Meanwhile, 41-year-old Philip Rivers - affectionately dubbed 'Old Man Rivers' by fans - reminded everyone why you should never write off a seasoned veteran. The grizzled quarterback rolled back the years with a stunning touchdown pass that had the crowd on their feet and proved that experience can trump athleticism when it counts. Rivers' performance has bookmakers reconsidering their season win totals for his squad.
The Green Bay Packers also copped a massive blow to their playoff hopes with a key injury to a star player, while Donald Trump's ceremonial coin toss became an unexpected viral moment that had social media buzzing. These developments have created some serious value opportunities for savvy punters willing to back against the public money that's sure to overreact to this weekend's drama.
