Vandy is a 33-point favorite to win, over a Division 1 school? Granted, it's Temple, but still!

This is the first time Vandy has been this big of a favorite since Vegas started keeping up with the data. I might put money on this game.

You need to let Helen stand on her own. She needs to spread her wings and fly. Like a bird. A glorious bird, who takes bets.

Helen would make a terrible bookie. She'd spend it all on Twizzlers. She really likes Twizzlers.
