Power of Beacin Prime Time here on a Tuesday night. We've got wall-to-wall college basketball. We've got one of the sharpest college basketball betters in America in studio tonight. Bobby Buckets, Brewback, and Will Hill. You don't get the nickname Buckets unless you know your college hoops, right? 100% no Bobby as a competitor here in the Circa contest. So always respect his plays, always anxious to see who he's on and anxious to find out who he's on tonight. And tomorrow is like we talked about. We got a million games to get through. So fun time of the year. Excited to get his thoughts. We're at half time in the West Coast Conference Championship at the Orleans Arena of Vegas. Santa Clara 33 and Zaga 29. All right. Let's welcome in Bobby Buckets from Austin, Texas and studio tonight. You've been in the Circa Friday football invitationally. You've been in the Circa College hoops challenge and you love to bet college hoops. How much action do you have going on here on a Tuesday? You know, I'm kind of embarrassed to say I don't have a ton of action right now for as much stuff that's going on and the people in the room that have a bunch more than me. I'm kind of jealous, but I have a couple games. I have this Jackson State plus six and a half
trying to hang on against Grandling State here. I'm going to play a game a little bit later Eastern Washing in plus two. And that will do it for what's going on now. Tomorrow, I think, you know, all the big tournaments really start. So there'll be a lot of a lot of stuff going on. The next $48 for sure, but great time. Yeah. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, championship week didn't get much better than that because you got games early morning to late night. And your buddy Eric was out here at the Circa Sportsbook last night. And I think you have 17 bets on four different sports. Yeah, completely out of his mind betting the world here on everything he can get his hands on. And probably we'll have some second half games here shortly on some of the stuff that's going on right now. But certainly a great time. Great place to be here. It's a lot of action and glad to be a part of it. You love the small conference tournaments as well. And I think you mentioned this, but did you have a play on this Idaho Eastern Washington game at 830 tonight? Tips off in Boise. The number is Vandals minus one and a half total of 148. Yeah, I do.
Actually, that's my last play. I have Eastern Washing in. I caught two earlier. Had them last night. And again, it kind of went down to the little closer than I hope, but got the dub. And I'm going to take him to nine. I think they went out right. All right. Will Hill. Let's talk about some of these conference tournaments coming up. And Bobby, you live in Austin. You were at the Oklahoma Texas game over the weekend. You and I were both taking the points with the Sooners and that one. We had to go to overtime to get it, but they got it done. Sooners have been hot down the stretch in the big 12 as you can kind of break down the big 12 tournament because I looked at that this morning. And I said, I really can't find a good bet here on the futures. Maybe you can find some bets on the futures or in the first round games. What are you looking for in the big 12 tournament? Yeah. So interesting. I made on the on the plane ride over today from Austin. I made a bet on Texas at 65 to one. Obviously, you know, super long shot, but they have a nice road. You know, they'll they play Ole Miss and Chris Beard. And you know, it's been such a tough road for him. And we both love him as a coach, but it's been really rough for for the Rebels. And so I think
they get through that game. Then they played Georgia, who they beat handily earlier than lost the game that they probably shouldn't have lost the second time around. So I think they can handle that game. And then they won the game at Alabama. That would be their third round games. So I think the first three games are reasonable. And then if you if you win those three games, you can make money on the ticket at 65 to one. So I don't have a strong feeling with anyone in that group, but especially when you have Florida on the other side that you don't want to mess with at all. So I took a shot with Texas there at huge number. So we're talking about the SEC and the big 12 tournaments here. And obviously Texas and Oklahoma and the SEC tournament in Nashville and the big 12 tournaments in Kansas City. So let's stick with the SEC. Florida minus 180 odds on favor. Arkansas, the second choice, the sixth one. I know some people like Alabama plus 850. You took the big number on Texas. I believe that's circuit right now. That's draft Kings. That's 60 to one. You said you got 75 to one on text. 65 to one. Is there another wrong shot in there that can make it run like Georgia? I saw
Georgia 50 to one today. I don't know. Yeah, Georgia's playing Texas. So I think that's no good for them. But I mean, Oklahoma at 130 sounds ridiculous, but I saw them last week and they beat Texas at Texas. And they were in control most of that game until I got a little goofy in the end. But that's a team that could also I think I will be a better on Oklahoma. If they win, game won against South Carolina against NM as a two or three point underdog for sure. And then, you know, at that point, you know, who knows? I'm good at the Florida Gators. And do you think teams like Michigan, Duke, Florida have any sense of urgency to win these conference tournaments? Not really, because you're seeing what Duke's doing and pulling players, you know, the center could probably play if they needed him. But they're definitely looking at the bigger picture here. I think Florida, I saw Florida in Austin two weeks ago. And they were the most impressive team I've seen this year. And they're really coming to form. You know, they lost a few players last year to the draft. And then they kind of had some transfers and different things. And they're just,
