<p>The 2024 Canadian Open, or National Bank Open for sponsorship purposes, is an ATP/WTA 1000 tournament taking place in two major Canadian cities. The women's draw is in Toronto and the men's draw is in Montreal. It's one of the oldest tournaments in the world and, as a mandatory 1000 event, has a loaded field with the majority of the world's top players, minus Olympic gold medal final participants Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There have also been a few delays due to weather, so there are still some Round of 32 matches to be played as of Friday. Here's a look at what to expect for the remainder of the tournament this weekend.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ATP National Bank Open Outright Odds</h2>



<p>Jannik Sinner -138</p>



<p>Alexander Zverev +450</p>



<p>Andrey Rublev +1100</p>



<p>Grigor Dimitrov +1400</p>



<p>Holger Rune +1800</p>



<p>Taylor Fritz +1800</p>



<p>Casper Ruud +2000</p>



<p>Alejandro Davidovich Fokina +2500</p>



<p>Hubert Hurkacz +2800</p>



<p>Nuno Borges +2800</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Rounds Recap</h2>



<p>Defending champion Jannik Sinner made quick work of his second-round opponent Borna Coric, beating him 6-2, 6-4, and now faces Alejandro Tabilo in the third round. Other top seeds like Alexander Zverev, Casper Ruud, and Andrey Rublev are into the Round of 16, although there have been a few notable upsets already.</p>



<p>Daniil Medvedev, the third seed, lost in three sets to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, while eighth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas lost in the second round to Kei Nishikori, who used a protected ranking to enter the draw. Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who finished fourth in the Olympics, also lost his opening match in Toronto. Americans Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton are also out.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Matches</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alexander Zverev (-305) vs. Holger Rune (+230)</h3>



<p>Holger Rune is a young player who has been on the cusp of winning major tournaments for more than a year now, but hasn't been able to establish himself on the same level as players like his opponent Alexander Zverev, Sinner, and Alcaraz. There's a real opportunity for an upset in this match, however, as Zverev has rarely taken time off this season and should start feeling fatigued at some point.</p>



<p>Zverev, however, looked dominant in his 6-1, 6-1 win over Jordan Thompson. Rune survived a first-round scare against Roberto Bautista Agut and followed that up with an impressive 6-1, 6-3 win over Pablo Carreno Busta. Rune is 1-1 in two career matches against Zverev but they have never played on hard courts, where Rune is 12-5 this year after going just 10-10 last year and 8-9 the year prior.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brandon Nakashima (+150) vs. Andrey Rublev (-180)</h3>



<p>Rublev has had some frustrating moments this year, but he is better than what the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/">odds</a> for this match suggest and should prevail against Brandon Nakashima. The American beat Rublev earlier this season on clay courts, but Rublev beat Nakashima 6-2, 6-1 in their only meeting on hard courts. They're both 16-6 on hard courts this season, although Rublev has victories over better players. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Prediction</h2>



<p>It's hard to see anyone but Sinner winning in Toronto. He's the defending champion, has only lost one match this year against players not named Carlos Alcaraz, and has a favorable <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">draw</a> with Rublev/Nakashima as potential quarter-final opponents and one of Davidovich Fokina/Matteo Arnaldi/Nuno Borges/Nishikori in the semis. Rune is a good pick to win the bottom half of the bracket, but he won't be able to contend with Sinner.</p>



<p>Pick: Sinner def. Rune</p>

Buffalo Sabres vs Boston Bruins Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

Two schools that like to focus on their running games, Fighting Illini (-10) are set to host their in-conference nemesis Northwestern Wildcats in Illinois. This daytime game is scheduled to kick off at 12:00 p.m. ET and FS1 will televise the action.
<h2>Northwestern at Illinois Betting Odds 11/30/2019</h2>
The spread for this Big 10 game is sitting at 10 points in favor of Illinois. The Wildcats are currently getting +300 moneyline odds while the Fighting Illini are -400. The over/under has been set at 44 points. There should be some solid in-game betting opportunities for this match.

This game's line opened at -11, while the total hasn't changed after it was set initially at 44.

The Wildcats are 2-9 straight up (SU), including 0-8 SU against Big 10 opponents. The Fighting Illini are 6-5 SU overall and 4-4 SU in conference play. The underwhelming Wildcats are 3-7-1 against the spread (ATS) and are down 6.0 units this season. They've been a good under bet and have recorded an O/U mark of 4-7.

The surprising Fighting Illini are up 5.2 units this year. They're 8-3 ATS and also have an O/U record of 4-7.

