NFL NEWS AND NOTES
Thursday Night Football: Texans at Colts
By Covers Staff


Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (+5.5, 40)

THE STORY: Since the Houston Texans entered the league in 2002, the road to the AFC South title has typically gone through Indianapolis. That script has finally changed this season for Houston, which has already wrapped up the division title and would like to use Thursday night's visit to the Colts as a steppingstone to even loftier goals. The Texans are still in the hunt for one of the top two seeds and a first-round bye in the playoffs, but they'll need to end a major hex by winning in Indianapolis for the first time. The Colts finally got in the win column last week with a 27-13 victory over Tennessee.

TV: NFL Network, 8:20 p.m. ET.

LINE: The Texans opened as high as 6.5-point favorites and have dropped to -5.5. The total

ABOUT THE TEXANS (10-4, 9-4-1 ATS): Houston had its seven-game winning streak snapped at home by Carolina, a loss that cost the Texans a chance to move ahead of Baltimore. WR Andre Johnson (hamstring) will sit out his third straight game, so expect rookie QB T.J. Yates to hand off liberally to RBs Arian Foster and Ben Tate. Foster has rushed for 333 yards and two TDs in two games vs. the Colts, and Tate went for 116 yards and a TD in a season-opening 34-7 win over the Colts. Yates was intercepted twice last week.

ABOUT THE COLTS (1-13, 5-9-0 ATS): Indianapolis has yielded an AFC-worst 395 points, but its defense came through with the decisive play to snap its 13-game skid when Jacob Lacey returned an interception for a touchdown against the Titans. It marked only the second time that the Colts have held an opponent under 20 points. QB Dan Orlovsky threw for only 87 yards and the Colts managed just 10 first downs, but Donald Brown rambled for a career-high 161 yards, including a clinching 80-yard touchdown run. Brown has a TD in three of his last four games.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Foster rushed for a franchise-record 231 yards against the Colts in Week 1 of the 2010 season.

2. Colts DEs Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis have 15.5 and 12.2 sacks, respectively, against the Texans – their most vs. any opponent.

3. Houston is 0-9 all time in Indy, but is 4-0 against the AFC South this season.

TRENDS:

* Over is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings.
* Over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Indianapolis.
* Colts are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.
* Texans are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games.

PREDICTION: Texans 20, Colts 17. Houston hammers away with its ground game and survives a close call to win in Indy for the first time.

Las Vegas Bowl: What bettors need to know

Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Boise State Broncos (-14, 66)

MAACO BOWL LAS VEGAS STORYLINES

1. No. 6 Boise State is back in this contest for the second straight year after once again missing out on a BCS bid. Arizona State is lucky to be anywhere after collapsing with four straight losses to end the regular season, which led to the firing of Dennis Erickson, who will coach in the bowl game.

2. Both teams have prolific quarterbacks. Boise State’s Kellen Moore (49-3) is the winningest quarterback in NCAA history and is second on the career touchdowns list with 140. Arizona State’s Brock Osweiler is a gunslinger who passed for 3,641 yards and 24 touchdowns.

3. Boise State’s pass defense ranks 25th nationally at 195.5 yards per game; Arizona State could try the long-ball route that worked well for TCU in its victory over the Broncos when the Horned Frogs had touchdown plays of 75, 74 and 69 yards. The Sun Devils rank 11th in passing offense (310.2), and Osweiler has a big-time target in Gerrell Robinson (64 receptions for 1,156 yards).

4. Boise State is 7-4 in bowl games, including last year’s 26-3 victory over Utah in Las Vegas. Arizona State is 12-11-1 and in its first bowl game since losing to Texas in the 2007 Holiday Bowl.

TV: ESPN

LINE: Boise State opened as low as -12.5 and has grown to as big as a 15-point favorite. The total has dropped from 66.5 to 65.5 at some books.

WEATHER: The sun should be out in Las Vegas, with temperatures in the low 40s. Winds will blow slightly, at 9 mph at Sam Boyd Stadium.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (11-1, 6-1 Mountain West, 4-8 ATS): The Broncos are back in Las Vegas due to the same formula that hurt them in 2010 – a weak schedule and a missed field goal. Boise State went 1-1 against the two tough teams on its schedule (Georgia and TCU) and lost to the Horned Frogs 36-35 when Dan Goodale missed a game-winning 39-yard field goal attempt. A year earlier, it was Kyle Brotzman missing two chip-shot kicks in a loss to Nevada. Moore passed for 3,507 yards and a school-record 41 touchdowns, and receiver Tyler Shoemaker caught a school-best 15 touchdowns. Doug Martin has rushed for 1,370 yards, fourth most in school history.

