The prime-time game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans determined whether it would be a winning or losing NFL Sunday for multiple Las Vegas sportsbooks.
Three prominent books reported taking big bets on the underdog Texans on Sunday, including one "well into six figures" at an MGM book.
Sportsbook operator CG Technology took a $50,000 money-line bet on the Texans and a $100,000 on Houston +2 from the same customer. The Westgate SuperBook also reported taking a large bet on the Texans from a house player or high-roller, casino guest.
The undefeated Chiefs outlasted the Texans 42-34, sending the shops that took the big bets on Houston to a winning day.