they're playing a great Texas play. Their best half of the year was up at half time. And then at about the 32 minute mark, it was lights out. And I had Texas plus seven or eight. And I was dead. Yeah, Florida is very impressive. To me, there, there's no doubt that that there's a there's a line of demarcation with the top four teams, Yukon, not being one of them and the rest. Florida went on so close. I could point into two running that game. I think the whole way. Don't don't remind me. Yeah, I know. I was watching it. All right, well, far away. Yeah, I had it too. Bobby, but you said something during the break that I thought was fascinating. And I thought for years, watching these conference tournaments, laying points in these tournaments, the underdog often comes in with a new lease on life, extra motivated. We saw some dogs play well and win outright today. What's your thought press process on it? And is that generally how you attack these conference tournaments where you look to play the dogs before the favorites? You got a sound issue there. What was asking about if you're looking to play mostly dogs in these conference tournaments? Yeah, absolutely. Well, so that's the only only thing I would
be playing as dogs just from the standpoint of not only that's kind of my philosophy in general, but even more so that these teams have life. And you know, if the coaches are, you know, motivated, you know, these teams going, Hey, we have a shot to actually get in the big tournament. You look at a team like Maryland is left for dead. They win a game today. Pretty easily Pittsburgh. What, I mean, Stanford to me is a team that was on the bubble needs to win a couple games to get in. A team that I really liked with a really good coach and they lay an egg today against a team that I would have never thought. I think I made that game 10 and a half. And when I saw it on the way over on the on the trip over the plane ride over, I was like, they're going to figure out a way to win this game and then pick comes up and do it. So yeah, it's under dogs or nothing for me. And you're seeing teams that aren't even in the mix, even, you know, Arizona State, the fighting Bobby Hurley's who, you know, we always kind of make fun of, but I mean, that's another one where, you know, I would have never thought that they would be in there and here they are. And now they're
going to catch 11 and a half tomorrow and probably be good tomorrow. Well, how about that money showed up on Baylor this morning. Arizona State gets a job done and it goes over the total a couple of bizarre scoring bursts in that game. Do you bet many totals? Will Hill and I've been talking about this a lot tonight. Totals are so tough because you don't know how many free throws are going to be shot into the game. Teams never stop fouling. It's sort of random. Some of the results you get on total decisions. You bet many totals in the conference tournaments are next week. I don't in the conference tournaments in the, in the NCAA, I will bet some unders, but you're absolutely right. And what happens is these teams will just, they will foul, even if they're down 10. And all of a sudden, you look like you have a stone under and, you know, they scored 14 points in the last 72 seconds. And you're like, what just happened to my bet? So I kind of stay away from that. I'm pretty much an underdog player here. And I was looking at this Oklahoma State game to bet a half of this one on eight zero runs and all the games tied. So yeah, I'm underdogs in the conference tournaments. Now in the NCAA tournament, I will take some small favorites,
but yeah, conference tournaments to me. It's, it's underdogs or nothing. Arizona State underdog winner this morning against Baylor in the big 12 tournament in Kansas City. Since an 81, but failed to cover against Utah, BYU 105 91 over K state covers the 11 flies over the total BYU without Richie Saunders, not playing much defense, but playing at a fast pace and putting up big numbers and Colorado Oklahoma State under way now. Did you like a team in the futures in the big 12 tournament? That was one SCC in the big 12. I didn't play any futures in those games. None for me. The, the other, there's a couple others that I did play in other groups. I played in the ACC. I played Miami at 20, you know, staying away from the Duke group. I, I really did like that. You know, they're going to play hopefully Virginia in a game. That'll be a pick-up game. Virginia, I think, was eight to one to win the, the conference after the injuries today with Duke. And now 20 to one on Miami's team fair. And then the one I like the best is Wisconsin at 30 to one for, you know, that was an unbelievable number. I mean, they beat everybody in that
conference. And certainly the top four teams. So I thought that was a pretty live bet, but those are my two big ones. I asked Will Hill this, what's your concern level with Duke being down two players in your point guard, Caleb Foster being out for the tournament? Well, I mean, you know, the ACC is not super strong, but I wouldn't, I didn't hate to see it when I, Miami, when Miami, when I bet the Miami bet. And so now Duke doesn't seem that interested. I mean, they could have played the center. They don't play him. They're saving him for the big tournament, which I get. But I'd say if Duke and Miami played in that final, Duke would still be like six to seven point favorite on that neutral. What about an NCAA tournament without Foster? Yeah, no, that matters for sure. I mean, that takes them from a definite one or two best team to maybe, you know, still a top five team for sure. But that's a, that's a, that's a big loss. That's, that is a, that is absolutely a big loss. Montana up 42, 24 on Portland State. That's a big sky championship semi tonight. How about this out of the NBA? Bobby, did you ever have BAM out of bio scoring 83 points?
