ERST LESEN! » He is terribly addicted, we’re sorry to say

Good morning Denzel Perryman Color Rush Jersey , ladies and degenerates!As you know, our favorite rascal, the Degenerate Gambler, enjoys putting $100 on various Chargers-themed bets each week. , but we can rest easy knowing that he doesn’t really have to worry about collectors at the moment, as he’s been on a good winning streak for the last few weeks. Let’s see how he’s done to this point, shall we?LAST WEEK: Week 12: Cardinals @ ChargersWager 1 - Cardinals spread (+14):$35.00 [-115] L Wager 2 - Total points (over 44.0): $50.00 [-105] W $47.62Wager 3 - First half total (>20.5):$15.00 [-155] W $9.68Week 12 Totals:+$22.302018 Total: +$98.54Another good week for the Gambler, but that’s largely because he figured that there would be a bit of a shootout. As things would happen, there was no shootout at all. The Cardinals simply got decimated, and the Chargers put up an incredible number of points in the second quarter, helping the Gambler elevate two of his bets and destroying the first. He is okay with this situation!But what about today’s events?Week 13: Chargers @ SteelersWager 1 - Total Points (Under 52.5):$45.00 [-110]Wager 2 - Total receiving yards - Antonio Brown (<84.5):$10 [-110]Wager 3 - Total receiving yards - A. Ekeler (>28.5): $15 [-110]Wager 4 - Total passing yards - Big Ben (>301.5):$15 [-115]Wager 5 - No team scores 3 consecutive times: $15 [+200]Total potential win:$106.28Total potential loss:Everything again!So, diving in here, we can try and see what it is the Gambler envisions for this tough-to-figure-out matchup. The Steelers historically play pretty well on their home turf, but the problem with both teams is that this is not a must-win game. Yes, the winner almost assuredly stamps their postseason ticket on account of this win. However, there are clear and easy paths to the postseason for each team with a loss today. Expect a surprisingly sloppy game. If any team takes over Antonio Gates Color Rush Jersey , it’s the Chargers because they might suddenly smell that the Chiefs are vulnerable.Everyone is expecting an offensive explosion, and for good reason. But 52.5 is just a really, really high point total. The Gambler honestly wanted the Chargers spread to be 3.5, because he has this game marked as a Chargers loss by 3 (on the final play of the game, no surprise). Without a decent kick-back for taking the Chargers moneyline (a paltry +155), the Degenerate Gambler went on the game-day individual bets.JuJu Smith-Schuster has been the Pittsburgh #1 lately in everything but the public consciousness. For that reason, expect him to flourish and Antonio Brown to be limited to low yardage (and 2 TDs in crazy situations). The Gambler was most unsure about that bet, but pretty sure that Big Ben throws for more than 301.5. He’s done that the majority of the season. After last week, many people are starting to notice Philip Rivers, but don’t let his accuracy distract you from a terrible bet: Over 290.1 is a bad bet for Rivers, because he’s only done that a few times this season, with 259 on last week’s record day. Roethlisberger is good for high yardage whether he’s got a good game or a bad one.The Gambler feels that the betting world hasn’t caught on to Ekeler being much of a factor, so he’s quite happy with a [-110] return on what should be an easy mark: catch 28.5 or more yards. Ekeler has averaged 32.2 per game, and Gordon clocked in at 45.3. Great bet!Finally, it’s another great week for the Gambler because he gets to take his FAVORITE bet! He wanted to go hard on ‘No team scores 3 consecutive times,’ but it’s a positive return because it doesn’t hit all that often. Still, the key to winning that bet is to take it when two strong teams meet. When he saw +200 on the return Derwin James Color Rush Jersey , this is one of the juiciest times to take a long-shot bet this year. He’s not ready to mortgage the week on that high return, but there could be worse choices for a Degenerate Gambler.Good luck this week!-Jason ”Steel My Heart” Michaels I don’t know about you guys, but l absolutely love the days of the NFL Combine where we can watch some of the largest humans on the planet run around and attempt to giddy-up with all that junk in..."I don’t know about you guys, but l absolutely love the days of the NFL Combine where we can watch some of the largest humans on the planet run around and attempt to giddy-up with all that junk in their trunk.This year’s crop of hog-mollies weren’t necessarily the most athletic group in recent years but there weren’t a ton of surprisingly un-athletic prospects, either.In a draft where the Chargers could use another new face or two to reinforce their front five, it may be tough to land an instant-impact prospect outside of the first two rounds but there’s good news: this draft is so deep with talent around the Bolts’ defensive needs that they could absolutely wait into early day 3 and still come out with a high-upside player.So in a position group that didn’t offer a ton of “wow”, here are my Winners and Losers from Friday’s workouts.WinnersGarrett Bradbury - C - North Carolina StateThe consensus top center in the class, Bradbury is an elite combination of size. speed, and quickness. His 4.92 forty was good for third among offensive linemen while his 34 reps on the bench press were good for second.His lower-body explosion numbers (31 in. vert, 104 in. broad) translate from his film which should have NFL teams salivating at the chance to grab the next uber-athlete at the pivot.Chris Lindstrom - OG - Boston CollegeLindstrom has been a big hit since the Senior Bowl when him and Dalton Risner of Kansas State became bros and started hooting and hollering their way through drills and team sessions, quickly becoming fan-favorites.The former-Eagle posted the second-fastest forty by an offensive linemen and exhibited the excellent movement skills that have made him one of the top offensive guards in this class.His 4.91 was behind only Texas A&M’s Erik McCoy (4.89) and his 117 in. vertical jump was second only to Washington State’s Andre Dillard.Andre Dillard - OT - Washington StateMy personal favorite player at the position this year, Dillard came in a took care of business.At a hair under 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, Dillard was one of four offensive linemen to run a sub-5.0 forty time, joining Bradbury, Lindstrom, and the aformentioned McCoy.His 4.96 was fourth-best while the fleet-footed tackle notched the furthest broad jump among the group at 118 inches.Dillard is far and away the best and most naturl pass protector in this class. While I was in Mobile, it was oh-so apparent and the biggest reason why I have coveted Dillard for the Chargers over last few months.LosersGreg Little - OT - Ole MissAs a former five-star recruit in high school http://www.chargersfanstore.com/Joey-Bosa-Jersey , Little chose Ole Miss and went on to start most of the games during his three years in Oxford. On film, Little is a mammoth of a man with some unrealistically light feet and some real power behind his paws when he decides to deliver a blow to unsuspecting defenders.Listed by the team at 320+, Little came into the combine at 310 pounds, likely to help his chances of running faster and jumping higher.This was not the case.Aside from his broad jump, which was sixth-best among OL at 113 inches, his forty time was second-worst among his position (5.33) while his vertical of 25 inches was “good” or third-worst. For a guy billed to be a potential first round pick, with all the fundamental shortcomings he has at the position, I’m not sure anyone takes a stab at Little on day one anymore.David Edwards - OT - WisconsinAs a former quarterback in high-school who was initially committed to Wisconsin as a tight end recruit, I expected Edwards to test somewhere among the top of his peers but that just wasn’t the case for the former-Badger.His 5.28 forty, vertical jump (25.5 in.), and his broad (99 in.) were all near the bottom of the position group and this had to be quite the surprise for the 6-foot-6, 308-pound tackle who some deemed to be one of the more athletic offensive linemen in the entire class.On the plus side, Edwards did look natural during field drills which, at the end of the day, may be what saves his draft stock.
