02-14-17 | Walsall v. Scunthorpe United -1 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 29 m | Show | |
I really like the look of Scunthorpe in this one and am very confident they will win and win comfortably. Scunthorpe currently sit second in the league and occupy an automatic promotion spot, they have lost their last two league games, but for me that is just a blip and I do expect them to get back to winning ways today, they have lost just once at home this season and that was at the weekend, a surprising result that is very much out of character. Walsall are in 12th place 16 points behind Scunthorpe, they lost 4-1 away at Bolton at the weekend and have won just three times on the road from 16 games, they have drawn a lot but they are playing the second placed team in the league and even a draw is a big ask. All things considered I expect Scunthorpe to get back to winning ways today, I just do not see Walsall having enough to get even the draw and a backlash is on the cards here. |

02-14-17 | Borussia Dortmund v. Benfica | 0-1 | Win | 125 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
I fancy Benfica to beat Dortmund this evening and will be backing them on the spread. Benfica do not lose at home that often, this season in all competitions they have lost just the once on their home ground and that was against Napoli in the group qualification stage, they have lost just twice domestically this season and sit top of the Portuguese league. Dortmund on the other hand are not exactly setting the world alight, they sit 4th in the Bundesliga and are already 15 points behind leaders Bayern Munich, they have only won three times on the road domestically this season and lost away to bottom of the table Darnstadt at the weekend. The bottom line for me is that Benfica are an extremely strong home side playing a side that have struggled to get anything from their travels this season. I was tempted to back Benfica outright but the value was taking them on the spreads with the safety net of this pick being a draw no bet. |

02-11-17 | Tottenham Hotspur +230 v. Liverpool | 0-2 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
I am going to take Tottenham to beat a struggling Liverpool this afternoon. When two of the big sides meet it really is a question of judgement as stats and form tend to have less of an impact. If it is stats that we are to look at then Tottenham have the win all day long, they are in fantastic form, Liverpool are not, but that ignores the attitudes and motivation of the players involved. It cannot be denied that players get more motivated when they play a big team and I do expect Liverpool to offer a better account of themselves than they have done recently against some poor teams, this is Tottenham they are facing and the Liverpool players I am sure will have the right attitude, but I am convinced that will not be enough to get them the win. Tottenahm are simply the better side, they are second in the league for a reason, because they are a damn good side and I just do not believe that Liverpool have the players or confidence to win this one. Like I say it is about judgement when it comes to the big games and in my judgement it is Tottenham they will show their superiority and get the win at Anfield. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Crystal Palace v. Stoke City +110 | 0-1 | Win | 110 | 3 h 4 m | Show | |
I am going with Stoke City to record a home win over Crystal Palace today. Against bottom six sides Stoke have won 6 from 8 home matches, they have lost just once in their last five Premier League games and are unbeaten in their last six home games, albeit they have drawn four of those games. Palace are in a mess at the moment, they have won just once away in their last nine road games and that was their most recent away game against Bournemouth. Another small factor to bear in mind is that they have conceded first in 15 of their last 20 away games and against Stoke that is not what they will want to be doing. Stoke are a strong home side against the weaker teams and Palace are a weaker side and I do expect them to collect all three points today. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Southampton v. Sunderland +300 | 4-0 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
I am going with Sunderland to get a mini surprise home win against an inconsistent Southampton. Sunderland have lost 50% of their home games this season and won just three times, however they do seem to have halted their recent poor form and home draws against Tottenham and Liverpool and losing by a single goal to league leaders Chelsea shows that they are not an easy team to beat on their home turf in recent weeks, in fact just two losses at home from their last seven matches at the Stadium of Light confirms this. Southampton on the other hand have lost their last three away games on the bounce, they have won just twice from their last 12 away games in the league and six losses from their last seven Premier League games shows a team that is simply not in good form at all. There is no ignoring the respective league positions of these two teams, but recent results indicate to me that Sunderland are excellent value here and that they have a great opportunity to record a win over the struggling Saints. |
|||||||
02-11-17 | West Bromwich Albion v. West Ham United +120 | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 48 m | Show | |
