Vikings spread bettors, look away. Leading 15-10 with just over two minutes remaining, and facing a crucial third-and-5, Kyler Murray rolled to his right and threw across the field to a wide-open T.J. Hockenson for what looked like a game-sealing touchdown. Until it wasn\u2019t. Instead of heading into the end zone, Hockenson pulled up and slid at the 1-yard line. The Vikings then kneeled out the clock to secure a 15-10 win. Minnesota was a 10.5-point favorite. A touchdown would have made it 21-10, enough to cover the spread even without the extra point. Instead, Hockenson\u2019s slide delivered a bettor\u2019s nightmare, leaving Minnesota backers stunned on Sunday evening. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

Our first true bad beat of the season probably won\u2019t be the last.
