The Super Bowl is less than a week away, and the internet is already full of predictions, rumors, and even conspiracy theories.
Social media is also flooded with people sharing their best bets and best picks for this game, hoping to help themselves and their followers win lots of money.
One particular bet has gone viral, as shared by the Action Network.
Allegedly, according to Caesars Sportsbook, someone put $2,000 on Chase Young to win Super Bowl MVP.

If this bet hits, the bettor will be rewarded with a cool, $600,000 payday.
However, there’s a reason Caesar’s is willing to give them this much juice on a singular bet.
For one, as the Action Network calls out, Young only has six tackles on the year and zero sacks.
He was added to the San Francisco 49ers’ roster in hopes of playing extremely well when healthy, but that hasn’t exactly panned out as both sides intended.
While Young isn’t having his best statistical season, there is another aspect to this bet that makes it that much more difficult to hit.
There have only been eight defensive players to win Super Bowl MVP, with the latest being Von Miller in Super Bowl 50.
It is difficult for defensive players to win this award, especially considering it typically goes to either wide receivers or quarterbacks.
Fans have been interested to see how this bet pans out, and if Young has the game of his life, this particular bettor could walk away from this game as a very, very rich person.
