By

-

The field this week is comprised of 20 golfers, 19 are in the world’s top 50 plus defending champion Henrik Stenson. This weeks event is not an official PGA Tour event and does not award any FedEx Cup points. However, it does have a nice $1 Million Dollar prize for the winner and counts towards the Official World Golf ranking. This event is essentially an “All Star Game” for the golf world as its an exclusive invite only event comprised of the biggest names in golf.

The January event took place at Grayhawk Golf Club and the second at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. The Hero World Challenge continued to take place at Sherwood until 2013. In 2014, it was switched to Isleworth and in 2015 it moved to the Albany where it currently remains. Tiger Woods is the host for this event and has the most wins with 5 (2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2011).

Course Guide/ Scorecard:

Hole 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Yards 4 3 5 4 3 5 4 3 5
Par 423 187 572 492 180 595 340 216 603

 

Hole 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

Par 435 589 202 483 298 548 485 184 470

 

The Albany Golf Club has a unique layout as it’s comprised of five Par 3’s and Par 5’s. The course it’s self is an oceanfront course but is described as having the characteristics of both a links and desert course. It’s a tough course to really handicap given the variety in in which players have won in the past. We’ve seen players rely on their short game and putting to win but, we’ve also seen bombers off the tee use that distance to win. Despite the different way players have won, one thing remains constant, and that’s a low score needed to win. If any player wants to have a chance here they need to capitalize on every scoring opportunity.

    • Price: 10-1

 

Picks (Outright):

  • Justin Thomas (+1000) – BetMGM

Despite Thomas’ “sub-par” 2021 season, which included a Players Championship, he seems to be trending in the right direction. He’s had some great finishes recently and has some course knowledge competing in this event three times prior. While his finishes haven’t been great, he’s almost due for a win to solidify his spot as one of the worlds best players. He may also have a little extra motivation this week to get a win in front of his mentor/ friend Tiger Woods.

 

  • Sam Burns (+1600) – FanDuel

Sam Burns is one of the hottest golfers on the planet right now and can make a statement here. He won the Sanderson Farms Championship back in October and since then has gone T14, T5, and T7. Burns is 1st in SG: Tee to Green and 4th in SG: Approach. The only downside to betting burns this week is that this is his tournament debut.

 

  • Brooks Koepka (+2500) – DraftKings

Brooks is coming off The Match, where he absolutely man handled Bryson Dechambeau on the golf course. He looked to be in great form and is at 25-1 in a 20 man field?? This line is flat out disrespectful to a guy that has won four majors. He hasn’t done well at this event in the past but maybe now that the Bryson beef is done, maybe he goes on a little bit of a tear?  He has the ability to play these long Par 5’s well and if the drivers working he should set himself up nicely here. His switch to Strixon has seemed to make a positive impact on his iron game which is another encouraging sign.

 

Pick (Top 10):

  • Patrick Reed (+135)- FanDuel

Reed loves this course, he has finished Top 10 in five of his six events at the Albany with the only outlier being an 11th place finish in 2018. I know he’s not in great form but given his previous results and at plus money, it’s hard not to have some action on him.

 

Best of luck, and as always you can find me on Twitter @GatorBetting and Instagram @Gator_Sports_Betting.

NHL Preview & Picks – November 30, 2021

By
Patrick Gates
-

There were originally 9 games scheduled in the NHL tonight but, due to the Islanders having some COVID-19 issues, we’re down to 8 games. Regardless, it’s still a great slate of games with some top tier matchups. The best games of the night are probably the following:

  • Washington Capitals @ Florida Panthers
  • Tampa Bay Lightning @ St. Louis Blues
  • Carolina Hurricanes @ Dallas Stars

I have two plays for tonight, so check ’em out below!

 

San Jose Sharks @ New Jersey Devils

  • Time: 7:00 PM ET
  • TV Coverage: ESPN+
  • San Jose Sharks: 11-9-1, 5th Pacific (6-5-0 Away)
  • New Jersey Devils: 9-6-4, 6th Metropolitan (6-3-2 Home)
Opening ML Current ML Spread Total
San Jose Sharks +110 +125 +1.5 (-190) o5.5 (-120)
New Jersey Devils -130 -145 -1.5 (+170) u5.5 (+100)

 

Trends:

  • The total has gone UNDER in 6 of San Jose’s last 7 games.
  • San Jose are 11-5 SU in their last 16 games against New Jersey.
  • The total has gone OVER in 5 of New Jersey’s last 7 games.
  • New Jersey are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games.

