Is fifth time the charm for Argentina Davis Cup team?
As tennis betting fans might know, Argentina is the country that has made it to the Davis Cup Finals the most times (on four occasions in 1981, 2006, 2008 and 201) without actually winning it, but that may change later this month in Croatia when the Argentina Davis Cup team faces the home team. Argentina captain Daniel Orsanic has assembled the team will attempt one more time to bring the gold home. Orsanic appears to be a firm believer of the “don’t fix it if it ain’t broke” school of thought, summoning the same team that defeated Great Britain in the semis, and which comprises Juan Martin Del Potro, Federico Delbonis, Guido Pella and Leonardo Mayer. Unfortunately, these four men do not combine like a Zord to form a mega-tennis player.

Nothing against Djokovic, but the man had been up there since July 2014. It was high time that he quit bogarting that spot. Murray is the first British man to reach world No. 1 since the rankings were introduced in 1973, which he accomplished by defeating John Isner in the finals of the 2016 Paris Masters after Djokovic was eliminated by Marin Cilic.

NFC North Could Get a Makeover
When visiting the top sportsbooks for a bet on NFL money lines, most fans had one team on their mind; the Minnesota Vikings. At the start of the season, uncertainty loomed over this Viking team like a winter storm cloud looms over the Twin City. The Vikings had just lost their starting quarterback, Terry Bridgewater, to a preseason ACL tear. Once the injury happened, Minnesota’s players began to ‘freak out’ because they knew that losing their starting quarterback would have drastic implications on that season’s success. But the Vikings’ management acted quickly on their feet and made a trade that left all of us flabbergasted.
