Due to his unapologetic nature and occasional mocking remarks, people tend to forget that Denny Hamlin is also a smart businessman who places his bets wisely. And it seems that his daughter Molly has inherited that particular trait.  Like last week, Molly made her picks for NFL games but recorded a 5:6 win-loss ratio. For week 13, she seems to have learned from her previous errors and Denny believes it will be a “bounce back” week for her.

Fans may not be Denny’s biggest supporters but they certainly were impressed with what his daughter had to say. Given that she was not choosing the favorites but “betting” against the spread, it seems very likely that she will return a net positive.

Much like last time, Molly was on fire while answering the rapid-fire questions from Denny Hamlin. She made several interesting picks but never once looked in doubt about any of them. Her confidence and poise while giving her verdict on each spread were commendable and that is something a lot of fans took note of.

In a recently posted reel on Instagram, the 43-year-old Cup Series driver read out the week’s NFL matches as her daughter confidently made her picks. “Colts,” she said when her father asked about the game between the Colts and the Titans. “Jets,” she answered when asked about Falcons vs Jets. Denny cleared at the end that her picks were against the spread, not necessarily for a win.

Last week, she chose the Panthers over the Titans. However, as that result did not come to pass, this time, Molly said, “Buccaneers,” when asked about Panthers vs Buccaneers. Even Denny Hamlin seemed impressed with her daughter learning from her previous mistakes. For the big game between the Chiefs and the Packers, she chose the Packers.
