I walked into Circa on Friday night and the first person I ran into was Circa owner Derek Stevens. He was gathering his crew at the Legacy Club to plan for their fantasy football draft.
Yes, fantasy drafts will be in the air at VSiN and Circa all week.
VSiN will hold its 2nd annual NFL Futures Draft on Thursday.
Thirteen VSiN hosts and guests face off in a fantasy-football-style snake draft hosted by Dustin Swedelson. They can select win totals, division winners, player props and stat leaders — and can’t repeat any selections through the 10 rounds.
What that means for you: 130 futures bets to consider for your own portfolio.
Last year’s competitors are back for Year 2, joined by three newcomers: former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, former ESPN betting commentator Nick Bakay and VSiN’s John Hansen.
📺 Tune in Thursday at 5 p.m. ET.
John probably tipped his hand in the VSiN NFL Betting Guide.

We’ve also put together a YouTube collection dedicated to our favorite NFL futures picks and advice.
VSiN Pro subscribers can also download a copy of Matthew Berry’s FantasyLife Magazine as a bonus benefit.
Thursday also marks the opening of Draft Nation’s fantasy football weekend at Circa, where more than 1,000 fantasy football players will gather to hold their drafts.
I expect you’ll see more than a few of the experts in town for the event sharing their prop expertise on VSiN this week.
Episode 5 of Circa Survivor: The Quest for $18.7 Million premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
Catch up on the first four episodes now on VSiN’s YouTube channel.
The Cubs and White Sox renew their crosstown rivalry tonight at Wrigley Field, and Greg Peterson is looking at the Total.
Neither starter has been immune to the long ball. Cubs starter Shota Imanaga has allowed six home runs over his last three starts, while White Sox starter Luis Castillo owns a 4.96 ERA and has allowed 1.4 homers per nine innings.
But there’s a potentially important equalizer tonight:
The wind is expected to be blowing in at Wrigley.
[Brent “The Godfather” Musburger checked in with me on Sunday and reminded me that Wrigley Field winds are hard to predict the night before.]
Castillo is also coming off his best start since arriving in Chicago, throwing six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts against Cincinnati.
🎯 Greg’s Pick: White Sox-Cubs Under 8.5
Greg’s Handicapped Total: 7.8
