Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Titans hired Ken Whisenhunt as coach, an excellent move. Everyone had him going to the Lions. Tennessee only interviewed four candidates.

-- 122 current NBA players at one time played in the D-League.

-- Timberwolves are 4-14 vs teams with winning records, 14-5 vs all the other teams in the league.

-- Johnny Manziel signed with Lebron James' agents, so expect to see him in a few commercials coming up......

-- Bronx Bombers designated Vernon Wells for assignment, which means he could be making $20M+ this season.......for playing in AAA.

-- James Franklin has already poached two Vanderbilt recruits, and offered scholarships to six more as he heads off to Penn State. Vandy was going to have a top 25 recruiting class had Franklin stayed. Now? Not so much.

*****

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

13) Confidence is essential in being successful at anything; look at golfer Jimmy Walker. He goes winless for seven years on the PGA Tour, total of 197 tournaments, then wins two of his next six. Why?

Because now he believes he can win. He always had the talent, just needed that little nudge that told him he is good enough.

12) Bad news as expected for Colorado basketball: Spencer Dinwiddie is out for the year with a torn ACL. He was their best player- big loss.

11) Duke 69, Virginia 65-- Blue Devils were up 11 with 4:10 left, Virginia went up by a point, but Duke got a great bounce on a 3-ball from the corner and escaped with a win. You get the feeling, though that something is amiss with Duke- very little defensive presence inside.

10) Dunkin’ Donuts is expanding into California; does that mean In ‘n Out Burger or Jack in the Box might come east? Jack/Box has 24-hour breakfast—darned tasty.

9) Vin Scully doesn't have a Hall of Fame vote; how is that possible?

8) Cleveland Browns paid deposed coach Rob Chudzinski $10.5M to go away, that’s million, with an M. Wish someone would pay me to go away.

7) Irony Department: Peyton Manning’s first NFL playoff win was in 2003, 41-10 over…..the Broncos.

6) College/pro teams sometimes use search firms to find a new coach, which is total BS. What the hell is a GM/AD doing if he needs a firm to find a coach for him? These firms get 20-30% of the new coach’s first-year salary, which is a significant amount of money.

Sometimes its payola; the search firm puts the AD/GM in his job, then that exec uses the same firm to fill coaching vacancies, paying back the agency for getting him his job. No way in hell an NFL exec should use a search firm, it says you can’t do the job yourself.

5) Broncos-Patriots Sunday is only second time in last nine years the #1-2 seeds have met in AFC title game, and only fifth time in last nine years NFL-wide (out of 18 games).

4) Lions lost out on hiring Ken Whisenhunt; this is a franchise that in the 47 years of the Super Bowl era, has a playoff record of 1-10. One playoff win in 47 years, plus they once let Matt Millen run their franchise. Oy.

3) ESPN analyst/Duke alum Jay Williams ripped Maryland coach Mark Turgeon on–air Sunday night, as the Terps were getting drubbed by Florida State. He basically said Terps play too tight because Turgeon takes guys out after they make mistakes; does Williams think Coach K is a highly tolerant leader who laughs off his players' miscues?

Unusual for an analyst to go after a coach like that; not sure if its because Maryland is bolting the ACC, but I’m sure it hit some exposed nerves in Maryland, especially coming from a Duke alum.

2) One of the great stories is from former LSU QB Rohan Davey, who also was a backup for the Patriots for a while.

He said that when the Tigers came out of the tunnel to start a Saturday night game in Baton Rouge, “…you could smell the bourbon in the air.”

Nick Saban paraphrased that story in speech to football coaches Monday. If you’ve never seen an SEC game in person, it really is quite an experience- if you love college football or a good party or both, I highly recommend it.

1) Two QBs in AFC title game are making a combined $52M this season; two QBs in NFC title game are making a combined $1,266,000. Yikes.

