Day late but not a dollar short – let’s hit this Wednesday. I think there’s PLENTY of value on today’s card. Let’s go!
NBA Picks:
Hawks/Magic over 229 *
Fast-paced and tired defenses, the Magic shouldn’t grant too much resistance against a potent Hawks’ offense that’s feeling themselves after last night.
Pistons +13 *
I’m not going to bet against the Celtics but this is a huge line against a Detroit team that isn’t good but can be feisty. After Boston’s big win last night, this is a big time letdown spot.
Blazers/Grizzlies over 227.5 **
Little resistance from the Blazers defense, Ja should be back, and who can stop this prolific Memphis offense? Right now, maybe no one. Love the over.
Rockets +15.5 *
I know it’s ugly, but Phoenix is off a back to back and this is their last game before the break. How much do they care? Will they rest players? Probably. All Rockets for me.
Warriors -5.5 **
What do you do when a great team disappoints? You look to play ON that team at the next opportunity. This is a GREAT spot for the Warriors to get right and play a complete game at home.
CBB Picks: I’ll be using the All Star break to reassess my college basketball power ratings and make better plays. We have done really well, but don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.
If you ever have any questions, message me here, on Twitter, or on Instagram. I will make myself available from 9am to 5pm every day, but please don’t expect an answer outside of those hours. I gotta shut it down sometimes. All picks are 1-5 stars based on unit size and confidence. 3 star picks are rare, 4-5 star picks are VERY rare. -Chris
Hi All! This is a weird time in the NBA, 2 days before the All-Star break, and many lines have yet to crystallize. I’m going to wait a little longer than usual to send out picks today, just for your awareness. Thanks!
We’re going back to back, Scottie Scheffler defeat’s Patrick Cantlay in extra holes to capture his first ever PGA Tour event win! What a performance from him on Sunday, starting off hot then fading a bit only to make a late push and get himself in the playoffs. In addition to cashing on the outright winner, we also hit Matt Fitzpatrick Top 20 (+170) to go up +6.89 Units last week. In the last two weeks we’re up a combined 16.64 Units, which may not seem like a lot when hitting two outrights but my unit scale is slightly different than others. This is only my second year of covering golf so I’m continually learning as I go but any feedback is always appreciated, positive or negative.
I mean does The Peoples Open ever disappoint!? The amount of viral content that came out of the Waste Management Open last week was just amazing. From Sam Ryders Hole in 1 on the 16th, to Harry Higgs and Joel Dahmen taking off their shirts, it was just an incredibly hilarious week. While that may not be the “brand” of golf everyone wants to see every week, and understandably so, for once a year, the Waste Management Phoenix Open is must watch TV.
We head back to California for The Genesis Invitational this week where we have a star studded field. This will be a much different feel for golf fans this week. Last week was a frat party and this week will be much more of a black tie affair. Regardless of which you prefer, it’s always an incredible tournament that’s extremely challenging so we should be in for a treat. Let’s get into it, and dare I say? Try to find our third winner in a row.

The Genesis Invitational will end the West Coast Swing as we head to Florida next week for The Honda Classic.
The tournament made it’s debut in 1926 as the Los Angeles Open. It stayed as the LA Open until 1987, when Nissan took over the sponsorship for the event. In 1995, Nissan removed the “Los Angeles” name and changed it to the Nissan Open. However, from 2008 to 2016 it was played as the Northern Trust Open, until Genesis took over as the main sponsor in 2017. In 2017, it was changed to the Genesis Open but, in 2020 it became the Genesis Invitational. This change from Open to Invitation made it a more exclusive field with a bigger purse and a longer exemption for winning.
Riviera Country Club first hosted this event back in 1929 and has since held it a total of 58 times (non-consecutively). Since 1999, the tournament has been exclusively played here. The course will also host the Olympics in 2028 as Los Angeles is the host city.
Course Guide/ Scorecard:
Riviera Country Club is definitely one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour. It’s a Par 71 that plays roughly 7,322 yards. In terms of course length it’s about average ranking 24 out of 54. Despite it’s location on the west coast, the elevation changes aren’t all that significant. However, what makes it so difficult is the narrow fairways and firm greens. While the fairways are significantly tougher to hit than the Tour average, the rough isn’t all that penalizing. Riviera and Torrey Pines are the only two courses on Tour that feature Kikuyu fairways and rough which is something to watch out for. Given the fast Poa Annua greens, the GIR % is roughly 16% lower here than the Tour Average over the last 5 years. The Poa Annua greens can be extremely challenging for some players as they run fast and can be unpredictable.
