Saturday’s postseason opener between the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers was FanDuel’s most lopsided betting line for the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. According to the sportsbook, betters placed more than 10 times the number of wagers on the Chargers against the spread, which favored Los Angeles by three points.

And on the money, 66 percent of total bets and 62 percent of the overall handle was wagered on the Chargers. Instead DeMeco Ryans’ team delivered a masterpiece, forcing Chargers quarterback into three interceptions on defense, while quarterback CJ Stroud engineered a pair of touchdown drives on offense.
