[CNOTES]

Armadillo's Den:




Friday's six-pack


-- There are ten players on NFL rosters who played D-III college football, where the players don't get scholarships, just financial aid based on need.
-- Announcers at the Louisiana Tech-Western Kentucky game on FS1 last night were not at WKU for the game; they worked the game from the FOX studio in LA.
-- Florida Gators scored 61 points last week, are changing starting QBs this week.
-- NC State landed a terrific PG in Dennis Smith, best PG left in Class of '16.
-- Mariners 5, Rangers 0-- King Felix blanked Texas for eight innings for the win.
-- Somehow I can't picture Wellington Mara or Dan Rooney strutting across a field with the Lombardi Trophy to taunt the rest of the NFL, the way Robert Kraft did last night with his hideous imitation of Vince McMahon.


Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend.....


13) Everyone on TV is picking the Colts to win the AFC but they're only -3 in their opener at Buffalo. Why so low? Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs since 1999; their QB has never started an NFL game. I'm so confused......


12) Oregon is an underdog for the first time in their last 46 games; they whacked Michigan State 46-27 LY in Eugene. Can they win in East Lansing with a QB who played the last three years at the I-AA level?


11) How will the two rookie QBs do in the Florida heat late Sunday afternoon down in Tampa? Defensive coordinators will challenge them with a variety of blitzes.


10) Blue Jays-Bronx got rained out last night; they'll play a twinbill Saturday, as part of a 4-game series that will go long way towards determining the AL East winner.


9) Will Sam Bradford stay in one piece? He's missed 31 games out of 80 in his first five NFL seasons. If Bradford gets hurt, the Eagles QB is Mark Sanchez.


8) Did LSU getting rained out last week hurt their prep for Mississippi State this week? Their offense/defense played one series each last week against McNeese State, while MSU played a fairly tough game at Southern Miss.


7) How much will Jordy Nelson's injury hurt the Packers? Green Bay has treated the Bears like a pinata recently; will it continue Sunday in Chicago?


6) Iowa-Iowa State is an underrated rivalry; last four series games were all decided by six or less points. Hawkeyes are 3-5 in last five visits to Ames.


5) Cleveland Browns are 1-15 in season openers; they visit a Jets squad with new QB, new coach and a less-than-stellar record at home.


4) Rutgers won 41-38 at Washington State LY; Wazzu lost at home to a I-AA team last week, really needs a win here, before heading into a tough Pac-12.


3) Who will fill Demarco Murray's shoes in Dallas? Cowboys averaged 5.9 yards per carry when they ran ball on first down LY. He will be missed.


2) Memphis is a two-TD favorite at Kansas; this is sixth time Tigers have been a road favorite since 2013. From 2006-12, they were never once favored on the road. Coach Justin Fuente has done a terrific job, could be moving up the coaching ladder soon.


1) Can Denver's rebuilt OL protect immobile, 39-year old Peyton Manning?

2015 college football page


Friday's games


Since 2012, Florida Atlantic is 20-12 vs spread as an underdog; Owls (+7) lost 47-44 in Tulsa last week; they ran ball for 317 yards, were +4 in turnovers, still lost in OT. FAU (+31) lost 34-6 in only previous game with Miami, two years ago. Owls have an experienced QB. Miami hosts Nebraska next week; this game means more to FAU. 'canes are 22-32 as a home favorite the last decade- they whacked a cupcake last week.


Utah won 13 of last 14 games with Utah State (3-4 vs spread last seven); State lost last seven visits here, with four of the last five by 16+ points. Utah State is 3-5 as road dog under coach Wells, after being 14-2 when Anderson was coach. Aggies struggled mightily to beat Southern Utah 12-9 last week- Utah beat Michigan 24-17 in a national TV game-- both games were Thursday, so teams have proper rest. State's Keeton is in his sixth year as a college QB (got injury waiver LY).

