🏈 Five Long-Shot Bets
Let’s move from fútbol to football.
With NFL training camps opening this week, football season has officially arrived.
So, inspired by long-shot British Open champion Ryan Fox, I dug through the 2026 VSiN NFL Betting Guide to find five of the boldest futures bets our experts made.
🏆 Kyler Murray to Win NFL MVP (70-1)
Zach Cohen
Zach believes Murray’s dual-threat ability is a perfect fit in Kevin O’Connell’s offense and sees a path to an MVP-caliber season if Minnesota exceeds expectations.
🟣 Vikings to Win the Super Bowl (50-1)
Zach Cohen
If Murray delivers, Zach believes the Vikings can make a legitimate Super Bowl run. He also holds a ticket on Minnesota to win the NFC North.
🔵 Titans to Win the AFC South (+800)
Dave Ross
Dave is buying into Tennessee’s new coaching staff and believes rookie quarterback Cam Ward gives the Titans value in one of the NFL’s most competitive divisions.
🦁 Lions to Win the Super Bowl (18-1)
Dave Tuley
Last season’s disappointment hasn’t scared Dave away. He believes Detroit is still one of the league’s elite teams—and now comes at a much better price.
🛡️ Nik Bonitto to Win Defensive Player of the Year (14-1)
Scott Seidenberg
Scott expects another leap from Denver’s emerging pass rusher and believes Bonitto has the sack upside to enter the Defensive Player of the Year race.
Those are just five of the dozens of futures, season win totals, player props and team previews you’ll find inside the 2026 VSiN NFL Betting Guide.

🌍 World Cup Betting Takeaways
Spain lifted the World Cup trophy, but it wasn’t easy. After dominating Argentina for nearly the entire match—including holding them without a shot for 90 minutes—Spain still needed extra time to secure a 1-0 victory.
I checked in with VSiN’s Alex Blowers after the final. Both Alex and Nigel Seeley had the right side, but neither cashed their preferred wagers because Spain couldn’t finish the job in regulation.
Alex wasn’t second-guessing his betting approach.
“No regrets on the betting front. If Türkiye played Australia and Paraguay tomorrow, I’d still back them on the moneyline.”
He was, however, still thinking about England’s heartbreaking semifinal loss.
“Missed opportunity to make the final, and with Kane at 32, I don’t know when we’ll get a better chance—or who replaces him long term.”

⛳ British Open: Lessons Learned
Did anyone have Ryan Fox at 150-1? Anyone? Bueller?
We published 169 British Open picks on the VSiN Pro golf picks page. Not one mentioned Fox, who was 500-1 after the second round before completing one of the most improbable major championship runs.
So what should bettors take away?
As Matt Brown reminded listeners after Sunday’s finish, golf betting is one of the most humbling games there is.
“It’s hard to pick one guy out of 156. You’re going to fail way more than you’re going to succeed.”
If you’ve ever wondered why bankroll management matters in golf betting, Sunday’s finish was Exhibit A.
