A quartet of Super Bowl gamblers are banking on the Philadelphia Eagles to upset the odds. Bettors have placed four million-dollar bets on the Eagles to defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, according to ESPN’s David Purdum. Most sportsbooks in Las Vegas have installed the Eagles as six-point underdogs but many lines have shank to 4.5-point since then.

The bookmaker also took a $ 1.6 bet on Philadelphia earlier in the week. MGM in Las Vegas took multimillion-dollar... NESN.com

UCF Relentlessly Trolls College Football Playoff Committee After Peach Bowl Win
The University of Central Florida Knights finished off a perfect season Monday when they defeated the No. 9 Auburn Tigers in the Chik-Fil-A Peach Bowl 34-27. UCF, who went 0-12 two seasons ago, finished the year as the only undefeated team in college football after beating an Auburn team that was the only program to beat both No. 4 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia, the two team’s that will play in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Jan. 8. College football is the only sport in which an undefeated team like UCF doesn’t get the chance to play for all the marbles, so the Knights elected to troll the College Football Playoff Committee who ranked UCF 12th ent...

Georgia Players Talk Trash To Baker Mayfield Before 2018 Rose Bowl
Baker Mayfield already is getting under Georgia’s skin. Hours before kickoff for the 2018 Rose Bowl, the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner was out on the field in Pasadena, Calif., running routes and catching passes, as he does before every game, in both the Oklahoma and Georgia end zones. Mayfield has been battling a cold that caused him to miss the No. 2 Sooners’ media availability this week, but he seemed fine during his pregame routine. But once the star signal-caller took the pass-catching show to Georgia’s end zone, the Bulldogs’ wide receivers had an issue with Mayfield being in their panited area. The first game of the 2018 College... NESN.com
49ers’ Carlos Hyde Convinced San Francisco Will Win Super Bowl Next Season
San Francisco 49ers running back Carlos Hyde will be a free agent after this season, but he doesn’t want to go anywhere. That’s because the Niners — who are 5-10 heading into the final week of the regular season — are going to win the Super Bowl next season. At least that’s what he thinks. Following San Francisco’s 44-33 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, its fourth win in a row, Hyde was understandably feeling pretty good. So he decided to let the media know that not only are they playing well, but also that they will hoist the Lombardi Trophy come February 2019. While it’s certainly a bold take, it’s not totally
