Why the Seahawks Should Pay Russell Wilson

Posted by | Apr 4, 2019 |

The Seattle Seahawks were issued a deadline on Russell Wilson’s new deal.  The big question going around the NFL at the moment is “will Russell Wilson finish his career in with the Seattle Seahawks?” Back in January, their veteran franchise quarterback made it clear to the team that he wants to get a new deal done this offseason. Specifically by April 15th. Yes, there is a deadline, and no, the Seahawks are not surprised by this. Wilson is set to take on his contract year, and like many quarterbacks, he wants to know that he’s locked into something long-term a year before the real negotiation time. If not, we can expect hold outs, demanded trades, and a potential re-signing elsewhere. Will the Seahawks let this one slip through the cracks? Probably not. But we’ve seen crazier things happen. However, keeping Wilson happy should be the number one priority for the Seahawks right now.  Seahawks fans will not tolerate losing their star quarterback.  Right now the team’s fans are as invested as ever.  They are attending games and betting heavily on the team.  Speaking of betting, this Bovada mobile app review is worth looking at if you are interested in betting on football. And not just because he’s the quarterback, but because he’s easily been the most valuable player on their team for quite a while now. We’ve seen the...

How To Improve Stamina

Posted by | Mar 29, 2019 |

Amateur and especially professional athletes know a lot of methods they can use to enhance their stamina. However, if you are not an athlete (yet), where to start? Many people believe they should start running long distances, but since this requires equipment, effort, and time, most people never do. And actually, this is good news, because running long distances tomorrow if today you are a non-moving while-collar is a dangerous idea. Most newbie runners are not ready for serious physical punishment, and as a result, they face numerous traumas and health issues instead of improved health. How to start, then? Step by step, literally. If you prefer other types of entertainment and enjoy spending your time sitting in front of the computer, check out possibilities reviewed by HookupGeek as you will probably find them more attractive. But for those who would like to improve their physique, stamina, and health in general, the following recommendations will be useful. https://www.besthealthmag.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2018/04/Run-club-woman-running.jpg Walking This may sound primitive and dumpy, but the first thing you should do is start walking, every day. If movement is not your thing and the route from sofa to the fridge is the longest you usually cope with on foot, then pick your usual speed of walking, and slowly increase the distance. As your distance increases, you will find out you want to spend less time on it, so...

MLB teams with unusual 2019 playoff odds

Posted by | Mar 22, 2019 | ,

The 2019 MLB regular season is technically underway with the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics playing two games in Japan this week. But that was basically a tease — now we have to wait just under a week for more games that count and the pomp and circumstance that comes with Opening Day. Game 1 of 162 is always memorable for a number of reasons. Whether a team is projected to be a playoff contender or not, anything can happen and everyone has a clean slate. Baseball fans are already using their Betfred sign up offers to wager on their favorite teams. While we wait for the rest of baseball to close the book on spring training, there are always projections to help pass the time. The below table shows each team’s playoff odds from best to worst heading into 2019, per FanGraphs (as of March 21st). Obviously, the first thing that jumps out here is how top-heavy the American League looks, boasting the majority of the Best Baseball Players in the league for a second straight year. After watching the Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros all finish with 100-plus wins in 2018, they’re projected to be pretty good again this year (as are the Indians). However, there are eight other MLB teams that enter the 2019 season with intriguing odds when it comes to punching a ticket to...

Why is it important for MMA fighters to wear mouthguards?

Posted by | Mar 19, 2019 |

MMA fighting has risen in popularity over the last decade. The likes of Conor Mcgregor and Ronda Rousey are two of MMA’s biggest stars and they have sparked new life into the sport. MMA is a full contact sport notorious for its intensity and brutality. MMA has a high injury rate, the injury rate amongst fighters is estimated at 23%, this is higher than other full contact sports such as judo, taekwondo and boxing. Over 66% of MMA injuries are head injuries, of those head injuries 59% are dental related injuries. One quick look at the injury statistics of MMA fighting and it is clear why mouthguards are a must have protective item for all MMA fighters. Besides the statistics let’s take a further look at why it is important for MMA fighters to wear mouthguards. Dental protection Repeated contact to an MMA fighters face can lead to serious dental injuries. During a fight it is common for a fighter to get punched and/or kicked in the face, this contact will more often than not lead to severe dental injuries if a well fitted mouthguard isn’t used. Dental injuries are painful, repeated trips to the dentist are also painful and uncomfortable. Dental services are also expensive, repeated dental injuries due to MMA fighting can become very expensive if you don’t have serious dental insurance. A high-quality mouthguard won’t just...

