    Paolini of Italy opens her campaign at the 2025 Qatar Open against Caroline Garcia of France on Tuesday. Paolini is set to play her first match since crashing out in the third round of the 2025 Australian Open. The Italian, who played in two Grand Slam finals last year, joins the hostilities in Doha as one of the favorites to win the first WTA 1000 event of the year. Paolini has been drawn into section 3 of bracket, where big hitters Zheng Qinwen, Ons Jabeur and Jalena Ostapenko are also assigned. Garcia, meanwhile, arranged a date with Paolini after defeating Yuan Yue 6-1, 7-6 (5). The French banked on her serves to dictate the tempo of the match, collecting 32 points off her first serves and 18 points off the second while allowing her Chinese foe to break just once.



    Caroline Garcia vs Jasmine Paolini Picks & Prediction

    In an exciting match-up between two talented tennis players, Caroline Garcia will face off against Jasmine Paolini in an upcoming tournament. Garcia, a French player known for her powerful groundstrokes and aggressive style of play, will be looking to continue her strong form on the courts. Paolini, an Italian player with a crafty game and excellent court coverage, will be looking to cause an upset and advance in the tournament.

    In terms of predictions, Garcia is the clear favorite in this match-up. With her experience on the tour and ability to dictate play with her powerful shots, she should be able to overpower Paolini and secure the win. However, Paolini should not be underestimated, as she has the ability to keep points alive and frustrate her opponents with her defensive skills.

    Overall, I predict that Garcia will come out on top in this match, likely in straight sets. However, Paolini is a tough competitor and could push Garcia to her limits. It should be an exciting match to watch for tennis fans.

  • Jazz vs Clippers Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game


    With the Los Angeles Clippers defense not looking stellar as of late, the Utah Jazz hope to muster up some energy in a back-to-back through the life of standout rookie Isaiah Collier to get back on track after a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns.

    The Utah Jazz lost a heartbreaker in overtime to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, and now this shorthanded team will have to turn around and face the Los Angeles Clippers just 24 hours later.

    While they may come into this one with tired legs, I’ll explain in my Jazz vs. Clippers predictions why the Jazz are to be believed on the offensive end and should maintain a high level against a slumping Los Angeles defense.

    Let’s dig into some NBA player props and hand out some NBA picks on Saturday, February 8.

    Jazz vs Clippers prediction

    My best bet
    Jazz +16.5 (-110 at bet365)

    My analysis
    Utah Jazz’s defense continues to look suspect, but their offense has turned into a fine-tuned machine with rookie Isaiah Collier beginning to blossom in a larger role. He’s now scored 15 or more in back-to-back games, adding 10 assists in each of his last three, as the team deals with injuries to both Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton in the backcourt.

    We’re not yet sure if we’ll see Clarkson in this one, but as Sexton continues to sit Collier’s impact should remain sizable. His ability to get the ball in low has worked wonders for a team which has ranked inside the top 11 in scoring at the rim and the short mid-range over the last two weeks, and as the Los Angeles Clippers counter with the sixth-worst rim defense over that span there’s a fair chance this team continues to score the ball even on no rest.

    On the flip side, Utah’s weak interior defense shouldn’t be a massive liability here against a Clippers team which is just 15th in shooting accuracy at the rim and 23rd in the short mid-range in the last two weeks. Its top-10 3-point defense over that same span should remain strong with Clarkson – a defensive liability – sitting this one out, and the Clippers’ middling performance outside should only help matters.

    Los Angeles does like to shoot inside, but it has struggled to get much done as of late, and with Walker Kessler now playing more minutes at center in wake of injuries to the frontcourt and the trade of Drew Eubanks, there’s a reasonable expectation that this defense can hold firm enough to allow this offense to continue cooking.

