Another day goes by listening to the constant thrum of YouTube videos in the background and trying to find some mental space away from all that noise. It’s working a little–enough so that I’m on the verge of understanding the magical system of my fantasy world from the top down. I know where magic comes from, but not how it arrives or is channeled or traversed. These reveals will not appear on these pages, because the world and its connection to the magic is central to story and plot. By the dang book, y’all!
I will offer NFL predictions freely now.
Niners. There, I said it. People insist the team greatly struggled against the Cowboys given the 19-12 final score, but you have to consider how those two squads actually stack up. Dak is going to be able to find success through the air to Lamb. Period. The two picks are are a troubling statistic largely because of the power of the Dallas run D. Eagles lack that run D. Sure, they can blitz and sack with the best of them–in fact they ARE the best of them, but McCaffery is gonna gouge them with runs and that is what this game turns on. The end.
Honestly, I like the Chiefs. I like Mahomes. I want to cheer him on. I want to see my guy K. Toney show out. Unfortunately, the league’s biggest villains, the Bengals, will be going back to the show, because they are flat out too good. It will be close. The emergence of a KC run game reshapes the conflict, but the injury to Mahomes–if as serious as indicated–will limit his ability to scramble and create and that is what this game turns on. The end.
