Bettor makes massive near-million dollar wager on USC to beat Utah in the Pac-12 title game

There’s believing, and then there’s BELIEVING.

If you’re confident in No. 6 USC’s ability to beat No. 14 Utah in the Pac-12 conference championship game on Friday, you’re probably not as confident as at least one other person.

That person is a Caesars Sportsbook bettor who put a wager of more than $900,000 on the USC moneyline at -130 odds, according to Caesars writer Max Meyer.

The exact amount is incredibly specific, but the potential earnings are nonetheless massive at more than $690,000. Even larger is the potential loss if Utah is somehow able to pull off the upset — a result that would all but put an end to USC’s College Football Playoff dreams.

The Trojans are just a three-point home favorite at BetMGM. But an upset doesn’t seem like a possibility in the eyes of this bettor.

According to Meyer, it’s the largest bet of the NFL or college football seasons at Caesars.

Even with a win, USC would still likely need help to climb into the top-four of the CFP rankings. But a win is a must to keep hope alive.