The course features three Par 5’s all of which vary in length and difficulty. The first hole is a short par five, that’s relatively easy depending on the tee shot. While the seventeenth is a tough uphill par 5 but does play downwind allowing players to gain some yardage.
The four Par 3’s are not that long as three of the four play under 200 yards. The real difficulty of these holes is that they are well protected by bunkers. Hole six actually has a bunker in the middle of the green that can come into play depending on the pin location. The par 3 fourteenth is considered one of the easiest holes on the course and features a wide open green. However, if you’re short here you’re most likely going to end up in a bunker as they surround the green in the front.
In terms of Strokes Gained, the past six winners of the Genesis Invitational have all ranked highly in Tee to Green and Approach. As I previously mentioned, it’s an extremely difficult course as seen by all of the scoring averages from the past three years.
Key Statistics:
Strokes Gained: Tee to Green
Strokes Gained: Approach
Strokes Gained: Putting (Poa Annua)
Strokes Gained: Off the Tee
Strokes Gained: Around The Green
Par 4 Scoring: 450-500

Course History
The Field/ Odds:
If Jon Rahm enters a tournament and isn’t the favorite, is it even a golf tournament? He’s currently listed at +950 (FanDuel) and is coming off a 10th place finish in the Waste Management Phoenix Open. While Rahm is currently ranked #1 in the OWGR, he has yet to capture a win during the 2021-22 season. His best finish was back in the Sentry Tournament of Champions where he finished 2nd. He’s been in great form as of late with his recent finishes going T10-T3-T14-2. Rahm will look for this first win of the season and his first win at the Genesis this week.
Following Rahm is Patrick Cantlay who’s currently listed at +1200 on FanDuel. He lost in the Playoff last week to Scottie Scheffler in the Waste Management Phoenix Open. Cantlay has recorded a Top 20 finish at the Genesis his last four entries but has failed to finish higher than 4th which was back in 2018.
Next up is Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas who are both listed at +1600 on FanDuel. JT has missed the cut his last two starts at the Genesis but is in decent form finishing 8-20-5-5 in his last four starts. Dustin Johnson is also in great form finishing 25-8 in his last two starts. He’s had much more success in this tournament than JT finishing 8-10-9-16 in his last four starts and winning the Genesis in 2017.
After the three favorites we have Collin Morikawa at +2000 on DraftKings, Cameron Smith +2200 on DraftKings, and Rory McIlroy at +2200 as well on DraftKings. Rory’s been playing some great golf as of late but hasn’t been playing on the PGA Tour last competing in the Hero World Challenge back in December of 2021. Cam Smith has also been playing a lot of Euro Golf as of late and has been playing well over there. Last year he finished 4th at the Genesis so he’s certainly someone to keep an eye out on. Collin Morikawa hasn’t been in the best of form as of late but if his putter catches fire he always has a great shot to win. He’s played in the Genesis twice, finishing 26th in 2020 and 43rd in 2021.
Other “horses for courses” this week include; Hideki Matsuyama +2500 on Caesars (4th in ’15, 9th in ’19, 5th in ’20), Bubba Watson +4500 on DraftKings (won in ’14,’16’, & ’18), Max Homa +5000 on DraftKings (5th in ’20 & won in ’21), Adam Scott (2nd in ’16, 7th in ’19, and won in ’20) and Tony Finau +5000 on DraftKings (2nd in ’18 & 2nd in ’20).
DJ struggled last year but has seemed to turn things around this season. He finished 25th in the Farmers Insurance Open and 8th in the 2022 Saudi International. I mean to put it plain and simple, DJ loves this course and has played well here nearly every year. He won this event back in 2017 and finished runner up in 2014 and 2015. Starting in 2011 these have been his results at the Genesis MC-4-MC-2-2-4-1-16-9-10-8. He ranks first in the field gaining 2.47 Total Strokes at Riviera. Based on his revitalized form and his course history, I think he repeats here.
Cameron Smith (+2200) – DraftKings
Risk: 0.37 to win 8.14 Units
Cam Smith also just played in the Saudi International and finished 4th. In his last PGA Tour event he missed the cut at the Sony Open in Hawaii but prior to that he won the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Last year he finished 4th at the Genesis topping his previous best finish which was 6th back in 2017. Cam’s in great form as of late and given his success at this course last season, I think he has a shot to win it this year. He’s gaining strokes in every category at this event besides off the tee which isn’t a crucial stat. Smith is great around the green and if his putter can get hot, he should be a contender.
