Armadillo: Friday's six-pack


NFL leaders in passing yardage:
1,856— Dak Prescott, Dal
1,843— Matt Ryan, Atl
1,786— DeShaun Watson, Hst
1,760— Carson Wentz, Phil
1,711— Josh Allen, Buff
1,699— Patrick Mahomes, KC


Americans who have died from COVID-19: 222,324
PLEASE wear a mask when you go out.




**********


Armadillo: Friday's Den: Random stuff with the weekend here


13) Eagles 22, Giants 21:
— Eagles scored two TD’s in last 4:38 to pull out this win.
— Daniel Jones had an 80-yard run; Giants ran ball for 160 yards.
— Giants lost their last five visits here, by 1-5-3-3-6 points.


— Eagles won last seven series games; five of those wins were by 6 or fewer points.
— Underdogs covered six of seven Eagle games.
— Philly survived 2nd quarter where they had ball in red zone three times, but scored only three points- they missed a 29-yard FG.


12) NFL jerked around their TV schedule for this Sunday; Seattle-Arizona moves to the Sunday night slot, Bucs-Raiders moves to 4:05, probably because Las Vegas put several players on the COVID list this week, including several offensive linemen.


11) Had this been a normal baseball season, Dodgers’ payroll would’ve been $222,115.000; Tampa Bay’s payroll would’ve been $72,489,233.


10) LSU will start true freshman QB TJ Finley this week, in place of injured starter Myles Brennan; this will be Finley’s first college start. Another true freshman QB, Max Johnson, is also expected to play some for the Bayou Bengals.


9) The Holiday Bowl will not be played this season, bowl organizers announced Thursday, citing the coronavirus situation; the Holiday Bowl had been played every year since 1978.


8) Baltimore Ravens traded a 2021 3rd-round pick and a 2022 conditional 5th-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings for Yannick Ngakoue. NFL trade deadline is November 3rd.


7) When Pac-12 starts their football season, teams will need to have 53+ players active and ready to play, with 7+ of those 53 being offensive linemen.


6) In their first four games, Buffalo Bills had 24 plays that gained 20+ yards; in their last two games, they’ve had only three plays of 20+ yards.


5) Jordan Spieth’s father is caddying for him this week at the ZoZo Championship; Spieth’s regular caddy had a death in the family and was unavailable.


4) Indiana Pacers named Nate Bjorkgren their new head coach; he spent the last two years as an assistant coach in Toronto, helping them win the 2019 title. As recently as 2007, Bjorkgren was a high school coach in Arizona.


3) It snowed in Minnesota Tuesday. On October 20. No bueno.


2) Dallas Cowboys have trailed by 17+ points at halftime in three of their four home games.


1) Appalachian State 45, Arkansas State 17:
— App State ran ball for 305 yards, outgained Ark State 521-368.
— App State converted 10-15 third down plays.
— App State had three TD plays of 46+ yards.

PLEASE wear a mask when you go out.

Quote of the Day
“It used to be that good defense beats good offense. Good defense doesn’t beat good offense anymore. It’s just like last week. Georgia has as good a defense as we do an offense, and we scored 41 points on them. That’s not the way it used to be. It used to be if you had a good defense, other people weren’t going to score. You were always going to be in the game. I’m telling you. It ain’t that way anymore.”
Nick Saban


Saturday’s quiz
How many teams have played in a Super Bowl, but have never won one?


Friday’s quiz
Four NFL teams have never played in a Super Bowl: Detroit, Cleveland, Houston, Jacksonville.


Thursday’s quiz
There are two guys in the Pro Football Hall of Fame who also won a gold medal in the Olympics; one is Bob Hayes, Jim Thorpe is the other.




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




Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..


13) Dodgers 6, Rays 2 (LA leads World Series 2-1)
— Turner homered in the first inning.
— Buehler struck out 10 Rays in six IP.
— Tampa Bay had only four hits in the game.


12) NBA came out with a surprising proposal to start the 2020-21 season a few days before Christmas, play a 72-game regular season with only a 10-week offseason. Players have to sign off on these changes, but if the league shows it is financially beneficial, why wouldn’t they?


