The longest 2 weeks of the year have mercifully come to an end. Time to put aside the pageantry of 'media week ' in Vegas. Forget about the halftime extravaganza and the million $$/minute commercial spots, although I do love the Budweiser Clydesdales. Stay clear of the ridiculous 'prop' bets. (The over-under on Reba McEntire's national anthem is 90 seconds....but who the fuck cares!) And don't even get me started on Taylor Swift! Swiftys can actually track Taylor's flight from Tokyo to Las Vegas in real time to see if she makes it. (spoiler alert...she'll be there) While the casual fan is distracted by Doritos ads and wardrobe malfunctions, The WOOD Report faithful will be focused on football and closing the door on yet another winning NFL campaign. I see the difference maker in this one being Niners QB Brock Purdy, who's 113 passer rating tops all NFL quarterbacks. At 92.6, Patrick Mahomes places a distant 14th. And while I do expect the KC defense to keep things interesting, in the final analysis, look for Purdy and the Niners to prevail by double digits. Take the points and BET THE FARM on San Francisco. See you next year, Woodheads!!
