NFL Super Bowl LIX Big Bets report: Bettor wagers $25k on Travis Kelce to win SB MVP

Updated Feb. 2, 2025 8:39 p.m. ET

With the NFL now down to just Super Bowl odds, it’s a good time to check in on any high-paying futures parlays or major wagers still live to either the Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia Eagles.

At the moment, there are a few notable bets to report.

That includes a significant six-figure play.

Read on for more on that ticket and other intriguing Super Bowl bets.

Fly Eagles Fly

On Jan. 19, just before the Eagles’ 28-22 divisional-round win over the Los Angeles Rams, a Caesars Sports customer decided to get down early on the Super Bowl.

The bettor wagered $200,000 on Eagles +275 to win the Big Game on Feb. 9 in New Orleans. If Jalen Hurts & Co. can beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, the bettor will collect $550,000 in profit, for a total payout of $750,000.

At Borgata Sportsbook, a BetMGM shop in Atlantic City, a customer put $50,000 on Eagles +700 to win the Super Bowl. That bet was made on Jan. 12, in the hours leading up to Philly’s 22-10 win vs. Green Bay on Wild Card Weekend.

An Eagles' Super Bowl title will give that bettor a $350,000 win (total payout $400,000). That same customer, on that same day, also made a $50,000 bet on Eagles +325 to win the NFC. So the bettor already collected $162,500 on that wager ($212,500 total payout).

And prior to the Week 18 games, a Caesars customer put $20,000 on Philadelphia +650 to win the Super Bowl. If the Eagles win it all, that bettor will net $130,000 (total payout $150,000).

Caesars also had a customer wager $25,000 on Eagles +700 in early January. That bet would net $175,000 in profit (total payout $200,000), if Philly finishes the job.

What's the recipe for Kansas City to contain the Eagles offense?

Hail To The Chiefs

Kansas City has seen a couple notable championship futures bets as well. Way back on Feb. 14, 2024 — shortly after K.C.’s 25-22 win over San Francisco in Super Bowl LVIII — a DraftKings Sportsbook customer put $22,000 on Chiefs +650 to win Super Bowl LIX.

It’s been a long wait since, but if K.C. pulls off the three-peat, that bettor will profit $143,000 (total payout $165,000).

More recently, on Jan. 26, a Caesars bettor put $50,000 on Chiefs +210 to win the Super Bowl. The customer profits $105,000 (total payout $155,000) if Kansas City beats Philly.

Point Spread, Moneyline and Total

Some sizable bets are starting to trickle in on the game itself. BetRivers saw two notable moneyline wagers:

$63,370 Chiefs -135. To win $46,940.74 (total payout $110,310.74)
$55,000 Chiefs -132. To win $41,666.67 (total payout $96,666.67)

There are also a couple Eagles moneyline plays: Rampart Casino in Las Vegas took a $50,000 bet on Philly +115, to win $57,500 (total payout $107,500); and Caesars took $50,000 on Philly +110, to win $55,000 (total payout $105,000).

And a couple of notable bets landed on the total: $110,000 Under 49.5 at Caesars, to win $100,000 (total payout $210,000); and $55,000 Under 50 at Station Sports in Las Vegas, to win $50,000 (total payout $105,000).

Parlay Partay

Of course, there are countless futures parlays that end with the Super Bowl winner. The beauty of these bets is that they’re often a little to win a lot. And they’ve often been percolating for months.

For instance: Even before March Madness last season, a DraftKings Sportsbook customer put this $100 four-leg parlay together:

UConn to win the NCAA men’s basketball tournament
Boston Celtics to win the NBA Finals
Ohio State to win the College Football Playoff
Chiefs to win the Super Bowl

The odds on that wager were +76130, or just over 761/1. That means this bettor is now on the precipice of winning a whopping $76,130 from a $100 investment.

A FanDuel Sportsbook customer put 25 bucks on the following four-leg parlay:

Spain +440 to win the European Championship soccer tournament
Argentina +175 to win the Copa América soccer tournament
Ohio State +420 to win the College Football Playoff
Chiefs +600 to win the Super Bowl

Add that all up, and you’ve got odds of +53954, or about 540/1.

If Kansas City wins its third straight Super Bowl, then the bettor turns that modest $25 into $13,513.

MVP Money

Multiple sportsbooks have had Super Bowl MVP odds up since early in the postseason. The largest reported play so far came at BetMGM: $25,000 on Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce +1500.

If Kelce lifts the MVP trophy, the bettor pockets a healthy $375,000.

The most interesting MVP wagers so far are long-shot plays on the two place-kickers. Caesars Sports took a modest $550 bet on Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker +100000 (1000/1), and a $550 wager on Eagles kicker Jake Elliott +100000 (1000/1), as well.

If either bet wins, the profit is a massive $550,000. Caesars also took a $100 wager on Butker +100000, to win $100,000.

At Hard Rock Bet in Florida, one customer made a play on each kicker, too:

$50 Elliott +50000 (500/1), to win $25,000
$50 Butker +25000 (250/1), to win $12,550.

Pardon the pun, but those plays could certainly kick-start the bank accounts of those bettors.
