Super Bowl bad beat: Game-clinching kneel down sinks Matthew Stafford prop bet

One particular prop bet came down to the very last play of Super Bowl LVI — a game-sealing kneel down by Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.

And if you were on the over, it resulted in a horrifically bad beat.

Stafford’s rushing yardage prop opened at 4.5 yards at BetMGM but moved up to 6.5 yards by Sunday. Ahead of the Super Bowl, Stafford rushed for six yards or fewer in 14 of the Rams' 20 games this season.

For much of the game, however, Stafford was sitting at seven rushing yards thanks to a 7-yard scramble in the first quarter.
