According to betting odds, the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored to land Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp via trade in 2025.
Trade rumors and speculation have been running rampant since former All-Pro WR Cooper Kupp announced on social media that his time with the Los Angeles Rams would be coming to an end via trade. Although Kupp expressed his disapproval of the eventual move, he is ready to exceed expectations in 2025.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently listed by the popular sports betting site Bovada as favorites to land Kupp, with +150 odds. The runner-up in betting odds to land Kupp is none other than the Los Angeles Chargers at +250, followed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions, who are tied at +750.
Betting odds are hardly a reliable source for predicting where a player will definitively land. However, it is a positive sign that the Pittsburgh Steelers may be serious contenders to acquire Kupp from the Rams.
There is no exact word on what the Rams would actually demand for Kupp, but many expect the trade compensation to include one or two Day 3 draft selections, which the Pittsburgh Steelers should be more than capable of sending their way.
We have new betting favorites to win Super Bowl LIX.
The NFL is down to the final four teams in the race to win Super Bowl LIX and be the next world champions. In the divisional round, the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills all advanced.
With the Lions losing to Washington, the Chiefs would be the new favorites, at least that is what the previous numbers would have suggested.
That is not the case. The new favorites to win the Super Bowl, according to BetMGM Sportsbook as of Monday morning, are the Eagles.
[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]
Updated Super Bowl LIX odds
Eagles +180
Chiefs +240
Bills +250
Commanders +700
At these odds, the Eagles are viewed as being about 6% more likely to win the Super Bowl than the Chiefs.
The Eagles play the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game Sunday at 3 p.m. ET at home.
The Chiefs host the Bills in the AFC title game Sunday at 6:30 p.m.
The Super Bowl will feature the winner of those two games and take place Feb. 9.

The only thing in their way? A four-quarter battle in Nashville with the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 18. With a victory, Houston would cap off the 2024 campaign with a 5-1 record in the AFC South and a double-digit win season en route as the division champs.
Houston (9-7) enters Sunday’s showdown at Nissan Stadium as a 4-point road underdog against Tennessee (3-13), according to odds from BetMGM. The over/under for points is currently set at 36, while the money line is at -225.
The Texans are preparing for two different quarterbacks. Titans first-year coach Brian Callahan confirmed on Monday that former second-round pick Will Levis and veteran Mason Rudolph would play in the regular-season finale as a test for next season.
While the Texans are playing for a 10-win year, the Titans are looking to end the year on a high note and outside the top three in April’s NFL draft. Following a 20-13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Titans are currently projected to own the second overall pick with a loss on Sunday.
The Texans could also rest starters since they can’t improve their positioning in the AFC playoffs following a 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. The team, however, wants to end their year on a high note entering the postseason.
Golf’s silly season is here, and the first tournament up to bat is Tiger Woods’ Hero World Challenge in Albany. Although the 15-time major champion isn’t in the field, we’ll still be treated with some of the best players in the world including Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Aberg, Wyndham Clark and Patrick Cantlay, among others.
Because this isn’t an official PGA Tour event, the winner will not earn any FedEx Cup points. One thing is official, however — the money. Sunday’s champion will go home with $1 million of the $5 million purse.
Without further ado, let’s jump into our betting preview and see who we’ll be targeting in The Bahamas.

Picks to win the Hero World Challenge
Justin Thomas

Odds: 10/1
Analysis: Woods’ best buddy has finished T-5 or better in four straight appearances at the Hero, including a third-place finish last December. In his last Tour start, the Louisville product tied for second at the Zozo Championship in Japan.
Tom Kim

Odds: 20/1
Analysis: In a 20-man field, getting +2000 odds for Tom Kim is too good to pass up. Despite missing the cut in his latest Tour start — Shriners Children’s Open — Kim finished second a week later at the DP World Tour’s Genesis Championship. He’s played in the Hero once, finishing T-10 in 2022.
Robert MacIntyre

