You don’t give Patrick Mahomes the opportunity to get the ball back. If you can’t get two yards, you don’t deserve to win. What better opportunity will you have than being on the two yard line? Take advantage of that opportunity. The Chargers players were impressed, too.Chargers TE Hunter Henry's status remains up in the air - Gavino BorquezHenry has remained on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) since May, and many are hopeful that he will return.

We’ve got to have a stop right now or this thing is going to get out of hand.’ We had a couple of those situations and (our defense) came up big. That offense wasn’t on the field as much as they’re used to being on the field Kyzir White Color Rush Jersey , but they didn’t have 300 yards of offense, so hats off to our defense.”Upon Further Review: Five Quick Facts About the Chiefs’ Loss to the Chargers on Thursday - Matt McMullenChargers’ quarterback Philip Rivers completed 10-of-16 passes for 126 yards and a pair of touchdowns on Los Angeles’ final two drives before finding wide receiver Mike Williams on a successful two-point conversion that pushed the Chargers in front.Upon Further Review: Five Lessons from the Chiefs Game - Ricky Henne“Well I cannot say enough about the resilience of this football team.

The Degenerate Gambler has lived up to his namesake and made both good bets and terrible ones. While not trying to display some sort of gambling league parity, it seemed quite surprising and odd that his losses seemed to be evened out with wins. What amounted was a 16-week rollercoaster of emotions and poor decisions that currently has our anti-hero back where he started at (minus $12.76).But how did last week fare for him?Week 16Ravens @ Chargers Wager 1 Chargers spread (-4) $40 [-110] L Wager 2 Total points (>42.5) $40 [-110] LWager 3 Chargers first half (>11.5) $10 [-120] LWager 4 Receiving - M. Williams (>46.5) $10 [-115] LTOTAL:$ -100.00I don’t know why he would bother with a first half bet—-he mentioned just last week that those never work out, but he did it again. What was absolutely astounding is that the Chargers only mustered 3 points by the half. If they had been even half-awake on offense, this could have been a split week for the Gambler, but it was not to be.Well, you don’t win anything if you don’t risk it Virgil Green Color Rush Jersey , so he’s at it again! Week 17Chargers @ BroncosWager 1 - Total points (>42) $100 [-110]Total possible win: $90.91Total possible loss: Everything, meaning a net loss for the regular season.Well, that’s something. Yes, the Broncos beat the Chargers earlier this season, but almost every major media outlet is taking the Chargers for the win. That said, opinions don’t mean anything when it comes to the field of play.Last time they met, it was a 22-23 affair, with the Broncos stealing an improbable win. Despite what many think, the Chargers won’t be as motivated to win this week as many would hope— there is a chance they actually lose, without it hurting their seeding. Expect a fairly vanilla playbook and not a lot of risky plays. It wouldn’t be a surprise at all for Geno Smith to see some action this week.While it’s unlikely that Vance Joseph keeps his job, many of his coordinators and assistants are also teetering on the edgeJason MichaelsOn the other side of the coin Caleb Sturgis Color Rush Jersey , most Broncos are playing for their jobs—especially the coaching staff. The spread for this game is an unpleasant -6.5 for the Chargers. It’s a decent proposal to take the Broncos at +6.5, but they are one of the most flukey teams in the league. Boil all of that information down and you are best situated with an Over/Under bet. The details seem to hint at an under, but history hints at an over.The Degenerate Gambler knows that the Chargers haven’t had two consecutive games under 42 points yet this year, so he’s going over. You’ve got to expect that the ‘Money Badger’ is a lock for 70 yards or less, too, up in the thin air.It will be interesting to see what prop bets pop up in the next few days (if it is 3 total field goals or less, go hard on the over!).-Jason “Easy come, easy go” Michaels