What do you think go, Card? BAM out of bio has 83 points for the Miami Heat tonight. That would be somewhere in the area of 200,000 to one, I believe. 20 for 43 from the field. Seven for 22 from three. 36 for 43 from the free throw line. And it's now gone final. Heat 150, Wizards 129. BAM with 83 points tonight for the Miami Heat. How about that? Will Hill? Is that stunning or what? I don't know what number you would have need to give to me before I would just laugh at you much less. Think about actually betting it. That is just one of the more stunning stat lines you're ever going to see in any sport. A Sienna leads Merrimack 39 30 in the MWAC championship with 17 and a half minutes to go there. Sienna the dog with the nine point lead. Are it quick break back before of Will Hill and Bobby Bucket's brew back here on Veecent Primetime?

This is Vincent Pribetime on FESEN, the sports betting network. I were back. Bam out of bio with 83 points tonight for the Miami Heat and did not expect that to happen tonight. I did not expect this to happen either. Will Hill, how about the world baseball classic? Internally up five zero over the USA two outs in the bottom of the fourth the Americans trend rally here and now officially underdogs on the live line.
Shocking result I've complained or at least made the observation or the point that if you're going to really have this WBC catch on, you got to have more competitive games. You can't have all these games with the US is favored by nine and a half seven and a half. You need some more competitive games. Well, we're getting a competitive game tonight. I'll have to look at the pool and stuff and see the betting implications. I imagine they're still moving on and my bet here is the Dominican, but a shocking result to see the least. All right. Back here with Bobby Buckets Brubeck, professional better out of Austin, Texas in town for the weekend. Are you here for two weeks? Are you here for the conference tournaments and next week? I know. I'm not. I am here till Friday and then I go back to Austin and then I will be back in the week of the sweet 16 elite eight. Okay. So you like this week in terms of betting opportunities better than next week or you just want to avoid the crowds here next. Yeah. It's actually I've done 21 years of the first week of March Madness. This is my first year doing conference tournaments. So I want to try it out. Yeah. And so I'm going to do that and skip a week and then come back in two weeks for the sweet 16.
All right. So how many NCAA championship futures do you have? I know you got whiskey to win the final four. You got Wisconsin, a watt number? I got Wisconsin 30 to one to win for the final four. I have national championship. I have Florida a little late to the game 13 to one. I have a Vanderbilt which I'm not crazy about at 50 to one. And I have Arizona after that first game. We bet that 33 to one. So that's all I have in the futures. Good number on Arizona. I've got four to 25 to one. I looked that up. I bet that on May 28th. Yeah. That's yeah. That's strong. That's strong. A long time ago on the four to Gators. All right. So we've seen a bunch of number one seeds following conference tournaments this week right now. Merrimack and danger of being another one down 13 with 15 minutes to go into MWAC championship. So of these teams you've seen win small conference tournaments this week. I talked about how much I like Troy. I think you've got a couple teams right state being one of them that you think are going to be teams to bet on next week in a big tournament. Yeah.
I think right state they'll probably end up with around a 13 seed, maybe a 14. I'm hoping they get a 13. They play a four if they caught a four like Kansas with the way they go up and down the floor and the way they can flat out score. I think they could be a problem and they could win a game or even maybe two games. I think the same thing with bubble team VCU. They're going to need to win. They're going to need to get to the final and maybe even win the final to get in. But I think they have an excellent team. They played a very good game against Saint Louis for about 30 minutes a couple weeks ago. But I think they have a chance to win a couple games. And I also think Saint Mary. So probably if they'll probably get jammed up and be on that eight nine line where they'll you know end up playing Michigan where they don't really have a chance. But I think they're the best team in that conference. I would take them, you know, I took them against Gonzaga a couple weeks ago when they were plus two at home. And I would take them tonight if they were pick them and they would probably be a four point underdog. So I think Saint Mary's could win two games. I think it's one of his best teams. All right. How about teams you looking to fade next week and
you know, Gonzaga might be one of those teams. Zagged down four and half time tonight to say to Clara, a second half now underway to Orleans and now down six. Yeah, definitely. Zags are one of the teams I'm fading. Put that on the list with Purdue and Matt Painter who cannot coach. Give me Illinois who can score it all. I like the coach. But these losses to like UCLA's and just they can lose to everyone. Their their their floor is so low that you know, you could see them getting beat in an early round game. That's how it's saying if Texas caught them in a second round game, I would think Texas is super, super live against the Illinois team. And then so Illinois Purdue, Gonzaga. I wish I was oh, I have a Yukon bet that I made before the season that I'm actually not crazy about at all anymore. I'm not really sure what's going on there, but they just can't score like they have in years past. So I won't say I'm a fade on them, but I'm not crazy about that team. So those three for sure. And then and then I would not be taking any of the Kansas action because I'm
not sure Peterson plays two games in a row. I'm with you on that. I said that about the big 12 or tournament two that I didn't want to bet on Kansas because you don't know if Darren Peterson could play two or three days in a row or when he's going to play. So Kansas to be a fade for me. Where do you stand on BYU in Iowa State? Yeah, so okay. So Iowa State's a little bit higher than BYU on my list, maybe three or four points on if it was if it was a neutral site game. The problem I have with Iowa State is they do most everything well except shooting 67 and a half from the line is not going to work for six games. I don't think I think they're going to you know they're going to have trouble there. I actually looked it up. There's no team that has won the national championship since Florida in 2007 shooting less than 70 and 67 is a decent doesn't sound like much but those three points are pretty serious. So I think they probably go far but elite eight is probably the max for me on Iowa State and BYU with that injury. I don't yeah, I don't think they go farther. They might not even get out of the first weekend. Richie Saunders out for BYU that makes a big difference and this BYU team is playing no defense
