Six most popular picks for Week 8 in the Westgate Super Contest:

6) Dallas Cowboys, -2 (745)- W

5) Los Angeles Chargers, +7 (746)- L

4) Atlanta Falcons, -4.5 (766)- W

3) Seattle Seahawks, -5.5 (797)- L

2) New Orleans Saints, -9 (801)- L

1) Carolina Panthers, -2 (745)- W

Season record of top 6 picks: 18-30

**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Sunday……

13) Seahawks 41, Texans 38— Both teams averaged over 10 yards/pass attempt, Watson threw for 402 yards and four TD’s- he ran for 63 yards, but it wasn’t enough. Wilson threw for 451 yards in a wild game where four WR’s caught 100+ yards worth of passes.

Seattle scored the winning TD with 0:21 left. Houston threw at Richard Sherman and scored 38 points; curious to see if other teams try that more- other teams don’t have DeAndre Hopkins.

12) Steelers 20, Lions 15— Detroit gained 482 yards but lost- that is the 3rd-highest yardage total in NFL history without scoring a touchdown in that game. Lions had the ball five times in the red zone- they kicked three FG’s, lost ball on downs twice.

Matthew Stafford is really good, but now he is 54-62 in his 9th NFL season- he hasn’t missed a start since 2010, but has played in only three playoff games (0-3)- his head coaches have been Jim Schwartz and Jim Caldwell. Safe to say that Detroit is wasting his prime.

11) Vikings 33, Browns 16— USC-Arizona State game ended at 2:20am here in the east. Just when I was going to bed, discovered live golf on TV from…..I don’t know where the hell it was but it was live so I watched it, eliminating any chance of me getting out of bed at 9:30 to watch the Cleveland Browns play.

If I owned the Browns, I’d demand to know why we didn’t draft Deshaun Watson, then when I got my answer, I’d fire the person/people who decided not to draft him.

10) Patriots 21, Chargers 13— Bolts’ WR Travis Benjamin caught a TD pass, but he also had one of the worst punt returns in NFL history, losing 11 yards on a return that resulted in a safety for New England that put the Patriots up 9-7 early n the 2nd quarter.

New England scored only one TD, but they kicked four FG’s and won their 4th straight game.

9) Cowboys 33, Redskins 19— Washington’s offensive line is decimated by injuries; they had three new starters on the line in this game and were playing on a short week, after losing to the Eagles Monday night.

Dallas ran the ball for 169 yards on a miserable, rainy night- they were +2 (3-1) in turnovers.

8) Arizona 59, Washington State 38— Stats for Wazzu’s two QB’s in their upset loss Saturday:

Luke Falk 13-23, 93 yards, one TD
Tyler Hilinski 45-61, 509 yards, 2 TD’s, 4 INT

A kid who DIDN’T START the game threw 61 passes. Meanwhile, Arizona ran 51 plays the whole game, but for 584 yards.

7) Saints 20, Bears 12— Chicago TE Zach Miller caught what appeared to be a TD pass and then tore up his leg— he was writhing in pain in the end zone, but replay review overturned the call— FOX analyst Dean Blandino was surprised to say the least that it wasn’t a TD.

Who knew that eight weeks into the season, the New Orleans defense would be a strength?

6) Falcons 25, Jets 20— Jets are 3-5, lost close games the last three weeks; they haven’t trailed at halftime since Week 2.

Much of this game was played in a driving rainstorm; Falcons are a dome team that relies on speed/passing, but they overcame an 11-yard deficit in field position to snap its 3-game losing skid. Atlanta outgained the Jets by 107 yards; Gang Green led 17-13 at halftime.

5) Bills 34, Raiders 14— Buffalo was +4 in turnovers, had a 14-yard edge in field position- thru seven games, they are now +14 for the season in turnovers. Week 2 in Carolina was the only game this season where the Bills didn’t win the turnover battle (0-0). Say what you want about Tyrod Taylor, but he doesn’t screw games up by turning the ball over.

Oakland lost five of its last six games, including its last three on the road.

4) Bengals 24, Colts 23— Indy scored a TD, kicked three FG’s on four red zone drives; they had the ball with 7:00 left and a 23-17 lead, but Carlos Dunlap picked off a swing pass foe the winning pick-6, as the Colts lost their third game in a row.

Indianapolis is 2-6; their offense has had 91 drives this season, scoring 13 TD’s- they’ve given up five TD’s to opposing defenses.

3) Eagles 33, 49ers 10— Someone explain to me why the 49ers fired Jim Harbaugh- they lost last two games by a combined score of 73-20, are playing a kid at QB who wasn’t even good at Iowa. Niners are 7-32 since they let Harbaugh walk.

2) Panthers 17, Buccaneers 3— Tampa Bay turned ball over three times (-2), averaged 4.7 yards/pass attempt— this is a team with Mike Evans/DeSean Jackson at WR, they should never score 3 points in a game. Ever. Bucs have now lost four games in a row— not sure if QB Winston is the problem, but if you watched Hard Knocks this summer, you know the coach/GM expected to be a hell of a lot better than 2-5.

1) Astros 13, Dodgers 12 (10)— Possibly the strangest major league game ever played, no doubt the craziest postseason game ever. Took over five hours to play; Alex Bregman got the winning hit.

When the Dodgers were up 4-0 with Kershaw on the mound, if you wanted to bet on LA via in-game wagering at that point, you needed to lay $1,500 to win $100. Dodgers took Kershaw out after 4.2 innings with a 7-4 lead and two men on, and it cost them.

Astros led 12-9 in ninth inning, blew that lead; crazy game with lot of bad pitching. Series heads to LA with Houston leading 3-2 and Justin Verlander pitching Game 6 Tuesday.
