Golden Hurricane 5-1 vs. spread away in 2019 and 3-1 as road dog, the latter more reminiscent of Montgomery’s first couple of years with Tulsa when 6-1 as visiting dog in 2015-16.
OSU, however, on 13-4 spread uptick since late 2018, and Gundy has remarkably covered last 14 non-Big 12 games dating to 2016!

*********************************

Saturday’s Den: Random thoughts on a happy day

13) Good day Friday; finally got my new glasses, so my eyesight is back to 100%, for first time in 11 months. I have a list of people to thank, but unfortunately, I don’t know a lot of their names.

— Dr Mallick, my retina surgeon, who has since moved to New Jersey
— Dr Lemanski, my cataract surgeon

— My cousins Maureen/Kevin, who went above and beyond to help me out.
— Friends/drivers Luke, Christina, Dara.
— My friend Chris the bartender, who advised me on where to get a new pair of glasses back in February- they helped a lot.

— The people at Memorial Hospital who helped me thru retina surgery
— The people at the Surgery Center in Latham, where I had cataract surgery.

Dr Lemanski’s staff got me new glasses, so it is lot easier to write this site now.

People at the Retina Care Center were also very nice to me.

Its been a long 11 months, but it is good to have my vision back to 100%.

12) Tampa Bay/Oakland clinched playoff spots this week; A’s are in postseason for 6th time in nine years, with a payroll in the bottom third of the sport.

11) Michael Bloomberg is contributing $100M to Joe Biden’s campaign in Florida; money like that has to buy a hell of a lot of TV commercials. This is a good couple months for TV networks; politicians throwing money at them for commercial time.

10) WR Adam Humphries recently signed a $26M deal with the Tennessee Titans; this is a guy who had only one scholarship offer coming out of high school- Clemson. This is part of why Dabo Swinney’s team is in the college football playoff every year; he can recognize talent.

9) Boston Celtics are 8-5 in playoffs so far; they led by 10+ points in four of the five losses.

8) Cleveland Browns’ coach Kevin Stefanski came to Cleveland from the Vikings, where he had been an assistant coach for 14 years, working for three different head coaches. That’s an unusual career path for a pro football coach.

7) Lakers 126, Nuggets 114 (Lakers lead 1-0)
— Game was 70-59 at halftime; LA shot 53% from the floor.
— Anthony Davis scored 37 points; Denver needs to find a way to defend him.

6) Ruben Amaro Jr is a new TV analyst for the Phillies and he is very good; relaxed, talks the game, and as a former GM/coach, knows it very well.

5) Milwaukee Brewers are 24-26, wallowing just below the cut for the playoffs; their most talented pitchers are Brandon Woodruff/Josh Hader, but Hader has thrown only 15.2 innings all year, while a washed-up stiff like Brent Suter has thrown 26 innings- Brett Anderson has thrown 39 innings.

Milwaukee rushed Hader to the majors because their AAA team was in high-altitude Colorado Springs, where prospects got their confidence squashed by lofty ERA’s- they made him a reliever to limit his innings early in his career. But now that he is an established big leaguer, Hader needs to be a starting pitcher, so the Brewers can maximize his immense potential.

4) Late night TV surfing, ran into an old friend; the old TV show Without a Trace was very underrated, about the part of FBI in New York City that found missing people. Anthony LaPaglia was great as Jack Malone, who headed the agency. It is on Paramount Network 2-3 hours in a row, late at night.

3) ESPN signed up longtime NBA star Vince Carter as an NBA/college hoop analyst; you never know how these things are going to go, but I’ll be curious to hear what he has to say.

2) Speaking of college basketball, sounds like next season will begin November 25, the night before Thanksgiving. No freakin’ idea what the schedule is going to look like, but it’ll be fun to see kids playing basketball again.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
AL East: Tampa Bay, New York
AL Central: Chicago, Minnesota
AL West: Oakland, Houston
AL wild cards: Cleveland, Toronto

NL East: Atlanta, Miami
NL Central: Chicago, Cincy/StL
NL West: Los Angeles, San Diego
NL wild cards: Philadelphia, SF/Cin/StL

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Six interesting spreads for Week 3 NFL games:
— Miami @ Jacksonville (-3, 47.5)
— Las Vegas @ New England (-6.5, 47)
— LA Rams @ Buffalo (-2.5, 47)
— Houston @ Pittsburgh (-3.5, 45)
— San Francisco (-4.5, 41) @ NJ Giants
— Tennessee (-2.5, 47.5) @ Minnesota

Americans who have died from COVID-19: 199,938
Please wear a mask when you go out.


