Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman made headlines last week for an interesting bet he made in regards to the upcoming Super Bowl.

He bet $50,000 that his former team, the New England Patriots, would play in the Super Bowl. He also bet another $50,000 that his former teammate Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be the other team to make the big game for a grand total of $100,000.

Brady's former teammate did then get worried about the fact that he placed a $50,000 bet on the Patriots, led by rookie quarterback Mac Jones and the likelihood that he would lose that money. He then joked that he wouldn't recover financially from the loss.

The Patriots did in fact lose in epic fashion to the Buffalo Bills by a score of 47-17.

Edelman, who was live Tweeting throughout the game, even tagged Wynnbet, who he placed the bet through and jokingly asked if he could get a refund.

After the conclusion of the Bills' dominating performance at home over their AFC East divisional foes, the former Patriots player had one last tweet, essentially saying that he couldn't be contacted and that he is off to start a better life.

While the New England Patriots season is over, the die-hard fan base has a lot to look forward to with the promising career of young quarterback Mac Jones.

As for Julian Edelman, he will be cheering on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hard in hopes of not losing yet another $50,000 bet.

On Saturday night, the possibly lucrative bet failed miserably as the New England Patriots dominated the Buffalo Bills 47-17. It was the worst playoff loss for Patriots head coach Bill Belichick in his career.

A video of the three-time Super Bowl champion wide receiver calling his parents to tell him about his big bet on the Super Bowl went viral last week.

With his dad not agreeing with the decision and his mom asking for a cut of the possible winnings, Julian was pretty confident about his decision.

The former Super Bowl MVP tweeted throughout Saturday's Wild Card game between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills that he seemed to believe there could be a comeback in the Patriots future.

He even went as far as posting a picture of their come from behind win against the Atlanta Falcons.

Let's just hope Edelman can at least make good on his bet with the Buccaneers.