11) NBA Draft will be a virtual draft on November 18; hopefully, they’ll show coaches/GM’s in their homes, the way the NFL did.


10) Tulsa 42, South Florida 13:
— Tulsa ran ball for 227 yards, threw for 235; they also had a defensive score.
— USF is 0-5 vs I-A teams, with four losses by 20+ points.
— Tulsa covered its first three games (2-1 SU); they haven’t played at home yet.


9) Louisiana 24, UAB 20
— UAB kicked a FG with 0:34 left in the half to go up 13-3; Louisiana ran the kickoff back 100 yards for a TD.
— UAB led 20-10 with 1:00 to go in third quarter, but was held scoreless rest of the way.
— Louisiana drove 86 yards for the winning TD with 6:35 left.


8) Wisconsin 45, Illinois 7:
— Badgers scored two TD’s in last 1:06 of first half to break game open.
— Illinois’ only TD was a defensive score in second quarter.
— Wisconsin outgained the Illini 430-218.


7) WR Antonio Brown signed with Tampa Bay; he is likely to play for the Bucs in two weeks, when Tampa Bay hosts the Saints.


6) Big West Conference announced their conference basketball schedule; they’re doing something different, not playing home/home series, but having teams visit an opponent and play on consecutive nights, with half the series at home, half on the road, to reduce travel.


For instance, Cal Poly is at Cal-Irvine Jan 22-23; Northridge visits Cal Poly Jan 29-30.


5) When Daniel Jones had his 80-yard run Thursday night, I wondered who had the longest run by a quarterback; over the last 25 years, Terrelle Pryor appears to have the longest run by a QB— he had a 93-yard TD run for the Raiders in 2013.


4) Who are the best teams in the red zone, so far this season?
Seattle 6.17 points/possession, Arizona 6.15 ppp, Tampa Bay 5.95 ppp


3) Who are the worst teams in the red zone, so far this season?
Giants 3.19 ppp, Jets 3.23, Denver 4.07


2) What NFL teams have had the most TD plays of 20+ yards?
7— Atlanta (17 TD’s overall), Seattle (23 TD’s)
6— Arizona, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh


1) What NFL teams have had the fewest TD plays of 20+ yards?
0— Colts (12 TD’s, longest TD play, 17 yards)
0— Patriots (11 TD’s, longest TD play, 11 yards)
1— Denver/Jacksonville both have one TD play of 20+ yards, on 15 TD’s.

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




Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday


13) Indiana 36, Penn State 35 OT— I could write about this game for an hour.
— Hoosiers snapped a 41-game losing skid to top 10 teams, which dated back to 1987.
— Penn State led 21-20, had the ball with 1:40 left and could’ve run out the clock, but Indiana let them score a TD and Penn State stupidly did so- take a knee, win 21-20. Then they didn’t go for 2, when that would’ve put them up 29-20 and ended the game.
— Indiana tied the game with 0:22 left in regulation.


— Both teams scored a TD in OT; when Indiana scored to make it 35-34, they went for two- their QB scrambled and appeared to be stopped short of the goal line, but the linesman called it good, replay declined to overturn the call and the Hoosiers had their upset.
— If I was James Franklin, I would’ve found the replay official after the game and given him a piece of my mind. To me, the ball hit out of bounds before it hit the pylon.


— Anyway, Penn State outgained Indiana 488-211, outrushed them 250-41. Game shouldn’t have gotten to overtime.
— Penn State had ten penalties for 100 yards, Indiana four for 36.


12) Middle Tennessee 40, Rice 34 OT— You have to find a replay of this on the Interweb; Owls tried a 45-yard FG to win the game earlier in OT, the ball hits:
— the right upright
— the crossbar
— the left upright
— the crossbar again, and bounces out, no good.


I’ve never seen that happen before; rough way to start your season- this was Rice’s first game.


11) Auburn 35, Ole Miss 28
— Rebels are only 1-4, but they’ve been fun to watch.
— Auburn threw a 58-yard TD pass with 1:11 left for the win.
— Teams combined to convert 21-32 third down plays.


