Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Odds to win the college basketball national title next spring..........

3-1-- Kentucky-- Lot of talent, but hard to have great chemistry with the turnover they ever every year.

8-1-- Arizona-Duke-Wisconsin-- Badgers, eh? Duke has lot of turnover, too.

10-1-- Kansas-- Teams with one-and-done kids are always reloading.

12-1-- Florida-- SEC gets tougher with addition of Bruce Pearl, Donnie Tyndall.

22-1-- Louisville-North Carolina-- Lot of distractions for the Tar Heels.

**********

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

13) Man, I thought oil companies were thieving bastards; went to summer basketball tournament last night here in Las Vegas- $10 to get in is reasonable, but if you want a book with teams' rosters, it costs freakin' $250!!!! They rip off the college coaches who have to pay the tab to do their jobs. Jerks like me who just want to know who I'm watching can go to hell-- there is no way to know.

12) This is a huge moneymaker for tournament organizers; there are 351 D-I teams, many of whom are here-- there are D-II, D-III and NAIA teams here too, but for the sake of argument, lets say half the D-I teams buy a book-- thats 175 books, at $250 a pop-- thats $43,750 right there, minus printing costs (there are ads in the books, too-- not many, but there are some).

11) It costs a lot of money for teams to play; we'll say $600 a team, could be more, not really sure, but $600 is close. There are roughly 200 teams playing in this event, so we'll estimate 200 teams at $600 a team-- thats another $120,000. Expenses are referees and rental of facilities, but these people are taking in serious money.

10) We used to go to the AAU national championships in Orlando and write about it in this space- these games aren't as good as those, but they're close. Lot of teams in the west didn't go to Florida- they play here instead.

9) Most fun team to watch, in the few games I saw-- the Colorado Titans, a team from the Boulder area that played great team ball. Their guards were quick and went to the basket with authority- they looked for each other and broke down the opposing defense fairly easily. Very well-coached team.

Elsewhere in the world.........
8) Still trying to figure out why the Eagles just let DeSean Jackson walk; those two games with the Redskins will be very interesting.

7) Washington coach Jay Gruden is an NFL head coach for the first time, but he was a head coach in the Arena League for nine years, the UFL for one, so he really has a lot of head coaching experience, just not at the highest level.

6) Former Kansas coach Mark Mangino is the new offensive coordinator at Iowa State; he did a terrific job coaching the Jayhawks, shouldn't have been let go.

5) ESPN anchor Jay Harris won a car by getting as hole-in-one at a golf tourney here in Las Vegas; apparently he's a pretty good golfer.

4) Ryan Howard lost his starting job and will platoon at most at first base for the Phillies- if they didn't owe him $60M over the next three years, they'd release him, but that would be very expensive-- could the GM survive that?

3) Detroit Tigers acquired Joakim Soria from Texas; am guessing at some point he will wind up as Detroit's closer.

2) If you're a kid trying for a college basketball scholarship, here's a tip; work on your skills. No point in jacking up bricks from 22 feet if you can't shoot-- you'll make an impression on coaches, but not the one you want to.

Lot of bigtime players out here; one of the first coaches I saw in the gym was Wichita State's Gregg Marshall; also saw coaches from Portland-Southern Miss-Cincinnati-Utah State and Cal-Irvine. Going to a junior college showcase Saturday; looking forward to seeing some older players on the court.

1) Thoughts and prayers go out to Broncos' owner Pat Bowlen and his family; he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, is no longer running the team. My mother died 10 years ago after having that hideous disease; its really an awful thing.

Week 5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game of the Day: Stampeders at Eskimos
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calgary Stampeders at Edmonton Eskimos (+1, 50)

Thursday's tilt between the Calgary Stampeders and host Edmonton Eskimos represents more than the latest chapter in the CFL's Battle of Alberta - it also will decide bragging rights atop the crowded West Division. The Stampeders and Eskimos are the only two remaining unbeaten teams in the league. Both are coming off impressive defensive efforts, with Calgary defeating Hamilton 10-7 and Edmonton coasting past Winnipeg 26-3.

While both clubs are on a high following impressive victories last week, each has reason to be concerned on the offensive side of the ball. The Eskimos struggled to gain traction against a stubborn Winnipeg side, not scoring their first offensive touchdown until early in the fourth quarter. Things were even more dire for the Stampeders, who managed only a field goal by Rene Paredes and Brad Sinopoli's 26-yard TD run off a broken play.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Eskies as 2.5-point home faves, but that has moved all the may to +1. The total opened 52.5 but has dropped to 50.

INJURY REPORT: Stampeders - RB Jon Cornish (Out, concussion)

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (3-0, 2-1 ATS): Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly will be a popular point of discussion this week in Calgary's dressing room after he torched the Stampeders for 155 rushing yards on 19 carries a season ago. "Anytime you can get a hit on a quarterback, you like it," said linebacker Deron Mayo, who is expected to play despite dealing with a hamstring injury. "But he's good at running, and he's good at making people miss as well. That will be a challenge for us, coming up and stopping him."

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (4-0, 3-1 ATS): Edmonton appears to have survived a scare, as receiver Fred Stamps returned to practice over the weekend showing no ill effects following a thunderous hit from Winnipeg's Demond Washington in last Thursday's win. Stamps was the victim of a late hit as he cut across the back of the end zone and was helped off the field by trainers while Washington was given an unnecessary roughness penalty on the play. "I feel good," Stamps said following Sunday's practice. "I feel healthy and I'm ready for Calgary."

TRENDS:

* Stampeders are 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings in Edmonton.
* Under is 4-0 in Eskimos last four games overall.
* Under is 7-0 in Stampeders last seven road games.
* Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.

CONSENSUS: 53.46 percent of wagers on Consensus are behind the Eskimos.

Halos red-hot with Richards on the mound

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Garrett Richards has been coming through in a big way for Halos backers lately. In the 26-year-old's last nine outings, the Angels are a sizzling 8-1. They'll look to improve that record when Richards takes the bump at home versus the Detroit Tigers Thursday night.

L.A. is presently -113 favorites with an O/U of seven.

The M's are currently -134 faves with a total of 6.5.

Kluber, Tribe dominating Royals as of late
