Clemson Tigers vs Louisville Cardinals NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/7/25

The FedEx Cup Playoffs begin this week at TPC Boston with The Northern Trust. TPC Boston used to be the host site for the Dell Technologies Championship / Deutsche Bank Championship, but it will be the course for The Northern Trust this year, which traditionally floats around to different courses across the country.

The top 125 in the FedEx Cup Playoffs are eligible for this event, but not all of them will play. The field will be cut down to 70 for next week’s BMW Championship and then 30 for the TOUR Championship at the end of the season. Surprisingly, all 125 players have committed to this event, so nobody, barring a withdrawal, will sit out in anticipation of going to Medinah next week for the BMW Championship.

We’ll pull the odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie"><strong>MyBookie Sportsbook</strong></a> and list the entire field down below the body of the article. We’ll cite odds on the players as we go throughout the handicap of the event.
<h3><strong><u>The Field</u></strong></h3>
Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas opened up as co-favorites at MyBookie at +1200. Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm were co-second favorites at +1400. Dustin Johnson was +1600 and Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa both checked in at +2000. There aren’t many notable players missing from the field, even though there are some guys that are not necessarily worried about accumulating points.

The fact that 2,000 FedEx Cup points go to the winner should be incentive enough, given that a $10 million prize is waiting at the end of the TOUR Championship. Guys like Jason Day, Webb Simpson, and Brooks Koepka are all at +2500 and Patrick Reed and Tony Finau are +2800.

With no players opting out and no withdrawals, at least to this point, this is obviously a who’s who type of field for this week, so all of the stars will be on hand.
<h3><strong><u>Course Profile</u></strong></h3>
Remember, if you are looking for horse for course guys, which we’ll do shortly, this course has held the Dell Technologies Championship and Deutsche Bank Championship since 2003. This is a long par 71 coming in well over 7,300 yards.

The varied setup of this course has brought a variety of different skills into play. Two years ago, this course was big on strokes gained approach. The year prior, the greens were fast and feisty and putting was a huge part of the equation, as well as strokes gained around the green. In 2016, the angles with the tee boxes led to more emphasis on strokes gained off-the-tee.

This is a course that plays different every year and the rough can certainly be penal, especially around the greens with errant approach shots. There can also be a lot of indecision here. Some holes leave players with the choice of driver or wood off the tee. That could benefit the longer hitters, seeing as how Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, and Rickie Fowler have been the last four winners. Rory has actually won twice. Remember, this course used to hold an event that was restricted to the top 100 players. It will be the top 125 this year.
<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
This is our horse for course section. Not surprisingly, given the stakes, a lot of guys have played well here. Rory McIlroy (+1400) is probably the main starting point with wins in 2012 and 2016 to go along with a fifth in 2014 and a 12th in 2018. It’s an even-numbered year, so he’ll probably run well.

Patrick Reed (+2800) was sixth in 2017, fifth in 2016, and fourth in 2015. He was 35th here two years ago. Reed has three top-15 finishes in his last four events overall. The other guy at +2800, Tony Finau, was fourth last year. He’s also finished in the top 10 in three of his last four events this season.

Webb Simpson did win here back in 2011. He’s in great current form with three top-10 finishes and a 12th in his last six events, but has finished outside the top 40 at TPC Boston in his last four tries. He’s +2500 with Brooks Koepka, who was 12th two years ago and 18th three years ago. Jason Day is also +2500 with four top-seven finishes in his last four starts.

Bryson DeChambeau is the reigning champ and Justin Thomas won in 2017 and was 24th two years ago. They’re the co-favorites, as mentioned earlier. Dustin Johnson, also among the short prices, has four top-10 finishes at TPC Boston since 2009.

Some other horse for course angles at bigger prices include Justin Rose at +5000. He was runner-up two years ago and 10th in 2018. He also finished ninth two weeks ago before missing the cut last week.

Jordan Spieth is +7000 with a runner-up in 2017, a fourth in 2013, and three other finishes inside the top 30 in his six starts here. He is not in great current form, though.

Hideki Matsuyama is +4000 with four straight top-25 finishes here, including a fourth in 2018. Paul Casey is +4500 with a 21st, a fourth, and a second in his last three starts in Boston.

Lastly, Louis Oosthuizen is +7000. had three top-15 finishes in three starts in 2012, 2015, and 2016 before finishing 31st and 30th the last two times at TPC Boston in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
<h3><strong><u>Stats Handicap</u></strong></h3>
This course was not in the rotation last year and it’s fair to wonder how much the recent course form matters at all as a result. Many would say it’s fair to wonder that every week.

Xander Schauffele did not play last week’s Wyndham Championship, but he’s finished 10th, sixth, 13th, and 14th in his last four events. The price tag keeps dwindling at 20/1, but he’s definitely on the cusp of getting a huge win soon. It might be tough to play him this week because he hasn’t gotten over that hump and this is a top-notch field, but his recent form is as good as anyone’s.

