Hour number three, Ready, Set, Bet here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. But boy, we are not done after hour number three. Oh no, you're going to hang around. We got the contest show coming up. We're going to let you know how many people ended up joining Circus Survivor. There was 20 million guaranteed. We know we got there because we got there days ago. But where did we end up with the final count? Where did we end up the final count with Grandisimo? That was guaranteed four million blew past that a long time ago as well. See where we ended up there. And did we meet the guarantee over a million? Overlay last year? I know, picking five against the spread is hard. It's tough, I know, it's tough. And it comes out, kind of plays out in the entries in that one. But we'll see. Maybe there's some, maybe there's some overlay. So anyone that got in, free money, Derek's money coming out of his pocket. Ohio State did not turn it into a touchdown, but it did turn it into points. So turnover in the very first play of the game for Texas. Ohio State turns it into a field goal. Probably would have loved to punch that in the end zone. Couldn't get it done from the 17 yard line. So instead, get you a good live number here if you wanted to get in on this one. Remember, kicked off at a point and a half in favor of Texas. And there are so many games going on right now, just scroll forever, now one and a half in favor of Ohio State. So point and a half Ohio State, 51 and a half total, money lines like a coin flip, if you want to go that direction.

But as we talked to Ben Stevens, he liked Ohio State.

And I was, like I said, I mean, for me, so long as this offensive line holds up, which again, they weren't able to punch it in from the 17, so there's at least something to be said about the defense from Texas. Having to come out there unexpectedly and does hold them to a field goal. But I like that the Ohio State side, their offense better than the Texas defense was kind of what I thought here. We'll see. Third and one now for Texas, as they kind of have the ball here on their, basically first real possession. They turned over in the very first one. They are going to convert, so we'll have a first and 10 We'll see how this all plays out for them.

If you were at Tailgates, I'm sure there were Cookies Galore over there with that one.

So let's get more into some of these NFL games. Like I said, play the teaser leg on the Jags. They're going to be super popular in Survivor. All that's rightfully so. Probably kind of an under the radar DFS team as well, because I think people are still going to Oh, my goodness, we just have a second turn over in this one. Cam Colen, by the way, projected first rounder, Cam Colen, tries to make a leaping catch. It bounces off of his chest into the air, directly into the Ohio State players hands. So first two possessions. Yeah, Colmen, kind of like a lunging catch, not necessarily like a laid out diving catch, but kind of a lunging catch. But he rolls over onto his back, so it wasn't the ground that popped the ball up in the air. So he rolls over on his back, it bounces off his chest, directly into the defender's hands.

First two drives for Texas, two turnovers. We'll see if this stands, it's also getting reviewed. And he was kind of rolling, as opposed to already on his back, so this will be an interesting review call here, as to whether the ground actually kind of popped up in the air or not.

But boy, this would be a disastrous start for Texas at home, if this does hold. Again, fumble on the first play from scrimmage, and then this could be another turn over here. Though this will be way down the field. It was a long pass to Coleman. 10-15 mark in the first quarter. Buffalo Bills in the Houston Texans in one of the more intriguing matchups of the entire Week 1 Slate. Buffalo Bills on the road at a team is going to have a very good defense. There's no doubt about this with the Texans. So it is strength on strength for sure. Josh Allen versus one of the best defenses in the NFL. Call is upheld, by the way. First down, Ohio State. So two turnovers in the first two possessions for the University of Texas. A fumble and an interception.
