Bettor Nets $443K After Betting $3.1M on Saquon, Eagles to Beat Bryce Young, Panthers

A Kentucky bettor won nearly $443,000 on Sunday from a $3.1 million wager after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Carolina Panthers 22-16, according to ESPN's Doug Greenberg and David Purdum.

Circa Sports accepted the wager on Thursday afternoon at -700 odds before adjusting it to -870 on Friday morning, according to Greenberg and Purdum.

Circa Sports owner Derek Stevens told ESPN that the bettor increased the wager from an initial $1 million, making it the largest bet the sportsbook has ever accepted.

The wager was believed to be one of the largest ever placed on a regular-season NFL game, turning Circa Sportsbook into big Bryce Young fans for the weekend.

"We currently have the best Panthers [money-line] price on the board and will be big Bryce Young fans on Sunday," Circa Sportsbook director Jeff Benson told ESPN, per Greenberg and Purdum.

Of the 12 games scheduled for Week 14, the Eagles and Panthers matchup was the most bet-on game of the weekend.

"Eagles-Panthers is our most-bet game of the weekend, and it's been largely one-way traffic with 70% of spread handle and 80% of money-line handle on Philly," ESPN BET's director of North American sports trading Adrian Horton said, per Greenberg and Purdum. "We opened the game at -12.5, and it's still moving in the Eagles' direction, now at -13 on Friday morning."

The Kentucky bettor was surely on the edge of their seat as the Panthers charged down the field with under 2:30 remaining in regulation.

The 3-10 Panthers nearly upset the 11-2 Eagles as the game came down to the wire. The Panthers' final attempt to convert on fourth down at the Eagles' 37-yard line was broken up by cornerback Darius Slay Jr. in a game-sealing defensive stop.
