" (colby oberembt has been a sports fan for years, but he's noticed how he watches has changed with the rise of fantasy football. colby oberemb t, adel resident: "i was always a huge packers fan and that's all i cared about, and never watched any other games beside that, but now it's turned into all i want to watch are the guys that are playing for me." colby's not alone. monitoring multiple games and players is the norm now, with more than 75 million people expected to play fantasy this year. but in iowa, the latest fad...daily money leagues like on fanduel and draft kings...isn't allowed. in fact, no kind of online gambling is allowed in iowa. colby oberembt, adel resident: "i guess i don't understand why iowa won't allow it. it's kind of weird that so many other places do it. i mean, i realize it, there's ups and down. like with any other gambling, sometimes you're going to win and sometimes you're going to lose." keith miller has been studying sports law for more than a decade. he says iowa has closely followed that precedent for more than 80 years miller says there was a bill to legalize online sports gambling failed in the state legislature last year. and with larger states like nevada and new york deeming dail fantasy a form of gambling, he doesn't see iowa bucking any trends. keith miller, drake law professor: "what is more likely is that issues about sports betting are going to become more prominent nationally, and that if sports betting were to become legal, then probably daily fantasy sports leagues would as well." draftkings and fanduel maintain that daily fantasy is not a form of gambling, but is in fact, a matter of skill. it's why they're both suing new york's attorney general to get the sites back online in the state. with the line in the sand, miller says both sides will be watching new york with baited breath. keith miller, drake law professor: "if new york were to get a judicial affirmation that fantasy sports was illegal business, illegal gambling, that would be a very serious blow to the industry.")>> " jessica rae: history was made during yesterday's kansas city chiefs... denver broncos game. quarterback peyton manning became the n-f-l's all time leading passer after throwing a four yard pass early in the game.