    Jazz vs Clippers same-game parlay

    bet365 Logo

    Jazz +16.5

    Isaiah Collier Over 18.5 points and assists

    Norman Powell Over 22.5 points

    We’ll kick things off with Isaiah Collier, who has seen a huge bump in Usage Rate lately and should devastate both as a scorer and distributor. Los Angeles has been weak defensively at the rim, and Collier has ranked right around the top 20% of all guards in shooting frequency in close. As he looks to feed this long frontcourt, too, he should once again flirt with a double-double against a Clippers team ranked just outside the top 10 in assists allowed per 100 possessions in the last two weeks.

    Speaking of which, Norman Powell has been a machine over that span. He’s averaged 25.3 points in six games, and most notably has taken a whopping 17 shots per contest. The veteran is sitting pretty here as a guard who has taken – and made – a good deal of shots at the rim and in the short-mid range, going up against a frontcourt defense which has been brutal of late by the numbers and is still very thin without several players.

    The Jazz currently sit at the top of the Western Conference with an impressive record of 38-11. They have been on a hot streak lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games.

    On the other hand, the Clippers are not far behind, sitting in the third spot in the Western Conference with a record of 34-18. Led by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers have been playing solid basketball and are coming off a big win against the Philadelphia 76ers.

  • Beats’ picks: Will No. 2 Duke go to Littlejohn Coliseum and defeat Clemson?


    No. 2 Duke will look for its 17th straight win on the road against a Clemson team tied for second in the ACC. Our beats predict what will happen in the marquee matchup: 

    Ranjan Jindal: Duke 73-70

    I have been going back and forth on this pick all week because playing on the road in the ACC against such a veteran and well-coached team will be very difficult for Duke. I believe Tiger head coach Brad Brownell will have his roster ready after the loss against Georgia Tech. Player wise, I think Clemson needs center Viktor Lakhin to stay out of foul trouble, but someone to keep an eye on is Chauncey Wiggins, a 6-foot-10 40% 3-point shooter who can rise above anyone. I am watching two stats this game; Duke’s offensive rebounding percentage and Clemson’s 3-point percentage, because the Tigers struggle on the defensive glass but have shot the ball well all season (outside of the Tuesday night loss). The difference for me is Maliq Brown’s presence, and I think Duke’s defense can travel on the road. I see the Blue Devils getting out of Littlejohn Coliseum with a tight victory. 

    Dom Fenoglio: Duke 75-71

    This is a tricky one for the Blue Devils, who will play without a significant size advantage for the first time in ACC competition. Ian Schieffelin, Wiggins and Lakhin all stand at least 6-foot-8, creating an imposing trio with options against Cooper Flagg. However, Clemson does not have an abundance of help behind them in the frontcourt, so I see Flagg and Kon Knueppel attacking the basket to generate fouls. In the backcourt, the Tigers’ chances will come down to the performance of likely All-ACC guard Chase Hunter. While I can see him having a big day on offense, I have a hard time imagining him stopping Sion James or Tyrese Proctor. In the end, I expect Duke to wear Clemson down in a physical battle that ends just slightly in the visitors’ favor.

    Sophie Levenson: Duke 72-69

    Clemson is going to be the tallest hurdle Duke has faced in conference play all season. I can very well see a reenactment of last year’s tension-filled matchup, where the Tigers kept even with the Blue Devils and only lost on last-second foul call. On top of the fact that Clemson looks so good this year, the hosts have a chip on their shoulders. Two of the reasons they look so good: Schieffelin and Hunter leading the group in their senior and graduate years, respectively. If there’s any singular advantage that the Tigers have over Duke, it’s these two. Hunter and Schieffelin have been running Clemson basketball for years; short of Proctor, the Blue Devils don’t have that level of continuity.

