NFL Week 15 Big Bets Recap: The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers game on Thursday night ended with zero touchdowns scored.
Indeed, the absence of touchdowns is a prop bet available at most sportsbooks for every NFL matchup. In this instance, it proved to be a winning bet.
This recap highlights that prop winner, along with notable parlays, unique victories, and significant bets — showcasing both winners and losers — as they recap NFL Week 15 betting and touch on college football betting.
Field-Goal Festival
The first half of the Rams-49ers matchup unfolded under steady rain, resulting in a 3-3 tie at halftime. While the rain subsided in the second half, the lack of touchdowns continued.
Ultimately, the game featured six scoring plays, all field goals, with Los Angeles claiming victory at 12-6.
At DraftKings Sportsbook, one bettor placed a $100 wager on the prop bet of no touchdowns being scored, at impressive +18000 odds (180/1). This savvy bettor walked away with a remarkable $18,000 in profit.
Another bettor at FanDuel took the same bet, but with longer odds of +26000 (260/1). However, this individual only wagered $1, resulting in a payout of $260. Nevertheless, such returns are hard to dismiss.
- Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp
- Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua
- Rams running back Kyren Williams
- 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings
Over 15,000 bettors witnessed none of these four players, or anyone else, reach the end zone.
Parlay Partay
Combining anytime touchdown scorers into a parlay is increasingly popular among bettors looking to maximize their returns. This trend continued in Week 15 NFL odds.
In one instance, a DraftKings customer utilized a $25 bonus bet — essentially a free roll — on a seven-leg anytime touchdown parlay that included:
All seven players scored touchdowns on Sunday, with odds of +89113, or approximately 891/1. This free bet yielded a staggering payout of $22,278.30.
Additionally, a notable four-leg parlay focused solely on Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen resulted in a significant win. The bettor staked $380, banking on Allen to:
- Pass for 350 or more yards (he achieved 362)
- Score the first touchdown (which he did)
- Throw two or more touchdown passes (he threw two)
- Rush for 60 or more yards (he rushed for 68)
With substantial odds of +42500 (425/1), this bettor collected an impressive $161,500 in profit.
Two-TD Triumph
Cincinnati’s Chase Brown, Houston’s Nico Collins, and Washington’s Terry McLaurin each scored two touchdowns on Sunday, transforming a $2 bet into a payout of $1,233.10.
Here’s Hoping You Had It
Cashing out on wild parlays for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars isn’t the only way to win. Multiplying any wager by 10, 20, or even 27 can significantly enhance one’s bankroll.
I Like Big Bets And I Cannot Lie
As usual, a multitude of six-figure bets were placed during Week 15 NFL odds. The largest wager, however, fell short: a $220,000 bet on Lions -2 against the Bills at Caesars Sports. Detroit suffered an outright loss, 48-42, making this wager a substantial loss for the bettor.
Another BetMGM customer placed an impressive $180,000 on the Chiefs’ moneyline at -225. This bet required Kansas City to win against Cleveland, which they did, winning 21-7. Consequently, the bettor profited $80,000, resulting in a total payout of $260,000.
More notable wagers from Caesars Sports include:
- $120,000 on Seahawks +3 (-120) against Packers. Seattle lost 30-13 and failed to cover.
- $115,000 on Panthers -2.5 (-115) against Cowboys. Carolina, a favorite for the first time since the 2022-23 season, lost 30-14.
- $110,000 on Cardinals -5.5 against Patriots. Arizona won 30-17, giving the bettor a $100,000 profit (total payout $210,000).
- $110,000 on Rams +3 against 49ers. Los Angeles won outright 12-6, leading to a $100,000 profit (total payout $210,000).
- $105,000 on Broncos -3.5 (-105) against Colts. Denver triumphed with a 31-13 victory, resulting in a $100,000 profit (total payout $205,000).
Shifting gears to college football.
On August 29, Barstool Sports’ Big Cat (Dan Katz) placed a $5,000 wager on Colorado’s two-way star Travis Hunter to win the Heisman Trophy at +4000 (40/1).
On Saturday night, Hunter secured the award, allowing Big Cat to cash in with a $200,000 profit ($205,000 total payout) at DraftKings Sportsbook.
This victory was undoubtedly worth the 3.5-month wait, and may everyone experience similar fortune with their futures bets.
