Clemson Tigers vs Texas Longhorns Betting Pick & Prediction College Football Playoff First Round Game

<p>There will be a busy weekend ahead of action on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, with three key preps taking place across the U.S. However, the most intriguing could come at Gulfstream Park, as Breeders’ Cup Juvenile hero Fierceness makes his return to action in the Holy Bull Stakes.</p>



<p>The current favorite for the Kentucky Derby will take on seven rivals, but can the Todd Pletcher runner further his Triple Crown credentials?</p>



<p><strong><a href="/s/betus/">BET ON HORSES AT BETUS!</a></strong></p>



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



<p>The Holy Bull Stakes is a Grade 3 affair, and it has been staged annually since 1990. It was previously known as the Preview Stakes, before it was renamed in honor of the Hall of Fame horse in 1996. Holy Bull was a legendary horse in the U.S., landing the Florida Derby in 1994.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This race has produced some memorable Classic winners throughout history, including Derby victor Go For Gin in 1994. Barbaro was also a famous winner of the Holy Bull Stakes, with the famous horse later landing victory in the Florida Derby and Kentucky Derby in 2006.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-holy-bull-stakes-leading-contenders">Holy Bull Stakes Leading Contenders</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fierceness">Fierceness</h3>



<p>Todd Pletcher’s Juvenile superstar makes his long-awaited return to action at Gulfstream Park this weekend. Fierceness was sensational at the Breeders’ Cup in early November, thumping a star-studded field by over six lengths.</p>



<p>That win sees him boast a clear advantage in terms of ratings over this field, but only two winners of the Juvenile have later landed victory in the Kentucky Derby. The three-year-old has won two from three career starts, with his only defeat coming in the G1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont at the Big A in October.</p>



<p>Things didn’t go to plan that day, and he finished way behind Timberlake, who he would eventually get the better of at Santa Anita in November. Fierceness sets the standard, and he is certainly the runner that the field needs to beat this weekend.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-otello">Otello</h3>



<p>Otello is a runner of Christophe Clement this weekend, with Luis Saez taking the ride. The three-year-old is unbeaten in two career starts, but he still have plenty to find on official ratings.</p>



<p>He was a winner on debut in late November, securing victory at Aqueduct. However, the key form line in his favor this weekend is the Mucho Macho Man Stakes.</p>



<p>Otello was the commanding winner in that race, with re-appearing rivals Sea Streak, No More Time, and Inveigled all finishing behind him on that day at Gulfstream Park. But, further improvement is required on Saturday.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-domestic-product">Domestic Product</h3>



<p>Domestic Product appears to be an interesting outsider for Chad Brown this weekend, as the trainer chases a first victory in the race. The three-year-old was underwhelming on his previous start, but conditions really didn’t suit him on that day at Aqueduct, as he could only finish seventh in the G2 Remsen Stakes.</p>



<p>He is down in grade this weekend, and he will also be running over 1 1/16 miles for the first time. Domestic Product has already won over further after scoring in a maiden special weight at Belmont at the Big A over 1 1/8 miles in commanding style. If the race becomes a stamina test, he could be very challenging to overlook.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-holy-bull-stakes-prediction">Holy Bull Stakes Prediction</h2>



<p>This weekend’s race is all about the return of Fierceness, and it is very hard to overlook his clear claims of victory. Domestic Product could be primed to complete the exacta, as he boasts a stamina advantage over many of these unproven contenders.</p>



<p><strong>Win: Fierceness</strong> (<em><a href="/s/betus/">Bet at BetUS</a></em>)</p>

Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Pick & Prediction 12/21/24

<p>After a blowout victory in Game 2 to salvage something out of home court advantage, a lot of bettors aren’t sure what to expect from the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3. The Bucks finally had a big offensive explosion on Friday night and looked like the team we all sort of expected to see in the postseason. It may have been the version of the Atlanta Hawks some people expected in this series as well.</p>



<p>Milwaukee is -4.5 with a total of 224.5 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/"><strong>BetUS Sportsbook</strong></a> for the late 8:30 p.m. ET tip-off tonight down in Atlanta. Are the Bucks getting too much respect after what seems to be an out-of-body experience in Game 2?</p>



<p>Let’s find out.</p>



<h2 id="h-milwaukee-bucks"><strong><u>Milwaukee Bucks</u></strong></h2>



<p>Even with Friday’s 125-point effort factored into the equation, the Bucks have averaged under 110 points per game in the playoffs. That isn’t great for a team that led the NBA in points per game during the regular season with over 120. The Bucks just have not shot the basketball well, particularly from three in the playoffs.</p>



<p>In Game 2, the Bucks shot over 52% from the floor and 36.6% from three. They got out to such a huge lead thanks to a 43-17 second quarter that a lot of key guys barely played for either side in the second half. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points to lead the way, but only played 29:06 in the game. Jrue Holliday was the only Buck over 30 minutes.</p>



<p>Khris Middleton was much better in G2 than he was in Game 1 and Milwaukee shot nearly 56% from three in the first half and nearly 65% from the floor. It was unlike anything we have seen from the Bucks in the playoffs, where they are shooting 45.8% from the field overall and 30.9% from three.</p>



<p>The reserves played a good bit of the second half, but the starters also came back to earth offensively. Milwaukee shot 39.6% in the second half and made just 5-of-23 threes. That felt a lot more like what we’ve seen all postseason long. The first half couldn’t have gone any better. The second half felt like status quo. Where does that leave us for Game 3?</p>



<h2 id="h-atlanta-hawks"><strong><u>Atlanta Hawks</u></strong></h2>



<p>To draw a parallel to the NHL Playoffs, the New York Islanders lost 8-0 in Game 5 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. They went back home and won Game 6. Losing in heartbreaking fashion in overtime or on a buzzer-beater or something like that can really throw a team for a mental loop. Getting blown out? It’s a lot easier to get rid of those games.</p>



<p>For the Hawks, Milwaukee did something in the first half of Game 2 that they haven’t done in any game otherwise in the postseason. There is no reason to dwell on that. Furthermore, it got everybody a little bit of rest, as Trae Young played just 8:12 of the second half. It was just one of those days where every shot seemed to fall for Milwaukee and not enough shots fell for the Hawks.</p>



<p>The one reason for concern is that it was a pretty terrible game for Young. He had 13 first half points on 5-of-12 shooting, but was only 1-of-7 from three. He had eight first-half turnovers and the Bucks made Atlanta pay for most of their 13 total turnovers in the first half. While Young hasn’t been the most efficient scorer this postseason, he has mostly taken care of the basketball.</p>



<p>So a lot of strange and odd factors came together in a perfect storm for Milwaukee to jump out to that Game 2 lead and to put the game in cruise control in the second half. Will either side have issues making adjustments in Game 3? Probably, and if you can pick the team, you should have a winning bet.</p>



<h2 id="h-bucks-vs-hawks-free-pick"><strong><u>Bucks vs. Hawks Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>In looking at Game 3, it is hard to figure out what will happen. The Hawks won Game 1, but Trae Young was much more efficient offensively than he had been in previous games. The Bucks won Game 2, but their first half was something we haven’t remotely seen from them in the playoffs.</p>



<p>The total is where I’ll look to go today and that will be the under. The Game 2 blowout was played at a slower pace, but we haven’t seen a lot of fouls so far in this series and these two offenses have been low efficiency groups in the playoffs.</p>
