Vancouver Canucks vs Pittsburgh Penguins Betting Pick & Prediction 11/27/24

<p>Another Apple Cup is upon us, as the Cougars and Huskies lock horns Friday, November 26, at Huskie Stadium in Seattle, so we have prepared the best Washington State vs. Washington betting pick along with the latest odds for this Pac-12 Conference showdown.</p>



<p>The Cougars head to Huskie Stadium as small 1-point favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, while the totals are listed at 44.0 points. Washington State is winless in seven consecutive meetings with the Huskies, and five of those seven contests have gone in the under.</p>



<h2>The Cougars are fighting for the Pac-12 championship game</h2>



<p>The Washington State Cougars improved to 6-5 SU and 7-4 ATS on the season with a convincing 44-18 home victory to the Arizona Wildcats this past Friday. They became bowl eligible, but the Cougars still have a chance to sneak into the Pac-12 Conference championship game if they beat the Huskies in their regular-season finale and Oregon loses to Oregon State.</p>



<p>Washington State dominated Arizona from start to finish, building a 30-point lead midway through the third quarter. Sophomore QB Jayden de Laura led the way for the Cougars with 259 yards and four touchdowns. Senior wideout Calvin Jackson Jr. had four catches for 133 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while senior RB Max Borghi added 16 carries for 139 yards and two scores.</p>



<p>The Cougars lean on their passing offense, though Max Borghi is capable of making a lot of damage on the ground. Borghi has 138 carries for 751 yards and ten touchdowns on his season tally, while de Laura has thrown for 2,506 yards, 23 touchdowns, and nine interceptions thus far.</p>



<h2>The Huskies can look to the future     </h2>



<p>The Washington Huskies fell to 4-7 SU and 3-8 ATS on the season following a 20-17 defeat at the Colorado Buffaloes this past Saturday. It was another lousy display by the Huskies, who were listed as 6.5-point road favorites.</p>



<p>Washington racked up 426 total yards and yielded only 183 to the Buffaloes, but the Huskies committed four turnovers. Freshman signal-caller Dylan Morris went 33-of-52 for 387 yards and a couple of touchdowns and interceptions, while the Huskies ran 28 times for a paltry 38 yards.</p>



<p>Morris has tossed for 2,458 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 12 picks so far this season. The Huskies are scoring 22.3 points per game (106<sup>th</sup> in the nation) while surrendering 21.1 in a return (tied-28<sup>th</sup>) on 192.3 rushing yards (108<sup>th</sup>) and 134.1 passing yards (1<sup>st</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Washington State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-1 ATS in the last eight games overall</li><li>6-1 ATS in the last seven games against the Pac-12 Conference&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Washington:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-10 ATS in the last 13 games overall</li><li>2-6 ATS in the last eight games at home</li><li>1-5 ATS in the last six games against the Pac-12 North Division&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-washington-state-vs-washington-pick">Washington State vs. Washington Pick</h2>



<p>The Cougars look like a better team than the Huskies, so I’m going with the visitors in this Apple Cup. Washington State has a lot on the table, while Washington has nothing to play for besides its pride.</p>



<p>The visitors must be fired up to grab a win and put an end to their terrible seven-game losing streak against the Huskies. Also, they could earn a place in the Pac-12 championship game, so the Cougars should get the job done. Their ground game is good enough to deal with the Huskies, whose secondary has been terrific thus far. On the other side of the ball, the one-dimensional Huskies’ offense will have a tall task to outscore its opponents.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Washington State -1.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>The over is 4-1 in the Cougars’ last five games overall, while the under is 9-2 in the Huskies’ previous 11 outings at any location. Three of their previous four encounters have gone in the under, but three of those four tilts have produced at least 44 points in total.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Cougars lead the Pac-12 in takeaways, and over the last six games, they’ve committed only five turnovers (three of them came against Oregon). Washington State’s offense has improved a lot in the second half of the season, so I’m going with the over.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 44.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Miami Heat vs Orlando Magic Betting Pick & Prediction 12/26/24

With the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in two weeks and a great unknown down in South Carolina on the schedule next week at Congaree Golf Club, we have a field that basically resembles a major this week at Muirfield Village on the outskirts of Columbus for the Memorial Tournament.

The players attempted to tackle the Muirfield Village course in back-to-back weeks last season. The COVID-19 pandemic altered the PGA Tour schedule in a big way, so to try and limit travel and make up some events, the Workday Charity Open and the Memorial Tournament were held in consecutive weeks in Ohio.

This year, we just have the Memorial Tournament, so we’ll handicap that one with help from the odds at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a>. Those will be at the bottom of the page.
<h3><strong><u>Betting Odds &amp; The Field</u></strong></h3>
This tournament has Invitational status, which means that 120 players are in the field. Basically, if you’ve won an event, rank in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, or were in the top 70 of last year’s FedEx Cup points list, you are invited. It doesn’t take much to get in the field, but you have to some sort of standing to get in.

Jon Rahm is the defending champ and the +1100 favorite. Collin Morikawa, who won the Workday Charity Open, is a co-second favorite along with Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy at +1800. Dustin Johnson is about the only really big name not in the field this week.

