Video Transcript

MATT GOTHARD: Welcome back to "Mad Bets," everybody. We are talking week 11 winners and losers. I'm joined by Director of Trading of MGM Resorts Jeff Stoneback. Jeff, let's look at the damage. Who was the biggest winner for the house this week for the NFL?

JEFF STONEBACK: Well, it's been a rough stretch here for the bettor. We actually had quite a few big winners for the house today. The winner, which happens quite often when the Chiefs don't cover, so the Raiders covering against the Chiefs was the number one. Really big one was Washington beating the Bengals. The Broncos upsetting the Dolphins. They opened up as a 3-point dog, closed a 4-point dog. Texans beating Patriots and the Panthers beating the Lions was a big one. And then the Colts winning as favorites against the Packers, but the money was on the Packers, so that was another big win for the house.

MATT GOTHARD: Yeah, that Packers loss is gonna hurt me for a while on the public side on that one. Is there any bright lights at all? Is there like, you know, a silver lining for the public this week?

JEFF STONEBACK: Believe it or not, there was only one game that the public won in the whole slate of games today, and that was the Browns over the Eagles. Even though they opened as 3 and 1/2 point favorites, the professionals bet them down to 2 and 1/2. But in Nevada, we did take a couple six-figure wagers on the Browns. So that one was the only bright spot for the bettors today.

MATT GOTHARD: Well, hopefully you guys are on the right side of this. And if not, there's a big football weekend next week with Thanksgiving. Jeff, thanks so much for stopping by.

JEFF STONEBACK: Thanks for having me. Have a good Thanksgiving.
