2024 NFL Bad Beats: Giants doom Over bettors late; Mahomes kneels under rushing total
Every week in the NFL, bettors, sportsbooks or both bemoan some form of bad beat.
On Sunday of Week 3, it was Over bettors that felt the pain on two separate instances.
Let’s check out how it all went down.
Giants skip late TD, Over bettors lose
Over bettors in the Giants-Browns game on Sunday saw victory flash before their eyes.
Then, in a poof, it was gone.
With 2:23 to go in the fourth quarter, and the Giants leading 21-15, New York was looking to close things out against Cleveland on the road.
Giants running back Devin Singletary took a pitch from quarterback Daniel Jones near the 50-yard line, charged down the right side of the field and broke a few tackles before it was clear daylight to the end zone.
However, looking to drain the clock, Singletary decided to slide at the 1-yard line and not score the touchdown.
Jones and the G-Men proceeded to kneel the ball on three consecutive snaps, and the game ended at 21-15.
The Over/Under coming into that game? A smooth 38.5.
That means Under bettors jumped for joy while Over bettors jumped in anger.
In addition, the Browns were 6.5-point favorites (-265 favorites) at DraftKings Sportsbook entering the game, meaning New York (+215 underdogs) was able to cover by winning outright.
Mahomes kneels, goes under rushing total
In the Sunday night game, the Chiefs barely edged the Falcons 22-17.
Things all but ended when Kansas City got a fourth-down stop at its own 13-yard line with just under a minute to go, forcing a turnover on downs.
However, the night was not over for Over bettors.
K.C. QB Patrick Mahomes came into the night with an Over/Under rushing total of 19.5 yards. And entering the final possession of the game, he had 30 rushing yards to his name.
But then, the kneel-down came into play.
After three consecutive kneel-downs, Mahomes lost 13 yards off of his rushing total, meaning Under bettors got the win, while Over backers were sent packing.
