With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers not cooperating, the MGM sportsbook in Las Vegas was left hoping Mother Nature would be able to stop the Denver Broncos from delivering one of the books biggest losses on a choppy Sunday for the house.The favored Broncos led 27-7 with 6:52 remaining in the fourth quarter when inclement weather moved in, forcing the game to be suspended.Like most Las Vegas sportsbooks, house rules at the MGM stipulate that 55 minutes must be played for bets to be official. If Sundays game in Tampa had not been resumed, it would have been 1 minute, 52 seconds short of reaching 55 minutes, and all bets -- the majority of which were on the Broncos at the MGM, including a six-figure money-line wager -- would have been refunded.No such luck, lamented MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood, who took six times as many bets on the Broncos as the Buccaneers.Nearly 70 percent of the money bet on the game at William Hills Nevada sportsbook was on Denver. The sportsbook at the Stratosphere reported similar lopsided action on the Broncos.The game resumed after just over an hour delay, and Denver finished off an easy win as a 3.5-point favorite, much to the delight of a deep-pocketed MGM casino guest, who after losing big on New England in the early slate, cleaned up on the Broncos. Rood said the high-rollers bets ranged from five to six figures.He was all over the place [on Denver], money-line, first halves, parlays, Rood said. Hes hitting everything. Hes pretty much got his bankroll in play.The Broncos also took a bite out of the book at the South Point Casino, but director Chris Andrews, despite the loss, was happy the game resumed so he didnt have to deal with angry Denver bettors, who would have seen what looked like a sure winner turned into a refund. In all honestly, Im glad theyre finishing the game, just so I dont have to put up with it, Andrews said with a chuckle. Id rather lose the money and not have to put with all the [expletive].Overall on Sunday, Las Vegas sportsbooks reported getting off to a good start to the day, with upsets by underdogs Buffalo, Chicago and Atlanta producing big early wins. But the Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys covering the spread in the afternoon games sucked up most of the books early profit.Nick Bodganovich, director of trading for William Hill, characterized the day as a wash.Early games were great, late ones were not, added Stratosphere sportsbook manager Hugh Citron.College football extra pointsPer NCAA rule 8-3-2 a, if a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in the fourth period expires, the try shall not be attempted unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.Some college football bettors learned that rule the hard way on Saturday; the unluckiest of the bunch may have learned it twice. Tennessee, a 3.5-point favorite over Georgia, stunned the Bulldogs 34-31, with a 43-yard Hail Mary hookup between quarterback Joshua Dobbs?and Jauan Jennings on the last play of the game. With time expired, the Volunteers did not attempt the extra point, which, if successful, would have covered the spread.It turned what would have been the biggest loser of the day into a decent-sized winner, said Ed Salmons, assistant manager at the Westgate SuperBook.The scenario played out again in Pittsburgh, where the Panthers capped a win over Marshall with an interception return for a touchdown on the games final play. Pittsburgh, a 16.5-point favorite, did not attempt the extra point. Final score: Pittsburgh 43, Marshall 27.Ben Simmons injury impactThe Westgate SuperBook took the season win total on the Philadelphia 76ers off the board while awaiting clarification on the status of No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons, who suffered a broken right foot on Friday and is out indefinitely.

The Wildcats upset the Hawkeyes 38-31.--The South Point sportsbook offered odds on how many games the Patriots would win during Tom Bradys four-game suspension. New England won three of four without Brady, losing only to the Bills on Sunday. In the South Points proposition bet, three wins attracted the least amount of money from bettors.--Salmons, the Westgate football oddsmaker, said he likely wouldnt adjust his power ratings on the Denver Broncos with rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch potentially replacing injured starter Trevor Siemian.--The over/under on the Marshall-Pittsburgh game opened as high as 71 earlier in the week.

HOUSTON -- No. 13 Houston was coming off of its first loss and the Cougars were close to making it two in a row with Tulsa driving in a tie game late in the fourth quarter on Saturday night.It was then that Houstons defense responded with two huge plays to give the Cougars a 38-31 victory .The game was tied at 31-31 when Emeke Egbule returned a fumble 24 yards for a touchdown with 1:21 remaining. Garrett Davis knocked the ball out of the hands of quarterback Dane Evans. Egbule scooped it up and dashed into the end zone for the score.I just knew I had to do something with it to keep us in the game, Egbule said.Tulsa (4-2, 1-1 American) had a chance to tie it, but Jesse Brubaker was stopped just short of the goal line after a reception on the last play of the game to seal Houstons victory.
