Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

— Bills fired Rex Ryan Tuesday, benched Tyrod Taylor for the season finale. Not sure how the GM kept his job, but somehow he did.

— I highly recommend the Burger Lounge in the Aria casino. Tremendous bacon burger.

— Northwestern 87, Penn State 77— Big road win for the Wildcats.

— Wake Forest 34, Temple 26— It is easier when the other team doesn’t have your plays.

— Kent State 63, Texas 58— Horrible home hoop loss for the Longhorns.

— Michigan State 75, Minnesota 74 OT— Gophers couldn’t get good look at end of regulation or end of overtime; a bitter loss for Richard Pitino.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: My top 13 NFL teams……

13) Broncos— Curious to see who plays QB for the Broncos next season; I’m guessing it is someone who is not currently on their roster.

12) Texans— Won division title with JJ Watt missing the whole season; not bad.

11) Redskins— Can you imagine if Green Bay and Detroit tie Sunday night? People in our nation’s capital are not going to be very happy.

10) Dolphins— Can’t wait to bet under on their 2017 over/under win total.

9) Seahawks— Need to improve their offensive line this winter/spring.

8) Packers— It is basically impossible to overpay a guy like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady, thats how much they mean to a $1B business.

7) Giants— I see Scott Linehan doing so well as OC in Dallas and Steve Spagniolo’s defense playing well in New Jersey, then I remember how terribly they did as head coach of the Rams. Timing is everything in life.

6) Steelers— I really liked their all-black uniforms they wore Christmas night.

5) Raiders— Derek Carr’s injury is just very unfortunate for a team having a great year.

4) Chiefs— Still unsure what that lineman’s TD pass was all about Sunday night, but they aggravated Denver, now they need help from the Broncos this week to win AFC West title.

3) Falcons— Falcons/Braves are both getting new stadiums next year; why?

2) Patriots— Since 2000, the AFC East has had 24 different head coaches; the Patriots have had one, other three teams 23.

1) Cowboys— Pounded Detroit in a game they didn’t even need. Impressive.
