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.

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

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
Notre Dame vs Michigan odds – Saturday, September 12, 3:30 PM ET
The Irish romped to a 35-0 win over
The Wolverines may have put their best performance together under Rich Rodriguez in a 31-7 win over
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.