 

San Jose Sharks

The Sharks have had an up and down start to the season but, look to turn things around winning three of their last four. San Jose also recently placed Evander Kane on waivers and will send him to the AHL if he goes unclaimed. Kane has had some issues recently with gambling and domestic assault and it looks like the Sharks are sick of dealing with his off-ice issues.

San Jose will play their second away game of their five game road trip tonight. They’re coming off a 2-0 win on Sunday vs the Blackhawks. This will also be the final game between these two of the season as New Jersey claimed the first in a 3-2 shootout win.

Looking at this Sharks team from an offensive prospective, they haven’t been great. They have the 8th worst Expected Goals % with a 47.8%. The Sharks also rank near the bottom on the league in Goals For Above Expected, with a -3.61 and average only 2.27 Goals For Per 60. Statistically they’re led by Timo Meier who has 20 points in 16 games and tallied the lone two goals in their win on Sunday.

Defensively, they’ve been better with a 2.27 Goals Against Per 60 ranking middle of the road. The Sharks have a -2.07 Goals Against Above Expected which is again, is average. This may be misleading as the star of the show for San Jose has been James Reimer who has kept this team afloat at certain points. Reimer has been confirmed the starter for tonight and has a +6.9 Goals Saved Above Expected in his 13 games played.

New Jersey Devils

The Devils have made their money at home this season capturing six of their nine wins at the Prudential Center. According to New Jersey’s head coach, Lindy Ruff, Jack Hughes is questionable to return tonight from his shoulder injury (Note: Confirmed In). Hughes hasn’t played since mid October and would be a huge addition back to their lineup. Also, Hughes just signed an extension with the Devils for $63 million over 8 years.

Offensively, the Devils have one of the best Goals For Per 60 average with a 2.5. However, they are failing to capitalize on chances as seen in their Goals For Above Expected (-2.74). One area where they struggle is on the Power Play, ranking 30th in the league. Jesper Bratt and Andreas Johnsson lead the team in points with 17 a piece. Bratt is on a four game point streak and Johnsson has six points in his last two games.

New Jersey defensively has been much better with a Goals Against Above Expected that ranks near the top of the league (-8.25). They’re also on averaging 2.18 Goals Against per 60. Like their Power Play, their Penalty Kill has also struggled ranking 21st (80%). Mackenzie Blackwood has also had a good start to the season with a +3.5 Goals Saved Above Expected. He’s expected to get the start tonight but has had a few struggles as of late giving up three or more goals in three of his last five starts.

 

PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS TO WIN IN REGULATION -1/2 (+100)

The Devils have been playing great hockey at home this year and based off Jack Hughes most recent tweet, it looks like he’ll be in the lineup. The moneyline shifted drastically, almost 15 cents which I don’t particularly like so I’ll take them to win in regulation tonight.

 

Tampa Bay Lightning @ St. Louis Blues

  • Time: 8:00 PM ET
  • TV Coverage: ESPN+
  • Tampa Bay Lightning: 12-5-3, 3rd Atlantic (5-2-1 Away)
  • St. Louis Blues: 11-7-3, 2nd Central (6-3-1 Home)
Opening ML Current ML Spread Total
Tampa Bay Lightning +110 +115 +1.5 (-220) o5.5 (-115)
St. Louis Blues -130 -135 -1.5 (+190) u5.5 (-105)

 

Trends:

  • The total has gone OVER in 4 of Tampa Bay’s last 6 games.
  • Tampa Bay are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games.
  • St. Louis are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games.
  • The total has gone OVER in 9 of St. Louis’ last 13 games at home.

 

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Lightning are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday where they were in a tough spot. Tampa did not play well losing the expected goal battle 1.42 to 4.98. Prior to that tough loss, Tampa rattled off three wins in a row that included a 5-4 shoutout win over Minnesota.

Offensively Tampa has looked to have found their groove again averaging 3.57 goals per game in their last 7. They have a 52.57 xGoals % with a -1.08 Goals For Above Expected. Steven Stamkos leads the team in points with 24 through his first 20 games played. He’s also on a four game point streak so he should be a guy you look to target in terms of player props. The Bolts will be without Mathieu Joseph who has been downgraded to doubtful for tonight’s game.