Watching these games with teams that didn’t play any non-conference games, you understand why teams schedule stiffs to play before conference play begins— they get the kinks out, gain some continuity, so they don’t look terrible when conference play begins.


10) Rutgers 38, Michigan State 27
— Spartans turned ball over seven (7!!!) times; hard to win that way.
— Switching head coaches from Mark D’Antonio to Mel Tucker is not an upgrade. Tucker was 5-7 in his only season as a head coach, at Colorado LY.
— Rutgers turned ball over three times themselves; they were outgained 369-276.


9) Nevada 37, Wyoming 34 OT
— Nevada’s punter was a star of the game; had a 75-yard punt, then a 72-yarder that pinned Wyoming back on their 2-yard line. Of course, if Wyoming’s punt returner would actually catch a punt, he would’ve helped his team’s cause a lot.
— Cowboys kicked a 42-yard FG with 0:23 left to send the game to OT; freshman walk-on kicker made 4-4 field goals, while wearing a red shoe. Give the kid a scholarship; make sure he keeps using the red shoe.
— Nevada led 28-6 with 3:00 left in third quarter, before Wyoming stormed back to tie it.


— Fun to see Mountain West football on TV again; this was a wild game.
— Nevada coach Norvell lost his father earlier this week. Our condolences to him.


8) They’re building the Aztecs a new football stadium on the site of what used to be Jack Murphy Stadium, so San Diego State is playing home games in a soccer stadium in Carson, where the Chargers played home games the last few years.


7) Upsets of the Day:
— Rutgers (+11) 38, Michigan State 27
— Wake Forest (+10.5) 23, Virginia Tech 16
— Jacksonville State (+10) 19, FIU 10— Gamecocks are a I-AA team
— San Jose State (+7.5) 17, Air Force 6
— Indiana (+6) 36, Penn State 35 OT
— Purdue (+4) 24, Iowa 20
— Missouri (+3.5) 20, Kentucky 10


6) Clemson 47, Syracuse 21— Clemson was favored by 46 or 47 points, but Syracuse had the ball, down 27-21 in third quarter, before reality set in. Clemson coasted here, and star RB Etienne left with an injury.


5) Missouri 20, Kentucky 10: Random observation: Week-to week, teams are having wildly erratic performances. Mizzou outgained Kentucky 421-145 in this game, after Wildcats won their previous two games by a combined score of 58-9. Missouri ran 92 plays in this game, Kentucky ran only 36 plays.


4) North Carolina 48, NC State 21:
— Tar Heels ran the ball for 326 yards, gained 578 yards on the day.
— NC State’s receivers were terrible in this game; they’re juggling backup QB’s with the starter breaking his leg. One of the WR’s dropped an easy TD, juggling it until a defender picked it off.
— State threw the ball for 358 yards; 11 different kids caught a pass, but they were useless when the game was close.


3) If you bet first half lines in college football, you probably know that Liberty is 26-7 ATS in their last 33 first halves. Independent Flames are 6-0 SU this season.


2) This is a very 2020 thing: Army already accepted a bowl bid, to the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, where they’ll play a Pac-12 opponent.


The thing is, Pac-12 won’t even start their football season for a couple more weeks, and one of their teams’ bowl opponents has already been decided. Very unusual. Very 2020.


1) Rays 8, Dodgers 7 (series 2-2)
— Brett Phillips, with a .202 lifetime average, had the game-winning hit.
— Seager/Turner both had four hits for LA.
— There was a run scored in eight consecutive half-innings, setting a World Series record.
— This was third World Series game ever that, with today’s save rules, there were 3+ saves blown in the same game- the others were in 1960, 2011.
— Hunter Renfroe finished this game at 1B, where he had played for an entire 9 innings in his entire big league career.

College Football Odds Week 9: Opening lines
Patrick Everson


Quarterback Sean Clifford hopes to help Penn State rebound from last week's upset loss at Indiana. But it'll be a tough task against No. 5 Ohio State, which is a 12.5-point road favorite at FanDuel.


