One gambler is probably thanking Xavier Legette after today’s Eagles-Panthers game. On Sunday, it was revealed that a gambler had bet $3 million on the Eagles -700 moneyline to beat the Panthers.
One Kentucky bettor wagered $3.1 MILLION on the Philadelphia Eagles ML at -700 at @CircaSports.
One of the largest reported regular-season NFL bets EVER.
The Eagles survive … barely
Final score: Eagles 22, Panthers 16 ✅#FlyEaglesFly

The gambler had to sweat his bet as the Panthers kept the game close and had a chance to win the game on the final drive.
Thankfully for the gambler, Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette drops a wide-open touchdown pass that would have given the Panthers the lead in the game.
The dude that’s about to win his $3.1 million Eagles moneyline bet better send Xavier Legette some flowers:pic.twitter.com/eXjdOMaKIY

NFL fans had jokes about Legette’s dropped pass.
We sure Xavier Legette wasn’t the person who bet $3 million on the Eagles?
