Caesars Sportsbook takes biggest bet of football season

Updated November 28, 2022 - 8:07 pm

Caesars Sportsbook took the biggest bet of football season, college or pro, at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.

An unidentified bettor wagered $901,350.65 to win $693,346.65 on Southern California on the money line (-130) over Utah in the Pac-12 conference championship game Friday at Allegiant Stadium.

The money line is the odds on a team to win the game, regardless of the point spread.

The Trojans are 3-point favorites over the Utes and have climbed to -150 on the money line.

A WynnBET gambler lost a $753,535 wager to win $239,214 on Ohio State on the money line Saturday when Michigan beat the Buckeyes, 45-23.
