Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

NFL trends to ponder, with Week 15 approaching.......

-- Broncos covered 11 of their last 14 home games.

-- Chiefs covered once in last ten games as a divisional favorite.

-- Vikings covered eight of last ten as a home underdog.

-- Carolina covered seven of its last eight home games.

-- Cowboys are 6-18 in their last 24 games as a home favorite.

-- Minnesota covered eight of its last ten as a home underdog.

*****

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

13) Joe Torre gets in Hall of Fame off his 1,173-767 record and four titles managing the Bronx Bombers, so he deserves it, but lets not get confused and call him a great manager. Here are his records with four other teams, where he won three division titles and no pennants in 15 seasons:

-- Mets 286-420-- Not exactly Cooperstown material there.
-- Braves 257-229, Won NL West in 1982.
-- Cardinals 351-354-- No playoff appearances.
-- Dodgers 259-227-- Two division titles in the ill-fated McCourt era.

Torre was also a very good player, a .297 hitter with 252 homers (he hit .363 one year), so he deserves his plaque, but not like he ever turned around a losing program—he just managed a team with enormous financial advantages and led them to four titles. Hall of Fame worthy, but not as tough as making losers into winners, as others have done.

12) Once again, no bowl games between Pac-12-SEC. In 1989, Washington beat Florida 34-7 in the Freedom Bowl in Anaheim; since then, the BCS title game three years ago (Auburn-Oregon) is only bowl matchup between the two leagues. In 24 years. Very strange.

11) How on God’s green earth is Oregon State in a bowl? They’re 6-6, lost to I-AA Eastern Washington, allowed 37.2 ppg while losing their last five games,-- not only do they get a bowl game, they get to go to the Hawai’I Bowl?!?!?! And Western Kentucky sits home? Nice system.

10) First instinct was to whine a little when I read Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson quickly bolted the MAC champs for Wake Forest, but the reality of the situation is this: Not only is this finals week and bowl season, it is recruiting season, from now until February 4. Very important.

So the coach at Wake Forest has to recruit his ass off to make the Deacons relevant; Jim Grobe is a really good coach who couldn’t keep Wake's head above water. Clawson has to recruit, hire a staff and try to revive a program at one of the smallest schools in America playing bigtime football- if he took the job, he had to hit the ground running and so he will. Good luck, it’s a very hard job. If I were him, would’ve tried for the UConn job instead.

9) Damn, must’ve been some serious dysfunction in Seattle last summer, as heads butt over the new school/old school approach to evaluating baseball players. You read some quotes now and people are still carping about the Mariners' front office and what went on last year; they’ve got two big-time stars in King Felix and Cano.

Curious to see who they surround those two with.

8) Rudy Gay makes $18M a year, from everything you read is a really good player, but now he’s been traded twice in 11 months, albeit Toronto traded for him, then changed GMs and the new GM obviously doesn’t think as highly of him.

Memphis/Toronto are two new school teams who are leaning on metrics more than most; must be that Gay doesn’t rate highly under that microscope. All I know is Lionel Hollins went 56-26 in Memphis LY, even after they took a loss on Gay’s trade to Toronto; why hasn’t he gotten another job?

7) NFL moved 8:25 Patriots-Ravens game in Week 16 to a 4:25 game, and put the 1:00 Bears-Eagles game into primetime, so if you have Iggles’ season tickets, buy some TheraFlu, prepare to spend Christmas sneezing.

6) Rams are 5-4 this year when game goes over the total, 0-4 when it stays under; they’ve scored five TDs on defense/special teams in their last three wins. St Louis is +14 in turnovers in their five wins, -7 in eight losses.

5) Buccaneers had weird start to season; they were even in turnovers in each of their first six games. In their last six games, Bucs are +14 in turnovers, which is why they’ve won four of last five and covered five of last six.

4) For fans of irony, look no farther than the Las Vegas Bowl, where USC will play Fresno State, which is Lane Kiffin’s alma mater.

Best yet, I’ll be at this game; excited to see the Trojans in person, having rooted for them since I was a little kid. Trojans will be on their second interim coach of the year; will they be flat without emotional leader Ed Orgeron, who quit as interim coach once Steve Sarkisian got hired?

