Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Odds to win the college football national championship.......

4-1-- Florida State-- They've still got a pretty good QB.

6-1-- Oregon-Alabama-Oklahoma

7-1-- Ohio State-- Not much competition in their league.

9-1-- Auburn-- QB Marshall better stay off the weed.

10-1-- UCLA- Veteran QB, NFL head coach; my choice to win it all.

15-1-- LSU-- Like most of SEC, have a new QB this year.

**********

Sun Belt college football betting preview: Little league holds big value

The Sun Belt looks like a four-team race for the title, but that means there’s big betting value outside of those contenders in college football’s tiniest conference.

UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (2013: 9-4 SU, 5-8 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +110
Season win total: 9

Why bet the Ragin’ Cajuns: UL Lafayette is the best team on paper in the Sun Belt coming into the 2014 season. The Ragin’ Cajuns return 17 starters, including quarterback Terrance Broadway, who put up big numbers last season. The offense will be potent once again after averaging 33.8 points per game in 2013. Their defense improved last season and they will move forward once again.

Why not bet the Ragin’ Cajuns: Despite returning 17 starters, UL Lafayette's best playmaker - Darryl Surgent - graduated. Surgent was a solid receiver and an exceptional return man, giving the Ragin’ Cajuns consistent good field position. Losing one skill guy shouldn’t be an issue, but Surgent was a difference maker and ULL will miss his presence.

Season win total pick: Over 9

South Alabama Jaguars (2013: 6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +320
Season win total: 8

Why bet the Jaguars: South Alabama was much better than its 6-6 record last year. The Jaguars were a competitive bunch with five of their six losses coming by seven points or less. With 15 returning starters, South Alabama should have good fortune and win the close games. The Jaguars improved on both sides of the ball in 2013, so this team is on the upswing.

Why not bet the Jaguars: South Alabama’s schedule is brutal down the stretch as three of its last five games are on the road. Trips to Louisiana and Arkansas State in conference play, and a game at South Carolina will be difficult, especially if the Jaguars are fatigued or beset with injuries.

Season win total pick: Over 8

UL Monroe Warhawks (2013: 6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +450
Season win total: 7

Why bet the Warhawks: UL Monroe plays the quirky 3-3-5 defensive scheme and with nine starters back, the stop unit will be much improved. The Warhawks didn’t get a bowl invite last season despite winning six games, so they will play with a chip on their shoulder, especially since they return 15 starters in 2014.

Why not bet the Warhawks: The loss of quarterback Kolton Browning to graduation leaves UL Monroe with a big hole to fill in 2014. The schedule doesn’t help either as the Warhawks play three road games at SEC opponents and close the season by playing four of their last five games on the road.

Season win total pick: Under 7

Arkansas State Red Wolves (2013: 8-5 SU, 6-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +450
Season win total: 7

Why bet the Red Wolves: Arkansas State has been a consistent team over the last three seasons. It is 28-11 over its last 39 games, so ASU has developed a winning tradition in Jonesboro. The Red Wolves will have a strong defense that should keep them competitive.

Why not bet the Red Wolves: The Red Wolves return just four starters on offense and they will be playing for their fifth new coach in five years. Blake Anderson moves from offensive coordinator to head coach - a position he’s never held before. At some point, the coaching turnover has to catch up to Arkansas State and 2014 might be the year.

Season win total pick: Under 7

Troy Trojans (2013: 6-6 SU, 6-6 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +1,200
Season win total: 6

Why bet the Trojans: Troy’s offense projects to be explosive this season and as long as it gets consistent play from the quarterback position, the Trojans will be competitive. Their conference schedule is very kind and Troy should be able to take advantage of that, making its a sleeper in the Sun Belt.

Why not bet the Trojans: The Trojans defense has a lot to prove this year after four straight seasons of allowing more than 30 points per game. Troy’s team success hinges on the stop unit. Replacing QB Corey Robinson is also a major hurdle to overcome. He graduated as the Sun Belt’s all-time career leading passer.

