    Are you ready for some exciting Big 12 football action? The TCU Horned Frogs are set to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders in what is sure to be a thrilling matchup.

    The odds for this game are currently in favor of TCU, with the Horned Frogs being listed as the favorites. However, Texas Tech will have the home-field advantage and will be looking to pull off an upset.

    When it comes to picks and predictions, it’s always a tough call in college football. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance this season, but have also had their fair share of struggles.

    TCU boasts a strong defense and a potent offense led by quarterback Max Duggan. On the other hand, Texas Tech has a high-powered passing attack and will look to exploit any weaknesses in the Horned Frogs’ defense.

    Ultimately, this game could come down to which team can make the most plays and limit mistakes. While TCU may have the edge on paper, Texas Tech has shown they can compete with top teams in the conference.

    In the end, I’m predicting a close game with TCU coming out on top. The Horned Frogs’ defense will be the difference-maker in this matchup, as they will be able to contain Texas Tech’s passing attack and make enough plays to secure the win.

    But as we all know, anything can happen in college football. So sit back, relax, and enjoy what is sure to be an exciting game between these two Big 12 rivals.

  • Virginia Tech at Florida State


    Virginia Tech is back in action on Wednesday night down in Tallahassee with Florida State hosting this ACC matchup. The Hokies (8-12, 3-6) and the Seminoles (13-7, 4-5) will both be attempting to turn their losing streaks around and change their fortunes from the latest stretch of games. Virginia Tech comes in having lost their last three games while Florida State comes in having dropped both in the California tour of their ACC schedule. The Seminoles open as 10.5-point favorites for the game televised on the ACC Network.

    Florida State has always run deep lineups under head coach Leonard Hamilton and this season is no different. The part where is starts to become more abnormal is the rebounding totals but even that isn’t as bad as it might initially appears. The Seminoles still play the fast-paced offense that loves to get out in transition because of their efficiency at forcing turnovers. There are two true offensive stars on the roster but because of the depth and amount of players rotating in there are plenty who can step up to make a statistical impact on offense. 

    Jamir Watkins is the clear focus and the power forward is a matchup problem. Watkins can shoot it from the perimeter but is the most dangerous putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basket. Jamir does a good job of drawing fouls and getting to the line with his foul shooting another plus attribute. Watkins is a very good defenders who does well getting into the passing lane but his aggressiveness can be used against him as foul trouble can be an issue. Jamir started his career at VCU and will have familiarity with assistant coach JD Byers and Hokies forward Tobi Lawal. 

    Malique Ewin is Watkins partner in the post and the two pair to make one of the best frontcourts in the conference. Ewin is a double double machine that is consistency personified. Malique started the season with a poor performance in the first game but since then has scored in single digits just once while currently on a run of 10+ rebounds in 5 of the last 6 games. Ewin is more of the bruiser while Watkins uses more athleticism but the pair are hard to stop no matter how you look at it. 

    Daquan Davis, Chandler Jackson, and Justin Thomas are the three primary players listed as guards for the Seminoles. Davis is a point guard who hasn’t shown the ability to be an elite playmaker quite yet but the true freshman does a good job keeping the flow alive. While there isn’t one stat that stands out, Davis is averaging 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. Jackson is the starting shooting guard but has missed some time with a groin injury. Chandler is expected to be available tonight so Florida State gets another slasher back into the fold. Thomas comes in and isn’t adding much from a scoring perspective he flashes breakout ability in nearly every statistical category. Defense is the easiest place to look when discussing what Justin brings but he can impact the game through his playmaking and rebounding just as easily. 

    The last three to highlight are Taylor Bol Bowen, Jerry Deng, and Bostyn Holt. Bol Bowen and Deng are stylistically similar players who have great length but can also stretch the court. Florida State isn’t always the best perimeter shooting team but Watkins, Bol Bowen, and Deng do a good job of keeping teams honest and stretching the floor so they can use their size both inside and outside the arc. Taylor is the better rebounder but both guys can get aggressive and change the dynamic of the game through their offense. Holt doesn’t stand out much but his 6’7″ length and energy could provide a difficult matchup outside of someone like Ben Burnham for the Hokies. 

    If Florida State can continue to apply pressure to the glass and the Hokies’ ball handlers this could turn fairly quickly. The Hokies have some decent matchups on paper but the pace that the Seminoles like to run means if there is any sort of drought for the Hokies offensively and they can’t get Florida State to match that same scoring drought it could be ugly. Virginia Tech has been a good rebounding team through most of the season and they will need to show that again tonight.

    Consistency has been the talking point of the season and it will continue to be highlighted again, especially with this matchup. It is not uncommon for college teams to be inconsistent but there is very little consistency from player to player for the Hokies. Multiple guys are capable of breaking out but those same players are just as capable of finishing with 4 points. Against a team like Florida State that can run so many different players at you it gets highlighted because you don’t have the one player you feel confident in changing momentum. 

