00:00Why are the odds being actually impacted right now?
00:03You sent out that tweet yesterday.
00:04You know, it's like, you know what?
00:06Europe, plus 170, plus 175 in that range.
00:09Why is the movement more towards the Americans right now than the European team?
00:14Well, I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that, like I just mentioned, the pro court.
00:17The Americans played very good, and they did something that they didn't do before Rome.
00:21The second thing is that you're going to see the European number climb for a little bit before the U.S. team gets there.
00:28And then all the pomp and circumstance of next week takes place, and the media can really dig into what's going on there.
00:34Luke Donald has done this before, guys.
00:36It's not his first rodeo, right?
00:38And even though maybe they're picking the clothes out of Joe Ranieri's, like, South Beach closet down there, the short shorts,
00:44the fact of the matter is that everything that Captain Donald is doing is calculated.
00:50When the Europeans come over here, they came early.
00:53Why?
00:53They are going to be all over the city.
00:55They're going to be all over Long Island.
00:56They are going to be friendly.
00:58They're going to be glad-handing.
00:59They're going to be signing baby's foreheads.
01:00They're going to be doing all of these things to try to engage the crowd as much as they can in a positive nature.
01:06Europe has been doing this since the mid-'80s when Tony Jacklin was the captain, and they're going to do it again now.
01:12We have to be prepared as American fans to not fall for all of Luke Donald's tricks.
01:17And, you know what, as the Americans start to show up and we start to see that, you know what, oh, maybe Xander's not in as great a form in the practice round,
01:26you'll see that plus-170 number drop, and then the American number will drop, and it'll get closer to the middle line as we approach 7, 10 a.m., 10 days from now.
