The New England Patriots are being praised as perhaps the NFL’s best team after a seven-game winning streak.  Yet, they’re not even favored to win this week at a 7-6 Indianapolis Colts team. Seeing the Patriots as an underdog at the Colts is a surprise, though the Colts are probably better than their record. They’re a well-coached team that is good on both sides of the ball, like the Patriots.  Here’s a first look at the Week 15 lines in the NFL, with the spreads from BetMGM:  Week 15 starts… Source link

(Reuters) – Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk was named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” for 2021, a year that saw his electric car company become the most valuable carmaker in the world and his rocket company soar to the edge of space with an all-civilian crew.    Musk is also the founder and CEO of SpaceX, and leads brain-chip startup Neuralink and infrastructure firm The Boring Company. Tesla’s market value soared to more than $1 trillion this year, making it more valuable… Source link

Long suffering New York Giants fans are marking an auspicious anniversary. This February will be 10 years since the Giants beat the New England Patriots, 21-17, in Super Bowl XLVI .

The Biden administration is pushing hard to promote electric vehicles (EVs). From a $7.5 billion provision in the ‘Build Back Better’ bill to expand and increase charging station networks to political pressure on automakers to commit to increased production with the goal of converting 40% of car sales to EVs by the end of this decade, it’s clear that under Biden, the government has the will to enforce a major shift in the automotive industry. For investors, this type of political… Source link

The best lie the NFL ever told is that the league is a meritocracy. For the players? Sure, most of them at least. But anyone else? Heck no. Not for head coaches, unless you think it’s just a happy coincidence nearly a third of this year’s group is of blood relation to another current or former coach. Not for assistant coaches, who usually get their jobs because of who they’re related to or whose father they married or who they worked with two or three stops previous. And it absolutely,… Source link

The Titans might have still been missing their most important weapons in Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown, but it was… Source link
