As many are aware, this unsavory fiend is actually kind of a nice guy when you get to know him, just don’t let him watch your kids and never loan him more than $5. Each week, the Degenerate Gambler puts $100 on the line and wears down his fingernails in the process. The Degenerate Gambler is a true gambler at heart— he’s not looking to not lose his money each week, he’s aiming to live lavishly on all that $100 can get him Trevor Williams Color Rush Jersey , even if that means a few weeks eating old tires.Last week the Chargers underperformed against the lowly Bengals. While the Degenerate Gambler was ‘on’ to this potential outcome ahead of time, he wasn’t able to capitalize on it. His largest bet was on the OVER hitting, which he missed by 1.5 points. He was also surprised that Jeff Driskel didn’t throw a single pick, but was quite proud to nail the field goal bet (the Bengals hadn’t hit multiple field goals since October).Week 14Bengals @ ChargersWager 1 Total points (Over 48.5) $45 [-110] L Wager 2 Total receiving - M.

A rare positive-value bet hit, and that always puts him in a good mood. Of course, that keeps him in the red for the season, so he’s hoping to right the ship tonight.Week 15Chargers @ ChiefsWager 1 Chargers spread (+3.5) $35 [-110]Wager 2 Chargers moneyline $35 [+165]Wager 3 Total points (>53) $30 [-115] Total possible win: $ +115.66Total possible loss: EverythingWell,how’s about that? The Degenerate Gambler is really beginning to believe in the Chargers. The Chiefs are a great offensive team Dan Fouts Color Rush Jersey , and the Chargers are not shabby in that respect. Both teams are going to be very motivated to win, so this could very well be a high-scoring affair.Additionally, both teams are hurting at the running back position. This generally means either a defensive slugfest or an aerial showdown. Prop bets for both QBs would be very much in line with the Degenerate Gambler’s thoughts here. However, with the possibility of frigid weather, the Gambler went for points as a whole.Although the Chargers moneyline at +165 isn’t as delicious as the Degenerate Gambler would have hoped, he also is happy to take the bet.. because it’s clear that he thinks the Bolts will be motivated and eager to secure a win tonight.-Jason “They’re starting to believe” Michaels This is a great time of year to be thankful for what we have, where we have been, and what the future holds. Although the Chargers have lost their way a bit in recent years, the month of December still holds such incredible promise! This advent calendar is an attempt to hearken back to these days of December joy. Each day will bring a new advent from the Bolts’ history that makes it wonderful to be a Chargers fan.Dec. 03: December Football is Coming Back!Can you feel it? It’s in the air. Not quite fall, but not quite spring. AH YES Lance Alworth Color Rush Jersey , winter! Chargers football has often been a force to be reckoned with in the winter.Philip Rivers has led the charge in regards to this late-season renaissance.Since taking over as quarterback of the San Diego Chargers in 2006, Rivers has helped lead them to a 35-17 record in games played in December and January.In 2016, it was 35-14. After the smoke cleared from 2017’s odd resurgent year, the record stood at 40-15. The Chargers won all but one of their games last December, but their loss to the Chiefs was what kept them out of the playoffs (oh, and an 0-4 start).In 2018, the Chargers are 1-0.Clearly, from this growing sample, you could make out the trend that has gained real steam again.The Lynn years are a marked improvement over the McCoy years (in a variety of ways). The Chargers were, and again are Kellen Winslow Color Rush Jersey , incredibly successful on the field come December.Well, until recently...As recently as 2014, NFL.com had this to say:As of today, Tom Brady is now at 59-12 (.830) in post-November regular season football. Philip Rivers is now third on the list with 40-19 (.677).From 2013 to 2016, the Chargers posted a 2-13 record for post-November football. Outside of that stretch, they have a .863 average. Yow!But this is NOT an article on how sad they have been lately, it’s a celebration of how successful they have historically been in this month!2006 - 5-0 (Philip Rivers begins starting for the Chargers)2007 - 5-02008 - 4-0 (you’re starting to see where this December stuff comes from, aren’t you?)2009 - 5-02010 - 3-2 (Philip Rivers marks his FIRST December loss)2011- 4-12012 - 3-22013 - 4-1 (Mike McCoy begins his tenure)2014 - 1-32015 - 1-42016 - 0-5 (We’ve seen enough of the real McCoy)2017 - 4-1 - Anthony Lynn’s first year.2018 - 1-0 - Unbeaten world championsI don’t care who you are, that’s impressive. During Rivers’ first 8 years with the franchise, they went 33-6 in December. No Philip Rivers Color Rush Jersey , let’s reduce that further. In Rivers’ first 4 years with the Chargers, they did not lose in regular-season football after November. That just does not happen!With an incredible win over the Steelers on Sunday Night Football this year, the Chargers look well-oiled for another fantastic December. There are some really tough teams yet to go, but they’ve already hurdled what most consider to be their second biggest challenge on the 2nd-half schedule.-Jason ”December to Remember events are a limited time celebration” Michaels
