Circa Friday Football Invitational | November 13, 2026 | Hour 3

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

On this show, we're all about knowing what you're putting your money on. The numbers, the matchups, the details. I want that same kind of information about the food I'm eating. That's what I love about Omaha steaks. They have nothing to hide. They tell you where the meat comes from, how it's cut, how it's aged, and what it costs. The first time I opened a box, you could see the difference right away. The marbling, the cut, the care, the quality was on another level from what I normally pick up. Real sourcing, real craft, that's protein I trust. Shop proteins you can trust at omahastakes.com. And right now during their semi-annual sale, get $25 off with orders over $149, using code BEST at checkout. That's B-E-S-T at checkout, and that's at omahastakes.com.

25 pro handicappers, $30,000 on the line. This is the Circa Friday Football Invitational, presented by Omaha Steaks on VSiN, the sports betting network.

Matt Youmans (1:05)

All right, welcome back. This show is brought to you by Omaha Steaks each Friday night. Right now, you get two free pounds of ultra premium ground beef. On your order of $129 or more, with the promo code NOBULL, omahastakes.com/vsin.

See the QR code there on the screen. And Scott Pritchard joins me in studio right now. He heard there was going to be Omaha Steaks served. Sorry, Scott, to deceive you, but all the steaks are gone.

Scott Pritchard (1:29)

False alarm. I guess they knew I was coming. Probably just a coincidence, but I think not. Every time I go to a buffet and I rave about how good it is, the next time I go, they increase the price.

Matt Youmans (1:40)

Scott Pritchard, Las Vegas Pro Better and former comedian, and I want to stress the word former. All right, let's take a look at the standings here. Alex White is at the top, 40 and 23, ATS, Chris Massero in 2nd, Carl Sack, Doug Fleming, Steve Fezik, Scott Pritchard, Ed Sammons, Jeff Petch, Matt St. Marie right there. There's a four-way tie for six between Pritchard, Sammons, Petch and St. Marie, and then in 10th, Jason Jarvis, who was in studio tonight, followed by Weston Stratman, Randy McKay and Kenny White. Kenny's daughter, Alex, the leader, and big Randy McKay is going to join the show here later this hour. We'll see Scott Pritchard, 36 and 27, five and four in the Best Bets, 38.5 points. And Scott, you've got, I believe, what, three top six finishes in this contest?

Two top three finishes?

Scott Pritchard (2:29)

Yeah, you know this because I remind you on a daily basis. But yeah, fortunately-

Matt Youmans (2:32)

I get a text from you every morning about it.

Scott Pritchard (2:35)

Fortunately, the three years I've been in the contest, this is year number four, two of the last three years, third place, and then two years ago, sixth place. And right now, like you said, there's a logjam, man. There's like Jarvis is in 10th place, but he's right there.

Matt Youmans (2:50)

We are about halfway through this contest. I believe we're going to have 20 weeks. We expanded into the January calendar this year, and this is week 10 By the way, I want to clarify the rules in case we have delays, postponements, cancellations in any games this weekend. And these are written into the rules for the Circuit Friday Football Invitational. If there is a disruption to the weekly football schedule, and more than 50% of the scheduled games in the NFL get cancelled, all remaining contestants will continue. No one will get cut the following week. It does not appear that's going to be an issue. But cancelled or postponed games are worth a half point.

All games, including postponed games, must be played by the following Thursday to count. And as always, if we have an issue, Derrick Stevens has the authority to make a final ruling in any contest rules disputes. Scott Pritchard, you've been watching the screen all day.

A lot of issues here with travel, with many teams. Kind of chaos with the college football schedule. FAA has now lifted the ground stop, but that means flights still are going to be backed up for a long time. Anything that you took away from today, did you use that to your advantage this afternoon? Or what did you make of everything that happened this afternoon with the travel issues?

Scott Pritchard (4:05)

As if I don't have enough to worry about trying to compete with 25 of the world's best pro bettors and sharp handicappers. I don't leave any stones uncovered, but now the FAA gets involved with stopping or canceling or rescheduling suspending flights. Are you kidding me?
