Most Heartbreaking Bet
Packers PK vs. the Lions on Oct. 7, 2018 — one of the first bets I ever made in Vegas. Mason Crosby went 1-for-5 on field goals and 0-for-1 on extra points. Oh, and Aaron Rodgers lost two fumbles. Oh, and Kevin King lost another fumble. They lost, 31-23, and broke my heart in the process.
