SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
888Sport has launched the ‘NFL Fantasy Show’ to support its role as the official betting partner of the NFL in the UK and Ireland.
The new NFL season kicks off tonight with the LA Rams taking on the Buffalo Bills.
Hosted by Vernon Kay, The NFL Fantasy Show will track all developments of this season’s league, building up to Super Bowl LVII.
“Each week, a new pair of famous faces, including Sky Sports’ Neil Reynolds and former NFL player Christian Scotland-Williamson, will take on each other in a bid to progress in the league” – detailed an 888Sport show statement.
The show’s matchday insights and reviews will be presented by US-based Fantasy expert Adam Rank.
Celebrities signed up for the show include Reynolds’ Sky Sports colleague Emma Paton and talkSPORT’s Will Gavin.
888Sport celebrated the launch of the NFL Fantasy Show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which will host the NFL’s London match between New York Giants vs Green Bay Packers on 9 October.
Vernon Kay commented: “There’s no point competing if you don’t want the top prize. There’s a famous quote, ‘second is like losing’. Why do they give medals out in the Olympics for coming second or third? You didn’t win!
“You’ve got Neil Reynolds from Sky and Will Gavin from talkSPORT. Two gents who drink from the pool of NFL every morning when they wake up, so they are the two guys to watch and who I’m desperate to beat.”
