Default If you could only make 1 bet in the next two weeks....

What would it be? This should be the one for which you have the most confidence. Mine is J. Taylor over Hopkins. Any sport, doesnt matter.

My bet is Bernard Hopkins over Taylor. Without the typical slow start from Hopkins in the last fight it would not have even been close. Taylor barely squeezed the fight out on points. Do you really think that Taylor is the better boxer? When Hopkins turned it on later in the fight he clearly dominated. He was angered by the loss and won't come out so passive this time. Hopkins is a master and Taylor will get his best fight this time. Taylor is no slouch and he also is angry at the lack of respect he received for the controversial decision but he is overmatched.

I disagree. Hopkins has made his name over the years fighting fish. He is always slow to warm up which right off the bat will give Taylor the advantage. This one is HIGHLY likely to go the distance and Hopkins will fail to produce the number of punches necessary to win it on points. Many people agree with you however. The initial line favored Taylor, now Hopkins is becoming the favorite on most sports books. I think this is easily going to Taylor.

How can you know this before you know all the lines?

Anyway, the Bengals, I guess.

I don't need to know the line to know that the Colts next week at Jacksonville is the bet. This week they will win easy but probably won't have much motivation against a crappy opponent. Next week they will show who they are by winning by 80 against a decent team on the road. I would bet my whole bankroll on -50 or better.
