NFL Week 13 teaser pick rankings: Taking the 49ers to keep rolling and six more teams to consider teasing 1 min read

NFL Week 13 teaser pick rankings: Taking the 49ers to keep rolling and six more teams to consider teasing

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

Our Teaser of the Week stayed in the win column with the Giants pulling out the outright win despite not covering the closing line and the Packers taking care of business, and the cash moves us to 7-4-1 on the year with our top two teaser options each week. And it’s a good thing we have a nice cushion heading into Week 13, because the options aren’t great.

Only two teams offer classic advantage teaser options this week, but I’m hesitant to tease the Raiders down under -3 on a road trip out east for a second straight week, even going against the putrid Jets. We dodged a bullet teasing the road Giants last week, and I’m in no hurry to try it again so soon.

I’ve done the legwork of going through all the lines as of Tuesday night and identifying the best teasing opportunities. Below, I’ve ranked all

Why Did Snowflake Stock Rally Over 20% Last Week? 1 min read

Why Did Snowflake Stock Rally Over 20% Last Week?

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

Cloud-based data warehousing startup Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) saw its stock rally by over 20% last week to about $330 per share, valuing the company at about $90 billion. While there wasn’t much news from the company over the past week, there could be a couple of factors that drove up the stock. Firstly, Snowflake is likely to report its first set of quarterly results as a public company on December 2 and investors are likely anticipating strong numbers. For perspective, the consensus estimates that the company will post revenue of about $148 million, and a loss per share of about -$0.26. Separately, investors have continued to double down on high-growth and software stocks through the last week, after taking a breather earlier in the month amid the vaccine news. For example, Zoom gained about 12% over the last week while Tesla stock was up by about 18%. This also

Best Cyber Week 2020 deals: Business Bargain Hunter’s top picks

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

Cyber Monday is here, which means you’re probably already getting inundated with information about the best deals.

Back in the old days, it was easier to keep track of the sales. You’d see Black Friday and Cyber Monday ads from major retailers detailing their plan and you’d circle the biggest “doorbuster” deals of the season.

Now, in 2020, things are a bit different. Retail ads start leaking out in October for “early Black Friday sales,” and almost all the biggest discounts can be snagged online. Heck, even retailer ad scans are online. That means, while you run the risk of being digitally overloaded, it’s now easier than ever for you to successfully master the holiday shopping season. 

With that said, we’re rounding up the best deals for professionals and remote workers and listing all the retailer ads and sale hubs — all with the goal of making sure you get

Public meeting on General Iron scheduled for next week

[email protected]_84 8 months ago

Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Administration will hold a meeting next week and is giving residents 30 days to comment on plans top open a car-shredding operation on the Southeast Side that will replace General Iron’s longtime home in Lincoln Park.

General Iron’s owner Reserve Management Group has filed an application with the city’s Department of Public Health for a final permit needed to open its car and metal-shredding business on East 116th Street along the Calumet River. The facility, which is under construction, is opposed by community groups concerned about additional pollution in an area that already suffers from poor air quality.

The city also will host a virtual public meeting at 6 p.m. Dec. 10 to discuss the process.

“I know this has been a long and complicated conversation,” Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Allison Arwady said in an interview. “There’s a community meeting scheduled and the hope really

All 81 workers will be eligible to work for four days on full pay, New Zealand Managing Director Nick Bangs said in a statement Tuesday. Most of the staff are based at Unilever’s Auckland headquarters and distribution center after the company closed manufacturing operations in 2015.

“The old days of working are outdated and no longer fit for purpose,” said Bangs. “Our goal is to measure performance on output, not time.”
