$3.1 million money line bet on Eagles pays off, barely

Someone's plumbing in Kentucky might have clogged on Sunday, during the Panthers-Eagles game. All's well that ended well for the person who placed a $3.1 million bet on the Eagles to beat the Panthers.

The -700 money line bet paid off, but only after the Panthers gave Philly all they could handle. Including a late drive that at one point looked to result in what would have been, with the extra point, a go-ahead score.

But the Eagles escaped with a 22-16 win. And the bettor in Kentucky ended up making roughly $450,000.

He/she/they earned it — through three hours of sweating, cursing, and possibly a few other bodily functions.