I like the look of West Ham in this one and will be backing them to collect all three points against West Brom today. West Ham at home are getting better, yes they have been soundly beaten by the very best teams but when they play the teams below the best they intend to win, a look at their last six home games prove this, they lost to Man Utd, Arsenal and Man City but beat Burnley, Hull and Palace. West Brom for their part have just two wins from their last 11 away games, they do draw a lot, but the bottom line is that they really do struggle to get wins on the road. This will be a tight game I am sure, but the home advantage that West Ham will enjoy today I believe will be the difference between the two sides and that they will sneak the win by a single goal. |
|||||||
02-05-17 | Patriots v. Falcons +3 | 34-28 | Loss | -100 | 315 h 35 m | Show | |
This Superbowl for me will come down to whether the Falcons awesome offense can penetrate the New England formidable defence and I believe that is what will happen. The headlines will no doubt be all about the opposing quarterbacks and rightly so and if it does come down to either Tom Brady or Matt Ryan then it will be Ryan that comes out on top in my opinion. I know that Brady has the experience and is a legend, but Ryan has had an unbelievable season and I have seen no evidence that he will not perform to his full talent in the Super Bowl this evening. There is so much info about both sides, hundreds of previews and the truth is that this comes down to ones judgement and mine is that the Falcons offense will be too much for Brady and the Patriots and that is why I am going with Atlanta. |
|||||||
02-05-17 | Manchester United -1 v. Leicester | 3-0 | Win | 115 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
I am going with Man Utd to get the win against a very poor Leicester side and to win it comfortably. United have been struggling in front of goal recently but be assured that it is only a matter of time before they punish a side heavily and the circumstances of this game are perfect for them United are on a 14 game unbeaten run in the Premier League, they have drawn their last three but in all fairness they were the better team and should have won those games, their problem is in front of the goal but I believe it is temporary. Leicester are in very bad shape, they have gone from Champions to relegation contenders and two wins in their last 15 league games does not bode well, they have scored just once in their last six Premier games and there is no sign that they are on the verge of stopping the rot. This game is perfectly set up for United and if they can manage to convert chances in to goals they will win convincingly. |
|||||||
02-05-17 | Brighton & Hove Albion +145 v. Brentford | 3-3 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
I like the value of Brighton in this one and will be going with them to get the win. Brighton are currently second in the league and looking good for an automatic promotion spot, they have lost their last two away games, but their overall form is excellent and those two losses were their only losses in their last 22 Championship games. Brentford have won just two of their last nine league games at home, they are far from being a formidable home side and they do tend to lose to teams in the top half of the Championship. They lost 2-1 at home to Newcastle just recently and do not have a good record against the top ten sides. Bottom line for me is this, if Brighton play to form they will win and I am confident that they will do that. Brighton to win. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Middlesbrough v. Tottenham Hotspur -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
I am confident that Tottenham will win this one by at least two goals. Tottenham uncharacteristically drew 0-0 with Sunderland last time out and you can be absolutely sure that they will have been very frustrated by that result, they will be determined to bounce back in front of their home fans with a good win to get their title challenge back on track. Middlesbrough are not that bad a side, they are of course one of the inferior teams and are expected to be in the relegation dog fight but they can be difficult to break down, but playing against one of the best attacking sides in the league will probably be too much for them and I do expect them to ship goals today. When Tottenham are in the mood they score freely and I fully expect this game to be a one way affair with Spurs attacking throughout and the question for me is will Boro be able to contain Tottenham, the answer is no. I see Spurs winning this one by at least two goals, probably more and am happy to take the restrictive odds on this one. |
|||||||
02-04-17 | AFC Bournemouth v. Everton -1 | 3-6 | Win | 120 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
I like the look of Everton in this one. Everton are getting better, they have four wins and two draws from their last six Premier League fixtures and at home are a difficult side to get anything from. Bournemouth are limited, especially away from home and just two wins on the road this season proves that. Everton have the better players, are in better form, are at home and it is difficult to see them not winning. The issue for me was the spread, I would have preferred it to be less than the one goal but I do believe that there is more chance of the Toffees winning by two goals than not winning and so am happy to take them on the spread. For me the worse case scenario is they win by just one goal and stakes are returned. Take Everton -1 |
|||||||
02-04-17 | Arsenal v. Chelsea OVER 2.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
