Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Why do offensive linemen run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine? When do offensive linemen run 40 yards in a game?

-- Rams' owner Stan Kroenke owns 740,000 acres of land, 10th most of anyone in the country; he is the 2nd-wealthiest NFL owner.

-- The first KFC opened back in 1952. In Salt Lake City.

-- Barry Bonds is a hitting instructor in Giants' spring training; curious to see how that works out.

-- Dan Marino/Shannon Sharpe are off CBS' NFL pregame show next fall; they had too many voices on set. Sometimes less is more.

-- Sergio Garcia conceded a 17-foot putt on Friday, then missed couple of 5-footers later on that would've beaten Ricky Fowler. Something tells me Sergio had somewhere else to be Saturday and Sunday.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday....

13) Duke 66, Syracuse 60-- Coaches preach poise to their players; well, coaches need to have poise too. When a bad call goes against you in a 60-58 game with 0:10 left, you don't have a childish meltdown and get thrown out of a game your kids still had a chance to win.

Syracuse played one true road game before New Year's and that was in New York City, where they have a ton of fans. Maybe if Orange played a road game now and then in pre-conference, they'd have more poise now.

12) Boise State 91, UNLV 90 ot-- Refs used replay to change a call, negating a Rebel basket at the buzzer. i watched the replay five times and could not tell which call was right. In that case, the call on the floor (good basket) is supposed to stand. It helps to be at home, I guess.

When UNLV coach Dave Rice was informed his team lost (got hosed), he did not act like a 4-year old who didn't get his ice cream. Classy guy.

11) Oklahoma State 84, Texas Tech 62-- Marcus Smart had 16 points, 10 rebounds as he returned from suspension and helped Cowboys end their skid at seven games. Bracketologists still have them in the field of 68.

10) Louisville 58, Cincinnati 57-- Russ Smith hit a jumper with 0:02.2 left to win this tense struggle, avenging an earlier home loss to the Bearcats. This was a lot like a tournament game.

9) Kentucky 77, LSU 76 ot-- Terrific game; LSU lost in part because their best player Johnny O'Bryant got really tired at the end-- he was 8-25 from the floor. Tigers are banged up, don't have much depth. Kentucky was 1-9 on the arc, still won, avenging an earlier loss in Baton Rouge.

8) Georgia State 80, UL-Lafayette 77-- Ragin' Cajuns had won six games in a row; they led by nine in second half, but 20-7 Georgia State had a 21-0 run to pull out their 20th win of the year. Sun Belt tourney is going to be good.

7) Wisconsin 79, Iowa 74-- Badgers started season 16-0, then lost five of six games, now has won five in a row. Even the good teans are fragile.

6) Florida 75, Ole Miss 71-- Marshall Henderson had 22 points in first half, zero in second half. Florida is now 14-0 in the SEC.

5) Ohio State 64, Minnesota 46-- Gophers were up 28-18 at half, then the second half happened. ESPN's Joe Lunardi had Minnesota as an 11-seed in NCAAs before this game- they're 4-8 in their last dozen games- their next two games are Iowa/Michigan. Good luck.

4) Miami 69, Boston College 42-- Eagles followed up win at Syracuse by getting bludgeoned by the 14-13 Hurricanes, who had lost six of previous eight games coming in. BC has to hire Bruce Pearl this spring.

3) New Mexico 58, San Diego State 44-- Lobos had huge week, winning big at UNLV, then dismissing Aztecs here. Teams meet again at Viejas March 8, and will probably play the next week in Vegas at the conference tourney.

2) Biggest upset of the day: Rhode Island 87 (+11) , St Bonaventure 78-- Rams snapped a 6-game losing streak with road win here.

1) Bad beat of the day: Syracuse (+6). Game ended in a push, but a lousy call nullified the tying hoop for Orange, then Boeheim went postal, got two technicals and Syracuse backers went fortunate to get the push.

I mean, you had a dog getting six points down 2 with the ball with 0:12 left, the game didn't go OT and you didn't win. Doesn't happen much.

Four NASCAR betting angles to follow for the Daytona 500

It’s a whole new season for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, kicking off with the running of the Daytona 500 - NASCAR’s biggest race - Sunday.

The "Great American Race" is the heaviest-bet event of the NASCAR schedule, so oddsmakers make sure their odds and numbers are as finely tuned as the cars tearing up the course at Daytona International Speedway. And like any successful driver, you need a good crew chief in your ear, keeping you on the right track.

NASCAR expert Greg Engle has four betting angles that could put you in the fast lane to profits at the Daytona 500:

Meet your maker

Ford and Chevy have won the last five Daytona 500 races with Ford taking three and Chevy taking two. Toyota has only one Sprint Cup points paying win at Daytona, that coming in the 2008 July race. Denny Hamlin did win the Sprint Unlimited in a Toyota last Saturday but thanks to a spate of crashes, only seven cars were running at the end.

