Ugh.
After coming back from a huge early season deficit, I finally got back to even a couple weeks ago. Had to risk a lot to do so, and I knew I had to continue to do that if I had any chance of moving up to the top.
Everything was going great in week 16 through the late afternoon games. Was in first place for the week, 10-1 with only a minimal loss on Denver on the moneyline (more than offset by the over in their game at the Chargers).
Tampa had been playing well since getting Mike Evans back, and I figured they would be motivated to stay ahead of Atlanta for first place in the NFC South. Dallas is Dallas, perpetually finding ways to screw things up, right? Placed a maximum wager on the moneyline for the Bucs, plus another 50k on the spread with Tampa -4.
Pffffftt.
That loss of 150k brought me all the way down to minus 27k for the week, rather than being up more than 300kon the day. Still in 4th place for the overall season standings, but there's no way I can realistically catch
@Steve102 in the season-long standings with only two weeks to go, and behind by 476k.
Fun contest. Makes for a nice distraction compared to what's going on at Patriot Place this year.
