Nevada bookmaker Chris Andrews from the
Cal Neva family of sportsbooks (35 locations throughout Nevada) and each and every week will break down what happened in the betting world for the Pregame community. Usually Monday Night Football is a major boom or bust for the books, but the Colts and Bucs as Chris put it was,
"About the deadest Monday night I can remember. We need the Colts for a little, but not much."
College game making $$$ for the book:
*Nevada covering vs Boise St.
NFL game Sunday the books cashed on:
*Seahawks covering over Falcons.
Worst college game:
*Stanford with a late score to cover over UCLA
and
Worst NFL game:
Patriots killing the Raiders. Wiseguys and public
all over Pats.
