The Biggest Sports Betting Wins of the 2022 NFL Season

5. 2+ Touchdowns Returns $38,000

The 2022 NFL season definitely saw the emergence of the 2+ Touchdown betting market as a popular prop bet. Every week bettors were hitting big on players to double up in the end zone, and that is exactly what BostonConnr from the Pat McAfee Show did in Week 9 with this beauty of a ticket. It only cost him $25 to cash over $38,000 in winnings, needing four NFL stars to find the end zone two times each.

In the Raiders vs. Jaguars game, the media personality needed Davante Adams and Travis Etienne to score 2+ touchdowns each, and in the Chargers vs. Falcons game, he needed Austin Ekeler and Cordarrelle Patterson to do the same.

You know it's a great bet when you don't even have to sweat it late. all four legs had cashed and the two games were barely even into the 4th quarter.

At +155026 odds, this parlay was definitely one of the most impressive long shot wins of the season. 2+ Touchdown Parlays became one of the most popular ways to bet during the NFL season, as bettors everywhere dreamed of replicating this win.

4. Mike Gesicki 2+ Touchdowns for $50,000

3. Bettor Wins $72,000 on First Touchdown Scorers

No. 3 on our list takes us to the NFL Divisional Round. With just four games on the docket for Divisional Weekend, bettors were able hone in on the reduced slate with deadly precision, with one bettor in particular taking making the most of the dominance of tight ends during the weekend - who scored three of the first four touchdowns in the four games - correctly nailing Travis Kelce, Dallas Goedert, Dalton Schultz and Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to get into the end zone of their respective games first.

The winner, who posted their ticket made with FanDuel Sportsbook on Twitter under the username @CameronJayCrai1, spun a $5 free bet into $72,795 at odds of +1455900 when Schultz cruised in for 6 against the 49ers, instantly changing his life.

2. $112,000 Win On All 8 Division Winners

As far as NFL futures bets go, this is possibly the most obscene bet we've ever seen. At the beginning of the season, bettor - and Philadelphia Eagles fan - Charles Fornara, placed a $27 wager on all eight divisional winners. The parlay, which included the Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, Vikings, Bills, Jaguars and Bengals, came down right until the final Sunday of the regular season with Philly and Jacksonville wrapping things up to crown the sports fan with more than $112,000. 

1. Marco Piemonte Cashes In $2.8 Million Parlay

If you’re in the gambling game, you’ll know that sometimes you just need to have Lady Luck on your side. That was exactly the scenario facing Chicago super-bettor Marco Piemonte in Week 15 of this year’s NFL season when his monster five-leg parlay cashed for a cool payout of more than $2.8 million, thanks to not only the largest comeback in NFL history, but also the craziest ending to a game in recent memory.

The parlay, which was placed with DraftKings Sportsbook for an outlay of $31,000, included the Minnesota Vikings to beat the Colts, Browns to beat the Ravens, Dolphins +7 vs. the Bills, Jaguars +4 vs. the Cowboys, and finally, the Raiders to win against the Patriots.

The bet looked dead almost immediately after it began with the Vikings trailing 33-0 at halftime against the Colts. Sportsbooks were trading Minnesota at odds as high as +5000 on the moneyline to stage the biggest comeback in NFL history. And that's what they did, winning 39-36.

Moving onto the final leg during the Sunday slate, and needing the Raiders to win the game and the Patriots outright, once again things were not looking good for the bettor as the Pats took control of things down the stretch.

There was life, however, when Derek Carr found Keelan Cole with 32 seconds remaining to tie things up. 

Needing to avoid New England scoring on the final play of the game as time expired, what would follow was perhaps the craziest ending to an NFL game of all-time.

After a big thrust forward, running back Rhamondre Stevenson lateraled to Jakobi Meyers. Meyers threw the ball backwards, right into the arms of Raiders defender Chandler Jones who delivered the ball into the endzone, giving Las Vegas the win and Marco the most ridiculous of parlay wins, and our biggest win of the 2022 NFL season.
