00:00
so keith when we look at the odds board now we'll start at the very top you're probably not
00:04
accustomed to seeing ben griffin being that betting favorite entering a week on the pga tour
00:10
but what a 2025 season it has been for griffin already two wins a t14 last week at the rocket
00:18
classic his last six starts keith he's been in the top 15 on the leaderboard by the time sunday
00:24
has come around each and every start so ben griffin is the favorite entering this week
00:30
at the john deere classic are you buying in you know what i'm not buying in although i think he
00:37
will be near the leaderboard at the end of the week and i mean here's why you talk about seeing him on
00:43
the betting board right the guys played nine weeks in a row the only week he took off was the masters
00:49
just because he wasn't in the field he plays every single week he's been incredibly consistent
00:53
he wants to position himself for beth page black and that rider cup team i mean he's done an
00:58
incredible job this year but as a favorite at plus 1600 i think there's better value down the board i
01:04
mean all of the favorites jason day he's only played here once in the last decade you've got guys like
01:09
michael thorby orenson everyone's all over this kid like they were davis thompson last year they think
01:14
that you know a couple good starts here at the jdc and also at the rocket makes him a favorite and then
01:20
you've got jt poston who won here back in 2022 for me at the top of the board those favorites
01:26
i might look some other places when it comes to the early leans on the early line this morning
01:30
by the way keith let me ask you a quick question too because you said that there's a chance that
01:34
some of these guys could go real low is there any market for like the first round leader because ben
01:39
griffin is the favorite at plus 3500 who has a chance to get out to a really hot start this week
01:44
you know this is a great question donnie and there's two guys that i'm eyeing that are at huge
01:48
odds the first one sammy valamaki he loves to get off the hot starts and the second one is andrew
01:53
putnam putnam's been excellent lately i mean he's at 60 to 1 in most markets and a guy that's fourth
01:59
on the pga tour and thursday scoring putnam with the putter and around the greens he's a scoring
02:05
machine so keith we see his name right there davis thompson who you mentioned a lot of people high on
02:11
last year 33 to 1 the reigning champ of the john deere classic last week's winner in a dramatic
02:18
playoff at the rocket classic in motown aldrich potteeter getting his first career win only 20
02:25
years old the young stars have played well at tpc deer run it is time now without further ado
02:31
for the early leans on the early line at the john deere classic keith who has a good week out there in
02:37
the quad cities hey the john deere tractors they like to play in the dirt so i'm going with my man
02:43
dirty denny mccarthy right in the last three trips there he's got a sixth a sixth and a seventh boys
02:49
at plus 2500 this morning on the fan duel board i mean he's gaining an average of 10 strokes on the
02:55
field in those last three starts here right three three top seven finishes incredible he was 12th at
03:01
the travelers very quietly and here's a guy he's a scrambler he's a scorer from close range he knows how
03:07
to play this place he will be up there come sunday afternoon and the second guy new jersey kid chris
03:12
gotter up plus 3500 this morning at fan duel he started the week on monday at plus 4500 so i'm not the
03:18
only person who thinks this way in 2022 he played here fresh out of college tied fourth right he's number
03:24
one in the field and strokes gained off the tee i said you had to hit the fairway how about hitting
03:28
the fairway and hitting it deep he can do that right approach he end off the tee he has been
03:34
gaining positively in his last five starts the kid is having one of the best stretches in his young pga
03:40
tour career and he's won before ben so you know what the unproven guys gotter up's done it
03:46
