Day 642

  • The race ended cleanly, and with a last-lap pass by Max Verstappen to win the Formula 1 World Championship and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
  • There were several significant flashpoints in the race, though.  So much so that a safety car fiasco had Louis Hamilton's team filing a protest -- which was denied.
  • Has the memo gotten to the NFL that it's Brady v. Belichick?  This week seems to be massive quit-jobs by the low end of the scale:
  1. Houston loses 33-13 to Seattle.
  2. The Raiders get shellacked at Kansas City 41-9.
  3. The Jets go down to New Orleans 30-9.
  4. Jacksonville is shut out at Tennessee 20-0.
  5. Detroit losing 31-10 to Denver in the 4th.  (38-10 Final)
  6. Giants losing 37-7 to the Chargers in the 4th.  (37-21 Final)
(Original list is as of the time I added all that.)
  • And the situation in Jacksonville is getting worse by the hour.  Urban Meyer will fire any leaks in the locker room.  I think half the team wants to go now.
  • First ten games to finish:  Favorites are 9-1 ATS and 9-1 SU.
  • The Packers are an almost two-touchdown favorite over the Bears tonight.  Why, oh why, am I getting a gut feeling about this one?  
  • Make that 11-1 ATS and SU for the week.  And who is one of the largest-money betting teams in the NFL?  That's right.  The Packers!!  I'm smelling something -- now watch me be told as an idiot after Bears stockholder Aaron Rodgers gets done tonight or something...  
  • And with the Refball for the Tom Bradys!  Blatant DPI no-call in the end zone benefitting Tampa forces Buffalo to settle for a tying FG in regulation.  Less than that is called DPI in the overtime, and two or so plays later, 57 yard touchdown and the Tom Bradys are 10-3.
  • Yep.  Aaron Rodgers has some more stock in the Bears.  Still, that looked so obvious...  11-1 ATS for the week, "I STILL OWN YOU!", Brady refball, etc.
  • Yo, refs:  After the Packer muffs the onside attempt, isn't that a touchdown for Chicago on the scoop and score?  Asking for a friend...
