The second annual VSiN Pro Football Futures Draft produced 130 picks and almost as many chuckles.
My favorite moment?
Nick Bakay, actor and former ESPN betting commentator, has been a VSiN listener for many years — and it showed.
He admitted that he named a fantasy football team in tribute to Matt Youmans’ annual fast-food rankings.
The name? Matt Youmans’ Colon.
Former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson was another tremendous addition to this year’s draft.
We’ve posted all the picks from the 13 VSiN and VSiN-adjacent personalities.
One caveat: The exercise is to win the contest. So long shots — not necessarily Best Bets — are encouraged. Plus, no repeat picks were allowed, so some drafters had to go pretty deep into their playlists.
Picks from Adam Burke and Dave Tuley are in, along with Steve Makinen’s Week 2 Analytics Report.

When you hear “betting splits,” the natural assumption is that the goal is to find the public side and fade it.
Not so fast.
Steve Makinen has updated his college football betting systems based on VSiN Betting Splits, and one of the most important takeaways is that the public isn’t always wrong.
Some of Steve’s systems are contrarian. Others identify situations where following the majority has historically been profitable.
With the college football season approaching, it’s a useful primer on how to interpret those percentages rather than simply fading the most popular team.
We could get a preview of the National League Cy Young race this afternoon in Milwaukee.
Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski is the odds-on favorite with a 1.75 ERA, 13.6 strikeouts per nine innings and just 0.8 home runs allowed per nine.
His biggest competition might be Atlanta’s Chris Sale, who owns a 2.16 ERA with 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings.
So naturally, Greg Peterson is betting…
the Over, granted a low number at 6.5.
Greg points to Sale’s home/road split — his ERA rises from 1.65 at home to 2.69 on the road — and two productive offenses. Milwaukee ranks fourth in MLB scoring at 5.0 runs per game, while Atlanta ranks eighth at 4.8.
🎯 Greg’s Pick: Braves-Brewers Over 6.5
Greg’s Handicapped Total: 7.2
