Although it is far from a finished product, the AAF is on the right path and it could not have had a better opening weekend. This past slate of games saw a similar viewership and attendance was on the rise.Hell, it’s even got #DraftTwitter in a buzz as everyone was scrambling to find which team to pledge their allegiance to prior to the first whistle of the opening games. I truly think this is a product that will last and continue to evolve over the years, as long as the fans continue to show their support.One thing that makes it easier for fans to tune in and enjoy these games is the fact that there are a number of former players on each roster with some having possibly played on your favorite NFL squad.When it comes to fans of the Chargers, they have it easy as there are a number of former players spread across the AAF, at least one on four of the eight inaugural teams.Through the first two weeks of the season, some have seen more praise than others, but a handful have played a key role on their team’s early success.Kenneth Farrow - RB - San Antonio Commanders (1-1)Week 1: 14 carries for 37 yards and a touchdownWeek 2: 13 carries for 74 yards and touchdown Virgil Green Color Rush Jersey , two catches for 25 yardsMike Bercovici - QB - San Diego Fleet (1-1)Week 1: Completed 15 of 25 passes for 176 yards and two interceptionsWeek 2: Did not see actionTerrell Watson - RB - San Diego Fleet (1-1)Week 1: Three carries for 10 yardsWeek 2: 14 carries for 49 yardsNelson Spruce - WR - San Diego Fleet (1-1)Week 1: One catch for 11 yardsWeek 2: Four catches for 58 yardsBrandon Oliver - RB - Salt Lake City Stallions (0-2)Week 1: Eight carries for 40 yards, two catches for 21 yardsWeek 2: 14 carries for 59 yards, one catch for six yardsTrovon Reed - CB - Birmingham Iron (2-0)Week 1: Two tacklesWeek 2: Three tacklesTenny Palepoi - DE - Salt Lake City Stallions (0-2)Week 1: One tackle, one tackle-for-lossWeek 2: Three tacklesNick Novak - K - Birmingham Iron (2-0)Week 1: 4/4 on field goals, long of 47 yardsWeek 2: 0/1 on field goalsNick Rose - K - San Antonio Commanders (1-1)Week 1: 3/3 on field goals, long of 29 yardsWeek 2: 3/3 on field goals, long of 50 yardsYounghoe Koo - K - Atlanta LegendsWeek 1: 2/2 on field goals, long of 38 yardsWeek 2: 2/2 on field goals, long of 29 yardsGreg Ducre - CB - San Diego FleetWeek 1: Three tacklesWeek 2: Two tackles Good morning, ladies and degenerates!As you know Caleb Sturgis Color Rush Jersey , our favorite rascal, the Degenerate Gambler, enjoys putting $100 on various Chargers-themed bets each week. He is terribly addicted, we’re sorry to say, but we can rest easy knowing that he doesn’t really have to worry about collectors at the moment, as he’s been on a good winning streak for the last few weeks. Let’s see how he’s done to this point, shall we?LAST WEEK: Week 12: Cardinals @ ChargersWager 1 - Cardinals spread (+14):$35.00 [-115] L Wager 2 - Total points (over 44.0): $50.00 [-105] W $47.62Wager 3 - First half total (>20.5):$15.00 [-155] W $9.68Week 12 Totals:+$22.302018 Total: +$98.54Another good week for the Gambler, but that’s largely because he figured that there would be a bit of a shootout. As things would happen, there was no shootout at all. The Cardinals simply got decimated, and the Chargers put up an incredible number of points in the second quarter Mike Pouncey Color Rush Jersey , helping the Gambler elevate two of his bets and destroying the first. He is okay with this situation!But what about today’s events?Week 13: Chargers @ SteelersWager 1 - Total Points (Under 52.5):$45.00 [-110]Wager 2 - Total receiving yards - Antonio Brown (<84.5):$10 [-110]Wager 3 - Total receiving yards - A. Ekeler (>28.5): $15 [-110]Wager 4 - Total passing yards - Big Ben (>301.5):$15 [-115]Wager 5 - No team scores 3 consecutive times: $15 [+200]Total potential win:$106.28Total potential loss:Everything again!So, diving in here, we can try and see what it is the Gambler envisions for this tough-to-figure-out matchup. The Steelers historically play pretty well on their home turf, but the problem with both teams is that this is not a must-win game. Yes, the winner almost assuredly stamps their postseason ticket on account of this win. However, there are clear and easy paths to the postseason for each team with a loss today. Expect a surprisingly sloppy game. If any team takes over, it’s the Chargers because they might suddenly smell that the Chiefs are vulnerable.Everyone is expecting an offensive explosion, and for good reason. But 52.5 is just a really, really high point total. The Gambler honestly wanted the Chargers spread to be 3.5, because he has this game marked as a Chargers loss by 3 (on the final play of the game Isaac Rochell Color Rush Jersey , no surprise). Without a decent kick-back for taking the Chargers moneyline (a paltry +155), the Degenerate Gambler went on the game-day individual bets.JuJu Smith-Schuster has been the Pittsburgh #1 lately in everything but the public consciousness. For that reason, expect him to flourish and Antonio Brown to be limited to low yardage (and 2 TDs in crazy situations). The Gambler was most unsure about that bet, but pretty sure that Big Ben throws for more than 301.5. He’s done that the majority of the season. After last week, many people are starting to notice Philip Rivers, but don’t let his accuracy distract you from a terrible bet: Over 290.1 is a bad bet for Rivers, because he’s only done that a few times this season, with 259 on last week’s record day. Roethlisberger is good for high yardage whether he’s got a good game or a bad one.The Gambler feels that the betting world hasn’t caught on to Ekeler being much of a factor, so he’s quite happy with a [-110] return on what should be an easy mark: catch 28.5 or more yards. Ekeler has averaged 32.2 per game, and Gordon clocked in at 45.3. Great bet!Finally https://www.chargersfanstore.com , it’s another great week for the Gambler because he gets to take his FAVORITE bet! He wanted to go hard on ‘No team scores 3 consecutive times,’ but it’s a positive return because it doesn’t hit all that often. Still, the key to winning that bet is to take it when two strong teams meet. When he saw +200 on the return, this is one of the juiciest times to take a long-shot bet this year. He’s not ready to mortgage the week on that high return, but there could be worse choices for a Degenerate Gambler.Good luck this week!-Jason ”Steel My Heart” Michaels
