Steelers' Pat Freiermuth Has Rare Chance To Win $32,453 For One Lucky Fan

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end, Pat Freiermuth, was extended right before the 2024 season began. With new quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields on board, many fans and analysts expected Freiermuth to elevate his game, and he has done just that. In the 2024 season, Freiermuth has been more involved in the offense, benefiting from improved quarterback play and Arthur Smith’s fresh offensive system. So far, he has hauled in 24 receptions for 245 receiving yards and two touchdowns, establishing himself as a consistent target.

Week 8 in the NFL was celebrated as National Tight End Day, a day honoring tight ends league-wide. One sports bettor took the holiday spirit to heart, placing a unique parlay on 10 different tight ends to score a touchdown this week. Miraculously, all nine of the other tight ends scored on Sunday, leaving Freiermuth as the final leg of the bet. The odds may have been steep, but this fan is now one touchdown away from an extraordinary payout.

If Freiermuth manages to find the end zone, he will turn this lucky bettor’s $1 wager into an incredible $32,453.82. 

Cade Otton, Mark Andrews, Sam LaPorta, David Njoku, Dalton Kincaid, Evan Engram, Travis Kelce, Tucker Kraft, and George Kittle all scored, checking off nine of the 10 picks needed to complete the bet. But the final leg is Freiermuth to score, as he takes the field Monday night against the New York Giants at home. 

The sportsbook DraftKings is currently offering the bettor a cash-out option, a tactic sometimes used to avoid paying the full ticket. While this option generally favors the house, as it allows the sportsbook to minimize its payout, it can be appealing to bettors looking for a safe and immediate win.

It’s not an easy decision. Should the bettor ride out the parlay, risking only the original $1 bet, or cash in now? DraftKings is offering $6,383.99, an instant payout that would end the bet, forfeiting the chance to win the full $32,453.82. The choice comes down to locking in a guaranteed amount or holding out for the big prize, with all eyes on Freiermuth’s performance Monday night.

Will Steelers' Pat Freiermuth Score A Touchdown Against The Giants?

A lively debate is unfolding on social media about whether the bettor should cash out or hold steady. Freiermuth has a somewhat favorable matchup against the Giants, but for the bettor, only a touchdown matters. With two touchdowns in seven games, Freiermuth’s odds of scoring sit around 28.57%, which adds to the suspense. The sportsbook is giving him three to one odds to score a touchdown.

Last season, and even at the start of 2024, betting on any Steelers player to score a touchdown might have seemed unwise. However, with Wilson and Smith’s new offense finding its rhythm, Freiermuth has a real shot to finish this parlay on Monday night. The bettor is super hopeful that he’ll find the end zone and bring home the full payout.
