Wow!Like, perhaps, a few of the Chargers’ faithful, the Degenerate Gambler really doesn’t remember a lot of the past week. As far as he can tell White Melvin Gordon Jerseys , he woke up somewhere in Escondido on Thursday, got in a fight when he wasn’t “allowed” to place any wagers on the Thursday night game, and promptly got escorted to a back lot that made a comfy bed until this morning. There not being any more night games might mean that this is a scene that will repeat itself more than once before the end of the season, but the Degenerate Gambler is still feeling good about life.Not only will there be MORE sweet Chargers action to bet on after the regular season, but he won more than 100% of his initial deposit last week. Let’s see how he did!Week 15Chargers @ ChiefsWager 1 Chargers spread (+3.5) $35 [-110] W+$31.82 Wager 2 Chargers moneyline $35 [+165] W +$57.75 Wager 3 Total (>53) $30 [-115] W+$26.09 TOTAL Win:+$115.66Season Total: +$112.26Ah, yes—that’s right, he lost every bet versus the Bengals, and his good season was tarnished in one sore week. Well Melvin Gordon Jerseys 2019 , sometimes yin and yang even out more quickly than we expect! One bad week, one excellent week. This means that this week’s deposit is effectively a free roll for the Degenerate Gambler. You would think that he’s destined to gamble on big returns with that, right?Let’s see.Week 16Ravens @ ChargersWager 1 Chargers spread (-4) $40 [-110]Wager 2 Total points (>42.5) $40 [-110]Wager 3 Chargers first half (>11.5) $10 [-120]Wager 4 Total receiving yards - M. Williams (>46.5) $10 [-115] Total potential win: +$89.76Total potential loss: EverythingWell, that’s... interesting. Nothing juicy at all, here. If we were to characterize how he’s looking at this game, it appears to be “just another day at the office” for the Chargers. This means that he’s not sure enough they’re going to crush them that he’s delving into alt-line territory (higher spreads for greater profit). There’s also a nice bet on Melvin Gordon III getting 30 or more receiving yards, but with Williams balling out last week and the team being careful with Gordon, that’s a solid bet that he’s willing to let go.The closest that we can come to solid conclusions is that he expects the Chargers to come out of the gates shooting. Two touchdowns in the first half should not be hard for the Chargers to achieve White Philip Rivers Jerseys , but the total points of just 42.5 is probably the surest thing to a “lock” this week. That’s the lowest total for a Chargers game since Buffalo (week 2 was at 41.5). The Chargers have only played two games this year with total points that wouldn’t hit 42.5 between the teams, and both had OVER/UNDER lines of much higher.It seems that, again, the Degenerate Gambler is consigned to hitching his wagon to the Chargers, which has been a good choice this season. If the Chargers win, he stands to likely at least break even this week. Of course, if they get upset, well.. he’ll be upset as well.-Jason “Never wins the first half bets” Michaels Chargers’ Playoff Scenarios Abound Heading into Week 17 - Ricky HenneIf the New England Patriots lose to the New York Jets while Houston and Baltimore both win Philip Rivers Jerseys 2019 , the Bolts would then head to Foxborough to take on the reigning AFC champions.Upon Further Review: Five Lessons from the Ravens Game - Ricky Henne“We have to start better. The last four or five games, we came from behind — it's been awesome because we won those games, but that's not winning football. Especially this time of year, we have to go out there and play our best in the first half and come out and finish the game in the second half — we haven't done that yet.”Los Angeles Chargers’ Christmas wish list - Travis WakemanThe Chargers have had a blessed season. Despite being dominated in the season opener and starting the season 1-2 following a tough loss to the Los Angeles Rams, they’ve turned the ship around and sit at 11-4 with one week left in the regular season.Chargers have to fix poor starts before postseason - Eric Williams"We've been coming back in the second half of games and winning games, and it's been awesome for our football team," Pouncey said. "But that's not the winning formula in this time of year, especially when you're playing playoff football teams.Grading all 32 first rounders after Week 16 - Mark ChichesterJames didn’t light up the stat sheet in his Week 16 game against the Ravens White Antonio Gates Jerseys , but as he has throughout the season, he made plays when his team needed him to. He made two solo tackles and added two assists against the run, but his best play of the night came in coverage when he broke up a third-down pass working against tight end Mark Andrews.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