    Abby DiSalvo: Duke 73-68

    The Blue Devils’ win streak has to end eventually, but I just don’t see the Tigers pulling off this particular upset. It comes down to an apples-and-oranges battle of shooting and rebounds. Clemson boasts a couple weapons on the perimeter — including Wiggins, Hunter and Jake Heidbreder — whose 3-point prowess could force Duke into a tight game. The Tigers, however, have struggled when it comes to boards. They recently found themselves outrebounded 56-46 in a triple-overtime loss to Georgia Tech, and Duke’s proven ability to crash the boards could offer a big advantage in terms of possessions. Combined with a solid scoring defense, which the Blue Devils have already demonstrated, I think Duke takes the victory in an albeit tough road tilt.

    Rodrigo Amare: Duke 75-66

    The Tigers are arguably the best team Duke will face in conference play, and Littlejohn Coliseum may be the toughest road environment for the Blue Devils all season. Yet, even in a rowdy home environment, I don’t think Clemson is talented enough across the board to down this Duke squad. In theory, the emergence of Hunter as a legitimate ACC superstar should concern the Blue Devil faithful, but Duke has done a tremendous job stiffening talented backcourt players throughout this season. All-Americans Caleb Love and RJ Davis scored just eight and 12 points in losses to the Blue Devils. I expect Hunter to face similar difficulties against Duke’s elite defense, and the Tigers’ chances of an upset to come tumbling down with him. 

    Caleb Dudley: Duke 68-61

    In my eyes, this is the toughest game Duke has played in 2025. Clemson is a top-tier ACC team, and the Blue Devils have to travel to its gym for a primetime matchup. However, I see two major factors working to Duke’s advantage. The Tigers should be more fatigued emotionally and physically than the away unit after a triple-overtime letdown against Georgia Tech, while the Blue Devils cruised to a road win at Syracuse. Duke also sports a major size advantage and should be able to draw a sizable number of fouls, the exact issue that cost Clemson in the loss to the Yellow Jackets. Does head coach Jon Scheyer play more of the two-big lineups to try and exploit this? Hunter will likely have a big game as his stock continues to rise, but I don’t think it will be enough as the win streak expands to 17. 

    Andrew Long: Duke 80-68

    It feels wrong to pick Duke yet again — it’s an instinct from past years with worse Blue Devil teams and stronger ACC foes — but I can’t in good faith bet on anyone to beat them. The most encouraging sign from the midweek win at Syracuse is Duke’s ability to spread scoring across the rotation when Flagg isn’t hitting his shots, something I’d expect Brownell to try and replicate. With Brown in peak defensive form, Knueppel and Proctor improving their 3-point arms and Maluach cementing his spot as a lethal lob threat, this Blue Devil group has so many ways to score. I don’t foresee a sufficient Clemson game plan to stop it; I expect a tough outing at Littlejohn Coliseum, but one that never threatens to reach upset territory.

    Rachael Kaplan: Clemson 77-74

    Maybe I just have too much misplaced faith in the ACC that someone will be good enough to catch Duke on an off night and actually pull off the win, or maybe I think the Blue Devils’ undefeated conference record is a little too perfect to be true. This seems like the only game that might topple Goliath. Especially coming off that devastating triple-overtime loss, the Tigers will be on their A-game. Schieffelin, though only 6-foot-8, has been an incredibly efficient big man, ranking second in the ACC in rebounds. Hunter is as big a threat as anyone on the perimeter. He has had a subpar last two shooting games, going 4-for-15 from downtown, so he is bound to rebound. The Tigers are on their home turf, and have the talent and experience to upset Duke.

    As we head into another exciting week of college basketball, all eyes are on the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils as they prepare to take on the Clemson Tigers at Littlejohn Coliseum. Duke has been on a tear this season, boasting an impressive record and showcasing their talent on the court.

    But the question remains: can they continue their winning streak against a tough Clemson team on the road? In my opinion, the answer is yes. Duke has proven time and time again that they have what it takes to come out on top in challenging matchups, and I believe they will do just that against Clemson.

    With a roster stacked with talent and a legendary coach in Mike Krzyzewski leading the way, Duke is a force to be reckoned with. They have the skill, the experience, and the determination to come out victorious in this game.

