EVENT: Sony Open in Hawaii 🌺 (Thurs-Sun)

WHY WE’LL WATCH: The first full-field PGA Tour event since pre-Thanksgiving features some players who took a 37-minute flight 🛩️ from last week’s Sentry event. Hideki Matsuyama defends his title after shooting 23-under, outlasting Russell Henley in a playoff.

COURSE INFO: Honolulu’s Waialae CC is short (7,020 yards, par-70) and tight with doglegs and 83 bunkers.

THE FAVS: With only seven of the world’s top 25 playing, here are the top five: Tom Kim (+1100), Sungjae Im (+1200), Jordan Spieth (+1600) Brian Harman (+1600) and Matsuyama (+2000).

BET TO CONSIDER: Kim Top 5 (+250). He finished fifth last weekend, and eight of the last nine Sony Open champs warmed up at the Sentry.

• Georgia (+250): The last to win three straight? Mighty Minnesota (1934-36).
• Ohio State (+400): The winner of the Kyle McCord-Devin Brown QB battle will run a loaded offense.
• Alabama (+425): The Tide haven’t gone three straight years without a national title since Nick Saban took over in 2007.
• Michigan (+750): Jim Harbaugh is sniffing around NFL jobs. Again.
• Clemson (+1200): Cade Klubnik has a full offseason to operate as QB1.
• USC (+1200): Caleb Williams looks to strike the Heisman pose again – and be the top pick in the 2024 draft.
• Texas (+1700): The first family of QBs enters a new generation with Arch Manning, but he might debut by backing up Quinn Ewers.
• LSU (+2000): Brian Kelly’s Year 1 featured an SEC West title and a new accent. QB Jayden Daniels returns to a stacked offense.
• Penn State (+2000): After six years in State College, Sean Clifford gives way to 5-star prospect Drew Allar.
• Notre Dame (+2500): Sam Hartman ‘portaled’ from Wake Forest, bringing an impressive beard and five years of ACC experience.

1. After bogeying the first hole Sunday at Kapalua, Jon Rahm trailed Collin Morikawa 🏌🏽‍♂️ by nine shots.

Odds: Rahm was +8000 to win the Sentry TOC. Which he did!

2. The Texans faced a 4^th-and-20 with 50 seconds left against the Colts. They converted – and hit on the 2-point conversion for their lame duck 🦆 coach.

Odds: Fair price for a Houston victory at that point? Try +1500.

3. Zach LaVine made it rain 🌧️ against the 76ers. One game after going 1-for-4 from downtown, he hit 11 triples!

Odds: LaVine to make that many bombs in a game? We’d offer +3500.

4. The Jaguars won the AFC South. For real. After starting 4-8 🤯.

Odds: Savvy bettors threw down at +1200 after the Lions handed Jax a 40-14 beatdown. The Jags won their final five games.

5. Da Bears crushed the Patriots 33-14 on MNF 👏 to improve to 3-4. They finished 3-14.

Odds: By parlaying moneylines, we compute +4000 on a 10-game llllllllllosing streak.

6. The largest margin of victory IN THE HISTORY OF BOWL GAMES 😲 occurred Monday. Final score: Georgia 65, TCU 7.

Odds: Our traders would have offered +6000 for a Dawgs cover of 57.5 points.

Can Deion Sanders (aka “Coach Prime”) turn around the Buffaloes in one season?! The odds are 750-to-1.

Here are our faves from tonight’s eight-game slate:

🏀 [$50] Wizards -1.5 vs. Bulls: Scheduling advantage to the Wiz, who are home 🛬 for the second straight game while the Bulls are in their fourth arena in as many contests.

🏀 [$30] Pacers +5.5 at Knicks: The Pacers have won two straight and get 48 hours to chill 😴 before visiting the World’s Most Famous Arena.

🏀 [$20] Nuggets -13 vs. Suns: It’s a massive spread considering how well Phoenix ☀️ shot it Tuesday at Golden State. But the Nuggets and Nikola Jokic (+300 MVP) crush it at home.
