Louis Oosthuizen Expects to Contend at 3M Tournament
It was a bit of a surprise that Louis Oosthuizen was going to compete at the 3M right after the British Open. The South African golfer shot -11 through two rounds and led most of the championship before Collin Morikawa surged past him on Sunday. Yes, it was another final day where things did not […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoNASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 - Monkey Knife Fight
Sunday afternoon features the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 from Loudon, New Hampshire. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on). Our friends at Monkey […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain May Get Tough Knocks This Week at New Hampshire
Ross Chastain helped Kurt Busch win last week at Atlanta when he "blocked" Kyle Busch. This week, Chastain starts 20th and the expectations are that the Chip Ganassi Racing driver may not have an easy time in traffic. He could move up a few positions but New Hampshire has been rough. Chastain has finished 25th […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Briscoe Not Expected to be Factor at New Hampshire
Chase Briscoe has shown improvement and drives very well at road races. However, New Hampshire is not Atlanta and the 1.058-mile track has been tough on lots of drivers. Add in that this is the No. 14's first attempt at the NASCAR level on this track. Do not expect the Stewart-Haas Racing driver to have […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Has Marginal DFS Possibility at New Hampshire
Bubba Wallace has driven much better on the racetrack as of late. He is making way fewer unforced errors and the results have been tangible. He has six top-20 results in his last seven races and a top-five at Pocono. Last week, Wallace improved ten spots at Atlanta. The 23XI Racing driver is showing glimpses […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChris Buescher Too Dicey for DFS at New Hampshire on Sunday
Chris Buescher has been pretty consistent in the last month. He has finished from 16th to 20th in four races. That was despite a pole position for the second race at Pocono. The Roush Fenway Racing driver just does not seem to have the long-run capability of getting into the top ten. He has just […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron Just Not a Good Pick This Week at New Hampshire
Maybe William Byron gets to drive close to the front this week but it is more likely that he does not. Byron has now finished 12th or worse in three straight races. At Atlanta last week, the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver started 20th and finished a mere 19th. It was expected he could finish in […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJoey Logano Has Potential at New Hampshire on Sunday
Joey Logano starts back in 15th on Sunday which seems odd but that is where the metrics and weights are. The Team Penske driver had back-to-back top tens at Pocono but fell back at Road America and Atlanta. This dropped him to sixth in the points standings. Logano, in the past, has been consistent at […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Might Surprise Again at New Hampshire
Matt DiBenedetto has surprised many with a tenth and ninth the past two weeks. He does not have a ride currently for next year. However, the Wood Brothers Racing driver is trying to mount a charge of sorts. The problem was between Darlington and Pocono. In those eight races, DiBenedetto finished between 18th and 24th […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAustin Dillon Has Little Upside at New Hampshire on Sunday
Austin Dillon starts 13th on Sunday at the Loudon track but he likely will not stay there. Dillon has just one top ten result in 11 races in New Hampshire. The Richard Childress Racing driver did finish 13th last year but several racers unexpectedly crashed and there was no Kyle Larson. Metric-wise, Dillon has never […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Might Not Have Speed to Compete at New Hampshire
Kevin Harvick has an incredible track record at New Hampshire but it appears father time may be catching up to the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. This has been a rough year from a speed and driver standpoint. Harvick has six top-five results but no wins on the 2021 season. At New Hampshire, the No. 4 had […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBrad Keselowski A Big Wildcard at New Hampshire on Sunday
Brad Keselowski could crash out of the race as easily as winning at Loudon on Sunday. The last three races have been a blend of it all for the Team Penske driver. There has been one constant. Keselowski finds ways to lead laps. He has led 21.7% of the laps the past three seasons (only […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Angry and Ready to Improve at New Hampshire
Kyle Larson has the best overall driver rating this season and sits just points away from Denny Hamlin for the top spot. If it feels like this has been said for a few weeks, one is not wrong. That being said, Larson is fourth-best on intermediate track the past three seasons with an 8.8 average […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoCan Christopher Bell Do It One More Time at New Hampshire?
