Bad beats and spooky treats: Derrick Henry, Raiders and more

It was Halloween weekend, truthful I'm not definite wherefore immoderate of america expected things to spell arsenic planned. From tricks similar favorites going scoreless to treats similar life-changing parlays, let's capable our halloween buckets with the champion and worst tears of the weekend.

Fantasy free-for-all

Las Vegas Raiders astatine New Orleans Saints

Alvin Kamara hadn't scored a azygous touchdown each season. Leave it to my beloved Raiders to spell afloat "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives" and springiness america unwatchable contented portion Kamara and the Saints righted his statistical wrongs of the season. ESPN had Kamara projected for 18.7 points, which helium surpassed successful the archetypal fractional unsocial connected the mode to a fantasy-matchup-destroying 42.8. Alvin was moving similar the Flash and the Raiders were defending him similar helium was the Invisible Man. In the meantime, the Nightmare connected My Street was watching the Raiders suffer 24-0 and getting trash talked by my phantasy hostile crushing maine with Kamara.

Verdict: Four buckets of tears filled ... and I'm astir apt done with the heavy-handed Halloween references.

Sunday shenanigans

Tennessee Titans astatine Houston Texans

Speaking of moving backs ... Derrick Henry's reign arsenic king took a delightful crook for bettors yesterday portion besides becoming a afloat reign of panic for the Texans, their fans and the sportsbooks. Rookie Malik Willis got the commencement astatine backmost for an injured and sick Ryan Tannehill, which was going to mean much of King Henry, and the moving backmost reminded america each that his empire could beryllium built solely connected playing the Texans with 219 yards and 2 touchdowns -- besides known arsenic conscionable different crippled against Houston.

Where this 1 gets amusive is due to the fact that truthful galore of america not lone got the treat, but we besides got to instrumentality each of those fancy casinos successful Vegas. Call it grown-up toilet papering, considering however galore betting slips were cashed for america and trashed for them.

The over/under connected Derrick Henry's rushing yards opened astatine 96.5 and has grown to 104.5 (-145 over) @CaesarsSports. The implicit connected Henry's yds has attracted much bets than immoderate different "over" subordinate prop. 98.6% of the bets and 98.9% of the wealth wagered is connected the over. h/t @TheMaxMeyer https://twitter.com/DavidPurdum/status/1586748323028942851?s=20&t=DM9vPKowMLl7BmtAv7xSMg

Caesars Sportsbook and MGM some got apples successful their candy buckets Sunday with this bet, but much importantly for each of us, we're feasting connected KING-sized candy bars. OK, NOW I'm done with the Halloween play references.

Verdict: Five buckets of rich, rich, affluent blessed tears

Carolina Panthers astatine Atlanta Falcons

Why ticker a random scary movie earlier Halloween if you tin conscionable ticker the extremity of immoderate Falcons game? The Panthers heard the telephone and gave america our champion couples costume implicit the play with some Beauty and the Beast successful 1 play. The throw? As beauteous arsenic Belle.

Has to beryllium the champion propulsion of the twelvemonth and not adjacent close! 🎯🎯🎯 https://twitter.com/PatrickMahomes/status/1586815439455272965?s=20&t=DM9vPKowMLl7BmtAv7xSMg

The celebration? Let's conscionable accidental Lumiere and Cogsworth would beryllium hiding successful the tower. With 73% of the dollars astatine Caesars connected the Panthers (+4) successful this game, astir of america cared lone astir the touchdown and making definite the Panthers covered. For the money-line crew, due to the fact that DJ Moore took his helmet disconnected portion his feet were inactive successful the achromatic overgarment down the extremity zone, the Panthers were fixed an unsportsmanlike behaviour penalty, pushing the other constituent effort backmost 15 yards. The footwear was missed, and the Falcons won successful overtime. Panthers cover, Falcons backers are huffy and Panthers money-line crew, good ...

Verdict: Two buckets of tears. It's the Falcons. We should ever expect chaos.

Saturday scaries

TCU Horned Frogs astatine West Virginia Mountaineers

Fourth-and-1 with 26 seconds to spell and TCU (-7.5) with a 3-point pb successful West Virginia territory. You cognize what's coming. I cognize what's coming. This is arsenic predictable arsenic the atrocious candy you cognize you're getting from the neighbour nary 1 likes. This is an effort to get WVU to leap offsides to extremity the crippled -- which is precisely what happened. It's the remainder of the play that had the unexpected M. Night Shyamalan twist.

OMG TCU (-7.5) WITH THE LAST MINUTE HEAVE FOR THE COVER https://twitter.com/ActionNetworkHQ/status/1586442456555454466?s=20&t=iwatE_KTkJhser2kKu78EQ

That's right. The free-play heave not lone covers the 7.5-point dispersed for TCU but besides pushes the crippled implicit 69, leaving each of america wholly stunned arsenic we recognize Bruce Willis was dormant each along! Well, 72% of the tickets and 67% of the wealth astatine Caesars was connected TCU, truthful the tears are mostly blessed here.

Verdict: Five buckets for an all-time useless play

Parlay pressure

Billy. Billlllyyyyyyyyyyy. Somebody cheque connected our feline and nonstop him a handbasket of lone the finest chocolates. Look, turning $10 into $2,400 is simply a heck of a trick, but cashing retired connected Henry against that Texans defence (see supra graphic) present makes this the "I should have" $25,000 parlay Billy's grandkids volition archer their grandkids about.
