It’s fitting that the UFC 102 odds feature several of the world’s best submission artists, as several MLB teams have strangleholds on their divisions as we speak. The Angels need a few more series wins to clinch the AL West. They continue their quest against the White Sox, who are fighting to stay alive in the AL Central.
The UFC 102 fight card that takes place next weekend in Portland is highlighted by a main event with two MMA legends, and a light heavyweight tilt between two of the top 205-pounders in the world.

Last year we went out on a limb and predicted that a sleeper team could emerge from the NFC WEST DIVISION and that the Cardinals appeared ready for a breakthrough year.
And like the amazing Karnac, Arizona opened the envelope and answered when the Redbirds came within 30 seconds of winning the Super Bowl.

Here’s another bar bet guaranteed to stack a few extra shot glasses in front of you’re your seat at the bar.
Next to the PAC 10, the SEC and the ACC, name the conference with the 4th best all-time win percentage in bowl games.
It’s not the BIG 10. Not the BIG 12, nor the BIG EAST. It’s the WAC, whose current team members’ .522 percentage in post-season play ranks the conference 4th best in the land.

As we head into week two of the 2009 NFL preseason there are some interesting position battles heating up, especially at quarterback. There are a couple of rookies trying to fight their way into the starting lineup and some veterans who will need to step it up just to keep their jobs.
Let’s take a look at some of the more intriguing match ups where a solid performance this week would go a long way toward which QB gets the start on opening day.
Race: Sharpie 500 – Bristol Motor Speedway
Date: Saturday, August 22, 2009
Time: 7:43 PM EST (scheduled Green Flag)
TV: 6:30 PM EST on ESPN
Preview: This is the second trip this season to “The World’s Fastest Half Mile,” also known as Bristol Motor Speedway. The track has been renowned for the rough and tumble racing that used to characterize a Bristol race, but a repaving project in 2007 seems to have altered that reputation somewhat. Still, hopes are high that the double-file restart rule which NASCAR established earlier this year will hasten the return of that old excitement and energy.

1. Kyle Busch (+600): Busch won here in March, leading 378 of 503 laps, and has a previous win in the spring of 2007, along with two second-place finishes in nine Bristol starts. Remarkably, in the last two Bristol races, Busch alone led 793 of 1003 laps – that’s 79% of the total laps in the two races combined.
2. Kurt Busch (+650): Kurt was pretty dominant here a few years ago, winning four out of five between ’02-’04 and adding another win in ’06. He and Jeff Gordon are tied for the most Bristol wins with five a piece, but Kurt’s came in 17 starts compared to 33 for Gordon. Busch’s overall program is much improved this year compared to the last two seasons, giving him his best chance in a while to return to his prior Bristol form.
1. Kevin Harvick (+2000): Harvick has the best average finish among active drivers with more than one start at Bristol, a 10.8 in 17 starts. He won the spring 2005 race here and finished fourth in this race last year. Kevin also has four second-place Bristol finishes.
Summary: Bristol could be Carl Edwards best chance to find Victory Lane before the start of the Chase. A strong likelihood of rain Friday would have drivers lining up by points Saturday if qualifying is rained out, putting Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon on the front row.

NCAA football betting is oh so close – close enough that we’ve made up our minds about who we think will win most of the major conferences. It’s thus time to examine conferences like the Mountain West Conference, which gets far less fanfare.
Let’s pick a winner.
Pittsburgh should feel slighted by some NFL betting picks that have selected New England to win the Super Bowl, even though the Steelers are the defending champions. But they seem to be relaxed heading into the preseason, and they’ll head to FedEx Field on Saturday to meet Washington, who have high hopes for the season.
The second week of the National Football League preseason schedule gets going Thursday with a pair of matchups.
Quarterback Tom Brady, who looked impressive tossing two touchdown passes last week against the Philadelphia Eagles, and his New England Patriots host the Cincinnati Bengals in the first tilt Thursday.
While NFL betting players will be focused on preseason action, this week’s golf odds come from Sedgefield Country Club, site of the Wyndham Championship. Carl Pettersson is the defending champion at this event, and this year’s winner will pick up his first career win on the PGA Tour.
With the NFL season just around the corner, this is good time to look at what might happen this fall on the gridiron. NFL Future Odds are out for each team.
A year ago in this column I looked at the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were projected for 9 wins, and wrote: “The Steelers had 10 wins in 2007 with the No. 1 ranked defense.
