Super Bowl line drops to 4 points despite $1M bet on Patriots

The fifth $1 million wager on Super Bowl LII and first on the favored Patriots was placed Sunday morning on the William Hill sports book’s mobile app. Despite the big bet on the favorite, William Hill dropped the Patriots from 4½-point favorites to 4-point favorites early Sunday afternoon. “We want to shorten the position a little as the game is getting closer and closer,” William Hill sports book director Nick Bogdanovich said. “But we probably won’t because plenty of people are betting the Eagles.” William Hill previously took two $1 million money-line wagers on Philadelphia and a $1.6 million bet on the Eagles plus 4½ points.
