This Golfer is 100-1 Odds and Right on the FedEx Playoffs Bubble. Should You Make the Bet?

It's win-or-go-home for many players at the Wyndham Championship. Here are the pros our hosts recommend for betting and daily fantasy games this week.

In the latest episode of Gaming Golf, our hosts gather to discuss this week's Wyndham Championship. Sedgefield CC is a par-70 that should set up for birdies galore, and the crew discusses which players look like good bets this week.

Among the top tier of players, Rotowire's Scott Jenstad says it's impossible to overlook Louis Osthuizen's recent form, so he'll add Louis to fantasy lineups. Jenstad also likes Russell Henley and Will Zalatoris. Morning Read's Jeff Ritter is on board with Oosthuizen, and dropping down a tier he's also eyeing Seamus Power, Brandt Snedekar and the "Pride of Slovakia," Rory Sabbatini, who won a silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics.

Among sleepers, Ritter and Jenstad like Bo Hoag, who is 125th in the FedEx standings and has been playing well recently. He needs to stay inside the top 125 to earn a spot in next week's FedEx Playoffs, so motivation should be high. He's 100-1 to win, and the hosts think he's worth a few dollars there as well. 

In the end, there can only be one. Here are the hosts' picks to win in one-and-done pools:

Jeff Erickson: Russell Henley
Scott Jenstad: Webb Simpson
Jeff Ritter: Mito Pereira
