Fittingly, the bottom line for Las Vegas sportsbooks and bettors came down to the Raiders-Jets “Sunday Night Football” game at Allegiant Stadium.
NFL
The Colts lost their season opener to the Jaguars and have lost rookie QB Anthony Richardson to an injury. But sharp bettors still expect them to cover at Jacksonville.
When Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton returned a fumble for a score in the Super Bowl, countless bettors roared at sportsbooks, and bookmakers let out a collective groan.
Atlanta native Ryan LeGates won the Westgate SuperContest with a 60-29-1 ATS record (67.4 percent). He also won the first nine-week in-season contest.
BetMGM and Caesars each reported a seven-figure loss, the SuperBook reported a six-figure loss and Station Casinos also reported a big losing day capped by the Packers’ 45-30 win and cover over the Bears on “Sunday Night Football.”
New Orleans, which whipped Green Bay 38-3, delivered the biggest win on a monster day for the books as underdogs went 10-3 ATS with eight outright upsets entering Sunday night.
“(Tennessee’s upset) ranks up there with one of our best decisions ever outside of the Super Bowl,” Westgate vice president Jay Kornegay said. “(Sunday) was a different story.”
This weekend, we have two live ’dogs in the NFL playoffs. The Saints are getting 5 points at the Vikings, and the No. 1-seeded Eagles are catching a field goal against the defending NFC champion Falcons.
