While I wasnt on Houston or Indy yesterday I could not help wonder if what I was witnesssing was one of the worst losses I have ever seen. To have three turnovers in less than three minutes resulting in 21 points is one of the most painfull loses I have seen.

Indy did the same thing to TB a couple of years back, except that time with about 3mins left.

I remember that game. A Monday Night tilt about five years ago. Houston should just quit and forfeit the season. How do you bounce back after that?

Houston was a play on my shortlist that I ended up eliminating on Saturday, but I felt terrible for all the Houston backers. To lose ATS by 1 point in that manner had to be gut wrenching.

Not only for us on the wagering side, but also the players, coaches and citizens of Houston, their 1st home game of the season and after having to deal with everything w/ Hurricane Ike. That was terrible. At least after the Hurricane most of them should have a better sense of perspective, and it is just a football game after all. Still, I do feel for them...

I actually found +4 early in the morning, so it only pushed for me. But even though I had a very good day in the NFL yesterday...I'd have been furious if I would have lost on Houston. One of my buddies had +3.5 and can't decide who he wants to beat up more...Manning or Rosenfels...

Funny..I had Tampa in that game too....

And had Jacksonville -2.5 when the Saints threw 5 laterals on a kick return to keep their playoff hopes alive...only to have Carney to miss the extra point to lose by one. Funny thing is even if he hits it I still have a chance in OT.

I do not ever remember anything like this EVER going in my favor.
 

We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time

What was the live betting on Indy covering when they had te 4th and goal down 27-10

If any book offered it, it had to be 100-1 at that point.

Houston was the play the whole time (until the 0:00). Why anyone thought INDY was the right play at the beginning of the game was questionable... this HOU/INDY game is usually hard hitting.

i had +4 so i got a push but man was i pissed.

i agree with jet plane...peoplke who played Indy are unbelievably ignorant to how bad this Indy team is this year...there is no way in hell they make the playoffs...they are living on reputation alone and i will exploit them all year...i have bet against them all year and got f'ed in this game and Minn...they should be 0-4

One of the most god awful things I have ever seen...feel bad for the Houston backers and great for the Indy backers....its rare because most times when something like that happens, it usually favors the Dog...very strange game
