Of course. Its nuts that its taken this long. Its a revenue source that they hypocritically avoided, like NFL betting wasn't happening or something. And now they have a NFL team there (Vegas).

They've come a long ways. It wasn't that long ago that the NFL pretended that fantasy football wasn't a thing. Completely ignored it and were told to never mention it.

I always thought it was funny when they were anti gambling yet every pregame show is giving their Best Bets or Best Beats with the betting lines included...

Roger Goodell in 2015: "We've been very open about our position that we oppose legalized sports gambling. We haven't changed our position on that. I don't anticipate us changing that going forward at all."

Today, the NFL announced deals with Fox Bet, BetMGM, PointsBet & WynnBet.
