There’s a reason a long shot is a long shot. 

It means a winning result is typically not in the cards — and even more so when you pair two long shots together.

But occasionally, the dealer flips you the best possible cards. That was the case for a FanDuel Sportsbook customer who hit a two-leg long-shot parlay for nearly $100,000, on NFL Week 10 odds.

More on that and other notable parlays, unique wins and major wagers — winners and losers alike — as we recap NFL Week 10 and college football Week 11 betting.

The Last Shall Be First

One of the more popular prop bets each week in the NFL is on a player to score a game’s first touchdown. The usual suspects are favored — Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, Justin Jefferson and the like.

Meanwhile, in the Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints game, Saints wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling was +3100 to score the first touchdown.

A prescient FanDuel customer decided to pair Jones and Valdes-Scantling on a two-leg first-TD parlay. The bettor put down the odd sum of $42.90, at odds of +227100 or, in more digestible form, 2271/1.

And guess what happened? About four minutes into the Falcons-Saints game, Derek Carr found Valdes-Scantling on a 40-yard TD pass. And late in the first quarter of Vikings-Jags, Jones plunged in from a yard out for the game’s first touchdown.

So the bettor cashed out for a whopping $97,468.80.
