Favorites were only 6-5 against the spread on Sunday. It was the bettors, however, who simply predicted the correct winners and losers.<\/p>\n
\nThe public just nailed it,” Boyd Gaming sportsbook director Bob Scucci added. “They had the big favorites \u2013 Bears, Chiefs, Panthers, and Vikings, as well as the short dogs, Texans and Steelers.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
One bettor wagered $100,000 at MGM books on the Chiefs, Washington Redskins, and New England Patriots. Kansas City and New England both delivered wins for the bettor.<\/p>\n
MGM said it took 10 times more money on the Chiefs than the Browns, six times more on the Steelers than the Baltimore Ravens, and five times more on the Vikings than the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n
Of course, week nine won’t put any sportsbooks out of business. The 2018 NFL season has been wildly successful for the house, with operators winning a record $56.3 million in September.<\/p>\n

As for the Super Bowl, the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> are the favorite at 4\/1. They’re followed by the Patriots (9\/2), Chiefs and New Orleans Saints (11\/2), and Steelers at 10\/1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Arizona Cardinals, Browns, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all at 500\/1, meaning a $10 bet would net $5,000 should one of those most unlikely scenarios come true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
