The heavily backed Kansas City Chiefs winning the Super Bowl was already a bad result for sportsbooks, but the addition of the game's second-ever overtime made it even worse. "Overtime was bad," Craig Mucklow, vice president of trading for Caesars Sportsbook told ESPN. "It was our biggest loser of the prop bets." Indeed, several popular prop bets only cashed because of the extra period, among them:
Patrick Mahomes Over 1.5 Touchdown Passes, which hit on the final play of the game.
Christian McCaffrey Over 129.5 Scrimmage Yards.
