Well no, it's because a couple of well known YouTubers with thousands of subscribers made the same prediction, causing very weird bets being placed and the oddsmakers/special interest groups taking action
We’ve been getting hit on the Colts since we posted our futures board in February,” South Point sports book director Chris Andrews said. “It has been happening all year. Our first big bet paid $50,000 for the Colts to win the AFC. I remember thinking, that’s curious.
“It was a steady attack. I know they keep showing up with money. It’s unbelievable.”
Luck had a bad Saturday, throwing two early interceptions, and the Colts were in a 33-7 hole midway through the third quarter. Indianapolis rallied to within one score before Matt McGloin’s pass to Amari Cooper picked up a first down with two minutes to go and sealed the win and cover for the Raiders, who were 3½-point home favorites.
At least one Las Vegas book faced a liability of more than $1 million if the Colts won the Super Bowl.
“They did bet the Colts for whatever reason,” Sunset Station book director Chuck Esposito said. “I’m not sure why.”