**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's Den: Nobody asked me, but…….

13) Las Vegas 34, Saints 24
— Penalties: Saints 10-129 yards, Raiders 3-13 yards
— Saints averaged 7.4 yards/play, converted 7-11 on 3rd down.
— New Orleans lost eight of its last ten road openers.

— Raiders converted 16-28 on 3rd down, scored 68 points in winning their first two games.
— Las Vegas ran 76 plays, the Saints only 57, but were outgained by 49 yards.
— AFC West teams are 5-0-1 ATS outside their division.

12) Raiders have spent $52.6M of their salary cap on their offensive line, the most of any team in the league.

When the Raiders’ move to Las Vegas was approved by the league, the vote was 31-1; for some unknown reason, Miami Dolphins were the team that voted against the move.

11) Being a head coach involves having both onions and a feel for your team.

3rd quarter Sunday, Rams lead 21-16 at Philly, 6:51 left in 3rd quarter. LA has 4th and a foot on their own 29, after intercepting a Wentz pass in the end zone on the Eagles’ previous drive. Most coaches, maybe 90%, maybe higher, punt the ball there.

McVay has the Rams go for it, Goff sneaks for the first down, and Rams go down and kick a FG on a drive that went 68 yards on 16 plays and gave his defense a nice rest.

10) NFL injury issues:
— Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley is out for the year.
— Panthers’ RB Christian McCaffrey is out 4-6 weeks.
— Broncos’ QB Drew Lock is out for 3-5 weeks.

9) With Lock out for a while, Jeff Driskel figures to be backed up by Brett Rypien, who played college ball at Boise State but has to make his NFL debut.

8) So far this season, NFC West reams are 6-0 ATS outside their division; AFC West teams are 5-0-1 ATS. NFC East teams are 1-5.

7) Deion Sanders is going to be the football coach at Jackson State, where his son will undoubtedly follow him to play quarterback.

Shedeur Sanders has verbally committed to play at Florida Atlantic, but that’s about to change; the kid is an accurate passer, a 4-star recruit. He played on ESPN a few weeks ago, and looked pretty good. Deion Sanders is the offensive coordinator for his son’s high school team.

6) They were talking on a ballgame the other night how hitters are no longer allowed to watch videos in between their at bats, and it has screwed up some hitters, who are used to doing that and need it to adjust their approach. Thank the Astros and their garbage can for that.

5) ESPN had Ian Happ miked while he played the outfield Sunday night; this bothers me, it is an intrusion on the game. Alex Rodriguez actually was busting Happ’s chops because he roots for the Cleveland Browns. Who in the commissioner’s office thinks BS like that is a good idea?

4) I’m thinking that if the expanded baseball playoffs that start next week are popular with fans, they’ll become a permanent part of the major leagues, in combination with a slightly shorter regular season (154 games?)

One thing I DO NOT want to see ever are automated umpires for balls/strikes; no thank you.

3) 203 ballplayers have made their major league debut this season, 18 of them play for the Miami Marlins. Someone’s going to write an interesting book about this unusual season.

2) Of the 30 current major league managers, Colorado’s Bud Black is the only one who was a pitcher in the major leagues. 10 of the 30 skippers were catchers in their playing days.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
AL East: Tampa Bay, New York
AL Central: Chicago, Minnesota
AL West: Oakland, Houston
AL wild cards: Cleveland, Toronto

NL East: Atlanta, Miami
NL Central: Chicago, St Louis
NL West: Los Angeles, San Diego
NL wild cards: Philadelphia, Cincinnati

College football odds Week 4: Opening lines & odds movement
Patrick Everson

Mac Jones and Alabama begin the 2020 season on the road Saturday against fellow SEC outfit Missouri. PointsBet USA opened Alabama hefty 28-point chalk and dropped to -27 Monday.

College football odds for Week 4 are on the betting board and already getting action, in part due to the SEC joining the fray for its first games of the season. Defending national champion Louisiana State hosts Mississippi, and Alabama is a huge road favorite against Missouri.