ABOUT ARIZONA STATE (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12, 3-8-1 ATS): The Sun Devils were cruising toward a berth in the Pac-12 title game when they were 6-2 in late October before the four-game November skid in which they allowed 144 points. The highlight of the season was a 43-22 shellacking of USC. Erickson is 31-30 in five seasons at Arizona State entering his finale. Running back Cameron Marshall (1,038) has 18 rushing touchdowns to tie the school record shared by Woody Green (1972) and Terry Battle (1996). Linebacker Vontaze Burfict (team-high five sacks) has been practicing on the second team after he finished the regular season poorly and reportedly refused to re-enter the season finale against California after being pulled.

TRENDS:

* Sun Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last seven Bowl games.
* Broncos are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 bowl games.
* Under is 5-2 in Sun Devils last seven Bowl games.
* Under is 7-2-1 in Broncos last 10 non-conference games.

PREDICTION: Boise State 45, Arizona State 23 – No telling whether the Sun Devils will be inspired for Erickson’s final game or go through the motions, but Boise State will be looking for a rout in Moore’s final game

College funds: Thursday's best NCAAB bets

Florida State Seminoles at Florida Gators (-8, 136)

This has all the makings of a classic offense vs. defense matchup.

The Gators rank fifth nationally averaging 86.1 points per game, while the Seminoles allow just 57.8 points per contest.

"We know coming in against a team like Florida State and those other (big) teams that if we don't rebound the ball, we could lose," Gators guard Erving Walker told reporters after pacing the club with 19 points in its recent blowout of Mississippi Valley State. "Their coach has them very disciplined."

The Seminoles also plan to switch up their defensive assignments a bit to combat a Gators club that fires about 60 shots per game. Florida State wants to pressure Florida’s guards high to take away the 3-point shot and force them into the paint.

Not like anybody hasn’t tried that before, but if they can pull it off, this could be close.

Pick: Seminoles

Illinois Fighting Illini at Missouri Tigers (-6, 138.5)

Illinois nearly got caught looking ahead to Missouri, escaping with a 64-60 win over Cornell on Monday as a big 16.5-point favorite. The unbeaten Tigers are the Fighting Illini's greatest test of the season.

The Tigers haven’t skipped a beat with first-year head coach Frank Haith at the helm. They rank second in the country in scoring, averaging almost 88 points per game. The Fighting Illini lead the all-time “Braggin’ Rights” series 27-14, but the Tigers have won the last two meetings.

The Fighting Illini's grind-it-out pace will be a contrast to the fast-and-furious style of the Tigers. The Fighting Illini do the most damage when feeding the ball inside to 7-footer Meyers Leonard. He scored 19 points and grabbed 18 rebounds versus Cornell, but has struggled with foul trouble at times this season.

Bradley transfer Sam Maniscalco looked like a budding floor general for Illinois earlier in the season, but is mired in a slump heading into Thursday.

Illinois may have a tough time keeping up in this one.

Pick: Tigers

[Mr. IWS]

Ice picks: Thursday’s best NHL bets

Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers (-125, 5)

Something has to give when the Minnesota Wild visit the Edmonton Oilers Thursday.

Minnesota is 0-3-2 in its last five games as the club struggles with some significant injuries, while after a fast start Edmonton has won just two of its last 11 overall.

"We're not sitting here pouting or upset at the way we played," center Kyle Brodziak told reporters. "We didn't feel we played a bad game. We're in a bit of a slump right now. But what team doesn't go through a slump during the year?"

Brodziak has a point and Minnesota may get a big boost as Mikko Koivu is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last three games with a leg injury. Koivu isn’t just the club’s captain, but also its leading scorer with 28 points this season.

That may be enough to help the Wild snap this skid.

Pick: Wild

Florida Panthers at Ottawa Senators (-110, 5.5)

The Florida Panthers may be coming off a 2-1 loss to Ed Jovanovski's former team, the Phoenix Coyotes, but the veteran defenseman sees a lot of similarities between the success his old team had and what the Cats are doing this year.

