He is terribly addicted, we’re sorry to say, but we can rest easy knowing that he doesn’t really have to worry about collectors at the moment, as he’s been on a good winning streak for the last few weeks. Let’s see how he’s done to this point, shall we?LAST WEEK: Week 12: Cardinals @ ChargersWager 1 - Cardinals spread (+14):$35.00 [-115] L Wager 2 - Total points (over 44.0): $50.00 [-105] W $47.62Wager 3 - First half total (>20.5):$15.00 [-155] W $9.68Week 12 Totals:+$22.302018 Total: +$98.54Another good week for the Gambler, but that’s largely because he figured that there would be a bit of a shootout. As things would happen, there was no shootout at all. The Cardinals simply got decimated, and the Chargers put up an incredible number of points in the second quarter, helping the Gambler elevate two of his bets and destroying the first. He is okay with this situation!But what about today’s events?Week 13: Chargers @ SteelersWager 1 - Total Points (Under 52.5):$45.00 [-110]Wager 2 - Total receiving yards - Antonio Brown (<84.5):$10 [-110]Wager 3 - Total receiving yards - A. Ekeler (>28.5): $15 [-110]Wager 4 - Total passing yards - Big Ben (>301.5):$15 [-115]Wager 5 - No team scores 3 consecutive times: $15 [+200]Total potential win:$106.28Total potential loss:Everything again!So Michael Badgley Jersey , diving in here, we can try and see what it is the Gambler envisions for this tough-to-figure-out matchup. The Steelers historically play pretty well on their home turf, but the problem with both teams is that this is not a must-win game. Yes, the winner almost assuredly stamps their postseason ticket on account of this win. However, there are clear and easy paths to the postseason for each team with a loss today. Expect a surprisingly sloppy game. If any team takes over, it’s the Chargers because they might suddenly smell that the Chiefs are vulnerable.Everyone is expecting an offensive explosion, and for good reason. But 52.5 is just a really, really high point total. The Gambler honestly wanted the Chargers spread to be 3.5, because he has this game marked as a Chargers loss by 3 (on the final play of the game, no surprise). Without a decent kick-back for taking the Chargers moneyline (a paltry +155) Joey Bosa Jersey , the Degenerate Gambler went on the game-day individual bets.JuJu Smith-Schuster has been the Pittsburgh #1 lately in everything but the public consciousness. For that reason, expect him to flourish and Antonio Brown to be limited to low yardage (and 2 TDs in crazy situations). The Gambler was most unsure about that bet, but pretty sure that Big Ben throws for more than 301.5. He’s done that the majority of the season. After last week, many people are starting to notice Philip Rivers, but don’t let his accuracy distract you from a terrible bet: Over 290.1 is a bad bet for Rivers, because he’s only done that a few times this season, with 259 on last week’s record day. Roethlisberger is good for high yardage whether he’s got a good game or a bad one.The Gambler feels that the betting world hasn’t caught on to Ekeler being much of a factor, so he’s quite happy with a [-110] return on what should be an easy mark: catch 28.5 or more yards. Ekeler has averaged 32.2 per game, and Gordon clocked in at 45.3. Great bet!Finally, it’s another great week for the Gambler because he gets to take his FAVORITE bet! He wanted to go hard on ‘No team scores 3 consecutive times Womens Austin Ekeler Jersey ,’ but it’s a positive return because it doesn’t hit all that often. Still, the key to winning that bet is to take it when two strong teams meet. When he saw +200 on the return, this is one of the juiciest times to take a long-shot bet this year. He’s not ready to mortgage the week on that high return, but there could be worse choices for a Degenerate Gambler.Good luck this week!-Jason ”Steel My Heart” Michaels The Chiefs could have certainly used Eric Berry in the second half last night.But they knew going into the game that wasn’t going to be the case.Via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com, the Chiefs safety said he didn’t leave the game because of any setback with his heel injury, but because he and coach Andy Reid had planned for him to play a half.“We just wanted to be smart about the whole situation,” Berry said. “We came in with a plan and we just stuck with it. We didn’t want to push it past that. That was between me and [Reid]. We just talked about it and felt I was good where I was at.”Berry missed the first 13 games this season because of a bone spur issue in his heel, after missing most of last year with a torn Achilles. He had a team-high six tackles in the first half.“I just felt right this week,” he said. “Just sitting around and talking to my parents and talking to the coaches and the staff, I just felt like this was a good time to come in and get something going.“I probably could have come back last week. But it was still that hesitation http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-melvin-gordon-jersey , I guess. I didn’t feel it in my spirit, so I just said I’ll wait until this week. Just trusting my instincts, just listening to it and staying true to that. Obviously, I wanted to be out there in the second half, but like I said, we came in with a plan and we stuck to it.”The Chiefs blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter without him, but they actually deserve credit for not abandoning their plan for handling Berry’s comeback for the sake of one regular season game.
