    Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

    -- Coaching Team USA gives Mike Krzyzewski a ridiculous edge in recruiting; he got a commitment from Chase Jeter Monday, a top-flight recruit from Las Vegas. Duke's problem is the kids they get now rarely stay in school very long.

    -- Weird baseball schedule this week; seven of 15 mid-week series are interleague series, so lot of teams that aren't too familiar wth each other.

    -- Mike Carp comes off the scrap heap, bats 5th in his first game for Texas. Oy.

    -- SEC Network will be aired on DirecTV when it starts next week, good news for me; now all we need is the Pac-12 Network to sign up- that doesn't look good.

    -- ESPN announced its lineup for the college basketball marathon in November; I'll be out in Las Vegas for it this year, which should be excellent.

    -- Some of the better games: SMU-Gonzaga, Utah-San Diego State and a game in South Dakota between Wichita State/Memphis. Yes that says South Dakota.


    **********

    Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: NFL knowledge for a Tuesday........

    13) Houston Texans lost nine games LY by 7 or less points; they never won another game after a 2-0 start. With a new coach/new QB this year, Houston is currently favored in four of its first six games and is expected to bounce back big-time in 2014.

    12) New England was 0-4 as a road favorite LY, after being 33-18-2 from 2004-12; they’ve been plus in turnovers eight years in a row and are +79 in turnovers over last four regular seasons, thanks to having an all-time great QB. Over last decade, Patriots are 16-7-1 vs spread as an underdog.

    11) Bengals signed Andy Dalton to six-year, $115M contract last weekend; over last four years, Cincy is 22-10 vs spread in game following a wiu, 11-14-4 following a loss. Bengals are 30-18 SU the last three years, an excellent stretch, but pressure is on to win a playoff game or two this year.

    10) Yards per point tracks how opportunistic teams are; the lower the better. Denver ranked #1/#2 in NFL in this important stat the last two years, after ranking #21/#23 in the two years before Peyton Manning came to town. Chiefs improved from #27 to #2 in defensive YPP in Andy Reid’s first season in Kansas City LY.

    9) Speaking of the Chiefs, they were +18 in turnovers LY after being -24 the year before, a humongous improvement that resulted them improving in wins from 2 to 11- they also improved in sacks from 27 to 47. Normally there is regression after such a huge improvement; will be interesting to track the Chiefs this year.

    8) Andy Reid’s old team, the Eagles were -14/-24 in turnovers in Reid’s last two years there but improved to +12 LY and also led the NFL in rushing yards, which is why they won a lot more game in Chip Kelly’s first season.

    Sometimes change is good. One thing that still needs to change; over last four years, Iggles are 9-23 at home against the spread.

    7) Patriots (21) have most returning starters back from LY, followed by Eagles and Chargers, both with 20.

    6) NFC East and NFC South have both had three different champs the last three years; Packers-Patriots-Broncos have all won their divisions each of last three years.

    5) In Rex Ryan’s first two years as Jets’ coach, they were 20-12, going +1/+9 in turnovers; they were -3 in their 8-8 season in 2011, then regressed to an awful -14/-14 the last two years, when they went 14-18. LY could be explained away by having a rookie QB playing most of the time, but if Ryan wants a 7th year wearing Jets’ green, he needs to get that turnover ratio back in the black.

    4) Giants allowed only 20 sacks in 2012, despite having an immobile Manning at QB; that number doubled LY, their turnover ratio went from +14 to -15 in a hideous season that cost OC Kevin Gilbride his job (you really think the guy retired??? Really?) New OC McAdoo will get Big Blue playing faster and throwing safer passes, to increase Eli’s completion percentage while reducing his sacks/turnovers.

    3) Over last decade, Miami Dolphins are 14-35 vs spread when favored, though they are a decent 7-7 as home favorites the last three years. Fish have been minus in turnovers five years in a row, allowed 58 sacks LY in a bizarre season where almost the entire OL turned over during the year. Their chemistry has to be better this year, you just wonder if Tannehill is the right QB for the job; after watching Hard Knocks last summer, I wondered why they liked the guy so much. Friend of mine knows and likes Joe Philbin so we wish him well; this is a pivotal year for him

    2) Buffalo Bills haven’t been to the playoffs since 1999; they haven’t been favored in an AFC East road game since 2008. Bills are 5-15-1 vs spread as a road dog the last three years, are 10-18 in last 28 games as a non-divisional road dog.

    Is EJ Manuel the QB to make them a contender? You have to love their receivers, but receivers don’t help much without a solid passer getting them the ball.

    1) Dallas Cowboys finished 8-8 last three years in a row; LY was first time in eight years they finished outside the top 10 in passing yardage (#14). Turnover ratio does not seem to matter as much with Dallas- they go 8-8 no matter what their ratio is, but they allowed 415 yards per game LY, worst in NFL- they’ve been #27/#22 against the run the last two years. Unless they shore those numbers up, its going to be another mediocre-at-best autumn for America’s Team.