March Madness 2019 – Sleepers, Top Picks and Duds

Posted by | Mar 16, 2019 |

US sports betting regulation is moving at quite a pace since the PASPA repeal, with over a dozen states having already taken steps towards legalization. The growth trajectory of US sports betting markets has been impressive – NJ sportsbook revenue alone hit over $90 million in the first six months. With the first March Madness since the legalization of sports betting set to tip-off, we’ve got a few tips to help you make a smart wager or two. We think there’s some great value in the market, which is one of the reasons we’ll be taking a closer look at some of the tournament’s underdogs. We’ll also have a look at some of the hot favourites and tell you which teams you should avoid at all costs. Sleepers How often do we see a team coming out of nowhere and challenging the line up? It’s such a beautiful sight. Personally, we love nothing more than an underdog. Here are the teams we think might cause an upset: The first team we want to talk about is the Wisconsin Badgers. The incredibly talented Ethan Happ will lead the line for them. If he plays with the power and prowess that he usually displays, then we’re confident the Badgers will be in the mix at the business end of the tournament. Our second sleeper is Nevada. The Wolf Pack are currently...

Coming Soon: Fulham v Liverpool

Posted by | Mar 16, 2019 |

On Sunday 17th March Liverpool will take on Fulham at Craven Cottage and with this season’s end starting to loom large the two sides have very different aims in mind. BonusBets.com looks at this game and the current standing of these two EPL teams. Fulham is focussing their attention on staying in the Premier League, a feat that sadly looks slightly impossible at this stage as they are over 10 points behind the safe zone at the moment, sitting in 19th place. For them, the points would help their cause, but frankly, it looks unlikely they can do more than watch Liverpool stomp all over them. In their last six matches, they have lost every time which is hardly a record that will unnerve the higher ranking clubs even in a game away from home. The player to watch in this team is Tom Cairney who is a sharp left-footed midfielder. If anyone can get past Liverpool’s defence, it will be him. He started his career as a youth player for Leeds and moved to Hull City in 2007. He was their Young Player of the Year in 2008/2009. In 2013 he moved to Blackburn on loan, a move that was made permanent in 2014 where he stayed until the end of the season when he moved to Fulham in 2015 and is now one of their more experienced...

Coming Soon: Everton V Chelsea

Posted by | Mar 16, 2019 |

The end of the premier league seasons seems to be looming now, and teams are making their last-ditch attempts to hit the highest placing they can before the May end. On Sunday night Everton and Chelsea will be meeting at Goodison Park, and freetips.com looks at the form of both teams ahead of the match on March 17th. Home team Everton is not having the best season and currently find themselves in eleventh place on the table. It is unlikely this will change by more than one place either way with both Leicester City and Bournemouth right in the same area either side of them. There is a possibility that they could win the match, but they are indeed not the favourites, a draw would be more likely should Chelsea fail to win. Looking back the last two occasions that these teams went head to head both matches ended in a draw, which Chelsea will be keen to avoid. Their last away win against the team was in April 2017 when they took a three-nil victory in a Premier League game. In October 2017 Chelsea won again but this time at home. As a team, Chelsea will be focusing on trying to get the fourth spot on the table, but this could be a step too far as currently, they sit in sixth and both current fourth-place Arsenal and...

DeSean Jackson is Back in Philly

Posted by | Mar 15, 2019 |

A DeSean Jackson-Philadelphia Eagles is in the works, according to a recent social media post from the speedy wide receiver. Jackson, who was drafted by the Eagles and played for the team from 2008-13, appears to miss the City of Brotherly Love. That, or he just really wants out of Tampa Bay. Whatever the reason, D-Jax took to Instagram on Monday, and he bid Tampa Bay farewell — hinting at him leaving the team.  Eagles fans immediately went to use their PA lottery bonus code to place bets on the Eagles in anticipation of the trade. Jackson would count for $10 million toward the team’s salary cap, so it’s looking like it would be mutually beneficial for the team to move him. His usage rate declines substantially with Jameis Winston under center, rather than Ryan Fitzpatrick, so he wants to go somewhere where he can make plays. The team reportedly hasn’t found any takers yet, though. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not finding any takers in a trade for DeSean Jackson. I’m told for now… the plan is to keep him on the roster. Key words “for now” — Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) March 11, 2019 Philadelphia or Los Angeles (Rams) were potential landing spots, as Jackson stated that he’d like to play there a few weeks ago. 🚨Where‘s DeSean Jackson headed next season? “I would like to end up...

