With Kolb at Quarterback, I think they are rightly a long shot, but no worse than the odds indicate.&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course, Peyton has been released, and there's a chance that he will sign with the Cards. If he does, and he is fit, these odds will come in dramatically. Maybe 20-1? Even if he doesn't, I think the chances of the Cardinals are the same as the odds implied. Because of the potential that they sign Peyton, I think they are therefore value.&nbsp;</p><br> Sun, Feb 3rd 2013, 00:00 GMT http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/222122 Most Rushing Yards http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/249928 <b>Tipster:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tipsters/view/Crouch_Potato">Crouch_Potato</a><br> <b>Date of Bet:</b> 30/12/2012 12:00<br> <b>Sport:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/american-football-tips">American Football</a><br> <b>Event:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/nfl-tips">NFL</a><br> <b>Match:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/most-rushing-yards-tips">Most Rushing Yards</a><br> <b>Selection:</b> Ryan Mathews<br> <b>Price/Bookie:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/paddypower">Paddy Power @ 15.00<br> <b>Strength:</b> 10/10<br> <b>Reasoning:</b> <br><p> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Cons: Has a history of injuries. Can miss games through injury. Umm, injury prone a bit.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Pros: The Chargers want him to touch the ball as often as possible. Mike Tolbert is gone and they&#39;ve brought in Ronnie Brown to back him up. Which is to say, they&#39;re going to give Mathews as much as he can handle, and have openly said this repeatedly.&nbsp;</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Personally, I think the odds here more than make up for any injury concerns. Foster is a favourite, but Tate is going to steal looks. MJD is looking like holding out, and Running Backs who hold out rarely do well. Ray Rice and LeSean McCoy are legitimate favourites, but there&#39;s nothing about their situation that trumps Mathews&#39;. Honestly can&#39;t see why he&#39;s anything above 9&#39;s.</span></p> <br> Sun, Dec 30th 2012, 12:00 GMT http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/249928 Most Receiving Yards http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/249929 <b>Tipster:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tipsters/view/Crouch_Potato">Crouch_Potato</a><br> <b>Date of Bet:</b> 30/12/2012 12:00<br> <b>Sport:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/american-football-tips">American Football</a><br> <b>Event:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/nfl-tips">NFL</a><br> <b>Match:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/most-receiving-yards-tips">Most Receiving Yards</a><br> <b>Selection:</b> Julio Jones<br> <b>Price/Bookie:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/bet365">Bet365 @ 19.00<br> <b>Strength:</b> 10/10<br> <b>Reasoning:</b> <br><p> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">From all reports the Falcons are going to air it out this year and given how poorly Turner finished the season and the number of miles he&#39;s racked up I can fully see it happening. And if it does, I see Julio Jones being the real winner. Roddy White is still a force and his presence should ensure that opposition defenses can&#39;t double team Jones. Megatron is a deserved favourite, but he&#39;s on the cover of Madden. Mike Wallace is above Jones in the betting which frankly is laughable. Wes Welker? Not with Brandon Lloyd on the team. Rodgers shares it around too much, with Jennings, Nelson and Finley all demanding looks and Cobb a sleeper factor. Great value IMO, I expect Jones to beast it this year and have him as 2nd favourite behind Megatron.</span></p> <br> Sun, Dec 30th 2012, 12:00 GMT http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/249929 Outright Winner http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/254461 <b>Tipster:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tipsters/view/Crouch_Potato">Crouch_Potato</a><br> <b>Date of Bet:</b> 26/08/2012 12:00<br> <b>Sport:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/golf-tips">Golf</a><br> <b>Event:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/the-barclays-tips">The Barclays</a><br> <b>Match:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/outright-winner-tips">Outright Winner</a><br> <b>Selection:</b> Jim Furyk (1/4 1-5)<br> <b>Price/Bookie:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/skybet">Skybet @ 51.00<br> <b>Strength:</b> 2/10<br> <b>Reasoning:</b> <br><p> Furyk has come close in a couple of big events, blowing 54 hole leads of both the US Open and the WGC at Firestone.

Tonight they get their full strength team (minus Yow Yeh) which is something they haven&#39;t had in their past 2 games (Glenn missed both, McGuire missed Storm, Parker missed the Dogs). Brisbane dropped off last week when Hannant and Civoniceva went off as they had poor prop rotation options, but McGuire is a machine and improves the prop rotation markedly.

