Santos' 54-yard field goal late in the game illustrates how critical late-game scoring can impact betting outcomes, especially in high-stakes 'island games'.
Island games dominate the American sports landscape, bringing in significantly higher betting handles, as seen with the notable difference in wagers during prime time vs Sunday afternoons.
The betting implications on standalone primetime games are profound, influencing not just wagers but also the strategies sportsbooks employ to maximize profits.
In 2023, nearly triple the handle was seen for primetime NFL games compared to regular Sunday afternoon games, showcasing their popularity and impact.
