3 Good Bets for the Weekend

[Indiana]

In order of value:

1. Falcons -6
2. Colts under 45
3. Tarver over RJJr. Here I have to explain: The price is now getting down towards -160 or even -150 in lots of places so plenty of people are betting RJJ. This is a big mistake. Tarver is a horrible matchup for RJJ for many reasons. First, Tarver is truly a much bigger man with a larger frame. Let's face it, he knocked RJJ out last time with a single punch in round 2. Further, RJJ is not a big puncher and will unlikely be able to effectively hurt Tarver to the point where the fight will turn. Finally, Tarver has had some very high quality fights in the last 18 months while RJJ has been jawing it up next to Merchant and Lampley on HBO. Traditionally, the public has cheered for the comeback guy. But before you make a bet on RJJ you better consider the style disadvantage going in.
