing. Oakland is playing well. They aren’t getting blown out and regardless of whether (Matt) McGloin or (Terrellle) Pryor is playing, they’re the better team. I don’t see any momentum that would have money slammed down on the Jets.”

As for the Monday nighter, Korner says it may not matter – at least from a linemaking standpoint – if Bears starting QB Jay Cutler returns from an ankle injury or if backup Josh McCown continues to take snaps against Dallas in Week 14. The Sports Club settled on a suggested spread of Cowboys -2.5 and most books are waiting to hear more on Cutler’s status.

“I don’t think there’s much of a difference. Talent wise there is between Cutler and McCown, but I don’t think (Cutler being active) will cause a huge rush to the windows,” says Korner. “We like the way Dallas is playing right now, going 5-2 in their last seven. They’re playing with a lot of momentum. Cutler in or not, Dallas is the better team and we’d much rather be rooting for them Monday night.”

Kansas City Chiefs at Washington Redskins (+3, 46)

The shine is off the Chiefs, who have dropped three in a row and find themselves as mere field-goal favorites visiting the lowly Redskins in Week 14.

“They’ve lost their luster,” Korner says of the Chiefs’ skid. “They’re back to where they’re supposed to be. This isn’t an all-time great team, especially with Alex Smith at quarterback. He has a track record of trailing off and Kansas City is starting to trail off. But Kansas City is the stronger team. Washington has looked pitiful and (Robert) Griffin is playing hurt and he’s… well let’s just say this ain’t last year.”

Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles (-2.5, 54.5)

Korner says this line is almost a mirror image of the Cardinals-Eagles line from this past Sunday. Arizona may have had the better defense, but Detroit has the better offense this time around, making the process very similar for the oddsmakers.

“It’s basically the same game,” he says. “It should be a close game and the line is pretty much home field. Of course, the total is much higher.”

“We opened 52 and thought about going higher, but now we’re getting into the weather and it looks like it will be cold with possible storms hitting that part of the country," notes Korner.

The Sports Club sent out a suggested opening total of 52 points, however, books opened as large as 54.5 points. The forecast for Philadelphia is calling for temperatures in the mid 30s and a chance of snow.

NFL line watch: Titans backers should act fast

Spread to bet now

Tennessee Titans (+13.5) at Denver Broncos

If you like the Titans to keep this one close, then I'd recommend jumping on this line as fast as possible. While you can still get a 13.5 at 5Dimes as of printing, for the most part 12 is the predominating number across the board. It's likely to drop even lower.

Tennessee is coming off a hard-fought 22-14 loss in Indianapolis last week and catches a somewhat complacent home side coming off its second victory of the season over division rival Kansas City. As good as Denver is, there is no question that this sets up as a natural "letdown/trap" game for the Broncos, with a contest vs. division rival San Diego next week.

While the Titans have struggled for bettors at home this year, they've been a non-stop profit buffet on the road all season, going a near-perfect 5-1 ATS so far. Expect this line to continue to drop as the week wares on.

Spread to wait on

St. Louis Rams (+6) at Arizona Cardinals

Divisional contests at this time of year are always important. If you think the Rams can bounce back from their 23-13 setback at San Francisco last week and hand the Cardinals a second-straight loss, I'd recommend waiting a bit closer to kick-off before getting involved with this one.

This line opened at 6 and while that is pretty much the predominating number across the board as of printing, there is a 6.5 (Pinnacle) and even a 7 (5Dimes) available right now as well. I think this number could go even higher. Bettors are jumping on Arizona as it looks to bounce back from its first loss in four games and to avenge a 27-24 setback in St. Louis in Week 1.

With two straight on the road, including a game in Seattle on December 22nd, this contest takes on added importance for the home side. Expect this line to continue to climb as we get closer to kickoff.

Total to watch

Tennessee Titans at Denver Broncos (50.5)

Once again we look to the Denver Broncos for this week's total to watch. Denver has seen the total go 10-2 this year, 5-1 at home and 5-1 on the road.

