2025 The Masters picks, predictions, best bets by Chris "The Bear" Fallica

"Bear Bets" are real wagers that Chris "The Bear" Fallica is actually making.

People who have been following me know that, during football season, I have weekly picks on NFL and college football. 

But with both of those seasons behind us, I'm giving you some non-football futures wagers that I like.

With that in mind, let's dive into my picks for The Masters.

Scottie Scheffler to win The Masters

Scheffler hasn’t won yet this year, but he’s got a couple of top-three finishes and is seeking his third win in four years. Do I like taking 9/2 on him? No. But there’s a chance he goes out early Thursday and posts 69 or 70, and he’ll never be longer than that price.

PICK: Scottie Scheffler (+450) to win The Masters

Jon Rahm  to win The Masters, top 10, top 20

It seems the only thing we hear about Rahm these days is about his potential LIV-PGA Tour deal. Remember, this is a guy who has a green jacket and has four other top-10s in Augusta. If we get some more rain in the area, that could definitely help him (and Scottie Scheffler, too) on the greens. 

PICK: John Rahm (+1300) to win The Masters
PICK: John Rahm (+125) top-10 finish
PICK: John Rahm (-190) top-20 finish

Bryson DeChambeau to win The Masters, top 10, top 20

In his last 10 rounds at Augusta, DeChambeau has two rounds of 67 or better and six rounds of 75 or worse. He’s paid the price for his Par 67 comment, and after his U.S. Open win last year, it feels like his whole persona changed. He seems looser and gone is the bulked-up Bryson. Maybe that will help him here, as he looks to tame a course he’s struggled with for the most part. 

PICK: Bryson DeChambeau (+2000) to win The Masters
PICK: Bryson DeChambeau (+160) top-10 finish
PICK: Bryson