    So, mark my words: Duke will go into Littlejohn Coliseum and come out with a hard-fought victory over Clemson. Be sure to tune in and watch as the Blue Devils continue their dominance on the court. #GoDuke

  • Fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Friday


    • Eric MoodyFeb 7, 2025, 01:23 PM ET

      Close

      • Fantasy football, basketball and sports betting writer for ESPN
      • Former manager at a Fortune 100 financial services company

    There are seven games on Friday’s slate following a chaotic trade deadline, including the Philadelphia 76ers taking on the Detroit Pistons at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. The 76ers, currently 11th in the Eastern Conference and the Pistons, currently seventh, will face off for the third and final time this season, with the series tied 1-1. Joel Embiid was dominant in his last game out and should have an advantage on Friday night. Here are the fantasy streamers and bets to look out for tonight.

    Friday’s fantasy stream team

    Vit Krejci, PG, Atlanta Hawks (available in 98.6% of ESPN leagues) Krejci is a solid streaming option in deeper formats after the Hawks traded De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic at the deadline. With new additions Terance Mann and Bones Hyland unlikely to play, Krejci should help fill the void against the Bucks. He has averaged 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists per 40 minutes this season.

    Nikola Jovic, PF, Miami Heat (84.1%) Jovic has taken on an expanded role for the Heat recently, and that should continue for the remainder of the season now that Jimmy Butler is a Warrior. Jovic has scored 29 or more fantasy points in five of his past six games, including two games with 45 or more. He has averaged 34.1 minutes per game over that stretch and is a reliable source of points, rebounds, and assists. He should find success against a Nets defense that has struggled this season.

    Onyeka Okongwu, C, Atlanta Hawks (52.4%) Okongwu became a starter on Jan. 20 and has been excellent ever since. He has recorded 28 or more fantasy points in five straight games. Okongwu contributes across nearly every statistical category, making him a strong streaming option for Friday night.

    Moody’s favorite bets for Friday

    Scottie Barnes under 20.5 points (-115) The Thunder are nearly 19.5-point favorites, making blowout potential high. They lead the league in defensive rating and allow the second-fewest points to power forwards. Chet Holmgren’s return, even in limited minutes, will make scoring tougher for Barnes, who had just 12 points in a 37-point loss to OKC in December.

    Joel Embiid over 43.5 points, rebounds and assists (-105) Embiid should be well-rested for Friday night’s game after sitting out against the Heat on Wednesday. He has hit this line in six of his past 10 games and three of his past four when coming off a day’s rest this season. He has also had success against the Pistons, surpassing this line in four straight matchups. With a narrow 4.5-point spread, this game projects to be competitive.

    De’Aaron Fox over 7.5 assists (+105) Fox had 19 potential assists and finished with 13 assists in his Spurs debut against the Hawks on Wednesday. Fox fits well in San Antonio’s offensive system. The Spurs love to run in transition, play at a fast pace and create spot-up opportunities, which plays to his strengths. He also has a great matchup against a Charlotte Hornets defense that has struggled against point guards, giving up a high number of assists over the last month. This is a strong spot for Fox.

  • Chris Berman picks the winner of Super Bowl 2025


    • Chris BermanFeb 7, 2025, 06:50 AM ET

      Close

        Since October 1979, ESPN’s Chris Berman has become one of America’s most respected, popular and beloved sportscasters of his era. A six-time National Sportscaster of the Year, Berman’s shows have won eight Emmy Awards and 12 CableACEs.

    Chris Berman is back to make his pick for Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

    Berman has picked the winner in five of the past six years, and in each of the past three Super Bowls, he has correctly picked the winner AND the exact margin of victory.

    Odds courtesy of ESPN BET.

    Kansas City Chiefs (-1, 48.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles
    Sunday, Feb. 9, 6:30 p.m. ET, Caesars Superdome, New Orleans

    Fifty-nine Super Bowls! Plenty of history. This game, however, might have a richer history going into it than most.

