It would be easy to lay blame for Monday Night\u2019s Cowboys-Giants bad beat on the black cat<\/a> that ran on to the field. But the fact of the matter is, it\u2019s on Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.<\/p>\n

The fumble-prone rookie quarterback picked the wrong time to lose his grip on the ball. It\u2019s not that the game was on the line for New York. But it certainly was for those who bet on the over\/under. At William Hill and PointsBet sportsbooks, that point total for the Monday Night Football<\/a> game was 48.5.<\/p>\n

With 4:18 left in the game, the Cowboys led 30-18, and the Giants got the ball at their 15. It took them 14 plays (and a 15-yard personal foul on Dallas) to get to the Cowboys 24. However, the Giants casual nature at the end of the game meant there was only :22 left.<\/p>\n

While the Giants certainly had a chance to score a touchdown and make it a winner of over bettors, they didn\u2019t have any play longer than 12 yards during the drive. It certainly looked like those with the under would pull it out.<\/p>\n

Scoop and Score<\/h2>\n

However, as Jones stepped back to pass, Dorance Armstrong was able to get his hand on the ball before Jones could throw it downfield. The ball ended up going backwards for a lateral and several players dove to the ground for the ball.<\/p>\n

But all they did was knock it around for a charging Jourdan Lewis, who scooped it up and went 63 yards for the bet-settling touchdown, which made the score 37-18, with just :06 left.<\/p>\n
