Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson said Monday night’s showdown with the undefeated San Francisco 49ers was the “craziest game I’ve ever been a part of.”<\/p>\n

For NFL fans, it was a heck of a back-and-forth ride. The game went into overtime, where Wilson threw a rare interception, but then a missed field goal by San Francisco backup kicker Chase McLaughlin gave the ball back to the Seahawks.<\/p>\n

It’s never smart to give the 30-year-old Wilson another chance at winning a game.<\/p>\n

On third-and-three and time ticking down, Wilson managed to escape the pocket and scramble for 18-yards. The first down he achieved would set up Seattle kicker Jason Myers, who redeemed himself from misses a week earlier by splitting the uprights on a 42-yard field goal.<\/p>\n

\n

The Seahawks’ 27-24 win over the 49ers was yet another Week 10 upset, as the home team was favored by six points. It was a good result for bettors, as the majority of the money was wagered on Seattle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Underdogs went 9-3-1 against the spread<\/a> in Week 10.<\/p>\n

MVP Odds<\/b><\/h2>\n

Wilson went 24-34 for 232 yards, one touchdown, and the OT pick. He also ran for 53 yards, including the critical 18-yard last-minute escape.<\/p>\n

\n

Russell Wilson is the best quarterback in the league,” Seahawks left tackle Duane Brown opined after the game. “When you have him under center, I don’t care how much time is on the clock. We feel like we have a chance.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wilson’s MVP odds are shortening even further after his electrifying performance. FanDuel cut his line from +250 to +160 \u2013 a difference in implied odds of 28.57 percent to 38.46 percent. A $100 bet now nets $160, should he be awarded the honor.<\/p>\n

As a result, Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson’s MVP odds lengthened from +250 to +260. Houston QB Deshaun Watson is third (+600), Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers fourth (+700), and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes fifth (+1200).<\/p>\n

Season Props<\/b><\/h2>\n

With the 49ers’ loss, there are now zero unbeaten NFL teams. Before last night’s game, FanDuel had San Francisco’s odds of going a perfect 16-0 in the regular season at +1100 (implied odds of 8.33 percent).<\/p>\n

“Everybody is pretty disappointed,” Niners linebacker Fred Warner said. “But at the same time, this loss is not going to define us. We have an extremely tight-knit group.”<\/p>\n

\n

San Francisco hosts the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and then has a difficult stretch that includes the Packers, at the Ravens, and at the New Orleans Saints. The combined record of the three latter teams is 22-6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After a bye week, the Seahawks will play at the Eagles, host the Vikings, and then play at the Rams. Those three teams have a combined record of 17-11.<\/p>\n

The Cincinnati Bengals remain the last winless team in the NFL. Before Week 1, oddsmakers had the team’s regular season over\/under win total at six games. Cincy needs to win out for the over to win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