    As most of you know, the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to be the first team to win three straight Lombardi Trophies in the Super Bowl era. What you might not know is that since they started playing NFL championship games in 1933, only one team — Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers — has won three straight championships (1965 to 1967).

    When it came time for the Pack to win three straight Super Bowls, however, they fell short. As did the Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers (twice), San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and New England Patriots. Give the Chiefs plenty of credit already. They are the only ones trying to three-peat that made it back to the Super Bowl.

    Here’s the Philadelphia Eagles‘ side of history. Saquon Barkley is the ninth player to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season. Of the other eight players to do so, only Terrell Davis of the Broncos in 1998 reached the Super Bowl in that season.

    This truly is a “Super” Super Bowl. The Chiefs have lost only one real game since Christmas Day in 2023. After all, they sat most of their starters in the Week 18 loss to the Broncos.

    Some question how they won this season. They pulled out victories by a toenail against Baltimore, a blocked field goal at the end of the game against Denver, a Raiders fumble in the final seconds and a doink on a game-winning field goal attempt facing the Chargers, just to name some. However, when you’ve won 17 straight one-score games, most recently the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, those questions should have stopped long ago. It’s not an accident.

    Not to be outdone, the Eagles have only one loss since the start of October. Head coach Nick Sirianni has said several times, “We don’t care how we win.” Again, wins aren’t always associated with style points. The bottom line is the two teams with the fewest question marks on their roster made it to the Super Bowl and, looking back, that’s no surprise. One other interesting note: These teams won the first two games of the season — the Chiefs in the Thursday night opener and the Eagles on Friday night in Brazil — and now they’re playing in the last one.

    Two years ago, they played in a fabulous Super Bowl LVII in Arizona, a game I called “The Roaster in the Toaster” (I call the Cardinals’ home stadium “The Big Toaster”). Kansas City won 38-35 in the final seconds, naturally by one score. I don’t think this game will be quite as high-scoring. However, I expect both teams to score in the neighborhood of the upper 20s.

    What can we take from that game two years later? For the Eagles, obviously Barkley is now the running back. The offensive line has undergone a couple of changes — Jason Kelce now works for ESPN — but they are still outstanding. The tush push is alive and well. Interestingly, the Eagles have changed both coordinators twice since then, with Kellen Moore calling the offense and Vic Fangio calling the defense. A quick look back at that Super Bowl shows that QB Jalen Hurts, who played brilliantly that day, hit DeVonta Smith seven times and connected with A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert six times each. They’re all still there. General manager Howie Roseman deserves huge kudos for making a strong defense even stronger, and younger. His first-round picks from 2023, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith Jr., have excelled up front, and the top two picks last year, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, have stood out in the defensive backfield. He also traded for Zack Baun, adding him to an already top-notch unit. The result: The Eagles are plus-10 in turnover differential in their three playoff wins alone.

    On the other sideline, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have already written their names into NFL lore as one of the great coach/QB duos of all time. So, too, has TE Travis Kelce, who had six receptions and a touchdown in Super Bowl LVII. Kelce caught 97 passes during the 2024 regular season, an “off” year for him. In the receiving department, aside from Kelce, the Chiefs have taken an “everybody eats” approach, mainly because of injuries as far back as the summer, forcing Reid and Mahomes to ad-lib quite a bit. The Chiefs now are as healthy as they have been all season, which means Hollywood Brown is back at wide receiver and Isiah Pacheco is back at running back (even though Kareem Hunt might get more carries in this game). The biggest change has been on the O-line, where Pro Bowl guard Joe Thuney has been playing left tackle down the stretch out of necessity. Clearly, that has gone just fine.

