Al Michaels could see it coming from a mile away.
As the Chiefs lined up to run a play on fourth-and-4 from inside the 10-yard line, leading 45-10, this exchange took place between Al and Cris Collinsworth in the Sunday Night Football booth:
Al: "56.5 is a number a lot of the fans are thinking about"
Cris: "So a FG would be just fine"
*Chiefs run on 4th and 4 inside the red zone and turn it over on downs*

Everyone who bet the game knew exactly what he was talking about.
The over/under did indeed close around 56/56.5 at various sportsbooks, and with 55 points through the first 47 minutes of the game, the over appeared to be a lock.
But then Andy Reid decided to be Andy Reid, and, well, Michaels just couldn't help himself.
Pour one out for over bettors everywhere.
