Big Super Bowl LX bet: 1 bettor will win $1 million if Daniel Jones, Colts win Super Bowl 60
The Indianapolis Colts will have a new starting QB this season in Daniel Jones - who beat out a fellow former first-round pick Anthony Richardson for the job - and one bettor clearly thinks Indianapolis has a better shot at winning its first Super Bowl since 2007 than oddsmakers do.
On Thursday, a Caesars Sportsbook bettor in Nevada wagered $8,000 on the Colts to win Super Bowl 60 at 125-1 odds, a wager that would win $1 million.

It's the fourth Super Bowl futures wager that carries a seven-figure liability at legal U.S. sportsbooks; surprisingly, two of the others are on the Las Vegas Raiders to win Super Bowl LX.
The others:
$25,000 on the Raiders at 100-1 odds to win $2.5 million
$10,000 on the Raiders at 100-1 odds to win $1 million
$50,000 on the Cincinnati Bengals at 20-1 odds at BetMGM to win $1 million
The Colts went 8-9 last season and missed the playoffs. They have a win total of 7.5 this season at BetMGM, are projected to be favored in only six games this season and are +195 underdogs to make the postseason. Indianapolis is the best-case scenario of any team to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM sportsbooks, with both the fewest Super Bowl bets (0.5%) and total dollars wagered (0.1%) among NFL teams.
The Colts open the season on Sunday, Sept. 7 as 1.5-point home favorites against the Miami Dolphins.
