Super Bowl 60 odds: One bettor will win $2.5 million if Las Vegas Raiders win Super Bowl LX

Yahoo4 hours ago
The Las Vegas Raiders haven't won a playoff game since 2003, but one bettor is hoping for a playoff berth — and much, much more — this season from the Silver and Black.
A bettor at DraftKings placed a $25,000 wager on the Raiders to win Super Bowl LX at 100-1 odds on April 9. The wager would win $2.5 million if Las Vegas wins the franchise's first Super Bowl since 1984.

The Raiders underwent several big changes this offseason, including hiring Pete Carroll as head coach to replace Antonio Pierce, trading for QB Geno Smith and drafting Ashton Jeanty No. 6 overall to be their starting running back.
Even with those acquisitions, the Raiders still reside in a difficult AFC West that has been won by the Kansas City Chiefs in an astonishing nine straight seasons. Las Vegas has a win total of 7.5 at BetMGM, the worst odds to win the AFC West (12-1) and the fourth-worst playoff odds of any AFC team at +310.
In other words, the Raiders have a tall task to make the postseason, let alone make it to — and win — Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara in February. Las Vegas currently has 125-1 odds to win the Super Bowl at BetMGM.
The Raiders open the season as three-point road underdogs at the New England Patriots in Week 1 on Sunday, Sept. 7.

Real Madrid's Club World Cup semi-final preparation disrupted by flight delay

Real Madrid failed to attend their pre-match media activities ahead of Wednesday's Club World Cup semi-final against Paris St. Germain following a flight delay caused by storms in the Miami and New York areas. Coach Xabi Alonso's press conference and the mixed zone interview session with players Thibaut Courtois, Federico Valverde and Jacobo Ramón were initially scheduled for 7:30 and 7:45 pm ET respectively, at MetLife Stadium. Advertisement However, Madrid's scheduled 4 pm flight from the team's Miami base was delayed an hour by adverse weather conditions. FIFA initially delayed Alonso's press conference to 8:15 pm and made plans to scrap the mixed zone. The Athletic learned from a Madrid source at 7:28 pm that the team was still in mid-air and then, six minutes later, FIFA announced the cancellation of all Madrid press activities for the day. Madrid touched down safely at 8:52 pm. 'He's not coming?! Really?!' PSG coach Luis Enrique said, when informed by The Athletic that Alonso wouldn't do his press conference. 'It doesn't change anything to me, I didn't know about the flight, I hope they can arrive normally.' Madrid had initially planned to stay in New York ahead of the semifinal after defeating Borussia Dortmund in last weekend's quarterfinal. However, the club changed plans during the tournament. After investing heavily in their base in Palm Beach, Fla., the decision was made to return there while preparing for the final stages of the competition. The required attendance of media activities is covered under the Club World Cup's list of regulations, with section 4.3 (e) stating the clubs are responsible for 'attending all media conferences and other media activities organised by FIFA in accordance with the FIFA Media and Marketing Regulations, as well as with any other FIFA circular letters, guidelines, directives and/or decisions.' Section 4.5 adds: 'All participating clubs undertake to ensure that their players and officials attend and participate in all official activities and events including, without limitation, any Team Arrival Meeting, Match Coordination Meeting, press conference and other media and marketing activities in accordance with the FIFA Media and Marketing Regulations.' FIFA had not responded to a request for comment from The Athletic by the time of publication, but a Real Madrid spokesperson said the club was not anticipating any fine or discipline for missing out on its obligation.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton's honest assessment of first game back from injury

The post Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton's honest assessment of first game back from injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Despite losing their fourth game in a row, this time 1-0 to the visiting Los Angeles Angels, the New York Yankees' focus is already on Tuesday's tilt. Veteran designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton made his season debut after rehabbing injuries in both elbows. Stanton went 2 for 4 with a strikeout in the loss. He discussed the performance candidly with the media postgame, including with SNY's Yankees Videos account on X, formerly Twitter. ''It's good to be out there. Thought I saw the ball pretty well, besides one at-bat. So just working on that, making sure my timing's geared up. Get rolling' – Giancarlo Stanton on his 2025 season debut,' posted the account. Advertisement It was a solid debut for Stanton, and a performance the Yankees will definitely need more of moving forward. At the moment, the team's four-game slide is the worst of the season. The Angels are in town for three more games before back-to-back series against the Baltimore Orioles at home and Cincinnati Reds on the road. New York has played seven games in seven days, and they have nine more games over the next nine days. Can the Bronx Bombers correct course during this pivotal yet long stretch? Can Giancarlo Stanton help Yankees out of current skid? Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images Stanton is likely replacing Ben Rice in the lineup the majority of the time. The second year first baseman did an admirable job filling in for Stanton, as he solidified his spot on the roster for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, getting Stanton back deepens the Bombers' lineup for hopefully the foreseeable future. During this stretch, having that depth will be key. Advertisement With veteran Paul Goldschmidt also having a resurgent season in pinstripes, at bats might be a bit scarce at times. Team captain Aaron Judge and the other outfielders usually slot in at DH on their days off if there's a matchup that manager Aaron Boone prefers. Monday's performance is hopefully just the start of another powerful season in the Bronx for Stanton. If that is the case, then don't be surprised to see the Yankees in the thick of yet another postseason race later this season.
