  • The NFL has been sued over a missed call in the NFC Championship
  • The Saints’ chance to compete in the Super Bowl was destroyed
  • Is there any value to betting yes?

There’s bitter, and then there’s this.

After you’ve had a chuckle and realize this is a real thing, you may be asking yourself what could this group be suing for? Glad you asked.

I know what you’re wondering next, and yes, online oddsmakers already have you covered.

Odds Frank D’Amico Will Win Lawsuit vs the NFL

Will Frank D’Amico Jr. Win Lawsuit Over Missed Call in Rams/Saints Game? Odds (01/24/19)
Yes +2500
No -10000

Awful Officiating Ended Saints Super Bowl Dreams

While the news cycle moves faster and more furiously than ever before, it appears there are still some fans stuck on ill-will towards the referees and the NFL in New Orleans. The Saints were fleeced by an egregious pass interference non-call late in the fourth quarter of the NFC Championship against the Rams.

It’s so bad, it’s actually quite comical how this call is missed. There’s no angle that provides the officials with any relief. It’s fair to say there’s never been such a bad call that definitely swung the balance of a game with that much at stake.

With the penalty called, the Saints could have easily milked the clock down and left the Rams with around 20 seconds and no timeouts to get into field goal range. Instead, we all know how it ended. The Saints were forced to kick a field goal, the Rams tied, and then the boomingest clutch kick we’ve seen in a while sent Los Angeles to Atlanta.

Aside from the Saints and their fans getting hosed, the ripple effects spread out across the gambling sphere, with one of the most devastating L’s hung on Cousin Sal, one of America’s favorite betting junkies and host of FS1’s Lock it in Show.

His purchase of a New Orleans ticket to win the Super Bowl is now the stuff of legends.

Is there Any Value in Betting Yes?

You’re going to have to dig deep to find even a hope that you’ll see any return on a “yes” bet. And don’t be swayed by the NFL not yet making an official statement as one of the tenets of your reasoning.

The NFL is steering clear of this like the black plague, leaving the officials comments to Sean Payton post-game as official enough.

Missed calls in the NFL are going to happen (looking at you, Tuck Rule!), and while this will probably be the impetus to find a system that will prevent something like this happening again (somehow, this is not a drop-everything amendment), it’s sports. Bad calls happen every week in the NFL and in pro sports in general.

Betting  “no” is as close to a sure win as you are ever going to find.

By the way, if you’re wondering how the rest of the world felt about this announcement, let’s just say Twitter folks’ sentiment to these New Orleans fans and their attorney could be summed up in three words: Get. Over. It.