On the opposite side of the puck, Tampa has been good with a -4.06 Goals Against Above Expected. They also rank near the top of the league in Goals Against Per 60 giving up just 2.02. Unlike their Power Play that has struggled due to the injury of Nikita Kucherov, their Penalty Kills ranks 5th in the NHL. While Andrei Vasilevskiy did struggle a bit at the start of the season, he has found his form with a +8.2 Goals Saved Above Expected on the year. However, Brian Elliot has been confirmed the starter which is why the line shifted a bit. Elliot hasn’t been great so far with a -2.7 GSAx through three games.

St. Louis Blues

The Blues are coming off a solid win at home vs the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. They were able to snap a two game road skid where they lost to Detroit and Chicago. St. Louis got off to an incredible start to the season but have seemed to regressed a bit as expected.

Looking at the Blues from an offensive prospective they have been good on the year with a +2.59 Goals For Above Expected. They also rank near the top of the league in Goals For Per 60 with 2.57. One key offensively for them has been the ability to take advantage on special teams with a Power Play ranking 2nd. The Blues may also be without one of their top scorers as David Perron is questionable for tonight.

Defensively, the Blues have also been good with a 2.11 Goals Against per 60 average. They have a -7.24 Goals Against Above expected which ranks 9th. One area that St. Louis needs to clean up is in terms of High Danger Shots Against. They have given up 38 on the year which is near the bottom of the league. Jordan Binnington has been confirmed the starter tonight. He’s been their second best goalie this year in terms of GSAx but still has a +1.0.

 

PICK: OVER 5.5 (-115)

In my power rankings this games a pick em based off each teams recent form. However, with Elliot being confirmed as the starter I don’t really like the Lightning here. A play I was looking at earlier that is now in play is the over. Tampa has been clicking on offense recently and should be able to generate some scoring chances on this St. Louis defense.

 

 

Best of luck, and as always you can find me on Twitter @GatorBetting and Instagram @Gator_Sports_Betting.

The ACC/Big Ten Challenge continues tonight when the Northwestern Wildcats visit the Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The Wildcats are off to 5-1 start after taking it to the Georgia Bulldogs 78-62 last Tuesday in the Legends Classic in Newark while the Demon Deacons will hope to bounce back from its first loss of the season after taking a 75-61 defeat to the LSU Tigers in the Emerald Coach Classic to fall to 6-1 overall. Northwestern enters averaging 81.7 points per game on 48% from the floor while their defense is also playing well and is only giving up 61.3 points per game on 38.7% shooting. Wake Forest has similar numbers as they score 82.7 points per game on 49.6% shooting and are holding opposing offenses to 67 points per game on 41.6% from the field. According to KenPom, Northwestern enters with the 39th best adjusted offensive efficiency and 55th on defense while he Demon Deacons come in owning the 99th best adjusted offensive efficiency and their defense ranks 81st. A major key to the game will be turnovers. Northwestern really takes care of the ball as they rank 7th in the nation in turnover percentage while the Wake Forest offense ranks 202nd in turning over the basketball. Northwestern also taps into their bench more often as spreading out the playing time and are a better free throw shooting team which will come in handy at the end of this one. Take Northwestern +1.5

November 30th CBB Free Play

I started the week off with a 2-1 Monday and will look to add 2 more winners tonight. In addition to this CBB free play, I have added a CBB premium play for my members. Premium plays are hitting at a 64% clip(77-43-1) and have netted my members +47.85u. To become a premium member, visit https://theoddsbreakers.com/membership-account/membership-checkout/?level=9

*CBB(1u): Minnesota -2.5(-110) @ Pittsburgh–6 PM CT

Pittsburgh is one of the worst teams in the Power 5 this season and should be looked against in almost any competitive matchup. KenPom has Pitt ranked as the 199th best team in CBB, sandwiched right in between Lipscomb and Stony Brook. Neither their offensive or defense ranks better than 181st in efficiency, and to top it all off, they move at one of the slowest paces in the country. I’m not all that high on Minnesota given they lost their leading scorer Marcus Carr to the transfer portal, but the Gophers could still be a fringe tournament team this season. You can counter their 5-0 start by saying their hardest matchup to date has been Western Kentucky or Princeton, but given that Pittsburgh is 2-4 with losses to UMBC and the Citadel, let’s not act like this is a major step up in competition for Minnesota. I don’t understand the respect for Pittsburgh here, so I’ll lay the short number with the Gophers.

