Vegas Adventures: A scary MAGA Football League statistic...

You know, I was thinking, back in April, when they were holding the NFL Draft in Philadelphia, about this question:  Why would Tom Brady and Bill Belichick return, now that each has done about all there is to be done in the Super Bowl-centric NFL...

And then, between an ESPN article a few days later and some more thought, it hit me...

Six titles, to match jordon.  19-0, to get rid of the last real barriers to perhaps get "Football Over Life" Nation America to deify the Propaganda White God over the Corporate Black God of Sports the last 30 years.

Whether you agree that will actually happen (and many I've spoken to do not), I do want to relate to you one scary statistic I have from the William Hill US bookmakers.

As of my Vegas trip, there were six NFL teams, and only six, that you could get shorter odds on winning the Super Bowl than you would getting that The New England Patriots any NFL team (but who are we kidding?) go 19-0 (those odds are 15-1, and I did bet them for $5)...
  • The Patriots were +280 -- only 14-5 to win the Super Bowl.  (Many books might get you to 3-1, but no higher.)
Parenthetically, to show you how ridiculous the situation with the NBA is getting, Golden State is already a -200 favorite (1-2) to win the 2018 NBA Finals -- a number unheard of in this era, in any sport!!
  • The Las Vegas Oakland Raiders were 7-1, largely on the fact that many locals are already latching on to their new team, two years in advance of them moving in to their stadium down by Mandalay Bay.
  • The Cowboys were 8-1 as of that printing  (August 7th).  They'll probably go far longer if they ever get reinstated to the board, but the Giants were 18-1 and I could see them breaching 15-1.  (And I could see myself picking the Giants too for the NFC title -- Seattle is mouthing off their chances, is Atlanta too Black for White Republican America to politically accept?, and the Cowboys...  nuff said.)
  • The Packers were 8-1 as of the 7th.
  • The Seahawks 10-1.
  • And the Steelers 12-1.
(Atlanta is on that 15-1 number.)

So, depending on whether the Giants breach 15-1 and once the Cowboys sprint the other way, there will only be four or five other NFL teams (six if Atlanta cuts under 15-1) that you can get shorter odds of them winning the Super Bowl than the Patriots winning it undefeated.

If you want a scary indication of how little relevant football is going to be played as America (and especially White Republican America) jacks off to head injuries, cheap shots, domestic violence, and worse, here you go.