Massive game this between two of the top English Premier League sides. The truth is that either team can win this one, Chelsea are favourites because they are in better form and are the home side, but Arsenal are more than capable of beating Chelsea if they play to their best form. It is never easy to pick a winner when two top sides face off, but that does not mean that there is not a good opportunity to be had. The odds on over 2.5 goals are a little low for me but I am very confident that both sides will score and that one of them will score at least twice. This will be an entertaining attacking game between two sides that know how score and with Chelsea at home and Arsenal looking to bounce back from a shock home defeat against Watford I do see both sides going for the win. All things considered I am going for over 2.5 goals. |
|||||||
02-01-17 | Everton v. Stoke City | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
I am going with Stoke to do no worse than draw at home against Everton. Stoke have not lost at home since last November, since then they have won twice and drawn three times at the Britannia Stadium and that includes holding Man Utd to a draw, they are not an easy team to beat at home. Everton away form in the league has picked up, they are unbeaten in their last three away games, but prior to that they were rank poor and the opposition recently has hardly been the best. Stoke are a much tougher opponent than the likes of Crystal Palace, Hull City and Leicester City and I am yet to be convinced that Everton can beat a team with a decent home record, For this pick to actually lose then Everton must win, I am more confident that Stoke will either win or the game ends in a draw than I am of an away win. Therefore Stoke on the spreads is the value pick. |
|||||||
01-31-17 | Chelsea v. Liverpool OVER 2.5 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
Massive game this one and I see goals in it. Liverpool need a win, they have had a dreadful January and in front of their home fans I fully expect them to give this a real go. Chelsea are flying, we all know this, they are scoring for fun and if you take the loss to Tottenham out of the equation you will see that they have been beating anyone they faced knocking in 20 goals in six of their last seven games in all competitions. I cannot predict a winner here if I am honest, Liverpool could do a Tottenham in front of their home fans and dominate Chelsea, while the Blues  could easily do a Swansea and put three past Liverpool on their home turf. What I am very confident in is that both teams will be attack minded and that goals will come. All things considered over 2.5 goals for me. |
|||||||
01-31-17 | Leicester v. Burnley +185 | 0-1 | Win | 185 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
I am going with Burnley to win this one. I have lost total confidence in Leicester City and the statistics back me up in that belief. Burnley actually have the fifth best home record in the Premier League, better than both Man City and Man Utd while Leicester have the second worst away record in the Premier League, on those stats alone it is a no brainer for the home win. But it is more than that, Leicester have won just twice in their last 13 league games and are going nowhere fast, whereas Burnley have won three of their last five league games with the two losses coming away at Man City and Arsenal. Bottom line is this, Burnley are in far better form than Leicester and their home record is significantly superior to Leicester away record. Burnely win for me. |
|||||||
01-31-17 | Southampton v. Swansea City +225 | 1-2 | Win | 225 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
I am going with Swansea City here to scrape the home win. Swansea are starting to get it together at long last, they will have been lifted massively by their 3-2 away win at Liverpool and there is very good reason to believe they will kick on now and start to put some decent results together. Southampton have had some mixed results recently, you can probably ignore the 5-0 loss to Arsenal as they made huge changes for that FA Cup game, but they have lost four of their last five Premier League games and a home win over Leicester is no longer the big result it once was. Point being this, Swansea have a great opportunity here, they face a Southampton side not doing that great in the league recently and under new management have started to click, you cannot underestimate that Liverpool result. Swansea for me. |
|||||||
01-27-17 | Leicester +145 v. Derby County | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
I am going with Leicester City to get back to winning ways today in this FA Cup clash. Leicester are clearly not the team they were last season, they have key players missing, either sold or in Africa for the African Nations competition and they are in a bit of a slump at the moment, especially after two consecutive thrashings. But, they are Premier League class and if they play to form they should prove to be too strong for Championship side Derby, yes they will have to contend with a passionate home crowd and Derby are doing fairly well overall in the Championship, currently just outside a play off spot, but this is still a significant step up in class for them. This game represents a great opportunity for Leicester to rebuild their confidence and give them something to look forward to and a FA Cup run always does that. I expect it to be close but see Leicester emerging as the winners. |
|||||||
01-25-17 | Nottingham Forest v. Leeds United -1 | 0-2 | Win | 130 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
