Week 7 of the NFL season was an INSANELY frustrating week for me. First off, my lock of the week Green Bay scored to put themselves over the line but then couldn't find a way to prevent Christian Ponder from marching down the field and scoring a late touchdown and prevent the Pack from covering.

But all was not lost, the Steelers were my #2 bet and they won and heading into Monday night, I still had my two teasers alive and the Packers game was the only game that I missed on my $5 10 team parlay. I was a little annoyed because, if the Pack had covered, I'd be a win away from making $1250 on a five dollar bet but even with that one loss, I could win $125 dollars (which would cover my Packers bet and put $25 bucks in my pocket) if the Ravens could just handle the lowly Jaguars.

Well, we all know how that worked out. The final kick in the groin was when the Ravens didn't get the onsides kick. I could not afford a Jacksonville score or else my one last hope, my 10 point teaser, would be ruined. I needed the Ravens to either stop the Jags cold or just let them run out the rest of the clock. And, of course, they let the Jags get into field goal range and THEN decided to stop them, leading to a field goal which killed my last bet.

LOCK OF THE WEEK: Part of me thought I should deposit some more money to go big on this one but given my run of luck and the fact that I'm in a two week Lock of the Week losing streak, I just went with a smaller bet on the Lions to take care of business in Denver.
WAGER: $35 Lions -3 over DENVER

LATCH OF THE WEEK: The Giants are starting to get healthy and are coming off of a bye so I think they'll be ready to put the wood to the lowly Dolphins. Miami is a complete mess right now, mentally and physically. I'm not as sold on San Diego as I probably should be to make this bet (and I think the Chiefs are a bit underrated) but I'm still going to go with the Chargers to play angry after blowing last week's game against the Jets and sending Kansas City home with an L. After placing my bets, I'm already feeling bad about the two bets I laid on the Chargers. I probably should have just gone with a straight bet on the Giants.
WAGER: $35 parlay on GIANTS -10 over Dolphins and Chargers -3.5 over CHIEFS

O/U TEASE: While I think the Giants could put up points against Miami, I don't see Miami doing much on offense so I like the Under there. The way that Matt Cassell and Phillip Rivers have been playing and given that the Chargers backs are a bit banged up, I'm going to go with more of a defensive battle in San Diego and go with the Under there as well, although in hindsight, I'm thinking this might be the weak link of my bets. And I think Pittsburgh and NE could be a shoot-out.
WAGER: $25 6.5 Tease on Giants/Dolphins under 50, Chargers/Chiefs Under 50.5, Pats/Steelers Over 45.5

I also did my customary progressive parlay and I did a seven team to win parlay. Let's hope the bad luck streak ends this week or else I might have to just close the sportsbook for the rest of the season.
