NFL games are always big business for US sportsbook operators, with the American Gaming Association (AGA) estimating that Americans will legally wager $30bn across the season. DraftKings has revealed that it’s had a bad start to the young season, pointing to the Week 1 Sunday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens as the company’s worst-ever single-game result in its history:
The game saw some massive swings, with the Bills going down 15 points late in the third quarter before rallying in the fourth to win, 41-40. Many DraftKings bettors did well on player prop bets and Bills pre-game and in-game moneyline wagers, especially when they were down big.

The note from the Citizens JMP Securities analyst says that the other NFL results for the first two weeks of action weren’t overly harmful to the operator.
