One lucky bettor will be walking away with quite a sum after betting the under on the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals facing off in the AFC championship.
Per VSiN’s Ben Fawkes, one MGM bettor put $1.2 million on the Chiefs and Bengals to hit the under 49 (-120), which was quite a risk with two of the most explosive NFL offenses set to trade barbs.
However, the game featured much more defense than expected and ended in Kansas City’s favor on a Harrison Butker field goal. The final score was 23-20, leaving the game three points behind the under, and leaving that MGM bettor with a big smile and full pockets.
One bettor at @BetMGM had a $1.2 MILLLION wager on Bengals-Chiefs UNDER 49 (-120).
He wins a cool $1 million.
Final score: Chiefs 23, Bengals 20

It takes gumption to put that much money on the total underperforming in such a potentially touchdown-happy football game, but this bettor knew better.
The Chiefs will now be celebrating yet another AFC championship with Patrick Mahomes under center, while this bettor will be hoisting up a very lucrative payout.
