White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. He also closed the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks, returning more than $1,800 for $100 bettors.

White has crushed not only the NFL but also the XFL during its abbreviated 2020 season, going 16-4 on XFL ATS picks before the league suspended operations. Anyone who has followed him is way up.

White knows that Arlington has a proven coaching staff with continuity. Head coach Bob Stoops won one national championship and nine Big 12 titles in 18 seasons leading the Oklahoma Sooners. His staff includes Jonathan Hayes and Chuck Long, who both coached under Stoops at Oklahoma. On Saturday they will square off against a Vipers team coached by Rod Woodson, who will be making his head coaching debut.

White also knows that Vegas has a proven NFL-caliber receiver in Martavis Bryant. Now 31 years old, Bryant had 145 receptions for 2,183 yards and 17 touchdowns in four seasons with the Steelers and Raiders. He hasn't played in the NFL since the 2018 season, but in 2022 he had eight receptions for 93 yards and two touchdowns in four games with the Beasts of the Fan Controlled Football league.
