You can actually bet on whether the Falcons and Patriots will have a 28-3 score again

Super Bowl LI may be in the past, but people (and sportsbooks) don’t forget

The New England Patriots technically won Super Bowl LI 34-28, but the only score anyone needs to remember is 28-3.

That’s the infamous lead the Atlanta Falcons held over Tom Brady & Co. with 8:31 left in the third quarter. You know the rest. New England scored the next 31 points, Julio Jones made the catch of the night, Julian Edelman made a better one and the Pats claimed their fifth championship in franchise history.

The two clubs will meet again on Thursday night in Atlanta and those who believe the ghosts of 28-3 are very much alive and well will have a perfect chance to profit off them.

Tipico Sportsbook is offering boosted odds on the score of Thursday’s game reaching 28-3 regardless of which team is leading. If at any point either the Falcons or Patriots go up 28-3, Tipico bettors will make some serious bank. The odds are listed at +15283 (bet $100 to win $15,283), up from +14000.

Considering the Patriots are merely averaging 27.5 points per game this season, the prop may seem like a reach, however New England recently won 45-7 over the Cleveland Browns and 54-13 over the New York Jets.

The Falcons, meanwhile, are coming off a 43-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys last week.

Another 28-3 lead isn’t an easy target, but the Football Gods have done more outlandish things. Besides, the bet doesn’t say anything about blowing a 25-point lead, though if 28-3 does happen, a live moneyline bet on the losing team might not be the worst idea.

Especially if its the Falcons jumping out ahead again.
