Inside the Mind of The Gregapus
Rocky Mountain Rundown #3
The Betting Article
We’re less than one week from Opening Night. Time for the only piece that matters: gambling. This is an exercise in friendly wagering and bad decisions, I won’t be the house, even though given this league’s betting history I could probably retire after 1 season as the bookie. Below you’ll find updated championship lines, team season totals, leader markets, awards, and a few random bets to spice up the action.
