Countless bettors toasted the Ravens’ cover over the Bills, including two high rollers at The Mirage who won more than $500,000 between them on Baltimore.

Chiefs-Patriots was a night Roger Goodell dreams about. It turned into a nightmare as the NFL’s subpar officiating got yet another airing from coast to coast in a signature game.
The Raiders fell this time to the Titans before an unhappy crowd of 52,760 at Oakland-Alameda Coliseum, where boos rained down on the team that will move to Las Vegas in 2020.
The matchup between the 49ers and Saints, the two NFC heavyweights, lived up to the hype, and San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had his defining game.
Much of the aggressiveness of Maxx Crosby and Clelin Ferrell in the pass rush came at cost to the defense overall in the first half, as the Raiders’ run defense was so porous you wondered why the Chargers even allowed an obviously wild Philip Rivers to throw the ball at all. The good news: it was much better in the second half.
The Raiders showed grit and young, improving talent in rallying to beat the L.A. Chargers on Thursday night.
When facing Khalil Mack for the first time since he was traded to the Bears, Jon Gruden was not about to let his former linebacker tap dance on his head.
Washington converted a fourth-and-6 and a fourth-and-12 before Case Keenum threw a 4-yard TD pass to Trey Quinn with six seconds left to deal Eagles bettors a bad beat.
For nothing else, beating Denver on Monday night would signal a positive first act to move past the drama that was Antonio Brown.
The days of being labeled a degenerate for betting on NFL preseason games are long gone. Now your friends can only call you crazy if you parlay a preseason game with the WNBA and Canadian Football League.
Dan Wetzel, a sports columnist at Yahoo, said it hardly seems equitable that a bunch of guys who never played the game should be the ones deciding who gets to wear the yellow blazers.
Steelers quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger was picked off four times in the second half and two were returned for touchdowns as Jacksonville burned the betting public in the best decision of the day for Las Vegas sports books.
The Raiders lost for a third straight time in falling to Baltimore 30-17 before 54,980 at the Coliseum, the beginning of three consecutive home games for a silver and black side that that is beyond pedestrian in almost every area right now.
