Week 3

For the first time this year I won’t be able to invest in a game.  The Chargers/Chiefs line is Chargers -14.5 and no moneyline is available through my broker.

Last week the portfolio was down 16% due to the Chargers expected loss to the Patriots.  One encouraging sign from the game is that the Chargers were in the game until the 4th quarter. But New England puts so much pressure on their opponents to play a flawless game and the Chargers were far from that. They couldn’t score in the red zone and they had a killer fumble in the second half that allowed the Pats to ice the game. Somebody can beat the Pats, but it is going to take an almost perfect game.

The Packers tried to lose the game to Carolina but Rodgers, and the passing game was too much for the Panthers, even with Cam Newton making the D look terrible.  And the Saints beat the Bears handily.  There was a point at about 12:45 pm CST where the Packers were down 13-0 and the Saints were down to the Bears where it looked pretty bad for the portfolio. But NFL games are 4 quarters for a reason.

For this week, here is where we stand for possible returns:

0 – Chargers/Cheifs (-14.5)

0.52: Packers -190 Bears (-3.5)

0.5: Saints -200 Texans (-4)

Both of these games will be tough.  It’s a little surprising to see the Saints favored by 4 points, based on how well the Texans have been playing.  The Packers should beat the Bears but this game will be ugly. The Bears seem to make every game ugly.
