If you happened to bet on the to cover the spread on Sunday afternoon against the , you likely had a very, very rough Sunday. After spending the entire game hanging tight with Philly, Washington made a last-second goof that ended up driving a stake straight into the hearts of their backers.Most pregame odds had Washington anywhere from +4 Chris Bassitt Jersey .5 to +6.5, so when the Redskins lined up for the final play of the game while trailing 31-27 and with the ball in their po se sion, it seemed like almost a sure thing that they'd cover no matter what. All they had to do was take a shot downfield for the Hail Mary and even if it were to be intercepted, the likelihood Sonny Gray Jersey of a pick-six would be minimal.But there are no sure things in gambling, and sometimes it takes a horrible bad beat to remember that.The defense seals the WIN! NFL (@NFL) As dropped back to pa s, the Philly pre sure closed in and forced him to make a desperate attempt to keep the game alive. The quarterback attempted to blindly pitch the ball to a teammate Stephen Piscotty Jersey rather than take the sack and the lo s that would come with it, which is understandable as a competitor. But that Eagles' defense scooped up the poor pitch attempt and Philly's had Josh Phegley Jersey a wide open path to the end zone.Just like that, the Eagles' lead jumped from four to 10, helping them make a miraculous backdoor cover while anyone who backed the Redskins around that +4.5 spread was left absolutely stunned.To every bettor who had Redskins +4.5. SportsLine (@SportsLine) Eagles cover on last play. FanDuel at Meadowlands... Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) Eagles Reggie Jackson Jersey Cover Chris Long AKA Decaf Metcalf (@JOEL9ONE) The Eagles just achieved the greatest backdoor cover in recent sports history Alex Kirshner (@alex_kirshner) As always: One person's bad beat is another's miraculous cover. It's what makes the world go 'round.
