On Mondays this NFL season, you've been accustomed to seeing analysis from Chad Millman, Behind the Bets boss, followed by a gambling breakdown of the "Monday Night Football" line and total from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hilton and a professional handicapper.
This week, however, Chad is on vacation; thus, the Monday Night Chaser will have analysis only from Vegas experts.
Doesn't mean, though, that there aren't plenty of people chasing money after a crazy Sunday of football.
Matchup: Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints
Spread: Opened at Saints -7, now Saints -6.5
Over/Under: Opened at 53, still 52.5
To see where the money has gone on the MNF game, and to read a Vegas handicapper's analysis of the line and total, you must be an ESPN Insider.
- Editor in Chief of ESPN The Magazine
- Writes "Behind The Bets" blog on sports gambling
- Authored seven books, including "The Odds"
ABOUT THIS BLOG
Chad Millman
Chad Millman, Editor in Chief of ESPN The Magazine, joined The Mag as an associate editor in 1998. A year later he left to write "The Odds" -- about a trio of Vegas bookmakers and wiseguys -- and to find riches working for an Internet company. He made tens of dollars on "The Odds," the web biz tanked and he returned to The Mag. He also worked at Sports Illustrated and wrote some other books, including "Iceman" with Chuck Liddell, "Invincible" with Vince Papale, "Pickup Artists" with Lars Anderson, and "The Detonators." His most recent books are the national bestseller "The Ones Who Hit the Hardest," about the blood feud between the 70s Steelers and Cowboys, written with Shawn Coyne, and the New York Times bestseller "They Call Me Baba Booey", with Gary Dell'Abate.
Millman's daily blog explores the culture of sports gambling; on Mondays and Fridays in the fall, he investigates trends in point spreads related to professional football.
