$2.3M bet placed on Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover in Super Bowl LV

A Vegas sports bettor has placed a huge wager on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover in Super Bowl LV.

There are all kinds of awesome things surrounding Super Bowl odds and betting, from funky Super Bowl prop bets to a moving line to huge Super Bowl bets. While we’ll have plenty on Super Bowl LV prop bets and odds in the coming week, lets take a look at one of those large Super Bowl Bets.

And when we say large, we mean a humongous bet…

According to BetMGM Sportsbook, a Nevada sports bettor placed a $2.3 million bet on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at +3.5.

Yes, two-point-three-million dollars! That’s a lot of faith in the Super Bowl underdog Tom Brady and the Bucs.

New to sports betting? If the Buccaneers outright beat the Kansas City Chiefs OR lose by three points or less, that $2.3 million wager will return a $2 million profit. You know, what most of us find under our couch cushions during spring cleaning.

Can you even imagine cashing a betting slip for $4.3 million?

BetMGM was happy to see the bet come in of course, especially since they’ve already received several six-figure bets on the Chiefs, according to Jason Scott, VP of Trading for BetMGM Sportsbook.

During the regular season, the Buccaneers were 9-7-0 against the spread (ATS) overall. They were 5-3 ATS at home. During the NFL Playoffs, the Bucs are 2-1 ATS, putting their full-season mark at 11-8.

The Buccaneers were 10-point favorites in the Wild Card Weekend vs. the Washington Football Team, but weren’t able to cover, winning 31-23. The Bucs were underdogs against the New Orleans Saints, where they won 30-20. They were also underdogs last weekend against the Green Bay Packers, a 31-26 Tampa Bay victory.

Other sizeable Super Bowl LV wagers at BetMGM include:

  • $180,000 to win $100,000 on the Chiefs (-180)
  • $115,000 to win $100,000 on the Chiefs at -3.5 (-115)
  • $110,000 to win $100,000 on the Chiefs at -3.5 (-110)

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going start a GoFundMe page to see if we can top that $2.3 million wager.

Super Bowl LV: Kansas City Chiefs favored over Tampa Bay Buccaneers to repeat as champs

The Kansas City Chiefs are the betting favorites in Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Super Bowl LV is set. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (14-5) will face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (16-2). Tampa Bay will be the first Super Bowl team to play in its home stadium. Kickoff is set for Sunday, Feb. 7, at 6:30 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. Below, we take a look at the early Chiefs-Buccaneers betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Bucs took the tough route to the big game, making the playoffs as a Wild Card team and winning three consecutive road games. They knocked off the No. 1 seed Green Bay Packers 31-26 in the NFC Championship Game. QB Tom Brady will make his 10th Super Bowl appearance and seeks his seventh title – the 43-year-old threw three touchdown passes in the Packers win. However, he also threw three second-half interceptions, but the Tampa Bay defense only allowed six points off those turnovers.

The Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl for a second year in a row. They defeated the visiting Buffalo Bills in the AFC title game 38-24. QB Patrick Mahomes passed for 325 yards and three TDs, WR Tyreek Hill had nine catches for 172 yards and TE Travis Kelce finished with 13 receptions for 118 yards and 2 scores. The Chiefs held the Bills to 5 of 14 on third downs to repeat as AFC champs.
