Sportsbook.com bettors bet on Smith

LOS ANGELES, California – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Blessed with a rare combination of speed, power, instinct and deft footwork, Emmitt Smith is considered one of the best running backs in the history of the NFL. But who would have predicted the former Cowboy could make his moves look as smooth and easy on the dance floor? Bettors at Sportsbook.com like what they have seen from Smith so far on the hit Reality show, Dancing With the Stars, with a majority wagering that he will win it all in tomorrow's final showdown with Mario Lopez.

Lopez, of Saved By the Bell fame, is the odds makers' favorite, but fans are confident that Smith, the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yards and a former Super Bowl MVP, will use his vast experience at performing in front of a national stage to his advantage and pull out another clutch performance.

Smith is the second NFL player to appear in a finale for Dancing With The Stars. Former San Francisco 49er legend Jerry Rice finished second in last season's edition. Ironically, Smith and Rice are the only two non-kickers to score more than 1,000 points in their football careers.

The final showdown airs on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET on ABC with the winner announced on the results show on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET.
