Landon Donovan back to Soccer Betting Favorites Galaxy
The LA Galaxy is the odds-on soccer betting favorite to win the 2016 MLS Cup, and the return of the greatest male American soccer player of all-time to the team does no favors to the remaining squads. For people who only started to bet on soccer after 2014, Landon Donovan has won a record six MLS Cups, and is the league's all-time top scorer with 144 goals and the league's all-time assists leader with 136. Moreover, Donovan is the all-time leader in scoring and assists for the United States men's national team. He may have won the Major League Soccer MVP Award only once, but it’s telling that Major League Soccer changed the name of the award to the Landon Donovan MVP Award following his retirement.
Falcons to test Their Wings against the Bucs
NFL betting action will take off this weekend and once the dust is settled half the teams in the league will no longer be undefeated. There are a variety of games that fans can tune in for or even wager on. One heated matchup that will over those opportunities is the contest between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. Neither team qualified for the playoffs last season, but they’ll be eager to start 2016 by coming one step closer to their goals, although, ‘goals’ has a completely different definition for each team.
Trojans Looking to Bounce Back Against Utah State
USC opened the season as college football betting underdogs against the Alabama Crimson Tide, and just like the odds predicted, the Tide rolled over the Trojans. Entering Week 2 USC won’t have to face the Nation’s No. 1 and needless to say, they will face a much weaker opponent, Utah State. The Aggies don’t consider themselves a weak team and their performance in Week 1 speaks to the contrary.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Tennessee Titans Odds Week 1

Clemson Needs a Strong Outing Against Troy
The No. 2 Clemson Tigers were eager to begin the season and prove themselves worthy of being one of this year’s football betting favorites. However, their performance in the season opener left a lot to be desired. Sure, the Tigers came out on top of the Auburn Tigers 19-13 but they didn’t exactly dominate. In fact it was one of the worst performances a Clemson team has given in over a year. It’s the first time in 11 games that the high powered Clemson offense failed to gain at least 500 yards in total offense, and the first time since the 2014 season that the Tigers failed to score 20 points minimum. Many consider Clemson to be the frontrunner to contend Alabama for the title this season, but if you were to compare their opening games it’d be clear that the Tigers are clearly outmatched.

Super Bowl Rematch Preview
The rematch of Super Bowl L will be taking place this Thursday which can only mean one thing: the NFL betting season is finally upon us. Last year had its share of moments but one of the most memorable came in the Super Bowl itself. Peyton Manning had spent 18 years in the NFL and in those 18 years he earned a reputation as one of the best to ever pick up a football. More so, Manning was notorious for his 4th quarter comebacks in which Manning had to take the hopes of a team with a lackluster defense on his shoulders. Too many times Manning would lead his team to an early lead only to have the defense come up short, ultimately resulting in the opposition taking back the lead.
