Huge wager on Da Bears: 1 gambler could win $3.3 million if Chicago Bears triumph in the Super Bowl

One bettor stands to collect a $3.3 million payout if the Chicago Bears capture the Super Bowl, following a bold $50,000 wager placed earlier this season at 66-1 odds.

The 9-3 Bears have been the NFL's breakout team this year, bouncing back from an 0-2 start to win nine of their last ten games. Their impressive run has propelled them to the top of the NFC North and secured the No. 1 seed in the conference, far exceeding preseason expectations of 8.5 wins.

After a 24-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, the timing of this bettors stake looks particularly shrewd. Placed at BetMGM, the $50,000 wager on the Bears to win Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara represents the largest reported Super Bowl futures bet by total potential payout at any legal U.S. sportsbook.

Despite the team's success, oddsmakers remain cautious. The Bears are currently listed at 30-1 to win the Super Bowl, ranking seventh in their conference, while the Green Bay Packers (8-3-1) are favored at -140 to claim the division.

Meanwhile, quarterback Caleb Williams has shown marked improvement in his second season under new head coach Ben Johnson but remains a long shot for MVP at 60-1 odds.

The Los Angeles Rams (+450) are currently the clear favorites to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM. Chicago faces the fifth-toughest remaining schedule, making their finish crucial for both division success and hosting a playoff game. In contrast, the Packers face the second-most challenging schedule in the league.

The Bears have been favorable to bettors, going 8-4 against the spread, tied for the second-best mark behind the Seattle Seahawks (9-3). Currently, Chicago has -325 odds to reach the postseason, a key milestone for this wager to begin paying off.

This high-stakes bet will be closely watched as the season unfolds.
