Everyone who bet the Vikings-Bears under (44) was having a dandy Sunday evening … until the fourth quarter started.
Up to that point, this had all of the makings of a typical NFC North slog: 17 points were scored in the game's first 15 possessions.
Then, as tends to happen in just about every NFL game, the fourth quarter got a little weird:
- Field goal
- Punt
- Pick-six (made 2PT)
- Touchdown
- Field goal
- Touchdown (missed 2PT)
- Kneel
That's 28 points in the game's final seven possessions — and 17 in the last five minutes, with Stefon Diggs' fateful TD coming with just 52 seconds left in the game.
The scoring binge brought the total score to 45 points, barely eclipsing the consensus over/under of 44.
While under bettors had to be in agony, the public was thrilled: 67% of the action was on the over according to our data, making it the fifth-most popular over/under bet of Week 11.
