Friday’s 6-pack
MLB leaders in pitching strikeouts:
67— Spencer Strider Atl/Kevin Gausman Tor
66— Shohei Ohtani, LAA
64— Zac Gallen, Ariz
62— Pablo Lopez, Mini
58— Gerrit Cole NYY/Shane McClanahan, TB
57— Framber Valdez, Hst

Quote of the Day
“Raiders and Chiefs, that just sounds like a football game, it sounds like Christmas. Maybe we can get a little weather in Kansas City, get some snow. A few hours later in Philadelphia, same thing. Santa Claus going back to Philly, I’m sure he can’t wait for the Giants-Eagles game. And once Lamar Jackson re-signed with the Ravens I think we felt even better about putting the Ravens in national television windows and so you get a game like Ravens-49ers to backstop a tripleheader.”
NFL scheduling guru Mike North

Friday’s quiz
When Atlanta Braves’ owner Ted Turner managed his team briefly in 1977 during a bad slump, what uniform number did he wear?

Thursday’s quiz
Weeb Ewbank was the first head coach, other than Vince Lombardi, to win the Super Bowl. He coached the Jets in Super Bowl III.

Wednesday’s quiz
LA Rams’ owner Stan Kroenke also owns the NBA’s Denver Nuggets.

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

Friday’s Den: Quick thoughts on the 2023 NFL schedule

Before I start, thanks to Ken Thomson for having me on his excellent radio show Thursday; it is always fun and an honor to chop it up with one of the best in the business.

— Aaron Rodgers’ Jets get five primetime games, plus the Black Friday game in November against the Dolphins— that game is a 3pm local time kickoff, the day after Thanksgiving.

— Cardinals, Colts, Falcons, Texans do not have any primetime games scheduled; the NFL’s schedule team doesn’t have high hopes for these teams.

— Thanksgiving tripleheader:
Packers @ Detroit
Commanders @ Dallas
49ers @ Seattle

— Christmas tripleheader:
Raiders @ Kansas City
Giants @ Philadelphia
Ravens @ San Francisco

— In Weeks 2-3, there are two games on Monday night:
Week 2: Saints @ Carolina, Browns @ Pittsburgh
Week 3: Eagles @ Tampa Bay, Rams @ Cincinnati

— Division rival Cowboys-Giants meet in Week 1 for 7th time in the last 12 years.

— There are conference final rematches, but both are later in the season; 49ers travel to Philadelphia in Week 13; the Bengals go to Kansas City on New Year’s Eve in Week 17.

— Deshaun Watson’s Cleveland Browns visit Houston, Watson’s old home, on Christmas Eve in Week 16.

— The two New Jersey teams visit Las Vegas on consecutive weekends in November; Giants visit the Raiders in Week 9, Jets visit in Week 10.

Raiders’ defensive coordinator Patrick Graham was with the Giants two years ago, got passed over for their head coaching job when Big Blue hired Brian Daboll.

— Over is 11-0 in the Lions’ last 11 season openers; over is 7-0-1 in Kansas City’s last eight.

Last 20 years, the defending Super Bowl champ is 11-6-3 ATS in Week 1 the next year.
Last 20 years, the Super Bowl loser is 4-16 ATS in Week 1 the next year.

— Baltimore Ravens have three divisional games in the first five weeks; they’ve got only one divisional game in December. Lamar Jackson missed their last six games last year, their last four games the year before.

— Buffalo Bills have three consecutive primetime games in Weeks 8-10.

— New Orleans Saints play their five AFC opponents in the season’s first eight weeks; they also don’t have any cold weather games, unless November 5 in Chicago turns nasty.

— Detroit Lions have four primetime games, plus their traditional Thanksgiving game; high expectations for a team that hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991.

— This is the first time since 2016 that Jacksonville is favored in its road opener.