Preview: Fever (18-14) at Dream (14-18)


Date: September 11, 2015 7:30 PM EDT

The only race to be decided in the WNBA's final weekend is for third place in the Eastern Conference, and the Indiana Fever still have the inside track despite their recent struggles.


The Fever could secure that spot with a win over the Atlanta Dream on Friday night and some help.


Indiana (18-14) has a one-game lead over Washington for the third spot in the East and the chance to face Chicago in the opening round of the playoffs instead of league-best New York.


The Fever haven't bolstered their hopes by losing five of six, including a 76-72 overtime defeat to Washington on Tuesday. The loss gave the Mystics the head-to-head tiebreaker and was Indiana's season-high third straight on the road.


"It was a tough loss," said guard Layshia Clarendon, who had a team-best 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting. "It felt like we had chances to put them away multiple times, and we just didn't. We wasted opportunities."


The Fever fell 90-84 at home to Atlanta on Aug. 28 during their slump but have won the past three road games in the series. They took a 90-79 win in their only other visit this season June 16.


Another victory in Atlanta on Friday and a Washington loss in New York would give Indiana the No. 3 spot in the East.


The Dream (14-18) are set to miss the playoff for the first time since going 4-30 in their inaugural 2008 campaign but don't appear content to play out the string. They've won five of seven and earned their fourth victory in five home games Wednesday by routing a short-handed Los Angeles 90-60.


Angel McCoughtry scored 23 points to help coach Michael Cooper become the league's fifth coach with 200 career wins.


McCoughtry is averaging 24.8 points on 52.2 percent shooting in her last four games, but had 11 points on 3-of-12 shooting in Indiana last month before leaving in the third quarter. Tiffany Hayes picked up her slack with a career-high 28 points.


Atlanta forward DeLisha Milton-Jones would become the league's first player to appear in 500 games if she returns from a concussion that's kept her out of the past two. Milton-Jones, who will turn 41 on Friday, surpassed Tina Thompson for the WNBA's all-time mark in the win over Indiana.

Preview: Mystics (17-15) at Liberty (23-9)


Date: September 11, 2015 7:30 PM EDT

The New York Liberty are enjoying the best regular season in franchise history.


That accomplishment might ring hollow if they come up short in the postseason again, however.


They look to continue building momentum for the playoffs Friday night as they host the Washington Mystics in a potential first round preview.


New York (23-9) won 74-64 Wednesday against Connecticut, surpassing the club's 22-12 mark from 2010 and clinching home-court advantage through the playoffs. The Liberty struggled to find traction earlier in the year, opening 4-4, and were without Epiphanny Prince for the first 10 games as she played for Russia in the EuroBasket tournament.


The team is 17-5 when Prince plays, though, and she recorded 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists against the Sun. She's shooting 57.1 percent over her last six games compared to 44.7 previously.


"We didn't start off great, we made a couple of changes as (coach Bill) Laimbeer tweaked the rotation a little bit," team president Isiah Thomas said. "We were strong enough that we could weather the storm in terms of finding the right way to play."


A league title has remained elusive for the Liberty, who lost trips to the WNBA Finals in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2002. They've only reached the conference finals twice in the last 10 years.


Laimbeer has been to the top of the mountain, winning three titles with the then-Detroit Shock. He's also guided New York to continued improvement, going 11-23 in 2013 and 15-19 last year.


"It means if you win your home games you win the championship," Laimbeer said of clinching home court. "You still have to win them. We don't get bonuses or trophies for the regular-season best record. All it does is give us the opportunity to play at home in big games. Great, we like playing at home. If we win at home we're the champions."


The Mystics (17-15) are competing for the third spot in the Eastern Conference despite a late-season swoon. They won for just the second time in eight games Tuesday with a 76-72 overtime victory against third-place Indiana, which they trail by one game. They split the season series two games apiece, so the Fever currently hold the tiebreaker with an 11-9 conference record compared to Washington's 9-11 mark.


