Chiefs? Over bettors had to endure an emotional roller coaster to get to the window. Kansas City blew a 14 point fourth quarter lead, but decided to go back to Patrick Mahomes with the game tied late in the fourth quarter.

The Redskins disappointed anybody that threw money down on their Over 7.5 wins, as Washington lost to the lowly Giants as a 5-point favorite in the Meadowlands. I?m sure Over bettors will now look back with disgust at the Redskins? late collapse vs. the Saints in Week 11.
