I saw this prop. Have no idea how to calculate the actual price for 12 teams to kick FG's.


It was a good week for some NFL bettors and a horrible Sunday for FanDuel Sportsbook, with the company cashing out $20million to its customers.

According to the New York Post, some sharp football fans got in on a juicy Week 2 parlay.

To win, each NFL team playing in the (all ET) 1pm, 4:05 and 4:25p slates had to kick a field goal.

This was priced at 200/1 on FanDuel, while DraftKings also had the special but at a leaner 30/1.

Once bettors had jumped on the FanDuel offer, it did drop slightly, moving down to 130/1 prior to 1pm kickoff Sunday.

One X user took home just shy of $318,384 from two separate bets totaling $1,584.

With two games on the Monday Night Football schedule, there were 12 games prior to Sunday night's Dolphins vs. Patriots primetime matchup.

As you may have guessed, field goals were scored in all 12, though fans had to wait until around 6pm ET for confirmation of success.

The 4:25pm kickoff between Dallas and New York needed a Jets field goal to force a heavy FanDuel payout.

Just before the half Zach Wilson led Gang Green into the red zone but could not find a wide open Garrett Wilson for six, and thus Robert Saleh and Co. had to settle for three.

Up stepped Austin Seibert, who had only signed with the team on Saturday due to Greg Zurlein's injury, to knock the field goal through - and in turn, a hole in the FanDuel kitty.
