If you were a NFL bettor wagering on an over in one of Sunday’s Week 1 games, chances are very high that you didn’t cash that ticket.<\/p>\n
That’s because an astonishing 11 of 12 games stayed under the betting total on Sunday, including a 14-9 Los Angeles Rams win over the Houston Texans. Eight games didn’t finish with 40 combined points scored.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, that’s really helped, not that many Same-Game Parlays will hit with that” Christian Cipollini, told Yahoo Sports in a text message Sunday night. “The highest-scoring game was the one with the lowest total.”<\/p>\n
Indeed, the game with the lowest total on the board \u2014 37.5 in the Pittsburgh Steelers-New York Jets game \u2014 flew over the total, as the Steelers won 34-32. It also happened to be the most-bet total in terms of total wagers at BetMGM<\/a>, and 92% of the total dollars wagered were on the under.<\/p>\n One bettor at BetMGM wagered $150,000 on the Jaguars-Panthers under 46 and cashed that ticket, as Jacksonville defeated Carolina 26-10.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Philadelphia Eagles-Dallas Cowboys game stayed under the total of 47.5<\/a> in Thursday night’s opener, while the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers snuck over the total of 46.5 on Friday night.<\/p>\n Several Vegas oddsmakers told Yahoo Sports that the unders cashing at such a clip helped their overall day, but favorites winning 11 of 12 games didn’t help either.<\/p>\n Unders are now a remarkable 12-2 in Week 1, pending the result of the Bills-Ravens game on Sunday night and Vikings-Bears on Monday Night Football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you were a NFL bettor wagering on an over in one of Sunday’s Week 1 games, chances…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,88579,1255,23167,5347,1240,3052,1263,593,5132,85],"class_list":["post-126573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-christian-cipollini","tag-houston-texans","tag-jacksonville","tag-jets","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-los-angeles-chargers","tag-los-angeles-rams","tag-nfl","tag-pittsburgh","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