Last year he was T3 in a weather affected US Open, but he confirmed his fit for US Open tracks with a T10 this year in much tougher conditions.

The other key stat there sticks out for me is that he is 3rd in Par 4 Birdie or better this season.

This is Dustin Johnson to a tee. 2nd in the Open last year, 9th in the Open this year. Contended in the 2010 US Open where he had a lead heading into Sunday. That same year he also contended the PGA Championship and would have at least been in a playoff except for&nbsp;</span><em style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">that</em><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">&nbsp;bunker penalty. He&#39;s not won a Major yet, but he has certainly come very close.&nbsp;</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Kiawah is of course, an Ocean course, and whilst there is nothing quite like it, I think performances at Pebble Beach have to be given some due. A tournament that, not so coincidentally, IMO, Dustin Johnson has won twice. It was also the host of the US Open where he held the Sunday lead. Dustin Johnson is also a Carolina native, and only lived about an hour or so from the course.&nbsp;</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Length, as I said, should be a factor here -- it measures some 7676 yards. Dustin Johnson averages a cool 308 yards off the tee, good enough for 7th best this year, and his abilities as a bomber are surely undisputed. Ideally he&#39;ll hit it a bit straighter than his stats suggest, but with the links conditions coming into play I feel this is less of a concern.&nbsp;</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; " /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Interestingly, with Keegan&#39;s win this week there was an interesting stat that the tour brought up - there are 5 players under 30 win 3 or more wins on TOUR. Keegan (3) joins Rory McIlroy (3), Anthony Kim (3) and Webb Simpson (3). Dustin Johnson has (6). Aside from Kim, the others all have Majors. It&#39;s obviously not a particularly causative reason to back him this weekend, but having already backed Dustin, found it comforting nonetheless. There&#39;s no doubt Dustin Johnson has the talent to win a Major, and I think that he has a lot of things going in his favour. The length of the course, the links like conditions, a native of the state, the recent experience of contending in Majors.&nbsp;</span></p> <br> Sun, Aug 12th 2012, 13:00 GMT http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/250711 Top 10 Finish http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/251374 <b>Tipster:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tipsters/view/Crouch_Potato">Crouch_Potato</a><br> <b>Date of Bet:</b> 12/08/2012 12:00<br> <b>Sport:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/golf-tips">Golf</a><br> <b>Event:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/us-pga-tips">US PGA</a><br> <b>Match:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/top-10-finish-tips">Top 10 Finish</a><br> <b>Selection:</b> Brandon Grace<br> <b>Price/Bookie:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/skybet">Skybet @ 17.00<br> <b>Strength:</b> 10/10<br> <b>Reasoning:</b> <br><p> Grace has been a star on the European Tour so far and his win in the Volvo Open was played in links conditions.

Nothing about him stands out but he grades out well in a number of interesting areas this week. He didn&#39;t play the Open last week which I think is a benefit, and he also finished T5 the last time this event was held at Hamilton G&amp;CC. During that event he was under par in all 4 of his rounds and his best score for the week was shot on the Sunday. Once more, this is a Par 70 course, and Sabbatini&#39;s last 3 wins have all been on Par 70&#39;s. He&#39;s quite short off the tee compared to most players and so the reduced Par 5&#39;s I feel give him a relative advantage, and with this course only playing about 7000 yards this week, it&#39;s another aspect of the tournament where Sabbatini grades out favourably. Was 2nd 6 weeks back and after a mediocre start to the season his 3 Top 20&#39;s in 5 events seems to suggest he&#39;s trending in the right direction.</span></p> <br> Sun, Jul 29th 2012, 13:00 GMT http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/247966 Outright Winner http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tips/view/247967 <b>Tipster:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/tipsters/view/Crouch_Potato">Crouch_Potato</a><br> <b>Date of Bet:</b> 29/07/2012 12:00<br> <b>Sport:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/golf-tips">Golf</a><br> <b>Event:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/rbc-canadian-open-tips">RBC Canadian Open</a><br> <b>Match:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/tipster-competition/outright-winner-tips">Outright Winner</a><br> <b>Selection:</b> Charlie Wi<br> <b>Price/Bookie:</b> <a href="http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/bet365">Bet365 @ 61.00<br> <b>Strength:</b> 2/10<br> <b>Reasoning:</b> <br><p> <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">Has a 4th, 3rd and 2nd for the year so has decent form and I feel he has a few things going for him this week.
