Super Bowl Fantasy Review & More

February 6th, 2018
Todd recaps a wild Super Bowl LII in this episode, and it was quite a weekend as Todd not only hosted Todd Wright Tour XIII: Good vs. Evil on Saturday, but he won his way into a DraftKings $2.4M game on Sunday. Unfortunately, Todd was not one of the four winners who all had the perfect lineup and each took home nearly $250,000. However, in other “action,” Todd had the Eagles to win by exactly 8 points at 50-1 for what is commonly considered the toughest of the Vegas prop bets to hit. That’s actually two years in a row; Todd scored on that same prop bet last year having the Patriots by exactly 6 points. The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast continues all off-season long and will post every Friday starting next week.
