LAS VEGAS -- And then there were eight ...The Friday Football Showdown at the Golden Nugget is down to the eight quarterfinalists that qualified for its head-to-head playoffs. The contest, which is in its second year of being open to the public, drew a field of 96 entrants at $2,000 apiece. Participants made seven plays per week (NFL and NCAA sides and totals were used) for the first eight weeks and then nine plays each of the last two weeks.RoughRider39, a longtime advantage player and consistent top player in Las Vegas contests, finished with the best record at 50-22-2 (69.4 percent) for 51 contest points, as 1 point is awarded for each win and half a point for each push. FrankyP finished at 49.5 points, followed by @LasVegasCris & The D Las Vegas at 48 and then Hells Kitchen, Anthony Curtis and Mucked Nuts tied for fifth place at 47.5.The eighth spot in the playoffs goes to the winner of what the Golden Nugget called the Wild-Card Chase with the best record in Weeks 9-10. @LasVegasCris went 15-3 and FrankyP was 13-3-2 over the last two weeks, but since they already qualified, the last spot went to BBQ Guy, who went 13-4-1 to just edge out Big Lib (9-0 in Week 9 but only went 4-5 in Week 10 to finish 13-5).Each of the playoff qualifiers earns $3,000 to guarantee they all make a profit for the $192,000 contest, but now their records are wiped clean for the head-to-head matchups that will be held over the next four Fridays (thus the Friday Football Showdown name) on The Las Vegas Sportsline radio show with co-hosts Matt Youmans and Dave Cokin from 2-3 p.m. PT on ESPN AM 1100 here in Vegas and online at lvsportsnetwork.com. All entrants had to agree to appear on the radio show if they made the playoffs or designate a substitute to give out their plays. The only advantage for the top regular-season finishers is they get to choose (in seeding order) which weekend they want to compete. The Golden Nuggets Tony Miller and Aaron Kessler worked Tuesday to contact the qualifiers and here are the quarterfinal matchups:Nov. 18: No. 4 Derek Stevens vs. No. 5 Nancy Clark Nov. 25: No. 1 Randy McKay vs. No. 8 Michael Wright Dec. 2: No. 2 Frank Perez vs. No. 7 Christopher Kozak Dec. 9: No. 3 Cris Zeniuk vs. No. 6 Anthony CurtisThe quarterfinal winners will each win another $2,000 and advance to the semifinals on Dec. 16 and 23. The championship match is slated for Friday, Dec. 30. The remaining $160,000 is split up with $96,000 to the eventual champion (for a total haul of $101,000), $40,000 to the runner-up, $8,000 each to the semifinal losers and $8,000 to the winner of a bonus mini-contest held in NFL Weeks 15-17 for all contestants (even those eliminated earlier).SuperContest getting crowded at the topBy this time of the NFL season, the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest usually has one or two players that have pulled away from the field. However, after 10 weeks there are five SuperContestants tied for first place with another nine within one game of the lead.Early-season leader Ripsaw has been able to stick around and is 32-15-3 (68.1 percent) for 33.5 points and tied with Johnny Vegas, Janknation, Mark Davis and Underdobs. Ripsaw was 0-3 this past weekend before winning with Seattle +7.5 on Sunday night and Cincinnati +2 on Monday night to maintain a portion of the lead.A record 1,854 entrants are in the SuperContest this year. They paid $1,500 to enter and make five NFL plays a week against the contest spread while playing for more than $2.5 million in prizes (after an administrative fee of 8 percent was taken out) and a first-place prize of $895,482 with payouts to the top 50.The top five consensus picks went 0-5 last week and are a woeful 15-33-2 (31.3 percent) through 10 weeks. Those plays are often the games that are off by the most points between the time the weekly lines are locked in on Wednesday afternoons and the deadline for picks at 11 a.m. PT Saturday, but those popular plays have been struggling all season. The overall consensus of all Week 10 games was 3-11 ATS (21.4 percent) and is just 63-79-3 (44.4 percent) for the season to date to hold down most records.In fact, the five co-leaders are the only players left that are over the 67-percent threshold that the Westgate splits among those that exceed that mark at the end of the season. Since the explosion of the SuperContest field started in 2011, the bonus has been paid out every year, but that streak is in jeopardy this season. The SuperContest also has a $20,000 mini-contest over the last three weeks on the NFL schedule.Demarcus Robinson Jersey .

LeSean McCoy Jersey .Y. - Nelson Mandela will be honoured by the New York Yankees with a plaque in Monument Park.They are trying a new concept in Nashville these days -- meaningful NFL games in December.When the Titans host the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Nissan Stadium (1 p.m. ET, CBS), Tennessee will do so as part of a three-way tie for first place in the AFC South. It enters with a 6-6 mark, the same record as the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts, who meet this week.The last time Tennessee had more than a mathematical chance to make the playoffs at this stage of the season was 2011, when it finished 9-7 and missed out on the second wild card. The Titans stumbled to an 18-46 record the past four years, playing for nothing but pride down the stretch.Titans coach Mike Mularkey noticed a different feeling around his team this week as compared to last year, when he served as interim coach after the firing of Ken Whisenhunt at midseason.You can tell by the way we practiced today, the way we practiced Monday, Mularkey said after practice Wednesday. You can tell its a different mindset. Its a much more fun atmosphere and a lot more energy in the building. Its important football. They understand that.So does the team on the other sideline. Denver is practiced in the art of playing big games. After all, it did win the Super Bowl in February, and at 8-4, the Broncos would own the AFCs second wild card if the playoffs started this week.However, Denvers 8-4 record is good for only third place in the AFC West, thanks to the Oakland Raiders best season since 2002 and another good year for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos have little room for error down the stretch with a finishing schedule that includes the New England Patriots, a visit to the Chiefs on Christmas night and a season-ender with the Raiders.Making things more problematic for Denver is the uncertainty at quarterback. Trevor Siemian missed the Broncos 20-10 win in Jacksonville last week due to a foot injury. He was limited at practice this week, leaving rookie Paxton Lynch to take the first-team reps.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said a decision regarding Siemian might be made on Saturday.I think its me watching him come out of practice today more than anything, Kubiak said after Fridays session. See how he feels tomorrow, soreness, those types of things.Lynchs first NFL win wasnt exactly storybook, as he completedd just 12 of 24 passes for 104 yards against a defense no one has compared with the 1985 Bears.dddddddddddd. But he at least avoided turnovers, which was all the Broncos needed against pick-six machine Blake Bortles.He didnt turn the ball over and didnt put us in bad situations, Denver wide receiver Demaryius Thomas said of Lynch. It was a tough one for him. We put him in a situation where we needed a must-win.Whoever plays under center could have opportunities to make plays downfield against a shaky secondary that made Matt Barkley look like Joe Montana during the fourth quarter of Tennessees 27-21 win in Chicago two weeks ago.The Titans responded by cutting starting cornerback Perrish Cox, who struggled to cover receivers all year.
