How lucky were MIN bettors Thursday night?

Whether they bet early and covered or bet late and just got a push at +6, MIN bettors were extremely lucky.  MIN lost 4 fumbles, and NFL teams that lose 4+ fumbles are just 13-99-4 ATS.

Could make the same argument the other way... how lucky were Eagles bettors that Justin Jefferson fumbled into the endzone. That was a 10 point swing. I never say should in gambling but it could have been 14-10 Vikings at halftime with the ball. Bottom line is the Vikings fumble the ball a lot and their passing offense is so good they still almost win games. The Eagles defense is already questionable and was missing 3 starters, 2 in the secondary. I don't think luck factored into Kirk Cousins torching that secondary.

That was a perfect answer.

Vikes had no close losses last year, they already have 2 after 2 weeks.

their luck has run-out.

Based on 4 lost fumbles they shouldn't have been in the game.

Interesting Eagles had 8 close wins last season and have 2 more after 2 weeks. Luck train ends soon for the Eagles.

We'll see if they can continue with all these close wins but history says otherwise.

The close win thing is somewhat skewed, Thursday is the perfect example, Eagles get credited for a "close" win in a game where their defense was on the field for 3 plays in the 2nd half while the game was a 1 score game, and they were the 1st 2 plays of the 2nd half and the final play where the vikings needed like 82 yards in 7 seconds. The game was never really in doubt for the eagles after halftime yet they get credit for a "close" win. 

I am sure they are many instances of this and vice versa, like the Falcons and Jags in week 1, Falcons were tied after 3 and won by 14 and dont get credit for a close win in a close game and the Jags were down 4 midway through the 4th and ended up winning by 10

I got lucky. Was at a party didn’t check the line until right before game time and had Phila -5.5 on FD. Hurts anytime td for practically even money was the real play. It amazes me how effective this team is with the qb sneak. Drives me nuts when teams need a yard are either in shotgun or handing it off 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
