NFL Week 8 Bad Beats

1. Robert Tonyan PI Blows A +11601 Parlay

The Bills flexed their muscle on Sunday night with a dominant home performance to win over the struggling Packers. It was the type of game that left both sets of fans happy - those who root for Buffalo got their win, while those who bet on Green Bay got the cover. Unfortunately for one bettor, though, he'll be left to rue the decision for the refs to call a Pass Interference infringement on Robert Tonyan who was drilled with a pass from Aaron Rodgers into the end zone. The play was called back and this guy's 4-leg Anytime Touchdown Same Game Parlay that would have turned $5 into $585 was gone.

2. The Panthers Choke

If I was the guy who lost a 12-leg +50250 moneyline parlay on the events of the Panthers/Falcons game on Sunday, I would be sick.

Sunday's game between Atlanta and Carolina was one of the best of Week 8 with a thrilling final quarter where the momentum shifted back-and-forth until DJ Moore seemingly won it at the death for the Panthers, with a 62-yard PJ Walker bomb finding Moore in the end zone to tie it up with 12 seconds left. The extra point would have no doubt won the game for Carolina, but Moore's excessive celebration led to a 15-year penalty, pushing the PAT back and resulting in an Eddy Pineiro miss.

The bettor's bet still wasn't dead, though, with the Falcons turning the ball over in OT inside their own 20. There was no way the Panthers could lose from here, right? Wrong. Pineiro missed another kick and Atlanta go down the other end and nail their field goal attempt to win.

A $5 bet would have resulted in a cash of over $2500.

3. Justin Jefferson Falls 2 Yards Short

Minnesota receiver Justin Jefferson hasn't scored a touchdown for a while but he has still been a reliable choice for bettors who have been betting on his receiving yards with the excitement machine recording 100+ yards in Weeks 5, 6 and 7. That run ended on Sunday with Jefferson logging 98 yards, falling 2 yards short of the magical triple figures and costing one bettor a 7-leg +6965 parlay that would have returned almost $700 from a $10 bet.
