DraftKings, which employs more Massachusetts residents than any other state, met or exceeded criteria for an untethered Category 3 sports betting license, according to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC).

You presented a very thorough application it was very content rich. For that, we are very appreciative. The fact that you re here in Boston, it’s a pleasure to see that, when we know that the legislature always cares about the economic engine of gaming, MGC Chair Cathy Judd-Stein said.

Jordan Love Is Second in NFL MVP Betting Handle, According to BetMGM

When NFL MVP odds opened for last season (2023-24), Jordan Love was a distant +4000 as he prepared to take over under center for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. He was largely an afterthought and many believed he wouldn t cut it as the Packers new starting QB.

Fast-forward a year and Love opened as short as +1200 , which was tied for fifth-best at opening, after he beat the Cowboys in the Wild Card Round of last year s playoffs, and nearly upset the 49ers as well.
