1 bettor needs a Week 18 Jaguars victory to win $290,000
One bettor at DraftKings Sportsbook needs the Jacksonville Jaguars to win in Week 18 to cash a $290,000 parlay.
The advantage of parlaying futures wagers together is that there is plenty of time to decide whether or not to hedge a bet, cash out, or let it ride.
For one bettor at DraftKings, the time has come to make that decision, as he is sitting on a $500 bet now worth over $290,000 … as long as the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 18 and win the AFC South.
The bettor wagered $500 on a seven-leg futures parlay, including the NBA, NFL, PGA Tour and NHL.
The legs were as follows:
- Brooks Koepka to win the 2023 PGA Championship at 10-1
- Denver Nuggets to win the NBA Finals at -115 odds
- Vegas Golden Knights to win the Stanley Cup at +175 odds
- Detroit Lions to win the NFC North at +130 odds
- Kansas City Chiefs to win the AFC at -165 odds
- San Francisco 49ers to win NFC West at -150 odds
- Jacksonville Jaguars to win AFC South at -150 odds

The Jaguars are currently 5-point road favorites at the Tennessee Titans in Week 18, but starting QB Trevor Lawrence is questionable. The Titans have been eliminated from the AFC playoff picture.
The bettor also has a cash out option of $156,633.72 from DraftKings.
What would you do? Hedge? Let it ride?
We’ll soon find out.