    Last season, the Chiefs won the Super Bowl on the strength of Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. This season has followed a similar formula, as Chris Jones, Nick Bolton and Trent McDuffie give K.C. a stalwart at every level. True shutdown corner L’Jarius Sneed went to Tennessee in the offseason, but Spagnuolo’s timely blitzes have once again worked wonders. That was apparent in the final minutes of the AFC Championship Game against the Bills when McDuffie’s blitz altered Josh Allen‘s fourth-down throw, just as a similar McDuffie blitz in the final minutes of regulation in last year’s Super Bowl affected Brock Purdy‘s third-down pass.

    So … who wins on Sunday? The biggest matchup I’ll be watching is what the Chiefs’ defense will do to keep Barkley from another standout performance. Remember, he ran for 205 yards against the Rams and over 100 in the Eagles’ other two playoff wins. This is so intriguing because we haven’t seen a season for running backs like we saw with Barkley and Derrick Henry in about a decade, when Adrian Peterson was running this strong for the Minnesota Vikings. I’m sure Spags didn’t forget how to defend great running backs, it’s just that we haven’t seen this for a while, especially in the Super Bowl. For the Eagles, if Barkley runs for, let’s just say 115 yards, will that be enough to spring everything else?

    Then there’s the ball carrier whom very few people talk about, but one who continues to confound opposing defensive coordinators. His name is Patrick Mahomes. I call him the “electric eel,” because he will slither for a key third-down run in the biggest moments of the game. His arm and his ability to find Kelce, or the right receiver at the right time, remain something to behold. I’ve wondered all season whether the Chiefs could carry their quest for three straight Super Bowl titles from start to finish. If so, understand that we might never see this again. I’m a sucker for history — I majored in it at Brown — and I certainly don’t mind seeing it every now and then.

    Kansas City 27, Philadelphia 24

    P.S. Maybe I’m also a softie for a three-peat, which somehow I’ve done in this column. If the Swami can do it, I figured the Chiefs can, too.



    In a surprising turn of events, legendary sports broadcaster Chris Berman has made his prediction for the winner of Super Bowl 2025. Known for his colorful commentary and bold predictions, Berman has selected the Los Angeles Rams as the team that will come out on top in the big game.

    Berman cited the Rams’ strong roster, led by star quarterback Matthew Stafford and dominant defense, as the key factors in his decision. Despite facing tough competition from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers, Berman believes that the Rams have what it takes to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season.

    As fans eagerly await the Super Bowl showdown in 2025, Berman’s prediction is sure to add some extra excitement to the mix. Will his pick prove to be accurate, or will another team emerge as the victor? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – all eyes will be on the Rams as they strive for Super Bowl glory.

  • 2025 WM Phoenix Open picks, odds, field: Surprising predictions by golf model that’s nailed 13 majors


    Scottie Scheffler has had tremendous success at the WM Phoenix Open in recent years. The No. 1 ranked player in the world recorded his first career PGA Tour victory at this event in 2022 and also finished on top of the leaderboard in 2023. Scheffler, who’s coming off a T-9 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, will headline the 2025 WM Phoenix Open field, which also features major champions like Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Hideki Matsuyama. The 2025 WM Phoenix Open first-round tee times at TPC Scottsdale begin on Thursday at 9:20 a.m. ET. 

    According to the latest 2025 WM Phoenix Open odds, Scheffler is the 3-1 favorite (risk $100 to win $300) to finish on top of the leaderboard. He’s followed by Thomas (11-1), Matsuyama (16-1) and Sungjae Im (20-1) on the PGA odds board. Defending champion Nick Taylor tied the course record (60) in the first round last season and is +6000 (risk $100 to win $6,000) to be the leader after Round 1. Rickie Fowler won this event in 2019 and is +450 (risk $100 to win $450) to finish inside the top 10. Before locking in your 2025 WM Phoenix Open picks, be sure to see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

    SportsLine’s proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June 2020. In fact, the model is up nearly $9,500 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

    This same model has also nailed a whopping 13 majors entering the weekend, including the 2024 Masters — its third Masters in a row — and last year’s PGA Championship and U.S. Open. Anyone who has followed its sports betting picks could have seen massive returns on betting apps like FanDuel, DraftKings and Fanatics. 

