Armadillo: Friday's six-pack

Six interesting NFL trends, with Week 14 upon us:

— Cleveland is 1-9 vs spread in its last ten divisional games.

— Rams are 1-5-1 vs spread in their last seven games.

— Falcons are 6-17 in their last 23 games as a favorite.

— Tennessee is 2-8 in its last ten games as a home favorite.

— New Orleans covered its last seven road games.

— Texans are 7-1-1 vs spread in their last nine divisional games.

**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Our bottom 5, top 8 in the NFL

32) Browns— 25 people in San Antonio voted for Gregg Popovich for President; when I heard that, i was actually surprised the number was only 25. Wish I had thought of it when I was in the voting booth; Popovich would’ve been a better choice than Gary Johnson.

31) Jaguars— Football coach Willie Taggart was making $1.8M at South Florida, left USF to go to Oregon, where he will make less than Purdue’s Jeff Brohm, who was making $800K at Western Kentucky. Brohm will make $3.3M, Taggart $3.2M.

30) 49ers— Niners are favored this week, for second week in a row. They’re 1-11.

29) Bears— At the Pearl Harbor basketball games this week (Seton Hall-Cal, Princeton-Hawai’i), a 97-year old World War II veteran played the National Anthem on a harmonica and it was tremendous.

28) Rams— If the Chargers move to the LA Coliseum next year, will they put FieldTurf down? Hosting three teams on the same field could be dicey for a natural grass field.

8) Giants— Big ballgame with the Cowboys in Swamp Stadium Sunday night. Giant defense is going to miss the injured Pierre-Paul.

7) Steelers— 13 years later, if you had to rank Eli-Big Ben-Rivers’ careers, who would be 1-2-3? They were all in the same draft.

6) Lions— Will OC Jim Bob Cooter be a head coaching candidate next month? He’s done a great job with Matthew Stafford.

5) Seahawks— Ever see Pawn Stars on the History Channel? I’ve been in that shop in Las Vegas; much smaller than it looks on TV, mostly jewelry there, but a cool place. It is worth a couple hours to look around and see if there is anything worth buying.

4) Chiefs— KC’s defense/special teams have accounted for NFL-high 49.5% of Chiefs’ points this season. By way of comparison:

2015 Broncos: 45.9%…..2000 Ravens: 46.5%…..1985 Bears: 42.1%

3) Raiders— A school district in Texas, the McKinney Independent School District, broke ground this week on a $69M football stadium. For a high school team. Oy.

2) Patriots— RIP John Glenn 95, an Astronaut/US Senator (for 25 years) who lived a great life. He was the first American to orbit the earth, and actually went up in space again in 1998, at age 77. RIP, sir.

1— Cowboys— Some team in the next couple years will draft a QB and throw him in the starting lineup right away in part because of the success Dak Prescott is having. They better have as good an offensive line as Dallas has, or else……..
