Thanks Natalie.
Another from yesterday's early morning walk, this one of Alyssium against a wide succulent leaf in my front yard...
My NFL predictions for today's games:
San Francisco at Philadelphia (PHI favored by just 2.5 points).
SF has a great defense; PHI QB Jalen Hurts is back for his second game after missing several games due to injury, and if he is 100% healthy will be a threat with his excellent running and passing.
SF will run the ball well against PHI defense, and this will eventually make passing easier for the SF rookie QB.
The game may come down to two things: 1) which team's QB has a better game; and 2) which team's defense does a better job of shutting down the opposing team's offensive strengths. I predict SF to win by at least 7 points; maybe 21-14.
Cincinnati at Kansas City (KC favored by just 1.5 points).
CIN has beaten KC the last three meetings. BUT KC is notoriously strong at home. Neither team will run well, so that means QB play will be key. And KC QB Mahomes is injured; he will play but nowhere near at 100% - maybe as low as 50%.
If Mahomes was 100% healthy, KC would have the edge. But with him injured, IMO CIN has the edge. I expect CIN defense to get 1 or 2 interceptions and recover 1 KC fumble. Depending on how much magic the injured Mahomes can perform, it could be close, but I think CIN will win by 6 to 14 points - maybe 34-24.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
