NFL Update

The past week’s NFL “feature games,” played simultaneously after earlier games, each “piped” into many/most markets, manifested in the (11-3) Buffalo Bills winning at the (12-2) Detroit Lions while Philly (Eagles) are also (12-2) after winning at home vs (10-4) Pittsburgh Steelers. (Pitts has not won at Philadelphia since 1965 yielding an eleven game loss skein).

Alas the games, even in a football sense, were not that important, as they were not within the conference.

Detroit has the tiebreaker advantage vs Philadelphia in the battle for the NFC top seed, however their record is the same as division foe, Minnesota (Vikings), with a good chance that the NFC North crown and at least an (why an, maybe not but it sounds better though “N” is a consonant, normally yielding a?) NFC “2” seed reward, will be decided when “Minn” visits Detroit on January 5, 2025.

Meanwhile in the AFC, the 2 time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs finally covered (-4 plus, (21-7) vs the (3-11) Cleveland Browns, who committed the game’s 6 turnovers.

K.C. has a magic # of 2 to clinch the AFC top seed. They likely will be without Mahomes for their Saturday home tilt vs (9-5) Houston (Texans), who by the way clinched its div, and also is so likely, a 3 or 4 AFC seed.

If Mahomes were not injured–’twas K.C. menos 4 or so, as likely is, with Mr. Wentz–Hous. is maybe a field goal “fave.”

Oh for the days of Senor Wences, pictured above.

There is Carson Wentz, Senor Wences and the fictional Tony and Margot Wendice, played by greats, Ray Milland and Grace Kelly in “Hitch’s” (Alfred Hitchcock) masterful “Dial M For Murder.”
