Last-Second Victory Escapes 49ers, Betting Public Who Took Over
Bettors who had a wager on the 49ers-Browns total watched on the edge of their seats as San Francisco kicker Jake Moody trotted onto the field with nine seconds left and the visitors hoping for a game-winning field goal.
And there were a lot of them.
The Over represented one of the most common wagers in Week 6 with 73% of the money and 70% of the tickets at BetMGM on the Over 36. Those who had the ticket watched a win sail wide. Moody’s 41-yard kick missed wide right and meant the 49ers were handed their first loss while Over bettors were dealt a push that felt like a loss themselves.
The Browns earned the 19-17 victory with the total closing at 36 at BetMGM. The total initially opened at 42, however, so bettors who jumped on the Under early might not have had as stressful an afternoon.
