Some of you might be done with these Jake Paul fights, and honestly, I get it. They are f*cking stupid and seem like pure money grabs. However, if you like making some money, it’s a money grab for us bettors as well. If we take it for what the fight is, complete bullsh*t, we can make some serious cash.
So, Paul is going back to his usual strategy of taking on older MMA fighters WAY past their prime after his first loss to Tommy Fury. On the other hand, Nate Diaz, the wild MMA bad boy, is out to shut Paul up once and for all.
Diaz is getting closer to 40, and like many UFC fighters Paul has faced, he's probably just in it for the money.💰 However, Diaz is one of the craziest professional athletes I have ever witnessed in sports, so who knows? Just watch this clip and you can see true hatred in Diaz’s eyes.
Jake Paul looks so scared after this 💀

Two of Paul’s four knockouts were of the technical variety, and he obviously has a talented right hand. However, Diaz (22-13, 15-11 in UFC) represents the type of fighter who could stand his ground.
Diaz has only been knocked out twice, and another jiu-jitsu black belt Tyron Woodley went the distance in one of his two encounters with Paul, so the profile fits for Diaz to have a similar shot to outlast a premature exit.
After his first loss, it seems like Paul is going back to building his hype by picking opponents he knows he can beat. It will be hard to knockout Diaz, but the outcome is as predetermined as it gets.
The (-400) moneyline is tough to get behind, so here are some ways for you to bet on Jake Paul if you still wanna make some money and take a shot with him.
If you want to have some fun, let’s put $5 behind this (+10000) bet to win $505. Although I think Paul will be defensive in this fight, crazier things have happened, and this is just a fun and easy bet to get behind. 🤷♂️

Women’s World Cup USWNT 😬🏆
USWNT vs Sweden: Sunday at 5 a.m. ET
Fox's Carli Lloyd did not mince words about the USWNT appearing to celebrate their disappointing 0-0 draw with Portugal.
"To be dancing? To be smiling? The player of the match was that post."

Can a team that looked MEH against the Netherlands and Portugal really step up to take on rock-solid Sweden?
The Americans are somehow favored to get past Sweden in the Round of 16 on Sunday, but confidence is not as high as it was at the start of the tournament. Two back-to-back draws, a goalpost save, and a second-place finish in the group will do that to you.
It should be a very competitive match, so look for both teams to play their hearts out here.
Now, looking at the odds, it's kinda tempting to take a shot on Sweden as a (+260) underdog from a betting perspective. I mean, Sweden's been on fire, going 3-0 in the tournament with a +8 goal differential, while the USA is 1-2 with a +3 goal differential.
I’m not saying I will be betting against USWNT here, but we're just out here to find the best betting opportunities for everyone. And at (+260) moneyline, betting on a team that's clearly been better than their opponent, it's an opportunity we can't afford to miss. The USA might still win, but at +100 odds, there ain't much value there.
Colts Owner Jim Irsay Spending Five Times Jonathan Taylor’s Salary to Save a Whale 🐳

If this feud between Jonathan Taylor and Jim Irsay keeps going and Taylor ends up getting traded to another team, the narrative will forever be that he lost his job to a whale. So, hopefully, he stays with the Colts for his benefit LOL. 🤣
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks Wide Receiver
OVERRATED - BET THE UNDER
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a route ARTIST 😳
Njigba has reportedly appeared “faster” in pads than he does without.
Brock Huard (former NFL QB) said that he believes Njigba is a “blend” of Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.

I am so done with the social teams putting out videos of one-on-ones; they mean absolutely nothing. However, I have to admit, Njigba does look impressive in everything I've seen. I genuinely like him. Nevertheless, he'll have to compete for targets against D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
2020 - Future early Round 1 picks Garrett Wilson + Chris Olave again dominate OSU receiving volume. Each at +34% receiving yard share.
2021 - Last season w OSU, Wilson/Olave both out-targeted by sophomore Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Receiving yards:
1606 - JSN
1058 - Wilson
936 - Olave— Jacob Gibbs (@jagibbs_23)

Being part of the crazy OSU wide receiver room and outperforming both Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave, who had incredible rookie seasons, is truly remarkable. I'm genuinely excited about what he can bring to the NFL.
The crucial difference here is that Wilson and Olave went to teams where there was essentially an open wide receiver 1 spot. On the other hand, Njigba will be entering as the third option. A deadly third option, no doubt, but still the third.
Gabe Davis, Buffalo Bills Wide Receiver
UNDERRATED - BET THE OVER
GABE DAVIS SZN. 😱😱

Gabe Davis revealed that he battled an ankle injury throughout last season, which he believes contributed to his less-than-impressive performance in 2022, stating, "I lost a step."
In fantasy drafts, he is currently being selected outside of the top 36 receivers, and personally, I believe he offers fantastic value at that position.
Now that he is fully healthy, he will have a comeback year in 2023 and impress everyone. As much as we all overvalued in 2022, I think he is now undervalued in 2023.
