NFL bets: Bettor sweats out late interception to win $525,000 wager on Patriots

One BetMGM bettor was especially confident in the new-look New England Patriots, and it paid off handsomely on Sunday.

The Patriots pulled out a 21-11 Week 1 victory over the Miami Dolphins, covering the seven-point spread in the process. That 10-point win yielded a return of $477,272.70 for a bettor who placed a whopping $525,000 wager on Cam Newton and the Patriots to cover the spread.

It turned into a nail-biter, too. New England led most of the afternoon, but the Dolphins cut the deficit to 14-11 with 10:31 to play.
