VIP Picks 2/1/25


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


PGA:

1:02 EST

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.


UFC:

2:30 EST

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. 


College Hoops:

4:00 EST

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 🎁 


Added 4:47 est

6:30 EST

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)
