Mattress Mack is Putting $1 Million on the Titans and That's Good News for the Chiefs
The Tennessee Titans are once again underdogs when they head to Arrowhead Stadium Sunday to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in their bid for the Super Bowl.
That means some money can be made by taking the Titans on the moneyline, a tactic being employed by Houston's "Mattress Mack." The renowned sports bettor has put a lofty $1 million on the Titans, which would payout $3 million should they pull off the upset.
Tomorrow, @MattressMack will be betting $1 million on the Titans to beat the Chiefs straight up. If they do so, he will net $3 million.

The early sign is that this is great news for the Chiefs. The fact the Chiefs are favorites and at home also helps, but let the "Mattress Mack" curse live on!
Mack notoriously threw down serious money on his hometown Astros in the World Series this season, suffering considerable losses when the Nationals pulled off the seven-game heist.
Mattress Mack told me he's found two books that will take his $1M total ML wager on the Titans (+300) over the Chiefs. Plans to place bets Sunday "because I gotta work today." Diehard Texans fan but "I have an affinity for the Titans because they used to be the (Houston) Oilers." https://t.co/GC0ium4xAk

Winning is obviously ideal, but the mattress man would not be placing this bet if he needed the money. This wager is for publicity and based on his betting history, the Chiefs are set up for victory.
Chiefs fans should rejoice, though Mattress Mack's bet slip won't be enough to lift them past Derrick Henry and the Titans.