How about Kevin Kisner this week at +6600? Kisner was third last week at the Wyndham Championship. He rolled it well. He was tied for 10th in SG: Tee-to-Green and sixth in SG: Approach. He was in the top 20 two weeks ago at the PGA Championship, coming in 14th in SG: Approach per DataGolf. He is consistently one of the better putters on the PGA Tour, but he’s also played well with the irons, so he could be a good fit for any setup on this course.
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/mybookie"><span class="td_btn td_btn_lg td_3D_btn" style="background-color: #339966;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">KEVIN KISNER IS THIS WEEK'S LONG SHOT AT 66/1!</span></span></a></p>
Casey looks to be worth a play at +4500 as well. He was second in SG: T2G at the PGA Championship and really struck the irons well on approach. He didn’t do anything notably well last week at the Wyndham, but finished T-31st. He certainly appeared to make adjustments after a poor showing at TPC Southwind. If course form matters here this weekend, he’s played really well at TPC Boston.

It would be hard to leave Collin Morikawa off the card this week, even at just 20/1. Morikawa has won two of the last four events he has played and can lay claim to being the best iron player on the PGA Tour. He’s never started here, but he paired his elite iron play with the lead in SG: Putting at the PGA Championship. Even when he doesn’t play at his best, like the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, he still tied for 20th, despite being a minor negative in SG: ARG.
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/mybookie"><span class="td_btn td_btn_lg td_3D_btn" style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #339966;">PLAY SUPERSTAR COLLIN MORIKAWA AT 20/1 AT MYBOOKIE!</span></a></p>
Daniel Berger is also very interesting at +3300. He’s a great ball striker and he’s got a win, a second, and a third to go along with a 13th in his five events since the restart. Berger’s best finish at TPC Boston was 12th in his first start, but he’s a guy that has the opportunity to win anywhere. He was sixth in SG: T2G at the PGA Championship and eighth in the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/mybookie"><span class="td_btn td_btn_lg td_3D_btn" style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #339966;">BET DANIEL BERGER AT 33/1 AT MYBOOKIE SPORTSBOOK!</span></a></p>
One more long-ish price is Scottie Scheffler at +6000. Scheffler skipped last week at the Wyndham, but was fourth at the PGA, 15th at the St. Jude, and 22nd at the Memorial. Something happened with his game between the Memorial and Workday Charity Open and he’s looked great in SG: T2G in his last several events.

It is really hard to take long shots in fields this exceptional because a lot of great players have to falter or not be great enough for the long shots to sneak in there. Kisner at 66/1 or Scheffler at 60/1 may be as low as you want to go. Jim Herman last week was very much the exception and not the norm.
<h3><strong><u>Picks</u></strong></h3>
I may regret it, but I’m going to take Collin Morikawa at +2000 instead of Xander Schauffele. Daniel Berger at +3300 is too good to pass up with his recent form. Kevin Kisner at +6600 and Paul Casey at +4500 also makes the card. Scheffler’s putting concerns are just enough to keep him off the card.

Coverage of The Northern Trust will be on Golf Channel and CBS throughout the event.

2020 The Northern Trust Golf Betting Odds & Picks

Bell MTS Place is playing host to an intriguing matchup as the Winnipeg Jets take on the visiting Washington Capitals. It's the last time that the two clubs will meet in the regular season. NBC Sports Washington will air this East-West matchup, and the opening face-off is at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 27.
<h2>Washington Capitals at Winnipeg Jets Odds</h2>
With a moneyline of -145, Washington comes into the contest as the heavy favorite. The line for Winnipeg now stands at +125 and oddsmakers have set the Over/Under (O/U) at 7 goals (-120 money on the over, +100 on the under).

Washington is 39-24 straight up (SU) and has earned moneyline bettors 1.6 units this year. Through 63 regular season matches, 39 of its games have gone over the total, while 22 have gone under and just two have pushed. This 2019-20 Capitals team is 21-10 SU on the road.

Washington has converted on 20.3 percent of its power play chances this year, a mark that's right around league average. On the other hand, it has the fourth-best penalty kill in the league, and the team's successfully killed off 83.7 percent of all penalties.

For the team as a whole, Washington has been sent to the penalty box 4.1 times per game this season, and 3.2 per game over its last five road outings. The team's been forced to defend opponent power plays just 8.3 minutes per game over their last 10 outings.

Boasting a .897 save percentage and 25.7 saves per game, Braden Holtby (24-20-5) has been the primary option in goal for Washington this year. If Washington decides to rest him, however, head coach Todd Reirden could go with Ilya Samsonov (16-8-1), who has a .916 save percentage and 2.41 goals against average this year.

John Carlson and Alex Ovechkin will both lead the offensive attack for the visiting Capitals. Carlson (72 points) is up to 15 goals and 57 assists, and has recorded multiple points in 23 different games. Ovechkin has 43 goals and 17 assists to his name (and has notched a point in 35 games).

On the other side of the rink, Winnipeg is 32-33 straight up (SU) and has netted 1.4 units for moneyline bettors this year. Through 65 regular season matches, 34 of its games have gone under the total, while 29 have gone over and just two have pushed. It's 16-17 SU at home this year.

Winnipeg has converted on 20.1 percent of its power play chances this year, a figure that's right around league average. On the other hand, its penalty kill is ranked 25th overall, and it's successfully killed off 77.3 percent of all opponent power plays.