I would have preferred a slightly lower handicap on this one and accepted lower odds, but I am still confident that Leeds United can overcome the spread. For starters Leeds are flying at the moment, they may have lost against local rivals Barnsley at the weekend, but that was away from home and a derby and now they are back at home I do expect them to get back to winning ways. Leeds have won their last five home games on the bounce and have won 9 of their last 11 home matches, additionally, they have won four of their last six home games by more than one goal. Forest finally won at the weekend, that was their first win in eight Championship games, but they were at home and were playing a side in the bottom six, Leeds away is a very different proposition. Also, Forest have won just twice away all season and lost an incredible 9 times from their 14 away games. Leeds really should win this game, it is just a question of whether they can win by two goals, I am very confident they can and that is my pick on this game. |
|||||||
01-25-17 | Iraklis 1908 v. Veria OVER 2 | 2-0 | Push | 0 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
I rarely do games from Greece, but every now and then a game will present itself to me that provides a great opportunity to make a good profit and this game is one such game. The overs has been set at 2 and has positive odds, a great combination and once I analysed this game it became a stand out opportunity. Lets first look at the away side Iraklis, 5 of their 7 away games in the Greek Super League have had at least 2 goals in them including their last four away games in a row. Veria at home have had at least two goals in 6 of their 8 home games this season, so basically both teams have featured in games home and away respectively were the overwhelming games. have had at least two goals in them. Now, both sides current form, their last four games, (Veria at home, Iraklis, away) have had at  least two goals in them. Bottom line is that these sides play in games under these circumstances were there is at least two goals. Now the overs is set at 2, this means that if there is just 2 goals then the stake is returned, so what about three goals? Well, over the last four games that Veria have been at home and Iraklis away there has been 50% with just two goals and 50% over two goals. Final point, home and away both teams games tend to have at least two goals in them, 12 of Iraklis 15 games this season have had at least two goals and 12 of Veria 16 games, in better words at least 75% for both sides. From a safety aspect this game is a solid pick, the worst case scenario is of course a loss, but it is far far more likely that this pick will either win or the stake return and from a value point this make this a must pick. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Steelers v. Patriots -6 | 17-36 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I cannot see the Steelers getting close to the Patriots tonight and fully expect New England to win this game by double figures. The Steelers are a tough outfit, but they are not in the same class as the Patriots and in my view the only way this game will be close is if New England play below form, something I do not see happening. I would have take the Patriots -10 and so -6 is a gift as far as I am concerned. |
|||||||
01-22-17 | Packers v. Falcons -4 | 21-44 | Win | 100 | 2 h 10 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I struggle to see anything other than a convincing win for the Falcons in this one. I have seen both these teams in almost all of their games this season and even though the Packers have improved significantly I do not see them as a match for the Falcons. In my opinion, if the Falcons play to their true ability they will win this one and win it comfortably. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Tottenham Hotspur v. Manchester City | 2-2 | Push | 0 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Massive game this one and I am very confident that Tottenham will not lose. Tottenham are absolutely on fire, they are beating anyone that comes up against them, their wins have been convincing home or away, they have won their last six Premier League games scoring 19 goals, they have good enough cover for the injured Jan Vertonghen and are very strong in every position. City may well have home advantage but they are hardly inspiring at the moment, the 4-0 loss to Everton showed us a team with serious issues and the magic of Pep Guardiola is not working, their defence is very vulnerable and even when they have won recently it has not been convincing. Tottenham have been beating City in their recent meetings and City have a very poor record against the top sides over the last couple of seasons. This Tottenham side are serious title challengers, the same cannot be said about City and the only reason I am taking Tottenham on the spreads and not outright is because City do have home advantage. All things considered I am going for Tottenham on the spread. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | West Ham United v. Middlesbrough +140 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
I am going with Middlesbrough to get the win today against West ham United and claim all three points. Middlesbrough are probably doing slightly better than expected, they are not in the relegation zone when most would have expected them to be firmly in the bottom three at this stage of the season, they are inconsistent, but they are not easy to beat either and at home they are a difficult side to play. Over their last six home games they have lost twice, against Liverpool and Chelsea, however they have won on three occasions and the drawn the other game, point being that recently at home they only lose to the top four sides and the draw was against last seasons Champions, West Ham simply do not fall into those categories. West Ham have actually improved away, draws at Liverpool and Man Utd are testament to that, but two wins away and 60% lost road games is very telling, they are not a formidable side when travelling. All things considered I am going for a home win for Middlebrough today, West Ham are just not convincing enough on the road and only the very best have beaten Middlesbrough in recent weeks at the Riverside. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Everton v. Crystal Palace OVER 2.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
