Presidents Cup Thursday Fourball Picks and Predictions

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for all five Thursday Fourball matches for the Presidents Cup. Follow Doc on X @drmedia59 for more on the world of golf Introduction and OverviewIn the podcast's introduction, Will Doctor sets the stage by bringing his sharpest predictions for the PGA Tour event, the Presidents Cup (0:15–0:42). His energy and focus immediately engage listeners, promising a detailed breakdown of Thursday’s Fourball matches. The matchups feature top golfers from both the USA and international teams, with Doctor providing his take on the betting odds and insights.Match 1: Xander Schauffele & Tony Finau vs. Jason Day & Byung-hun Ahn (0:42–14:57)Doctor starts with the first match, where Schauffele and Finau are favorites at -180 on DraftKings. He questions U.S. captain Jim Furyk's decision to split Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, who have a strong history together, but he supports the flexibility of pairing Schauffele with Finau. Despite Finau’s driving accuracy issues earlier in the season, Doctor believes Finau has improved and will excel on the greens at Royal Montreal.For the opposition, Jason Day's recent struggles—finishing 33rd at the BMW Championship and failing to qualify for the Tour Championship—are highlighted. Doctor is not confident in Day's current form, pointing out his ongoing issues with driving accuracy. Ben Onn, too, has limited success in the Presidents Cup, which makes Doctor strongly favor Schauffele and Finau.Statistical Insight: Day has underperformed in the Presidents Cup, and his driving accuracy has been problematic in 7 of his last 11 events. Schauffele and Finau, on the other hand, are in good form with Finau showing late-season improvement.Prediction: Schauffele & Finau to win.Match 2: Collin Morikawa & Sahith Theegala vs. Adam Scott & Min Woo Lee (14:57–24:30)Morikawa and Theegala are slight favorites at -135. Doctor praises Theegala’s performance in the 2024 FedEx Cup and Morikawa’s solo second place at the Tour Championship. Morikawa’s consistency, with 8 top-ten finishes in 2024, makes him one of the top players in the world. Doctor, however, acknowledges Adam Scott’s determination to improve his Presidents Cup record, which currently stands at a disappointing 18-25-6.Statistical Insight: Despite Scott’s veteran status, his poor Presidents Cup record weighs heavily, while Morikawa’s consistent high-level play positions him as a key player. Theegala’s form in recent events further strengthens their chances.Prediction: Morikawa & Theegala to win.Match 3: Scottie Scheffler & Russell Henley vs. Sungjae Im & Tom Kim (24:30–32:00)Scheffler and Henley are -142 favorites. Doctor supports Furyk’s decision to pair Henley with Scheffler, noting Henley’s stellar driving accuracy (5th on the PGA Tour) and top performances in major events. On the other hand, Tom Kim's form is questioned, as his recent performances have been underwhelming, finishing 52nd in the FedEx Cup standings.Statistical Insight: Scheffler, ranked number one in the world, paired with Henley’s accuracy, makes them formidable. Conversely, Tom Kim’s struggles this season raise doubts about his ability to perform at Royal Montreal.Prediction: Scheffler & Henley to win.Match 4: Wyndham Clark & Keegan Bradley vs. Taylor Pendrith & Christiaan Bezuidenhout (32:00–38:30)Clark and Bradley are favored at -112. Doctor criticizes Mike Weir’s decision to pair Pendrith with Bezuidenhout, citing Bezuidenhout’s poor form in recent tournaments. He points to Bezuidenhout’s struggles with his driver and short game, which make the pairing less competitive against the sharp form of Clark and Bradley.Statistical Insight: Bezuidenhout’s loss of shots in four consecutive starts is a red flag. Clark and Bradley’s more consistent recent performances make them the stronger pairing.Prediction: Clark & Bradley to win. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

CFB Week 5 Preview + Best Bets !!

Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college football week 5 betting. Griffin and Ben are ready to cash some best bets this week. They cover this weeks biggest games and more.Opening Thoughts (0:06 - 0:31) Speaker 3 delivers a motivational message emphasizing teamwork and tenacity: "Outblock them, outtackle them, outhit them, outhustle them...Leave no doubt tonight." This quote sets the tone for the podcast, signaling a focus on outworking the opponent in both football and sports betting, where preparation and focus are key.Best Bets Review (0:52 - 2:40) Griffin Warner and Big East Ben recap their Week 4 bets, reflecting on losses like Maryland failing to cover against Villanova. They inject humor, with Warner making a light jab about AI: "Ben looks very intelligent today, and we’re going to bring you some intelligent picks." Big East Ben humorously criticizes Maryland for losing focus in the second half, referencing their past basketball glory led by Juan Dixon and Steve Blake. This serves as a reminder that discipline and consistency are crucial, both in sports and betting. Game 1: Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State (3:47 - 7:03) Kansas State is favored by five points against Oklahoma State, a game influenced by Kansas State’s performance in Provo, where BYU scored multiple touchdowns via special teams and defense. Ollie Gordon's struggles are highlighted as Ben points out that a player with Heisman potential has been disappointing: "He has been garbage. I don't know why... Some journalist tweeted out he had syphilis." Though debunked, this illustrates how rumors can swirl around underperforming players, impacting perception. Game 2: Louisville vs. Notre Dame (7:03 - 8:16) Notre Dame is a six-point favorite, facing a Louisville team led by a quarterback with 830 passing yards in three games. Ben anticipates a high-scoring game due to Louisville’s offensive firepower and recommends betting the over (46.5 points). Warner notes that Notre Dame's earlier loss to Northern Illinois was a “black mark,” yet he believes they will recover, laying the six points on Notre Dame. Game 3: Georgia vs. Alabama (8:55 - 10:43) Georgia is a 2.5-point favorite over Alabama in what’s described as a potential “game of the season.” Ben anticipates a tight contest between two elite quarterbacks and suggests betting the over, predicting a high-scoring game. Warner, however, picks Alabama as a home underdog: "It’s scary to be against Georgia, but... I think Alabama passes that test." Game 4: Illinois vs. Penn State (10:45 - 12:45) Illinois is an 18-point underdog against Penn State, a team coming off a bye. Despite this, Ben backs Illinois, referencing Penn State’s mediocre record against the spread in whiteout games: "Penn State is 8-7 historically... 4-2 under James Franklin." Warner agrees, suggesting the game could stay low-scoring and backing the under (47.5 points). Game 5: Arizona vs. Utah (12:45 - 15:23) Utah is favored by 11.5 points against Arizona. Ben is wary of Arizona’s poor form, specifically their loss to Kansas State, but believes they can stay within the number. Both Ben and Warner recommend betting the under (48.5 points), highlighting Utah’s defense and the challenges Arizona will face playing at high altitude. Best Bets and Conclusion (17:40 - 19:32) Ben’s Best Bet is Kansas State minus five, taking aim at Oklahoma State, a team he describes as "broken." He calls for the end of Mike Gundy’s reign: "Chop off that mullet Mike Gundy. You are done this year." Warner sticks with Alabama plus 2.5, pointing out that the new 12-team playoff format reduces the need for undefeated seasons, making road games more manageable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Presidents Cup Preview and Props

Will Doctor delivers the sharpest prop card for the 15th Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club (Blue Course).Stay tuned for Doc's Presidents Cup daily picks throughout the tournament. You can find him on X @drmedia59 In this episode of the Golf Preview Podcast, Will Docter provides an in-depth preview of the 2024 Presidents' Cup, offering analysis on team compositions, key players, and betting tips for the tournament at Royal Montreal.Overview (0:16 - 22:05)The Presidents' Cup is a biennial event where the U.S. competes against an international team (excluding Europe). The tournament features 30 matches over four days: five on Thursday and Friday, eight on Saturday, and twelve singles matches on Sunday. Historically, the U.S. has dominated the competition, winning every Cup since 2003. Docter doesn’t expect that to change this year due to the talent disparity between the teams.U.S. Team:The U.S. team is missing Bryson DeChambeau but remains strong with elite players like Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele, both boasting impressive Presidents’ Cup records. Schauffele, who has a 6-3-0 record in the Presidents' Cup, is one of Docter’s top picks for the tournament, especially given the course’s emphasis on accuracy. Tony Finau is another player Docter highlights, noting his solid ball-striking and improved putting.International Team:The international squad, led by Mike Weir, faces a significant challenge without LIV players like Cam Smith and Joaquin Niemann. Key returners include Sungjae Im, Si Woo Kim, and Hideki Matsuyama, but Docter questions whether they can carry the team. He also emphasizes the importance of Canada’s Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith performing well after their disappointing 0-4-0 records in 2022.LIV Golf Controversy:Docter criticizes the LIV Golf format, calling it a "joke" and blaming it for excluding top international talent from this year’s event. LIV players were not allowed to compete in the Presidents’ Cup, despite being eligible for other events like the Ryder Cup.Betting Insights:Docter provides several betting recommendations, starting with Team USA to win at -250. He offers three prop bets: Xander Schauffele to be the Top USA Point Scorer at +450, citing his flexibility in pairings and strong Presidents' Cup record. Tony Finau as the Top USA Captain’s Pick at +650, emphasizing his ball-striking and respectable team event history. Sahith Theegala to finish as the Top USA Rookie at +250, praising his recent form and energy, which will be crucial in a high-stakes team event. On the international side, Docter passes on many categories but backs Si Woo Kim as the Top International Captain’s Pick at +350. He notes Si Woo’s strong ball-striking, recent form, and history of excelling in team formats.Key Quotes and Stats: "The United States has won every Presidents' Cup since 2003, and I don’t think that changes this week." Docter establishes that the U.S. remains the heavy favorite, particularly with the absence of key international players. "Xander Schauffele has a 6-3-0 record in two Presidents' Cups." Schauffele’s experience and versatility make him a strong bet for top U.S. scorer, especially given the challenging setup of Royal Montreal. "Si Woo Kim’s ball-striking has been phenomenal over his last two events." Docter’s confidence in Si Woo stems from his recent finishes and history of delivering in big moments, making him a standout pick for top international captain's choice. Time Stamps: Introduction and overview (0:16 - 0:29) Presidents’ Cup format breakdown (0:39 - 22:05) Team analysis and key players (various segments within 0:39 - 22:05) LIV Golf controversy and implications (15:00 - 17:00) Betting recommendations (22:05 - 40:00) Learn more about your ad choices.

