NFL due for a huge scoring weekend according to bookies

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

The analysts have spoken. And i am in total disagreement. I believe it will be a wildly uneventful scoring weekend with more of the same and perhaps more focus on defenses than earlier in the season. Expect the high scorers to be limited and very few suprises.

Thats´my take. Lets see what the experts have to say:

Online sportsbook customers and sports betting enthusiasts will be in store for a wild weekend of NFL betting action. NFL betting lines are bulging as two of the week’s hottest bets have opened up, the Redskins vs. Cowboys matchup and the Packers vs. Buccaneers matchup.

Washington Redskins (+11) @ Dallas Cowboys (-11)

The NFL’s most storied rivalry will be rekindled on Sunday, which will bring forth one of the NFL football picks of the week. Tony Romo and his crew have been in high gear since Week 1, and haven’t had any trouble in putting points on the board and covering NFL football spreads thus far.

Marion Barber has been an absolute wrecking machine, torching the Packers for 142 yards last week, and has looked as unstoppable as ever on the goal line.

Lance Armstrong Returns, and the oddsmakers weigh in

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Lance Armstrong announced his return to the cycling world and i am sure that bookies were busy taking bets on his odds of winning the 2009 Tour De France. Personally I wouldnt bet against him that is for damn sure.

I am uncertain of the actual odds but this time around he will face public scrutiny, scrutiny from antidoping agencies and from news media. This would be his most challenging task since well defeating cancer. Which I believe is the whole point of staging a comeback.

To promote cancer awareness and research. For that you have to applaud the man… And bet on him!