I like the look of overs in this match up between Crystal Palace and Everton. Five of the last six Premier league games played at Palace have had a minimum of three goals and overall eight of their last ten home games against sides in the top half have finished over 2.5 goals, the statistics clearly point to a Palace home game being likely to have goals in it. Four of the last six away games for Everton have also had a minimum of three goals in them and four of their last six games home or away have also featured at least three goals. That said, the last four meetings between these two sides have all finished under 2.5 goals, but the circumstances are very different in this game, Palace have a new manager and cannot buy a win, while Everton are on fire and have won three of their last four games to nil, including a 4-0 thrashing of Man City. This game is all set up to be a classic, Palace will be going all out for a win in front of their home fans and Everton will be looking to consolidate their recent big wins. Take the overs in this one. |
|||||||
01-21-17 | Sunderland v. West Bromwich Albion -1 | 0-2 | Win | 120 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
Hard to see anything other than a convincing home win for West Brom today. Four of West Broms last six home games have been won by at least two goals, their only losses in that time span have been to both Manchester clubs. Sunderland on the other hand have lost their last four away games by at least two goals and there is little sign of that improving any time soon. Over their last 17 Premier League games West Brom have lost just four times and they were against Tottenham, Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool, in better words, only the very best beat West Brom these days. Sunderland seem to lose to almost anyone, they are second bottom and are playing without any confidence, this is the perfect time to be playing them. I cannot see anything other than a West Brom win and do expect them to win by at least two goals. |
|||||||
01-15-17 | Steelers +119 v. Chiefs | 18-16 | Win | 119 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
I am going with Pittsburgh to claim the win this evening. I thought the Steelers were highly impressive against Miami and who can forget the way they dispatched the Chiefs earlier in the season. I have not seen enough from the Chiefs to convince me that they have turned around their fortunes to such an extent that they can reverse the previous result between these two. The Chiefs of course have home advantage and that is probably the only reason they are the favourites in this one, but for me it will not be enough of an advantage for them to claim the win. Take the Steelers outright. |
|||||||
01-15-17 | Packers +200 v. Cowboys | 34-31 | Win | 200 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
I am going with the Packers to spring a surprise and win this one outright. Green Bay come into this one following a very impressive 38-13 win over the Giants, they have momentum now and confidence will be very high. The Cowboys did hand out a beating to the Packers earlier in the season, but that was a very different time, the Cowboys had their own momentum then and were in the middle of their impressive unbeaten run, that is no longer the case. For me the momentum is now with the Packers and not the Cowboys, they both come into this game with very different circumstances and I am confident that Green Bay will put in a solid performance tonight and get the win. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Texans +17 v. Patriots | 16-34 | Loss | -120 | 5 h 45 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I do expect that the Patriots will win this one and probably comfortably, but not by such a high margin that is on offer and I am taking the Texans to remain within 17 points. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Seahawks v. Falcons UNDER 52.5 | 20-36 | Loss | -115 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I do not see this game going beyond 50 points, I know what the Falcons offense is capable of but history is not good to them and the Seahawks defence is more than capable of keeping the points down. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Chelsea v. Leicester +0.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
There is no getting away from the fact that Chelsea are in great form overall, but I do not see them as any sort of value to win this game and there is good reasons why they may not. For starters their unbeaten run came to an abrupt end away to Tottenham, they have problems with certain players, Costa as an example and it was always the case that they would at some point have a dip in form, that time could well be now. Leicester are not the team they were last season, but they have shown on occasions, especially against the big teams, that they can be competitive again as they proved against Man City recently. The Foxes are no easy side to beat at their home ground and with questions about Chelsea now surfacing I am inclined to go with the home side not to lose and claim at least a draw and therefore cover the spread. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Crystal Palace v. West Ham United +135 | 0-3 | Win | 135 | 2 h 27 m | Show | |
