End Of SD v Pittsburgh Game

[BlueBallz]

Any NFL fans MUST have seen the end of this game. If you havent go onto nfl.com and see the last play of the game. Now, I dont think the NFL is bent but this game leaves one scratching your head. Pittsburgh was winning 11-10 and the spread was 5. SD had the ball on the 20 yard line with 3 seconds left and they had one play to score. A completed forward pass, then a couple of "backwards passes" and Pitts end up running a fumble back for a TD that would have given them a winning margin greater than 5 and would have "beaten the spread". While the outcome wasnt in doubt, those who bet with the spread it certainly was. The refs inexplicably disallowed the TD and the game ended 11-10. White Pitts won, this who bet with the spread and with Pitts-lost. The NFLs explanation of the resversal is bogus and doesnt make sense. Strange ending and, believe me, Millions changed hands. BTW, Pitts had 13 penalties and SD had 1 all game!!

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!

Here is the story from Fox News


Blown call throws Vegas into chaosUpdated: November 17, 2008, 4:49 PM EST

(AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers walked off the field Sunday just happy they had won.

A lot of bettors in this gambling city were more concerned by how many points they ended up winning by.

Winners turned into losers and losers ended up winning when a game that should have ended up 17-10 or 18-10 instead went into the record books as the first 11-10 final in NFL history. Though the score made no difference in the win and loss column, it did in the wallets of a lot of bettors on the Las Vegas Strip.

"Anyone who had a bet on the Pittsburgh side and thought they had won weren't too happy," said John Avello, director of the race and sports book at the Wynn resort.

A mistake by the officials on the final play of the game between the Steelers and San Diego Chargers didn't alter the outcome. But it did mean bettors who thought they had won money on the game actually lost, while those who thought they had lost ended up winning.

The Steelers were favored by 4 points, meaning the apparent touchdown scored by the Steelers' Troy Polamalu on the last play of the game made the difference between Pittsburgh covering the point spread or not. When the touchdown was disallowed, Pittsburgh bettors who thought they had won on a fluke on the last play were left holding worthless tickets.

Avello said there might have been $10 million bet on the game statewide, and many times more than that in illegal bets around the country and in offshore Internet betting sites. There was more money bet on Pittsburgh, he said, especially in parlay bets.

Though the officials later said they made a mistake in calling back the touchdown, the official score remains 11-10, and even if the NFL changes it, Nevada sports books paid off on the final score from Sunday.

Put it all aside, BB, let's revel in the Jets resurgence,
although I am sure there a few of my former assosciates more than a little upset with the "official' score.

Good thing it wasn't the Bonerus game.

The Jets HAD to win that game v the Pats Kevin!! Now they can make a statement v The Titans on Sunday. What a great football day here in NY on Sunday. Jets @ Titans at 100 pm and Gmen @ Arizona at 415!! Glad I have the weekends off this month.

Smutts what has gotten into YOU? You post something from Fox? I thought they were evil incarnate. Trust me the mone was way more then $10 million that changed hands. Believe me, the books won a lot of LARGE on this error. They NFL STILL hasnt explained things properly. The fucked up and its funny that it had nowt to do with the outcome of the game!!!

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE
