Georgia’s defense has been a key factor in their victories. By keeping Mississippi State’s scoring in check and forcing turnovers, they can control the game’s tempo and limit their opponent’s scoring opportunities. Georgia needs to dominate the boards, especially on the defensive end. By securing rebounds, they can limit Mississippi State’s second-chance points and control the pace of the game. Playing at Stegeman Coliseum, Georgia has a strong home record. The crowd support and familiarity with the court can give them an edge over the visiting team. Asa Newell needs to have a standout game, both offensively and defensively. His scoring and rebounding will be crucial in securing a win for Georgia. I like Georgia’s advantages here. On Haslametrics, Georgia has a significant three point shooting advantage ranking 86th in adjusted three point percentage to Mississippi State ranking 272nd in defending it. I think that they should be able to capitalize from downtown at home.
Georgia PK -120 – 2.5 stars
Bonus Play: Florida vs Auburn under 157.5 – 2 stars – While both teams have been known to play fast, neither of them will want to get into a shootout with each other. Florida has been poor offensively on the road. They haven’t scored past 71 point since January 5th away from the comforts of home. Both Florida and Auburn have defenses ranking in the top 14 on Kenpom.

UConn: Averaging 74.4 points, 28.8 rebounds, 17.8 assists, 4.9 steals, and 6.3 blocks per game.
Prediction
This should be the game of the night. The Huskies get great news yesterday as their best player in Liam McNeeley is finally back on the court since his injury on January 1st. UCONN has some matchup advantages here as while St John’s defense is solid, they can’t defend the three that well ranking 181st in opponent three point percentage. With McNeeley back in the lineup, Uconn should be able go bombs away form behind the arc. Shooting guard Solo Ball shoots an amazing 46% from downtown and will only ad to the onslaught. the Johnnies are in a rough spot after a huge win on Tuesday against Marquette. Their losses come when they are away from home, and I think that it’s time that the Huskies take back control of the Big East. Given UConn’s home court advantage and recent strong performances, they have a good chance to win by 5 points or more.

Well, it is the matchup that we all cringed about yet knew could happen. Here we are. This game reminds me of the movie The Matrix. Are we going to take the red pill to see reality? Or are we going to take the blue pill to remain happily brainwashed? Let’s break it down.
The Chiefs are number 8 in offensive EPA. They are number 8 in drop-back EPA and number 13 in rush EPA. The Eagles are number 6 in offensive EPA. They are number 7 in drop-back EPA and number 1 in rush EPA.
On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs are number 17 in defensive EPA. They are number 16 in opponent drop-back EPA and number 15 in opponent rush EPA. The Eagles are number 2 in defensive EPA. They are number 3 in opponent drop-back EPA and number 2 in opponent rush EPA.
What does this all say? Well, it says that the Eagles are the better team and should be able to move the ball on the Chiefs’ defense almost at will. Yet, the Chiefs just can’t stop winning, now can they?
Both teams are very close in yards per point, both on offense and defense. The Eagles move the ball much better than the Chiefs at a net positive 0.9 yards per play, while the Chiefs are a net negative -0.3 yards per play. The Eagles should have significant advantages over the Chiefs. One big mismatch is the Eagles’ defensive line should be able to manhandle the Chiefs’ offensive line. Why are the Chiefs so good then? Well, it’s due to some clutch factors that are hard to quantify.
The Chiefs have a very stingy defense, allowing 17 yards per point, which ranks 3rd in the NFL. They are also great at 3rd down conversions, ranking 3rd at 48%. Is this enough to justify the Eagles statistically being the much better team with a +1.3 net yards per play? I think we would have to be fools to not see that the flags tend to be thrown and, of course, “not thrown” Kansas City’s way.
There are many theories on why the Chiefs are favored by the officials—from the “Vegas Called” theory (which is a bit far-fetched), to the idea that “the NFL and the networks make more money when the Chiefs win” (much more plausible). I personally think that the officials feel they need to appease someone upstairs, which is clearly the wrong thing to do. For some reason, the NFL allows it. We may never know why that is, but here are some numbers to think about from Warren Sharp showing a statistically significant officiating advantage towards the Chiefs: https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/chiefs-referee-playoffs-penalties-2024-divisional-round/
At the end of the day, my numbers have the Eagles winning this game 25-22. Going back to what I said about The Matrix, by now it should be clear that if you take the blue pill, you are betting on the Eagles. Maybe in betting on this side, you could be in complete denial of the fact that this game may be biased and manipulated for the Kansas City Chiefs. The numbers are strongly in your favor, and you expect Hurts to be just as clutch as Mahomes in an evenly called game. You are basically a metrics-only handicapper and will continue to go with that.
On the other side, if you take the red pill, you are waking up and betting on the Chiefs knowing that the Chiefs are going to win. Even though every logical, numbers-based, quantitative handicap says to bet on the Eagles, you are using a qualitative eye test approach. You see not only that Mahomes and the Chiefs are very clutch but also bank on the refs favoring your side. I’m not saying this is wrong. The intangible aspects of these Chiefs’ victories have been colossal. Fading the Chiefs can be used to define insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
For me, I’m not taking either of these pills. I would personally feel like an idiot if I bet on either side of this game and lost. If I truly like how the Eagles move the ball and play defense, I could always attack that in the prop market.
One bet that I did make was the 1st half under. I honestly believe that in Super Bowls, teams try not to make big mistakes early and give the game away. The teams are more risk-averse and would rather play small ball than go for explosive results. I bet this side every year, but ironically, the only year it didn’t work out for me out of the last eight or so was this exact matchup two years ago. I think both of these teams have better defenses than they had in 2022, so I do think they can put a stop to scoring. I will continue to ride this trend.
Best Bet: 1st half under 24.5 – 2 stars
One last thing. If the Eagles are going to win this game, I think they have to be up by a few scores late. Nobody wants to give Mahomes the ball with the zebras watching with extra care on the last drive. I think the Eagles know this, and there is a chance that if they do win, it has to be by a margin. I’m going to take a play on the Eagles’ alternate line at -6.5. We can also possibly hedge this later and win money either way.
Eagles Alt line -6.5 +261 – 1 star

The WM Phoenix Open marks the sixth event of the 2025 PGA TOUR season.
Rory McIlroy secured his 27th PGA TOUR victory last week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, closing with a final-round 66 to claim a two-shot win over Shane Lowry.
Nick Taylor
Nick Taylor returns as the defending champion of the WM Phoenix Open, having finished runner-up to Scottie Scheffler in 2023 before claiming the title last year. He’s already found success this season, winning the Sony Open in Hawaii by defeating Nico Echavarria in a playoff.
Scottie Scheffler
The World No. 1 and reigning FedExCup Champion is making his sixth appearance at TPC Scottsdale, where he’s been dominant. A two-time WM Phoenix Open champion (2022, 2023), Scheffler has finished inside the top 10 in each of his last four starts at this event. His 2022 victory at TPC Scottsdale marked the first of his 13 career TOUR wins.
TPC Scottsdale, home of the WM Phoenix Open, opened in 1986 and quickly became one of the most recognizable courses on the PGA TOUR. Designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the course was built to host a TOUR event, offering a challenging yet spectator-friendly layout. The Stadium Course, the tournament’s primary venue, is famous for its dramatic finishing stretch, highlighted by the par-3 16th hole, which has evolved into the most iconic amphitheater setting in golf. Over the years, TPC Scottsdale has undergone renovations, including a 2014 redesign by Weiskopf to modernize the course and enhance playability.
The WM Phoenix Open, often referred to as “The People’s Open,” has a rich history dating back to its inception in 1932. Originally played at Phoenix Country Club, the tournament moved to TPC Scottsdale in 1987, where it has since become one of the most electric events on the PGA TOUR. Known for its raucous crowds, the event’s signature par-3 16th hole—often called “The Coliseum”—transforms into a stadium-like setting, creating an unmatched atmosphere in professional golf. Over the years, legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, and Tiger Woods have left their mark on the event, with Mickelson holding the record for the most wins (three). The tournament is also recognized for its strong charitable efforts, with proceeds benefiting local organizations through The Thunderbirds, a civic group that has run the event since 1939.

Course Guide/ Scorecard:
TPC Scottsdale, originally designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, underwent a significant renovation in 2014, led by Weiskopf. The updates modernized the course, enhancing bunker placements, improving greens, and refining turf conditions to increase the challenge.
This Par 71 course stretches 7,216 yards and features four par 3s, twelve par 4s, and two par 5s. As a classic desert layout, its firm fairways allow shorter hitters to stay competitive, while elevation provides extra distance off the tee. However, accuracy is key, as TPC Scottsdale boasts some of the narrowest fairways on TOUR, making precision off the tee a crucial factor this week.
The four Par 3’s range from 163 to 215 yards. Last year, the only two Par 3’s to have a scoring average over par were No. 7 and No. 12.
No. 16, 163 yards, Par 3: This is the signature hole on the course and what most spectators come to the event for. It’s truly an atmosphere, unlike any other hole on the PGA Tour. Several bunkers surround the green which is the only threat players will face.
There are eleven Par 4’s at TPC Scottsdale with the majority of those holes ranging between 400 and 500 yards. In terms of scoring average, the toughest Par 4 on the course last year was No. 11.
No. 14, 490 Yards, Par 4: This is another challenging hole that also played over par last year. Off the tee, players will have an uphill shot that’s fairly straightforward. The difficulty comes into play on their approach shot with an elevated green that’s protected by bunkers. If players do miss left of the putting surface it’ll make an up-and-down significantly more difficult.
No. 17, 332 yards, Par 4: This is a drivable short par 4 that players will need to compose themselves for after playing the 16th. Water does come into play along the left side so any miss should be right.
There are three Par 5s on the course, No. 3, No. 13, and No. 15. All of these holes had a scoring average under par in 2024. Hole No. 13 was the easiest hole on the course last year with a scoring average of 0.521 below par.
No. 3, 558 yards, Par 5: This is the first Par 5 that players will face on the course. Off the tee, players will try to avoid fairway bunkers along the left side allowing them to go for the green in two. They’ll face a two-tiered green on their approach shot which can lead to some difficult putts depending on the pin location.
No. 15, 553 yards, Par 5: This is a thrilling risk-reward Par 5 that plays a crucial role in the tournament’s closing stretch. A well-struck tee shot favoring the left side sets up an aggressive approach, but water guards the front and left of the green, punishing any mis-hit attempts to reach in two. Players laying up must navigate a fairway that narrows near the water, leaving a short iron or wedge into a firm, undulating green.
