Another season in the books!

And a reasonably decent season it was at that – even though the NFL can’t seem to get officiating right, and a massive (and growing) number of fans are simply abject idiots. 

Went in to the final game up 3.1 units. I took the Chiefs plus the points. 4.1. I liked the Niners outright but the money line wasn’t sweet enough. The total line was 47 1/2 and I took the under. JUST slid under it. 5.1 units for the playoffs. 6.1 If you count the o/u on Tay Tay sightings it goes to 7.1. Maybe I’ll have to free up some shekels next season.

Enjoy the off season (wait – there IS no off season!)

I was up 2.2 going in to the ‘ships

Took the Ravens -3+ and the Under 44+. Split. 2.1

Lions managed to cover the 3 1/2. Put’s me at 3.1

Line opened at SF -2 and has since been bet to -4.5. Think I’ll take the Chiefs plus the points on that one. I do like the Niners win but they’re laying -218. Nothing good on that money line. And the O/U has stayed steady at 47+. Two powerful offenses, right? Give me the Under! 

Niners 24, Chiefs 23.

Conference ‘ships

ohiohedgehogLeave a comment

Ravens -9+. Reasonably easy cover. +1 for the week, 3+ for the month.

Packers +9+, under 50+. Won em BOTH. +3/5+.

Lions/Bucs under 48+. Missed it by that last TD. +1.9/4.4

Take the Bills and lay the 2+ and take the under 45. Tell me again kickers don’t matter. -.3/2.2.

Coming up? Ravens -3+, 44+, -185. And Niners -7, 50+, -320.

I’ll take the Ravens and lay the 3+. Skip the money line. And I’ll lean on the under.

And on the other side I’m thinking the Lions find a way to cover, skip the money line and I think the under is the way to bet but it is WAY too close. Sadly it currently looks like Ravens over 49ers but a lot can happen in the next three weeks.

And the draft? Caleb Williams #1 but not to the Bears. Maserati Marv to the Cards. Commies take Maye or Daniels. Giants nab Nabers. Patsies take the remaining QB

So let’s see what’s new in Climate Hysteria.

BUT BUT BUT I THOUGHT THE — BAD MODEL — SCIENCE WAS SETTLED!  Research Finds Higher Likelihood Of Extreme Snowfall. And: Greening Africa.

and … that’s it. Even with all the nonsense this month that’s the only one I deemed worthy of sharing with y’all. So let’s do The cities meme.

City I hate: Chicago

City I think is overrated: Tie. New York and LA.

City I think is underrated: Nashville. Friendliest city I ever visited.

City I like: New Orleans

City I love: Vegas. But Vegas from 15-20 years ago.

City I feel most myself in: C-bus!

City I still need to visit: No place in the US is particularly calling me. Toronto maybe? Rome. Venice. Cairo.

City I dream of living in: The Villages? lol. San Antonio? Can’t do Virginia but maybe somewhere in coastal Carolina?

In other news: Trump Wouldn’t Be the First Non-Confederate Barred From Office by the 14th Amendment

SCIENCE MARCHES ON: The Yellow Puzzle Solved: Enzyme Responsible for Urine Color Discovered.

I’ll just keep posting this: COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: Uncredentialed teachers do as well as normally trained teachers. Granted, that’s a low bar.
