NFL 2017

[Midwest Spy]

That chiefs vs redskins game was closer than I thought it'd be.

Not sure if you wager on football or not, but the ending in that game drove bettors to either seek a counseling session with their shrinks or sent them into a state of euphoria.

KC was favored by 7.

So, with 8 seconds left and the Chiefs lining up for a go-ahead FG, anyone who bet on the Skins at +7 was all but guaranteed a win.

Losing by 3 is still within the line of 7 (for the inexperienced among us). When KC kicks off, Washington will throw up a Hail Mary and burn the final 4 seconds.

There's really no way they'd lose by more than 7 right?

I mean, you'd have to have something crazy like a fumble or INT returned for a TD, but that wouldn't happen because if a KC player had the ball, they'd just fall to the ground and end the game, not wanting to risk a fumble with a return, right?

Right!!???

So, the unthinkable happens as Wash tries a dazzle dazzle, fumbles, and a Chiefs player scoops it, breaks a couple of tackles, and scores, to give KC a 9 point win, and a cover!

That's probably one of the more improbable covers I've ever heard of, and I've watched A LOT of them.

I would have loved to have been in a sports book to see the reaction of those in there.

Pain to Joy

And

Joy to Pain.