Ivory Latta scored a season-high 25 on Tuesday.


These clubs haven't met since New York's 79-76 overtime win in Washington on July 9 after the Mystics won the season's first two meetings. The Liberty are 12-4 at home while Washington is 6-10 on the road.

[CNOTES]

Preview: Shock (17-15) at Sky (20-12)


Date: September 11, 2015 8:30 PM EDT

The Chicago Sky have already locked up home-court advantage for the first round of the WNBA playoffs.


The Tulsa Shock are also bound for the postseason, though they will begin on the road.


Both these teams will want to get through Friday night's meaningless contest without any injuries, and it may be wise for the Sky to reduce any minutes for MVP candidate Elena Delle Donne in their final home game.


Chicago (20-12) will be the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and face Indiana or Washington in the first round. The Sky are 12-4 at home to tie first-place New York for the East's best mark.


Tulsa (17-15) will be the West's No. 3 seed and face Phoenix in the first round. The Shock close the regular season Sunday with a home game against the Mercury.


With nothing at stake, it's not clear if these teams will rest anyone. Delle Donne could be a prime candidate after missing the last two games in August with a foot injury.


She has looked rusty in two games since returning, making 8 of 28 shots for 32 points. Delle Donne averages a league-high 23.3 points, ranks third in rebounding with 8.7 per game and is two 3-pointers shy of 100 for her career.


Delle Donne was spectacular with 40 points when these teams last met in a 101-93 loss at Tulsa on June 6. That marked the Shock's fourth straight win in the series.


Odyssey Sims scored 23 points to lead Tulsa while Skylar Diggins added 20, though Diggins is out for the season with a torn ACL.


The Sky also will look different from that contest since forward Erika de Souza was not with the team at that time.


De Souza will be called upon Friday to help contain Tulsa center Courtney Paris, the league's leading rebounder with 9.5 per game.


Chicago has not played since routing Seattle 93-65 on Sunday. Allie Quigley scored 17 points and Delle Donne chipped in with 13.


Sims had 27 points and seven rebounds in Tuesday's 74-64 win over San Antonio. The Shock have captured seven of their last eight.


Tulsa is the only West club with a winning record against the East at 7-4.

Preview: Sparks (14-19) at Mercury (19-13)


Date: September 11, 2015 10:00 PM EDT

With virtually nothing left to play for in the regular season, the Phoenix Mercury could choose to limit players' minutes this weekend or sit at least a couple of them out.


The Los Angeles Sparks started resting up for the playoffs in their latest game, and it's unclear if Candace Parker will sit out again Friday night at Phoenix.


The Mercury (19-13) are guaranteed the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference for their title defense and home-court advantage in their first-round matchup with Tulsa. They'll close out their schedule Sunday on the road against the Shock.


Los Angeles is the No. 4 seed and will open the postseason at Minnesota next Friday.


The Sparks (14-19) secured their league-best 15th playoff berth in 17 seasons with a 92-73 victory over Tulsa on Sunday. Parker paced her team with a season-high 33 points and career-best five 3-pointers.


Los Angeles then kept Parker, Nneka Ogwumike and Alana Beard on the bench for a 90-60 loss in Atlanta three days later. The Sparks had won six of seven.


Parker had 26 points and 10 rebounds in her only matchup with Phoenix in her self-imposed abbreviated season, a 78-68 road win Aug. 21. The Sparks had lost in each of their previous three visits to US Airways Center, including last season's playoff opener.


Los Angeles has taken both meetings since falling 94-91 in overtime July 5 on Leilani Mitchell's 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds left.


The Mercury have won their two games this month by a combined 50 points, blowing out an eliminated San Antonio team 82-52 on the road Saturday. Brittney Griner led the way with 22 points and shot 8 of 9.


