102/1

To celebrate the 102nd season of the NFL, one of the betting websites I occasionally gamble at has priced up a bunch of 102/1 specials for each team. 

I decided to have a £1 punt on each of the selections just to see if anything comes in.

Most of the wagers were done blindly. All I did was punted the £1 and then - once I had spent the £32 - I printed off the page to see what I have gambled on. 

It would be an understatement to say I need a miracle for one of these to pull off, but thought it would be fun to look back at when the NFL's 102 season is over and done with.

Here are the things I need to happen for each bet.
