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 Youth LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys , 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, 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), 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 LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys Stitched , 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,� 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 CHICAGO (AP) � Philip Rivers has come up empty against Tom Brady every time.He gets another shot next weekend.Rivers directed the Los Angeles Chargers to a 23-17 playoff victory at Baltimore on Sunday, setting up another high-stakes matchup with Brady and the New England Patriots. For all of Rivers� success during his 15 years in the NFL, he is winless in seven career starts against Brady.�To get an opportunity again to go against them, 11 years after we had the opportunity in the 2007 season, yeah, it�s awesome,� Rivers said. �Looking forward to it.�The reigning Super Bowl champions are still in the mix after Nick Foles threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on fourth down with 56 seconds left, sending the Philadelphia Eagles to a 16-15 victory over the NFC North champion Chicago Bears on Sunday.Cody Parkey had a look at a potential winning field goal for Chicago, but his 43-yard try with 10 seconds remaining went off the left upright and then the crossbar. Parkey bent over after the miss as the Eagles celebrated and Bears coach Matt Nagy looked on in disbelief.�That�s playoff football right there for you,� Tate said. �That�s why we play this game, for times like now once you get to January and February.�Next up for Foles and Philadelphia (10-7) is a trip to New Orleans to face Drew Brees and the top-seeded Saints (13-3). The Eagles also visited the Big Easy on Nov. 18 and struggled mightily against Brees and company in a 48-7 loss.�It wasn�t very good the first time Youth Kyle Emanuel Jerseys ,� coach Doug Pederson said. �We�ll take a look at that film. We�ll take a look at this one. I think we�re a different football team now than we were then, and you know, we�ve just got to put a good plan together in all three phases.�The Chargers (13-4) visit the Patriots (11-5) in the first divisional playoff game next Sunday, followed by the Eagles� return to New Orleans. Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts (11-6) take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs (12-4) on Saturday, and then Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott lead the Dallas Cowboys (11-6) into Los Angeles to take on Todd Gurley and the Rams (13-3).Luck threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and Marlon Mack rushed for 148 yards in the Colts� 21-7 victory at Houston on Saturday. Prescott passed for a TD and ran for another score to help the Cowboys top the Seattle Seahawks 24-22 in their first-round matchup.�It�s really just a chance to keep going on, simple as that,� Prescott said. �Me and this whole team, we want to win it all. You can�t do that without taking care of the first one. A lot of excitement, but my goal is bigger than just one playoff win.�The 37-year-old Rivers beat New England in 2008, but that was with Matt Cassel starting at quarterback for the Patriots while Brady was injured. Rivers went up against New England for the first time in the playoffs after the 2006 season, tossing an interception in a 24-21 loss to the visiting Patriots.The star QBs also squared off in the postseason in 2008. Playing with a torn knee ligament, Rivers threw two more picks in a 21-12 loss at New England.�Obviously, we�ve got to worry about that defense. It�s a Bill Belichick-led team and defense,� Rivers said. �I�m not playing Tom by any means. But is it special to go to New England against a Hall of Fame coach and arguably the best quarterback ever to play and get another shot at �em? Heck, yeah. Heck, yeah, it is special.�
