TGIF everyone. And happy Friday the 13th to we triskaidekaphiles.

It'll be a fine day here today (already saw a nice sunrise) - high in the low 60s (17 C) with partly clear skies most of the day. But more rain coming tomorrow starting around 7:00 AM.

Here's the last of my "after the rain stopped" shots from 3 days ago, taken a few paces from my front door...

   

For those interested (and I realize I'm probably the only one, but I need to document this for a bet with my neighbor) here are my predictions for the NFL playoffs:

Saturday:
          San Francisco over Seattle easily
          LA Chargers narrowly over Jacksonville

Tomorrow:
          Buffalo over Miami easily
          Minnesota narrowly over New York Giants, but this one could go either way
          Cincinnati over Baltimore, but if injured Baltimore starting QB Lamar Jackson plays it will be very close

Monday:
          Dallas over Tampa Bay (But Dallas has a habit of choking, and betting against Tom Brady is risky.)

I expect Kansas City and Cincinnati will face each other for the AFC title, with KC winning a close one.
And for the NFC title game I have San Francisco beating Philadelphia.

SUPER BOWL:
          I'm picking San Francisco to beat KC, 34-27.
