Portland Trail Blazers vs San Antonio Spurs Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

The PNC Championship is probably a golf tournament that you had no idea was being played this week. It is a family affair, literally, at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida.

It seems fitting that a family tournament would take place in a city like Orlando, but this is not at all like a trip to Disney. This will be a fun, lighthearted event, but 36 holes worth of bragging rights and a little bit of prize money is on the line.

The total prize money is $1,085,000 with $200,000 going for the first place team. This is a par 72 course that will play 6,853 yards or so in length.

What makes this year’s event so special is that Charlie Woods, the 11-year-old son of Tiger Woods, who you may have heard of, will be teeing it up with his dad. That is not the only father-son team, but, well, it is the only father-son group with a preteen on the team. Matt Kuchar’s son, Cameron, recently turned 13.

Because minors are playing in this event, it can only be offered with the offshore, online sportsbooks, so you won’t find odds posted in a whole lot of places. Bernhard Langer and his son, Jason Donald, are the reigning champions of this event. Langer is actually a four-time winner of this tournament.

As far as the format goes, each player hits a drive and the best drive is selected. The second shot is played from that drive and both players hit again. That process is repeated until the hole is completed. So we’re basically looking at best-ball on every shot.
<h3><strong>Let’s take a look at some breakdowns of the teams:</strong></h3>
<strong>Justin Thomas &amp; His Dad, Mike – </strong>Mike Thomas was actually a great golfer in his own right at Morehead State and his son is the best current player in the tournament, no offense to Tiger or Bubba Watson. They are the rightful +250 favorites.

<strong>Tiger Woods &amp; His Son, Charlie – </strong>Charlie’s golf swing has gotten rave reviews, especially for his age, but this is a real golf course. Most of Tiger’s shots will be used and he’ll have to be on point with virtually everything. At +650, this is a virtually impossible bet to make, no matter how great the story is.

<strong>John Daly &amp; His Son, Little John – </strong>Not to be confused with Lil Jon. The younger John Daly will start his collegiate career at Arkansas in 2021 and his old man can still hit a few shots and shorten the course off the tee. At +1000, the Daly family isn’t a bad bet to make. Some sources, including Golf Channel, had Little John as the 25th-best incoming freshman in the country.

<strong>Tom Lehman &amp; His Son, Thomas – </strong>Tom Lehman still swings it pretty good and his son Thomas played college golf at Cal Poly. It runs in the family with the Lehmans. Bernhard Langer’s success in this event shows that you don’t necessarily have to hit it a mile to win. This is a dangerous team at +1600.
<h3><strong><u>Picks</u></strong></h3>
You have to take the Langers at +750. Bernhard has won this event too many times and his son is a quality player in his own right.

The Johns of the Daly family at +1000 have to be another look. Those are the two teams I would look to play on, but it’s not like you need to make big bets on this. It’s a fun event and a fun tournament and should make for great viewing.

<p>The Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics continue their American League West regular-season series with a three-game set at Oakland Coliseum, so we’ve prepared the best Rangers vs. A’s betting pick for the opening contest Friday, August 6, with the first pitch at 9:40 PM ET.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Rangers and A’s split their first ten encounters of the season, while Oakland is 12-8 in its last 20 games against Texas. The Athletics are firm -210 favorites for Friday’s showdown, while the Rangers are listed as +192 road dogs with a total of 8.0 runs on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Texas has been awful since the All-Star</strong></h2>



<p>The Texas Rangers are coming off a four-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels, and after a 4-1 victory in the opener, they’ve suffered two straight losses to the Halos, 11-3 and 2-1. Thursday’s closer has been excluded from the analysis (Texas trailed 5-0 in the top of the sixth), but the Rangers remain the worst team in the AL West anyway.</p>



<p>Since the All-Star break, the Rangers have dropped 14 of their 18 contests overall. They’ve scored only 44 runs in the process while posting a horrible .179/.243/.304 slash line. On the other side of the ball, the Rangers have recorded the highest ERA in baseball since July 16 (6.04).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Rangers/status/1423319672607363077
</div></figure>



<p>Mike Foltynewicz will take the hill Friday against the A’s, and the 29-year-old righty has been awful all season long. Folty is 2-10 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 21 starts this term, and over his previous three appearances, Mike has yielded a whopping 17 earned runs across 10.2 innings of work.</p>