right now. Tonight, AJ DeBanza have 40 points for the Cougars. How about Texas Tech? So out of your neighborhood down there and love a GT top and out for the season. Obviously, what was the ceiling for the Red Raider to have a hell of a coach and grant my castle. Yeah, one of the top five coaches in my eyes. I've watched them play live a few times and I really love the way they play. Yeah, top and just to kill or kill or injury. I did take a number or just because the number was so nuts 30 to one to make the final four. Just because you know, I think that it's probably closer like 16 or something, but that would have been a team had top and played. I could say could beat one of the top four teams and I can't say that about many teams. I don't want to fade you kind yet. I've got you kind to a 15 to one because Danny Hurley is so good in a short turnaround situations in the tournament. I think he's covered 14 straight tournament games, right? Yeah, he's unbelievable and he's you know, and he's so good with the rest too. They get along so well, so that's cool too. And but yeah, they know how to win. So there's something to be said for that
type of pedigree that have won. And you know, they have a couple guys. Carabin and another player that have won national championship. So I mean, could they turn it on? Yeah. And actually, I hope they do, but yeah, they're a step below the top four to me. Well, Hill, how about you? When you look at the some of the teams of one, these small conference tournaments, let's start there. Teams that you think you're going to be bet on for you are maybe dangerous teams next week. The Bobby talked about there. One, we just watched Hofstra. And we talked about how they're a little sentimental favorite. It hadn't been in the tournament a while. They won it in 2020. They didn't get to participate for obvious reasons. The last time they were in the tournament, Jay Wright was actually the coach, but this was the highest rated team in Ken Palm all year, even though they were a three seed cruise Davis is the player of the year. So I'm not sure. We'll see what kind of seed they get. I'm not sure they win a game, but I think they could be dangerous and feisty and at least cover a game here in the first round. Well, Hill's talking about Hofstra. The last time of the pride in the tournament, 2001, Jay Wright was a coach. I think Northern Iowa could be one of those, and I
like Troy quite a bit too. Yeah, that's that's when I missed Northern Iowa. Love Ben Jacobson. They're playing really well. They pretty much do everything right. Remember Northern Iowa when they caught Kansas years ago, you know, seems like 12, 15 years ago when they were a, a Kansas was a one. Yeah, he's a team. Yeah, very good coach. And that is a team I would watch for that and they're playing their best ball right now. So I could see them winning two games as well as like a 13 seed. Any other teams like a high point or Tennessee state or North Dakota state that you've seen so far that you like high point would be the three of those. Again, they haven't played anyone, but they've won a lot of games. So something to be said for that. Not like a, not like a sleeper like that, but I will say if my Kel Brown gets right and I hear that he's probably not going to play a bunch in this tournament at the CCC, but that's a team that has some upside there. That Louisville team Pat Kelsey knows what he's doing. And if that, if that, if that guards right, then, you know, that that could be a team that could cost him damage. A couple of minutes left here with Bobby Bucket's brew back. Your agent said you could stay here until 725. So we got two more minutes. How about
the Mountain West tournament here in Vegas? This, I think this should be a one bit league. I can't figure out why Utah State's a lot to be in the field. But apparently the Aggies are a lot to be in the field. This bubble soft. That's probably a big part of it. How do you, how do you hand to Captain Mountain West? Yeah, I agree with you. I think it's a one team league. And if Utah State gets in, that'll be an ultimate fade for me. I mean, the last few games, I mean, it's just been some terrible performances, you know, getting blown by Vegas. And then that San Diego State game was just completely awful. I mean, they were never in that game. So yeah, to me, it's a one team league. And if Utah State makes it, which it sounds like they're clearly in, then that would be a fade for me. Did you bet any futures on the Mountain West? We've been talking about this lot. Will Hill likes Colorado State at 25 to 1. Yeah, not terrible. Actually looked at that today. I got it. I didn't see a number that high. But that if 25, I would definitely take a shot with them because they can they can score and with the with the, you know, a conference like that. That's so wide open. Taking shots like that because it seems like there's no, you know, any team at any
time can come up with a big win. And they shoot a lot of threes and things like that. So there's a high variance there. So Colorado State at 25. I like that last minute here. Don't have much time. I know tomorrow we got full schedules and all the major conferences anything on your radar. Any bets you think you're going to make here overnight? I played with South plus six already. Again, St. Bonnie tomorrow in that eight 10 tournament. We'll see what happens tonight with some of these some of these teams that are playing later that maybe have another game. I also like the way Cincinnati played. I like the way they're playing. And there are two, I see there are two point favorites. I was hoping they're going to be a dog. But I like Cincinnati to take care of UCF. But so far, that's kind of where I'm at. All right. That's Bobby buckets. Brew back at Austin. Texas Pro better. And thanks for stopping in studio. Great to see you man. Anytime guys. Appreciate it. Will Hill and I will come back in a couple minutes. Santa Clara on top again. Zaga 42 36 17 minutes ago.

