The sportsbooks took a bath on the Fins

Caesars Sportsbook vice president of trading Craig Mucklow said the comebacks produced mixed results for his shop.

"We didn't want the Dolphins," Mucklow told ESPN on Sunday night. "But the Cardinals was the big one for us, because of the [Las Vegas] hometown money and being in the afternoon."

"Both the Dolphins and Jets were bad outcomes for us," WynnBET trader Andy Morrissey told ESPN. "We were rooting against the improbable comebacks in the room."

Wild NFL comebacks lead to big swings at books

The Cardinals and Dolphins were each as long a 25-1 in the fourth quarters of their games. The Jets were 60-1 before coming back.

I am not a gambler but it’s always nice to see the little guy win in Vegas. The house has the odds on their side but sometimes the odds work against the house too.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Seems pretty easy to follow the money.

Also makes more sense how the AZ comeback might have been made “more likely”. The casinos needed to make up the cash they lost on the Dolphins and Jests.

Speaking of the Cardinals, Kyler Murray was stagnant the entire game until late and then suddenly he looked like the HS version of himself where he runs around the field with impunity like Tanner from the Bad Bears when the adults can’t catch him. His elusiveness is unreal.