    Now that the 2025 WM Phoenix Open field is locked in, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

    2025 WM Phoenix Open predictions 

    One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open: Matsuyama, a two-time winner of this event and one of the top favorites, fails to finish on top of the leaderboard and barely cracks the top five. Matsuyama won this event in 2016 and 2017 and has already recorded a victory on the PGA Tour this season at The Sentry in January. 

    However, Matsuyama has finished T-32 or worse in his last two starts on tour and hasn’t cracked the top 20 at TPC Scottsdale since 2022. He also enters this week’s event ranked 102nd in greens in regulation percentage (68.75%) and 133rd in driving accuracy (56.14%), which doesn’t bode well at a course like TPC Scottsdale. He’s not a strong pick to win it all and there are far better values in the 2025 WM Phoenix Open field. See who else to fade here.  

    Another surprise: Sepp Straka, a 45-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

    Straka secured a victory at The American Express earlier this year and is coming off a T-7 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The 31-year-old is one of the best ball-strikers on tour, ranking fifth in greens in regulation percentage (78.13%) and 12th in strokes gained: approach to green (1.075). He also ranks third in birdie average (6.00), fourth in scoring average (67.31) and fifth in driving accuracy (75.88%). Those impressive stats, plus his long odds, make him a strong value pick for your 2025 WM Phoenix Open bets. See who else to pick here. 

    How to make 2025 WM Phoenix Open picks

    The model is also targeting four other golfers with odds of 45-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.

    The 2025 WM Phoenix Open is just around the corner and golf fans are buzzing with excitement. With a stacked field of talented players set to compete, the competition is sure to be fierce. But who will come out on top?

    According to a golf model that has accurately predicted the winners of 13 majors, there are some surprising picks for this year’s tournament. The model takes into account a variety of factors, including player performance, course conditions, and recent form.

    One of the top picks according to the model is young phenom, Jordan Spieth. Despite a recent slump in form, the model predicts that Spieth will bounce back and claim victory at the WM Phoenix Open. Another surprising pick is veteran golfer Phil Mickelson, who the model believes has a strong chance of adding another title to his impressive resume.

    Other notable picks include Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and Brooks Koepka, who are all expected to be strong contenders at the tournament.

    Of course, golf is a notoriously unpredictable sport, so anything can happen once the players tee off. But if this model’s track record is anything to go by, these picks could be worth keeping an eye on. Who do you think will come out on top at the 2025 WM Phoenix Open? Let us know in the comments below.

    My Nebraska vs Oregon College Basketball Betting Preview

    Nebraska bounced back in a big way on Thursday, taking down Illinois in overtime. The Illini were shorthanded, but it was a much-needed win to snap a six-game losing streak.

    That said, I don’t trust the Huskers on the road, given they rank 218th nationally in Haslametrics’ away-from-home metric. And this could be a good letdown spot as they travel to the Pacific Northwest following a massive upset win.

    Meanwhile, this is a huge bounce-back opportunity for Oregon, as the Ducks are returning home after dropping both legs of their two-game road trip this past week (Minnesota and UCLA).

    The situational spot screams Ducks.

    The schematic matchup is a little more fuzzy. Oregon loves to work through Nate Bittle in the post, and Nebraska’s compact defense denies the post at one of the nation’s highest rates.

    However, the Ducks are no strangers to working inside-out, as they have a bevy of elite shooting guards and wings.

    Meanwhile, the Cornhuskers’ compact scheme will allow plenty of open triples, and they’re a horrific pick-and-pop defense, which will allow Bittle those opportunities.

    On the other end of the court, Nebraska’s dribble handoff offense could earn some shots against Dana Altman’s amoeba zone defense.

    However, the Ducks are also elite in catch-and-shoot denial, which is important against the Huskers, who struggle when Brice Williams isn’t making shots.

