Happy Thursday, everyone, and welcome to the Early Edge.

We are brought to by Bed-MGM, the sportsbook born in Vegas, and I got to tell you, the sun is out.

The birds are singing.

It's why I'm wearing yellow.

We've got NFL preseason today.

We're 28 days away from NFL kickoff. I got the FedEx St. Jude off to my left. A lot going on, a slightly smaller MLB slate, but we got MLB picks for you as well. Let's see how we did yesterday. Speaking of MLB picks, we go two and two. Sniper goes one for two. He misses one plus money play, but he hits the other plus money play. Amags hits the Dodgers and we lose our sports line pick. We were going with the Rangers again at plus money. Three out of four of these picks were plus one, ten or longer. You love to see that. Two and two, maybe made you a couple of sense with some of that plus money, but at the end of the day, two and two is not where we want to be. Steve Fulcherts, Christian Hastings, Achilles, CLEF, Fann. Thanks for being in here. Let's bring in the stars of the show. We got Calvin Wetzel. We got some WNBA. We got a late game tonight. We got Mike McClure, who I know has to get out of here soon. But Mike, before we get to your pick, your golf pick, and I know you've got some racing to do, Larry, I got to ask you, how psyched are you? You came in here last week for the Hall of Fame game. You absolutely smashed a no-douder with your pick. You got to be excited about NFL preseason. In general, do you have another NFL preseason pick today? Just curious.

I do see it. We've got three games on the slate. And what's interesting about the preseason,

when they've shortened it to three games, coaches are taking it a different approach. I mean,

Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase are going to be out there. Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones are going to be

out there. We've seen some better players

in these preseason games. There's a lot more intrigue. We'll talk about the matchups, and I do

have a play I really love. All right. Bo Conner says 37 likes, which is actually pretty decent for

two minutes into the show, but he says, hey, let's get to 70 real quick, Bo. Thank you for the help on that. Ryan, Joshua, Brian. It was somebody, it must have been Fars out. I can't know. I don't remember who it was. Somebody said Daryl Green days away from NFL season. Let us know who your favorite 28 is because there's a lot of good ones to choose from Mike. We got to get you in and out of here. I'm watching the golf right now. Some low scores early. Matt Fitzpatrick, Bertie's his first three. Probably not shocking to most. I'm not on him this week. But let's talk about who you are on today. Give me Victor Hovland here. See, I know you like Victor Hovlin a little bit this week. I certainly do. I'd like him to get off to a hot start here. I played his round score under at even money currently. 68.5. While I do agree that 68 and a half should be the number, I think he should be minus 135, like some of the other players that I have him profiled similar to in this particular setup.

For example, you know, think about a guy like Justin Thomas. His number is minus 125. I would profile

them very similar. I would price them very similar. Victor Hovlin, someone who's had a little bit of

success in Memphis, has some personal ties to the area via his team. The thing that I like about Victor Hovlin, though, is we talk about approach play all the time, right?

On the early wedge, whether you guys are talking the DFS side, the betting side, whatever it may be, just the live recaps,

always going to hear us talking about approach play.

That is where Victor Hovlin really separates himself from his peers. I love the second shot on this golf course for Victor Hovlin really separates himself from his peers.

I love the second shot on this golf course for Victor Hovlin.

Typically, you'd be worried when you get to a bunch of water holes.

We have water and play on 11 holes here.
