Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is back to place a hefty bet on a team from Texas, this time in the NFL’s playoff divisional round.
Mack reportedly bet over $2 million total on the Cowboys at +170 and +165 odds to upset the 49ers in Sunday’s NFC tilt, according to Action Network’s Avery Yang. He stands to win a whopping $3.35 million if Dallas is able to pull out the victory and punch its ticket to the conference championship game.
The last time Mattress Mack pushed his chips in on a team from the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, his plan backfired. Earlier this month, the 71-year-old placed a total of about $3 million on the TCU moneyline and point-spread (+12.5) against Georgia in the College Football Playoff national championship game. Those bets crashed and burned as the Horned Frogs got walloped by the Bulldogs, falling 65–7 in the title contest.
