Alf Musketa

Michael Bisping vs. Alan Belcher
Play: Michael Bisping -175

This fight is co-main event of the evening and has been on the minds of fight fans ever since they announced this card. At UFC 159, Saturday night on Pay Per View, these two 185 pound middleweight contenders, Michael Bisping (23-5) versus Alan Belcher (18-7), finally enter the octagon. It has become obvious they do not like each other and have bashed each other through the media, most notably on YouTube.

Belcher made the fight even more interesting when last month his friend Cincinnati Bengal's defensive end Wallace Gilberry offered to put up his Phantom Rolls Royce worth $300,000 if Bisping could knock out Belcher in the first round. Bisping did not bite. Belcher then made another offer to get a tattoo of the flag of England on his chest if he lost and said if Bisping lost he would have to get a tattoo of Johnny Cash, the same one which is on Belcher’s left arm. Bisping believes he will use these childish offers as additional motivation.

Belcher won four fights in a row including a stunning TKO over Rousimar Palhares with odds of +215 before losing his last match to Yushin Okami. In fact that was the second time Belcher lost to Okami. Belcher can win this contest if he stays on his feet and tries to make this fight a stand up war. He has great hands and solid high kicks.

Bisping also lost his last fight but has never lost two fights in a row. I would compare his style to that of Okami, but Bisping has better cardio and performs well under pressure. He'll use his Ju Jitsu on the ground and he's by far the superior wrestler in this match. We see this fight going the three full rounds and Bisping dominating in the clinch and on the canvas and winning a unanimous decision.

English Breakfast: Premier League Betting Notes

Here's a look at the ten games on tap in the Premier League this weekend that includes two games with ramifications for the relegation battle and a blockbuster tie between Arsenal and Manchester United.

Manchester City (2nd in table, 68 points) v West Ham (10th, 42) -400 +500 +900
Previous meeting: West Ham 0, Manchester City 0, November 3

* Manchester City will clinch a Champions League spot for next season with nine points in the final five matches.

Previous meeting: Fulham 2, Everton 2, November 3

* Everton can still catch Tottenham for fifth, but is five points behind and Totty has a game in hand. Everton can still qualify for Europe next season if Manchester City defeats Wigan in the FA Cup final and finished sixth.

* Fulham is safely in mid-table and faces no fear of being relegated or challenging for the European places.

* Everton leading goal scorer Marouane Fellaini has scored three league goals in the previous 14 matches.

* Fulham midfielder Steve Sidwell will miss the final four games of the season after picking up a red card against Arsenal last week. He has four goals and made 28 appearances for the club in the league this season.

Southampton (12th, 39) v West Brom (8th, 45) -133 +290 +400
Previous meeting: West Brom 2, Southampton 0, November 5

* Southampton needs only one more win to ensure Premier League survival. Two teams were relegated in 2010-11 with 39 points.

* Southampton has improved under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Saints have gained 17 points in 12 matches with Pochettino, and 22 points in their previous 22 games with former manager Nigel Adkins.

* West Brom has slowed in the second half of the season. It collected 27 points in its first 13 games and 18 points in its last 20 matches.

Wigan (18th, 31) v Tottenham (5th, 61) +250 +260 +115
Previous meeting: Tottenham 0, Wigan 1, November 3

* Wigan is in the final relegation place, three points behind Aston Villa in 17th. Wigan needs as many points as possible to finish outside of the bottom three.

* Tottenham is one point behind Chelsea and two behind Arsenal with a game in hand in the race for the final two Champions League spots.

* Wigan has finished outside the relegation zone in the past three seasons by an average of 5.3 points.

Newcastle (16th, 37) v Liverpool (7th, 51) +220 +240 +140
Previous meeting: Liverpool 1, Newcastle 1, November 4

* Newcastle is six points above Wigan for the final relegation spot.

* Liverpool is safely in midtable and could conceivably jump Everton for sixth in the table, which could be worth a Europa League spot next season if Manchester City win the FA Cup over Wigan.

* The over is 6-1 in Newcastle's last seven at home.

* Liverpool will be without striker Luis Suarez for the rest of the season after biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic last week. Suarez has scored 23 of Liverpool's 61 goals (37 percent) in the league.

ANDY ISKOE

Grand Salami -- Saturday April 27

The regular season concludes today/tonight with a bakers' dozen games on the card.

My projected total for the Grand Salami is 65.70 and I've seen a couple of books post the GS at 70.

That gives us an edge of 4.30 towards playing the UNDER.

My models project most of the games to stay UNDER, adding further support.

The games showing the highest probability of staying UNDER:
Philadelphia/Ottawa - UNDER 5 1/2
Chicago/St Louis - UNDER 5
Phoenix/Anaheim - UNDER 5
San Jose/Los Angeles - UNDER 5

The games showing the greatest likelihood of going OVER:
Nashville/Columbus OVER 5
Minnesota/Coloracdo OVER 5

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Brooklyn at Chicago (2:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Chicago -2.5 (-110)

The Brooklyn Nets came out hot in game three and opened up a 17-5 lead in the first five and a half minutes. They were then stopped dead in their tracks as Chicago turned up the defensive heat and held the Nets to 59 points over the last 42 and a half minutes. The Bulls will take that lesson to heart in game four. The Bulls have won four of the six games between these teams on the season. Even though four of the six were played in Brooklyn, the oddsmakers say these teams are even, which hasn't been the case. Since scoring 60 points in the first half of the opener, Brooklyn has managed just a total of 204 points in five halves of basketball since, or an average of just 40.8 per half. The Bulls have cashed seven of their last ten vs. a winning team and have the defense to continue having success vs. this Nets team. Play on Chicago.
