2006 Steelers vs Chargers The Steelers were 5 point favorites over the Chargers in Pittsburgh. The majority of bets were placed on the Steelers covering. Even though the Steelers had nearly twice as many yards as the Chargers (410 - 218), and had 0 turnovers compared to the Chargers 2...the game was close because the Steelers were penalized 13 times for 115 yards (2 TD's were called back), compared to the Chargers 2 penalties for 10 yards (1 of them shouldn't have been called..we'll get to that) The Steelers hit a FG to take the lead 11-10 with barely any time left. At the moment Vegas is looking good because the Steelers didn't cover. Then this happens: http://www.sbrforum.com/video/fixed-nfl-game-chargers-steelers-ending-11-16-08-v-3732/ It takes the refs literally like 20 minutes to review the final play (even though it has zero effect on the game). They finally decide to call an illegal forward pass (which it wasn't), game over 11-10. But the thing is if you're gonna call that, then Pittsburgh has the right to decline it, thus counting the TD and them covering the spread. The refs admitted immediately after the game that they botched the call and should have awarded the TD, but too late to do anything about it I guess. Oh yeah, it was roughly a 64 million dollar swing for Vegas.
