On Saturday night, NFL fans witnessed a wild game in the Wild Card round in the playoffs between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars came back from a 27-0 deficit and won the game in the final seconds. The result of the game did little favors for a lot of bettors.

Certainly, this did not end well for the bettor as the Jaguars made a miraculous comeback. However, the fans on social media absolutely tore the bettor apart for betting this much money.

Meanwhile, one person called this person a fool for investing money unwisely.

Notably, the bettor is probably blaming the Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence, as his amazing second-half performance put his side through to the Divisional Round. He had four interceptions in the game; however, he made amends in the second half, scoring 4 overall touchdowns in the game. In the end, Riley Patterson scored a 36-yard field goal to seal the victory over the Chargers by 31-30.

The Jaguars will face the Chiefs in the Divisional Round

Certainly, the confidence level will be high for the Jaguars after the comeback win in the Wild Card Round. On the other hand, the Chiefs got a bye in the first round after clinching the overall no.1 seed in the AFC division.

The Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes had a fantastic season and is the front-runner for the MVP award at the moment. As per many experts, the Chiefs are the favorite to win against the Jaguars and the Super Bowl. It will be interesting to see if the Jaguars can cause a massive upset.
