Close Loss, Close Win

Kansas City had just kicked a field goal to go up 12-9 on Saturday with 1:48 left in the game. With the Chiefs +3, things were looking good until some scrub returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD to give the Browns a 4 point win and the cover.

I did manage, however, to have Green Bay hang on to win outright against the Steelers, 13-9.

On the flip side, I had two close wins tonight as I took the Denver ML (+130) and also parlayed Baltimore (-3.5 @ -115) and Over 31 (-110), each for 0.5 units. Denver hung on to win 17-13, surviving a 1st and Goal late in the game and also picking off an earlier San Francisco pass in the end zone. Baltimore won 29-3, giving me the win on the parlay by the skin of my teeth and paying off on the +257 price. Evidently you don't have to wait very long after a tough loss to get repaid with a close win.