Will Zalatoris (+3200) – FanDuel
Risk 0.25 to win 8.00 Units
Willy Z has been in amazing form this past two weeks finishing T6 at the American Express and 2nd at the Famers Insurance Open. He hasn’t played in the last two events which is a slight concern as most of the previous winners have but I couldn’t keep him off the card this week. Last year he finished 15th at the Genesis. He’s gaining 1.23 Strokes Putting at this event which ranks 2nd. While his play ATG here is a slight concern, he’s been much better this year and ranks 59th in SG: ATG on the Tour. He also ranks top 10 in terms of SG: OTT, SG: APP, SG: TTG, and SG: Total.
Matthew Fitzpatrick (+4000) – PointsBet (LATE WITHDRAW)
Risk 0.20 to win 8.0 Units
Possibly my favorite play of the week is Fitzpatrick to win the Genesis. He finished T6 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and T10 at the WM Phoenix Open last week. He made his debut at this event in 2020 finishing 30th then followed that up by finishing 5th last year. Fitzpatrick is 38th in SG: OTT, 2nd in SG: APP, 6th in SG: TTG, and 1st in SG: Total on the PGA Tour this year. He’s also gaining strokes in every category at the Genesis and looks to be in great position to win this week.
Talor Gooch (+5500) – FanDuel
Risk 0.15 to win 8.25 Units
Talor Gooch captured his first win on the PGA Tour at the end of 2021 in the RSM Classic. Prior to the RSM Classic he was in incredible form and post win has since faded ever so slightly. Last week out at the WM Phoenix Open he finished T26. He’s played in the Genesis Invitational three times in his career finishing 20th in 2018, 10th in 2020, and 12th in 2021. Gooch is gaining strokes in every category at this event and ranks in the top in several including approach, tee to green, and ball striking. His putting is always a concern so that will be the make or break for him this week.
Total Risk on Outrights: 1.47 Units (UPDATE: 1.27 Units)
Picks (Top 20):
Adam Scott (+175) – Pointsbet
Risk 1.00 to win 1.75 Units
Adam Scott won this event back in 2020 and also has three Top finishes to his name at the Genesis. He struggled a bit in this tournament last year finishing 38th but enters this year in much better form. He had success on the DP Tour this season gathering a 9th and 10th place finish. Last week he made his season debut on the Tour only to finish 38th at the WM Phoenix Open. He ranks 4th overall in the field in terms of strokes gained at the Genesis. Given the combination of the kikuyu fairways/ rough and Poa Annua greens he seems to do well here.
Thomas Pieters (+270) – FanDuel
Risk 0.50 to win 1.35 Units
Thomas Pieters is going to be a popular play this week no doubt based on his current form. He won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship over on the DP Tour last month and then finished T12 at the Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic as well. This will be his first time playing at the Genesis since 2018 where he finished 68th. However, in 2017 he was the runner up to Dustin Johnson. He’s gaining strokes in every category at this event besides around the green. He’s a great iron player this week which I think will propel him into the top 20 given the difficulty of these approach shots.
Alex Noren (+290) – Pointsbet
Risk 0.50 to win 1.45 Units
Alex Noren enters this event off a 6th place finish at the WM Phoenix Open last week. While he didn’t start the 2021-22 season off strong missing the cut at the RSM Classic and the AmEx, he’s been better as of late. Noren has played in this event three times with his best finish coming last year (12th). He’s 2 for 3 in terms of finishing in the Top 20 at the Genesis with the other time coming back in 2018 (16th). Looking at his SG stats at this event, he’s losing strokes around the green and off the tee which is a slight concern. That being said, he is gaining strokes in approach, tee to green and in putting. He ranks 19th in the field in terms of SG Putting at this event and based on his current form, I think he sneaks into the Top 20 again here.
Total Risk on Top 20: 2.00 Units
Picks (Top 40):
Patrick Rodgers (+165) – FanDuel
Risk 1.00 Units to win 1.65 Units
Rodger’s comes into this event in sub-par form missing the cut in his last two events. With that being said, he’s been a Top 40 machine at the Genesis. Since 2017, these have been his finishing positions; 22-26-15-30-12. In all SG categories he’s not losing any strokes at this event. He ranks 18th in the field in terms of SG Putting at the Genesis which is a major category as these Poa Annua greens can frustrate a lot of players.
Total Risk on Top 40: 1.00 Units
Total Risk on The Genesis Invitational : 4.47 Units (UPDATE 4.27 UNITS)

Memphis -3 +100 – 2 stars – Forget everything that you thought about this basketball team from December 15th – February 1st. Memphis was very very injured this year and struggled mightily because of it. We must not forget that this team was considered a top 20 team in the beginning of the season with wins against Saint Louis, Virginia Tech and Alabama. They just beat Houston so is that a let down spot? NOT WHEN YOU ARE ON THE REVENGE TOUR. This team beat Cincinnati while injured. They will be fine here on the road.

