The English top-flight is like the NFL was in the middle of the 2015 regular season. Hectic Premier League Results keep on upsetting bettors week by week.

Alright, you could see Arsenal beating Leicester coming, but with a winning goal that late in the game and from Daniel Welbeck? Weird. Okay, it’s not that crazy like Kolo Touré scoring in an EPL game or Tottenham defeating Man City at Etihad, since this Sunday was full of surprises. However, many players and experts of gambling facts lost money on these hectic Premier League results.

Mentioning Kolo Touré, this match against a rubbish Aston Villa side was vital for Liverpool. Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho, Divock Origi just came back from injuries and Jordan Henderson is also in the gathering speed phase of his game. This means that the Reds line-up did not have to feature the likes of Jordon Ibe or Adam Lallana, resulting a more fluid, and most importantly, more fruitful attacking game. But this was virtually against a Championship side, so you might not want to draw too many conclusions from this.

Arsenal might profit from hectic Premier League results

Manchester City slipping at home, again, is a blow to their campaign. They are still close, but could have moved within three points from Leicester and overtake Tottenham. Instead they remained fourth and Spurs second. There are still 12 games to go and Leicester have no European football in their schedule. However, as things are now, it seems that Arsenal are the favourites of this year’s championship. They have the best odds at Betway Sportsbook, available for 2.63 (13/8). Tottenham are second favourites, selling for 3.50 (5/2). Leicester goes for 3.75 (11/4), however, hectic Premier League results and sports scores can still alter this picture in the following weeks.

Manchester United going down at Sunderland virtually ended their campaign. They have too many things to sort out, including the position of their manager, plus Europa League football in their schedule, which is a huge distraction. The Red Devils might start to concentrate on Europa League however, as with some more hectic Premier League results, it will be easier for them to qualify to the Champions League by winning that competition than coming fourth in the English top-flight…

The Eli Manning reaction, or seemingly lack of reaction was the main topic amongst NFL fans on the internet after Super Bowl 50.

The Denver broncos just extended their lead to 20–10 through C. J. Anderson’s six-point run, when the Manning family and the Eli Manning reaction was filmed. At first blink, it seems that everyone was jumping and celebrating, since the Broncos were very close to win Super Bowl 50.

Everyone was celebrating but Eli Manning, Peyton’s younger brother, a two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback for the New York Giants. Haters, critiques and trolls started to argue at once that he was jealous of his brother’s success, who was about to match his family record of two Super Bowl titles. But keen fans of sports scores naturally had other ideas.

The Eli Manning reaction wasn’t about that at all. If you look closely, you can see that on the left, their father, Archie Manning, the former QB of the New Orleans Saints is similarly blank-faced. Even their older brother, Cooper, a former NCAA wide receiver, is tight-lipped as he jumps up from his space.

The Eli Manning reaction was about concern

First, from the movement of their eyes, you can see that they were checking the officials, to make sure that Anderson’s run was actually a touchdown. Second, I am positive that they were already thinking about the next play-call for the two-point conversion. Third, they were surely checking the time left on the clock for the Carolina Panthers who were trying to make a comeback.

This is how an NFL quarterback, or an expert of gambling facts watches the game. Especially if they are involved through family. The Eli Manning reaction was about concern. He was concerned, since he knows that the game wasn’t over at that point. He knows this better than anyone, since, as Martin Rodgers pointed out: Eli lost 6 of 10 games in the 2015 NFL season with the NEw York Giants after leading or tied with less than two minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.

Eli was just concerned for his brother, as anyone would have been in that situation.

Super Bowl 50 might have been a defensive feast. However the biggest question after underdog Denver Broncos have beaten the Carolina Panthers 24–10 is whether Peyton Manning to retire or not.

Super Bowl 50 was all about defenses. And we knew it before, since two of the best #D units have reached the final. And as the Carolina Panthers considered as having the upper hand in offense and productivity, they seemed to be the more complete team beforehand.

That’s why the Panthers were six-point favorites at legal online betting sites in the US, according to gambling news before the Super Bowl. But the Broncos had Peyton Manning, arguably the best NFL quarterback ever playing the game. Not that anybody expected him throwing 400 yards and 5 touchdowns. But still, his experience and knowledge was a factor that had to be considered before the game.

Manning was no more than a game manager on the field. Super Bowl 50 was won by the Denver defense. Not unsurprisingly, an outside linebacker Super Bowl MVP Von Miller was chosen.  6 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, sports scores news report and his numbers speak for itself. However, Peyton Manning still proved to be a decisive factor according to Broncos players.

NFL.com: Manning to retire after emotional speech?

