Dez Bryant Makes Millions Off Bet Involving Ravens vs. Chiefs

Former Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens receiver won $6.7 million off a bet off his seven-leg parlay that included Lamar Jackson and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Few things have become more of a sure thing in football than betting on Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. 

Former Ravens and Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant capitalized on that, as he played a bet on a seven-leg parlay that included Jackson scoring a touchdown and the Chiefs beating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round games. With those two things along with the other five parts of his parlay hitting, Bryant said he made $6.7 million

The entire seven-leg parlay was Jackson scoring a touchdown, the Chiefs beating the Bills, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce scoring a touchdown, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs scoring a touchdown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans scoring a touchdown, plus San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and tight end George Kittle scoring touchdowns. 

Bryant played for the Cowboys from 2010-2017 and the Ravens in 2020. 

After being tied with the Houston Texans 10-10 at halftime, Jackson and the Ravens cranked it up a notch in the second half, scoring 24 unanswered points en route to a 34-10 win on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium. Jackson completed 16 of 22 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns, and he ran the ball 11 times for 100 yards and two scores.