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

Letdown spot

Memphis beat Oklahoma City in a playoff series last season, but the Thunder beat the Grizzlies 116-100 earlier this year. The Grizzlies will be looking to avenge that home loss Tuesday night. If Memphis is successful in doing so, then its game the very next night in Milwaukee will be a difficult spot.

That game against the Bucks also precedes a return home where the Grizzlies play a pair of games on their home court. Memphis has come on strong recently, going 7-4 SU and 9-2 ATS over its last 11 games. The Grizzlies’ four losses have come by eight, four, three, and two points.

Lookahead spot

The Los Angeles Clippers have a pair of back-to-back games on the East Coast this week - the first two stops of a seven-game road trip. The Clippers will play in New York against the Knicks Friday night, and then against the Pacers in Indiana Saturday. They beat the Knicks easily earlier this season, so that’s not the game they have their eyes on.

Indiana beat the Clippers in Los Angeles 105-100 back on December 1. The Pacers controlled that game, leading by as many as 14 points while the Clippers only lead was by a single point. Los Angeles will be looking to atone for that home loss to Indiana, so it may lack focus the night before in New York.

Schedule spot

The Miami Heat will be a focused team on Wednesday when they play the Wizards in Washington, D.C. The Heat will be going into that game off four full days of rest, while the Wizards will be playing their fourth game in six nights.

Miami will also be playing off back-to-back road losses at New York (102-92) and at Brooklyn in double overtime (104-95). Miami is starting a four-game road trip with this game, so it will be important for it to start off with a win. Washington lost 103-93 in Miami back on November 3.

Letdown spot

The Edmonton Oilers pulled off a shocking win over the Pittsburgh Penguins Friday night and then packed their bags for a trip to Chicago to face the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks two nights later.

This isn't a classic letdown spot, as the Oilers will have had a full day off to regroup, but I'm thinking we'll see a less-than-inspired effort from the young Oilers as they head to Dallas to counter the Stars Tuesday night. Road wins haven't come easy for the Oilers and I suspect they'll be in tough against a sneaky-good opponent in this spot.

Lookeahead spot

Calgary is reeling right now and things won't get any easier Monday night as the Flames face the surging Hurricanes in Carolina. A better opportunity for Calgary to snap its losing streak awaits Tuesday, when it makes a stop in Nashville to take on the struggling Predators.

A trip to Carolina doesn't serve as a strong motivational spot for Western Conference squads at the best of times. While the Flames should be getting up for every game out of sheer desperation, they might just be a no-show in this non-conference tilt Monday.

Schedule spot

This isn't going to be an easy week for the New Jersey Devils. After defeating the Panthers in Florida Saturday, they traveled to Toronto to face the Leafs in a quick turnaround Sunday. After that it's on to Montreal for a date with the Habs Tuesday.

That's where things get dicey. New Jersey will make the long trek to Colorado on only one day of rest (if you can call it that) before wrapping up their whirlwind road trip with a stop in Phoenix Saturday. Don't count on a peak performance from the Devils in the desert. For its part, Phoenix will have been home since Wednesday, before it opens a three-game homestand against Vancouver one night later.

Wisconsin at Indiana: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wisconsin Badgers at Indiana Hoosiers (OFF)

Third-ranked Wisconsin puts its unbeaten record on the line when it attempts to defeat host Indiana for the 13th consecutive time Tuesday. The Badgers are off to the best start in school history and are one of three Big Ten teams to avoid a conference loss in the early part of the league schedule. The Hoosiers had to rally to defeat Penn State on Saturday to prevent opening Big Ten play with three straight defeats.

Indiana lost twice to Wisconsin last season – once in the regular season and again in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament. The Hoosiers are in transition mode after losing four senior starters off last season’s powerhouse team and will need a superb performance to knock off the Badgers, who can tie the program record for consecutive wins (2006-07) and are coming off last Saturday's dominating victory over Illinois. “I’m certainly proud of them,” coach Bo Ryan said. “But you start thinking about that too much and it can go the other way in a hurry.”

