Video Transcript
MINTY BETS: Welcome to winners and losers, everyone. It is the last week of the regular season for NFL. I'm here with Director of Trading of MGM Resorts Jeff Stoneback. Jeff, who were the winners of the house this week?
JEFF STONEBACK: Well, overall, it was about a break-even day for the bettors. But they got killed in the morning. In the morning games, they had the Cowboys, which is a loser for them. If they had the Dolphins, the Dolphins opened up as a 4-point dog and went to a 3 and 1/2-point favorite. And the bettors also were on the Vikings, who did not cover against the Lions. So those are the losers for the bettors and the winners for the house.
MINTY BETS: All righty. And who were the winners of the bettors?
JEFF STONEBACK: The bettors did very well with the Packers. That was a huge win for them. The Rams was another winner who opened up as a 3-point dog, closed as a 1-point favorite. And then the Buccaneers was also a winner for the players. So what they lost in the morning they got it back in the afternoon.
MINTY BETS: All righty. Well, this was a very tricky week to handicap. And hopefully you guys were on the right side. And if not, there's always playoff.
