Oh December Football is upon us! You can bet that you will lose a few games this month and be left with thin pockets, scratching your head thinking What the F*?K Just happened!!! Here are some "Bad Beats" in NFL Week 13....
1) So you took the Titans/Colts Over the total of 47 points. Joseph Addai Runs for 2 First half touchdowns and Peyton Tosses another in just the First half. Titans did their part and scored 10 points in the first 30 minutes and your sitting pretty at halftime with the score 24-10 needing only 2 touchdowns in the second half to secure a Winning Wager! Not so fast! A scoreless third quarter and 10 combined points in the 4th Quarter from the Titans & Colts and this game Finishes Just under the total!
2) You Slammed the Under in the Raiders/Steelers game. It would have been a Headliner match up in the 70's. This was your headliner total on Sunday, tough Steelers defense in 28 degree weather against a Raiders teams that had to travel half way across the country to play this game. You fall asleep watching this boring game and wake up for the start of the 4th Quarter with the Steelers leading 10-6. Dead Under Easy Winner Right? Wrong both teams combine to score 35 points in the final 8 minutes & 21 seconds. Shocked! Steelers lose & your "Dead Under" is a "Dead Loser"
3) You Ate the Chalk and took the Bengals laying 13.5 points. Detroit jumps out to a 7-0 lead and you worried. Fast Forward to the 4th Quarter and the Bengals lead 23-7 and have scored 23 unanswered points. Your in position to cash this game even with Carson Palmer throwing 2 Interceptions & losing 1 fumble. Dante Culpepper enters the game with 2:56 to go in the 4th Quarter and your saying your prayers right about now. "I swear I will never lasy 13.5 points again" I swear I won't bet the Bengals ever again" (You said that as well after the Raiders loss) " "I swear I will never bet against the Lions again" You know the back door touchdown is looming! An 11 Yard Pass, a 7 yard Culpepper scramble and 38 yard strike to Calvin Johnson set up a 2 yard touchdown by Kevin Smith. It did't matter, the Lions lost anyway 23-13 but SO DID YOUR BENGALS BET!
4) So what the Entire World is on the Patriots. Miami Wildcat offense is not the same without Ronnie Brown and New England needs this game after that Hideous Monday Night Loss to the Saints. The 2nd Quarter just started and the Patriots are up 14-0 and your thinking 63-14 New England Win! However in the Final 44 minutes and 56 Seconds the Dolphins outscore the Mighty Patriots 22-7 with Chade Henne completing 22 of 59 passess for 335 yards & 2 touchdowns. Patriots lose again and so do you! How the hell did this happen you wonder!
5) After all the tough losses today and least we can get an easy Over on the Seahawks/49ers game. This game is tied up 14-14 with 7:47 secods left in the second quarter. Translation, we need 2 touchdowns in nearly 38 minutes of football to cash this ticket! Not This Sunday! the Seahawks & 49ers combine to score 9 points in the final 38 minutes of the game leaving this game way under the posted total. It was the most painful 38 minutes of football you have had to sit through all year!
Those were the worse 5 losses of the Sunday NFL card. If you were any one of these games then you know exactly what I am talking about. Let a lesson be learned....Never Count Your Chips Until the Smoke has cleared and the Fat Lady has Sung!