I am going with West Ham to claim all three points today. The Hammers have not been brilliant at home this season and they have internal issues, however, when they play against teams in the bottom half at home they tend to win. Palace have not shown much since Sam Allardyce took over and the chances are that they still require time to get to grips with his style of management. Considering that West Ham do well at home against lower level teams and that Palace still have to click under new management I am going with a West Ham win. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Southampton v. Burnley +270 | 0-1 | Win | 270 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
I like the look of Burnley in this game. Burnley are surprisingly strong at home, they have the sixth best home record in the Premier League, even better than Man Utd, they have won four of their last five home games and are very good value considering their odds. Southampton have won just twice in ten games away this season, they have lost on five occasions and are hardly the best travellers, additionally they have lost three of their last five away games. If this was played at Southampton it would be very different, but it is not and Burnley are the clear value pick for the win. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | AFC Bournemouth v. Hull City +210 | 1-3 | Win | 210 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
I like the look of Hull in this one. Hull are rock bottom, that is a fact, but they have been unlucky and could quite easily of picked up the odd win with a bit of luck, they may not be the strongest side at home, but Bournemouth are not exactly world beaters on the road either. I have seen both these teams play recently and I was far more impressed with Hull than Bournemouth, though in all fairness there were mitigating circumstances. Bottom line for me is that I am of the opinion that Hull are a better home side than Bournemouth are away and the value clearly lies with Hull City. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Stoke City v. Sunderland +230 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
I think the odds makers have been slightly harsh on Sunderland and have underestimated them, I do understand why in all fairness, but that does not make them right. Stoke are poor away from home, just two wins in ten away games proves that and while Sunderland have also been poor at home, it is were they have collected 11 of their 15 points this season. In better words Sunderland are a far better team in front of their home fans than on their travels. Stoke are the opposite, they have collected nine points away out of the 24 points they have collected this season, not awful, but hardly inspiring. The value pick is clearly a home win and that is the pick for me. |
|||||||
01-14-17 | Middlesbrough v. Watford +145 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
I am taking Watford to get back on track and claim all three points today. Watford have been in poor form recently, they have managed just one win in their last six games and have not won at all in their last five, but they have faced stiff opposition a couple of times and their home record is better than it looks on paper. They have lost just twice in their last eight home games, winning on four occasions, so not that bad. Middlesbrough are in their own mini crisis as well, they have also recorded just the one win in their last six games and have won away just once all season and that was at Sunderland, they have lost their last three away games on the bounce and the only silver lining for them today is that they are visiting Watford at a time that they are struggling. Watford are the clear value here, they have a half decent home record, whereas Middlesbrough are woeful away, they are in no worse shape than Boro and in front of their home fans I take them to get the win. |

01-13-17 | Derby County v. Leeds United +140 | 0-1 | Win | 140 | 3 h 46 m | Show | |
I am going with Leeds United to get the win in front of their home fans in this game. Leeds are in fine form, they have won their last four home games without conceding a single goal, those home wins include defeating the likes of Aston Villa and third placed Reading. Overall they have won nine of their last 12 games, drawing two and losing just once. Derby are not in bad form themselves overall, but they have failed to win in their last two away games and the signs are that they are struggling to maintain momentum with just one win in their last four Championship games, bearing in mind they had won seven in a row before their last four games. In front of their home fans and with excellent momentum behind them I am confident that Leeds United will collect all three points today. |

01-11-17 | Liverpool v. Southampton OVER 2.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 38 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am very confident that we will see at least three goals in this game, both sides are more than capable of scoring and I am of the opinion that the most likely scoreline will be 2-1 to Liverpool, but my confidence is not as high as it needs to be to make them a cast iron pick, but I do see a winner emerging and based on both sides scoring then the most logical pick is the overs. |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Lions +8 v. Seahawks | 6-26 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
I just do not make the Seahawks 8 point favourites in this match up, they may well win the game, but not by the margin that the odds show. Detroit may have well lost their last three games, but look at who their opposition was in those games, the Giants, Cowboys and Packers, all teams that reached the post season. The Seahawks have hardly done that much better, they have as many losses as wins in their last six games and in their final game only just got the better of the woeful 49er's. I was very tempted to go with the Lions to win this one outright to be honest, the odds were just so inviting, but I cannot ignore their last three games despite the calibre of opposition, but 8 points is just far too high in my opinion. All things considered the value is the Lions +8 |