As mentioned above, the Broncos most recently beat the Chiefs for a second time in the last three weeks, a 35-28 barn-burner, the total sailing above the posted number of 49.5 in that one.This total opened at 50.5, but is already starting to drop, with 50's and even a 49.5 on the board as of printing (5Dimes).

Tennessee has seen the total go 2-3-1 on the road so far this year. If you're planning no playing the "under", consider getting involved as soon as possible.

Capping the calendar: December's best/worst NFL bets

And down the stretch they come.

With December upon us, the 2013 NFL season heads in to the final quarter of the season and with it our final take on monthly teams trends.

Please note that all trends are ATS (Against The Spread) unless noted otherwise. Enjoy…

HOME TEAMS

• Good: Whether Seattle had a good team or a not so good team, they always are tough to beat at home. This is true in December as well at 31-15 ATS. Besides the big Monday night battle with New Orleans, their final two games of the season are at Century Link Field against Arizona and St. Louis.

• Keep an eye on (Good): Aaron Rodgers is expected to return and Green Bay head coach Mike McCarthy has stated his team needs a 4-0 finish to have a shot at the playoffs. At home this month, the Packers are 30-16 ATS and Atlanta along with Pittsburgh will visit, giving them two shots at covers.

• Keep an eye on (Bad): Large group to keep an eye on here. St. Louis is 16-26 ATS and will have NFC South teams New Orleans and Tampa Bay in weeks 15-16.

The New York Jets slate of Miami, Oakland and Cleveland is not necessarily foreboding, but the offense is sure to have coal left in the stocking of the quarterback position. Gang Green is 16-30 ATS in New Jersey.

New Orleans is 18-32 ATS at home and at least part of this in recent years is they have wrapped up the division late in the season and are playing backups. Before Drew Brees and Sean Payton, they just stunk.

Oakland has been a play against home team no matter the month for years and facing Kansas City and Denver is not likely to improve their chances.

AWAY TEAMS

• Good: The hottest team in the NFL, Carolina, has been road warriors for years and is a sensational 24-12 ATS in the final month of the year. The Panthers have a HUGE game at New Orleans on Dec. 8 and end the season at hapless Atlanta.

• Bad: This flies under the radar unless you are sharp handicapper or a Bears fan. Chicago is Grinch-like 11-32 ATS in road games, stealing money from its followers and makes trips to Cleveland and Philadelphia in consecutive weeks. Wonder what those in Whoville will be thinking?

Before Jim Harbaugh arrived, San Francisco was ripe play against material late in the season, accounting for their 16-32 ATS figure. They will go to Tampa Bay and Arizona to improve that number.

• Keep an eye on (Bad): Like cold weather in the Midwest and East this time of year, Dallas struggling on the road fits the season. The Cowboys are 19-32 ATS away and will be in the Windy City for a Monday night affair and at the hated Redskins just before Christmas, trying to win a division title.

FAVORITES

• Bad: The weather might be nice in South Florida, but the Miami Dolphins are scarier than room full of Santa Clauses when doling out points. The Fins are a miserable 20-41 ATS as favs. Two contests to possibly be careful of the Dolphins are Week 16 at Buffalo and the season finale versus the Jets.

• Keep an eye on (Good): Green Bay is a fantastic 44-23 in December and if Rodgers stays healthy, they will be favored in their two home games. But with how unsightly the defense has become, little chance they will be a favorite at Dallas or Chicago.

• Keep an eye on (Bad): We won’t know for sure, but Dallas could be favored as many as three times this month and conceivably four if the public likes them against the Bears. At 18-33 ATS, it might be wise to find another team to consider for this role. Note: Tony Romo is 4-14 ATS as a favorite during December in his NFL career.

The New York Jets will be handing out points to Oakland and Cleveland, but with their quarterback situation and a 14-26 ATS mark, this might be harder to swallow than Aunt Margaret’s fruitcake.

UNDERDOGS

• Good: With Carolina being such a good wager on the road, naturally they would be a Play On underdog. However, with this year’s team, fewer opportunities will be available and just the Dec. 8th matchup at New Orleans should place them in this role.

