Bettor makes multimillion-dollar wager on Eagles in Las Vegas

The early betting action on Super Bowl LII had been evenly divided between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles at MGM's sportsbooks in Las Vegas.

It's not anymore.

On Wednesday, a bettor placed a "multimillion-dollar" bet on the underdog Eagles, according to MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood.

Rood declined to reveal the exact amount of the bet, but told ESPN that it was multimillions, making it one of the largest reported bets in recent years in Nevada.

"Obviously, we're pretty heavy Eagles now," Rood said.

Rood said he had dealt with the customer before, but refused to provide any further details.