Let's go to the progressive guest line and our fifth and final guest of the night. And David Behrman says we're saving the best for last betting with Behrman. David Behrman joins us on his usual Tuesday night spot and Behrman. You're a four to Gators guy and the Gators odds on favorites in the SEC tournament minus 180 and obviously looking like they're going to be a number one seed in the big tournament trying to go
back to back. How do you feel about the Gators headed into the postseason? I feel very good about it. I know coming into this year, losing Walter Clayton Jr. who's one of their clutch performers and they start off pretty poor from three point land, which cost them in a couple of games. There's Arizona and Yukon and TCU. But I would argue, Matt, that they're playing better right now than they were going into the SEC tournament last season when they then ran the table and then ran the table in the NCAA tournament. They're just beating the crap at everybody right now and it's not the front court. I mean, it's not the guards. It's down low and those guys are just dominating left and right. And if there's no answer for those guys, they're going to continue doing this through the SEC and the NCAA tournament. Now, I do think the SEC is not as strong as it was last year when they sent so many top tier teams to the tournament in Auburn and Alabama and Tennessee and Florida. It's a little bit different this year. We're Florida's dominating. But if you look back at what they were doing in November and October when they were just losing the Yukon, losing Arizona,
people questions whether Xavier and Lee and Boogie Flan could come up and replace a Walter Clayton Jr. or Martin and look what they're doing now. They're hitting threes better than they were at this point last year in terms of this month and the season. And they're just dominating on both sides. They're not just winning by seven or eight. And if you remember Matt last year in the NCAA tournament, they were losing in the second half of every single game before rallying and pulling it out at the end. These games aren't close right now. Again, SEC is not as good as they were. But I do think you have to look at how dominant they've been these last couple of weeks and just beating everybody by double digits. I remember that well. We've talked about it a lot. The four to Gators. They come back kids in the NCAA tournament last year. Behrman, when you watch conference tournament week here, we're seeing a bunch of number one seeds fall. What does that mean to you when you look ahead to the big bracket next week? I think when you looked at what happened last year, where where the top of it was all one seeds that you hadn't seen in many years and not a lot of upsets, especially with the sweet 16 on, I'd be more concerned now about looking
at the chalk early in the tournament because yes, everybody loves March. Everybody loves the under the underdog and the Cinderella's. But I think people are not thinking about it the way we should be looking at it as when these one seeds in their small conference tournaments lose that actually hurts the Cinderella's in the NCAA tournament because give these teams credit, but the six seed in the sun belt or the seven seed in the, you know, the the the the whack. They're not upsetting teens in the NCAA tournament. You need a team like Navy, who's a would have been a great 13 seed, maybe even a 12 seed to go in there and upset a five seed. That's what you get when you have six and seven seeds pulling upsets in small conference turkeys. These teams just aren't good. So I think the number of upsets that you're going to see in the first two rounds is a lot less than you normally did would would. And then if you move it forward, you still got Duke, Michigan, Florida, Arizona, some of the best teams Houston in basketball. So I think you're still going to have that really top layer. But if if you're someone who loves upsets, it's not the upsets this week that
you should be looking for. It's the upsets in the NCAA tournament. And I think you're going to have a lot less of them when you have really not good teams making the tournament. David, let's switch gears here and talk some golf before we get to who you like this week. All of these sports will deliver bad beats. Golf because of the just cruel nature with the long prices might be the king. What have you thought of all this carnage? These bad beats have you come away unscathed. And when you get a bad golf beat, are you able to shake it off and just get ready for the next week like nothing happened? I definitely can't say I've been unscathed. I had Shane Lowry standing on the 16th hole with a 19 to one ticket given out on this very program two weeks ago. And then of course, he put it in the water twice in the next three holes. Listen, it happens almost every week now. It happened again this past week. It happened with Shane Lowry two weeks ago. My Daniel burger led for 71 holes and then didn't win the tournament. So golf is that sport, which is why I'm a big fan of the live betting. Yes, I had Shane Lowry sitting there
