View Date:2024-12-23 19:40:52
A lucky NFL fan from New Jersey was on Santa’s nice list after he won a $489,383 payout after perfectly predicting a 14-pick parlay of players who scored a touchdown in Week 16 with a five-dollar bet.
The bettor accurately predicted that each of the following players would score a Week 16 touchdown:
- Steelers running back Najee Harris
- Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis
- Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs
- Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf
- Browns running back Jerome Ford
- Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr.
- Colts running back Jonathan Taylor
- Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley
- Cardinals running back James Conner
- Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert
- Broncos running back Javonte Williams
- Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco
- Eagles running back D’Andre Swift
- 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey
The lucky gambler posted a video on social media of him nervously watching Christian McCaffrey score the last touchdown he needed to make this a Christmas that he would never forget.
Multiple media outlets identified the lucky bettor as Travis Dufner, a financial advisor from New Jersey, according to LinkedIn, but the Asbury Park Press has not independently verified his identity.

What is a parlay bet?
A parlay bet is a type of sports wager that combines at least two individual bets into one. In order to win the parlay bet, the bettor must correctly predict the outcome of every individual bet included in the parlay. However, if even one of the individual bets loses, the entire parlay bet is considered a loss.
