It's a great day to be alive, and it's a great day to be a better. Welcome to another edition of VSiN PrimeTime here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. I'm Femi Abebefe hanging out with you guys at the Circus Resort and Casino in downtown Las Vegas, alongside my guy, Will Hill, back on the East Coast. It was fun to have him in studio last Wednesday. He's back on his home turf on the East Coast this Wednesday. Will, how are we doing here? As summer quickly going away, my friend, football is here.

**Will Hill** (0:50)
It is great to be with you. It was fun being out there last week or just talking. It was, you know, it was a fun experience.
You will always get to say you watch my kids get kicked out of the bar for the first time. Apparently, the bar doesn't allow three-year-olds in there, but that's another story. I felt like not happening. Grand opening, grand closing. But yes, yes. I think it's an underrated night in the sports calendar. We always talk about, I know you bring up like the first NBA Saturday playoffs. We all know March Madness, conference title games, some of the playoff dates. The first night of the NFL preseason that Thursday where you get like a full game. The NFL fame game is nice, but that first Thursday where you get four or five games and you get the multi-screen and you flip around.
You get sick of it after a couple of weeks, but it's nice to have it back. It's nice to be able to watch it, to bet it, and we get that tomorrow. So we're getting there, Femi. Two weeks from Saturday, college football kicks off. Everything's pushed back. It seems like four or five days, but we'll get there. And we've made it in terms of the preseason. We get it back tomorrow night.

**Femi Abebefe** (1:50)
Oh, we absolutely cannot wait. I have bets on the preseason. I'm sure Will has bets as well on the NFL preseason. Like you mentioned, the first couple of weeks, all right, it's cool. By the time you get to the end of it, it's week three of the preseason. All right, get this out of here. Let's get to the real stuff. Let's get to the NFL. At that point, because then college football then joins the conversation. So it's okay. We at least get meaningful football. We can watch the college stuff for a couple of weeks, and then we'll get the real deal NFL after Labor Day weekend. But it's a great time, and we're going to have ourselves a great time over these next four hours. As always, make sure to hit up vsin.com/watch the VSiN Watch app if you'd like to watch us.

Then at 9.45 Eastern Time, our VSiN teammate, betting analyst, PJ Glasser, will hang out with us, talk all things college football. As PJ has a Heisman Trophy bet for us later this evening, you'll want to stick around for that one at 9.45 Eastern Time. At 10.15 Eastern, betting analyst at SportsLion on CBS Sports HQ, Betting with Bearman is the podcast. It is our good buddy, David Bearman, talking all things FedEx Cup Playoffs and his thoughts on the NFL Futures Market, attacking not just regular season win totals, but also getting in some of the season long props there for some of you fantasy football players out there. You want to stick around for the late night at 10.15 with our guy David Bearman. But Will, we have so much that we have to get to over the course of these four hours. Let's not waste any more time. Let's go right to the American League East for our VSiN PrimeTime Game of the Night.
