Monday was a day of mostly looking ahead and handicapping the college football and NFL schedules this upcoming weekend.
I also did my fatherly duty of taking our son, Maddux, to Las Vegas Youth Orchestra practice after school, and followed our wagers on the day. We won our Best Bet on the Commanders +11 vs. the Eagles as they pulled the outright upset, 32-21. Our weekly “Monday Night Football recap” can be found on VSiN.com as we break down what happened in the game from a betting perspective, and then update our ATS stats for Week 10 and the season. We did lose a bet on the Senators +105 vs. the Islanders as they lost 4-2. Although we passed on the other NHL “swagger play” on Monday, we hope some readers went ahead and bet the Flames -170 as they beat the Kings 6-5. Monda and . Sunday was a very long, but very exciting day in the Tuley’s Take home office with wall-to-wall games starting here in Las Vegas at 6:30 a.m. PT until nearly 8:30 p.m. PT, at which time I prepared to go on VSiN’s The Greg Peterson Experience” to recap all of the NFL Week 10 action and give some early picks for NFL Week 11. Let’s recap the rest of Monday’s betting action (including a peek into Contest Corner with Circa Survivor down to 86 live entries and updates on the Circa Sports Million and Westgate SuperContest leaderboards), and then give our Best Bet for Tuesday in the NHL as we don’t like either of the MACtion underdogs. In addition, we add updates to our early NFL Week 11 bets that we gave out on “The Greg Peterson Experience” on Sunday night and in the Monday version of this column.Monday’s Recaps
