I don't listen to "Vegas" or to the sports commenthaters "predictions" because they generally involve sucking Peyton Manning or Tom Brady dick repeatedly or just picking whatever team happens to be flavor of the month streaking, but my own belief is that streaks are a terrible way to make predictions, because the simple law of averages catches up with EVERYBODY. There are two internal villains in the world of sports, and they are ALL undefeated across eternity and are the very definition of sport. The first is Father Time, who catches up with EVERYBODY, and ushers in the new eras and young-bucks. Jordan HAD to surpass Magic. Kobe HAD to surpass Jordan. Lebron HAD to surpass Kobe. Durant will HAVE to surpass Lebron. Father Time dictates the game. The second integral force in sports, the law of averages. Sports are about averages, and if you play enough games like if you flip a coin enough times, you will always fall back to the mean. So streaking teams will lose, and losing teams will win. This year all the shit-kicking teams from last year are fucking 3-0, and all the better teams from last year are 1-2.. There is a mechanical explanation for that by the way, the "better" teams are more physically exhausted and injured from having played more intensely last seasons (this again is Father Time and the Law of Averages catching up with the Niners and the Falcons, hoping it finds the Patriots and the Broncos