PointsBet USA's Patrick Eichner provided insights on college football Week 4 opening lines, early line movement, sharp money and public betting for this week's matchups. Covers will update this action report with college football sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the week

College football Week 4 odds

These are the current College football Week 4 odds for the premier games on the schedule, as of September 21.

(7) Notre Dame at Wake Forest odds

Opening line
Wake Forest +17.5, Over/Under 58

Why the line moved
This line scooted up to Notre Dame -19 in a hurry at PointsBet USA, but professional bettors reeled that in to -16.5 equally as fast Monday. "Sharp action helped drive that number back down," Eichner said Monday evening.


(2) Alabama at Missouri Odds

Opening line
Missouri +28, Over/Under 55.5

Why the line moved
The first move at PointsBet USA was from Alabama -28 to -27, and the total ticked from 55.5 to 55, but there was nothing to report in the way of early action Monday.


(6) Florida at Ole Miss odds

Opening line
Mississippi +13, Over/Under 60

Why the line moved
Both the line and the total were on the move Monday at PointsBet USA. Florida shifted from -13 to -14.5, while the total dropped from 60 to 57. "Two decent-sized adjustments in this one," Eichner said.


Kansas State at (3) Oklahoma odds

Opening line
Oklahoma -27, Over/Under 59

Why the line moved
The Sooners got an early betting shove at PointsBet USA, moving from -27 to -28.5. The total ticked up a notch to 59.5 Monday.


(3) Georgia at Arkansas odds

Opening line
Arkansas +24.5, Over/Under 51.5

Why the line moved

Opening line
Texas Tech +16.5, Over/Under 69

Why the line moved
PointsBet USA moved this line 1.5 points to Texas -18 by Monday afternoon.


Mississippi State at (5) Louisiana State odds

Opening line
LSU -18.5, Over/Under 54.5

Why the line moved
The line went down and the total went up Monday at PointsBet USA, with LSU dropping to -16.5 and the total surging to 57.5. "We saw some action on the Over," Eichner said.


Vanderbilt at (11) Texas A&M odds

Opening line
Texas A&M -29, Over/Under 48

Why the line moved
Between the market and perhaps some A&M support, the Aggies were up 1.5 points to -30.5 at PointsBet USA on Monday. The total moved up a notch to 48.5.


Kentucky at (8) Auburn odds

Opening line
Auburn -8, Over/Under 47.5

Why the line moved
This line bounced around a bit Monday at PointsBet USA, first dropping a full point to Auburn -7, then ticking up to -7.5. The total briefly went to 48 before moving back to 47.5.


Army at (16) Cincinnati odds

Opening line
Cincinnati -11.5, Over/Under 46

Why the line moved
This line was off to the races Monday at PointsBet USA. "We got hit with quick sharp money. The line has gotten as high as -15," Eichner said in describing early play on Cincinnati, which fell back to -14 Monday evening. The total dipped to 45 Monday, then went back to 46.

UAB Blazers vs South Alabama Jaguars prediction and game preview.


UAB (1-1) vs South Alabama (1-1) Game Preview
For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM

Why UAB Will Win
UAB’s offensive line was terrific in pass protection against Miami – for the most part, considering who it was going against – and it needs to get physical in a hurry.

The South Alabama defensive front held up well for just over six quarters, but Tulane kept on battling on the ground, and things started to break through on the way to over 200 rushing yards. Star RB Spencer Brown has to take over the game right away because …

– Week 3 Expert Picks: NFL

Why South Alabama Will Win
UAB starting QB Tyler Johnston is out with a shoulder injury, and redshirt freshman Bryson Lucero is coming off a 4-of-12 day against Miami.

On the other side, can South Alabama get its running game going? It hasn’t been anything special so far, and it failed to do much in the loss to Tulane, but UAB’s defensive front got ripped to shreds in the 31-14 loss to Miami a few weeks ago.

It’ll be too easy, though, for the Jaguars to move the ball through this air, with the combination of Kawaan Baker and Jalen Tolbert good enough to push a UAB secondary that isn’t giving up a whole lot deep so far, but hasn’t been stretched yet.

– Week 4 Expert Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen
Once again, South Alabama will be pesky.

The lines have been solid so far, and the passing game will be good enough to balance out what should be a good day on the ground. However, the UAB defensive line is about to eat.

Tulane had a whole slew of problems against USA, but it lived behind the line enough to slow things down. The Blazer offense won’t be anything special, but the D will lock down in the final ten minutes to survive.
