Upset Pick Falls Under .500

NFL games are becoming like poker bad beats -- you're doing everything right and way in the lead until the last minute of play or the last card, when your opponent pulls off an improbable victory.

That's the story of my Upset Pick gone wrong today. The Broncos were up by two touchdowns with just a few minutes to play, but they made enough mistakes (like kicking right to Devin Hester, even after he'd returned a punt for a TD) to let the Bears catch up and tie them before the end of regulation, then drive down the field and kick the winning field goal.

I had the Broncos +2, they lost by 3, 37-34. My season record falls to 5-6-1.

Argh!