*NBA(1u): Celtics/76ers UNDER 210(-110)–6:30 PM CT
Boston enters tonight’s bout with Philly playing the best defense in the NBA over their past 3 games; on the season, Boston ranks 2nd in defensive efficiency. Philadelphia is a pretty mediocre offense to begin with, but over their past 3 games, the ‘6ers rank just 27th in offensive efficiency. That said, Philly has held a Top 10 defense all season and is playing even better than that ranking over their past 3 games. Boston has plenty of talent on the offensive floor, but they rank a measly 19th in offensive efficiency over the course of this season. As a kicker, Philadelphia runs at the 3rd slowest pace in the league, while Boston runs at a below-average pace themselves. This as close to a “playoff environment” as you’re going to find with the real playoffs still a couple of months away, so there shouldn’t be many freebies to go around for either side. I think this is a “first to 100 wins” type of game that stays comfortably under this total.
*NBA(1u): Mavericks/Heat UNDER 209(-110)–6:30 PM CT
This game features two Top 5 defenses in the league, and each are in great current form entering tonight’s game. In addition, Miami ranks 26th in pace this season, while the Mavericks rank dead last. While each offense has had marginal success lately, neither of these teams have played a playoff team in over a week. Dallas is without a volume 3-point shooter in Tim Hardaway Jr, while the Heat are without a similar scoring threat in Tyler Herro. This game is going to have a playoff-type of feel to it between two evenly-matched teams; I don’t think this total does justice to how much of a defensive battle this is going to be. I think the first to 100 points wins here, and this total might not even reach 200.
*CBB(1u): Villanova/Providence UNDER 132(-110)–7 PM CT
Providence has climbed up to #8 in the AP Poll, much to the chagrin of many of the analytics gurus who think Providence is the luckiest team in the country. There’s a reason why Villanova is 4.5 point road favorites in a Top 10 matchup. However, rather than looking at a side here, I’ll take a look towards this Under. While Villanova’s offense is very efficient, the Wildcats run at one of the slowest paces in the country(#351 in pace). The crowd at Dunkin Donuts Center is going to be ruckus, and with one of the better defenses in the Big East, I think there’s a clear path for Providence to get consistent stops tonight. The Friars also run at a very slow pace but don’t have quite the level of efficiency on the offensive end of the floor that Villanova does. Villanova ranks 25th in defensive efficiency. Given the magnitude and implications of this game, there aren’t going to be free points found anywhere near Providence tonight. The Wildcats should pull this one out, but the pace of each team combined with the environment leads me towards playing this Under.
Tuesday card led by the 100% BIG East Conference Game Of The Year, the NBA Game of the week and NHL. SEC play Below.
The NCAAB SEC Power Play is on Kentucky at 9:00 eastern. The Vols fit a late season system that plays against teams that are undefeated this late in the season. The Wildcats are better on both sides of the ball and have taken the last 2 on this court. Look for the Wildcats to deal the Vole their first lo of the year at home.Play on Kentucky plus the point or two. On Tuesday the BIG Eat conference Play of the Year headline along with the NBA Game of the Week and a Powerful NHL Total. See us at goldencontender@aol.com or on facebook/twitter to jump on. For the SEC play. Go with Kentucky. Rob V- Golden Contender sports
This period of time before the All-Star break is no joke. Teams are tired, and motivation isn’t always equal, that’s for sure. I’m glad we pulled out of the Nuggets game but wow, what the hell happened with Golden State? Yikes. Onto a day where I see plenty of value across the board.
NBA Picks:
Celtics/Sixers under 210 **
The Celtics defense is on fire right now, able to completely stifle another team at a moment’s notice (see their game Sunday against Atlanta in the 2nd half), and both of these units play tremendously slow. The shooting will need to be off the charts for this to go over 210. I’m on the under.
Celtics -1.5 **
Speaking of the Celtics surging, I think their talent and defense will be too much for Embiid to handle alone. I really like Boston tonight.
Mavs/Heat under 208.5 *
For many of the same reasons above, I don’t see how this number doesn’t fall well-below the mark. Both teams play slow, both teams are top 10 in defense, and there won’t be an easy shot in this one. Only for 1 unit since Spencer Dinwiddie gets his first opportunity to play for Dallas and he could up their tempo a bit. Still like the under, and the total is going down.
Hornets/T-Wolves over 243 *
Have you seen Minnesota totals lately? Do you see how fast these teams go and how little defense they play? Even this inflated line doesn’t feel high enough for a Timberwolves game right now.