College football odds for Week 9 are on the betting board and already getting action, most notably for the lone matchup featuring two ranked teams. No. 3 Ohio State hits the road for a key Big Ten contest against No. 17 Penn State.


College football Week 9 odds


attachment.php



Michigan State at (14) Michigan odds
Opening line
Michigan -24.5, Over/Under 53.5


Why the line moved
Michigan is a monster favorite on Halloween, and in fact, the first move on this line at FanDuel was to Wolverines -25.5. However, the line reverted back to the opener of -24.5 Monday afternoon on two-way action, with 53 percent of bets on Michigan and 51 percent of money on Michigan State. The total is up to 54.5 Monday evening, with practically all the early tickets and 83 percent of early money on the Over.


(16) Kansas State at West Virginia odds
Opening line
West Virginia -3.5, Over/Under 50.5


Why the line moved
The Mountaineers remain -3.5 at FanDuel on Monday night, but the betting splits are wildly in favor of the Wildcats, as early tickets and money are both in the 9/1 range on Kansas State. The total is already down 2 points to 48.5 Monday night, with 55 percent of early bets on the Over, but more than 90 percent of early money on the Under.


Boston College at (1) Clemson Odds
Opening line
Clemson -31.5, Over/Under 60.5


Why the line moved
Another game, another massive spread for Clemson, and the line hasn't moved at all as of Monday night. The Tigers are taking 59 percent of tickets/79 percent of money, but that money is apparently so light that it's not yet moving the number. The total is up to 61.5, with practically every ticket and dollar on the Over.


(3) Ohio State at (17) Penn State odds
Opening line
Ohio State -10.5, Over/Under TBA


Why the line moved
This is the game of the week on an otherwise very nondescript schedule, and Ohio State is getting all the early attention. Penn State's 36-35 upset loss as 7-point chalk at Indiana probably has plenty to do with that, as both teams head into Week 2 of Big Ten play. The Buckeyes are already up to -12.5, landing 92 percent of bets and 97 percent of cash on the spread.


Memphis vs (7) Cincinnati Odds
Opening line
Cincinnati -6.5, Over/Under 60.5


Why the line moved
Through Monday night, this line is pinned at Cincinnati -6.5, despite point-spread tickets and money running more than 9/1 on the Bearcats. That would seem to indicate pretty light action at FanDuel thus far. The total dropped in a big hurry Monday, from 60.5 to 55.5 before rebounding to 56.5, with 60 percent of bets on the Over, but 69 percent of money on the Under.


Texas at (6) Oklahoma State odds
Opening line
Oklahoma State -2.5, Over/Under 57.5


Why the line moved
Oklahoma State looks to stay unbeaten, and early action at FanDuel leans toward the Cowboys, who are up to -3.5 and attracting 67 percent of bets and 56 percent of money on the spread. The total is up a point to 58.5, with nearly every ticket and dollar on the Over through Monday night.


Central Florida at Houston odds
Opening line
Houston +3.5, Over/Under 77.5


Why the line moved
FanDuel opened Central Florida -3.5 on the road and is down to -2.5, though ticket count and dollars bet are running about 8/1 on the Knights. The first move on the total was down a point to 76.5, but it's now up to 78.5, with tickets and money in the 9/1 range on the Over.


LSU at Auburn odds
Opening line
Auburn +2.5, Over/Under 62.5


Why the line moved
Perhaps surprisingly, neither defending national champion LSU nor Auburn are ranked heading into this SEC clash. LSU ticked up to -3.5 a couple of times Monday at FanDuel, but the line is back at the opener of -2.5 Monday night, despite a ticket count of 4/1 and nearly all the money on the Tigers. The total is up a point to 63.5, but FanDuel didn't have early betting splits.


Mississippi State at (2) Alabama odds
Opening line
Alabama -31.5, Over/Under 62.5


Why the line moved
The second-ranked Crimson Tide initially moved to -32.5 at FanDuel, but are down to -30.5 Monday night. Point-spread ticket count is almost dead even, although 73 percent of early money is on Alabama. The total is up two points to 64.5, with early tickets more than 8/1 and early money more than 9/1 on the Over.