3) I'm a big believer that pro teams with sub-.500 records shouldn't make the playoffs. For instance the Celtics are 10-13 but lead in NBA's Atlantic Division- to me, they shouldn't qualify for playoffs unless they go at least 41-41. A more deserving team in the other conference should replace them. .

2) Redskins’ team doctor says RGIII is healthy; RGIII says RGIII is healthy. Washington coaches and anyone with a working set of eyes knows that he isn’t nearly as good a player as he was last year, healthy or not. His physical capabilities have obviously diminished.

Can’t they just bench him for cause? Is he giving his team its best chance to win? Very curious to see how he plays next year, more specifically how he runs, after a full winter of rehab.

1) There have been 208 NFL games so far this season: in only three of them has a team not punted for the whole game. Two of those three teams were playing the Cowboys that day.

Football lines that make you go hmmm...

Albert Einstein was no big NFL bettor, but his definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. By that logic, Einstein is getting down on the Indianapolis Colts -6 against the Houston Texans while the gettin’ is good in Week 15.

Sportsbooks continue to give credit to the Texans week after week, despite not wining since Week 2 of the schedule and losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars last Thursday. That primetime spanking cost Houston head coach Gary Kubiak his job, leaving defensive coordinator Wade Phillips at the wheel in the final week of the season.

Houston was a 3-point road favorite in Jacksonville last week, and outside of a valiant effort against the Patriots in Week 13, hasn’t done anything to warrant the respect books continue to give the Texans. They are just 3-10 ATS and are likely looking ahead to the NFL Draft, where a No. 1 overall pick would hand them the QB of their choice.

But for now, Houston rides out the final games of 2013 with Case Keenum as the team’s elected starter and Matt Schaub backing him up. The biggest issue is that Keenum was Kubiak’s guy. The two worked very closely when Schaub went down with a leg injury and the young QB could be rattled without his corner man.

The Colts clinched the AFC South despite losing to Cincinnati Sunday but head coach Chuck Pagano says he won’t rest his players. He’s not happy with their current form – splitting wins and losses in their last six – and told reporters they have plenty to work on before the postseason begins.

NFL

New Orleans Saints at St. Louis Rams (+5.5, 46.5)

The difference in the Saints’ play at home and away is about as glaring as the difference between Tara Reid circa 1999 American Pie and Tara Reid circa 2013 Sharknado: Smoky-voiced blonde bombshell vs. Dog-chewed leather slipper.

However, books have taken this home/away split a little too far in Week 15, setting New Orleans as a 5.5-point favorite in St. Louis.

Football bettors have watched Drew Brees and New Orleans stall on the road in outdoor venues like Seattle, New York, Chicago and Tampa Bay but won’t be battling the elements inside the Edward Jones Dome Sunday.

The Rams defense was keeping the team competitive but has cracked the last two games, allowing 53 points in losses to San Francisco and Arizona. St. Louis’ dreaded pass rush had just one sack on slow-motion QB Carson Palmer this weekend. Brees has been sacked just 26 times all season.

NCAAF

Army Black Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen (-13, 54)

Ah, Army-Navy week. Or as many college football bettors know, that Saturday you put up the Christmas decorations.

The annual armed forces feature is the calm before the bowl season storm, and the bettors that actually give a crap seem to be siding with the Under this Saturday. The total opened as high as 55.5 points and has come down as low as 54, with the last seven Army-Navy games finishing below the number.

While the weather for Philadelphia is calling for cold and rain, that shouldn’t impact these two run-heavy offenses much. In fact, if that rain turns to snow, Army and Navy could repeat Eagles RB LeSean McCoy’s big day in the snow, keeping would-be tacklers slipping and sliding.

Both the Black Knights and Midshipmen have leaned toward the Over in recent contests as well, with Army going 6-2 O/U in its last eight and Navy going 4-2 O/U in its final six games.

Beyond the BCS: Big profits from NCAAF small conferences

Team to watch: Northern Illinois Huskies (12-1 SU, 8-5 ATS)

Poinsettia Bowl: -1 vs. Utah State

The Poinsettia Bowl may not be what Northern Illinois had in mind after playing in the Orange Bowl last season, especially not when it was undefeated going into last Friday’s MAC Championship against Bowling Green. Still, this is the final game for senior QB Jordan Lynch. He will want to impress NFL scouts while also proving his worth for the Heisman Trophy ceremony invitation he received. The Huskies are 5-2 ATS in their last seven overall.

