Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu, just like almost everyone, expected LSU to take care of Wisconsin with ease. So, understandably, Mathieu put his money where his mouth was, in a sense, and made a push-up bet with JJ Watt.
Wisconsin emerged victorious, 16-14, and Mathieu was forced to honor his bet by doing 100 push-ups. He did just that.
Now I had to split this up in sets @JJWatt I'm not strong like you pic.twitter.com/3ttwDbF9Ev

His caption that went along with the video was funny. We don’t doubt that Watt would’ve done all 100 in one set.
Watt later gave Mathieu props on Twitter for making good on the bet.
@Mathieu_Era much respect!! Man of his word. What a game.

I would’ve bet on LSU, too. Can’t blame Mathieu.
