Welcome to Thursday Night Betcast with Keyshawn Johnson and Patrick Meagher, right here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

Patrick Meagher (0:20)

All right, we gotta flip on the number over at DK.

Well, now it's gone back, Ram's a point and a half. Saw Circa, where Keyshawn's sitting there. They got to pick them in 42 and a half on the total as you take a look at Circus Sports there, right behind Keyshawn's shoulders. That's the sports book, which is obviously packed. That is the best sports book in Vegas bar none. Of course, Derek Stevens and the crew, that is the place to be. Keyshawn, back in the day, nobody went downtown until Stevens came to town, and now everybody wants to hang out at Circus Sports.

Keyshawn Johnson (0:53)

I never, ever, ever, ever, ever have come this far in Vegas, ever. When I first got here a year ago, I came to watch games. I just wanted to see the pool, the stadium, swimming pool, the whole deal, and drop some bets and watch college football the next day, pro football, and fell in love with it from there, and then all of a sudden this morphed into me being a part of VSiN.

It's just been an amazing ride so far.

Patrick Meagher (1:24)

Hey, it brought us together. What could be better? It is the Thursday Night Betcast. He's Keyshawn Johnson. I'm Patrick Meagher. Live on VSiN, the eSports betting network, San Francisco's ball, Simplecast on Mad Dog Sports Radio. Remember, spread the word. You can find us on YouTube TV. Just look up VSiN orca.tv as well. All right. So let's reset here.

We're seeing these unders, but this is trending under. These offenses are sloppy early. Even the 49ers, the way they kind of, they just kind of took chunks. It's not an explosion explosion right now. And you called it out.

Matthew Stafford needs to settle down. Yeah.

Keyshawn Johnson (2:03)

He's got to settle down a little bit, Patrick. And that's okay. This typical early jitters, beginning of the season. Once you settle in, he'll be the Matthew Stafford, the MVP guy. I'm, I'm, I'm 100% positive of that. He's got to get to understand and know what Raheem Morris, the defense coordinator of San Francisco 49ers, they're trying to do to him. And once he figures that out, whether it's half time adjustments made by the coach or second half adjustments made by Matthew Stafford, I believe that things will change in the second half, let alone, oh, almost got a pick there, let alone, no, it was, he almost got his ball bouncing in the air. Fourth and two, Patrick, about two minutes to go in the first quarter. They stopped them and Chris McCaffrey is limping right now, believe it or not.

He's limping a little bit, so we got to watch that throughout the course of the game.

Patrick Meagher (2:53)

Yeah, they're going to have to punt it away. It's fourth and two, right around the 27, 30 of San Francisco's own territory. So they're going to let the ball fly and the Rams are going to get another opportunity. Listen, I've been following Matthew Stafford's career the whole entire time. He can start off slow, be a little rusty once he gets in that rhythm. As you know, quarterbacks, they like a rhythm. Once he gets in that rhythm, he'll go nuts and the Rams are going to get the ball back. A buck 59 to go in the first in Melbourne on Netflix, San Francisco up three nothing, Keyshawn laid the three and a half. The rest of the experts here took the three and a half. So it's key versus that. It's like Keyshawn, he's the dude in Game of Thrones as everybody's coming over the hill.

He's got his sword, he's pulling it out. He's ready to fight. But you mentioned real quick, you mentioned not going downtown.

Maybe you can let people know nationally what Circa's like, because when you walk into the sports book at Circa, it is just, I mean, I've never seen anything like it with the boards and the TV's. It's wild.

Keyshawn Johnson (3:56)

No, it is Circa's amazing.

It's not kid friendly. It's adults only, which I like, which is, you know, I just like it. It doesn't have all the fancy shopping for clothes and all that sort of stuff. It's none of that. It's sports betting, gaming, good steakhouse and berries. It's a handful of tables that you could play, your blackjack, your craps or whatever you want to play. But the sports book is just one of a kind. I mean, it really truly is a one of a kind sports book, as well as the swimming pool out back, where you can watch the games, you know, in swimming the pool, laying the water, do whatever you want to do in terms of that. It's a good place. I would, as an adult, there's no question about it. This would be the hotel, because the rooms are nice. It's not, you know, people think of downtown, they think of like 1960s or something like that. This is, no, this hotel can rival with any of the other hotels along the strip.