(5) Georgia at Kentucky odds
Opening line
Kentucky -15.5, Over/Under 44.5


Why the line moved
This line bounced around a bit early at FanDuel, dipping to Georgia -13.5 and back to the opener of -15.5, before settling at -14.5. The total is down two points to 42.5. FanDuel didn't have betting splits available Monday night.

Quote of the Day
“The only motive was that the lineup the Dodgers feature is as potent as any team in the league. I felt Blake had done his job and then some. Mookie [Betts] coming around the third time through, I value that. I totally respect and understand the questions that come with [the decision]. Blake gave us every opportunity to win. He was outstanding.”
Kevin Cash, trying to explain why he took Blake Snell out Tuesday


Thursday’s quiz
Who was the Carolina Panthers’ QB the first time they played in a Super Bowl?


Wednesday’s quiz

Tuesday’s quiz
Oakland/LA/Las Vegas Raiders haven’t won a road playoff game since 1980; they got their last road playoff win against the Chargers in San Diego.




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




Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….


13) First of all, thanks to all the MLB/NBA players (NHL too, but I don’t want watch much hockey) for entertaining us for the last several months. 2020 has been a cruddy year, and while I know pro athletes make a boatload of money, they put up with unusual circumstances and put on a good show for us this season. Their efforts are appreciated.


12) NBA’s revenue dropped 10% to $8.3B for the 2019-20 season amid losses because of the coronavirus pandemic. Losses included $800M loss in gate receipts and a $400M loss in sponsorships and merchandise.


Losses also included $200M in deemed “net negative impact” from a months-long splintering of a partnership with China, after then-Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted something about Hong Kong that ticked off the Chinese government.


11) Speaking of Morey, he lands on his feet in Philadelphia, where he will be named president of basketball operations, with Elton Brand staying on as GM of the 76ers.


An educated person told me that he thinks the Sixers will play Ben Simmons inside at the 5 (center), where he will be a superior passer.


10) Utah Jazz are being sold for $1.6B, so while NBA revenues are down, owning an NBA team is still a good thing.


9) If travel between US and Canada still isn’t allowed by the time the NBA season starts, then Kansas City is pushing to be the temporary home of the Toronto Raptors.


There was a time when Kansas City had an NBA team; the Kings later moved to Sacramento.


8) Sunday night’s Seattle-Arizona game was the 14th NFL game since 1988 where both teams gained 500+ total yards.


7) Wisconsin Badgers have 12 COVID positives, their game with Nebraska this week has been cancelled. Badgers’ head coach and two of their QB’s tested positive over the weekend.


6) National League has now won seven of the last 11 World Series.


5 LA Rams changed kickers Tuesday; Sam Sloman was told to take a hike, and Kai Forbath is the new kicker.


4) There are rumors floating around that Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence may stay in college for his senior season, instead of going to the NFL, if the Jets wind up with the #1 pick.


Thing is, Jets have a bunch of high draft picks coming up, and figure to get more if they deal Sam Darnold; they may not be terrible for much longer.


3) I stumbled upon the movie Brian’s Song the other night, the 1971 original with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams. Great movie, sad movie, the true story of the friendship between two running backs on the Bears, Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo.


I was 10 years old when it first aired on ABC’s Tuesday Night Movie; first movie that made me cry. If you see it on your TV listings, it is well worth watching.


2) Tuesday night, top of the 4th inning, and FOX does an interview with Kevin Cash while the game is going on; WHY?!?!?!? It is the bleeping World Series and you’re bothering a manager to do a nonsensical interview. Maybe if they asked him if he was going to stupidly remove his pitcher after 73 pitches, then maybe the interview would’ve made sense.


Speaking of Blake Snell, last time he finished the 6th inning was 20 starts ago, back in July 2019. But he was rolling Tuesday night; it was almost like they wanted to take him out.


