With Saints +3.5 getting home despite New Orleans’ 17-16 loss at the Tampa Bay Bucs on Monday night, Socrates Cherry III from Aliante Casino has won the third-quarter mini-contest of Bookies Battle 2022. The Saints pick marked Socrates’ 39th winner from NFL Weeks 10-13, one better than Michael Smoller (Wildfire Boulder Casino), who needed a Bucs cover to claim the quarter’s prize.
Socrates earns $500 with the mini-contest victory and has also punched his ticket to the playoff portion of the contest, where there’s another $2,000 at stake. The top 10 contestants in the final regular-season standings, plus the four mini-contest winners, will compete during the NFL playoffs.
The season-long Bookies Battle standings see second-quarter winner Kyle Wainscott (Rivers Casino Des Plaines) leading the way for the $3,000 top prize with 112 winners. Craig Steppach (Gold Strike) is second with 111 correct calls, before a gap of four games to first-quarter winner Casey Degnon (Westgate Las Vegas), and then Robert Kowalski (Baldini’s Casino) five games back.
