Dallas Cowboys’ Super Bowl Bet Looms Large as Playoffs Begin

The Dallas Cowboys‘ playoff run in the NFL has become even more significant as a $100,000 bet on the team to win the Super Bowl looms large for bookmakers. The bet, placed on September 10th, offers a potential profit of $1.6 million for the bettor. Caesars Sports, who are responsible for the wager, now face a significant liability.

The Cowboys are currently the third-largest liability for Caesars in terms of Super Bowl bets. As the playoffs begin, the upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers on Super Wild Card Weekend is a crucial decision for both bettors and bookmakers alike. Many bettors continue to support the Cowboys, with a majority of point-spread tickets and money favoring Dallas.

The moneyline is heavily lopsided in favor of the Cowboys, with almost 6/1 ticket count and nearly 9/1 moneyline dollars backing Dallas. This strong support for the Cowboys extends to parlays and teasers as well. Zachary Lucas, the director of retail sports at TwinSpires Sportsbook, describes their position as up to their necks in liability due to the landslide of money being placed on the ‘America’s Team’.

The Packers, now in the Jordan Love era, face a tough challenge against a dominant Cowboys team at home. Dallas went undefeated at AT&T Stadium during the regular season and is favored as a 7.5-point favorite for this game. Although the Packers have historically been an enticing underdog for the public, it remains to be seen if the same sentiment will continue with Jordan Love as the starting quarterback.

Despite the uncertainty around the quarterback situation, both bettors and oddsmakers expect a high-scoring game. The total for the game is set at 50.5, which is the second-highest total of the weekend. The Over is receiving the majority of both ticket count and money, indicating a strong belief in a high-scoring affair.

As for the Super Bowl, the Cowboys are currently listed as the fourth choice among the remaining 14 teams. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers are the favorites, followed by the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers. Although the odds for the Cowboys have shifted, the $100,000 Super Bowl bet still presents a significant liability for Caesars Sports.
