Hey bettors, thinking about laying money on the Bills tomorrow? I stumbled upon this nugget during my wanderings-home teams favored by 9+ in the wild card round are 11-0. This stat goes back 30 years. Don’t say I never did anything for you.
To The Game!
Seahawks/Niners:
-Man It Up: Seattle will no doubt have noticed that in their week 15, 21-13 loss Purdy was 11/12 vs zone coverage but just 6/14 against man D.
-Another path to success for the Niners is to find a way to attack Jimmie Ward. He allows an 81%(!) catch rate against the folks he’s defending.
-The Niners swept the season series and home teams playing against a team for the third time are 14-9.
-I do like it when two stats dovetail into one another and it spells disaster for a team. Seattle’s D is 31st in surrendering yards after the catch while San Fran has once again led the league (six years running, btw) in that very same category. I’m guessing you’ll see big chunk plays and plenty of frustration on the faces of Seahawks defenders.
-Geno Needs To Hoof It: In recent losses Geno has run for 13, -1 and 2 yards. In victories he’s gained 38, 48 and 49 yards.
-Let’s Talk About The Weather: Their is a flood watch and a Wind Advisory in effect for Santa Clara at present. Though it’s expected to taper off this afternoon I’d expect some sloppy conditions.
-Rookie qb’s starting their first playoff game are 8-18. Those that have won include Russell Wilson, T.J. Yates(?), Sanchez, Flacco, Ben and Shaun King.
Enjoy the game and come out swinging!
Single coverage to Metcalf. Yeah buddy
Argh
Imagine being the simpleton that thought 7th round rookie QB would win his first playoff game. What a rube you’d be.
He is against Geno Smith. Equal IMO
Smith throws td….
Rubes, I say, rubes!
Is it wrong that during the fams two hour nap I am crushing wine, smoking weed, and a dart or two? I just don’t want my bad influences to show in person….other than wine drinking.
what is a dart (in terms of vice-induging)?
I believe they are also referred to as ‘cigarettes’ being a sort of tiny cigar
ah, gracias
Tanis is such a rocket.
Did that dude just get trapped in a flying outhouse in a tornado?
LOL, Vegas had a prop bet on Deebo’s rushing yards – he hit it in the first 6 minutes of the game
One of my best buddies won a bunch on that.
I’m breaking my not drinking much anymore because there’s zero chance I make it thru this game sober. I’m 6 beers deep now. Good times. Poor Mrs. Sloth is in for a drunk Pirate when she gets home.
I like Paul Giamatti as an actor, so it makes me happy to see him rake in big bucks from Verizon for doing that terrible ad.

That high step was Purdy
Purdy Mouth gots a little swag in him!
Me at every Seahawks score:
*everytime my resto gets truffles this is outside.
Fun fact: Chunk is now an entertainment lawyer, and Data is one of his clients.
Koach K right now:
Legit one of the coolest scenes ever.
they were gonna make me Offensive Coordinator for this
but I wasn’t even in their Army no MOAR…
So looking like Lamar! is nawt gonna play. How fun would it be if he went to the Jets?
Aiyuk was an unsung FANTASY HERO, at least for Hippo
He helped me win the Gratuitous Simpsons References league!
No clean sheet for Santa Clara, BOO
From the Denver salt mine
We know [insert doomed coach here] will save us! DONKS WOO!!!!!
Got ourselves the illusion of a ballgame
Casual viewers’ interest SUDDENLY REVIVED!
HOX!!!!
Got ourselves an illusion of a competitive game!
Can’t believe they are still trying to make
Fetchthe USFL happen.With Trump not involved it could stand a chance. Just like last time.
I’d argue the reverse. Having his cult hurl their life savings at the league to “own the libs” is the only thing that could keep it afloat.
Be right back, I have to put my Jaguras bandana(s) in the dryer so they’re clean and ready for tonight.
Which of the Jello clan did you get to join ya with the bandana thing? Or is your wing-wang JUST THAT LARGE?
Don’t know if I’m going with the teal, the alternate black/teal or the AFC South Champs bandana.
Also, yes.
Don’t forget the anti-static dryer sheet!
Confession Time – I very much get Nick and Joey Bosa a….confused
What’s up dicksmokes??
Lady Maestro is in Scottsdale for a work conference this weekend so I am bachin’ it up again here (and by bachin’ it up, I mean mostly work through the to-do list of work and house stuff that seems to be growing by the hour). At least I’ve got the games on to feel better about my productivity getting derailed for the rest of the day!
So here’s something that has somewhat broken my brain, having just learned it today: apparently Lady Maestro has a coworker at this conference, a woman in her late 50s/early 60s ish, who has apparently TATTOOED-ON EYEBROWS INSTEAD OF HAIR. Have I been living under a rock? This is the first I’ve ever heard of anybody doing such a thing. Clearly it’s not very common… but have any of you ever seen this before?? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
I know someone who has tattooed eyebrows, but because she lost her eyebrows to chemo and they never grew back.
OK, this seems like a very reasonable explanation, actually. Apparently the example ones I was told about today are a vibrant electric blue – which makes less sense.
is it an alopecia or post-chemo thing? Otherwise, yeah…that seems odd,
It IS common.
It’s not *common* but it’s certainly not uncommon.
It really is common:
Oh yeah, that’s a thing. It’s more common in the Hispanic community, but really all sorts of people have been doing it since the 80s or 90s. Not just eyebrows either, any sort of tattoo makeup, eyeliner, blush, etc
We know what you mean
23% on third down, how in gods green earth did petey get into the playoffs
CHEATED.
We’re on to the draft!
Can we please start getting some coach Pete unhappy on the sideline shots. I enjoy those.
Just ask him what was up with Building 7
I have to say that I’m not a big fan of the Niners but DAMN those are beautiful uniforms! Best looking unis in the league, I think.
a lowkey criminal act that that went away from them in the 90s
not shocking the dynasty ended the moment they did (even if they won in 94)
The white pants we had for a while were…not good. Red and gold is the way.
A well-executed gold just looks stellar. There are some Washington throwbacks that are pretty fantastic too, with actual burgundy and gold
did not know you were from what Cecil would call Arabia. Gold rules eyes.
You mean “NFC”, right?
DET would have been more fun, but…I don’t think any of the field was beatng Baby Shanny’s crew this round. Or any round before they play in Philly (if they do).
I think the Niners are your NFC Super Bowl representative.
Agreed. But Iggles away would at least be a fight.
Chuckles in draft picks.. yep more fun for sure
They should show stuff like Apple’s headquarters or something, not the Golden Gate bridge.
Actually, this game is sort of Mac vs PC
I’d show Gilroy and a cone of garlic ice cream.
How about some hobos begging on the on-ramp to the 101
Great America is RIGHT THERE
bad feeling this whole weekend is gonna be these games
WOOP
MoCaffrey Mo-often.
/it worked better in my head, tbh
big cock brock should not have to throw more than 12 times
GAME MANAGER
That Santa Clara defense is legit scary. NFC better hold onto its buttholes.
Did you know that they throw fish in Seattle?

