Boxing Betting – Mayweather Ready To Ruin Marquez

The online betting community is curious to see how the Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather versus Juan Maneul Marquez fight plays out on a number of levels. On one hand, there is the fight itself and the return of Mayweather from retirement. On the other hand, there is the fact that boxing will for the first time go head-to-head with UFC as UFC 103, Belfort-Franklin on the same day (September 19th).

There has been some friction between the two sports this year and even though most people betting in their offshore sportsbook will find a way to watch both fights, it’s a really big statement to see which one wins out. For boxing, Mayweather Jr. is arguably their biggest draw and when you compare it to the UFC card, there really is much to compare with. Rich Franklin is a so-so fighter while Vitor Belfort is back in the UFC after fighting in other leagues over the last couple of years. It isn’t exactly Brock Lesnar versus Frank Mir.

For boxing, they can’t lose this fight – pun intended. Not a single sports betting blog would pick UFC to have the higher ratings and if it did, it would be a huge upset. It would also signal that boxing is truly on the decline.

Just as badly as boxing can’t lose this fight in the ratings, they can’t have their superstar, “Money” Mayweather lose this fight in the ring either. Don’t get it twisted: while Marquez is a good figther, he’s not the reason people are buying pay-per-views next weekend. This fight will truly be about Mayweather and beyond that, it will be a precursor for Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao in early 2010.

Mayweather has a few advantages in this fight, including size, which isn’t typically something that’s on his side. Mayweather is still lightning fast and is still untouchable, but he will also have a better chance to hurt Marquez because he is the bigger fighter.

Sports betting system picks all have Mayweather listed and the sportsbooks have set up a huge line in favor of Mayweather, which obviously gives the impression that they don’t believe Marquez can win. It should be a very interesting fight on September 19th between Mayweather and Marquez, and between boxing and UFC. Make sure you tune in.

Colorado vs. Toledo ESPN Daily Line

In what has been one of the better starts ever for sharp gamblers, but a horrible beginning for the square player resumes tonight at Colorado travels to Toledo in nonconference action. The ESPN betting odds has the Buffs at -3.5 at every sportsbook

Handicapping notes: Toledo is 2-0 straight up to Big 12 foes in the last four years. They’ve beaten a BCS opponent three straight years. Each team is off a horrible loss, Toledo by 21 against Purdue and Colorado imploded at home to CSU.

In that game, the Rams allowed five plays of 20 yards or longer.

As a result of the embarrassing loss to CSU, this is probably the biggest game of CU coach Dan Hawkins career. He is a very disappointing 13-25 straight up since taking over at Colorado.

It’s a short week for both, but more so for Colorado which played on Sunday. The Rockets played Saturday. Toledo is 44-11 straight up their last 55 home games.

Colorado strong safety Patrick Mahnke is probable after missing last week and the Buffs will need him. Last week Toledo threw the ball 67 times.

Many experts expected this to be the breakout year for Buffs RB Darrell Scott, yet he was benched last week because of struggles in pass blocking.

Colorado has a very inexperienced offensive line as three linemen made their first career start last week and a fourth started for the first time at a new position.

Weather should not be a factor here.

Against the spread records: The Buffaloes are 1-7 after scoring less than 20 points in their last contest. They are on an 0-6 skid after getting less than 275 total yards previous game.

Toledo RB Morgan Williams is out, serving the back end of a two-game suspension.

The Rockets are 27-13 in their last 40 home games, but 2-8 as an underdog of 3.5-10 points.

Top expert pick on this game: The MasterLockLine has the top plays from the top sports services in their highest ranked sports. That’s why it’s 25-9 in football including 10-2 in NCAAF.

The Duke, Jonathan Mardukas built up a large scorephone following over the last dozen or so years.  With a database that goes back to 1980 the MasterLockLine say he is the top ranked college and pro football handicapper EVER. Already 2-0 with his record shattering college football plays on the power of 620 sports services behind every selection.

