Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley placed several multi-leg parlay bets, including three-, five- and eight-game parlays, and he did bet on the Falcons to win, a source told to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
All the bets were placed from Nov. 23-28 via a mobile app in Florida. Ridley was using the only legal gambling app in Florida and was caught when the NFL was notified by a compliance company the league uses for such an occasion like this.
The Falcons defeated the Jaguars 21–14 on Nov. 28.