Christopher Bell finished in the top ten in two straight races. The question is can the Joe Gibbs Racing driver make it 3-for-3 heading into the break? The No. 20 car has consecutive top tens twice this year but has not had that third one many are expecting. For Bell to make "The Chase", he […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoTyler Reddick Another Top Ten Finish Plausible at New Hampshire
This could be very close but Tyler Reddick has a nice chance to finish in the top ten again at New Hampshire on Sunday. His only appearance on the track produced a tenth-place result. The Richard Childress Racing driver has performed well on the circuit with six top ten placings in his last nine races. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Blaney Liked Atlanta but Likes New Hampshire a Little Too
Ryan Blaney has a couple of top-ten finishes in his previous three races at New Hampshire. While he has not won there, Blaney was seventh and fourth in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Last year did not go so well as the No. 12 finished 20th. He did lead five laps but developed car issues as […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoCan Denny Hamlin Finally Win at New Hampshire?
Denny Hamlin still leads the point race by a scant ten points over Kyle Larson. It has been quite a balancing act there over the past few weeks. Hamlin still has not won a race in 2021. The No. 11 has been close so many times this year that we lost count. There are the […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman Less Dicey Than Most Think at New Hampshire
Alex Bowman likely will not contend for a win at New Hampshire. However, his Hendrick Motorsports Racing car should stay around the top ten for most of the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301. Bowman has an average finish of 13.33 over the last three races at the track without a top-ten finish. That means he is […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKurt Busch May Be Risk at New Hampshire
Yes, Kurt Busch has been on a run culminating in a win at Atlanta last week but this week may be a different story. He does start fourth in the Chip Ganassi Racing car but has an average finish outside the top 14 at New Hampshire in the last three races. The elder Busch has […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott Another Consideration at New Hampshire on Sunday
Chase Elliott did not completely blow up last week at Atlanta and probably could have. He led 13 laps in all and managed to finish in seventh. Elliott did not fade quite like expected. His runs were pretty strong even on the longer ones where the No. 9 maintained decent track position. The Hendrick Motorsports […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMartin Truex Jr. Shows Better Form, Could Contend at New Hampshire
It has been a long, strange season for Martin Truex Jr. He had a run of dominance which included that incredible win at Darlington. Then, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver could not do anything right. It all started with the car issues at Dover then snowballed for about a half-dozen races. The last three weeks […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Busch Likely to Stay Hot at New Hampshire
Kyle Busch has been the hottest driver in NASCAR over the last month or so vaulting to third in the points race. His average finish is now up to 10.1 which is excellent. That includes four consecutive podiums (one win) and a top-five result in six of his last seven races. The Joe Gibbs Racing […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoCameron Tringale Has Chance to Atone for PGA at British Open
Cameron Tringale shot an 82 at the second round of the PGA Championship including a stretch where he dropped 13 shots in just five holes. It was unfortunate as Tringale just could not climb out of the funk. There were missed shots and putts galore in a display that was rough for anyone. Give Tringale […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMax Homa Not Playing The Greatest as British Open Looms
It has been a tough fight for Max Homa the past couple of months. He missed the cut in several tournaments including the PGA and US Open. He did play better at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and finished off the tournament with a solid 68 to finish tied for 25th. Again, the problem with Homa […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJason Kokrak Intriguing Golfer Heading into British Open
Jason Kokrak is capable of putting well and putting some rounds together at the non-majors. He won the Charles Schwab on Memorial Day Weekend with an even-par 70 as he contained himself well when it mattered most. The problem is that at the majors, Kokrak has not had the same composure. He missed the cut […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoScottie Scheffler Contending at British Open Very Possible
Scottie Scheffler has the game to thrive at the British Open. Look at his record over the past few majors and major-like tournaments. He has the ability to stay in these championships and fight well. There is the tied-8th at the PGA, the third at The Memorial, and the tied for seventh at the US […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt Wallace a Bit Dicey Heading into British Open
Matt Wallace missed the cut at the PGA and US Open in his last two majors. The English golfer did finish tied for sixth at the Wells Fargo Championship two months ago. His ability to hit from tee to green is solid but some unforced errors via tee shots have been problematic. Wallace had fewer […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBrendan Todd May Have Some Upside at British Open
Brendan Todd does not hit the ball long but he hits it straight. Todd tops the PGA Tour in driving accuracy at 75.2%. He also gains 0.792 strokes while putting which ranks second. What are the problems then? Simply, the American golfer has to get to the green to make the putts. Greens in regulation […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoLee Westwood Might Falter Over Weekend at British Open
The concern with Lee Westwood is not how he starts but really how he finishes. The 48-year-old has been great in his last few majors on Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday tell a different tale. He shot a 77 on Sunday in particular at the PGA Championship. Then, at the US Open, it was […]