The Panthers sat tied for third in the Eastern Conference with 42 points ahead of Wednesday’s action.

"We're not going to surprise anyone anymore," Jovanovski told reporters. "This is similar to Phoenix. Everyone said we were lucky, waited for us to fall off. And we finished with 107 points. If you have structure and maintain consistency, you'll have success."

The Panthers have had a terrible time against the Senators lately, having dropped seven straight meetings between the two teams. That doesn’t persuade us to take the home team here, but we’ll take a shot with the over.

Pick: Over

[Mr. IWS]

Thursday’s betting tips: Boise bettors ignore ATS skid

Who’s hot

NFL: Houston is 6-1-1 against the spread in its last eight.

NCAAF: Boise State has covered the number in eight of its last 10 bowl games.

NHL: Buffalo has won nine of its last 12 games in Toronto.

NCAAB: Harvard has covered in nine of its last 13 home games.

NBA: Charlotte has covered in five of its last six matchups with Atlanta.

Who’s not

NFL: Indianapolis is 1-4 against the number in its last five home games.

NCAAF: Arizona State has dropped four straight against the number.

NHL: Anaheim has won just five of its last 28.

NCAAB: Illinois is 0-4 against the spread in its last four.

NBA: The over is 3-6 in the last nine meetings between Denver and Phoenix.

Key stat

33 - The Arizona State Sun Devils have allowed 33 points per game over their last six. They allowed 19 points per game over the first six games of the season.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Owen Daniels, Houston Texans – The Texans tight end remains questionable for Thursday’s game with a knee injury, though the team expects him to give it a go in warm ups. With wideout Andre Johnson already ruled out, missing Daniels could be a big loss for Houston. Daniels leads the team with 673 receiving yards.

Game of the day

Hoston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (6, 40)

Notable quotable

“I truly appreciate them. They come out with the Reggie signs, and no matter what the situation is they are always there cheering and it could be a little tough. Everybody said it would be a little emotional for me.” Indianapolis Colts wideout Reggie Wayne on Indy’s fans amid rumors that Thursday’s game against Houston could be his last home game as a Colt. The 33-year-old, who has just 59 catches and three touchdowns this season, is a free agent in the offseason.

Notes and tips

The Boise State Broncos are set as 14-point favorites against Arizona State in Thursday’s Las Vegas bowl and more than 72 percent of Covers.com Consensus bettors are backing the Broncos. Boise State has covered in eight of its last 10 bowl games, but comes into this game having dropped six straight against the number.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Bryant suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist Wednesday and is currently listed as day-to-day. However, the team hasn’t indicated whether it was a partial or a complete tear. Bryant was scheduled to sit out Wednesday’s preseason matchup with the Clippers leaving his status for Christmas Day’s season opener against Chicago in question.

Darryl Sutter will debut as the new head coach of the Los Angeles Kings Thursday at home against the Anaheim Ducks. Los Angeles fired coach Terry Murray earlier this week. Assistant John Stevens has been serving as interim coach for the past four games, going 2-2. Sutter has been out of hockey since resigning as general manager of the Calgary Flames in December 2010. He and Lombardi previously worked together in San Jose. The Kings are set as -175 favorites.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry injured his right ankle in Tuesday's exhibition game against Sacramento. Curry underwent surgery on the same foot in May. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated Wednesday after leaving the arena on crutches Tuesday night. The third-year guard was plagued by recurring ankle sprains last season, although he misses only eight games. Curry averaged 18.6 points, 5.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds last season for Golden State, which will face the Los Angeles Lakers in the season opener Sunday night.

Thursday's Best NFL Bet

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (+5.5, 40)

On the same weekend that the Green Bay Packers dropped their first game of the season, the Indianapolis Colts won their first game. Indianapolis picked up an impressive two touchdown win at home over the Tennessee Titans. Houston booked its first trip to the playoffs two weeks ago in Cincinnati. The Texans were beaten 28-13 at home by the Carolina Panthers. Can they get back on track this Thursday in Indianapolis?