NFL Week 3 Recap & Look Ahead Preview

RJ Bell, Scott Seidenberg and Steve Fezzik talk NFL Week 3 recap and more.The Week 3 NFL recap dives into key team performances, player highlights, and betting strategies. The podcast, hosted by RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg, and Mackenzie Rivers, opens with a breakdown of Monday Night Football, highlighting the Buffalo Bills’ dominance over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Buffalo’s strong defense and offensive firepower stood out, while Jacksonville’s early-season struggles raised concerns.A key focus was the Cincinnati Bengals’ disappointing start. Fezzik and Bell discussed how the Bengals, with a soft schedule, have underperformed, leading to a downgrade in their power rating. Their upcoming game against Carolina will be critical for their season trajectory. Meanwhile, Washington earned praise for exceeding expectations, showing solid defensive play and warranting an upgrade in their power rating.Fezzik shared insights into betting on in-season win totals, explaining how calculating win shares based on the likelihood of winning each game helps bettors identify value. This strategy is particularly useful early in the season, when teams' strengths and weaknesses are still being revealed.The San Francisco 49ers were also a major topic of discussion, given their injury struggles. Despite losing key offensive players like Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers remain competitive. Fezzik and Bell agreed that the team should not be significantly downgraded, thanks to quarterback Brock Purdy’s solid performance.A broader conversation on the NFL’s growing trend of aggressive fourth-down calls sparked debate. Bell and Fezzik noted that while going for it on fourth down used to be innovative, defenses have now adjusted, and this strategy is less effective.Betting trends also emerged as a central theme. Fezzik highlighted the fact that teams exceeding the ATS margin by 50 or more points in the first three weeks often struggle to cover the spread in Week 4. This applies to both the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, two teams that have dominated early but face tougher competition ahead. Bettors should be cautious of inflated lines following such performances.The Los Angeles Rams earned credit for their gutsy comeback against the injury-depleted 49ers. McVay’s coaching prowess kept the Rams competitive despite numerous setbacks, warranting a slight power rating upgrade.On the other hand, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive struggles were dissected. Two consecutive weeks of being overpowered by strong rushing attacks from Alvin Kamara and Derrick Henry have led to a significant downgrade in their power rating. Bettors should be wary of trusting Dallas until they can shore up their run defense.As the discussion shifted to the Minnesota Vikings, the panel emphasized that their early success and dominance have inflated betting lines. While the Vikings have impressed through Week 3, history suggests they may struggle to cover the spread in Week 4, particularly against stronger opponents like the Green Bay Packers.In summary, Week 3 of the NFL season provided a mix of surprises and disappointments, with some teams like Buffalo and Washington outperforming expectations, while others like Cincinnati and Dallas are struggling. The panel shared key insights for bettors, stressing the importance of in-season win totals, ATS trends, and cautious evaluation of inflated lines. Looking ahead to Week 4, teams like Minnesota and Buffalo may face challenges, while Washington continues to rise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
