Football Betting Lines
07/27/2010 - Tulsa, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay linebacker ERIC ORTIZ, Milwaukee quarterback CHRIS GREISEN and Orlando linebacker MARLON MOYE-MOORE have been named the JLS Ironman, Russell Athletic Offensive Players and Riddell Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for Week 17 of 2010. In addition to these three awards, the AFL is also highlighting the player who makes the best Catch of the Week, the Playmaker of the Week and the Highlight of the Week. The Cutters Catch of the Week Award for Week 17 goes to Utah wide receiver AARON BOONE, while Milwaukee wide receiver DAMIAN HARRELL and Jacksonville defensive back MICHEAUX ROBINSON have been named the Playmakers of the Week. The Highlight of the Week award has gone to Spokane defensive back MERVIN BROOKINS.
JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK
Ortiz (6-3, 255, Belhaven) gave Tampa Bay the momentum they needed to jumpstart the offense, scoring the first two touchdowns for the Storm after falling to a 10-0 deficit. After a shutout in the first quarter, Ortiz scored his first touchdown from a 1-yard carry. Less than three minutes later, Ortiz ran in 4-yard pitch from QB Dietz, taking a 14-10 lead. Tampa Bay would never let Alabama recapture the lead. In the 53-29 victory, Ortiz was also a force for the defense, accumulating 4.5 tackles.
RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Greisen (6-3, 220, NW Missouri) exhausted the Barnstormers defense, pulling off a thrilling 75-67 win to clinch the Midwest Division for Milwaukee. Greisens outstanding game statistics explain why he is No. 1 in total offense (4,947) and total passing (4,942) this season, more than 100 yards over the next contender in each category. Against Iowa, Greisen completed 30-of-40 passes for eight touchdowns and a season-high 413 yards.
RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Moye-Moore (6-2, 250, Maryland) had the experience the Predators needed to beat Oklahoma City and clinch a spot in the playoffs. The six-year veteran caught his second interception of the season at the end of the first quarter, running it back for a 13-yard touchdown. Moye-Moore also had a season-high nine tackles and one tackle for loss. Tanner Varner also had a tremendous game for the Iowa Barnstormers, catching an interception for a 56-yard touchdown and nine tackles in the night.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