Football Betting – Fighting Irish, Wolverines Try To Relive Past Glories

Football betting players have stayed away from the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry in recent years, as the storied programs have gone downhill. Saturday’s meeting between the Wolverines and the No.18 Fighting Irish at Michigan’s “Big House” will be a barometer of how far these teams have come, and it features two coaches on the hot seat.

Notre Dame vs Michigan odds – Saturday, September 12, 3:30 PM ET

The Irish romped to a 35-0 win over Nevada, and Jimmy Clausen looked impressive, completing 15 of his 18 passes for 315 yards and four touchdowns. The junior was highly touted when he arrived at South Bend, and he looks like he’s finally ready to fulfill that potential. The defense was great on third down, stopping Nevada nine of 11 times, but allowing 153 yards on the ground isn’t a good look. The Irish also forced three turnovers, but they have to be better against the run to be a legitimate betting online candidate.

The Wolverines may have put their best performance together under Rich Rodriguez in a 31-7 win over Western Michigan, and Tate Forcier had a very good collegiate debut, going 13-of-20 for 179 yards and three touchdowns. The Wolverines racked up 242 rushing yards against Western Michigan, and they held the ball for over 34 minutes. The defense forced three turnovers, and most of their allowed yardage game late in the game.

Betting services have the Irish as a 3-point favorite at the “Big House”, where they’ve dropped four of their last five visits. Rodriguez and Notre Dame counterpart Charlie Weis have a lot on the line this year, and a win over a longtime rival would definitely help their cause. They key to this game will be quarterback play: Clausen is more experienced than any of the three Michigan quarterbacks slated to play, and even though Forcier will probably take most of the snaps, this is a big stage for a freshman quarterback. The Wolverines won’t commit six turnovers like last year, we’re thinking more like three, while Clausen will take care of the ball. Take the Fighting Irish in Saturday’s sports picks.

Free NFL Pick: Titans-Steelers From Elite Football Handicapper

The Tennessee Titans take on the Pittsburgh Steelers to open the NFL betting season. The latest NFL point spread has Pittsburgh -6, but we are concerned here with the total which is 35.

The top NFL handicapping expert of all-time is GodsTips and they say go with the over 35.

Tennessee is actually going to spread out their offense tonight. They used two tight ends and two wide receivers during the preseason. Tonight they will use tight ends Bo Scaife and Alge Crumpler in the slot at times to open up the field.

Both teams will blitz heavily tonight, but that means it will be difficult for sustained drives, the heart of each offense. There will be more big plays that the sportsbooks expect.

Of course the biggest loss on either side of the ball for either team is the Titans losing their best defensive player Albert Haynesworth. Also Jevon Kearse and Kyle Vanden Bosch are not 100 percent.

Pittsburgh is without a key defensive player Lawrence Timmons.

The Steelers now have a great running game with Willie Parker battling for a new contract and last year’s first rounder Rashard Mendenhall healthy. This will give Ben Roethlisberger more time to exploit Tennessee‘s soft, two-deep zone.

Tennessee already had one of the great running games with LenDale White and Chris Johnson, but added WRs top pick Kenny Britt and free agent Nate Washington. Granted Washington is a game time decision but Britt is a big time player.

The pick: Titans-Steelers over 35.

Where to bet: It’s BetUs Sportsbook‘s Game of the Week. They are offering bettors $100 to sign up today. They also have endless pro bets such as who will score the first touchdown.

Willie Parker, Chris Johnson, LenDale White, Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward, and Rashard Mendenhall all have odds of less than 10-1.

Want to bet the over/under on the pass completions of Kerry Collins or Ben Roethlisberger? BetUs has betting lines on all of the above.

Top expert pick on this game: No handicapper dominates any sport the way Joe Duffy’s GodsTips does the NFL.

You are right. GodsTips is much better than 32-20 in football and now our best time is here. Remember in week 3 of the preseason, which emulates the regular season, we went 8-2.
