Rob Nelson of ESPN Stats & Information revisits the worst bad beats from the weekends gambling action.?Closing lines are courtesy of Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, and pick percentages are via Wunderdog Sports.SaturdayMichigan Wolverines at Michigan State SpartansClosing line: Over/under 50Michigan closed as a 24.5-point favorite in this game, marking the third-largest spread in this rivalry dating back 40 seasons. Michigan State stayed within that number the entire game, and ended up covering easily. But those who took the under could have done without a pair of late scores by the Spartans.Michigan led 30-10 with less than eight minutes left as Michigan State faced a fourth-and-5 from its own 46-yard line. Reserve quarterback Brian Lewerke hooked up with R.J. Shelton for a 34-yard completion on fourth down, and then found Monty Madaris for a touchdown on the next play. That made the score 30-17, and it stayed that way until the final seconds. The Spartans got the ball back at their own 25-yard line with 27 seconds left and those on the under just needed one stop. Unfortunately for them, Michigan State marched right down the field and scored a touchdown with one second left to send the total over.In a play that might be shown at the Heisman Trophy ceremony in December, Jabrill Peppers returned a fumble back on the following two-point conversion. That will serve as an unfriendly reminder of this bad beat for those who took the under.Final score: Michigan 32, Michigan State 23 (game goes over)Kansas State Wildcats at Iowa State CyclonesClosing line: Kansas State -6Over 60 percent of the action was on Kansas State to cover the 6-point spread at Iowa State, who came into the game winless in conference play and 1-6 overall. It was looking good for those on the Wildcats, who led 31-10 entering the fourth quarter.But it turned out to be a fourth quarter to forget if you had Kansas State. The Wildcats were outscored 16-0 in the final 15 minutes, capped off by a Jacob Park-to-Deshaunte Jones touchdown on fourth down with less than a minute left to cover the spread for the Cyclones. This marked the most points Kansas State had been outscored in a fourth quarter since 2004.Final score: Kansas State 31, Iowa State 26 (Iowa State covers)Miami Hurricanes at Notre Dame Fighting IrishClosing line: O/U 58The 61 percent who took the over in this one are still wondering how Notre Dame didnt score a touchdown on its final drive.With the game tied at 27 late in the fourth quarter, those on the over needed a touchdown to cash their bets. It appeared they were going to get their touchdown when Notre Dames Durham Smythe was about to score, but instead fumbled at the goal line. The Fighting Irish recovered and had first-and-goal at the Miami 1-yard line after an offsides call on the Hurricanes. But they couldnt punch it in and had to settle for a Justin Yoon 23-yard field goal with 30 seconds left. Miami ran out of time on their final drive and the total ended up going under by one point.Final score: Notre Dame 30, Miami 27 (game goes under)Baylor Bears at Texas LonghornsClosing line: O/U 73You couldnt have asked for a better start if you took the over. Less than six minutes in, the score was 14-14 and it looked like those bets could win before halftime.The scoring cooled off, with no points until a Texas safety midway through the second quarter. Each team added a touchdown and the Longhorns led 23-21 at halftime, with the total still on pace to go over. But the second half slowed down significantly and after a Trent Domingue 39-yard field goal, Texas led 35-34 with 46 seconds left. It wasnt looking good for those on the over, who needed a touchdown to win their bet. It appeared they got their touchdown when Texas scooped and scored a Seth Russell fumble to make the score 41-34. But in a questionable decision, the refs ruled that Russells forward progress had stopped and the touchdown did not count. Two plays later, the game ended and over 73 was a losing bet.Final score: Texas 35, Baylor 34 (game goes under)SundayPhiladelphia Eagles at Dallas CowboysClosing line: Cowboys -5For a third straight week, the Sunday night game went to overtime and ended up as a bad beat for gamblers.The Eagles took a 23-13 lead early in the fourth quarter, as those who took the underdog were feeling great. After all, if you factor in the spread, the Eagles were up 15. After forcing a three-and-out, Philadelphia got the ball back but Wendell Smallwood fumbled on the first play of the Eagles drive to give it back to Dallas. It all went downhill for the Eagles after that. The Cowboys scored the next 10 points to send the game to overtime. Dallas won the toss and marched right down the field, capping off the drive with a Jason Witten 5-yard touchdown catch to win by six.Final score: Cowboys 29, Eagles 23 in OT (Cowboys cover) Cheap Larry Bowa Jersey .

RIO DE JANEIRO - World record holder Usain Bolt did not have nearly the fastest time in the preliminary rounds of the mens 200 but that was partly because he slowed down so much near the finish line while leading his heat that he could have been pushing a grocery cart. Plus, the heats were relatively early, starting around noon as opposed to the late night finals.I was a little tired, but it was a morning session and Im not a very good morning person, Bolt said. I just came out to qualify.Not surprisingly, he did so, winning his heat with a time of 20.28.That was well off his world record of 19.19 as well as the days top time of 20.09 by Canadas Andre De Grasse. It also was the 15th fastest time of the day.The heats are not about records, though. Especially for those who are fast enough that they can be confident they will advance without running at their absolute fastest race.Its not about time right now. Its about getting to the straight-away, holding your form and getting to the finish line, said Justin Gatlin, who advanced to the semifinal round with a time of 20.42. If you think about time, that will get into your head too much.The scheduling of the track events has been a little odd here. Thee turnaround between the 100 meter semifinals and the finals was not much more than hour, which both Bolt and Gatlin said caused them to have slower times than they had hoped.dddddddddddd The triple jump final was also held in the morningTuesday, starting at 10:50 a.m., which gold medalist Christian Taylor said he had never experienced before.It all required early morning starts for the Olympians.Its not just the run thats tiring, its the transportation getting to and from the athletes village to here because of the traffic, Gatlin said. You cant stay up too late but how could I not stay up to watch the womens 400 final last night? I had to make sure I watched that and then got right back upstairs to go to bed.Bolt, who won his third consecutive gold in the 100 Sunday, is the favorite in the 200, where he will try to win his third gold as well. The semifinals of the 200 are Wednesday and the finals are Thursday.American LaShawn Merritt, who medaled in the 400 Sunday, also qualified with a time of 20.15, the fourth best of the day, as did Ameer Webb with a time of 20.31.