— NFL Week 1 pointspreads:
Lions +7 @ Kansas City
Bengals -2.5 @ Cleveland
Buccaneers +5.5 @ Minnesota
Panthers +1.5 @ Atlanta

Jaguars -3.5 @ Indianapolis
49ers -2.5 @ Pittsburgh
Texans +9.5 @ Baltimore
Titans +3.5 @ New Orleans

Cardinals +5.5 @ Washington
Packers +3 @ Chicago
Raiders +4 @ Denver
Eagles -3.5 @ New England

Dolphins +3 @ LA Chargers
Rams +4.5 @ Seattle
Cowboys -2.5 @ NJ Giants
Bills -2 @ NJ Jets

Saturday’s 6-pack
MLB leaders in pitching on-base %age:

.444— Luis Arraez, Minn
.437— LaMonte Wade, SF
.434— Ronald Acuna, Atl
.430— Ian Happ, Chi
.428— Brent Rooker, A’s
.425— Anthony Rendon, LAA

Quote of the Day
“To be fair I think this team ultimately maxed out. We were barely in the playoff picture most of this year … This is not a championship team.”
Golden State coach Steve Kerr

Saturday’s quiz
Who was the Lakers’ coach, last time they won an NBA title?

Friday’s quiz
When Atlanta Braves’ owner Ted Turner managed his team briefly in 1977 during a bad slump, he wore uniform number 27.

Thursday’s quiz
Weeb Ewbank was the first head coach, other than Vince Lombardi, to win the Super Bowl. He coached the Jets in Super Bowl III.

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

Saturday’s Den: Wrapping up a busy Friday…….

Lakers 122, Warriors 101
Lebron James gets to his 12th conference final; his team was 10-1 in first 11.
Curry/Thompson shot a combined 6-26 on the arc.
Lakers outscored Golden State 31-10 on foul line.

Heat 96, Knicks 92
Knicks were minus-7 in the 3:00 Jalen Brunson sat out.
Teams combined to shoot 17-62 on the arc.
Heat plays the Philly-Boston winner in East final.

— Celtics beat Philly by 9 Thursday night; they were +10 in the 8:00 Tyrese Maxey was off the floor. 76ers need another shooter to step up Sunday, while Maxey is on the bench.

— When the media votes for NBA MVP, they pick their top five choices; ESPN TV analyst Mark Jackson left Nikola Jokic completely off his list, which is hard to believe. He claimed that he completely forgot about Jokic and he apologized.

— Good night of baseball Friday; in 9 of the 15 games, the game-winning run scored from the 7th inning on.

New York 6, Tampa Bay 5
Rays lost 3 of last 4 games, and put P Rasmussen on 60-day IL.

Orioles 6, Pirates 3— Cedric Mullins hit for the cycle.

A’s 9, Texas 7— Brent Rooker hit a walk-off, 3-run homer as Oakland improves to 9-31; the weird thing is, despite being 9-31, they’ve won Ken Waldichuk’s last four starts.

Cardinals 8, Boston 6— Nolan Gorman hit the game-winning homer in the ninth inning.

Dodgers 4, Padres 2— Betts/Freeman hit back/back taters in the 7th inning.

Angels 5, Guardians 4— Halos scored twice in the ninth inning for the win.

Blue Jays 1, Braves 0— Chris Bassitt with the rare complete game shutout.

— In college basketball, Western Illinois jumps from the Summit League to the Ohio Valley; it is an easier league and the travel will be a lot less.

— New Mexico gave coach Richard Pitino a contract extension thru 2028, worth $1.2M a year.

— Pitino’s father, Hall of Famer Rick Pitino signed former Penn guard Jordan Dingle, the Ivy League Player of the Year. Dingle scored 23.4 ppg this past season, 2nd in the country.

— Denver Broncos have had six straight losing seasons, their worst stretch since 1963-72; that is why they signed coach Sean Payton to right the ship.

— Kansas City Chiefs are favored in all their games this season, the only team that is right now; Arizona Cardinals are only team that is an underdog in all their games.