Odds: 25/1
Analysis: Unlike many of the players in this field, MacIntyre has been playing golf this fall. In his last two DP World Tour starts, the Scot finished T-19 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and T-7 at the DP World Tour Championship. This will be MacIntyre’s first appearance at the Hero.
The final official PGA Tour event of 2024 has arrived, as Sea Island Golf Club’s Seaside Course is once again set to host The RSM Classic. Defending champion Ludvig Aberg makes his return to golf’s biggest stage this week after a two-month recovery from knee surgery. The Swede hasn’t played since a 16th-place finish at the Tour Championship.
Some of the other players teeing it up in St. Simons Island, Georgia, this week include Brian Harman, Harris English, Lucas Glover, J.T. Poston and Denny McCarthy.
The champion on Sunday afternoon will receive $1.368 million of the $7.6 million purse and 500 FedEx Cup points.
This is the final week for players to solidify their spot in the FedEx Cup top 125 and earn cards for next season. There are several notable players on the bubble in the RSM field, including Joel Dahmen and Daniel Berger.

Ben Griffin walks down the fairway on the 18th hole on the first day of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
Odds: 30/1
Analysis: We had Griffin on the card last week for the Bermuda Championship and he finished solo eighth. So, we’re riding with him again, hoping he can earn his first Tour victory at the RSM.
He has four top-25 finishes in his last five starts and has played well at Sea Island in the past: T-8 in 2023 and T-29 in 2022.
J.J. Spaun

Odds: 35/1
Analysis: Spaun has loved this tournament over the last few years: T-13 in 2023, T-15 in 2022 and T-16 in 2021. Before a T-30 finish at the World Wide Technology Championship a few weeks ago, Spaun tied for sixth at the Zozo Championship.
Greyson Sigg

Odds: 60/1
Analysis: Since missing the cut at the Sanderson Farms, Sigg has played some high-level golf. He tied for 11th at the Black Desert, for 23rd at the Shriners and for ninth last week in Bermuda. The Augusta, Georgia, native tied for eighth at the RSM last year and finished in a share of 15th in 2022.
The Butterfield Bermuda Championship, the penultimate event for the PGA Tour in 2024, kicks off Thursday at Port Royal Golf Course. Another rank-and-file field has gathered in Southhampton, Bermuda, highlighted by Mackenzie Hughes, Lucas Glover, Seamus Power, Maverick McNealy and Daniel Berger.
Defending champion Camilo Villegas has made just five cuts across 24 starts so far this year, but maybe a trip back to the course where he captured his fifth Tour win will break his slump.
This week’s winner will go home with $1.242 million of the $6.9 million purse and 500 FedEx Cup points.
Now, let’s jump into our betting preview and discuss a few players we’re picking to contend in Bermuda.

Things to keep in mind
Wind can play a major factor at this track, so pay attention to a potential wave advantage.
This is not a course players can dominate with their drivers. This is a plot-your-way-around type track. Think Harbour Town (RBC Heritage).
Scores can get low out here — Villegas won at 24 under. Let’s prioritize Strokes Gained: Approach and SG: Putting (Bermuda).

Picks to win the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship
Ben Griffin
Ben Griffin walks down the fairway on the 18th hole on the first day of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn., on Thursday, August 15, 2024.
Best odds: 20/1 (+2000), DraftKings and FanDuel
Analysis: Griffin has been flirting with his first Tour win for more than a year now, and this seems like a great spot for him to get it. He’s coming off back-to-back top-25 finishes at the Zozo Championship and World Wide Technology Championship, and he has a T-3 finish at this event in 2022.
Justin Lower

Best odds: 25/1 (+2500), several books
Analysis: Lower played some great golf last week but couldn’t quite catch Austin Eckroat. He finished in a tie for second. Now, he heads to a course he loves. In three starts at Port Royal, Lower has three top-20 finishes, including a tie for eighth at the end of 2022.
Patrick Rodgers

Best odds: 30/1 (+3000), FanDuel and Caesars
Analysis: Rodgers has made 279 starts on the PGA Tour and hasn’t put a tally in the win column. Is this his week? Over the last month, Rodgers has tied for 11th at the Black Desert Championship and for 24th at the World Wide Technology Championship. In 2021, Rodgers finished solo fourth at Port Royal. A year later, he tied for third.
Vince Whaley