at 19 to one, but I was able to absolutely hedge on the other side, just like if you had Daniel burger, you were able to hedge on Betia because live betting with golf with so much time in between shots, you can get some value there. So that's the way I would approach it is your pre-turning bets are great. You're going to get great value on a 19 or 25 to one, but pay attention live because there's nothing given, especially will this week when there's water on 17 to 18 holes. You get to the last couple of holes at Sawgrass and it's no different than it was two weeks ago. I keep calling it the Honda because that's what I grew up on in the Honda Classic. Shane Lowry put it in the water twice. They can easily happen. You got the 17th hole island green coming up. This week, the players, shefflers four to one. He's the short shot. His usual Rory 14 to one, more Akawa 21 to one. What are some characteristics you look for in an outright winner? And who did you all to be play here for the outrides? So this tournament has had more variance than the other tournament. If you go back the last 30 years, you've seen bombers win it. You've seen plotters win it.
You've seen creative guys. You've seen putters. You've seen good iron players. However, if you study the last couple of years, the last six winners of the tournament have been Rory, Sheffler, Sheffler, Justin Thomas, Cam Smith, guys who have won majors. And if you look even deeper the last five years, you take the top five and ties. You're talking about 28 different golfers. 27 of them have had a top 15 finish earlier that year, borrowing that stat from my friend Jason Sobel. So I'm looking for people who have done it earlier this season. People who are in good form when 28 or 27 or last 28 top fives at this event have had a top 15 earlier that year. So where do I go? You could obviously go with Rory. You could obviously go with Scotty, but there are red flags there will where Rory pulled out with the back injury has not practiced since Sheffler is off of his as sad as it is. His worst two weeks he's had in a while with the way he's shot last week at the API. So I went a little bit further down the board. It's not a huge underdog, but I like column or a collar among the favorites at 21 to
one and finish in the top 10 at two to one. Here's the guy who's one two majors. Check that box. Here's a guy who's one earlier this year. So check that box. He didn't just rest on a Pebble Beach when he has since gone T7 at the Genesis and fifth place at the API all signature events. There may not be a player in golf right now playing better than Colour Morakawa, fifth and shots gained, third and T to green, eighth and shots gained overall. The one thing that's been the sticking point with Morakawa over his career that has prevented him from being in Scotty Sheffler's category is the putter who is 105th overall. So that's notable, but he has gained he has gained shots with the putter in each of the last three events. So the putter has improved wasn't a high bar, but I like Morakawa this week. He finished 10th here last year at 21 to one. You're getting four times the value is sorry six times the value of Sheffler and almost twice the value of Roy McElroy. So I'm going to go with Colour Morakawa at 21 to one.
Follow him at David Behrman betting with Behrman and let's continue the best bets here in the players championship TPC sawgrass Morakawa 21 to one. You're not the first one to mention Seawoo Kim tonight. Jeff Sherman, Matt Grill both mentioned him. You've got Seawoo Kim at 24 to one and one of those guys also mentioned the big sweet Sep Strock at 54 to one. So those are your two longer shots. Yeah, I like them both and now you scared me because last week we were all on Matt Fitzpatrick and went out there and shot terrible on Thursday. So maybe we shouldn't bet him, but no, I really like Seawoo Kim. 24 to one. His profile is very similar to Morakawa minus the fact they didn't win at Pebble. Here's a guy who's second on approach this year's second T degree and 20th off the tee and 12th overall. Seven events this year he's finished in the top top 13 and five of those runner up at farmers and third place at Phoenix. What's his weakness? The putter same thing and you can win here at TPC sawgrass if you just make a couple of putts with the way he's shooting. So I like him at 24 to one and you mentioned the sweeten
in Sep Strock. I like him at 54 to one. He's a longer shot out there, but this is a guy who plays well at the big events. He showed up at T 13 last week, which included a final round 76 runner up at Pebble to Morakawa had one bound round at the Genesis and his metrics back it up. He's strong on approach. Strong tea to green. One signature event last year in the truest championship in the American Express. Again, putting if any of these guys can sing some putts one of those three guys will win the event this week. You know, I've heard him call the big sweet but I think Sep Strock is actually from Austria. So I'm not sure about that nickname. David Behrmann quickly here last 30 seconds. You've got top 10 top 20 bets. Yeah, I like Minwulee top 20. I like Hadecki Matsuyama, who is a guy with seven career top 10s here on this course. I like him to finish in the top 10 and don't sleep on Jake Naft. We had him last week and then he withdrew with. He thought was an injury. It was actually an illness. He's fine. I liked him to finish in the top 20 this week. He's among the best on tour without a win right now.
