A Nevada bettor placed a $2.3 million bet on the (+3.5) to cover the spread against the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
Darren Rovell of the Action Network reported Friday the wager was placed on the BetMGM mobile app and will make $2 million profit if Tom Brady and Co. come through Feb. 7. It far exceeds the largest reported wager placed on last year's Super Bowl, a winning $750,000 bet on the Chiefs.
The Bucs didn't look like a top-tier title contender for much of the season, with the offense in transition following the offseason acquisition of Brady following his two-decade, six-championship tenure with the New England Patriots.
