✨ Instant Classics

To be honest, we are still a little speechless 🤯🤯 after those Georgia-Alabama and Miami-Virginia Tech games last week! Those games were, without a doubt, instant classics - and they also serve as perfect examples as to why America loves 🏈 football season! From a (questionable) reversal of a Hail Mary touchdown to a 1️⃣7️⃣-year-old sensation saving Alabama from a major collapse (and ruining Georgia’s historic comeback), the drama from those games has carried us through the week, and we hope that this week’s games have just as much to offer. It isn’t just college football that is giving us these great games; the NFL too has had much to offer us this season. It seems like anything can happen from week-to-week in the NFL; I mean who would’ve thought the Broncos would beat the ✈️ Jets ✈️ and that the Commanders look like the best team in the NFC East! The only constant seems to be that the Chiefs won’t lose and the Jags won’t win…

As the season progresses, we can only wish for more games like the UGA-ALA and VT-MIA games from last week! Let’s just hope that our bets are on the right side of those outcomes 🙏🙏

This week we are featuring Gaming Intelligence. Their premium insights allow sports bettors to easily track line movement, bet splits, and matchup trends. Users can also easily shop odds to maximize ROI with their best odds tool. We sat down with Founder and CEO Edward Kahl and asked him a few questions:

What brought you to this industry? As a lifelong sports enthusiast and technologist architecting complex data systems, I saw a major opportunity in the sports betting industry. I noticed a lack of innovation and new technology in how consumers interact with sports and gaming.  That's when I decided to leverage my expertise to create cutting-edge products that simplifies and enhances the customer experience. 

What advice would you give to a new sports bettor? Betting should be fun and informed, take advantage of the tools available to you! For example, Gaming Intelligence offers a simulator where you can practice and learn by betting on real events without risking real money. 

Best sports betting tip? Sports betting blind is like driving without a GPS, you might get to your destination, but you’ll take a lot of wrong turns along the way.

What’s your favorite type of bet? My favorite bet to place is a 3-team moneyline parlay. Straight moneyline bets tend to pay less, but when you parlay them, the potential return becomes much more appealing. Plus, you have a better chance of winning compared to trying to cover point spreads. It's a great way to maximize value without taking on as much risk.

Why Gaming Intelligence? Our next-generation, proprietary platform stands as an all-encompassing tool for navigating and simplifying the intricate world of odds and sports data, offering unparalleled insights and opportunities for both seasoned bettors and newcomers alike. 

TRIVIA
💰 Worth Every Penny 💰

The Atlanta Falcons gave Kirk Cousins a $180 million contract in the offseason, expecting him to be the leader of their franchise for the foreseeable future (although that Penix pick in the Draft was a little confusing 🤔) If Thursday night was any indication, Kirk Cousins was probably worth every penny for the Falcons, so long as he can keep up that level of play. He completed 42 of 58 passes for 509 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 interception against the Bucs - leading the Falcons to a dramatic win against a division rival!

Thursday night marked the sixth time Kirk Cousins has thrown for 350 yards and three touchdowns in a prime-time game, which, according to ESPN Research, ties him with two other quarterbacks who have hit those marks in prime-time games. Do you know who those other two quarterbacks are?

TRIVIA ANSWER

With his performance on Thursday Night Football, Kirk Cousins tied Patrick Mahomes and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks with over 350 yards and 3+ touchdowns in prime time, according to ESPN Research.

Now, the real question is, as a Jags fan, how can we get Trevor Lawrence to start hitting numbers like those? Given his contract extension over the summer, there must be a few people in the Jags front office hoping for the same thing too 😅
