Week 4 in the NFL kicked off with an incredibly bad beat.
In terms of the outcome of the game, Brandon Aubrey’s miss from 51 yards in the final minute meant nothing for the Cowboys-Giants “Thursday Night Football” game. Instead of the final being 23-15, it ended 20-15, with Dallas picking up a win over its NFC East rival.
However, in 2024, it’s not all about the result on the field. It’s also about how things shape up off it, whether that be in fantasy or in the gambling world.
Aubrey’s kick was a gut punch to a number of bettors on Thursday night. While it didn’t impact whether Dallas won or lost the contest, it did affect plenty of gamblers who put their money on the Cowboys to cover the spread.
Here is more on Aubrey’s missed kick and how it impacted bettors.
