Pebble beach

Well, the dream appears to be dead. Rory with a clutch eagle on 18 to mitigate the damage he did on the back 9, but it is still a rough one as he sits 6 back of the lead. Hovland shoots the same 2 under Rory, putting him 5 back in the lead. Both of them will have to step it up big time if they want to catch Sepp Straka. If Straka can hold on, it will be back-to-back wins for him as he starts to creep in on that top 10-15 conversation. I usually like to bet on a golfer going into the weekend of tournaments but I’m having trouble finding any value. I don’t know if I trust Straka enough to back him here at +225 but I dont really love the names that are within striking distance. Russel Henley is interesting to me at +900 but I dont trust his driver enough to capitalize on these par 5s which hes bogeyed twice already.

A Justin Tucker conversation

Yeesh! In just one year, Tucker goes from god in Baltimore to a gross fuck who can’t even make 80% of his kicks. It feels like just recently, Tucker was a priceless asset to the Ravens, almost guaranteeing them points once they passed the 50-yard line. But this year, he was a straight-up liability, grading as a bottom 10 kicker in the league. So, even before these allegations, there were certainly uncomfortable conversations regarding his future with the team. And if true, these allegations will surely be the end of his career. The NFL is in their own right to suspend Tucker regardless of if any criminal charges are actually filled and id really hope since the Ray Rice incident the ravens will ignore his legacy with the organization and conduct a fair investigation.

1/31/25 bets: Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (+133)

There’s not much on the board today, and I didn’t like anything in college hoops, so I’m making a rare trip to the ice. Blues haven’t been on the ice in 4 days and are on a 3 game-losing streak where they are outscored 11-4. I really like them on the money line, but I don’t know enough about hockey to pay the juice at -178. Excited to watch some puck!
