This is VSiN, the sports betting network. This is VSiN, PrimeTime, live from the Circus Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas on VSiN, the sports betting network.

**Tim Murray** (1:09)
We are off and running on a Thursday night where we have checks his notes football tonight, if that's what we want to call the Hall of Fame game. We are in Canton, Ohio, Hall of Fame game, ladies and gentlemen, and we have seen market movement on the total. No big surprise there as it was as high as 36.5 earlier in the week now.
Over our shoulder here at Circus for Cardinals and Panthers, Matt Youmans, down to 34 And you, sir, have a bet on the total.

**Matt Youmans** (1:41)
Bet the under 35.5. Talked about that yesterday with Mitch and Paul. Just a small bet tonight, but it is football season. Football is back and you can feel it here in the Sportsbook tonight, which is starting to fill up a little bit. Now, some of that has to do with Bet Bash here at Circus Resort and Casino. You're seeing a lot of well-known figures in the sports betting industry walking around here today, but it does feel like football is back.
Yes, it's the Panthers and the Cardinals in Canton, Ohio, but it's still a football game for the first time since February, Tim. I logged on to the odd screen today, and a football game was at the top of the screen.

**Tim Murray** (2:19)
Isn't that a beautiful sight?

**Matt Youmans** (2:20)
It is. Carolina, Arizona.
Number is one and a half Panthers favored one here at Circa totaled down to 33 and a half or 34 It was as high as 36 and a half at DraftKings early this week, but it's great to have football back. And we're going to have 21 consecutive Thursday nights with a football game starting tonight.

**Tim Murray** (2:42)
Man, that guy made me feel good thinking about that. So also three weeks from Saturday, we'll have the start of the college football season. It couldn't be me without mentioning the college football right around the corner. But a lot of NFL talk today. I made two bets today in the futures market. We'll talk about later on in the show. One offensive rookie of the year. No, not Jeremiah Love. And one defensive rookie of the year. Made one of them here at Circa. So we'll talk about some of our favorite bets. Obviously, our VSiN NFL Guide has been out for a while. Our College Football Guide is out right now. But Matt, I want to ask you a question because you seem like you're in a good mood. Football is back.
You couldn't have possibly had the Toronto Blue Jays today. Because if you had the Toronto Blue Jays, you would have came in here with a rotten mood.

**Matt Youmans** (3:37)
I had the Blue Jays, yes.
I bet the Blue Jays, but I'm not pissed off about it. I also had two plays up on the VSim Pro page in baseball this morning. The first was the Reds. The Reds tried to blow the game. They were up 6-3 in the ninth and they won 6-5. So got the first one in. I had the Blue Jays minus 115 Dylan Cease was sensational for seven innings. Bullpen blew it in the ninth. Blue Jays lose 3-2 and 11 Hey, that happens. You bet baseball that's going to happen.

**Tim Murray** (4:07)
Alex Bregman with two outs in the ninth in a 2-0 game launches a two-run homer.
96% chance of winning entering the ninth inning, leading 2-0. But yes, you bet baseball.
You know what you've signed yourself up for. But going back to that just real quickly, Cubs win again and we were talking to, what is it, I believe Colin Murphy, a friend of Vesin outside and he was listening to the show a couple nights ago. And your hedge off of the Brewers in the division. The Brewers keep winning. They won again today. But the Cubs, man, they sweep the Dodgers. Clearly a tricky spot today against Dylan Cease off of the sweep of the Dodgers. They find a way to win. These two teams are in an epic battle, it feels like, for the NL Central.