<p>Interestingly, Foltynewicz is 1-0 in three starts against Oakland in 2021. He’s allowed seven earned runs on 15 hits (five homers) to the Athletics while posting a 17/7 K/BB ratio across 19.1 innings of work.</p>



<h2><strong>Oakland hopes to take advantage of the hapless Rangers&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Oakland Athletics improved to 61-48 on the season following a 5-4 home victory over the San Diego Padres in ten innings this past Wednesday. It was their fifth win in the last seven outings, as the A’s overcame a 3-1 deficit to split a two-game interleague series against one of the best teams in the majors.</p>



<p>Oakland still holds the second spot in the AL West, three games ahead of Seattle and four and a half behind Houston. The A’s are second in the wild-card race, too, just a couple of games ahead of the Yankees.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Athletics/status/1423052723872702466
</div></figure>



<p>The Athletics are 9-8 since the All-Star break, scoring 67 runs in the process and slashing .236/.315/.383. They’ve registered the second-lowest ERA in the majors over the last three weeks (3.07), while Chris Bassitt will toe the slab Friday against Texas.</p>



<p>Bassitt is 11-3 with a nice 3.28 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 22 starts this season. He’s struggled a bit in July, recording a 4.15 ERA in five starts and allowing a .246 batting average to his opponents, but Bassitt has been exceptional last timeout, firing seven scoreless innings in a 2-0 win at the Angels.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Texas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-14 in the last 18 games overall</li><li>0-11 in the last 11 games on the road</li></ul>



<p><strong>Oakland:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-2 in the last seven games overall</li><li>8-3 in the last 11 home games against Texas</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-texas-rangers-vs-oakland-athletics-pick"><strong>Texas Rangers vs. Oakland Athletics Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Chris Bassitt has owned the Rangers so far this season, earning a win in each of their three dates. The 32-year-old right-hander has yielded only a couple of earned runs in the process (21 frames of work) while posting a 14/5 K/BB ratio.</p>



<p>I’m expecting the A’s to dominate this clash on the mound. Their bullpen has registered a 3.44 ERA over the last couple of weeks. Also, this is a great opportunity for the Athletics’ bats to finally break out of their slump.</p>





<p><strong> </strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>I would stick with the hosts to win, although the odds are not attractive. The totals might be a tricky wager, especially because of the Rangers’ woes on both sides of the ball. The visitors could easily score just one or two runs here, while their pitching will probably have some difficult time even against the struggling Athletics’ lineup.</p>



<p>On the other side, the A’s pitching is working well, and if Chris Bassitt continues to dominate the Rangers, we’ll get a low-scoring affair. Five of the previous eight contests between the Rangers and Athletics went in the under.</p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<p>Another Pac-12 conference duel in the NCAAB is on the schedule for Thursday, February 2, so make sure you don’t miss out on the best Golden Bears vs. Buffaloes betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>California is desperate to avoid the sixth consecutive loss when they visit Colorado at CU Events Center. The Buffaloes are 15-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 130.5 points. These Pac-12 foes have met once this season; the Golden Bears won 80-76 in California.</p>



<p><strong>Golden Bears’ offense was toothless against Stanford</strong></p>



<p>The California Golden Bears (3-18, 8-13-0 ATS) won three of four games in late December and early January but returned to losing way since and now are on a five-game losing skid. The Golden Bears lost both games at home against Oregon and Oregon State and then scored just 46 points in a massive 75-46 defeat to the Stanford Cardinal on the road. Interestingly, it wasn’t a season-low in points for the Golden Bears, who scored 43 in a loss to Utah earlier in the campaign. California was miserable from the field (30.4%) and shot 23.8% from beyond the arc, while the Cardinal were better in both rebounds (47-30) and assists (16-5).</p>



<p>Sophomore forward Sam Alajiki was the only Golden Bear in double figures in this blowout loss. He recorded a double-double of 13 points and a career-high 11 rebounds, which was the first double-double of his career. California’s starters scored just 25 points opposite Stanford’s 48.</p>



<p>G Jalen Celestine (ACL) and G Jarred Hyder (back) are out indefinitely. G Devin Askew (undisclosed) is questionable to face Colorado on Thursday.</p>



<p><strong>Buffaloes returned from Oregon with a couple of losses</strong></p>



<p>The Colorado Buffaloes (12-11, 8-14-1 ATS) are going through their worst period of the season after losing five of the previous six games. The Buffaloes managed to snap a three-game losing skid with a tight home victory over Washington State but then lost both games in Oregon against the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers. Colorado scored a season-low 52 points in a 60-52 defeat to the Beavers as they shot 35.0% from the floor and made only three free throws opposite Oregon State’s 17.</p>



