🐂 EW(ers) TRASH

Like we said last week, is it just us or does this football season seem to be getting better and better each week? Georgia-Texas did not disappoint, even if it did involve some trash (literally). (Maybe more student sections will throw trash 🗑️ on the field in order to get a call reversed? 🤔) While the Georgia-Texas game did raise some interesting questions (like how short of a leash does Sarkisian actually have on Ewers?), it, above all, just underscored the level of parity in CFB (or perhaps just the Big 1️⃣0️⃣ and SEC), and it is exactly that parity that has made this season so enjoyable! On that note, let’s see if Navy, Vandy and others can keep their magical 🪄 seasons alive (and keep the chaos coming)!

Aside from those Chiefs in Kansas City, parity seems to be the name of the game in the NFL too! Notwithstanding the parity, public bettors have been feasting on the sportsbooks the last few weeks! It is as though Thanksgiving 🦃🦃 has come early for the public, but you know the books want to stop giving out treats 🍬 Halloween isn't until next week, after all!

Most importantly, with the start of the NBA season this week, we hope you are getting your fill of your favorite sports! (We really are entering the most wonderful time of year 😁)

TRIVIA
 🏈 Putting Up the Points 

Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams are locked in a tight Offensive Rookie of the Year race. DraftKings currently has Daniels at -145 and Williams at +115 to win the award. Malik Nabers is the top rookie receiver at +2000…if only he had a QB that could throw the ball downfield.

2024 No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels’s hot start to his career has him on pace to be the best QB taken from a QB heavy 2024 draft class. Can you name the last No. 2 overall pick that won Offensive Rookie of the Year?
