Patrick Mahomes’ dramatic end-of-game kneels were a terrible bad beat for his prop bettors

Sunday will be the last time anyone ever feels comfortable betting on a Patrick Mahomes rushing yards prop. Because although Mahomes easily eclipsed the 19.5 yards he needed for the over Sunday night, a series of dramatic kneel downs at the end of the game put him right back under that number.

When it comes to bad beats, it doesn’t get much worse than this.

Going into Kansas City’s last possession of a win over the Atlanta Falcons, Mahomes had 30 rushing yards. But because there was still more time on the game clock than the play clock, and the Falcons still had two timeouts, Mahomes needed to kill some time before taking his knees. And the best way to do that was to simply go backwards.

Mahomes took three straight knees for losses of five, four and four yards, respectively, to finish the game with 17 yards.

That was absolutely disgusting if you had the over on Mahomes, which almost everyone who bet on that particular prop did.

At BetMGM, 94% of tickets were on Mahomes to go over 19.5 rushing yards. Many of those tickets began popping up on social media after the kneel downs, and let me tell you. People were NOT happy.

To make matters worse for bettors who also happen to be Chiefs fans, Mahomes hurt his ankle on one of the kneel downs.

Ouch.