<p>Junior forward Tristan da Silva led the Buffaloes with a double-double of a game-high 22 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. It was da Silva’s second double-double of his career, but that didn’t help his team to avoid a loss. J’Vonne Hadley added 11 points and seven boards.</p>



<p>G Javon Ruffin has missed the last four games with a knee injury, and it is unclear if he will play Thursday versus California.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>California</strong>:</p>



<ul>
<li>1-4 ATS in the last five games</li>



<li>2-4 ATS in the last six games against the Pac-12 conference rivals</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Colorado:</strong></p>



<ul>
<li>4-1 ATS in the last five games played in February</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>California Golden Bears vs. Colorado Buffaloes Pick</strong></p>



<p>California is still without a road win this year and I don’t think they will get one here because Colorado will be looking for revenge after the Golden Bears beat the Buffaloes on the first day of 2023. That loss snapped Colorado’s brightest period of the campaign as they were on a five-game winning streak, so I expect the Buffaloes to defeat the Golden Bears with a big margin here. Colorado has a better offense that averages 71.2 points per game, while California scores 60.2 ppg, one of the weakest offenses in college basketball.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Buffaloes at -13.5 (-130)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>The Golden Bears do have a very weak and inefficient offense, but they did score 80 against Colorado a month ago. I don’t think that’s going to happen again on Thursday, but I am surely expecting the visitors to score around 60. Colorado’s offense is not great lately, which is the main reason for the Buffaloes’ struggles. However, I am backing the hosts to score at least 70 points against California. The total has gone Over in five of Colorado's last seven games against California.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 129.5 points (-120)</p>

George Mason Patriots vs Saint Joseph's Hawks Betting Pick & Prediction 1/31/24

<p>One of the biggest days of horse racing action before the Triple Crown gets underway is staged at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, as two massive Grade 1s are staged in Florida.</p>



<p>The action on the turf has all the makings of being a classic, with a talented field set to line up in the Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational. But, which runner will come out on top over the 1 1/8 mile distance?</p>



<p><strong><em><a href="/s/betus/">Bet on the Pegasus World Cup at BetUS!</a></em></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-race-history-amp-records">Race History &amp; Records</h2>



<p>The Pegasus World Cup Turf has been one of the standout races on the U.S. calendar since it was introduced as the Gulfstream Park Breeder’s Cup handicap in 1986.</p>



<p>Horses aged four and older are eligible to race in the Grade 1, and it has been run in its current format since the introduction of the Pegasus World Cup in 2019. Einstein and Colonel Liam are the only two-time winners of the race, while William Mott is the leading trainer with five victories. Irad Ortiz has been aboard the winner in each of the last three editions of the Pegasus World Cup Turf.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pegasus-world-cup-turf-leading-contenders">Pegasus World Cup Turf Leading Contenders</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-warm-heart">Warm Heart</h3>



<p>There will be European raiders in the field this weekend, and based on the form lines, it could be incredibly challenging to overlook Aidan O’Brien’s Warm Heart. The four-year-old was sensational throughout last season, winning in Grade 1 company over a mile and a half in both the G1 Yorkshire Oaks and G1 Prix Vermeille.</p>



<p>She was unfortunate at the Breeders’ Cup in November, as she was beaten on the line by Inspiral in the Filly &amp; Mare Turf. Warm Heart was once again in solid order when third in the G1 Hong Kong Vase, and if at her best this weekend, she should be very hard to overlook.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-integration">Integration</h3>



<p>Integration is the runner for Claude McGaughey III this weekend, and he could be the big danger to the market leader based on the odds available. The four-year-old has won on each of his three starts over turf, including most recently when producing a stunning effort to beat I’m Very Busy in the G2 Hill Prince over 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct.</p>



<p>He has won twice on the distance, and has achieved speed ratings of 103 on both efforts. More will be needed on his first start in Grade 1 company this weekend, but he appears incredibly progressive.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-webslinger">Webslinger</h3>



<p>Mark Casse will run Webslinger in the Pegasus World Cup Turf this weekend. The four-year-old has been extremely competitive in graded company on the turf, finishing in the top three in each of his previous three starts.</p>



