Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

NFL trends with Week 4 upon us.......

-- Giants covered six of last eight divisional road games.

-- Ravens are 1-6 as a non-divisional home favorite.

-- Bears covered once in last nine division games.

-- Dolphins are 4-10-1 in last fifteen games as a favorite.

-- Indianapolis covered its last eight division games.

-- Minnesota covered seven of last nine as a home underdog.


**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Our bottom 5, top 8 in NFL.........

32) Buccaneers (0-3)—Get well soon, Jeff Tedford. Aaron Rodgers’ college coach, Bucs’ OC has heart issues, has taken leave from the Bucs, leaving them woefully short in coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

31) Jaguars (0-3)—Blake Bortles gets his first NFL start this week, for a team that was outscored 51-7 in first half of their last two games.

30) Vikings (1-2)-- Adrian Peterson is gone, Cassel (foot) is out for the year, so rookie QB Bridgewater takes over under center. His first start is against the Falcons; tough way to break in.

29) Raiders (0-3)—Had tying TD called back by a penalty in last minute at Foxboro last week; they turned ball over on next play. Are spending this week in England.

28) Titans (1-2)—Have some skilled WRs, but lack QB who can get them the ball; look for LSU rookie Mettenberger to be under center before the year is over.

8) Patriots (2-1)—Apparently I picked the wrong year to draft Tom Brady in fantasy football; could’ve been worse, I could’ve drafted Adrian Peterson.

7) Texans (2-1)—I’m curious how much different coaching in the NFL is as opposed to college. Hopefully someone in national media will do a story about this with Bill O’Brien later this season.

6) Broncos (2-1)—Spray chart of Denver passes Sunday showed great variety of where throws went, covering whole width of field, compared to last year’s Super Bowl, when 80% of throws were in short/middle area.

5) Seahawks (2-1)—They had to be alarmed with how easily Denver scored in last 1:00 of regulation Sunday. NFL teams had been 2 for last 76 trying to score tying TD in that scenario. Offense bailed team out, but Arizona is 3-0 and a legit challenger in NFC West.

4) Chargers (2-1)—Impressive win at Buffalo, could easily be 3-0. Took some injury hits at RB last week; Manti Teo broke his foot, too. Haven’t fared well as double digit favorite; they host Jaguars this week.

3) Cardinals (3-0)—Michigan State (Hoyer-Stanton-Cousins) has most current starting QBs in NFL. You could win a bar bet with that tidbit.

2) Eagles (3-0)—First team in NFL history to start 3-0 when they trailed all three games by 10+ points. Some of defensive players are whining about amount of running team does day before game. No one is whining about being 3-0.

1) Bengals (3-0)—Put their resume under another team’s banner and they’re getting lot more attention than Cincinnati is right now, which can’t bother Marvin Lewis much; media attention is just one more distraction no pro coach needs. In college, at least it helps in recruiting.
