The first three days of the NFL season saw plenty of big performances and some upsets. In one of the most exciting games of the week, the Detroit Lions beat the Los Angeles Rams 36-30 in overtime on Sunday Night Football. For Lions backers at the BetMGM online sportsbook, it was fortunate that Detroit won the overtime coin toss, leading to David Montgomery's touchdown on the opening possession for the victory.