CBB Picks:
Florida State -2 *
Revenge game for the Seminoles
Kentucky ML *
The Wildcats are playing some superb basketball right now. I trust them more than Tennessee.
Utah State +4 *
Tough spot but Utah St. needs to get right. Too many points.
If you ever have any questions, message me here, on Twitter, or on Instagram. I will make myself available from 9am to 5pm every day, but please don’t expect an answer outside of those hours. I gotta shut it down sometimes. All picks are 1-5 stars based on unit size and confidence. 3 star picks are rare, 4-5 star picks are VERY rare. -Chris

Winnipeg are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Winnipeg’s last 9 games at home
Preview:
This will be the second meeting between these two teams this year. The Jets defeated the Blackhawks 5-1 at home on November 5, 2021. Winnipeg closed as a -145 favorite in that game, with the Total being set at 6.0 (-115/-105).
Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks are coming off a 5-1 loss against the St. Louis Blues on the road. Chicago has struggled this season across the board. They don’t have a great offense, their defensive is also very bad, and Marc Andre-Fleury is playing much worse than last year. The Blackhawks are ending their three game road trip tonight against St. Louis where they’ve split the first two games, losing to the Blues in their last game as previously mentioned and defeating the Oilers 4-1 on Wednesday.
Chicago ranks 30th in the NHL in terms of Goals For Per Game with an average of 2.38. In their last 10, they’ve been slightly better offensively averaging 2.40. The Blackhawks do not generate a ton of shots on Goal ranking 29th with an average of 28.6. When you look at the Blackhawks lineup they just don’t have a lot of talent up front. Patrick Kane leads the team in points, averaging a point per game. Next is All-Star Alex DeBrincat with 39 points in 48 games but after him, the production really tails off. Their Power Play ranks 15th converting at a rate of 20.1%. It’s really hard to find anything good when looking at this team from an offensive prospective, they fail to generate shots and fail to capitalize on the little scoring chances they do create.
Jonathan Toews is out for tonight with a Concussion.
In terms of defense, the Blackhawks rank 24th in Goals Allowed Per game averaging 3.35. In their last 10 games, they’ve been worse conceding an average of 3.80 per game. They allow an average of 32.1 Shots Against per game ranking 21st. Their Penalty Kill ranks 28th with a 74.5% success rate. Again, its tough to find the positive’s here when looking at the Chicago defensive unit. Seth Jones has not lived up to expectations but is still 3rd in terms of points for the team which says something.
Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to get the start in net for the Blackhawks tonight. He has a 15-17-4 record on the year with a 2.94 GAA and a .908 SV%. In his last five games he’s allowed 5-1-5-2-4 Goals Against.
Winnipeg Jets
The Jets have been pretty solid since returning from the break. They’ve gone 2-0-1 defeating the Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators on the road. Their only loss came at the hands of the Dallas Stars 4-3 in OT. They return from a three game road trip to face the Blackhawks tonight where they’ll begin a four game home stand.
Winnipeg ranks 20th in terms of Goals For per game averaging 2.87. In their last 10 games, they’ve been worse averaging 2.50. However, in their last three games they average 3.33 Goals For per game. The Jest do rank 10th in terms of Shots on Goal averaging 33.5 but have the 24th worst Shooting %. Their Power Play ranks 11th converting at a 21.5%.
The Jets average 2.89 Goals Against per game game ranking 17th. In their last 10, they’ve been worse averaging 3.00. Winnipeg does allow a lot of shots against but Chicago doesn’t generate a ton of shots for as previously mentioned so I don’t think that’s a major concern. Their Penalty Kill also isn’t great ranking 27th with a 74.8% success rate.
It looks like Logan Stanley and Evgeny Svechnikov will return to the lineup tonight. However, Neal Pionk will be out tonight for personal reasons.
Connor Hellebuyck is expected to get the start in net tonight for the Winnipeg Jets. He has a 16-15-7 record on the year with a 2.83 GAA and a .913 SV%. In his last five games he’s allowed 2-4-0-2-5 Goals Against.
Pick:
WINNIPEG JETS 60 MINUTE LINE (-105)
The Jets have been better as of late and are better at home, which is expected. They’ve been great against division opponents this year while Chicago has struggled within the division. Neither team is great, but Winnipeg is a better team than Chicago and should take care of business at home here against an inferior opponent.
Other Plays on the Night:
DETROIT RED WINGS/ MINNESOTA WILD OVER 6.0 (-120)
Best of luck, and as always you can find me on Twitter @GatorBetting and Instagram @Gator_Sports_Betting.
