<p>After taking a weekend off, there will be some action on the PGA Tour again this weekend. While many of the biggest names are not going to be competing this weekend, there will still be some great players that are teeing it up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is going to be a chance for some other players to pick up a win that don’t usually win, and players want to get some momentum for bigger tournaments later on in the year. Betting odds have been set ahead of this event, and now is the perfect time to make some wagers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at the betting odds to win the Procore Championship, and a pick that should be made.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong><em><a href="/s/betdsi">BET ON THE PROCORE CHAMPIONSHIP AT BETDSI AND GET OUR TOP BONUS OFFER!</a></em></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three in the Mix</h2>



<p>When looking at the betting odds to win the Procore Championship, there are three players that appear to be clearly in the lead. Betting on the favorites is not always a great option when it comes to PGA events, but the three favorites are in that position for a reason.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Wyndham Clark and Sahith Theegala are the two clear betting favorites to win the tournament this weekend as each player is sitting at +1200 when looking at the odds. There are typically players with much better odds for PGA Tournament events, but that’s not the case in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Corey Conners is next on the list at +1400 to win the Procore Championship, and he is looking to take the next step this season. He is a player that has had some success on the PGA Tour, but at some point he is going to be trying to pick up some wins.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best of the Rest</h2>



<p>Even though there is a big gap between the top three players and the rest of the field, it would be foolish to ignore other players. There are actually some very talented players looking to tee it up this weekend, and some big names to keep in mind.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Max Homa is coming into this event at +2000, and Luke Clanton has those same odds. It’s interesting to see Clanton with those odds, but Homa is a player that is capable of winning each weekend.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Min Woo Lee and Maverick McNealy could also win this event, and they are sitting at +2200 to win this weekend. Here are some of the other names to keep an eye on:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Keith Mitchell +3000</li>



<li>J.J. Spaun +3500</li>



<li>Tome Hoge +4000</li>



<li>Brendon Todd +4000</li>



<li>Patrick Rodgers +4000</li>
</ul>



<p><em><a href="/s/betdsi">Odds courtesy of BetDSI!</a></em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time to Make a Pick</h2>



<p>There is going to be a great chance to cash in this weekend, as even the top betting favorites are going to come with some value. Insead of betting on the biggest names, it’s a much better idea to look a bit further down the odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It’s interesting to see Max Homa in a position of being an underdog this weekend, especially since he is such a good player. Now is the perfect time to strike though, and <a href="/s/betdsi">betting on him at +2000</a> to win the Procore Championship is the bet to make. </p>

Pardon the pun, but it's a pretty good "bet" that you aren't going to find a gaming establishment with better promotions than <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline</strong></a>, or more OF them. And what distinguishes them from most of the crowd is that they tailor these promotions not only to draw new customers in, but also to keep the existing customers happy.

So while other casinos give you a bonus for signing up and then leave you on your own, BetOnline gives you bonuses that keep on giving.

It sounds hard, doesn't it? Relax; it's not a stern physical test - it certainly doesn't involve any running, swimming or bike riding. What it entails is some extended play on your behalf. You would be engaged in five days of play in the casino (each with a $1,000 turnover) during the space of a month. That earns you a ticket that gets you entered into a random draw. And for every five days you play, you'll receive an extra ticket as well.

You definitely want more and more tickets, because that will give you the chance for better odds when the random draw takes place.

UCF Knights vs Texas Longhorns Betting Pick & Prediction 1/17/24

<p>After an international stop in Abu Dhabi, the UFC will return to Las Vegas this weekend for another Fight Night. 2024 has been the best year of UFC action on record, and that is a trend that is going to continue throughout the rest of the year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There will be some excellent battles taking place this weekend, and that should lead to a ton of excitement. Not only that, but there will also be some excellent betting odds to check out from the top bouts.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here is a look at some of the top odds to check out, and the <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">bets</a> that should be made on the biggest UFC fights of the night. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spivac-Tybura 2</h2>



<p>The final fight of the night should be the best of them all as Serghei Spivac is set to take on Marcin Tybura in the main event. Not only will this be a huge battle between some ranked heavyweights, but this will also be a rematch.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Spivac is coming into this fight well-rested, but that’s also because he hasn’t really found a good fight to take on. Tybura is 8-2 in his last 10 fights, and he is a fighter that is never afraid to take on a challenge.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The betting odds for this matchup are tight, but it’s Spivac that is the betting favorite at -150, while Tybura is sitting at +130. This should be a great battle, but going with Tybura at +130 is the bet to make as he is in great rhythm.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bet with BookMaker for this battle</a></h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Interesting Bantamweight Bout</h2>