Season win total pick: Over 6

Texas State Bobcats (2013: 6-6 SU, 5-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +1,500
Season win total: 6

Why bet the Bobcats: The Bobcats offense has a very strong rushing attack that can eat clock while paying ball control. They return eight starters, including a ton of experience along the offensive line. Sophomore QB Tyler Jones got plenty of experience last season and natural improvement should occur in his second season.

Why not bet the Bobcats: The Texas State defense returns only four starters and the coaching situation has set it back. Coordinator John Thompson has coached at big-name schools, but he was hired just one week before spring practice. He will implement a 4-2-5 scheme but with inexperienced players, the Bobcats will struggle to stop opponents in 2014.

Season win total pick: Under 6

Georgia Southern Eagles (2013: 7-4 SU, 1-0 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +5,500
Season win total: 5

Why bet the Eagles: Georgia Southern has finished the last four years with a winning record. The Eagles won at Florida last season and with 15 returning starters, their transition from FCS to FBS may be a bit easier than normal. Their talent fits in well with Sun Belt opponents.

Why not bet the Eagles: There’s a lot of change going on with Georgia Southern in 2014. Willie Fritz is the new head coach and he’s looking to open up the Eagles’ run-based offense. Depth is also an issue for Georgia Southern as it only has 63 scholarship players (FCS rules) compared to the 85 allowed for FBS teams. The Eagles also play seven of their 12 games on the road this season.

Season win total pick: Under 5

Idaho Vandals (2013: 1-11 SU, 3-9 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +10,000
Season win total: 3

Why bet the Vandals: Idaho is taking a step down in class by joining the Sun Belt. The Vandals can only improve off their one-win season and the return of 17 starters is definitely a plus. The lesser competition will give Idaho a major boost and it will be a much improved team in 2014.

Why not bet the Vandals: The Vandals finished dead last in the FBS in scoring defense last season, giving up 46.8 points per game. Things don’t get easier for Idaho as it is now in a conference known for explosive offenses. The Vandals’ offense also needs to step way up as they averaged just 18.2 points per game last year and only 15.8 ppg in 2012.

Season win total pick: Over 3

New Mexico State Aggies (2013: 2-10 SU, 4-7 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +10,000
Season win total: 3

Why bet the Aggies: New Mexico State will benefit from playing in the Sun Belt conference. Its schedule was brutal in head coach Doug Martin’s first season. But this year, the Aggies have manageable games that are winnable. The offense will surprise teams and the ability to score points will make New Mexico State better in 2014.

Why not bet the Aggies: Statistically, New Mexico State had the worst defense in the country in 2013. It allowed 44.6 points and 550 yards per game. It returns just five starters to that unit and must learn the new schemes under new defensive coordinator Larry Coyer.

Season win total pick: Over 3

Appalachian State Mountaineers (2013: 4-8 SU, 1-0 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +20,000
Season win total: 3

Why bet the Mountaineers: Appalachian State suffered its first losing season since 1993 after going just 4-8 in 2013. Winning programs tend to bounce back strong off a subpar season, so the Mountaineers will be hungry coming into 2014. With 15 returning starters, including nine on offense, Appalachian State will improve this season.

Why not bet the Mountaineers: The team is moving up from FCS to FBS and it is a young and inexperienced team. Head coach Scott Satterfield is in just his second season and he has little experience as well. Facing better competition every week will prove to be too much for the Mountaineers in their first season in FBS.

Season win total pick: Under 3

Georgia State Panthers (2013: 0-12 SU, 8-4 ATS)

Odds to win conference: +25,000
Season win total: 2

Why bet the Panthers: After going 0-12 in 2013, there’s nowhere to go but up for Georgia State. Despite going winless, the Panthers lost five games by 10 points or less so they were somewhat competitive and it showed in their ATS record.

Why not bet the Panthers: Georgia State hopes its second year in FBS play will be better. But with only nine returning starters, expectations are extremely low. The Panthers have a weak offense and a terrible defense and anything more than two wins would be considered a successful season in Atlanta.

Season win total pick: Under 2

Sunday, July 20

Red Sox pitcher dominant against Royals

If there is one team that Jon Lester has dominated in his career it’s the Kansas City Royals. In Lester’s 10 career starts he has given up only 12 runs, while the Royals and Boston Red Sox have averaged six runs a game.