Best odds: 55/1 (+5500), FanDuel and BetMGM
Analysis: Whaley has two T-16 finishes during the Tour’s fall season — Sanderson Farms Championship, Shriners Children’s Open — and has played well at Port Royal in the past. In 2023, he tied for eighth, and in 2021, he finished T-7.
After the Cardinals opened Week 10 as home favorites, the odds and lines have shifted.
The Arizona Cardinals will face the New York Jets Sunday afternoon in Week 10 at State Farm Stadium. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET (2:25 p.m. Arizona time) and the game will air on CBS.
After initially beginning the week as home favorites, the point spread and betting odds have shifted so that the Cardinals are now underdogs.
So let’s have a look at the betting odds and lines for the Jets vs. Cardinals Week 10 game, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.
[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]
Jets at Cardinals Week 10 betting odds and lines
Odds updated as of Friday at 11:09 a.m. ET.
Moneyline
Jets -125 (bet $125 to win $100)
Cardinals +105 (bet $100 to win $105)
These odds imply the Jets are about 7% more likely to win than the Cardinals.
This is a change. When the week opened, the Cardinals were -120 favorites with the Jets at +100. The line moved to both being -110 and now the Jets are favored.
According to BetMGM, 55% of bets are on the Cardinals to win the ML.
Spread
Jets -1.5 (-110)
Cardinals +1.5 (-110)
This is a full three-point shift in the odds. The Cardinals were 1.5-point favorites to start the week. Up until Thursday afternoon, they were favored by one point and then they moved again in favor of the Jets. 56% of the bets are on the Cardinals to cover.
The Jets are 3-6 ATS and the Cardinals are 6-3 ATS on the season.
Total
Over 46.5 (-110)
Under 46.5 (-110)
Even the total has increased. It began the week at 45.
Both teams are 4-4-1 O/U this season.

The PGA Tour is back in action this week for the World Wide Technology Championship south of the border. The Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas in Los Cabos, Mexico, once again plays host after making its Tour debut in 2023.
Cameron Young — still looking for his first win — headlines the field and will be joined by defending champion Erik van Rooyen, Lucas Glover, Harris English, Keith Mitchell, Maverick McNealy and Beau Hossler, among others. Zozo Championship winner Nico Echavarria — finished T-31 at El Cardonal last year — will also tee it up Thursday.
This week’s winner will go home with $1.296 million of the $7.2 million purse, as well as 500 FedEx Cup points.
Now, let’s jump into our betting preview for the World Wide Technology Championship.

Things to keep in mind
Fairways and greens are extremely easy to hit at this golf course. This tournament will come down to proximity to the hole and who has the hot flat-stick.
van Rooyen won at 27 under last year, and the weather for the week looks good. Expect a similar winning score and target players who make a lot of birdies.
Three stats we’ll prioritize: Birdie percentage, proximity from the fairway and Strokes Gained: Putting.

World Wide Technology Championship picks to win
Cameron Young (20/1)

Analysis: Young has burned me more times than I’d like to remember, but this spot sets up so well for him. Not many players on Tour can make birdies in bunches as well as Young does, just look at the 59 he posted earlier this season at the Travelers. Plus, he’s the one big name in this rank-and-file field. Hopefully, he can take advantage of that and grab his first Tour win.
Update: Young has withdrawn from the event.
Keith Mitchell (30/1)

Analysis: This pick makes me a little nervous thanks to Mitchell’s case of the Sunday Scaries, but I’m rolling with him anyway. This season, Mitchell ranks T-4 in proximity from the fairway and second in birdie average, only behind world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. And yes, he’s missed two cuts in a row. However, he played some great golf at the Sanderson Farms Championship in early October, where he finished T-3 after being the 54-hole leader.
Michael Kim (45/1)

Analysis: Kim is known by most fans for his Twitter/X presence, but I like this spot for the 31-year-old. He’s fresh off a T-5 finish at the Shriners Children’s Open, and he tied for 23rd at El Cardonal in 2023. This season, Kim ranks 12th in proximity from the fairway and sixth in birdie average. All signs point to the Cal product having a nice week in Mexico.
Patton Kizzire (60/1)

Analysis: Kizzire is coming off a missed cut at the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas, but has played some great golf during the FedEx Cup Fall, including a win at the Procore Championship and a T-11 finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship. Like Mitchell, Kizzire thrives in two of our key categories for the week. He’s T-4 in proximity from the fairway and fifth in birdie average. Last season, Kizzire finished T-15 at this event.
