In all actuality, week 2 was a good week - let me explain how....
A) NY Giants -2: Wow, this one hurt. I really thought this was going to start the week off on the right foot. From Slayton dropping a wide open touchdown all the way to the flag on the last field goal for Washington to win. It was a rough way to start the week - not a good omen.
B) Chiefs -6/Bills -6.5/Saints -6: Obviously, this did not go as planned. It started off with the Bills absolutely trouncing the Dolphins. I stated everywhere that I would not want to be Miami having to play Buffalo after their week one let down. After that, everything went downhill fast. New Orleans continually lost players and coaches throughout the week and it was too late to back out of the bet. The only thing I could do was hope that Winston was back to his "eating W's" way - which he wasn't. Kamara had one of the worst games of his career and everything spiraled out of control from there. To follow that, the Chiefs lost in September for the first time ever in the Mahomes era. Many people will look at the Mahomes interception - but lets be real, this one is not on Mahomes. The Chiefs could not figure out a way to stop Jackson and his playmaking ability. The dude literally ran the ball right up the gut - looking like a Oklahoma drill.
C) D. Jones over 230 passing/J. Taylor over 13 receiving: This one is on me. Jones hit the passing on TNF and I should have hedged Taylor's receiving yards. I should have locked up the guaranteed money. I am an absolute idiot. An Ignoramus. A moron. A dumbass. Clearly, Taylor did not get the needed receiving yards and this did not hit. Taylor never even really got the needed opportunities, with only one target.
Enough about the bummers, let's get to the good stuff!
D) Mahomes passing/Jackson rushing over 365 yards: This was a no brainer. Jackson rushed for more than 100 yards rushing and Mahomes had over 340 yards passing. This was locked up by the end of the 3rd quarter. The best part about this bet? If you follow @FFDojoSensei on twitter, I said that this is the bet you double down on - which we did. So in total, we placed a $50 bet to win $45 profit.
E) Aaron Jones 2+ touchdowns: Once again, if you follow @FFDojoSensei (and I am not sure why you wouldn't), I always tweet out a MNF bet. This week it was Aaron Jones 2+ touchdowns at +450. This was a smooth $25 to win $137.50. Aaron Jones was in line to have a huge game - anytime a defense with a decent secondary approaches the Packers - they use their dominate receiving back in open space. Jones made the most of his opportunity, scoring 4 touchdowns and locking up this bet before half time.
Week 2 Total: +$83
Season Total: -$33
WEEK 3 HERE WE COME!!!
