The holiday season is upon us and that mean it is time to put chestnuts on an open fire and sing songs that are supposed to make us feel warm and fuzzy.
Well, chestnuts are disgusting (try one) and I don’t sing. Hey I like Christmas as much as the next guy but when I went to Home Depot in mid-October and saw their tree displays already up, I almost lost it.

We are down to the last quarter of the NFL season which is hard to believe in itself. Once again, it is absolutely wide open on which teams are heading to the playoffs and which teams have the best chances to win the Super Bowl.
At the start of the preseason in my 7/29 blog I recommended a futures play on Atlanta (+2000) to win the Super Bowl. The Falcons are currently +600 so playing it early was a huge value play and at this point would be a great win. I still do not know if Atlanta has what it takes.
I also recommended the Bengals (+5000). Do they still have a shot?
Let’s take a look at a couple betting scenarios as we wind down the season.
To Win the AFC South:
Jacksonville -195
Indianapolis +120
