North Carolina favored by 7.5 points over NC State
With less than 1:30 left, North Carolina kicks field goal to TIE GAME.
NC State is forced to punt with 30 seconds left:
North Carolina returns 73 yards for a touchdown.
But still, after the extra point, North Carolina would win by 7
(allowing NC State +7.5 to cover)
But amazingly, the extra point snap was bobbled,
and the holder scrambled then threw a desperation pass that was caught for a 2-point conversation! North Carolina wins by 8. Nearly impossibly, NC State +7.5 loses! Beats don’t get worse than that!!

The funny part is I saw the score in the 1st quarter and was ticked I had forgotten to make my bet on UNC.  Later, I saw an update and was thankful I had forgotten to make a wager on the game.  Until reading this, I didn't know the final score or how it came to be and now I'm ticked I forgot to place my bet on UNC and I knew they were a "LOCK" all along!

I watched the whole game. I believe it to be over but kept watching in hope & it was the only game on. I watched the TD thought good it was going to be a push then saw mishandle & cursed then yelled throw it 2 points great! Winner Winner chicken dinner...Yes i rolled with Marco on it & i haven't jumped in joy like that sense the Gaints Super Bowl catch that won it over Brady..

Thanks to this game I now have a college bad beat to go with my worst NFL bad beat of the season, which was the Packers in that infamous Monday night game against Seattle.

If the North Carolina State punter had just punted the ball out of bounds none of that BS would have occurred.

The return itself did not overly surprise me as I have seen that many times before. But, the bobbled snap and 2 point conversion was out of this world. I did have the -7.5 and had it written off. It was in a play that lost. Never over until it's over!

Not sure if anyone saw it but I had the Under 52.5 in the CFL game. In a game that the total looked safe, the Eskimoes scored a long TD with 3 secs left making it 27-25....with no time on the clock they were forced to go for the 2 point convert and they missed thus saving my Under.

Get 'em, Pregamers!

I was on the right side of this one, but not as big as I was on the Pack vs. Seattle
