NextImg:Kentuckian bets $3.1 million on Eagles to beat Panthers Sunday

A Kentucky man is betting $3 million that the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles will beat the Carolina Panthers at home Sunday for an expected payout of $442,800.

The moneyline bet, with cash on the Eagles regardless of the margin, was placed at the Circa Sports sportsbook in Las Vegas on Thursday, according to ESPN. The Eagles are favored by 13.5 points.

The bet was the largest ever placed at the sportsbook, Circa owner Derek Stevens told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. In addition to its Sin City location, Circa Sports has an app available all over Nevada, plus Colorado, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky.



The Carolina-Philadelphia game is garnering a lot of wagers.

Eagles-Panthers is our most-bet game of the weekend, and it’s been largely one-way traffic with 70% of spread handle and 80% of moneyline handle on Philly,” said Adrian Horton, director of North American trading at theScore and ESPN Bet.

Moneyline favorites have won 136 times this NFL season, with 80 of those being home favorites and 56 road favorites compared with 60 straight-up wins for underdogs, according to Covers.com.

Against the spread, things are more even, with 99 games where the favorite covered, 91 where the underdog covered and six games where the spread was met exactly, resulting in a push and refunding the bettor’s wager, according to Covers.com.
