2021 Masters odds, picks: Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm predictions from model that nailed Reed's win

Dustin Johnson is a seasoned veteran on the PGA Tour, having won 24 tournaments and two major championships. He will enter Thursday's 2021 Masters as the defending champion, and if he's able to repeat at Augusta National, he'll become the first golfer to win back-to-back green jackets since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. However, Johnson will have plenty of stiff competition this week, with the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jon Rahm in the 2021 Masters field.

Johnson will attempt to shake off the rust after finishing 28th or worse in his last three starts on the PGA Tour. According to the latest 2021 Masters odds from William Hill Sportsbook, he is going off as the 9-1 favorite to repeat. DeChambeau, who's looking to win his first green jacket, is close behind at 11-1 on the newest PGA odds board. Before locking in your 2021 Masters picks or entering any PGA DFS tournaments on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to see the 2021 Masters predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

SportsLine's prediction model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been on fire since the return of the PGA Tour in June. In fact, it's up over $10,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

Last month at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, McClure nailed Daniel Berger's win at +1400 in his best bets. McClure was also all over Viktor Hovland's (+2500) victory in the Mayakoba Golf Classic in December. That was one of many huge calls he's made in the past few months.

After nailing Sergio Garcia (+5500) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the Sanderson Farms Championship, McClure finished up over $6,200 yet again on his best bets in that tournament. The model had him in the top five from the start and McClure's best bets included Garcia winning outright. He also finished profitable at the U.S. Open, nailing two of his best bets, including a +1100 top-five bet on Matthew Wolff.

In all, the advanced computer model has also nailed a whopping six majors entering the weekend, including Patrick Reed's Masters win in 2018. Anyone who has followed its golf picks has seen massive returns.

Now that the 2021 Masters field is taking shape, SportsLine simulated the event 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard.

One huge shocker the model is calling for at the Masters 2021: Jordan Spieth, an 11-time PGA Tour winner and 2015 Masters champion, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 10.

Spieth had plenty of success at Augusta National early in his career, winning in 2015 and earning runner-up finishes in 2014 and 2016. He also secured a third-place finish at the Masters in 2018. However, the three-time major champion has struggled in his last two starts at Augusta, finishing 21st or worse in 2019 and 2020.

In addition, he enters the 2021 Masters Tournament ranked 165th in greens in regulation percentage (64.17), which can cause major trouble at Augusta National despite his win in last week's Texas Open. SportsLine's model believes Spieth's struggles will continue this week at Augusta National, so look elsewhere when locking in your 2021 Masters bets.

Another one of the model's 2021 Masters predictions: Rory McIlroy, who is still searching for his first green jacket, makes a strong run at completing his career grand slam.

McIlroy has already come perilously close to winning at Augusta National since his last major victory at the 2014 PGA Championship, finishing in the top 10 in five of his last six starts and never finishing worse than 21st. The 31-year-old has made it clear that the Masters is the event he wants to win most with wins in the three other major championships already under his belt.

McIlroy has slipped to No. 12 in the world after holding the No. 1 spot for several months, but he's still a stellar driver who knows his way around Augusta National Golf Club. McIlroy currently ranks third on tour in strokes gained off the tee and has shot under par in 30 of the 46 rounds he's played at the Masters.

The model is also targeting five golfers with odds longer than 20-1 to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these underdogs could hit it big. You can only see them here.
