Welcome back, it is our number three of Live Bet Sunday here on VSiN V Sports Betting Network. Femi Abebefe, Joe Ceraulo, hanging out with you guys here on this Labor Day weekend. Hope everybody is having a good, fun, extended holiday weekend as we wrap up summer and football season now fully upon us. We have football on our TVs, the Apple Cup. I don't know what the hell Demond Williams is doing here, Joe. The Washington Huskies just got an interception, so they punted the ball. Washington State, of course, then turns the ball right over. So I'm assuming that was a part of Jed Fish's plan when they punted the ball at midfield. But I believe this is going to be an intentional grounding on Demond Williams as he kept retreating in the pocket under pressure and threw to nobody.

So it's a little difficult here for my husband.

Joe Ceraulo (0:55)

He was out of the pocket, right?

Femi Abebefe (0:57)

He might not have been. I think he was just inside, perhaps.

Joe Ceraulo (1:02)

His O line is not sharp. I mean, the O line is problematic right now.

Femi Abebefe (1:06)

Hasn't been great if you laid it with the Huskies. I did not bet the game. Also, the ball, I don't think made it to the line of scrimmage. Oh, it was actually, I think it's like maybe half a yard short of the line of scrimmage. So we'll see. They're going to decide. I believe they're going to call it an intentional grounding. But we'll keep you posted on that all throughout this final hour of the program. Our best bets, of course, for the two late games coming up a little bit later on to wrap things up. Joining us right now, he is our good buddy, betting analyst for BetUS, our friend, Alex Noops Christenson. Joining us via the Progressive Guest Line on Twitter at UnderscoreNoops. Noops, what's going on? Happy Labor Day Weekend to you and yours. How we doing here with the extended Labor Day Week?

Alex Noops Christenson (1:43)

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, you know? It's, we're getting close. We have one week till football. I know that you guys are watching some form of football right now, but football really starts on Wednesday, folks. And I could be more excited.

Femi Abebefe (1:55)

Look at Noops' anti-college football guy over here. That's what we want to do. I mean, you know what? I understand the players aren't as good. I understand we don't know which teams the players are even playing for, but damn it, it's football and we can bet on it. So we're locked in as we're watching the Apple Cup, the greatest rivalry in North American sports. But let's talk about Wednesday night, because you mentioned Wednesday night, Patriots and the Seahawks. Seahawks laying three and a half in the rematch of the Super Bowl.

What do you make of this one? Any side total? Any props that you like? How do you bet an opening night?

Alex Noops Christenson (2:29)

It's going to be a very interesting game. I've got my fingers crossed that maybe we'll see some late action on the Patriots, so I can get a shot at Seahawks, minus three, but I don't think that's going to happen. I think the numbers that we're looking at here, barring again, some sort of surprise injury or missing player here. We are kind of where we are.

If I had to bet a side, I still lean Seattle. I just think that team is fantastic. And you know, it's not just coming off of what we saw from one game. In the Super Bowl, it's the whole season for them. You know, you look at through some of the players they lost. You know, they will miss Kenneth Walker, Kobe Bryant, and things like that. But they were still able to improve other parts of the team. It's still arguably the best roster in the NFL. Now, we'll see what happens with the Patriots, with Drake may healthy.

You know, their left tackle finally healthy and then AJ Brown. So it'll be really interesting to see again. Fingers crossed. I'm hoping I get a shot at Seattle minus three, even three minus 20 minus 125 will be a bet.

I think I'll end up passing to three and a half. What I do like is though, folks, and I know I don't have an island like Femi does, but I love first touchdown bets, especially on some of these big one night games. We're just going to go with AJ Barner. He scored the first touchdown on the Super Bowl. You may not remember it because it was somehow deep into the third quarter after about 37 field goals as far as I remember it. But Barner has been one of Donald's favorite targets ever since he joined the Seattle Seahawks. Fantastic player in the Patriots defense has struggled against tight ends all through last season. I don't see any real big changes to push me away from attacking that position. I'm seeing Barner 13 to 1 for the first touchdown, plus 250 to score. I'll be playing both of those.
