Jahan Dotson didn’t have great odds to score a touchdown in the 2025 Super Bowl, let alone good odds to score the first touchdown. So, anyone who bet on his long-shot odds had to be over the moon when the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver came down with a 28-yard catch from Jalen Hurts for what appeared to be the first points of the game.
That brief moment of joy was met with equal distress just a few seconds later when the touchdown was overturned and Dotson was ruled down at the one. Everyone knew what was coming next: a Jalen Hurts tush push.
While there may not have been many Dotson (+6600) bettors, there were at least a few, as captured in a clip posted on social media. And they were left distraught.
They all bet Jahan Dotson First TD…
Vibes instantly crashed when he was marked short 😅

Someone in that frame had a $20 bet to win $1,420, and it went from a winner to a loser just like that.