      Three NFL hot-seat coaches who must win in the preseason

      Some NFL coaches care about preseason football and some don’t. But that doesn’t mean they don’t want to win. Where the real betting value lies is finding the guys who need to win.

      It seems silly to think anyone needs to win in the preseason, but these three head coaches must kick start a winning atmosphere in order to cool their seats off before the real season starts.

      Joe Philbin, Miami Dolphins

      According to CoachesHotSeat.com, no head coach in the NFL has a hotter chair than Philbin, who went 8-8 SU and 9-7 ATS in his second season in South Beach. The Dolphins’ locker room was about as welcoming as the gals on “Orange Is The New Black” and he did very little to curb that culture. On top of that, the Dolphins are 3-6 SU and just 1-8 ATS in the preseason under Philbin.

      But nothing cures a poison franchise like winning. Even small doses of victory – say like a strong preseason – can quickly put recent failures in the rearview. Miami needs a little more than a successful warmup season to erase the mess Philbin made last year, but it’s a start.

      Dennis Allen, Oakland Raiders

      Even though Al Davis is in a better place now – or maybe not, who knows? – the ax can fall just as quick in Oakland. Allen has defied the franchise’s recent history and made it through two full seasons with his job intact. But back-to-back 4-12 years (12-19-1 ATS) provides about as much job security as sleeping with the boss' daughter.

      The Raiders can’t decide whether they want to win now or rebuild, adding veterans like Matt Schaub and Maurice Jones-Drew to help get them through the year. There is no set business plan for the Silver and Black and rumors have already started that Allen is simply holding space until former head coach Jon Gruden gets tired of the Monday Night Football booth. Allen will need to kill that noise with some preseason wins, which haven’t been his specialty – going just 2-6 SU and 3-5 ATS in the preseason.

      Mike Smith, Atlanta Falcons

      Smith receives a “Get out of jail free” card for his past successes, but another season like 2013 and the Falcons head coach won’t be able to douse the flames shooting from his seat. Atlanta was a shocker last year, finishing 4-12 SU and 7-9 ATS, but can quickly show that it was a fluke by putting away a couple “Ws” during the tune-up schedule.

      The catch is Smith doesn’t give a crap about the preseason, going 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS last August and boasting a 1-11 SU and 3-9 ATS mark over the past three preseason schedules. However, 2014 is different. Smith hasn’t been under the gun like this and a Falcons fanbase that’s starving for wins will eat up some early victories, even if they don’t mean anything.

        Mercury have gone cold for bettors in last two games

        The Phoenix Mercury are still the top bet against the spread in the WNBA, but they've gone a little cold at the betting window of late.

        Following a sensational 11-game winning streak ATS, Mercury backers have been left frustrated, tearing up tickets in the past two games. They failed to covers as 1-point faves at Minnesota and as 11-point faves versus Indiana.

        Still, the Mercury are 19-7-1 ATS and bettors will look for another win Tuesday. Books have the Mercury as 8-point home faves with the Atlanta Dream in town Tuesday evening.

                      Winning streak has this team paying for bettors

                      The Minnesota Lynx are hard-charging after the Phoenix Mercury for top spot in the WNBA. The Lynx have now won their past 10 games and have gone a stunning 9-1 against the spread for bettors during that span.

                      The Lynx' streak has seen them outscore opponents by an average of nearly 10-points a game and have five times beaten their opponent by 11 or more.

                      Minnesota will look to continue their dominance as 4.5-point road faves against Indiana Tuesday.

                        The Dodgers have outscored their opponents 30-7 in those games, but have won three of those games by only one run.

                        The Dodgers are -233 against the Los Angeles Angels (+213) Tuesday.

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

                          Los Angeles Angels at Los Angeles Dodgers (-228, 6.5)

                          Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw aims to maintain his run of dominance when he puts a personal 10-game winning streak on the line Tuesday at home against the Los Angeles Angels. Kershaw has thrown four complete games in his last eight starts, including a gem against Atlanta on Thursday, when he let up a run and struck out nine in a 2-1 victory. The National League Pitcher of the Month for June and July has yielded only three runs in 41 frames over his last four home outings.

                          Although he rarely needs much run support, Kershaw will hope for a bit more than the Dodgers could muster in a 5-0 loss in Monday's series opener. The Angels got a home run from Josh Hamilton and a five-hit shutout from Garrett Richards to win for the 13th time in their last 20 games at Dodger Stadium. The victory kept the Angels one game behind first-place Oakland in the American League West, while the Dodgers saw their lead in the N.L. West reduced to 1 1/2 games over San Francisco.

He is 1-7 with a 4.16 ERA in 14 starts, limiting opponents to 65 hits in 71 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old, who owns a 2.75 ERA in 11 career interleague contests (four starts), has thrown just 1 1/3 innings in his career versus the Dodgers.
