Good morning, everyone. The Simple Handicap for Tuesday, December 28th. Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

Hopefully your Tuesday is off to a fantastic start as we look forward to NFL week 17 with week 16 officially in the rearview mirror behind us.

No Thursday games. So we're going to jump right into the market

rundown for Sunday. Las Vegas gets things going on the road at the Indianapolis Colts,

a game that has ping ponged back and forth in every sense of the word. So in the open,

anywhere between eight and a half and nine. We talked about the irrelevance of nine yesterday on the podcast

and the few books showing nine and a half weren't all that different from market.

Las Vegas immediately took money that nine and a half and eight and a half across the board were taken.

This actually got down yesterday afternoon as low as six and a half, and it was a six and a half

shaded towards Vegas. So when you're looking at Pinnacle, they opened Vegas nine and a half minus

113, got down to as low as six and a half minus 107 in favor of Las Vegas. And then we had like an interesting news break.

So two different beat reporters for Las Vegas said COVID news is coming for the Raiders,

but they didn't say who the news was coming about. And so there was like some market uncertainty

for about a 12 to 15 minute window where nobody knew it was going on.

And then basically the entire Raiders starting defense was placed on the COVID list.

So we saw this number immediately during that speculation window.

All the six and a halfs were taken.

And now we're back to seven and a half shaded higher with BOL at eight.

Some other offshores at eight as well.

Nobody else in the states in terms of regulated sports books,

Fandooddraft King, Caesar's win bet, and the likes have gone back to eight,

nor has circan, nor has pinnacle.
