When one bettor put $20,000 on Melvin Gordon to score a touchdown Thursday night at BetMGM, it seemed reasonable.
Gordon was getting +200 odds to score on Thursday night. He's playing a little more than half of the snaps as the Denver Broncos' starting running back, and while he had only two touchdowns in six games, there can be a lot of variance with touchdowns. Maybe he was even due.
Then the Broncos scored no points with just two first downs in the first half. Not good if you have $20,000 on the Broncos running back to score a touchdown.
