Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

--. Florida fired football coach Will Muschamp, but let him say he resigned and he'll coach the rest of the season. No one quits a job that pays that much.

-- Don't feel bad for Muschamp; he'll land as an SEC coordinator and those guys make as much as $1M a year, so he'll still be doing alright, no matter what.

-- San Jose State lost 13-0 at home to Hawai'i Saturday, but never punted; they had three turnovers, missed three FGs, lost ball three times on downs.

-- Seattle-KC game Sunday was first NFL game this year where both teams ran ball for more yards than they passed it. Old-time football.

-- Georgia RB Tood Gurley was suspended for getting some money for signing his name on memorabilia; he came back Saturday, then tore his ACL. Sad thing.

-- Six most popular picks in the Westgate Hotel handicapping contest, where some of the best handicappers in America put up $1,500 apiece, pick 5 games a week, are now 36-30 this year after going 4-2 Sunday

**********


Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up an NFL Sunday.......

13) Under is 10-3 so far this week, with an alarming shortage of touchdowns; with one game left this week, a total of only 44 TDs were scored by offenses in 13 games, compared to 64 in 13 games last weekend.

Of the four non-offensive TDs scored this week, three of them were scored by Green Bay in its 53-20 win over Philadelphia.

12) Texans 23, Browns 7-- JJ Watt caught a TD pass; Browns came up empty on two red zone drives and fell out of first in AFC North. Houston won Ryan Mallett's first NFL start. Cleveland had a kick return for TD called back by penalty; they were just 3-15 on third down conversions.

11) Bears 21, Vikings 13-- Minnesota led 10-0 early, but Chicago used their WRs' height to their advantage; Jeffery had 135 receiving yards, Marshall 90. Bears won 19 of 28 3rd downs in this game and that was a big part of the difference.

10) Packers 53, Eagles 20-- Philly got drubbed playing on short week, giving up two defensive TDs and a punt return TD. All four Green Bay TD drives were 80+ yards; they've scored 50+ points two games in row and outscored last four visitors to Green Bay by combined score of 128-9 in first half of those games.

9) Chiefs 24, Seahawks 20-- Marshawn Lynch stayed on the bench with trainers at halftime; they worked on a leg injury. He also refused to talk to reporters after game and could be fined $100K by the league. First drive by Chiefs, second drive for Seattle ate up total of 18:01, on 31 plays for 176 yards, which shortened game a great deal.

This game was first NFL contest this year where both teams ran ball for more yards than they passed it. Thats actually hard to believe, but it is true.

8) Falcons 19, Panthers 17-- Atlanta is 4-0 in divisional games, 0-6 against everyone but is now in first place in NFC South. At 4-6. Carolina missed a 46-yard FG with 1:27 left wide left, then had a 63-yarder tipped at the gun. Panthers are 1-7-1 in their last nine games, after starting season 2-0.

7) Bengals 27, Saints 10-- New Orleans has problems, losing second home game in row; this was an odd game where teams combined to convert 17 of 26 on third down, but game stayed under total by 13.5 points, with Saints' longest play only 17 yards. Everyone in AFC North is either 6-4 or 6-3-1; they're killing the NFC South teams-- so far this year, AFC North is 8-1-1 against NFC South (Bucs won at Pittsburgh).

6) Buccaneers 27, Redskins 7-- We're learning that the real star of LY's Texas A&M football team might've been WR Mike Evans, not Johnny Manziel. Evans caught seven balls for 209 yards and two TDs. Washington has a real dilemma with RGIII, who as one patron in the Westgate Theater said Sunday ".....RGIII looks awful today!!!!"

5) Rams 22, Broncos 7-- Rams played perfect defense, offense didn't screw anything up, hit one big play and an upset happened. Odd stat of the day: Rams are now 7-0 vs spread, 6-1 SU when I am in Las Vegas and they were underdog in six of seven games. Maybe I should move here. Ram DBs hit like Hall of Famers in this game.

4) 49ers 16, Giants 10-- When you turn ball over five times on 12 drives, go 3/out on four other drives, you're going to lose. 49ers scored only six points on three red zone drives, didn't recover an onside kick, butchered an easy FG, but escaped with a win. Aldon Smith's return meant a reduced role for Ahmad Brooks, who was not happy.

3) Chargers 13, Raiders 6-- Oakland fumbled on first play; Chargers scored couple plays after that and that was only TD all day. San Diego averaged only 5.0 ypp; they are having problems protecting Rivers, so they're reduced to shorter pass plays. Next week the Rams visit Qualcomm after beating Denver; should be a good game.

Chargers had 15-yard edge in field position in this game; teams with 10+-yard edge in field position are now 54-1 this season.

2) Cardinals 14, Lions 6-- Arizona is now 9-1 but will be an underdog in Seattle next week. This game had a scoreless second half. Detroit had only 11 first downs, was outgained by 95 yards, averaging only 4.8 ypa, half of what Arizona averaged. Best part about Bruce Arians is that he rarely stops attacking, on offense or defense.

1) Patriots 42, Colts 20-- Brady threw ugly INT at end of first half that let the Colts creep within 14-10, but Patriots were juggernaut in second half, scoring first four times they had ball (31 plays, 272 yards)- they ran ball for 244 yards, were more physical.

Heat G Dwyane Wade, doubtful Monday

Wade has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to return Monday against the Nets.