Wrapping Up the Le’Veon Bell Deal

Posted by | Mar 15, 2019 |

Bell Has No Regrets Le’Veon Bell made his free agency decision, and he’ll be suiting up in the Jets backfield, likely for the next four years (barring a trade). Still, he left $14.5 million on the table last season, and he’ll never recoup that money. Jets fans, however, are fired up by the signing and are already using the Sugarhouse app to place wagers on the team for the 2019 season. Bell ended up settling for a $52.5 million contract, with $35 million guaranteed, and in doing the math, it’s really looking like he should’ve played last season on the franchise tag. However, he doesn’t seem to feel that way. He spoke to reporters at his introductory press conference on Thursday, and he made it very clear that he doesn’t have any regrets sitting out last season. “I don’t regret anything that happened,” Bell said, as transcribed by NFL.com. “Obviously, everything happened for a reason. Who can say if I played last year if I do go out there and play on a one-year (deal) or franchise tag that I do get hurt, do I end up sitting here today being with the New York Jets? On the other side of it, if I go out there and do play on the franchise tag and I get another 400 carries, who’s to say that a team would pay me...

Essential Fantasy Football Supplies

Posted by | Mar 13, 2019 |

Football is big business. It’s the most popular sport in America, for one thing. 37 percent of respondents called it their favorite sport in a 2018 Gallup Poll. That’s way ahead of baseball, which garnered the support of nine percent of people polled. And since football has such a huge following, fantasy football does as well. If you know anyone who plays fantasy sports, then there’s a good chance that sport is football. It’s a good game for both casual fans and diehards. But if you want to succeed at the game, you’ll need to be a lot closer to a diehard. Here are some essential fantasy football supplies you should know about before the 2019 season kicks off. Statistics You can’t just go into fantasy football season without looking at statistics from the most recent season. In fact, you need the last few seasons to really get a full picture of a player. A player could have a great 2018, for instance, but that doesn’t mean they’re worth drafting in your league in 2019. One good season is impressive, and it may help that player get a good contract down the line, but it’s not necessarily going to help your fantasy league. You need to look for patterns, and there’s no better way to do that than by looking at statistics. Nick Foles is one of the best...

Rangers News: James Tavernier of Rangers was attacked by a Hibernian fan last night at Easter Road. The Light Blues went head to head with the Hibs in the Championship fixture last night.

Rennes v Arsenal: Europa League preview, team news and betting

Posted by | Mar 6, 2019 |

Arsenal will travel to France to take on Rennes in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday evening [5.55pm GMT kick off]. Unai Emery has an excellent pedigree in the Europa League having won the competition 3 times during his stint at Sevilla so Arsenal fans will be hoping he can replicate that kind of success in England. The Gunners eased through the last round thanks to a comfortable 3-0 second leg victory over BATE Borisov at the Emirates Stadium which secured a 3-1 aggregate win for the north Londoners. Rennes could provide a stiffer test as the Ligue 1 outfit looked impressive en route to a 6-4 aggregate win over Real Betis in the last round so Arsenal won’t be taking anything for granted on Thursday evening. Arsenal head in to the game off the back of a dramatic 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the north London derby at Wembley on Saturday. The Gunners missed a late penalty to snatch all three points after Harry Kane had scored a controversial penalty to level things up in the second half. Team news Alexandre Lacazette will miss the game through suspension after being sent off during the final stages of the win over BATE so Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should start up front. Lucas Torreira will miss Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Man Utd on Sunday due to...

Belichick’s coaching acumen sets New England apart from the rest

Posted by | Mar 6, 2019 |

The final game of the 2019 NFL season was a history-making affair, with the 16 point total scored by New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams the lowest number recorded in a title match during the Super Bowl era. The Patriots claimed their sixth NFL championship with a comfortable 13-3 success that never looked in doubt from the moment they took the lead in the first-half. Los Angeles’ prolific offense was brutally stifled by a coaching masterclass from Bill Belichick that prevented the Rams from running a single play inside New England’s 26-yard line during the game. Punters betting on American football had piled plenty of money on the Rams in the run-up to the game off the back of some impressive performances during the regular season and play-offs. The Rams’ offense had been superb for much of the campaign, scoring the second-most points and gaining the second-most yards on the road to the Super Bowl. However, the Patriots dismantled the Rams’ much-vaunted offensive line, shut down their skill players and left quarterback Jared Goff looking like a bemused and broken man. Belichick shocked the Rams by starting in zone defense after playing man-to-man all season and they were unable to adapt their own game to any great effect. Rams’ head coach Sean McVay admitted after the match that he had been “out-coached” by Belichick and the statistics certainly...
