Dave Ross (0:41)

We begin the Power Hour right here on VSiN By The Books. I'm Dave Ross right here at the Men Gaming Hall, Franklin, Kentucky, inside our VSiN studio, overlooking beautiful circus sports. He is our closer Jensen Lewis back home in Cleveland, Ohio.

Sports World is going to be looking at you guys tomorrow night here at the ALCS. Shifts back to the land here for game number three. All eyes will be on Chavez Ravine tonight for game three between the Dodgers and the Brewers. What a lineup we've got here. Roy Philpott is going to join us here, Jensen, talking about the game. He's on the call with Mississippi State Nellis. You Stormy is going to be on that call with Roy this weekend. Adam Burke, lots of things going on right now here at the network. We'll get to Burke here and everything going on if you're a VSiN Pro subscriber. Of course, it's Wednesday, which means our Wednesdays with Wes. I'm sure Jensen will have an opinion on this Ohio State, Indiana big time tilt in college football this weekend, but wow, we appreciate all the emails that we get. We ask for those at buythebooksatvsin.com. We ask you to tell us where you are emailing, where you're watching us from, listening to us from across this great country of ours or even outside of it. We have a couple entries today that we'd like to kickstart this segment with. What do we have?

Jensen Lewis (1:49)

Yeah, so Jimmy from the Cape, one of the OGs with, as he likes to say, small email, small email. It's never small with Jimmy. OK, so he has some Super Bowl exactives. And what I mean by some, it's like 25 exactives that he's put in here. And he says, here are some of my investments to choose from.

Prices are still volatile. If you had to choose one championship matchup, exact result. This is in the National Football League. I said it has been recently added to the menu at DraftKings and Fandl. Which one matchup would you start your portfolio with? So various ones that he has here. Dave, I sifted through it. And as you know, I like to go through the positive expected value route here. And these are the ones that I came up with. I will go in my top three. Number three would be Vikings over the Ravens. Ravens again, legitimate AFC contender. We know, again, this is maximum positive expected value. That's how I'm looking at it. Not what I think could get there, but if you're trying to maximize the value. I think this is pretty solid. So at DK, that's 82 to 1 Fandl is a little lower at 77 to 1 So obviously that DraftKings price is be what you prefer.

I think it is one of the cleaner value plays for what you're looking at and the road into those conference title games. Number two would be the 49ers over the Jaguars. Again, you get another undefeated team in the NFC side there. Best point differential in the league. They've got about a 15% chance right now to win the Super Bowl.

Roughly about 30%, I think, to win the NFC. Jacksonville, as I told you before, we gotta start taking them seriously. And if the AFC is as wide open as we believe it is, then the Jags is good as any to get in there. And finally, my top choice, Jimmy, would be the Vikings over the Jaguars. I think that's the clearest value of everything you sent us. That's 88 to one, I believe, on DraftKings and FanDuel. To me, you look at model versus market for people that wanna go out there and say, hey, this is what my price tells me. This is what the market discrepancy looks like.

I think that's pretty good. And again, this is exact forecast, so exact result. Vikings over the Jaguars in the Super Bowl. Those would be my top three recommendations. Jimmy, appreciate you as always for not only emailing us, but tuning in every single day.
