One of the largest bets ever reported on an NFL regular-season game -- $3.1 million to win over $442,000 on the Philadelphia Eagles -- was in jeopardy until the last minute Sunday and had to survive a potential go-ahead touchdown pass that was dropped on the underdog Carolina Panthers' final drive.
An unidentified bettor in Kentucky placed the money-line bet on the Eagles at odds of -700 with sportsbook Circa Sports on Thursday. It was the largest bet the sportsbook had ever taken, according to Circa owner Derek Stevens, and wouldn't be decided until late in the fourth quarter.