We’re all here just to see something crazy while the Niners beat the Seahawks, right?
Does anyone actually think the Hawks have a shot to win?
Puncher’s chance.
the rain apparently is doing the same to big cock brock as it did to lance
I think the rain helps them, but still a longshot
I’m not watching, someone wake me if it gets interesting
They’re showing the Golden Gate Bridge even though it’s 40 miles away from the stadium.
feel like we haveta break out the NOTEBOOK already
I figured you were a big McAdams fan
apparently, i have two dfo accounts and wp stole my av on that one
Welcome back?

To draw pictures, silly!
Good start!
Friend of mine was Tiger Parenting the Niners the other day:
“You could really stand to improve your secondary”
“Mom! I’m the best defense in the NFL!”
“Yes, but you could be better if you just beefed up your secondary!”
Was the Mom Asian?
Indian man, but I just like the mental audio of the 49rs defense saying ‘Mom’ in a protesting manner 😛
That fits the stereotype too.
Woke up exactly in time for a pee and then KICKOFF. Hippo content. LET’S GO TOMSULAS!!
Day drunk woooooo.
Smokin ribs with wee man. He has had 2 milkshakes, he is BC Dick’s blood.
What’s the line on how many ribs wee man is gonna eat? I’ll take the over
Ok, it is nap time. (Aka Cotes du Rhone and weed time) There are 3 racks in there. Mrs Cola from working n the bone maro cancer clinic is not down. She gets smoked chicken breast.
I reckon the 5 year old eats a rack an a half. So that means I also get a rack and a half. He is 4’9, I am 6’2…….
You’re not watching Puebla??
We won last night, am happy
LET’S GOOOOOOO
I am 100% with you today!
Let’s give Trent Williams a playoff win!
Good job making the seats red so it’s not as obvious how empty the stadium is!
The ol St Louis Cardinals look
There’s a lot going on with Daryl Johnston’s coat.
If Purdy wins this game, do you think he’ll undisputedly be the leagues best Brock?

The cheap seats in Santa Clara are down to $58, which is insane for a playoff game. If I could feasibly get there via public transit I would totally go, but not willing to pay $50 to park 2 miles away
Doesn’t CalTrain go right by Levi’s though?
CalTrain doesn’t go to the East Bay
The best way would probably be to drive down to Milpitas, then park and take VTA in, but that’s still a pain in the butt
Ahha I see your problem

It is SOGGY out here. Most recent forecast is saying it’ll start raining again off and on around 2 pm with 100% of the area receiving rain at 3. It was heavy overnight and has been off and on all morning. My impression of Californians as total weather wusses has been amply confirmed by the assholes going 40 mph on the highway with their flashers on when I only occasionally needed to use the medium windshield wiper setting.
Been a long time since I’ve felt a Bay Area winter, but I can still remember the damp smell of the MUNI buses come February.
This is definitely the rainiest it’s been since I moved here, my car is so clean! I’m glad I don’t live closer to the bay, there’s all sorts of sewage backups with old systems in poor condition that probably weren’t designed for this much water in the first place.
Public transit ridership is still low after Covid, and now they’ve gotten on the spiral of cutting frequencies because there aren’t riders then people stopping riding because there aren’t trains often enough.
It’s been raining pretty steady in LA since about 10 this morning.
I’m not going anywhere for two days.
Seattle brought the rain with them!! Narratives
FUCK. AND. YES.
