NFL Week 1 betting roundup: D'Andre Swift's drop, Lions' choke job ruins $175K wager

Not only was D’Andre Swift’s late-game end zone drop heartbreaking for fans of the Detroit Lions, it was extremely costly for one BetMGM bettor.

With the Lions trailing the Chicago Bears 27-23 with 11 seconds to play, Matthew Stafford delivered a perfect ball to Swift in the front left corner of the end zone. But the rookie running back out of Georgia dropped what would have been the game-winning touchdown.

Swift’s drop left just six seconds on the clock. And after one more incompletion, another Detroit heartbreak was complete.