Bettors have loved this matchup with these 10 games carrying an over.under record of 0-8-2.

Brewers pitcher spells high totals for bettors

Yovani Gallardo certainly has not shown his top notch pitches to the Washington Nationals. The total has gone 1-4-1 in Gallardo’s past six starts against the Nats.

Gallardo has himself given up more than four runs per game and the two teams have combined for an average of 11 runs per game during that span.

Cubs pitcher making competition look bad

Though many have just checked out on the Chicago Cubs, you can’t ignore Jake Arrieta. The Cubs are 5-1 in Arrieta’s last six starts.

In those six starts Arrieta has allowed a mere seven runs while striking out 50 hitters. Before this six game span, Arrieta had a 3.00 ERA, but is entering Sunday’s action with a fine 1.95.

Pitcher paying out for total bettors this season

The Atlanta Braves are a team toiling in mediocrity recently, but bettors have been banking on Alex Wood. In Wood’s 22 starts this season, he is carrying a 6-15-1 over/under for bettors.

Wood has given up a mere 32 runs this season, averaging less than two per outing, and has held the opposing team to two runs or less 18 times this season.

CFL

Sunday, July 20

This could be the hottest betting stat of the summer

The Under went an impeccable 4-0 in the CFL's Week 4 schedule of games. The perfect week improved the season-to-date mark to 4-12 Over/Under.

It was a low-scoring week north of the border, with Edmonton and Winnipeg combining for 29 points, staying well under the closing total of 54.5 to get the week started Thursday. Elsewhere, Toronto and Ottawa combined for 35 (52.5), Hamilton and Calgary managed just 17 points (50.5) and Montreal and B.C. tallied 46 (49) coming the closest to going Over.

Week 5 action gets underway with the Edmonton Eskimos host the Calgary Stampeders Thursday. No lines are currently on the board for the Week 5 slate, but both Edmonton and Calgary have spotless records for Under bettors, going 0-4 and 0-3 respectively.

Game of the Day: Dodgers at Cardinals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals (+157, 6.5)

Clayton Kershaw looks to keep alive an outstanding personal run when he leads the Los Angeles Dodgers into the finale of a three-game series at St. Louis on Sunday night. Before throwing one perfect inning in the All-Star Game in Minneapolis, Kershaw posted his second complete game of the year with an 11-strikeout effort against San Diego on July 10. His scoreless streak was halted at 41 innings in the process but he still won his eighth straight start, all in dominant fashion.

Kershaw may not need it, but he would likely appreciate more run support than his teammates have provided of late. The Dodgers have scored 12 runs in a 3-4 stretch, including four in dropping the first two games of the series. Los Angeles was routed 9-0 in St. Louis to end last year's National League Championship Series and is 10-21 all-time in the regular season at the new Busch Stadium.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Cards as +156 home dogs. The total has held at 6.5.

INJURY REPORT: Dodgers - 3B Chone Figgins (Out/Hip), SS Erisbel Arruebarrena (Out/Hip) Cardinals - C Yadier Molina (Out/Thumb)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.78 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Carlos Martinez (2-4, 4.43)

Kershaw has 80 strikeouts in 61 innings while walking just six batters during his eight-game winning streak. He is 6-1 with a 1.91 ERA in seven road starts and has 16 scoreless frames over his last two outings away from home. The 26-year-old fanned 13 in seven scoreless frames versus St. Louis at home on June 29, improving to 5-5 with a 3.43 ERA in 13 career starts against the Cardinals.

Martinez limped into the break allowing four runs in four rocky innings at Milwaukee on July 13. It was the fifth time in his six starts this season in which he has failed to last beyond five innings. The Dominican, who has 29 strikeouts in 28 1/3 innings as a starter, allowed a run and six hits in 4 1/3 innings at Los Angeles on June 27.

TRENDS:

*Dodgers are 8-0 in Kershaws last 8 starts.
*Cardinals are 8-2 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning record.
*Under is 12-4-2 in Cardinals last 18 home games.
*Dodgers are 1-5 in Kershaws last 6 starts vs. Cardinals.