So Jake Naft at 20 in the top 20 this week. Yeah, I know some sharp handicapers like Jake Naft this week as well. Behrmann best of luck this week. Thanks. Thanks. I appreciate it. Enjoy.

The Ravens have backed out of the deal with the Raiders and they will retain their two first round draft picks and send Mad Max back to Las Vegas. This is a quote from Crosby's agent. Max continues to be on track in his recovery and if anything is ahead of schedule according to his surgeon, Max remains on track to return during the offseason program and will undoubtedly return as the dominant game record. He has been these past seven seasons in quote. How do you think this story is going to end? Will Hill or the Raiders going to find another team to pass Crosby on the physical and they're going to get two first round picks or will the Raiders have to settle for maybe a first and a second somewhere? Yeah, it's going to be fascinating. There's not a lot of precedent for that. It's hard to know without knowing how much of this is the medical, how much is
the theory that you know what the Ravens just got, you know, what's it, buyers, remorse, sticker shock, whatever and they're pulling out. So I don't know. I'd imagine they don't get this price tag from somebody else because nobody wants to be the team. You know what? They failed this physical but we're going to pass them. That's risky. So I would imagine it does hurt the price tag, but it's just your guess is good as mine in terms of how much it hurts and I don't take too much from this agent. What's the agent going to say? You know what? My clients washed up. He's hurt. I wouldn't have traded for him either. I wouldn't have passed him. He's never going to play again. I mean, of course he's going to pump up his guy and say he's fine, but a very awkward, very unique scenario. It is and that was big news tonight in the NFL and a lot of a lot of big news and a major moves made in the NFL and free agency and trades over the past couple days. All right, let's move on to the world baseball classic. You want to talk about upsets. It's not just some March madness about this Italy five USA zero top of the six. What's what the hell's happening out of here? Well, I don't know, but we were talking about what was the line. I believe,
according to Google here, minus five and a half in terms of the run line in anywhere from a minus 1200 to a minus 1400 for the US on the money line. So if if you threw that in your money line, the parlays and said, you know what? I'll just sweeten it by a few bucks. What could go wrong? You maybe you learned your lesson or maybe you did it, but that is not going well at least as of now, just a stunning upset. Look, it's baseball. It's one game. Italy does have some MLB guys. You never expect with that team to lose, but what's the saying? An imageally baseball. The best team is going to lose a third of its games. The worst team is going to win a third of its games. It's the other third that decide the season. So on any given day, anything had happened in baseball and we're seeing anything happening here tonight. What a massive upset this would be. Our prime time game of the night was out of the association and that was Celtic Spurs in San Antonio and the short home favorite got it done. Jonathan Montobo was on the show with us tonight and he laid the three and a half with the Spurs and he got there 125-116. Spurs get to win over Boston and that's now 16-1 in the last 17 games for San Antonio.