<p>He produced a career-best effort when finishing second over 1 1/8 miles in the G1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar last season, scoring a speed rating of 105. Webslinger is a very likable runner at this level, and he could be a solid play for exotics this weekend.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pegasus-world-cup-turf-prediction">Pegasus World Cup Turf Prediction</h2>



<p>Warm Heart is considerably the classiest horse in this field, and she will take an awful lot of beating if repeating the form that she showed when winning Grade 1s in the UK and France last year.</p>



<p>Webslinger looks a solid play for exotics, while Adhamo could outrun his odds for Chad Brown stepping back up to 1 1/8 miles for the first time since finishing a close third in the G1 Turf Classic Stakes at Churchill Downs in 2022.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Warm Heart (+165)</strong> <strong><a href="/s/betus/">AT BETUS</a></strong></p>



<p><strong>Trifecta Box: (9) Warm Heart/ (5) Webslinger/ (7) Adhamo</strong></p>

One of the more thrilling games of the 2020 college football season took place in early November, as the Clemson Tigers (9-1 SU, 4-6 ATS) suffered their only loss of the year to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-0 SU, 5-5 ATS). Dabo Swinney's squad would like to put an asterisk on that one, although it isn't possible.

But they have a chance at some payback as they get the rematch with even bigger things at stake. The ACC Championship will be on the line when these clubs meet on Saturday at 4 PM ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

<a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customers can watch the game and place wagers on it at the same time as they access what is available through Sports Betting Prime.

Let's travel back to November 7. Trevor Lawrence, the clear Heisman Trophy front-runner and likely #1 pick in the NFL Draft, was missing after a COVID diagnosis. Clemson had to go with freshman DJ Uiagaleilei, who actually carved up the Irish secondary to the tune of 439 yards. The problem was that Notre Dame was having its own field day against the Tigers' defense.

Ian Book directed an offense that had 518 net yards, and established his own Heisman candidacy. But even with that, Clemson led by a touchdown with 2:10 left. Then there were mistakes in clock management on the part of Swinney, which gave Notre Dame just enough to time to go 91 yards down the field to tie it up, go into overtime, and win from there.

Second-ranked Notre Dame currently sports a 16-game winning streak. Almost their entire schedule consisted of ACC opponents; they decided to join the conference for football under these special circumstances. If they don't win this conference title game, there exists the question as to whether they would still be invited into the four-team playoff. And that would be a step up from their appearance in last year's Campus World Bowl.

In the college football odds posted on this ACC Championship game at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, Clemson is a double-digit favorite:

<strong>Clemson Tigers -10.5</strong>
<strong>Notre Dame Fighting Irish +10.5</strong>

<strong>Over 60 Points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 60 Points -110</strong>

Notre Dame will represent a challenge to Clemson's defensive front. Their ground game is formidable, averaging 235 yards a game. And they can throw a lot of weaponry at opponents. Aside from Book 's 465 rushing yards, they can call upon the likes of Kyren Williams (1011 yards, 5.6 ypc), Chris Tyree (459 yds., 6.9 ypc) and C'Bo Flemister (5.4 ypc, but questionable for this game). They also have one of the two or three best offensive lines in the country.

Without dynamic receivers, Book's options are sometimes limited. But he has thrown only two interceptions in 286 attempts, under the direction of offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, himself a former Irish quarterback.

Because of time missed, Lawrence isn't likely to win the Heisman. But that doesn't mean he lacks numbers. His 69% accuracy rate, 9.7 yards an attempt and 20-3 TD-INT ratio are all outstanding. And the defense has credentials, obviously; the Tigers have surrendered just 51.6% completions and 2.9 yards a carry.

It would be easy to have the reaction that with Lawrence in the lineup, Clemson might just roll over Notre Dame. After all, they have won the last three ACC title games by an average margin of 47-10. But you know, they didn't lose a whole lot with Uiagaleilei, who threw the ball 116 times without an interception. Besides, what did that have to do with a defense that gave up over 500 yards?

Lawrence did a lot less damage running the ball this year than last (121 yards). And Travis Etienne, who averaged a whopping 7.8 yards per carry last year, came down closer to earth this season (5.1 ypc), although he may still be the first running back taken in the draft. Actually, Clemson did very little business on the ground in the first meeting, as the Irish are pretty stout up front.

Lock has proven his mettle; Notre Dame is more than solid enough on both interior lines, and while this Clemson edition might not be as good as we've seen in recent years, Brian Kelly thinks this may be his best Irish team yet. They can hang in here, so we're going to take the points.
