2026 PGA Arnold Palmer Invitational Odds and Predictions

February 23, 2026 By Logan Rogers

Bay Hill is a par-72, 7,466-yard test with TifEagle Bermudagrass greens, and it’s built to stress long-iron approaches (200+ yards) and decision-making off the tee. With penal rough and water hazards on 15 holes, this is a week where you can’t fake your “non-negotiables” for ball-striking.

February 19, 2026 By Logan Rogers

The Autotrader 400 runs Sunday, February 22, 2026 (3:00 p.m. ET) at EchoPark Speedway. It’s an early-season points race with a superspeedway-style draft dynamic meaning a single finish can swing momentum fast, especially coming right off Daytona. Atlanta’s current configuration races like a pack track: big runs, lane volatility, and constant “who’s pushing who” math. One mistimed block can wipe out three teams’ Sundays. The storyline is clean: Tyler Reddick comes in as the Daytona 500 winner, Christopher Bell is the most recent spring Atlanta winner, and Team Penske sits in the middle of the odds board like it expects to control the lanes. Let’s get to the numbers and build a card around survivability plus late-race ceiling. EchoPark Speedway

How PASPA’s Overturning Has Altered The USAs Economy

February 12, 2026 By Tyler Williams | Sports Betting

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was in place from 1992 until it was overturned on May 14, 2018. PASPA prohibited states from authorizing or operating sports betting schemes. The only exceptions were states that already had sports betting before 1992, but few did. Once the law was overturned in 2018, the US economy reacted in numerous ways. Read on to find out how. Signed by President George H. W. Bush, the PASPA Act placed a blanket ban on legal sports betting.
