Oh so close!

I am competing in an NFL pick 'em league, all you have to do is pick the winners of each game as well as assign a point value to each pick. The stronger you feel about the game the more or less points you assign. It's late, I don't know if that makes sense...but I digress. So I was in 1st place after all of Sunday's games...by 1 point. I had Pittsburgh to win the Monday night game but only had 1 point to bet with. I added up the other players points and figured out that if everybody bet on the Steelers I'd lose, even if I bet on Pittsburgh. So at 6 PM I switched my bet to the Ravens, trying to get the upset. Once the game starts your bet is locked, so once it started I checked and I made the right play....I was the only one within reach of winning that bet on Baltimore. Everyone else had their bet on the favored Steelers.

The game was defensive and at half time Baltimore was up by 10, and things were looking good. Then in the matter of 15 seconds of the 3rd quarter Pittsburgh scored 2 touchdowns and completely took over the game. But all was not lost, the Ravens scored late in the game and sent it to OT. Then in OT they won the coin toss, everybody knows that if you win the coin toss your team wins 98.6% of the games! Well they choked, punted to the Steelers who proceeded to kick an easy field goal to win the game and steal my Pick 'Em victory. However, all was not lost since my Father in law came from 3rd place to 1st and won this weeks cashola!