Dan Orlovsky has come in and done a nice job at quarterback for the Colts. Indianapolis was getting poor quarterback play all year from Kerry Collins and Curtis Painter, but Orlovsky has been a big upgrade. Orlovsky has completed 64% of his passes during his three games as a starter. He has a quarterback rating of 85.9, which is about 20 points higher than Collins or Painter. Pierre Garcon is the Colts leading receiver this year. Garcon has 62 catches and six touchdown receptions in 2011. The most encouraging part of last week’s game for this offense was the emergence of Donald Brown in the backfield. Brown had 28 carries for 161 yards. If the Colts can continue to get the running game going, it will help them be much more competitive to finish off the year.

Indianapolis has Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis on the edges as a terrific pass rushing tandem, but the Colts defense doesn’t have too much else going for it this season. This unit has allowed 28.2 points per game. Pat Angerer has stepped up as the team’s most consistent linebacker, but the Colts need more play makers on defense.

T.J. Yates had a great first few weeks in the NFL, but last weekend is a week he’d rather forget. Yates threw no touchdowns and two interceptions in the team’s loss last week. The Texans have the second best rushing offense in the league. Arian Foster and Ben Tate have both been nearly unstoppable this season. Foster has gained 1,066 rushing yards already this season, and he has nine touchdown runs. He is also second on the team in both receptions and receiving yards. Tate has had a breakout season in the backfield as well. He is averaging a very impressive 5.5 yards per carry. Andre Johnson is listed as questionable for this game due to a hamstring injury.

The Texans defense has been superb this season. This is a secondary that ranked dead last in the league last year against the pass, but this year they have been tremendous. Johnathan Joseph was a huge acquisition in the offseason for this unit, and he has proven to be a lockdown corner this season. Brian Cushing and DeMeco Ryans form a terrific tandem of middle linebackers. This is a complete defense that has no real weakness. Houston is giving up just 16.9 points per game.

The Colts offense has been much better over the last few games. Houston should be able to move the ball quite a bit against the weak Indianapolis defense. The over is my favorite play in this one.

PICK: Over 40.5

Thursday's Best CFB Bet

Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Boise State Broncos (-14, 66)

The pre-Christmas bowl game schedule is not exactly filled with exciting matchups, but I think this game is the best of the bunch. Arizona State was inconsistent this year, but they showed what they are capable of in a pretty good PAC 12 Conference. Boise State was a missed field goal away from likely being in the BCS National Championship Game. Will the Broncos deliver another dominating bowl appearance or will the Sun Devils spoil the party?

Arizona State’s Brock Osweiler is a very good quarterback. Osweiler spreads the ball around nicely from his spot under center. He finished the season with an impressive 3,641 yards through the air. There is no clear star at the wide receiver spot for Arizona State, but the Sun Devils have a lot of depth. The team has ten players with ten or more receptions this season. Cameron Marshall is a work horse in the backfield. Marshall ran for 18 touchdowns during the regular season. Arizona State averages 34 points per contest.

The Sun Devils defense struggled with injuries this year, and it definitely showed on the field. Arizona State is missing a couple of cornerbacks, and the lack of depth at cornerback showed in a big way during the PAC 12 season. The Sun Devils allowed 271 yards per game through the air. The front seven wasn’t very good at getting after the quarterback, but they hold their own against the run.

Kellen Moore has had a brilliant four-year career at Boise State. He certainly wants to end that terrific career on a high note. Moore has piled up a ridiculous 140 touchdowns compared to just 26 interceptions in his four years under center. This season he has a career high completion percentage of 74%. He is clearly one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, and I fully expect him to put together one final great game. Boise State has a pair of great tailbacks in Doug Martin and D.J. Harper. Martin is the bruiser and Harper is the slasher. The Broncos have seven receivers with at least 26 receptions this year. Tyler Shoemaker has been the team’s big play receiver. The Broncos average 43 points per game.

Boise State’s defense took a small step back this year, but they are still a very solid unit. The front seven really struggled to put pressure on the opposing quarterback this year. The Broncos picked up just 18 sacks all season. On the positive side, this is a unit that allowed opponents to convert on only 30% of their third-down conversion attempts. They are a team that does a nice job keeping the opponent out of the end zone. This defense gave up only 18.2 points per game this year.

Arizona State already fired its coach, and I don’t think they will be able to slow down Boise State at all. Look for the Broncos to roll.
