Host Jonathan Coachman is joined by Mike McClure, Allan Bell and Larry Hartstein on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get highlighted plays for the NBA, PGA Tour golf, college basketball and soccer for Friday, Feb. 18, and you can stream the show live every morning on the SportsLine YouTube page.
Mike hit on his first-round PGA Tour head-to-head winner at the Genesis Invitational from Los Angeles and loves another play today in Round 2 with Collin Morikawa -110 vs. Xander Schauffele. "If Morikawa is finding the putting stroke at all, which he was yesterday, that is when you want to look out for him. He has the opportunity to go very low and it wouldn't shock me if he wins this tournament." They tee off at 3:10 p.m. ET from Riviera.Â
Friday per usual is a bit slow in college basketball, but Larry is on Siena -1 at home vs. Marist at 7 p.m. ET from the MAAC. "Both teams are playing well with three wins in a row for each, but the Saints have beaten Marist eight straight times in Albany. Siena's 1-3-1 zone gave the Red Foxes fits last time in a 67-60 comeback victory on Jan. 14." This line already has risen a bit.Â
Larry also alerts bettors that SportsLine will introduce a new women's college basketball handicapper next week ahead of the NCAA Tournament.Â
Allen likes Detroit -1 at home vs. Northern Kentucky because, well, the Titans are perfect ATS at home this season and covered in a win at NKU on Feb. 5.
