Things got dicey down the stretch when former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota threw a 45-yard pass to Olamide Zaccheaus and marched Atlanta to the Washington 2-yard line with 1:10 left. The Commanders were clinging to a 16-13 lead over the Falcons in the fourth quarter when Joey Slye kicked a 45-yard field goal to put them ahead 19-13 and in position to cover with 9:05 left. “My wife had to step out of the room,” Taylor said. There were three entries left in Week 12, when the father of four sweated out his final pick on Washington (-4½) with his son Hayden and his wife, Angie, who teaches second grade at Tony Alamo Elementary School. Taylor picked 12 straight winners ATS to top a field of 6,284. Entries cost $25 each, with a maximum of five for $100. In Last Man Standing, entries pick one game against the spread each week and are eliminated with a loss. Taylor, 52, recently turned $25 into $150,000 after winning Station Casinos’ Last Man Standing pro football contest. “Making the numbers was the fun part,” Taylor said. When the Canarelli Middle School math teacher was 10, he made lines on games for fun in his native Oregon.Īrmed with his point spreads, Taylor’s mother and stepfather went to Reno and placed some bets for him. Marshal Taylor has always been fascinated by numbers.
