The 2015 NFL Wild Card Round brought some unforgettable moments for sports fans all around the world.
The 2015 NFL Wild Card Round started with Kansas City’s road victory over ACF South champions Houston Texans. The outcome did not surprise experts of gambling facts, but the 30–0 result was harsh. The Chiefs won a playoff game after 22 years. We have also seen a defensive end lining up in the quarterback position, ca. the first time ever in league history.

The trick play didn’t work out for J.J. Watt (and Vince Vilfork on his right hand), but it was cool at least. This was the first in a row of four road wins, a feature that never happened in NFL playoffs history before.
On Saturday night we experienced an extremely tight, tense and very long rivalry game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was the craziest of the 2015 NFL Wild Card Round. The hosts have almost won it, thanks to Ben Roethlisberger’s injury, but they were able to blow the game away in the end. Unnecessary penalties were called on Vontaze Burfict and Adam ‘Used to be Pacman’ Jones in the last minute, bringing the Steelers 30 yard closer to the Cincinnati end zone and costing their team the victory. Jones went crazy after the game, insulting the referees on his Instagram account.

It was easy for Chris Boswell to kick the game winning field goal from that position and to set up a Pittsburgh at Denver matchup for the Divisional Round. The highlight of the game and maybe the whole 2015 NFL Wild Card Round was Martavis ‘Alien’ Bryant’s crazy catch. The play that dominated sports scores news all over the world was one of the most spectacular wide receiver moves in the history of the NFL.
There’s a reason Martavis Bryant’s nickname is “Alien.” This somersault TD catch is pure insanity. #PITvsCIN https://t.co/nswMny6nxq — NFL (@NFL) January 10, 2016
There were also some controversial calls from the officials, but had Burfict and Jones acting more like adults, Cincinnati would be preparing for a Divisional game against the Patriots at the moment. Instead, they are already into offseason. The last time when Cincinnati have won a playoff game was 25 years ago.

On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks played another extremely close game vs the Minnesota Vikings. With -6 °F (-21 °C) at kick off, this was officially the third coldest game in league history. The hosts missed Marshawn Lynch, who wasn’t able to come back after his injury and it looked like the hosts can handle the rolling Seattle Seahawks. However, a miracle play from Russell Wilson changed everything.
Only Russell Wilson could take a botched snap and sure-fire 20-yard loss.. And turn it into a 35-yard pass. WOW. https://t.co/Xqlty0CGqp

The hosts would have been still able to win the game, but their kicker, Blair Walshed missed the would-be game winning field goal from close range. Though the hold was bad, he took full responsibility for the mistake.

Sunday’s action was wrapped up by the Green Bay Packer’s victory at the Washington Redskins. That was nothing special, just Aaron Rodgers and his offense playing the way they used to do. The defense did also well against Kirk Cousins, who wasn’t able to deliver his usual home performance. Gambling news also reported that Redskins outcast Robert Griffin III has cleared his locker room after the game.
Kansas City at New England and Green Bay at Arizona will be played on Saturday, while Sunday’s action will feature Seattle at Carolina and Pittsburgh at Denver.

Pro boxer Floyd Mayweather flaunts his winnings on Instagram, after betting large amounts of money on the Seahawks and the Colts.
Floyd Mayweather is certainly one of the luckiest punters out there. The man has won $105 million over the past year by betting on sports scores. He began the week by adding almost $1 million to his total winnings, after placing a lot of money on the Seahawks and on the Colts.
The professional boxer took the opportunity to show off his latest winnings on social media after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Washington Redskins 27-17 in a messy game with a total of 16 penalties. A photo of Mayweathear’s lucky betting ticket was posted on Instagram.
“I bet $220,000.00 on the World Champion Seattle Seahawks (Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman) and walked away with $420,000.00,” the boxer wrote.
CBS Sports: Floyd Mayweather wins $200K betting Seahawks on Monday night
Mayweather came dangerously close to losing this wager. If it hadn’t been for Russell Wilson’s ridiculous play, the boxer’s bet would have most likely ended up in a push, where he wouldn’t have won (nor lost) anything.
A late move pushed the score to 27-17 instead of 24-17, which wouldn’t have turned out so great for Mayweather. And the Seahawks got a late field goal after Wilson passed to Marshawn Lynch. This was the pass that helped the boxer win the wager.
A notorious punter well-known for betting huge amounts of money – and scoring even larger prizes – had also posted a betting slip proving that he won $685,714 by putting money on the Colts in Week 3. That wager happened three weeks ago, when the Colts played against the Jaguars.
Washington Post: Redskins-Seahawks best and worst
The Washington Post has compiled a “best and worst moments” article from the game on Monday night, where the Redskins lost 27-17 to the Seahawks at FedEx Field.
Among the best moments of the game, the newspaper highlighted the game-clincher in the fourth quarter, when Russell Wilson was pursued by three defenders and Washington’s running backs carried 15 times for 28 yards. Ryan Kerrigan is mentioned as best defender, and Kirk Cousins’ 60-yard pass to DeSean Jackson is said to be the best long pass play.
The worst record in prime time goes to the Redskins. Since Joe Gibbs retired the second time, the Redskins are 3-17 in prime-time games, the newspaper argues. It also mentions the team’s four losses as “worst stats”. That’s how many losses the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants have, combined.
There’s a “worst challenge success rate” award too, which goes out to Jay Gruden who is now 0 for 5 in challenges as an NFL head coach.
Daily News: Floyd Mayweather, Jr. earns $1.8 million betting on Colts, Seahawks
In other recent gambling news, Floyd Mayweather added another $1.8 million to his fortune, which is estimated at $280 million. The boxing champion placed a wager on the Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks to win by more than seven points and won.
“I bet $720,000.00 and I walked away with $1,405,714.28. When you’re betting on Andrew, it’s never Luck,” he wrote on Instagram, where he attached a photo of a ticket stub dated 9-21-14. That was the day when the Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars by 44-17.
Mayweather was recently mentioned among the top-earning athletes, on a list put together by Forbes Magazine. He made $105 million in his last two fights alone. The boxer never misses a chance to flaunt his wealthy lifestyle in public, and he usually does it through Instagram.
Those who follow him know that he frequently posts pictures of cash, although his favorite “prizes” often include expensive watches, cars or even women.
Independent: Super Bowl 2014: Floyd Mayweather denies placing $10.4m bet on the Denver Broncos after Seattle Seahawks crushing win
Back in February, it was rumored that Floyd Mayweather Jr had lost $10.4 million by betting on the Denver Broncos in an NFL match where the team was crushed by the Seattle Seahawks. The boxer later denied these rumors, claiming that ne never even put money on the Super Bowl match.
“For the record, I did not bet $10 million on the Broncos. As a matter of fact, I didn’t bet all,” he wrote on Instagram. “I can’t control what rumors that are put out there. Good or bad publicity keeps me relevant. The only thing I would bet $10 million on is myself. From the looks of my record, I’m a guaranteed win.”
During the previous week, pictures had emerged on social media websites showing that the athlete had placed a staggering amount of money on the Broncos. It was said that he had bet on the Peyton Manning-led team to win the season showcase.
It was then revealed that the picture had been originally posted in 2012. This information only supported Mayweather’s claims that no bet was ever made.