Manning and DeMarcus Ware, Miller’s pair in the Broncos’ pass rush unit, held speeches on Saturday night for the Denver Broncos. Linebacker Brandon Marshall revealed that it was a very emotional event. He said, “Both got choked up. And I got a little emotional. It was amazing to see that.” He also revealed that Manning was close tho shed tears.

Tight end Owen Daniel also confirmed that the speeches of the two were very emotional and that it meant a lot for the team. Guard Evan Mathis added, “Peyton got up and it was a good talk and he was serious and funny. He said a lot of good things. DeMarcus got up there – DeMarcus is a very serious and emotional speaker. We were ready to go and it got us even more ready to go.”

It was a rough week for defensive end Antonio Smith. He learned recently that his father died while serving his life sentence in jail. He spoke about how Ware’s speech helped the team mentally. He expressed that “D-Ware said that neither one of us had to worry about anything going wrong on the field because, if one side slipped, you got a horde of angels behind you: And that’s the defense. And if the other side doesn’t do good, you know, the protection for that horde of angels: that’s the offense. I think the guys really took that to heart and believed and had faith that nothing was going to stop us from being Super Bowl champions today.”

This is the Perfect opportunity for Peyton Manning to retire

During the game, the Broncos offense started confidently, but flinched a couple of times. But they had not to worry indeed. The defense was there to help them out. They scored a touchdown, provided excellent field position for the offense several times and also set up the TD that killed the game off. Manning basically had two tasks: to remain calm and supervise things while the defense was torturing Cam Newton.

Manning was in a similar situation in 2007. He only had to stay calm, while Rex Grossman lost the game against an excellent Indianapolis Colts defense. Back than Manning still became Super Bowl MVP. This time it was not possible with his arms being considerably weaker. But it wasn’t about that. Now he has a 2–2 record in Super Bowl finals. And the acquirement of his second ring brought the perfect opportunity for Peyton Manning to retire.

He did, but we don’t know about Peyton Manning being Cam Newton’s father…

Still, it is unclear whether Peyton Manning to retire after his second Super Bowl win. If it was up to his mother, Peyton was already done. He turns 40 in March, has pain everywhere in his body. He also has to go under the knife to repair his hips. And Brock Osweiler is there to supervise this offense just like Manning did. This franchise would be boosted by its elite defense for a couple of years more.

However, Manning loves this game so much that it is really an option for him to carry on playing for one more year. Let’s say, for the Los Angeles Rams. Big money, big hype, sunshine, Hollywood. That would be the icing on the cake for him. And for many fans of gambling facts.

Still, I’d give 95% percent for Peyton Manning to retire after this achievement. He is one of the twelve quarterbacks with multiple Super Bowl wins. Now the circle is complete. He only has to worry about somehow his brother Eli getting his third ring in the future…

With so many big news stories breaking last week perhaps we should spend a few minutes looking again at the most important from the last seven days

Swiss investigations into the state-owned 1MDB Fund in Malaysia has found numerous irregularities with some unexplained transfers to the private Swiss bank accounts of former Malaysian public officials as well as to some in the United Arab Emirates. Michael Lauber, Swiss Attorney General, is quoted as saying there were “Serious indications that funds have been misappropriated from Malaysian state companies.” In total the fund is said to be missing some $4bn and investigations continue.

Following the executive action taken by President Obama to place new tighter restrictions on the purchase of firearms in the US, a country that already has 88.8 guns for every 100 citizens, 270 million total, some three weeks ago the social media giants Facebook and Instagram have taken action to prevent private gun sales on their platforms. Whilst official gun dealing businesses can continue to use their services the numerous private gun sales that are facilitated on the sites are now banned.

In the US research into the treatment of Cancer at the Massachusetts General Hospital conducted by Dr. Torunn Yock has revealed that the once controversial therapy using Proton Beam technology that is used to treat some children shows a rate of effectiveness in line with that displayed by use of traditional Photon (X-ray) treatments only with the benefit of not having quite as much of a toxic effect on the heart and lungs of the patients. This research shows Proton beam therapy is now a real alternative.

In sport Angelique Kerber won the Australian Open beating Serena Williams 6-4 3-6 6-4 in Melbourne and becoming the first German to win a major singles title on the Tennis calendar since Steffi Graf last century.

Meanwhile Greek football teams AEL Larissa and Acharnaikos staged a protest after the whistle had been blown in their match last week, with all the players, coaching staff and substitutes retaining their positions, not playing the ball and sitting down. An announcement made to the crowd said the 2 minutes silence would be “in memory of the hundreds of children who continue to lose their lives everyday in the Aegian” referring to the many deaths amongst immigrants attempting to reach the EU.
