This is VSiN Primetime on VSiN, the eSportsBetting Network.

Tim Murray (0:07)

Alongside Matt Youmans, I'm Tim Murray. We got a good night to sit back and live bet. We've got game six of the ALCS, Rays and Guardians. That game's starting in less than 10 minutes, and we got Monday Night Football. Before we go behind the counter, Matt, Circa Friday Football Invitational plays, and we've got three of the contestants on our side, the commanders, and they're pretty sharp NFL bettors too.

Matt Youmans (0:32)

I say misery loves company, but you love the company of some of the sharpest handicappers in the Friday Football Invitational, don't you? Jack Lindenberg, Jason Jarvis, and Chris Coyne. Jarvis, a two-time top 10 finisher in the Circa Million. Chris Coyne, the reigning Circa Million champ, and Jack Lindenberg in the top 10 a year ago.

You want to be on their side, and we are with the commanders plus seven and a half. Clyde Walker, the reigning average Joe champ on the over tonight. Clyde played that what? Over 52

Tim Murray (1:01)

Yep, over 52, and that number has come down a little bit. How is this game being bedded from a sportsbook standpoint? Well, let's find out right now.

SPEAKER_1 (1:10)

Where are the lines changing? And where's the money going? Let's go behind the counter.

Tim Murray (1:15)

Let's head out to Atlantic City, the Borgata, where our good friend Thomas Gable joins us right now. And Thomas, we see the commanders catching seven and a half at most sportsbooks. There is a couple of sevens, including here at Circa. But that all being said, I would imagine the sportsbook will be cheering for the underdog. What has the action been like for you guys for tonight's Monday Night Football game?

Thomas Gable (1:39)

Yeah, good evening, guys. We're actually at seven. We've been at seven now for probably last hour or two now.

So, yeah, we're, best result would be a commander's outright win if they can pull that off. And, you know, we've already seen some big dogs come through outright this week in the NFL. So, if we can get one more home here tonight, that'd be fantastic. But, yeah, I mean, even on the spread, you know, again, it's seven and a half. You saw some more respected people come in there, I think, that's seven and a half on the commanders. But, by and large, the public here is betting 49ers.

Matt Youmans (2:25)

Thomas, you said something there I was going to ask you about. But let's do it now. Big favorites going down in the NFL this week, the biggest being the Rams.

It's got to be one of the best, if not the best, weeks of the NFL season for the Sportsbook so far. Has it been the best? Would you go that far?

Thomas Gable (2:44)

Yeah, I wouldn't, Matt. I mean, it's up there. It's up there. I mean, it's hard to argue with the results you got when you combine Saturday and Sunday, right? I mean, you look at the favorites that went down, the top teams in college football losing on Saturday. Now, some of those games maybe weren't as great, at least from my book, as some people may have thought. You know, we had some Tennessee money there in the Alabama game, so that was sort of a break-even game for us.

We were winners with Georgia going down, but the big one for us on Saturday night was Notre Dame losing outright to BYU. And I think one that had a lot to do with the fact that it was the Primetime game, so you had a day's worth of parlays and teasers being bet into that game, that all got wiped out. So, it's just a huge decision there in the end with BYU winning that outright. And so, it really capped off a big day Saturday. And then yesterday, as you mentioned, with the Rams losing outright, that was big.

Really that late slate, even though there's only three games in the later slate, really nice, nice results for the house there. And even last night, we saw some late money come in on Dallas in the Sunday night game. Dallas ended up closing the favorite. And while Green Bay was favored most of the week in that spot, and so even that worked out well. So, yeah, I mean, you don't get too many days where your margin's that good, but you take them as, when they do come at, and you just kick back for one night, and then you go in the next day and then do it all over again. But you can't sit there and relax after a day like that, because they don't come too frequently.