Griner had 20 points in the Aug. 21 matchup, but the star center hit 40.0 percent of her shots in the first two meetings, far lower than her league-best mark of 57.0.


Ogwumike sat out that game because of concussion-like symptoms. She totaled 43 points in the first two matchups, scoring 26 to go with a season-high 19 rebounds July 5.

Preview: Lynx (22-11) at Storm (9-23)


Date: September 11, 2015 10:00 PM EDT

With their postseason fate already determined and two All-Stars nursing injuries, the Minnesota Lynx likely see their regular-season finale as a chance to ease into the playoffs.


The Seattle Storm are just trying to salvage what they can from another disappointing campaign.


Minnesota seeks a seventh straight victory in the series and second in four days Friday night when it visits Seattle.


The Lynx (22-11) wrapped up the top seed in the Western Conference for the fourth time in five seasons with Tuesday's 73-67 home victory against the Storm. Minnesota has little tangible to play for in this one with New York having already clinched the league's best record, while the Lynx are locked into a first-round matchup with fourth-place Los Angeles.


The Sparks have won 11 of their last 16 while Minnesota has been inconsistent down the stretch, dropping five of nine. The Lynx won the season series, 3-1, and have to like their chances as one of the league's most battle-tested clubs. They reached three straight WNBA Finals before losing to Phoenix a round earlier in 2014.


"We know it's (Los Angeles) a really good team," coach Cheryl Reeve told the team's official website. "It's a team that has gone through their own challenges and they've hung together and earned themselves a playoff spot and we know that's going to be a heck of a first round matchup."


Tuesday's win came without All-Stars Seimone Augustus (foot) and Lindsay Whalen (Achilles), who missed their seventh and third consecutive games, respectively. With no pressing need for them to play, neither is expected to return until the playoffs.


Maya Moore scored a team-high 20 points and added seven rebounds and five assists in their absence Tuesday.


After missing the playoffs for the first time in 11 years last season, 2015 has been another letdown for Seattle (9-23). The Storm are assured of their worst finish since a 10-22 record in 2001.


They've dropped three straight heading into their final two games, concluding Sunday against visiting San Antonio.


Seattle owns the league's second-lowest scoring offense at 70.6 points per game, while Minnesota limits opponents to 71.5, the second-fewest in the league.


As bad as the Storm have been, they still have a shot to finish above .500 at home, currently sitting at 7-8. They had won three of four there prior to an 85-67 loss to Tulsa on Sept. 3.

CFL Betting Notes - Week 12


September 8, 2015


The Labor Day Weekend marked the official start of the push towards this year’s CFL Grey Cup Playoffs and British Columbia got the ball rolling last Thursday with an unexpected 25-16 upset of Montreal as a five-point road underdog.


In the first game of three home-and-home series on the CFL’s Week 11 schedule, Saskatchewan finally snapped this season’s nine-game straight-up losing streak with a 37-19 victory against Winnipeg as a 4 ½-point home favorite on Sunday. To open Monday’s action, Hamilton jumped all over Toronto 42-12 as an 8 ½-point home favorite and Calgary grinded-out a 16-7 victory against Edmonton as a four-point home favorite to close things out.


Friday, Sept. 11


Hamilton Tiger-Cats (7-3 SU, 8-2 ATS) vs. Toronto Argonauts (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS)
Point-spread: Hamilton -4
Total: 54


Game Overview


The Tiger-Cats set the tone for this home-and-home series with first place in the East Division on the line by jumping out to a 27-1 lead at the half and they never took their foot off the gas. Zach Collaros was on fire with 400 yards passing and four touchdown throws while completing 26-of-38 attempts. Running back Ray Holley added another 84 yards on the ground as Hamilton completely dominated this game.


Toronto will have to quickly bounce back to avoid falling two games off the pace in the East. The Argonauts have now lost their last two games straight-up and they are 0-3 against the spread in their last three outings. Trevor Harris did complete 24-of-34 passes for 211 yards in the losing effort, but a costly interception and continued pressure by the Tiger-Cats’ defense kept Toronto’s offense in check the entire afternoon.


