The Masters Just Feels Bigger I’ve been thinking a lot about this: golf is a sport that’s tailor-made for television. Anyone that’s been to an NFL game can attest that the event is much better on television than in person. The Masters is the only major that’s played at the same venue every year. But there’s this buildup, every single year. Lately, we’ve had Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and obviously Rory getting over the hump last year – some huge names.

Two other guys I like this week: Wyndham Clark, who just fired his caddy but had success here last year and hits it a mile, and Sahith Theegala, who sprays it a little off the tee but can really fill it up with birdies. Both are available at +5000, and you can get them Top 10 at around +450. Both feel like auto Top 10s, and I’m sprinkling each outright at +5000. Pretty good odds for two guys that are going to win again on the PGA Tour at some point.

Monday Night Football sets up as a classic contrast game: a talented but still-developing Houston team against a Pittsburgh team that feels comfortable at home as an underdog. The discussion around this matchup isn’t about star power as much as it is about trust – trust in coaches, trust in situations, and trust in what we’ve already seen on the field. Cowherd’s Pick: Steelers +3 I’m taking Pittsburgh at home on Monday night. With Mike Tomlin in this spot, that’s a situation I trust.
