The New York Jets pulled off the biggest upset of the season on Sunday, knocking off the Los Angeles Rams as 17-point underdogs.
One bettor in New Jersey saw it coming -- way back in September.
Leading up to the NFL season, FanDuel offered odds on when teams would notch their first win of the year. In September, a bettor placed a $100 wager on the Jets to win their first game in Week 15 against the Rams at 120-1. The bet paid $12,100 after the Jets stunned the Rams 23-20.
From 1978 to 2017, underdogs of 17-plus-points won only three times, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information. With the Jets' upset on Sunday, an underdog of 17 or more points has now won in three consecutive seasons.
