Wil Lutz FG saves Saints in OT, bettor $1.48 million

The Saints overcame a 20-3 deficit to down the Chargers 30-27 in OT. The win saved a bettor, big time.

It was one win for the New Orleans Saints Monday night. For one bettor, they saved him $1.48 million on a moneyline wager and won him $446,000.

Trust us, no one would be surprised if the wagerer needed a defibrillator.

Wil Lutz kicked a 36-yard field goal with 5:08 left in overtime to give the Saints, who trailed by 17 at one point, a 30-27 lead.

The Chargers’ subsequent drive went for naught when  Justin Herbert found Mike Williams, who was stopped a half-yard short of a first down at midfield on a fourth-and-six.

Brees was 1-48 when falling behind by as many as 17 points in his career. The only victory came in 2009 against the Miami Dolphins. The Saints trailed that game 24-3 and went on to win 46-34.

Make Brees now 2-48 and add $446,000 to someone’s wallet.

Anthony Lynn and his Chargers are now 1-4 after losing another one-score game.
