The biggest upset of the season so far took place on Sunday with a bunch of games that were lower scoring than expected. It was a great day to be indoors. In the early Sunday slate of games, the Pittsburgh Steelers upset Tom Brady and the New England Revolution as 9.5 point favorites. Since 1970, the home team has been the big favorite. At PointsBet, the majority of the dollars bet on the game's money line was on the Buccaneers. Adam Pullen said that people thought it was a bingo space. It cannot lose if it is thrown on there. The team from Pittsburgh won 20-18. The Green Bay Packers were upset by the New York Jets as 7.5 point favorites in the third biggest upset of the season. Brady and Rodgers had been favored by at least a touchdown in each of the last 32 times. They both lost on the same day for the first time. The New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons also pulled off upsets, and one bettor with DraftKings nailed all four of them on a $20 four-leg money-line bet. Johnny Avello is the DraftKings sportsbook director. Three $300,000-plus bets were placed by a person in Nevada. • $390,000 on Jaguars +3 (-130)
• $330,000 on Buccaneers -8
• $330,000 on Browns -2.5
NFL notables
The three lost over a million dollars.
Craig Mucklow is the director of trading for Caesars. The number is moved a lot on his actions. We agree with his actions. He did well on Saturday.
This week, nine of 13 games have gone under. Half of the games this season have been under the total.
The Buffalo Bills beat the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 24-20. It was the first time in his career that he started a game as a home favorite.
The over/under total was the most important decision for many sportsbooks. Most of the money bet on the Bills-Chiefs total was on the over at PointsBet.
The Jets and Falcons are the only two teams that have started the season with losses.
The Falcons improved to 6-0 against the spread with their win. The Falcons are the third team this decade to cover the spread in the first six games.
The Jets beat the Packers on Sunday, improving to 4-2. The Jets are the second team in the Super Bowl era to have a winning record through six games despite being favored in all but one of them.
The Jets are 200-1 to win the Super Bowl, and one of the first bets taken was $5,000. The bet would pay $1 million if the Jets won the Superbowl.
Andy Morrissey is a trader for WynnBET. The biggest decisions we made were the Vikings and theBengals. The Bills and Chiefs were not the top-bet game this weekend. We will be cheering for the Cowboys.
The Eagles beat the Cowboys by a score of 26 17
At The Borgata, more money was bet on the Cowboys-Eagles game than on any other football game this season.
There is a multimillion-dollar liability on the Houston Astros winning the World Series, but not much will be done to mitigate it.
Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, the owner of Gallery Furniture in Houston, placed a $3 million bet on the Astros to win the World Series, which caused the liability.
If the Astros win the World Series, McIngvale will double the amount of money customers spend. He placed around $10 million in bets on the Astros to win the World Series. The odds ranged from 1 to 5. If the Astros win it all, he will make more than 70 million dollars.
The Houston Astros will play the New York Yankees in the ALCS. Game 5 will be played in New York. The odds on the Astros' opponent will not be increased once the game is played.
Pullen said there's nothing you can do to get off something like that. You're going to be a loser if you try. We just have to sit and wait.
The director of trading for Caesars said they might consider trying to attract money on the Astros' opponent with some alternate markets, but mostly planned to book the rest of the MLB playoffs.
"If they win, they win; that's how I feel," he said. When we offered the bet, we were happy to accept it. Don't take it if you don't want to be in that situation.
Pullen said that they believed there was a big jar of pickles.
The Astros are favored to win the World Series.
The underdogs went 34-11 against the spread. There were 15 upsets on a single day this season.
More money was bet on the Alabama-Tennessee game than on any other football game at the casino. The handle on Bills-Chiefs was more than double what was wagered on Alabama-Tennessee.
It was a big win for the betting public for the Volunteers to beat Alabama by 9 points. John Murray said that Tennessee was a popular public dog. Alabama lost a game and we lost ourselves. They were correct when they said everyone was on the Vols.
Murray said that they did okay on Saturday. At night, we gave a lot. We had a house player who was tied to the Utah money line. It wasn't a good final score.
Utah won but didn't cover the 3.5 point spread.
Several college quarterbacks who are considered pro prospects have their prices opened by Mojo, a sports betting platform that allows customers to buy and sell shares of individual career statistical performances in theNFL. After leading the Volunteers to an upset of top-ranked Alabama, Tennessee's Hendon Hooker saw his stock grow more than 12%. Despite the loss, Young remained the highest priced collegiate player.