Pass on the pole

One of the big stories is young rookie Austin Dillon winning the pole. The Richard Childress Racing driver was fast in the practices leading up to qualifying and Sunday he and the other Richard Childress drivers, Paul Menard and Ryan Newman should be near the front Sunday. Newman is a former Daytona 500 winner (2008) and Menard won the Brickyard 400 last season, another of NASCAR’s big races.

Starting up front doesn’t guarantee at win at Daytona. Nine of the 55 Daytona 500 races (16.3%) have been won from the pole. The last to do so was Dale Jarrett in 2000. Jeff Gordon is the only active driver to accomplish the feat (1999). Here’s a breakdown for the rest of the field and where past winners started from:

• 16 of the 55 Daytona 500s (29.0 percent) have been won from the front row.
• 27 of the 55 Daytona 500s (49.0 percent) have been won from a Top-5 starting position.
• 40 of the 55 Daytona 500s (72.7 percent) have been won from a Top-10 starting position.

Run with the ratings

One of the most important stats for bettors is driver rating. These ratings are put together by NASCAR and use a combination of laps led, wins and highest finishes. The higher the rating, the stronger that driver is and the better chance you’ll see them in Victory Lane. Here are the Top 10 driver ratings for Daytona (ratings are for all Daytona races from 2005-2013).

Kyle Busch 96.9
Tony Stewart 93.0
Matt Kenseth 92.6
Dale Earnhardt Jr. 89.7
Kurt Busch 88.8
Jimmie Johnson 88.4
Jeff Gordon 87.2
Clint Bowyer 86.2
Denny Hamlin 83.7
Kasey Kahne 82.4

No ordinary Joe

After Thursday night’s Budweiser Duel qualifying races, it’s obvious that Joe Gibbs Racing will be a team to keep an eye on. Denny Hamlin won last Saturday night’s Sprint Unlimited and the second Duel race Thursday night. His teammate, Matt Kenseth, led 31 of the 60 laps in route to victory in the first Duel race.

Game of the Day: Michigan State at Michigan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michigan State Spartans at Michigan Wolverines (-2.5)

The race for first place in the Big Ten takes center stage Sunday when Michigan hosts rival Michigan State in one of the most anticipated of the 173 meetings between the teams. Both teams have exchanged wins and losses since the Wolverines picked up an 80-75 win at the Spartans on Jan. 25 to assume to the top spot in the conference at the time. No. 20 Michigan's see-saw ride continued with a 75-62 loss to Wisconsin on Sunday, as Caris LeVert tallied a career-high 25 points but received little support in the Wolverines' lowest-scoring effort at home since a 58-57 win over Michigan State last March.

The 14th-ranked Spartans have not won consecutive games since losing forward Branden Dawson to a broken hand prior to the meeting with Michigan last month, and Dawson remains unavailable after having the pins removed from the hand Friday. With its top rebounder and a standout defender still stuck on the sidelines, Michigan State stepped up its game on the perimeter in a 94-79 win at Purdue on Thursday. Gary Harris made six of the Spartans' school-record 17 3-pointers and finished with 25 points to lead the way.

TV: 12 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: The Wolverines opened as 2.5-point home faves

POWER RANKINGS: Michigan State (-12.4) - Michigan (-10.9) + Home Court (-3.0) = Michigan -1.5

INJURY WATCH: Michigan State - Branden Dawson (Out - Hand), Michigan - Mitch McGary (Out - Back)

ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (22-5 SU, 15-9-2 ATS, 13-13-2 O/U): While Dawson remains out the Spartans will have the services of senior center Adreian Payne, who missed the first meeting between the rivals due to a foot injury, all part of an injury-plagued campaign for Tom Izzo's team. Payne is averaging 18 points and 6.8 rebounds in five games since his return, and guard Keith Appling produced nine assists in 25 minutes against the Boilermakers in his second game since coming back from a wrist ailment. If Appling continues to progress and Dawson's imminent return - which Izzo said could come in the Spartans' next game March 1 versus Illinois - occurs without a hitch Michigan State will look more like the team ranked second nationally in the preseason.

ABOUT MICHIGAN (18-7 SU, 12-10-1 ATS, 12-10-1 O/U): Nik Stauskas scored 19 points in the win over the Spartans last month, but has struggled a bit in the Wolverines' ensuing 3-3 stretch. Stauskas, who leads Michigan in scoring at 16.7, is averaging 11.2 points on 40 percent shooting during the six-game swoon, one reason that the league's top shooting team has been held to 70 points or less in four of its last five affairs. LeVert has done his part to fill the gap by averaging 16.3 points and hitting 46.4 percent of his 3-pointers in the six-game span.

TRENDS:

* Spartans are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings in Michigan.
* Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last six vs. Big Ten.
* Wolverines are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight home games.

CONSENSUS: 53 percent of bets are on Michigan -2.5.