Up next for NIU is Utah State on Dec. 26. The Aggies will still be without Chuckie Keeton, who threw 18 touchdowns compared to only two picks before tearing an ACL and MCL on Oct. 4. Freshman backup Darell Garretson has been mediocre by comparison, with nine TDs and five INTs in seven games.

Garretson is questionable due to a severe concussion in last week’s MWC Championship loss to Fresno State. Utah State is also expected to miss Travis Reynolds (51 catches, 832 yards, four TDs), who suffered a knee injury on Nov. 23.

Team to beware: Boise State Broncos (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS)

Hawaii Bowl: +4 vs. Oregon State

The domino effect of Steve Sarkisian’s move to USC is underway, and the second one to fall came in the form of Boise State head coach Chris Petersen bolting for Washington. Now the Broncos will contest the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24 against Oregon State with interim Bob Gregory at the helm.

Petersen’s long-awaited departure for a BCS program came near the end of a rebuilding year for the Broncos, who have losses to Washington (by 32 points), Fresno State, BYU, and San Diego State. They also have a QB controversy on their hands, as Joe Southwick missed four games with an ankle injury but returned in a Nov. 30 rout of New Mexico to attempt two passes in relief of Grant Hedrick.

Either Southwick or Hedrick may be without receivers Kirby Moore and Shane Williams-Rhodes. Leading tackler Ben Weaver is also questionable due to injury.

Total team: Ball State Cardinals (10-2 SU, 8-4 O/U)

GoDaddy Bowl: (48.5) vs. Arkansas State

Head coach Pete Lembo, thought of as a great offensive mind, has already interviewed with Wake Forest and UConn this month. Andy why not? Lembo’s offense is averaging 40.1 points per game this season, 14th most in the FBS.

How are the Cardinals scoring so much? They are ninth in the FBS in turnover margin (+1.0 per game) and seventh in fewest penalty yards per contest (31.58). On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback Quintin Cooper will likely remain out with the broken leg he sustained on No. 15.

The over is 4-0 in Ball State’s last four overall. Arkansas State, the Jan. 5 GoDaddy Bowl opponent, has scored at least 31 points in four straight games and the over is also 4-0 in its last four overall.

Bowl season's best/worst ATS and Over/Under teams

Best ATS

Auburn Tigers (11-2-0 ATS)

Auburn has been fantastic this year rushing the ball, ranked first overall with 335.7 yards. They are also 11th overall in total yards with 505.3. Auburn covered its first 10 games by a comfortable margin and is an 8.5-point underdog versus Florida State – the other top ATS team in college football - in the BCS title game.

Florida State Seminoles (11-2-0 ATS)

Florida State’s margin of victory is 42.3 points per game - a record in the BCS era. Florida State is ranked second overall in points scored (53) and sixth in total yards with 529.4. Defensively, the Seminoles are first overall in passing yards allowed (152) and points allowed with a measly 10.7.

Worst ATS

Georgia Bulldogs (3-8-1 ATS)

The Bulldogs have gone 2-3-1 ATS at home and 1-5 ATS away. Georgia’s fall from fifth in preseason rankings to out of the polls is in large part to key injuries. Georgia lost QB Aaron Murray to a season-ending knee injury in November. After winning and covering in their first two games, the Bulldogs went 1-1-8 ATS in their final 10 games. Georgia is a 9-point favorite versus Nebraska in the Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights (4-8 ATS)

The Scarlet Knights have gone 0-2-0 ATS in games played on grass (UCF and Connecticut) and have failed to cover both 20-plus point spreads with their offense struggling to run the ball. Defensively, the Knights are ranked fourth in rushing yards allowed (94.6) but struggle against the pass, sitting 122nd and allowing 311.4 yards per game. Rutgers is a 15.5-point underdog taking on Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 28.

Best Over

Florida State Seminoles (10-3 O/U)

The Seminoles have the most points for and the second-lowest points against in the country. Quarterback Jameis Winston ranks second with the most touchdown passes (38) and has the league’s highest yards per pass attempt at 10.9. Florida State is on pace to score more points than any team in the history of college football needing only 28 more to snap the 2008 Oklahoma State Cowboys’ record of 716 points. The total for the BCS Championship is at 66 points.