  • Vegas Golden Knights at New York Rangers odds, picks and predictions


    The Vegas Golden Knights (31-15-6) visit the New York Rangers (24-23-4) Sunday with puck drop from Madison Square Garden set for 6 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NHL odds around the Golden Knights vs. Rangers odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

    Season series: Rangers lead 1-0 with a 2-1 road victory on Jan. 11

    Vegas has lost 3 of its last 4 games, including a 2-1 overtime loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday as a heavy (-285) home favorite as the Under (6.5) hit. G Ilya Samsonov did his part, stopping 22 of 24 shots, but the offense couldn’t find much. C Tomas Hertl scored the only goal for VGK.

    The Rangers are also in a rough patch, dropping 3 straight games, including a 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday as -136 road favorites as the Over (6) hit. C J.T. Miller tried to keep New York in it with 2 goals, but they couldn’t slow down RW David Pastrnak, who lit them up with a hat trick and an assist.

    Golden Knights at Rangers odds

    • Moneyline (ML): Golden Knights -135 (bet $135 to win $100) | Rangers +115 (bet $100 to win $115)
    • Puck line (PL)/Against the spread (ATS): Golden Knights -1.5 (+180) | Rangers +1.5 (-220)
    • Over/Under (O/U): 6.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

    Golden Knights at Rangers projected goalies

    Adin Hill (19-9-4, 2.65 GAA, .901 SV%, 2 SO) vs. Jonathan Quick (6-5-2, 3.11 GAA, .897 SV%, 2 SO)

    Hill is 1-2-2 in his last 5 starts, with his latest being a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars, giving up 4 goals on 28 shots. He last faced the Rangers on Jan. 26, 2024, and earned the win after stopping 36 of 38 shots.

    Quick had a tough January, starting 4 games with a 1-1-2 record, a 4.19 GAA, and .876 SV%. He hasn’t faced the Golden Knights since 2022, when he allowed 4 goals on 51 shots in a loss as a member of the LA Kings.

    Golden Knights at Rangers picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Golden Knights 4, Rangers 3

    Moneyline

    BET GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-125).

    While both teams are struggling, I really like Vegas at these odds, even on the road. The Rangers haven’t been great at home (12-11-2), and with backup Quick expected to be in goal, it’s a good spot for Vegas. Hill is a big upgrade over Quick, with G Igor Shesterkin getting a rest after a tough loss to the Bruins.

    Vegas has been solid all year, sitting in the top 10 for both goals scored and goals allowed. They also have the rest advantage, having not played since Thursday while the Rangers are on the second half of a back-to-back. Vegas is the better team, and with the odds in their favor, I’m all over them on the road.

    Puck line/Against the spread

    PASS.

    I do not want to play around with the puck line because both teams are not in their best form. I’ll keep my bet to the moneyline.

    Over/Under

    I would lean toward the Over here, mainly because both teams have been playing poorly of late, and with Quick in net, it’s hard to feel confident. There aren’t any strong trends either way. The O/U is 2-2-2 in their last 6 meetings, and both teams are around .500 in their last 10 games (Vegas 5-4-1, Rangers 5-5). It’s a tough call, so I just say AVOID from this one.

    The Vegas Golden Knights will be facing off against the New York Rangers in what is sure to be an exciting matchup. Both teams have been playing well this season, but only one can come out on top. Here are the odds, picks, and predictions for this game:

    Odds:
    – Vegas Golden Knights: -130
    – New York Rangers: +110

    Picks:
    – The Vegas Golden Knights have been on a hot streak lately, winning their last few games. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, and they have one of the best goaltenders in the league in Marc-Andre Fleury. I predict that they will come out on top in this game.

    Predictions:
    – The Vegas Golden Knights will win this game by a score of 4-2. Their offense will be too much for the Rangers to handle, and Fleury will make some key saves to secure the victory.
