Some people have a very good feeling that Brock Purdy is going to have the best game of his life.
Less than two years after being the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Purdy, who was considered Mr. Irrelevant, led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl.
Purdy entered his rookie season as the third quarterback behind Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, but both suffered season-ending injuries and had to take over midway through the season.

All he did was lead the Niners to the NFC Championship — but he suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow, and shortly after that, fourth-stringer Josh Johnson was injured, so the Niners officially lost their starting quarterback. There was a shortage of human resources.
However, Purdy’s success was enough for the Niners to part ways with both Garoppolo and Lance and give him the starting job. This appears to have been a good move since he is playing in the Super Bowl.
Purdy was in the MVP race late in the season, but ultimately fell out. But as a quarterback, he automatically enters the Super Bowl MVP conversation.
Purdy is currently listed as +240 (bet $100, win $240) to win the game’s MVP award at Caesars Sportsbook, and one bettor is taking on a significant risk ($200,000 worth to be exact). I am.

Someone bet $200,000 on Purdy to win Super Bowl MVP. That way, the bettor would have won $480,000.
This isn’t the only six-figure bet you can make on the big ticket. In fact, someone made a more obscure bet earlier this week.
Caesars also bet $100,000 that the first coin toss would be tails. If the coin is in the bettor’s favor, a profit of over $95,000 will be paid out.
But X users may have made their boldest bet yet, risking just $25.