1) Case Keenum is the backup QB in Cleveland this year; I’m hoping he writes a book someday, because he’s had an interesting career:


2007-11— Keenum was a 4-year starter for the Houston Cougars; he threw for 19,217 yards and 155 touchdowns. They retired his number.
2012— Keenum wasn’t drafted, but made the Houston Texans’ practice squad.
2013— Went 0-8 as the Texans’ starter.


2014— Bounced between St Louis/Houston, going 2-0 as the Texans’ starter.
2015-16— Went 7-7 as starter for the Rams, as they moved from St Louis to Los Angeles; he was 4-5 as Rams’ starter in 2016, before he got benched in favor of rookie Jared Goff.
2017— Went 11-3 as the starter in Minnesota; they pulled off a late-game miracle and beat the Saints 29-24, then lost 38-7 to the Eagles.


2018— Went 6-10 as the starter in Denver- they lost their last four games.
2019— Went 1-7 as the starter in Washington; was benched for rookie Dwayne Haskins.
2020— Is now Baker Mayfield’s backup in Cleveland.

Three-Headed Monster vs. the Field


Clemson wasn't as dominant vs. Syracuse at home, but it's not easy to hang 73-burgers on a weekly basis. Dabo Swinney was a bit lame for my taste in his post-game presser, but we don't punish teams for that, nor do we downgrade for non-covers when they're laying North of 45 points.


Although Alabama coasted to another win and my pick-pack purchasers were advised of multiple winners (that don't show up on my overall record on VI), including the Crimson Tide -6.5 or 7 in the first quarter, -12.5 in the first half and the Tide's team total 'over' 23.5 in the first half, it's 14th consecutive win over Tennessee came at a high price.


One of the nation's most explosive players in WR Jaylen Waddle was lost to a season-ending ankle injury. Fortunately for Nick Saban's club, it remains loaded at the WR positions.


It took a minute for Ohio State to get going, but the Buckeyes nonetheless covered a big number in a season-opening home win over Nebraska.


Georgia and Florida stood pat at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, after open dates.


Oregon, which still hasn't started playing, replaces Penn State at No. 6.

The Nittany Lions lost a heartbreaker at Indiana in overtime by inches (or perhaps less than one-half inch?), dropping them to No. 14. Perhaps that downgrade is a tad harsh, but PSU can get right Saturday vs. Ohio State and immediately propel back into the Top 10. By the way, the Hoosiers break into our Top 25 at No. 16.


The rest of the Top 10 looks like this (in order): No. 7 Texas A&M, followed by Wisconsin, Oklahoma State and Michigan.


The Aggies were off this past weekend, but the Badgers looked great in a 45-7 home win over Illinois. The Illini got its only points on a scoop-and-score from its defense. With Jack Coan out, redshirt freshman QB Graham Mertz went off with incredible numbers and provided head coach Paul Chryst with one of "those good problems' to consider when Coan is ready to return from a foot injury.


Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State squad picked up a huge home win over Iowa State to stay undefeated and take sole possession of first place in the Big 12, while Michigan posted a double-digit road win at Minnesota.


Our next five from 10-15 are No. 11 Kansas State, which easily covered in a blowout win over KU, followed by Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Penn State and BYU.


Why a downgrade on the Fighting Irish after a blowout win at Pitt?


Well, for starters, Panthers QB Kenny Pickett, who was tops in the nation in passing yards before missing a Week 7 game at Miami, didn't play again. Furthermore, Notre Dame's five opponents have a combined record of 6-22 vs. FBS competition.


Cincinnati put together its most impressive performance of the season, trouncing previously-unbeaten SMU by a 42-13 count as a short road underdog. The Bearcats are No. 17 in front of Miami, North Carolina and USC. After an open date, Arkansas remains at No. 21 and can get over .500 (although the Hogs should be 3-1 if not for that controversial loss at Auburn on a blown call) and make a big splash with a win Saturday as a double-digit underdog at Texas A&M.


Virginia Tech fell to No. 22 after losing at Wake Forest.


LSU had to play a true freshman QB in TJ Finley, yet it still put up 52 points and prevented South Carolina from winning a third consecutive game. Texas is No. 24 and Boston College joins the fray at No. 25 after destroying Georgia Tech as a 3.5-point home favorite.
