The bettor certainly had a ton of luck considering that the Bengals came all the way back to take a 24-21 lead in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs were forced to kick a field goal in the final seconds of regulation and the two teams went to overtime. Despite possessing the football first, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was intercepted and the Bengals would go down and kick the game-winning field goal to clinch the 27-24 final score.
Meanwhile, the 49ers found themselves trailing 20-17 in the final two minutes of the game and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo then threw an interception to clinch that correct final score. The 49ers had led in the second half before Rams kicker Matt Gay connected on a 30-yard field goal to give the Rams a 20-17 lead.
According to Darren Rovell of Action Network, FanDuel also announced that two other bettors correctly predicted the final scores of the two games. However, the payouts were substantially smaller. One bettor placed a $5 bet that won $145,000, while another bettor turned $2 into a grand total of $58,000.
