THE WEEKEND UPDATE WITH ROB GILLESPIE
Thank you Kansas
State and welcome back Michael Vick. If it wasn't for those games, this could
have been a rough weekend!
Saturday got off
to a great start for the book when Syracuse (+3) beat up Notre Dame but
bettors got revenge and more with big favs Navy and USC winning easily. 8pm
ET was one of our busiest times this entire college season with both the SEC
and Big XII Championship games kicking off at the same time. Action was very,
very strong and bettors came out on LSU and very, very heavy on Oklahoma. LSU
did their part for bettors but Oklahoma looked awful and Kansas State's 35-7
win as a 14+ point dog has to rank as the biggest upset of the year (it is the
highest profile for sure!) and one of the biggest wins for books. In the
late game, bettors got some satisfaction when Boise St rolled past Hawaii but
that one game made for a pretty good Saturday.
For the second
Sunday in a row, the early action was pretty balanced. Bettors came out ahead
with Philly and Baltimore but lost on Detroit (to San Diego) and the Giants
(to Washington). The Vikings/Seahawks Over was one of the most heavily bet
totals of the entire season and the 34-7 score (making Under the winner)
helped the House avoid losses early. I was a little surprised that the
Colts/Titans game didn't get more action as its handle came in right about
average.
In the 4pm games,
both the Broncos/Chiefs and Pats/Dolphins games got a ton of action, but it
was fairly even, with the only real opinion being a slight lean by bettors to
the Pats. The other two games were a split with bettors cashing on the 49ers
but losing when the Bills beat the Jets. The Denver/KC Over was good for
bettors as well.
But Sunday came
down to the late game and bettors piled in on Carolina despite Michael Vick's
return. There was also a lot of play on the Over so the result was good on
both fronts for the book.
