It all begins on Thursday.
With the NFL season kicking off this week, “Bear Bets” is wrapping up its preview episodes for the year. So far, the gang’s shared its favorite wagers on win totals, award winners and more.
This week, Chris “The Bear” Fallica and Geoff Schwartz were joined by Will Hill and John Murray of the SuperBook and Westgate to discuss who they like to win the AFC, NFC and the Super Bowl. They also shared their thoughts on the first coach fired market.