Bulls PG Derrick Rose, doubtful Monday

Rose missed the last game with a left hamstring injury and is unlikely to play Monday against the Clippers.


Wolves shopping Corey Brewer

The Minnesota Timberwolves, fresh off heavy back-to-back losses in New Orleans and Dallas and in the latest indication of their growing focus on the future, are in active trade discussions with multiple contending teams pursuing veteran swingman Corey Brewer, according to league sources.

Raymond Felton ban to start Monday

The Dallas Mavericks plan for guard Raymond Felton to begin serving his four-game suspension during Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets, coach Rick Carlisle said. The NBA announced Felton's suspension, which stems from his guilty plea to gun charges in New York from last season, in August.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six of the more interesting college football games this weekend........

-- K-State @ West Virginia-- Better than average Thursday night game.

-- Minnesota @ Nebraska-- Huskers are 11-point favorite that allowed Badgers to run for 581 yards last week; what do you think their practices are like this week?

-- Wisconsin @ Iowa-- Can QB Stave hit some big passes against Hawkeye defense that undoubtedly will focus on RB Gordon.

-- Ole Miss @ Arkansas-- Bielema got SEC monkey off his back last week, now the Rebels come to town with a better offense than LSU's. Interesting game.

-- Arizona @ Utah-- Wildcats find way to win every week; their kicker used to be the manager of the womens' soccer team. He won the Washington game Saturday.

-- USC @ UCLA-- Mora's third year with Bruins, third different USC head coach he is going up against in this rivalry game.

**********


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

32) Raiders-- Oakland has now lost 16 games in row, but are 5-5 vs spread this year. Their last win was at Houston, last home win against the Steelers.

31) Jaguars-- Outscored 46-13 in the first half of last three games; they had bye this week, are 3-1 in last four post-bye games.

30) Jets-- Were outscored 65-21 in last two post-bye games; have winnable game this week in Buffalo. Jets are 3-8-1 in last 12 games as divisional road underdog.

29) Titans-- Only win since season opener was 16-14 over Jaguars. Mettenberger is promising, but three of bottom four on this list are playing rookie QBs.

28) Redskins-- When the head coach starts criticizing the starting QB in the media, there are problems. Either that, or he's not going to be the starter much longer. Making it dicier is fact that they traded a boatload of draft picks to take RGIII. Whoops.

8) Cowboys-- Do broken backs heal in two weeks? Didn't think so. Four of their last six games are divisional games- they also play the Colts. Dallas lost three of its last four post-bye games.

7) Chiefs-- Won last five games, three by 4 or less points. Scored 30.8 ppg in winning last four home games, after losing season opener to Tennessee.

6) Colts-- Got pushed around by Patriots Sunday night; they're only 6-4, one game up on the Texans in AFC South. Finish with three road games in last four weeks.

5) Seahawks-- You get feeling they're not enjoying their season too much; Pat Riley calls it "The Disease of Me" when everyone takes credit for the team's success, when it shouldn't matter who gets the credit. They need Marshawn Lynch, but he seems like a royal pain in the butt at times.

4) Broncos-- Averaging 34.6 ppg at home, where they play this week for first time in four weeks. They brought Richie Incognito in for a reason; they need help on the OL to protect their QB, who is immobile. they didn't sign him, but it was a signal they're not comfortable with their OL.

3) Packers-- On serious roll right now; they're crushing teams at home. Their game in two weeks with New England could be interesting; later they visit Buffalo/Tampa in consecutive weeks, an interesting weather contrast.

2) Patriots-- Healthy Gronkowski turned their offense into a steamroller; in their last three games, they scored 51-43-42 points. Right now they'd be #1 seed in AFC- only team within game of New England are the Chiefs, who own tie-breakers with Pats.

1) Cardinals-- How in God's name is this team getting 6.5 points in Seattle this week, when they're 9-1? Stanton is as good as Palmer, but public perception is against them because they're not a popular team. This should be a good game.

Hornets F Kidd-Gilchrist, questionable Wednesday

Kidd-Gilchrist has an injured right foot and missed the last three games. He is questionable to return Wednesday against the Pacers.


Mavericks, Trail Blazers are NBA's best bets

Both the Dallas Mavericks and the Portland Trail Blazers extended their win and cover streaks Monday night and are now the best bets in the NBA at 8-3 against the spread.

The Mavs went into Charlotte and crushed the Hornets 107-80 as 4-point road faves for their fourth straight win and cover.

Meanwhile, the Blazers defeated New Orleans 102-93 as 3.5-point home favorites for their fifth straight win. It was the Blazers third straight cover and they have covered the spread in seven of their past eight games.


Clippers fall to Bulls, are the Association's worst bet

The Los Angeles Clippers continue to fail to meet expectations this season after their 105-89 loss to the Chicago Bulls Monday night and they continue to be the NBA's worst bet.

The Clippers, who closed as 7-point homes favorites, struggled to keep up with a Chicago team with no Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol in the second half and have now fallen to 1-8 against the spread this season. Good for dead last in the NBA.

It doesn't get any easier for the Clippers who open a seven-game road trip in Orlando Wednesday.


Road teams, under trending Monday night

Road teams and the under where the best bets if you were laying in NBA action on Monday night.

Teams on the road went 6-3 against the spread Monday night, good for a success rate of almost 67 percent. Meanwhile the under also went 6-3.
