Gamblers are not happy with the Green Bay Packers.
On Sunday, the Packers were a 13.5 point underdog against the Minnesota Vikings in the final game of the season after deciding to rest their starters before the playoffs.
“I think we did the right thing today.” LaFleur said Sunday. “And we’ll see. Time will tell. But I feel better about this certainly than I did a year ago after the game. It was a double whammy when we lose the game and you lose a key player for us to go into that run. I thought this was the best decision.”
While down 16-0, the Packers decided to call a timeout on the final play of their season to kick a meaningless field goal that covered the spread.
Angry gamblers who bet on the Vikings -13.5 points blasted the team over their decision.
