C'est la vie. As mentioned in the Friday night show, the luck component of the game would be the most likely reason for losing the bet. Purdy played fine, and in fact, from an adjusted net yards/attempt perspective, outperformed Mahomes in the game. The four luck factors of football I mentioned were fumble luck, special teams luck, injury luck, and penalty luck. Chiefs won on fumble luck, fumbling 5 times, but only losing 1, while 49ers lost their only fumble. Worth 6 points by itself in a typical game. Chiefs won on injury luck, as key 49ers defender Greenlaw went out early with an injury, and both Samuels and Kittle missed snaps from injuries. Worth about 3 points by itself. Chiefs won on special teams luck, as they made a 56+ yard field goal, blocked an extra point for the first time all year, and got a punt return hit off a player's foot for an easy TD opportunity. Worth 4 points by itself. Performance, personnel and matchups forecast a 2-3 penalty edge for 49ers, but the only offensive holding calls all game came against the 49ers, with video replay showing many Chiefs holding calls missed. Even with all four luck factors breaking the Chiefs way, they still needed OT to win. But that's why I always recommend limiting bet size due to the way luck can be anything but a lady sometimes. We'll get back to winning as we have now for three straight years. C'est la vie.

“The United States of America won’t stand for a socialist New York City, never mind the Upper East Side. And not to mention the real estate moguls who’ve fallen in love for the first time with the current mayor, Eric Adams. They view him as the best bet against the pro-Palestinian and socialist Mamdani, whose policies would be bad for business.”
“Already, fundraisers are being held in the Hamptons and uptown, with high rollers writing checks and making pledges to support Adams, who looks as if he just won the lottery. Dapper and smiling while shaking hands, Adams is the sudden beneficiary of New York City’s richest residents.”
