Oof, this NFL bad beat hurts from Monday Night Football.
The Green Bay Packers were cruising to a 24-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams, but they were near the goal line with just under two minutes to go and trying for a touchdown. Aaron Rodgers took the snap and immediately threw to touchdown machine Christian Watson … but the receiver didn’t turn around. Incomplete pass on what surely would have been a score, and then Aaron Jones got a first down before Rodges kneeled three times to end the game.
If you had the OVER at 39.5 points, as many bettors did, Watson’s mistake was a bad beat for you:
"There may be a few people out there disappointed that the Green Bay Packers are not going for more points…or maybe they're happy."

If Christian Watson catches that ball from Rodgers…
– He clears his OVER 47.5 yards (-110)
– He hits an Anytime TD Prop (+140)
– He hits a Last TD prop (+750)
– The OVER (39.5/40) hits (-110).pic.twitter.com/o2AG8vEXtt— Ben Heisler (@bennyheis) December 20, 2022
