2024 Three Best Bets - Wildcard Weekend

[Softball Bat]

Fans, SM is a busy man this week, so I took the liberty of tallying the scores, updating the standings, and posting the lines for the *epic* Wildcard Weekend.
I worked fast here, so it is possible/likely that I made a boo-boo or two. If so, please let me know and I will get it corrected pronto.

Mike Ditka posted a huge 5-0 week, and HPG and Mister_Falcon were also unblemished in week 18.
Good stuff!

Biggie maintains the lead, and it won't be easy to catch him.

There are just four weeks left, so put your thinking caps ON and do your best right now!

Thanks to a classic Tank Job by Jobs, I zoom out of the basement. Steve how could you fuck up so bad, especially after the successful last two years?

And now to set my milradian sights on the Grifter.... Still time for his demise.

[Dr_Phibes]

Jobs is like Buddy Ryan, he's got his system, he's running it come hell or high water. Bad year for those tactics, I remember hearing October was the worst months for books in 15 years, nothing but faves covering the spread. Then Bet QL is saying the worst season for 20 years.

A bunch of folks took the LAC -3.

Looking tenuous at this point.

A bunch of folks took the LAC -3.

Looking tenuous at this point.

They were feeling real good for a full quarter, still confident at halftime, and it got real rough after that.

Kluba and nailed it.

Kluba and nailed it.

The Chargers MO under Harbaugh is to control the line of scrimmage on both sides, play smart football, don't make errors, and capitalize when the other team wears down and makes the error(s).

That was happening for a quarter + on Saturday.

The Bolts were up 6-0, the Tejans had already made a couple of mistakes.
The Chargers had the ball at the Houston 40 yd line, 1st down, 11:30 left in the first half.

Then J. Herbert made an AWFUL decision.

He rolled out, got some pressure, and decided to launch a pass late, across his body, over the middle to the far side of the field.

The pass was intercepted, and the momentum of the game switched at that time.

The Tejans got a lot of heat on Justin Herbert in that game, and Herbert had a bad outing.
