NFL Week 10 Big Bets Recap highlights a remarkable moment when a bettor turned $43 into nearly $98,000 on a two-leg touchdown parlay.
This incredible win showcases the unpredictable nature of sports betting, where long shots can sometimes pay off in extraordinary ways. The lucky FanDuel Sportsbook customer capitalized on NFL Week 10 odds to achieve this life-changing payout.
In this recap, we will explore other notable parlays, impressive wins, and significant wagers from NFL Week 10 and college football Week 11.
The Last Shall Be First
Not every player is favored, and one such underdog was Mac Jones, the backup quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. With starting QB Trevor Lawrence sidelined due to a shoulder injury, Jones stepped in against the Minnesota Vikings. At FanDuel, he had long odds of +7000 to score the game’s first touchdown.
In another matchup, Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had odds of +3100 to score the first touchdown in the Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints game.
In a surprising twist, Valdes-Scantling caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Derek Carr just four minutes into the game. Shortly after, Jones scored a one-yard touchdown, marking the game’s first score. The fortunate bettor walked away with an impressive $97,468.80 from their wager.
Parlay Partay
Another FanDuel customer took a different approach, betting on three players to score touchdowns in the first half of their respective games. This bettor linked Denver Broncos wideout Courtland Sutton, Tennessee Titans wideout Calvin Ridley, and Arizona Cardinals wideout Marvin Harrison Jr.
Sutton found the end zone against Kansas City in the second quarter, while Ridley and Harrison scored in the first and second quarters of their games, respectively. This $150 player-prop parlay had odds of +31260, resulting in a remarkable win of approximately $47,000.
In the Bengals-Ravens game, a popular four-leg anytime touchdown parlay involving Ravens players Derrick Henry and Mark Andrews, along with Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase and Chase Brown, attracted over 20,000 bettors at DraftKings. With odds of +1200, all four players scored, making it a profitable venture for many.
Here’s Hoping You Had It
Not all bets need to be massive to yield significant returns. A bettor who wagered on a Bills defensive touchdown as the first score in the Buffalo-Indianapolis game had a thrilling start. Cornerback Taron Johnson’s 23-yard interception return put Buffalo ahead 7-0 less than three minutes into the game, resulting in a $3,700 payout on a $100 bet at +3700 odds.
In a dramatic finish, a DraftKings bettor placed a $150 bet on the Chiefs to win at +1000 during the final seconds of the Broncos-Chiefs game. When the Chiefs blocked a potential game-winning field goal, that bettor secured a $1,500 profit.
I Like Big Bets And I Cannot Lie