    Tobi Lawal could be that player because of his elite athleticism and the fact that he is guarding Florida State’s best player, but he can be too reliant on the Virginia Tech guards to get things going. Lawal has added a three point shot to his game and does very well around the basket but he hasn’t been able to consistently slash in and draw fouls. Mylyjael Poteat is his frontcourt partner and it is a similar situation, although his moves come from strength rather than athleticism. Poteat can back players down but is much better when he can get the ball on the block and make a shorter move. If Virginia Tech can get the ball into these two and draw some fouls it would completely change the complexion of the game. 

    Scoring has turned into an issue and that is partially because of not knowing what to expect from the wings. Jaden Schutt, Jaydon Young, and Rodney Brown have all shown explosive scoring ability but haven’t brought it night in and night out. Schutt is the best shooter on the team but isn’t always aggressive in finding his shot. Young can be too aggressive at times and had a stretch where he launched perimeter shots that weren’t the best shots the team could take but when he is on he can be a knockdown shooter and one of the better slashers on the Hokies roster. Brown has served more as a backup point guard lately but he is another player that can make perimeter shots and set the offense up. If the Hokies can start to stretch the court, especially in this game, then it will open up so much space for the offense to work through the middle. 

    Ben Hammond and Brandon Rechsteiner would be the two players who could take advantage of that extra space. Hammond doesn’t have the best size but his quickness and defense stand out. Ben does a good job getting into the middle of the lane and kicking it to an open player. Rechsteiner is nearly the opposite as his point guard duties have looked shaky but when on the court as the shooting guard and more focused on getting his shot he has done well. Brandon has a very solid midrange game and is one of the best shooters on the team so his pull up jumpers could be a separating factor against the Seminoles length. 

    Tyler Johnson and Ben Burnham are the final two expected to get significant minutes and they have been two of the most important players throughout conference play. Johnson is a phenomenal rebounding that has been showing more of his offensive prowess lately with more perimeter shots and layups over smaller defenders. Tyler has plenty of strength and will have to show that rebounding off with the size Florida State brings to the court. Burnham does a little bit of everything and is almost exactly who you think of when someone describes a hybrid forward. Ben can take some guys off the dribble, back some guys down, and has a very good perimeter shot. Burnham did better against Clemson in the last game but had a dip in form right before that, so getting him back on track is crucial. 

    While some of that seemed awfully negative towards the Virginia Tech roster there is still talent for the Hokies to match up against most teams and win games. The hardest part is just not knowing which players are going to be the ones that will step up. Perimeter shooting, rebounding, and not turning the ball over are some of the most obvious fundamentals in basketball but it rings true again in this game. If the Hokies can knock down some shots to space the floor, limit offensive rebounds for Florida State, and not turn the ball over, especially for fast break opportunities, then it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Hokies pull the upset. 

    Prediction

    I do think this is the best Virginia Tech has matchup against Florida State in recent memory but that doesn’t help the confidence much. It would not shock me at all to see this stay a close game and the Hokies make a push at the end but there are too many factors pointing towards Florida State to dismiss. Even though the Seminoles are coming in out of form, stopping Watkins is going to be an issue and the Hokies have been so bad from the field that they need to prove it before I feel confident in predicting a win. 

    Final: Florida State 81 Virginia Tech 68

  • DeepSeek clouds AI picture just as Big Tech is set to report earnings


    Big Tech’s earnings roll call kicks off later this afternoon, with Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) set to announce their results after the bell. If you’d asked anyone last week about the biggest thought on Wall Street’s mind heading into earnings, they likely would have given you a number of responses ranging from the impacts of the new Trump administration to capital expenditures.

    That all changed Monday when the market went into full meltdown over DeepSeek AI. The China-based company sent Wall Street into panic mode over claims that its latest AI model, DeepSeek-R1, matches the performance of models produced by Silicon Valley’s biggest tech names, including OpenAI and Meta, for just a fraction of the cost.

    Now the big question on investors’ minds is how Big Tech will respond to what could mark a titanic shift in the ever-changing AI space. It’s not only a question of how companies like Microsoft, Meta, Google (GOOG, GOOGL), and Amazon (AMZN) are spending the billions they’ve poured into developing AI models, but whether Nvidia (NVDA), the biggest winner of the AI explosion, is wildly overvalued.

    Wall Street already hammered Nvidia Monday, sending shares plummeting and wiping out nearly $600 billion from its market cap. But it’s not all doom and gloom for the AI trade. Some analysts see DeepSeek as a net positive for the AI industry.

    In a recent investor note, Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said that if DeepSeek’s claims are correct and it’s managed to improve overall AI training efficiency, tech companies will likely see an increase in demand for AI technologies and that any computing power saved by DeepSeek’s approach will end up being used up to meet that new demand.

