## Resource

In this episode of Inside Sports Network, Andy and Bryan break down betting and DFS strategy for the Valero Texas Open, defending around-the-green play as one of the most predictive stats at this course. They recap a tough Houston Open winning-score bet, note chalk succeeding in DFS, and explain how better projection tools are shifting ownership dynamics. For Valero, they flag a potentially severe and variable wind forecast, possible Thursday delays, thicker rough around three inches, strong course-history correlation, and the importance of short game given low greens-in-regulation rates. They build a sample DFS core around Matsuyama, McNealy, and Spieth, debate overpriced mid-tier options, and discuss value alternatives. The episode closes with brief Tiger news, Masters futures talk, a reminder about the ISN monthly-signup raffle upgrade.
