I went all in for Week 17, knowing that I had a lot of ground to make up, plus Week 18 is a total crapshoot because it is more like a meaningless preseason game for so many teams.
Net result was plus $324,567, but a pair of big swings and misses crushed me:
- Seattle (-3½) at Chicago (Seahawks won 6-3; should have bet the under!), though I did make half that loss back on the moneyline. The Seahawks were battling for a playoff spot, the Bears are awful; expected this to be an easy big win.
- Indy with everything to play for at NYG with nothing except the draft to play for; the moneyline seemed like a sure thing, even if it wasn't going to yield a whole lot of return.