    Rasgon also points out that it’s highly unlikely that competing AI firms were unaware of the techniques DeepSeek used to develop its latest model. That’s not a stretch either. DeepSeek announced its DeepSeek-V3 model in December and R1 on Jan. 20.

    DeepSeek-V3 is the model the company said it spent just $5 million to train, compared to the estimated $100 million other companies have spent training their models. Despite knowing about both V3 and R1, Meta went ahead and announced its plans to spend upwards of $65 billion in 2025 on AI.

    Microsoft, for its part, said that it will spend $80 billion on its own AI buildout in the company’s fiscal 2025, though it made the announcement in early January.

    Other analysts still have questions about DeepSeek’s claims, with Truist Securities analyst William Stein saying it’s difficult to confirm the company’s statements as to the number and type of chips it used to train its models and how long training took.





    As Big Tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook prepare to report their earnings, all eyes are on the future of AI technology. And one company that is making major waves in the industry is DeepSeek Clouds.

    DeepSeek Clouds is revolutionizing the way we interact with AI through their cutting-edge picture recognition technology. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, DeepSeek Clouds is able to analyze images with unprecedented accuracy and speed.

    As the tech giants gear up to reveal their financial performance, the spotlight is on the potential impact of AI on their bottom line. Will DeepSeek Clouds’ innovative AI picture recognition technology disrupt the market and change the game for Big Tech? Only time will tell.

    Stay tuned for more updates on DeepSeek Clouds and the future of AI in the tech industry. This is one company to watch as we enter a new era of innovation and growth. #DeepSeekClouds #AI #BigTechEarnings.

  • Hedge-Fund Options Bet Surged Most Since 2020 in Tech Tumult


    (Bloomberg) — There was a surprising winner from the market carnage that unfolded on Monday: A popular options strategy that bets on calm.

    Most Read from Bloomberg

    The dispersion trade — which buys options in single stocks and sells contracts on an index — had its best day since 2020 as AI fears swept the market and sank some of the biggest US companies.

    That’s because the strategy, which is beloved by all manner of hedge funds and banks, effectively amounts to a bet on an index remaining calmer than its individual stocks. Monday’s rout was so pronounced in tech and limited elsewhere that correlations between shares stayed low and index volatility remained contained — an ideal scenario for dispersion.

    Once a niche play for hedge funds, dispersion has gone mainstream in recent years as banks packaged it into easy-to-access swaps for their clients. Versions of the strategy from JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and BNP Paribas SA all had their best day in nearly five years. The Cboe S&P 500 Dispersion Index gained the most since 2022.

    “What looked like an indiscriminate ‘get out of equities’ scenario overnight has evolved into a market condition where correlations across stocks is even lower than it was last week,” Michael Purves, chief executive officer at Tallbacken Capital Advisors, wrote in a note. “This explains why the move in the VIX is tepid.”

    Nvidia Corp. and Broadcom Inc. both dropped 17% on Monday while the S&P 500 fell only 1.5% and the Cboe Volatility Index, or VIX, ended the day just three points higher. That’s a stark contrast from the selloff spurred by hawkish Federal Reserve expectations in mid-December, or by the carry trade unwind in August. Dispersion trades lost money in both instances.

    The trade sells options on a broad equity gauge like the S&P 500 while buying similar derivatives on its members like Apple Inc. or Nvidia. The idea is to ride the relatively higher demand for index hedges from investors seeking portfolio insurance, which means they typically pay more for protection at the benchmark level than it costs a trader at the stock level.

    While dispersion comes in different flavors, Monday’s performance is likely to bolster the defensive credentials of the strategy, which have come under doubt in recent months on fears of crowding. The implied correlation across the S&P 500 has plummeted since Covid to near the lowest in Bloomberg data going back to 2011, meaning the entry point for the trade has become less attractive.



    Hedge-Fund Options Bet Surged Most Since 2020 in Tech Tumult

    In the midst of the recent tech tumult, hedge funds have been making some bold options bets that have surged to levels not seen since 2020. With the tech sector experiencing significant volatility, these funds are taking advantage of the uncertainty to potentially profit from market swings.

    According to recent data, hedge funds have been increasing their options bets on tech stocks at a rapid pace. This surge in options activity suggests that these funds are anticipating further turbulence in the tech sector and are positioning themselves accordingly.

    While options trading can be risky, hedge funds are known for their sophisticated strategies and ability to navigate volatile markets. By making these high-stakes bets, they are potentially able to capitalize on market movements and generate significant profits.

    As the tech sector continues to face challenges and uncertainties, hedge funds will likely remain active in the options market, looking for opportunities to profit from the turmoil. Only time will tell if these bets will pay off, but one thing is for certain – hedge funds are not shying away from taking risks in the current market environment.