Georgia Bulldogs (9-3 O/U)

Georgia has an offense scoring points (458) and a defense giving them up (353). Offensively, the Bulldogs are ranked 17th in total yards (489.8) and 16th in total passing yards with 313.8. Their defense is allowing 29.4 points good for 82nd and 232.8 passing yards. Georgia has faced nine totals of 60 or more points and has topped the number in seven of those games.

Best Under

Louisville Cardinals (3-9 O/U)

The Cardinals defense has been fantastic in preventing opponents from scoring. They’re ranked second overall in total yards allowed with 258.2. They are eighth in passing yards allowed (171.7), second in rushing yards allowed (86.5) and third in total points allowed with 12.4 a game. Louisville takes on Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl on December 28.

Bowling Green Falcons (4-9 O/U)

The Falcons are ranked in the Top 10 defensively in three categories: eighth in total yards allowed (308.7), fourth in passing yards allowed with 166.2, and fifth in points allowed (14.8). The Falcons are also in the Top 25 in holding their opponents to a 34.4 percent completion rate on third downs. Bowling Green meets Pittsburgh in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl on December 26.

How to handicap college football bowl season like a pro

Handicapping a bowl game is, in many ways, the same as any other college football game. The team that scores the most points still wins, coaching and matchups matter, controlling the tempo can lead to wins, and so on.

In a few key ways, though, betting bowl games is a whole different animal. Here are three big ways the postseason games present unique challenges bettors have to compensate for:

Coaching changes

In a perfect world, no coaching changes would be made until the end of bowl season. That’s obviously not the case, though.

Handicappers need to be particularly aware of teams that have lost their head coaches. Few teams will fire their coach before a bowl game, but strong coaches frequently move on to their next job before their current team plays in a bowl.

Most often those coaches don’t coach their old team in the bowl because they need to get started on recruiting for their new team. You need to be aware of who the interim coach is, whether a permanent replacement has been named yet, and what impact that is has on the players and their preparation.

It’s not just head coaches that are a factor, either. Rutgers, for example, doesn’t play in the Pinstripe Bowl against Notre Dame until December 28, but the dust had barely settled on the regular season before they fired three assistants. That will have a clear impact on their bowl preparation.

A hot assistant, that is sure to be in demand at other programs, will face all sorts of distractions heading into his bowl game. Michigan State defensive coordinator is charged with getting his nation-leading unit ready for Stanford and the Rose Bowl, but he’s also heavily in demand as a head coach. Will he be at his best, or will he be focusing at least somewhat on what comes next?

Players coming and going

In the month between the regular season and a bowl game, a whole lot can happen to players. Grades come out at most schools, so the prospect of academic-related suspensions is high and can have a big impact on bowl games. It’s crucial to understand who is available and which players may miss a quarter or the whole game.

The extra month to heal can make missing players available again. Nebraska, for example, could go into their Gator Bowl date with Georgia with senior QB Taylor Martinez back at the helm after his long injury absence. The roster that appeared in the final regular season game isn’t necessarily the one we will see here.

Even if players are at the game, their heads may not be. If it has become very likely that a player will leave school early after the bowl to go pro, then they quite possibly can be distracted by what comes next and won’t perform at their best in the bowl.

Location, location, location

While every game is theoretically on a neutral field, bettors need to consider which locations give one team a clear edge.

Maryland will have an edge at the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Maryland. Cincinnati fans will be outnumbered by Tar Heels at the Belk Bowl in Charlotte. Longhorns fans have far fewer travel headaches to get to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl than Oregon fans do. North Texas, which plays in a suburb of Dallas, will have much more fan support in the Heart of Dallas Bowl than UNLV will.

That doesn’t mean, of course, that the virtual home team will win. Handicapping is never that easy. In a tight call, though, location could be the deciding factor for a bettor.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Wednesday, December 11

Penn State is 4-0 vs teams ranked outside top 200, winning all four by 12+ points; home teams won their last three games with Duquesne, as Lions lost 66-59 in last visit here two years ago.