Besides Carolina, Seattle also fits the bill and they are 39-19 ATS on the receiving end of digits and they might see only one or two points at San Francisco on the second Sunday of the month.

• Bad: With how bad the Chicago Bears defense is in 2013, they should be a frequent underdog in December and could well add onto an abysmal 16-34 ATS mark.

• Keep an eye on (Good): New England is 21-11 ATS in the underdog role and only a trip Baltimore could place them in that position this month.

The New York Giants are notorious closers and are a sparkling 31-18 ATS as a pooch. This year’s team lacks the same qualities of more recent vintage and they might be hard-pressed to match previous levels at San Diego, vs. Seattle and at Detroit in the middle games of the month.

• Keep an eye on (Bad): St. Louis in November showed signs of improvement, but with three division road games and hosting New Orleans, hard to imagine they will improve as underdogs at 19-33 ATS.

DIVISION

• Good: No team in any month can match Carolina’s 23-8 ATS record versus division opponents and they will have four shots against their rivals to close 2013.

New England is also very good at 28-14 ATS, being the dominant team for more than a decade in the AFC East. The Patriots will be at Miami on the 15th and host Buffalo in the final game of the season.

• Keep an eye on (Bad): Starting the month as part of a large group of 5-6 teams with a chance to be a wild card club, Miami will play in division four times and with how the Jets and Buffalo are playing, the Dolphins could make a move. They will have to overcome the ghosts of December past with a 16-31 ATS mark.

Snow and rain to dampen this weekend's football schedule

NFL and college football bettors beware, there is a high probability of messy conditions this weekend, including snow and rain. So when it comes to handicapping the games this week make sure to keep an eye out on the elements in several cities.

In this weekend's the NFL action, there is a 50 percent, or greater, chance of snow in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington when the Ravens, Eagles and Redskins face the Vikings, Lions and Chiefs respectively. In Cincinnati there is a 35 percent chance of snow when the Colts come to town.

A few cities in warmer climates may also not be able to escape the precipitation this weekend. There is a 16 percent chance of rain in Tampa Bay when the Bills take on the Buccaneers and there will be a 23 percent chance of rain when the Giants travel to San Diego to battle the Chargers.

In college action:

There will be a 43 percent chance of rain for the ACC title game when Duke takes on Florida State.

In two huge Big 12 matchups this weekend, three teams will battle each other and the weather for the conference championship. Texas travels to Waco to face Baylor where there is a 32 percent chance of freezing rain and Oklahoma will clash with Oklahoma State where there is a 10 percent chance of snow.

In the AAC, Louisville plays at Cincinnati where there is a 60 percent chance of rain and UCF travels to Southern Methodist where there is a 31 percent chance of freezing rain.

And there is a 40 percent chance of rain in Houston when Marshall battles Rice for the C-USA title.

ACC/Big Ten Challenge betting cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Illinois Fighting Illini at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (+1)

Rayvonte Rice sat out last season after transferring from Drake to Illinois, but the junior guard has made up for lost time in sparking the Illini to a 7-0 start. Rice averaged 16.1 points two years ago for Drake, and has led the Illini in scoring four times in seven games. The Illini have been tough when the opposition shoots from long-range, ranking 11th nationally in 3-point defense at 34.9 percent.

Georgia Tech returns home after a pair of disappointing losses to Mississippi and St. John’s in the Barclays Center Classic, in which the Yellow Jackets were unable to put two good halves together. Solomon Poole came off the bench to score 24 points in the loss to Mississippi, but no other Yellow Jackets’ player scored more than 11 points in either of Georgia Tech’s two defeats this weekend.

TRENDS:

* Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last four vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Over is 7-0 in Yellow Jackets last seven vs. Big Ten.
* Yellow Jackets are 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. Big Ten.

Indiana Hoosiers at Syracuse Orange (-6)

Indiana entered the 2013 NCAA Tournament as an offensive juggernaut capable of winning it all, but Syracuse’s 2-3 zone proved to be too much for the top overall seed to overcome. The Hoosiers are much younger this time around, but rebounded from their only loss of the season with last Tuesday’s rout of Evansville. This game will mark the first time these teams have played on a campus site in six all-time meetings. The Hoosiers lead the nation in rebound margin at plus-18 and are fifth in field-goal percentage defense (35.1).

