With so little information known about any of the teams playing this weekend, laying a 4.5-point favorite is admittedly, a bit ridiculous — why not take the points that are essentially free?
First, because I do not want to bet against Apollos head coach Steve Spurrier, who, at 73 years old, can still probably coach the heck out of a football game.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Legends were supposed to be led by Brad Childress, but the former Vikings coach abruptly left the team in January, leaving Kevin Coyle to take over the role.
Again, it's insane not to take the points in this spot, but this entire endeavor of betting on a brand new football league is rather insane to begin with, so why not lean in?
