Every year the books kindly give the public the opportunity to wager on how many games a particular team will win over the course of the 17 game regular season schedule. For everyone who had the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals over on their win totals last year when the Bills won 13 games while their preseason number was 11½, and the Bengals won 12 with a win total number of 10, somehow didn’t get paid for their bets.
Why?
Because the season win total rules dictate that all 17 regular season games must be played and the Bengals and Bills never completed the game they started before Damar Hamlin was injured.
Mind you, backers of the Bills and Bengals over their win totals last season didn’t lose their wager either. It was a non play.
Fair.
Yes.