Betting Trends


Hamilton has now won the first two games of this season’s three-game series both SU and ATS with both contests staying UNDER the total. The Tiger-Cats are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games against Toronto.


Saturday, Sept. 12


Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-9 SU, 3-7 ATS) vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers (3-7 SU, 3-6-1 ATS)
Point-spread: Saskatchewan -1
Total: 51 ½


Game Overview


The Roughriders drew first blood in this two-game series behind a solid performance by quarterback Brett Smith, who is filling in as a third-string replacement. He completed 19-of-25 passes for 211 yards and a score. He also added 59 yards on the ground on seven carries. This was the first time all season that Saskatchewan’s defense held a team to fewer than 27 points.


Winnipeg turned to Brian Brohm as its starting quarterback in Sunday’s loss for the injured Drew Willy. He actually looked sharp throwing the ball by completing 21-of 26 attempts for 184 yards, but the Bombers could not make their way into the end zone through the air. He did manage to score a touchdown on the ground as part of his 22 yards rushing.


Betting Trends


The Blue Bombers have lost four of the five meetings SU on their home field and the total has gone OVER in four of the last five meetings overall.


Calgary Stampeders (8-2 SU, 3-7 ATS) vs. Edmonton Eskimos (6-4 SU, 6-4 ATS)
Point-spread: Edmonton -2
Total: 47


Game Overview


The Stampeders’ win on Monday opened-up a two-game lead in the West Division with a chance to widen the gap even more this week. Not only do the defending champions now have the best SU record in the CFL through the first 10 games, Calgary is 3-1 ATS in its last four games after failing to cover in each of their first six contests this year.


Edmonton is still in solid shape for a spot in the CFL Playoffs, but this week is basically a must-win situation to stay in the West Division race. The Eskimos continue to boast the stoutest defense in the CFL with an average of just 18.1 points allowed, but there has to be some concern on offense after averaging just 20 points over their last four outings.


Betting Trends


Calgary has now covered ATS in the last five meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in five of the last seven games. Edmonton has lost its last five home games against the Stampeders both SU and ATS.


Sunday, Sept. 13


Ottawa RedBlacks (5-4 SU, 6-3 ATS) vs. British Columbia Lions (4-5 SU, 4-5 ATS)
Point-spread: BC -3 ½
Total: 50 ½


Game Overview


The RedBlacks remain in the thick of the East Division race after winning just two games last season as a first-year expansion team. Coming off a bye week, veteran CFL quarterback Henry Burris has proven that he still has some gas in the tank with 2,504 passing yards and 10 touchdown throws while completing 68.1 percent of his 313 attempts. Defensive end Jamaal Westerman leads the team in sacks with eight, which is also tied for most in the league.


BC quarterback Travis Lulay left last Thursday’s game in the first quarter with a knee injury and John Beck made the most of the opportunity by tossing two scores as part of a 14-for 22 performance that helped pace the upset. The Lions’ defense intercepted Montreal quarterback Tanner Marsh five times to help seal the win. BC is still just 2-4 ATS over its last six games.


Betting Trends


Ottawa won the first game in this season’s series on July 4 with a 27-10 victory as a 2 ½-point home underdog. BC won both meetings last season SU and the total has now stayed UNDER in all three games.

Trends favor Ti-Cats ahead of Argos clash

If you like head-to-head trends and you like your football Canadian, you'll know that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have slight edge over the Toronto Argonauts in recent meetings.

The Tabbies have gone 4-0 against the spread in the last four meetings overall and 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings at Rogers Centre.

The teams have met twice already this season (both in Hamilton) and the Ti-cats have won 34-19 (-3.5) and 42-12 (-7.5).

Books currently have the Tiger-Cats as 3.5-point road faves for this matchup.