I guess bigger news out of the NBA tonight's BAM out of bio scores 83 points and the Miami heat when 150-129 over the Washington Wizards. I would have, man, I mean what odds would you have needed before you just didn't laugh in somebody's face to say, you know what? BAM out of bio, which by the way, 83 points, second all time. I think Kobe had 81, wilt the famous 100. The only guy to score more than BAM out of bio now in a basketball game is wilt with 183 points. I mean 60's a lot, 70's unheard of. The first I've heard of this. The first update you gave me was BAM had 71. I thought maybe he was done. We'll see if they let him get more. To say it's shocking is just an understatement. I'm just blown away 83 points. I mean the NBA, these tanking teams, the lack of defense, the lack of care on a night tonight basis makes it very hard to bet. And this is a match just a perfect example. A lot of the NBA is a tough sport in the regular season. Well, the heat we're feeding BAM out of bio, the ball. They were points padding, stab padding at the end of that game to get him 83 points. But
another part of that is the Washington Wizards are absolute joke. And when you talk about the most embarrassing or the biggest joke franchises in the history of American sports, I mean the Wizards got to be there up there with what the Cleveland Browns and the Sacramento Kings. What would you say is the worst organization in sports? Jets are pretty bad. Yeah, the Wizards are bad. I know. They have. But I mean, this regime, this regime, I mean, that's the longest playoff trial I think now in pro sports. So I mean, Woody Johnson's, you know, as bad as it gets. But you hit the ones, you hit the ones, the Wizards probably could think of a few more here. Yeah, you can't put like the Marlins in there because they've had some success. So I know, is there anyone in baseball that that stoops to this level? Probably not the Rockies. I guess what you put there. Rockies have made a world series. They're pretty bad right now. Bottom of the world. But I can't believe you said the Marlins. The Marlins beat the Yankees in a world series, dude. I know. I know. I can't say that. All right,
let's update Caloutoops and where we stand right now. Sienna is, it's leading as much shorter than it was the last time we updated this game, the NAAC championship. Sienna, the dog, the number three seed leading Merrimack, the number one seed now, 51, 47, with just over three minutes to go. Also Montana tonight, a 10 point lead late in that game of Portland state. I've got man Montana plus two and a half there. Grizzlies were up big and that game started to get a little tighter and a Boise Idaho. Got one more game tonight on the board. That's in the big sky, the other semi Idaho Eastern Washington. Bobby Bucketsbrewback was in studio with us and if you want to play something late and if you want to follow Bobby, he's on Eastern Washington plus two in the nightcap tonight. That's the last game on the betting board and we got Gonzaga and Santa Clara, which the Broncos are not going away. They had a four point half time lead, Will. They're hanging in
there. Zags, I believe we're out of time out. I think the Zags are up by four or five here, but Santa Clara has been, say, feisty tonight and trying to push this game to the wire against the Zags. Gonzaga offense has come alive here a little bit in the second half, though. They have, I lean Santa Clara, I ultimately stayed away just because they've played so well, so many days in a row. It's like how many times can you have your A game? I know it's a title game, but maybe there was a little complacency and they felt a little satisfied. The fact that all right, we're probably in the tournament. You know, that's all narrative stuff, but I ultimately stayed off of it. So we'll see here. I mean, it's not too far off now from what it was pregame pregame. You could have got an eight eight and a half. It's now seven and a half on the live line. So we'll see how that plays out. One I would make a bet on. I actually just did Montana is up 10. Like you said, over Portland State four minutes to go live total of draft Kings is one thirty three and a half. Maybe you can shop around and find a better number. To me, 10 points four minutes to go. That's when the desperation starts to kick in. That's when you see a bunch of fouls. So you can very easily,
as long as this stays in the 10 point area, if they pull away up 14, 15, maybe there aren't as many fouls and you need the team that's trailing to score, but I could see a bunch of points being scored here late just because we see this in these conference tournaments. These teams don't want their season end and they foul till the bitter end. Yeah, you've talked about, talked about that a couple of times tonight and you're right about that. They will foul to the bitter end. No doubt about it. Santa Clara turns the ball over in Zaga on the break three point attempt. It's going to be good and that's going to push the lead out to 65 56. Zags over Santa Clara number closed eight. I bet this under 163. We are now at 121 points with six and a half minutes to go. Paces definitely picked up scoreings picked up here in the second half. Sienna up 5750 on Merrimack the top seed in MWAC. So we could see an upset there and Montana still leads by 10 6159 6151 with four minutes to go
in the big sky semi's. Well, let's take a quick look at tomorrow's board here before we wrap up the show and we have full schedules really in the major conference tournaments in Mountain West and some small conference tournaments. I'm going to need the overnight hours to handicap this entire card. There's so much going on here the next two days. It's actually kind of tough to keep up with it all. Yeah, and I would take the under on number of hours. Matt humans is going to sleep over the next few days, which is usually a good bet to begin with, but under is a good bet, especially this time of the year. Maybe you go in all under one that jumps out to me. The first game on the board, LaSalle and St. Bonaventure. First off, the five and a half seems a little high. Bobby, Bobby Bucket said he took the six with LaSalle. So that seems like a good number. But first half under is when you get these really early start times 1130 AM, the gym will probably half empty if not, you know, three quarters empty. Oftentimes you look that under 16 time out. It's like four to two or six to two. You just get these groggy, sleepy starts and these really early start times. So
when that first half under comes out, I will be looking to play that. Again, I would stay away from the full game under just because of the fouling, but that early start time under is one I'm probably going to be playing. Early start time under today and the Arizona state game didn't work out. That flew over the total today, but there were a lot of points. There was some bizarre scoring burst in that game. UNLV plays an early game in the Mountain West tournament here in Vegas tomorrow, three and a half point favorite. That's a popular play. I am not going to lay the points with the rebels in that game. How about this? The BYU West Virginia total opens 141. Does that seem well? Does seem well, especially for a BYU game in West Virginia beat them. Just I want to say a week ago, five about seven or eight points and dominating the game pretty much wire to wire. All right, Gonzaga up seven, five minutes to go in the West Coast Conference championship. The big swede takes it from here.
