The Philadelphia Eagles got a really good win on Sunday and for many sports bettors across the country, they delivered a bad beat as Scott Van Pelt famously likes to say.
The Eagles were favored by 5.5 over the Redskins on the road according to Bet MGM, and after a leaping touchdown by Greg Ward Jr. with 26 seconds left, the Birds were up by four and on the brink of not covering the spread.
Bettors around the country were probably rejoicing in assuming that the Eagles would play down to their competition and make it a difficult win.
With Washington setting up for what looked like a hail mary attempt, Dwayne Haskins fumbled as time expired, allowing Nigel Bradham to scoop the ball up and return it 46 yards for a touchdown.
