Well, For ME ... This Seals The Deal

I'd like to see the Chiefs win Superbowl whatevahthe#. S'been a loong time for them and in my opinion it hasn't been loong enough since Montana and Young were winning all those rings during the Walsh and Sieffert days. How many they got? Rings, I mean. 5? 6? I'm sure someone on THAT side of the Bay knows but as a Raiders fan idgaf. HOWEVER ... when we are speaking of my beloved $ ... that's when I turn into STAN. Nah'me? and what "I'd like to see" and "How I bet my MONEY" take different paths. This is basically a pick 'em game with no home field advantage. Chiefs are favored by 1 - 1.5 with a lot of big money going that way early ... but there is some doubt the Chiefs O & D lines can handle the Niners'. There are some folks out there trying to make a big score on this contest and even more, probably just try'na win BACK what they've already LOST this season, as if it were the last Monday Night Make-up game. Done that, lost the T-shirt, ain't goin' BACK!
 I wonder who woke up to this revelation and thought "That's The SIGN I've Been Waiting For! Fiona's RIGHT! I'm Bettin' The FARM ... On The NINERS!". I must admit I feel much the same as Fiona, here. When I think about the Chiefs winning the AFC West and the TWO asswhuppins they gave The Good Guys this season along the way, yeah, makes me wanna BARF too, and I think the 49ers will win in a close, hard fought, back and forth, game. I'm taking the Dog. But I ain't even bettin' the two pennies I found in The Happy Camper parking lot, let alone the farm -if I had one. I seem to enjoy the games mo' better without monetary consequence these days.

Hippo Fiona makes a mess of her Super Bowl pick 

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bettors looking for an edge in picking Sunday’s Super Bowl winner may (or may not) want to consider the selection thrown up by Fiona, the hippopotamus heartthrob at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.

Zoo keepers on Thursday placed two “enrichment” toys in front of her, marked with the logos of the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. While the plan called for Fiona to nudge one of the items with her snout to indicate her pick, she instead chose to lose her leafy green lunch on the Chiefs’ item, WLWT-TV reports.

Fiona’s premature birth three years ago drew international attention. She has since grown to 1,200 pounds (544 kilograms), roughly the weight of four NFL offensive linemen. It’s the third year she has handicapped the Super Bowl, correctly picking the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the New England Patriots in 2018, but missing on the Los Angeles Rams upsetting the Patriots in 2019.

Fiona celebrated her third birthday Jan. 24. She weighed just 29 pounds (13.2 kilograms) at birth, 25 pounds (11.3 kilograms) less than the lowest recorded birth weight for her species.

It’s unclear whether Fiona knew the point spread for Sunday’s game. The Chiefs are favored by a point.
