Point spreads and Bloomberg

A couple things looking at point spreads in the NFL.

The Baltimore Ravens have been beating the spread on average by 13 points!  Pretty much meaning bet AGAINST them in the foreseeable future. WELL - except when they play the 49ers next week!

The 49ers are beating the spread by 10.2 points so bet AGAINST them . . . except when they play the Ravens.

The Packers are losing to the spread my 1.0
The Bears -2.3
Detroit -1.3
Minnesota +3.0  Seems only the vikings are surpassing expectations

Philadelphia -3.0
New England +6.2
Cinci -5.4
Miami -8.0

Bridgejumper is now 15-6 this year and 432-277 lifetime (since 1992)

This week
"C" games (224-175 56.14%)
Cinci +3.5

Only 1 more week after this one.

Did you know Aaron Rodgers has a  lifetime losing record on the road?  40-41 I believe.  I'm starting to think the Vikings are better then the Packers!

Then there is New England - IS IT TIME TO PANIC?  No offense  OMG - they are so doomed (The pats are 10-1) 

here is Bucky's numbers after last nights loss.   The grinder Rating is an analytic I used which combines what a player does off the ball AND with the ball.  I've never used these for Collage Buckets but the higher the better and I'll start having a 5 game moving average for that number so we can see who is hot and who is not.

99% of all weather forecast originate from the same place  NOAA.  They the talking heads  talking dogs and all other forms of news put their spin in it.  However because weather has become a billion dollar industry more and more private firms are starting up such as AccuWeather, Earth Networks, and the Weather Co ( a spin off from The Weather Channel  . . who purchased Weather Central (WKOW) who purchased software from Creative Software in Madison) (Weather Channel is now owned by IBM).

Soon the Feds might not be the sole provider of all weather data.

Ohio got rid of the front license plates - this could cause problems for UBER and Lyft.

Bloomberg - OK OK.  So far the only "bad" thing I have read about him is that he is RICH but spends millions and millions on fixing problems with his own money.  He has actually been putting his money where his mouth is on social issues and other "liberal" visions as opposed to many politicians who talk the talk but do little else.

After trump announced America was pulling out of the Paris  Climate Agreement he gave $15 million to the foundation to make up for what america SHOULD have paid in dues to fight climate change.

He has contributed millions to the following charities


The guy is HUGE on Climate change - I won't way I'm FOR the guy but I'll keep an open mind. 

Progressives won't like him but they are a rabid bunch anyway and don't like anything that takes time. They seem to want everything NOW.

Nuff for today