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE: The line and the total are currently off the board.

ABOUT WISCONSIN (16-0, 11-5 ATS): Freshman forward Nigel Hayes is emerging as a potent force off the bench, averaging 13 points over the past five games. Hayes is averaging 6.8 points and shooting 52.3 percent from the field but he’s refusing to let the praise over his performance or that of the team go to his head. “There was a quote we were talking about – a John Wooden quote – of ‘Don’t get caught up in the praise or criticism,’” Hayes said after the win over Illinois. “So that is what we are trying to do right now. Don’t get too high on ourselves.”

ABOUT INDIANA (11-5, 7-7-1 ATS): Little-used Austin Etherington was the hero against Penn State after he drained the go-ahead 3-pointer from the corner with 1:22 to play. The basket was only the fifth of the season for the sophomore forward averaging 1.9 points per game and Crean hopes it is the kind of moment that will propel Etherington’s confidence level skyward. “The fact that he went in and his confidence grew like it did to the point where he could knock down that shot in the corner was huge,” Crean said. “He grew up a lot and this week in the sense of he was on the court in really crucial situations.”

TRENDS:

* Wisconsin is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings in Indiana.
* Wisconsin is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Indiana.
* Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.

TIP-INS:

1. Indiana’s last victory over Wisconsin came on Jan. 31, 2007 when the Badgers were ranked second in the nation.

2. The Badgers committed just four turnovers against Illinois and lead the nation in fewest per game at 8.2.

3. The Hoosiers have made 20 or more free throws in four of their last five games.

Kentucky at Arkansas: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kentucky Wildcats at Arkansas Razorbacks (OFF)

Kentucky’s latest group of fabulous freshmen seems to be coming together on the defensive end in four straight wins. The 16th-ranked Wildcats will try to make it five in a row when they play the second of back-to-back road games at Arkansas on Tuesday. Kentucky held its first two Southeastern Conference foes to an average of 62.5 points, helping to make up for some issues on the other end of the floor.

The Razorbacks dropped their first two in SEC play but proved they could break through a strong defense and hang with a ranked team in an 84-82 overtime loss to Florida on Saturday. Arkansas is especially potent offensively in its own building, where it is putting up an average of 94.3 points in the last four games. The Wildcats are second in the SEC in scoring offense behind the Razorbacks but have a big advantage on the inside with Julius Randle.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE: The line and total are currently off the board.

ABOUT KENTUCKY (12-3, 6-5-2 ATS): The Wildcats lead the SEC in rebounding offense thanks in large part to Randle, who averages a double-double at 16.7 points and 10.9 rebounds. The freshman forward failed to reach double figures in scoring in either of the first two SEC games but averaged 12.5 rebounds despite constant attention from the opposition. “You have to understand, he’s in a dogfight.” coach John Calipari told reporters of Randle. “I think right now that he’s the only college player that when he catches the ball, he’s got three guys on him.”

ABOUT ARKANSAS (11-4, 7-5 ATS): The Razorbacks have their own freshman starting forward in Bobby Portis, who will likely combine with Coty Clarke to handle the defense on Randle. Arkansas will not be afraid to run with the Wildcats and let a trio of starting guards lead the offense. Rashad Madden scored a career-best 23 points against Florida on Saturday but sits third on the team in scoring (11.2) behind fellow guard Michael Qualls (12.7 points) and Portis (12.5) in a balanced attack. The Razorbacks lead the SEC in assists (16.7) despite not having a single player average more than Clarke’s 2.2.

TRENDS:

* Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Arkansas.
* Kentucky is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.

TIP-INS:

1. Qualls is just 6-for-33 from the field over the last three games.

2. The Wildcats lost at Arkansas 73-60 last season as Clarke went for 14 points and 12 boards.

3. The Razorbacks lead the SEC with a plus-6.33 turnover margin.
