Saturday night's Wild Card Round game between the Chargers and Jaguars was disastrous for one sports bettor in particular in what was perhaps the most idiotic live bet of all-time, placed when the Chargers were leading by 27 points in the second quarter. As we now know, the Jacksonville Jaguars would pull off one of the bigg est comebacks in NFL Playoff history when they erased that 27-point deficit against the Chargers to win 31-30 with a field goal as time expired in regulation, resulting in a huge loss for one DraftKings customer.

The Jaguars looked well and truly out for the count in the early stages of Saturday's game as former No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence put up an absolute stink-fest, throwing four interceptions as the Chargers, led primarily by Austin Ekeler, walked all over the home team with three touchdowns and two field goals to establish the 27-0 lead. When Cameron Dicker nailed a 23-yard field goal with 4:25 left in the first half, our NFL predictive analytics model gave LA a 94.2% chance of winning the game, equating to implied odds of -1612.
