An NFL bettor lost $737K on a soul-crushing 16-leg parlay thanks to the Lions

If you’re the person who had completed 15 of the 16 legs of an incredible NFL money-line parlay, I’m so sorry about what happened on Monday Night Football.

Said bettor had nailed the first 15 teams — he or she bet on the moneylines of Washington, the Bears, Browns, Rams, Bills, Patriots, 49ers, Raiders, Panthers, Broncos, Cardinals, Bucs, Cowboys, Titans and Ravens.

The 16th team, to turn $25 into $736,959? The Detroit Lions.

By now you know that the Green Bay Packers defeated the Lions on Monday night, so my hope is that this person hedged a ton by putting some serious cash on the Pack winning this one.

If not? That’s truly brutal.