The Wildcats dropped one to Minnesota 38-22 in a game where their defense allowed the Golden Gophers to run for 212 yards on 39 rush attempts, along with one rushing TD. Tyler Johnson had a productive day for the Golden Gophers in that one with 125 yards and a score on seven catches. Offensively, Andrew Marty completed eight passes on 10 attempts for only 95 yards and one touchdown. Marty (52 yards on 16 rush attempts, two TDs) also led the running attack and was complemented by Evan Hull (51 yards on 14 carries) in the loss. Riley Lees (three receptions, 53 yards) and Malik Washington (one catch, 11 yards) shared the receiving duties.

Illinois just lost a 19-10 game to Iowa. The defensive secondary allowed the Hawkeyes to air it out for 308 yards. Ihmir Smith-Marsette had a good showing in the win for Iowa, recording 121 yards on four catches. For Illinois, Brandon Peters completed 16-of-31 passes for 125 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Dre Brown (67 yards on 14 rush attempts) and the signal-caller Peters (76 yards on 10 carries) mounted the ground attack in the defeat as Josh Imatorbhebhe (four receptions, 36 yards) and Justice Williams (four catches, 24 yards) led the pass-catching corps.

Northwestern's run the ball on 60.6 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Illinois has a rush percentage of 58.4 percent. The Wildcats have produced 162 rush yards/game (including 135 per game versus Big Ten opponents) and have 14 scores via handoffs this year. The Fighting Illini are averaging 154 rushing yards per contest (149 in conference) and have 17 total rush TDs.

The Wildcats have logged 123 yards/contest through the air overall (124 per game versus conference opposition) and have five passing TDs so far. The Fighting Illini have produced 180 pass yards per game (157.5 against Big 10 foes) and have 18 total pass scores.

Northwestern should hold an advantage in both areas of the defense. The team has allowed opponents to rush for an average of 148 yards and pass for 204 yards per game. Illinois has allowed 185.5 rushing yards per game and 221.9 to opponents in the air. Both teams allow similar adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) to opponents, as the Wildcats have given up an ANY/A of 6.16 to opposing QBs, while the Fighting Illini are yielding an ANY/A of 6.4.

Marty has put up 95 pass yards this season, and has connected on 8-of-12 attempts with one passing touchdowns and one interception. Marty's got a 5.83 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number is 11.50 over the past two outings.

Look for a balanced attack offensively from Northwestern in this one. Evan Hull (66 rushing yards this season), Riley Lees (307 receiving yards, one receiving TD) and Andrew Marty (70 rush yards, two rush TDs, 0 receiving yards) have each played significant roles recently.

In the other huddle, Brandon Peters has produced 1,242 yards, 14 TDs and six INTs. Peters' ANY/A stands at 5.11 for the year and 5.34 across his last two games.

We're thinking the Fighting Illini will maintain game flow by putting the ball in the hands of their running backs. In addition to Josh Imatorbhebhe (456 receiving yards, seven receiving TDs this season), Dre Brown (509 rush yards, four rush TDs) and Reggie Corbin (615 rush yards, five rush TDs) have delivered significant production to the Fighting Illini's recent offensive gameplans.

These two teams met last year with the final outcome being a 24-16 win for Northwestern.

Northwestern at Illinois College Football Betting Pick 11/30/19

<p>The Claret Jug is waiting for its next recipient and what a long wait it has been. The wait hasn’t bothered Shane Lowry, who won the 2019 Open Championship in a very emotional scene for the Irishman at Royal Portrush.</p>



<p>The focus is now on Royal St. George’s where the 2021 British Open will take place. COVID-19 has already had an impact on the field for this one, as we’ve seen several withdrawals, including Zach Johnson, Matthew Wolff, and Bubba Watson.</p>



<p>Odds have been up for this one for a long time, as the odds are always up early for major tournaments. We’ll grab them from <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/mybookie">MyBookie Sportsbook</a></strong> for the event and see if we can pick out the winner of the fourth and final major of the 2020-21 PGA Tour season.</p>



<h2 id="h-2021-british-open-betting-odds"><strong><u>2021 British Open Betting Odds</u></strong></h2>



<p>The players will be aiming for a piece of the $11.5 million prize purse and first place is worth over $2 million for the first time ever. We’ll put the betting odds down below the body of the article with so many players in the field.</p>