<p>Due to some conflicts, there was a new fight thrown together that will feature an interesting matchup between bantamweight opponents. Chris Gutierrez will be taking on Quang Lee on Saturday night, and these two fighters could not be more different.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Gutierrez is fighter that has been in the mix in the bantamweight division over the last few years, but he has never been able to break through. He comes into this fight at -350 to get the win, and this would be a big win for his career arc.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Lee was thrown into this fight as a solid contender, but he has not yet proven that he can win big fights at this level. There is a reason that his odds are sitting at +275, but he could find a way to pull off an upset in this one.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Fighters to Back</h2>



<p>Every UFC Fight Night is filled with some great fights, and things are going to be the same for this event. Not only will the two main fights stand out, but there are also some other bets to check out.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Chepe Mariscal is another <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bookmaker/">bet</a> that should be made on Saturday as he will be able to come away with a big win. Mariscal has odds set at -215 to get a big win over Damon Jackson at +185. </p>



<p>There will also be a great battle between women, and this will be a fight to take an upset. Chelsea Chandler (+117) is going to pull off the slight upset over Yana Santos (-137) in what should be a thrilling battle.</p>

UFC Fight Night Preview

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The 2021 NHL Playoffs started with a good helping of drama. It took exactly one game to get our first playoff overtime. The Washington Capitals beat the Boston Bruins 3-2. Hopefully the high stakes and the high intensity from that game are a sign of things to come in the other first-round playoff series as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Three more playoff series get underway on Sunday, including Game 1 of the Sunshine State Rivalry between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers. The Bolts are on the road, but are still a small favorite for Sunday’s matchup with a total of 5.5 at Bookmaker <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/us/">Sportsbook</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">NBC Sports Network will carry the coverage of this one and we’ll carry some coverage with a betting preview for the game.</span></p>
<strong>Tampa Bay Lightning</strong>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Teams never want to be playing poorly going into the playoffs, but you do have to wonder how much it will affect the Lightning. Tampa Bay dropped three straight to end the regular season, including consecutive losses to the Panthers by a combined score of 9-1. Those four points and two wins are the reasons why Tampa Bay will begin on the road here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Bolts had won six of seven prior to the three-game losing streak, so we’ll have to see if they can flip the switch and get back on track now that the stakes have been raised with the start of the playoffs. Florida won five of eight meetings during the regular season and two of the losses were in overtime, so the Panthers clearly had the upper hand in the season series.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Despite that, Tampa Bay is still the road favorite here and the favorite to advance in the playoffs. A big reason why is Andrei Vasilevskiy. Vasilevskiy actually played both games against Florida to end the regular season and struggled, but still wound up with a 31-10-1 record, a 2.21 GAA, and a .925 SV%.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Tampa Bay actually had some tough times later in the season at 5-v-5. There were some injury concerns, but the Bolts finished just +14 in goal differential at 5-v-5. They’ll have to change that in the playoffs, but the task at hand could be easier with the returns of Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov at just the right times.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span lang="EN">Florida Panthers</span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Panthers do have questions in net, which has a lot to do with where this line is currently sitting. As the season wore on, there was a little bit of controversy in net. If the Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale/Miami market was a bit bigger for hokey, it probably would have dominated the headlines.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Sergei Bobrovsky should get the first opportunity in net, but that may have more to do with the massive contract than his actual play. Bobrovsky finished up the regular season at 19-8-2, but with a GAA approaching 3.00 and a SV% of just .906. Chris Driedger was 14-6-3 with a 2.07 GAA and a .927 SV%. One would have to think that the Panthers would be quick to make a change if Bob struggles. And that could very well be the case.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Florida was +24 in 5-v-5 goal differential for the regular season and even did well late in the year without the services of Aaron Ekblad, who was having a huge season but suffered a devastating leg injury. The Panthers are not just a one-trick pony with a potent offense and a lot of scoring threats. They also allowed the third-fewest scoring chances in the league 5-v-5.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Six straight wins to round out the regular season were good enough to put Florida just one point behind Carolina in the Central Division standings. Contrary to Tampa Bay, Florida is playing well going into the playoffs, but both teams will wipe the slate clean and see what happens in Game 1.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span lang="EN">Lightning vs. Panthers Free Pick</span></u></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The Lightning and Panthers were neck-and-neck throughout the regular season, but Florida managed to amass 12 points in the eight head-to-head meetings. The Panthers may simply match up pretty well with the Lightning. However, the edge in net is clear. Tampa Bay is getting back two players with top-end potential in Stamkos and Kucherov. That looks like too much to overlook here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN">Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning</span></b></p>
