FanDuel paid out over $13 million after a popular Cowboys-Seahawks same-game parlay hit
We were finally treated to an exciting Thursday Night Football game last night between the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks — and FanDuel Sportsbook paid dearly for it.
In only the fifth game in NFL history without a punt, the Cowboys held on for a 41-35 win over the Seahawks. The game flew OVER the total of 47.5 and the Seahawks covered as 9.5-point favorites, which was a great result for FanDuel. On Thursday morning, FanDuel reported that 85 percent of bets and a hopping 91 percent of the handle were on the Cowboys to cover as 8.5-point favorites.
But a game in which 76 points are scored usually features a lot of touchdowns, and FanDuel offered a featured four-leg same-game parlay for Cowboys-Seahawks that involved four individual players scoring touchdowns. The legs were:
- Tony Pollard Anytime TD
- CeeDee Lamb Anytime TD
- Brandin Cooks Anytime TD
- DK Metcalf Anytime TD
Metcalf scored on a 73-yard TD reception in the first quarter, and less than three minutes later, Lamb scored a 15-yard TD catch. Early in the second quarter, Cooks caught a 7-yard TD. And late in the third quarter, Pollard scored on a 6-yard TD run to cash the bet.

The odds for the bet were +3919 and over 20,000 people wagered on it, according to FanDuel, which led to a $13.4 million payout for bettors.
Certainly a big win for bettors, but we’re confident the books will be open for business again today.