The Orange improved to 9-0 all-time in Maui, thanks in large part to tournament MVP C.J. Fair, who scored 24 points in the title game. Tyler Ennis averaged 17 points, six assists and four steals while committing only two turnovers during the event. Syracuse has started no worse than 9-0 over the previous five seasons and is 4-1 all-time against Indiana.

TRENDS:

* Over is 3-0-1 in Orange last four overall.
* Hoosiers are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games.
* Orange are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Penn State Nittany Lions at Pittsburgh Panthers (-14)

Penn State guard D.J. Newbill hasn’t scored less than 15 points in a game this season and is 20-for-32 from the field in the last two games, including 6-for-11 from 3-point range. The loss to Mississippi in Saturday's championship game at the Barclays Center Classic ended a five-game winning streak for the Nittany Lions, their longest in five years. Penn State began the week with the third-fewest turnovers in Division I, giving the ball away just under nine times a game.

Pittsburgh’s go-to guy is Lamar Patterson, who is coming off the best week of his five-year career after averaging 21.7 points and shooting 56.8 percent from the floor in three games. Patterson needs 86 points, 53 rebounds and 89 assists to become the third player in Pittsburgh history to record 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists in a career.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Nittany Lions are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Panthers are 0-4 ATS in their last four vs. Big Ten.

Michigan Wolverines at Duke Blue Devils (-7)

With the Wolverine's leading scorer Nik Stauskas sidelined, Zak Irvin recorded a career-high 24 points against Coppin State and was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week. Michigan is 3-9 all-time in Cameron Indoor Stadium and has not won at the venue since 1996.

Although Duke is 21-8 all-time against the Wolverines, the Blue Devils look to rebound after falling to 0-2 against ranked foes following Friday’s loss to No. 2 Arizona in the NIT Season Tip-Off title game. Jabari Parker, who saw his seven-game streak of scoring 20 points or more snapped with 19 against the Wildcats, became only the second player over the last 10 years (Texas’ Kevin Durant in 2006) to open his college career with such a run.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Blue Devils are 1-4 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
* Over is 13-3 in Wolverines last 16 vs. Atlantic Coast.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Iowa Hawkeyes (-9.5)

Notre Dame gets its first taste of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge with a visit to Carver-Hawkeye Arena to face No. 24 Iowa. One of the keys to Notre Dame's success going forward is the play of junior swingman Pat Connaughton, who has had periods of inactivity this season. Against Army, he took just three shots, but he followed that up with his third career double-double with 18 points and 10 boards against Cornell Sunday.

After playing three games in three days in the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas, then a longer than expected trip home, there's a school of thought that Iowa could be run down for the matchup with Notre Dame. But Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery doesn't see it that way. “These kids are in great shape,” McCaffery told the Iowa City-Press Citizen. “It's something we prepared for. These guys have been through those kinds of trips.”

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in Hawkeyes last five home games.
* Fighting Irish are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Over is 7-1 in Fighting Irish last eight overall.

Florida State Seminoles at Minnesota Golden Gophers (-3)

Florida State has lost two of its last three games, including a heartbreaking 67-66 loss to No. 12 Florida on Nov. 29. Boris Bojanovsky scored a season-high 14 points on 6-of-6 shooting in the loss to Florida. Miller leads the team in average minutes (28.7), points per game (15.1), free throw percentage (94.3) and total assists (24).

The Golden Gophers bounced back from two consecutive defeats in the Maui Invitational tournament with an 83-68 victory over Chaminade to secure seventh place in the competition. Minnesota will be back in the friendly confines of Williams Arena and hopes to make it two straight wins over the Seminoles after beating them 77-68 in Tallahassee in the 2012 edition of the challenge.

TRENDS:

* Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games.
* Seminoles are 1-6 ATS in their last seven vs. Big Ten.
* Golden Gophers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six home games.
