After "Black Monday" he'll have a new job by the end of the week if he wants one.

Hope he takes a year, he deserves it.

If the Bears are gonna make a run they've gotta be able to run to keep the leaky defense off the field.

30 carries with a five yard average gets them a win.

I don't know why I refuse to do Amazon Prime, exactly. In a sense, it's no different from any other subscription service. But maybe it's because of the ubiquitous demands during Amazon purchases, complete with sneakily displayed and grayed out buttons in several different stages of check out trying to get you to join. That and the difficulty of unsubscribing if you accept accidentally, as Lady O did a few years ago. California has a new law requiring a cancel process that is as easy as the subscribe process. We'll see how that works.

In the meantime, it's hard to believe the NFL would limit a playoff game to a content provider with 2/3 the subscribers of Netflix and miniscule compared to cable providers. Must have been lotsa money involved.

There's gambling on everything these days.

I'll check with my backroom bookie.

One site I look at, ESPN?, lists the closing spread and also the variable spread DURING the games.

It is ESPN. The closing spread was Rams -10. With the score 7-0 Rams (and driving after the INT) the spread is now Rams -19.5.

I think I would bet on the Panthers +19.5 at this point.

EDIT: Good timing. 14-7 Rams and the spread has dropped to 14.5.

EDIT: Nice run, Bryce. 17-14 Rams and the spread plummeted to Rams -9.5, better than the opening. Wow, Puka just dropped what would have been his hat trick, -8.5. Halftime.

Still not seeing the spread.

Two turnovers and down three?

They're in this thing.

Edit: oh, it's the Draftkings spread.

Panthers -3.5

I've never understood the value in those charts.

Too bad about the result of a great game, but I cleaned up on my bet at Panthers +19.5.

NO, NO NO, NO NO!

The Bears are in navy jerseys AND navy pants.

I don't think they've ever won with this combo.

The 2025-6 Bears have GB exactly where they want them. Congrats.

Meh - I don't read WaPo, shop at Hobby Lobby, or eat Chic Fil A, but if I really boycotted every corporation that had a right wing asshole for an owner or CEO, it would be a pretty spartan existence.
