With just over a week until Super Bowl LIX on FOX, let’s explore some intriguing betting opportunities outside of football.

French Open

Iga Swiatek suffered a defeat against the eventual Australian Open winner, Madison Keys, in a dramatic semifinal. However, this is the time of year that Swiatek thrives, dominating hardcourt and clay seasons. She has already secured four French Open titles, including the last three. The odds for her victory will likely decrease as the tournament approaches.

PICK: Iga Swiatek (-175) to win French Open

NBA Western Conference

Yes, that’s right; I actually have an NBA bet! The Oklahoma City Thunder currently boasts the best record in the West by five games and is set to improve further with Chet Holmgren coming back from injury. Given the depth of the West, it seems plausible that the Thunder could advance to the Finals for the first time in years.

PICK: Thunder (+110) to win Western Conference

Premier League and League Cup

Liverpool is heavily favored at around -450 to win the Premier League and is also in the semifinals of the League Cup. Their six-point lead over Arsenal (with a game in hand) and a healthier squad positions them as strong contenders for both titles.

PICK: Liverpool (+125) to win Premier League and League Cup

Masters Tournament

Will Zalatoris has faced setbacks due to injuries, but signs suggest he is regaining his top form with multiple strong finishes at the Masters. Betting on a fit Zalatoris could be worth the stake.

PICK: Will Zalatoris (46-1) to win Masters