November 30th CBB Premium Play

By
Michael Fordham
-

Premium Plays: 77-43-1, +47.85u

*CBB(1u): Clemson ML(-115) @ Rutgers–8 PM CT

Not only is Clemson clearly the superior team in this matchup, but this is a revenge spot dating back to last year’s NCAA Tournament. 10-seeded Rutgers knocked off a cold 7-seed Clemson in the first round of the Tournament, but since then, these programs have moved in opposite directions. Rutgers is 3-3 on the season with losses to DePaul, Lafayette, and UMASS; they currently rank 132nd in offensive efficiency. Clemson, on the other hand, is 5-1 with an array of blowout wins as well as a competitive loss to West Virginia. The Tigers showcase a Top 50 defense in the nation that should have their way with Rutgers tonight, but unlike last year’s team, the Clemson offense is also hovering around the Top 50 in offensive efficiency. Clemson is a better basketball team than Rutgers, and given the massive motivational angle, I feel good designating this as a premium play.

How to Bet the Warriors vs. Suns – November 30, 2021

By
Chris R. Farley

Warriors vs. Suns, pictured squaring off in the 2020-2021 season.

 

A huge early season matchup goes down tonight at 10:00pm when the red-hot Golden State Warriors travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns, who have now won a staggering 16 games in a row! Here’s how I would bet this game. Good luck, people!

For my Premium Picks every day (we win, folks!), hit this link!
NFL Circa Picks: 38-21-1
NBA: 74-57 (56%), +25.67 units

This is a marquee game between two titans in the Western Conference. These are also my two highest power rated teams in the NBA, with Golden State slightly ahead of Phoenix by 1.5 points. Because of that, this is an auto-bet for me on Golden State. The Warriors have done nothing but impress since the start of the season. Steph Curry has proven, night in and night out, that not only is he playing the best basketball of his career, but he’s clearly one of the best on-court leaders in the association. Because of Curry and Steve Kerr’s tutelage, Golden State’s young studs have developed fast this year, with contributions from Looney, Wiggins, Poole, Payton II and others standing out as the Warriors look like a very complete and very deep team. The most obvious way to bet this game is to take the Warriors at + money. This is a rare opportunity that you won’t get many times this year, especially not if Golden State continues to play this well on both sides of the hardwood. Golden State plays with a chemistry (cultivated by Curry) that’s hard to measure.

On the other side, the Suns are led by Chris Paul and after a slow start to their season, the Suns have picked up right where they left off last year. Phoenix has now won 16 straight games, catapulting themselves into 2nd place in the West, right under tonight’s opponent. Let’s compare some of the important stats between these two elite teams. In case you haven’t heard, the Suns are nothing to underestimate, either:

  • No team has been more complete than Golden State. The Warriors are #2 in ppg and #1 in points allowed. Phoenix is #4 and #8 in those same categories.
  • Both teams excel in the first QTR on offense. Golden State is ranked 1st, and Phoenix is ranked 5th overall in 1st QTR points. Consider a 1Q over 56.5 or a 1Q GS ML win.
  • Phoenix leads the NBA in shooting percentage, sitting at 48.1% on the year. Guess who’s in 2nd? Yup, the Warriors at 47.9%.
  • No team makes more 3s per game than Golden State (15.2). This could be the difference maker tonight; Phoenix sits at 24th with 11.4 made per game, and they’re not very good at defending the 3, either.
  • Both teams have played strength of schedules in the bottom third of the NBA. But something to note: the Warriors are 4-0 against top 10 teams, winning each of those contests by 14+ points.
  • Golden State is top 10 in 9 different shooting categories on offense and top 10 in 7 different shooting categories on defense. Phoenix is top 10 in 7 shooting categories on offense and 6 shooting categories on defense. Pretty damn good clubs!

A big point of emphasis will be who wins the battle down low. The Suns are one of the best front court teams in the NBA, ranking at 6th overall with 48.5 ppg in the paint. The Warriors are #1 in the NBA defending the paint, allowing only 39.6 ppg to their opponents. I’d look at props for Ayton under P/A/R or under P/R for this contest – points and opportunities won’t come easy against Draymond Green and that lock-down Warriors defense. I would also look at betting a live total (under) in the 2nd half. The Suns are 12th overall in 3rd quarter defense, and no team in the NBA is better in the 2nd half than the Warriors. Golden State ranks #1 in the 3rd and 4th quarters on defense, allowing only 22.8 and 23.4 points, respectively, in those final two 12 minute periods.

No matter how you bet this game, this should be a highly entertaining contest between two of the best players and on-court leaders, two of the sharpest coaches, and two of the most well-balanced teams. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to just sit back and enjoy this without any bets. If you do want to bet it, consider the aforementioned plays. Enjoy the game and good luck, odds-breakers!
