i'm down by 28.7 points going into last night. opponent is done for the week and i just have james cook.

i've been given a 2% chance by ESPN.

he has a decent first half including a TD and suddenly hope still vibrates.

he has a shitty 3rd quarter where he's on the bench for most of it and i think, "well, it was a longshot."

4th quarter, "hey, he's getting some nice runs, we're back in this! we're in the red zone under 2 mins to go and i'm only down 5. if cook can get this TD, i'll pull this off." TD cook! i'm now up 6.5 and the bills are up a TD with 1:40 to go. i've got this locked up!

"whoa, the rams are moving it. bills can't stop them. we're going to OT. fun game! good thing i've got it sewn up now."

bills get it first in OT. cook gets a short run. ok, up 1.8 now. as long as he doesn't fumble, lol, right?

he fucking fumbles.

-2 to me. now down 0.2 and all the rams need is a FG to win.

ugh, rams moving it easily again. now they're in FG range. i'm going to lose by 0.2 in the dumbest way possible.

they blocked the FG?!

ok, just give cook one more carry and have him get 3 yards. first play, handoff to cook, bottled up at the line. he fights for 2... then 3. are they giving him 2 or 3 on that? it's 3! ok, take him out now. no negative runs, no fumbles.

he's still in. bills in FG range now. no, don't hand it to him again! shit, he's stuffed at the line. was that a 0 gain or a loss of 1? 0! oh good, they're kicking the FG now!

i win 171.94 to 171.9.
