Bet on NFL Hall of Fame Game: The Indianapolis Colts
When you bet on NFL Hall of Fame Game this year between the Indianapolis Colts and the Green Bay Packers, you might want to keep in mind this little tidbit: Colts head coach Chuck Pagano intends to start his, well, starters for the 2016 edition of the match. “Everybody’s going to play,” Pagano said. Even the kid that always gets picked last? This is football betting site-worthy news because this is an exhibition game – it’s even less relevant than the rest of the preseason. That is to say, coaches very seldom play starters, and not for very long when they do.
After Snowy End Miami is Looking to turn up the Heat
NCAA Football betting fans that tuned in for last year’s Sun Bowl got to watch a game that didn’t lake excitement, but was lacking in sun. Amidst a flurry of snow Washington State was able to overcome Miami 20 – 14. Washington State games are notorious for being crazy and this was no exception. The 1st half was manageable, but during the second the snow became so intense that even the cameraman was unable to keep track of the ball. If the cameraman struggled you can only imagine the difficulties facing Miami who are not accustomed to playing in such severe weather.
Woodley Lays Down the Law
UFC betting fans that had a premonition regarding Woodley’s upset are feeling pretty good right about now. In a stunning flash the contender was able to land a vicious right hook that send the former champion to the ground. While some sportsbook users may have seen it coming, to say that the world of UFC betting was shocked would be an understatement. The ‘Chosen One’ upsetting Lawler is impressive enough, but to do it in the fashion that he did was unimaginable. Woodley stayed true to his nature, start out fast and try to land that skull-crushing right hand. Many expected Lawler to be more reserved, which is his usual tactic, but what was unexpected was how quickly Woodley knocked Lawler down. Up until this point Lawler’s title defends were riddled with heavy hits, proving time and time again his inhuman resilience. Apparently those fights had taken a toll on the former champ and Woodley was able to capitalize on a weary Lawler. His first hook sent him to the ground, and his second ensured Lawler wouldn’t get up. As UFC betting fans prepare for UFC 202 one thing is undisputable, Tyron Woodley is the new welterweight champion.
Calipari’s Recruits make the rest of NCAA look like Calamari
Now that college basketball is less than four months away NCAA basketball betting fans can hardly contain their excitement. After the way the men’s tournament came to an end last season, fans are expecting this year to be even more thrilling. Kris Jenkins, who plays for Villanova, was able to drain a three-pointer on a last second buzzer beater that sealed the deal for the Wildcats. The Tar Heels were forced to return home as losers and another tournament was in the books. While those two schools made it all the way to the finals, they certainly aren’t the favorites to win it all next season. That honor belongs to none other than Duke, but close behind them is Kentucky. Having college basketball legend Coach K at the helm is enough to put any team near the top of the sportsbooks, but Duke’s recruiting class for next year is one of the best NCAA basketball betting has seen in a long time. The Blue Devils +310 odds show the immense expectations that are riding on this team, but Kentucky’s +730 odds are an indication of what they’ll be able to accomplish this upcoming season. While a second round loss was a big disappointment last season, behind 8th year head coach John Calipari the Wildcats are poised to win it all.
Irish to Fight for National Title
College football begins on August 27th, but NCAA Football betting fans don’t have to wait until then to pick their favorite for next year’s title. The sportsbooks might tell you there are only two teams who are contending for next year’s national championship (Alabama and Clemson are currently tied for favorites with +730 odds) but NCAA Football betting fans know the sport is riddled with surprises. One school whose 2016 success might not come off as a complete surprise is Notre Dame.
