Rob Nelson of ESPN Stats & Information revisits the worst bad beats from the weekends gambling action. Marc-Edouard Vlasic Sharks Jersey .Closing lines are courtesy of Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, and pick percentages are via Wunderdog Sports.Saturday?Kentucky Wildcats at Tennessee VolunteersClosing line: Tennessee -14This game featured 1,234 yards and 85 points, including 34 points in a fourth quarter that saw one of the worst bad beats of the season.With 7:12 left in the game, Alvin Kamaras second touchdown of the day gave Tennessee a 49-22 lead. At that point, the 48 percent of bettors who took the home favorites had a 13-point cushion. That score stood until Kentuckys Sihiem King scored a touchdown with less than four minutes left to cut Tennessees lead down to 20. The Wildcats would then recover the ensuing onside kick and eight plays later, Stephen Johnson scored Kentuckys second touchdown in a 2:17 span. Austin MacGinnis extra point made the score, 49-36 Tennessee, and those who took the Vols lost by one point.Final score: Tennessee 49, Kentucky 36 (Kentucky covers)??SaturdayArmy Black Knights at Notre Dame Fighting IrishClosing line: Over/under 54.5Nearly 75 percent of the bets were on the over in this game, and those folks had this one tabbed as a win at halftime. Notre Dame led 38-6 after the first half, and bettors needed just 11 points after halftime to cash their tickets.In the second half, there was an unfortunate theme of long drives resulting in no points. Of the six combined drives by the teams after halftime, five reached the opponents red zone -- but only six points were scored. What went wrong? A missed Army field goal, interceptions thrown by both teams and Notre Dame eventually running out the clock ended up causing misery for those on the over.?Final score: Notre Dame 44, Army 6 (Game goes under)??SaturdayTexas San Antonio Roadrunners at Louisiana Tech BulldogsClosing line: Louisiana Tech -22.5If you had action on this game, this is a fourth quarter you wont be forgetting any time soon. The 44 percent who took UTSA, however, are hoping to erase this out of their memories.The Roadrunners entered the fourth trailing 42-14, but they got back into it by scoring 21 of the next 28 points. After cutting the Louisiana Tech lead down to 14, UTSA attempted an onside kick. But it couldnt have gone worse, as Louisiana Techs Jarred Craft returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. Things kept going wrong for the Roadrunners, as they turned it over on their next drive. An excruciating stretch to end the game for UTSA backers was capped off with a Jmar Smith one-yard touchdown with five seconds left. The 42-point fourth quarter ended up with two Louisiana Tech touchdowns in the final 3:23.Final score: Louisiana Tech 63, UTSA 35 (Louisiana Tech covers)??Sunday?Chicago Bears at Tampa Bay BuccaneersClosing first-half line: Over/under 22.5In a first half that featured three turnovers by Jay Cutler, those who bet the first half under 22.5 were given a full experience of the ups and downs by Chicagos quarterback. Of those three turnovers, two put an end to potential scoring drives by the Bears, with the other one being a pick-six by Tampa Bays Chris Conte (former teammate of Cutler).After all that, the Buccaneers led 7-3 with less than four minutes left in the half. You had to be feeling good if you had the under. But 10 quick points by Tampa Bay made the score 17-3 with 31 seconds left. That was just enough time for Jay Cutler to do something good or bad. On the final play of the half, Cutler bought time and heaved a pass to the end zone, where Cameron Meredith caught it off a deflection for a 50-yard touchdown.?Halftime score: Buccaneers 17, Bears 10 (Total goes over) Brent Burns Sharks Jersey .

No problem for Georgia Tech.With Justin Thomas on the sideline with an injury, backup quarterback Matthew Jordan rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 30-20 upset of No. 14 Virginia Tech on Saturday.Thomas dressed for the game, but didnt play after an undisclosed injury last week at North Carolina. The Yellow Jackets (6-4, 3-4 ACC) didnt miss a beat, and Jordan, who made his first career start, repeatedly gashed the Hokies defense. He carried the ball 32 times and scored on runs of 53 and 3 yards.I really didnt know until warm-ups to be honest, Jordan said. I think I was a little bit nervous when we first started off. Once the game went along, I think I settled down.Marcus Marshall added 143 yards rushing and a score for the Yellow Jackets, who rushed for 309 yards. They also became bowl eligible.I told our kids after that game that 6-6 is not what were after, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. Once we were out of the conference race, I challenged our team to try and win nine games. If you go back and look at the last 50 years here, it hasnt been done a lot.Georgia Techs win was just the third road win over a ranked team in Johnsons tenure as coach. He took over in 2008.Virginia Tech (7-3, 5-2, No. 18 AP), which was looking to clinch the ACCs Coastal Division crown, played its worst game of the season. The Hokies turned the ball over four times, botched a short field-goal attempt, and had a terrible snap rigght before halftime that ultimately led to Jordans 3-yard touchdown run. Justin Braun Sharks Jersey. That score gave them a 20-0 halftime lead.The Hokies Jerod Evans threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores -- the latter two coming with the game already decided.In the end, we didnt play well enough, Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said. We didnt deserve to win the ball game. Credit to them.THE TAKEAWAYGeorgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets defense gave up 636 yards of offense in a 48-20 loss at North Carolina a week ago, but the group held Virginia Tech to 437 yards and sacked Evans five times.I think our defensive players were probably tired of hearing how bad they were, Johnson said.Virginia Tech: The Hokies -- who hadnt turned the ball over in their previous three games -- need to find their groove on offense. They only mustered a field goal in the second half against Duke a week ago, didnt score in the first half against Georgia Tech, and had 182 of their yards on their final two drives when trailing 30-7.POLL IMPLICATIONSVoters could drop Virginia Tech down or out of the AP Top 25 when the new list comes out Sunday.UP NEXTGeorgia Tech: Returns home for the final home game of the season and takes on Virginia, the last-place team in the ACCs Coastal Division.Virginia Tech: Travels to South Bend, Indiana, to take on Notre Dame in the first meeting between the two programs.
