Should have just taken the night off and took the 1-0 golf day! We need a big Saturday now.

Pebble Beach Round 3 Score
Viktor Hovland Under (71.5) 🥈
Same play as yesterday but an even better number at 71.5.
We needed under 70.5 yesterday and he finished at 70 😅 but he shot a 65 in Round 1. He played the Spyhill course yesterday and the Pebble Beach course in Round 1. He’s back on the Pebble Beach course today.
There is some rain in the forecast but I’ll still take my chances at -1 or better for him today.

Israel Adesanya (-155)🥉
All the UFC media are calling to take the underdog in this Main Event but not so fast.
Sure Imavov averages more signs strikes per minute 4.51 to 4.00 and he has a “huge” advantage in grappling but averages less than 1 take down per 15 minutes and Izzy has 75% takedown defense.
Izzy has a 5 inch reach and I think he will be about to pick away from safe distance in this fight.
The only concern I have is his recent results and current motivation but if he’s locked in, he should win this fight.

Kansas (+120) 🥇
#11 Kansas will be on the road against Baylor and Baylor has had some tough run ins with ranked opponents this season - they lost 101-63 vs Gonzaga, 77-62 vs Tennessee, & 74-55 vs Iowa St.
It feels like a similar script of recent years for Kansas, they started the season #1 and have had a few road losses that knock them down in the rankings but they are realistically one of the best teams in basketball.
Baylor’s defense inside the paint is pretty weak allowing opponents to shoot 70% in there and that’s a big part of the Kansas offense so they should have success there. Then Baylor’s 3 point defense ranks 331st so the Jayhawks should be able to get what they want from outside as well.
This line seems like a gift 🎁

North Carolina (+14)
Thought about UNC team total but getting +14 in this rivalry game feels nice.
UNC has underperformed so far this season but they have experienced guys who will have the extra motivation for this game vs #2 Duke.
UNC has covered +14 in 8 of the last 9 games in this series.
Davis, Jackson, & Cadeau can go iso and score which will be key against Duke who’s got a pretty solid defense (3rd overall)