<p>Jon Rahm is the +800 favorite, with Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, and Jordan Spieth all at +1800. Dustin Johnson is +2000. Nobody else is lower than +3000. You know how it goes with majors. You have to beat the best of the best to win. You might be a few of them, but topping all of them is not easy.</p>



<p>Because of the strength of this field, we wind up with some great players at really good numbers, like Collin Morikawa at +3500, Patrick Reed at +4000, Justin Rose at +5500, Webb Simpson at +7000, and a guy like Corey Conners all the way up at +12500.</p>



<h2 id="h-royal-st-george-s-golf-club"><strong><u>Royal St. George’s Golf Club</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Open Championship is at Royal St. George’s for the first time since 2011. It will play as a par 70 of 7,211 yards, as it has been lengthened a little bit since the last visit. This is your typical British Open layout. Open, treeless, windy, bumpy, and full of bunkers.</p>



<p>It takes a lot of luck to win a golf tournament, but with all of the undulations and hills on the course, an extra element of luck would help this week. Bad bounces could spin balls into bunkers. Guys will be hitting with the ball below their feet and above their feet.</p>



<p>Open Championships are notorious for bad weather conditions and really thick fescue. To be safe, you probably want to try to find guys with low ball flights that will hit fairways and greens as often as possible.</p>



<h2 id="h-yay-or-neigh"><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h2>



<p>Well, course form data is virtually non-existent here. Most of the favorites and the world’s top players were not in the field back in 2011. Even Tiger Woods won’t be here.</p>



<p>There are a few things we can put under this heading, though. This is a links golf course and there are some players that just play better at those than others. Naturally we have a lot of European Tour influence in this field, so guys like Tommy Fleetwood, Matthew Fitzpatrick, and Henrik Stenson come up a lot as having success on courses like this.</p>



<p>Major championship events are also a good barometer. Those courses have the toughest setups of any during the season. Guys that play well in majors, like Patrick Reed, Jon Rahm, Harris English, Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, and the like are all guys that should be under consideration this week.</p>



<p>These links courses are so much different from what we regularly see with the PGA Tour, where the world’s best players often play.</p>



<p>Speaking of links, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship event is a good one to compare with, an event won by Tyrrell Hatton twice recently and also Victor Perez this year. Harbour Town Golf Links in the U.S. isn’t a bad comp down in Sea Island, GA. A few players, including Harris English, are residents in that area, so they’ve been exposed more to courses like this.</p>



<h2 id="h-recent-form"><strong><u>Recent Form</u></strong></h2>



<p>Even recent form this week is limited in its value because the John Deere Classic, Travelers Championship, and Rocket Mortgage Classic are played on easy courses and simple layouts. English did win the Travelers, though, so he’s in good recent form. Jon Rahm won the U.S. Open and would have won the Memorial, too.</p>



<p>Last week’s Scottish Open is a pretty good benchmark of what to look for as well. While Min Woo Kim won, Matthew Fitzpatrick was second. Ian Poulter was fourth along with Ryan Palmer. Rahm was seventh, with Justin Thomas eighth and Xander Schafuffele 10th. Scheffler was 12th.</p>



<p>The guys that played at Renaissance Club last week should be at an advantage, especially with some of the travel woes and charter issues that PGA Tour players have had. Also, any links golf experience is good to have.</p>



<h2 id="h-2021-british-open-picks"><strong><u>2021 British Open Picks</u></strong></h2>



<p>There are two short prices to really like this week. The first is Dustin Johnson at +2000. Maybe DJ isn’t in the greatest form, but he remains the best player on tour at manipulating the golf ball to get the shot shape that he wants. On an unpredictable track like this, that skill is enormous.</p>



<p>Another one is Viktor Hovland at +3000. The question is whether or not Hovland can putt well enough. Another question could very well be whether or not he can stare down the leaderboard on Sunday and win easily the biggest tournament of his life. As far as his game goes, he is ninth in SG: Total on the PGA Tour this season in 54 measured rounds and fourth in birdies per round in the European Tour. He’s also top-five in Par 4 Scoring and top-10 in Par 5 scoring. He’s played 21 rounds across the pond.</p>



<p>Webb Simpson at 70/1 is a good bet as well. He’s first in Sand Save%, a stat that will likely come in handy here. He’s top 20 in driving accuracy and top 30 in GIR. He is not in good recent form, hence the big price, but seems to have a good skill set for playing well here. He has five top-10 finishes in majors over the last four years.</p>



<p>Lots of betting options this week, but just remember that this tournament starts very early Thursday morning, so you’ll have to have everything in basically by Wednesday night.</p>
