More wins in the US Open, ya love to see it, and now we have NFL football tonight! I’m such a dork but I don’t know if there’s anything that amps me up more than the start of pro football. Officially I lean over in tonight’s game too, but for now we’ll stick with Rams -2.5. Will send out some more CFB later today, as well.
Let’s riiiiidddee!
U.S. Open Picks 9.4 (12-6, +4.78 units):
Garcia/Jabeur over 21.5 (-120), to win 1 unit
Jabeur to win (+125), to win 1.25 units
Jabeur made it to the Wimbledon finals and she hasn’t lost a beat in the U.S. Open. She struggles against big power hitters like Rybakina, and she might struggle if she sees Sabalenka in the Finals, but odds are Jabeur can handle her own tonight. Garcia has yet to lose a set and she’s very comfortable on the hard court, but she’s also faced ideal competition for her style and she’s never beat Ons before. Value on Jabeur at a price we rarely get her.
Iga Swiatek -3.5 (-110), to win 1 unit
Sabalenka has been a beast thus far but I think she’s a bad match for Swiatek. Watching Iga last night was like watching Federer in his prime; just always getting the ball back, somehow, in boundary, even in the most awkward positions and with POWER. Iga seems to be in the zone right now and Sabalenka relies on her power; she’s not as savvy as others who can give Swiatek trouble. I like Iga by margin here.
