So me and one of my sons are watching the KC game on Sat before the Eagles game.
We start talking about the possibility of what needs to happen for LV and LAC to both get playoffs with a tie.
Two things #1 15.5 point favorite Indy needs to lose to Jax. If that happens, then a tie in the season finale puts both LV and LAC in the playoffs. We think Wentz has it in him, not sure about the tie.
”Let’s see if we can bet that”. Three places wouldn’t take it, but we get it at one place at 217-1 odds.
The Wentz’s lose in embarrassing fashion. Now we just need a tie in the finale.
LAC came back from down 15 in the 4th and converts what seemed like a million fourth and longs and a two point conversion to tie it up and send to OT.
Each team kicks a FG in OT. At this point all LV needs to do is get a first down run the clock out with about and both go to the dance. This is what looks like is going to happen as LAC weren’t calling timeouts. Then all of a sudden, they call a timeout. LV must have thought that meant LAC was trying to win the game. Then LV tries to win, rallies down and kicks a game winning 47 yd FG.
The $21 bet would have paid me and my two sons approx $4,500.
No lie.
Tough sleeping last night.

The drama of last night was so insane some people are calling it rigged.
I know the players of both LAC/LV were trying their best to win obviously, but how insane is it that the game SHOULD HAVE ended in a tie, only for Brandon Staley to call a timeout so ridiculously stupid that Andy Reid likely blushed.
Is Staley into the mob for money or something?
If I'm the owner of the Chargers, I would've texted him that he's fired, and to buy his own goddam plane ticket home. Change the locks, and notify security to beat his ass if he even shows up at the stadium.