Viktor Hovland is +2000. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are the +2200 players and then guys like Corey Conners, Hideki Matsuyama, Tony Finau, Matthew Fitzpatrick, and Patrick Reed are all in the next set of players.

This is more or less going to be the final tune-up for a lot of players prior to the visit to Torrey Pines. Next week’s Congaree Golf Club is something of a mystery and the players may opt to head west instead of spending a few days in South Carolina.
<h3><strong><u>Muirfield</u></strong><strong><u> Village</u></strong><strong><u> Golf Club Profile</u></strong></h3>
Muirfield Village will look different this year. A major renovation took place after last year’s two tournaments, so the course will have some new characteristics. The greens have been redone. New trees have been planted. The tee boxes have been resurfaced. The irrigation has been improved, which is good because it has been quite dry in Ohio over the last few weeks.

Some holes will play longer, while others will have narrower fairways. There are a lot of changes that the players will have to contend with for this season and we won’t really know how most of them will play until we actually see some shots and hear what players have to say after the practice rounds.

The course will play about 7,550 yards in all likelihood. Weather looks dry for the most part this week, so the fairways will be bouncy and have some roll, but the greens may not be too receptive. We’ll see with the new green complexes.
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="td_btn td_btn_lg td_3D_btn" style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #ff0000;" href="http://bangthebook.com/s/betonline">WAGER ON GOLF WITH YOUR DEPOSIT MATCH BONUS FROM BETONLINE SPORTSBOOK</a></span></p>

<h3><strong><u>Yay or Neigh?</u></strong></h3>
Looking at our horse for course section, it is worth pointing out that there will be those differences, but some guys have played really well here and others have not. When Rahm won last year, he had only played once at Muirfield Village otherwise and missed the cut, so course form may not matter a whole lot.

Matt Kuchar is maybe the best player here not named Tiger Woods, with a win in 2013 and seven top-10 finishes since 2008. He finished outside the top 30 last season and missed the cut in 2019, so his recent course form is lacking. Those are two of the better players here in the past, so that angle may not be as important this week.

As far as other guys that have played well and are in the field, Patrick Cantlay was 32nd last year, but won in 2019 and was fourth in 2018. He was seventh in the Workday Charity Open last year. Another short price, Bryson DeChambeau, was the winner back in 2018 and finished 22nd in 2019. He missed the cut here last year, though.

Hideki Matsuyama is another short price with a win and two other top-five finishes here. He was 22nd and took a MC in the two events last year. Jordan Spieth has two top-10 and five top-20 finishes at Muirfield Village, including a 13th here last year.

Rickie Fowler has actually played very well here with two runner-up finishes and a 14th in 2019. He was just outside the top 20 at the Workday, but missed the cut at the Memorial last season. Fowler is 70/1.

Kevin Streelman was seventh at the Workday, but 54th in the Memorial. He has three other top-10 finishes here in his career. Gary Woodland had a top-five and a top-25 finish here last year to go with two other top-10 finishes and two other top-25 finishes for his career. Streelman is 50/1 and Woodland is 60/1.
<h3><strong><u>Recent Form</u></strong></h3>
Phil Mickelson will take this week off, so the PGA Champ will not be on hand. Recent winners that will be on hand include Matsuyama, who won The Masters at Augusta National, Sam Burns, who won the Valspar Championship, K.H. Lee, who won the AT&amp;T Byron Nelson, and Rory McIlroy, the winner of the Wells Fargo Championship.

As far as other guys that have played well lately, Keegan Bradley was second at the Valspar and then in the top 20 at the Wells Fargo and the PGA. Corey Conners has three top-25 finishes in his last four starts and had that strong effort at The Masters as well. Conners has a short price at +2800 and Bradley is +5000.

Tony Finau might be knocking on the door with a couple top-20 finishes the last two weeks. If he could get over the Sunday Scaries, +2800 isn’t a bad look for him. He was eighth here last year in the Memorial Tournament.

Speaking of knocking on doors, Charley Hoffman was third last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge and has three straight top-20 finishes. He actually has seven top-20 finishes in his last eight events. He was seventh in the Workday Charity Open here last year and comes in at 45/1.

Viktor Hovland had back-to-back third-place finishes at the Valspar and Wells Fargo. Patton Kizzire has that right now with thirds at the Byron Nelson and in the Charles Schwab. Troy Merritt quietly has three top-eight finishes over his last four events. He’s a long shot at 150/1. Kizzire is 110/1.

Morikawa, the winner of the Workday Charity Open, has a couple straight top-15 showings. He’s also one of the shortest prices on the board.
<h3><strong><u>Memorial Tournament Picks</u></strong></h3>
This is an excellent field with a lot of players capable of making some noise. Tony Finau makes the card at +2800 this week. Sure, he needs to get over that hump and win one, but he’s an easy-going guy that should roll with the punches as far as the modifications to the course. He’s also a guy that winds up in contention a lot.

Gary Woodland at +6000 is also a decent look here, as he’s improved his form recently and seems to be building up towards winning an event with a solid field.

You’d be crazy to leave off Charley Hoffman at +5000 with how well he’s been going also. One of the short prices probably wins the tournament, but there are some guys in the midrange with some great recent results.

Coverage of the Memorial Tournament will be on Golf Channel and CBS throughout the weekend.