|||||||
01-07-17 | Raiders v. Texans OVER 37 | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
This game could hang on how the respective teams cope with their quarterback situations and it is difficult to go one way or the other because of that. The Raiders are having to use a rookie while the Texans are having to revert to using a QB they benched just three weeks ago. This game could basically swing either way, the Texans are the slight favourites and that is reflected in the odds, but they make no appeal to me whatsoever and neither do the Raiders for that matter. What is appealing is the overs, I believe it has been set too low and while I accept that the QB conundrum makes for some uncertainty I do believe that both sides are more than capable of getting at least 20 points. Bottom line is I have this game at about 40 points, I would have had it closer to 50 points with more settled QB's, but regardless, 37 is too low and I am of the opinion that will be easily breached. |
|||||||
01-05-17 | Portsmouth v. Doncaster Rovers OVER 2.5 | 1-3 | Win | 110 | 1 h 41 m | Show | |
Tricky top of the table match up between league two leaders Doncaster and fourth placed Portsmouth. This is a difficult game to call and is best left alone when it comes to picking a winner, however that does not mean that there is not a good value bet to be had. Doncaster games this season have seen an average of 3.2 goals in them, while Portsmouth games have seen an average of 2.45, not quite over 2.5 goals, but close enough when taken together with Doncaster scoring record. Admittedly the last few games of both sides have been low scoring affairs, however it is necessary to take into consideration the circumstances of this game. Both sides want the win, it is very important at this stage of the season and whichever team scores first you can be assured that their opponents will come back on the attack, which will open the game up. Additionally, both sides are capable of hitting back if they go behind, it will be a lot harder to sit on a lead. All things considered I am going for over 2.5 goals in this one. |
|||||||
01-04-17 | Chelsea v. Tottenham Hotspur +185 | 0-2 | Win | 185 | 1 h 52 m | Show | |
I am going with Tottenham to win this big game today. When these two met at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season it was a game of two halves, Tottenham dominated the first half while Chelsea dominated the second half. I thought Tottenham were better overall and if they would have finished better in the first half they would have been out of sight, basically they allowed Chelsea to remain in the game and paid the price. I do not see that happening again, I know that Chelsea are on an epic run of 13 wins, but they are playing a bitter London rival that is more than a match for them and playing that game away from home. It will be an exciting game no doubt, it will be played with passion and the referee may well have a busy night, but come 90 minutes I do expect Tottenham to emerge the winners. |
|||||||
01-03-17 | Swansea City v. Crystal Palace -1 | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
I am going with Crystal Palace to win by at least a couple of goals. Crystal Palace home record this season has seen them gain two wins, one draw and six losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record no wins, two draws and three losses. In their most recent league game they lost 2-0 against Arsenal and find themselves in 17th position on 16 points. Palace are now under new management with former England boss Sam Allardyce at the helm and even though they lost 2-0 against Arsenal they did show improved form and if any manager can get quick results when taking over it is Allardyce, he is a master at turning clubs around and I fully expect that to be the case today. Swansea City away record this season has seen them gain one wins, one draws and seven losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record one wins, no draws and four losses. In their most recent league game they lost 3-0 against Bournemouth and find themselves in 20th on 12 points. Swansea are in a terrible state, they have a third manager this season, Paul Clement, though he will not be in charge today, they are in a serious downward spiral, they have zero confidence and there is zero evidence that they do any better today than they did against Bournemouth. Take Palace to win by a couple of goals, they are simply in a better situation than their opponents. |
|||||||
01-03-17 | Arsenal -1 v. AFC Bournemouth | 3-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
I am going with Arsenal to win this one and win it comfortably AFC Bournemouth home record this season has seen them gain five wins, one draw and three losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record two win, no draws and three losses. In their most recent league game they have won 3-0 against Chelsea and find themselves in ninth position on 24 points. Bournemouth have recorded some good results at home, notably against Tottenham and Liverpool, but this time they will be without Jack Wilshere and facing a team that tends to beat smaller teams consistently Arsenal away record this season has seen them gain five wins, two draws and two losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record three wins, no draws and two losses. In their most recent league game the gunners won 2-0 against Crystal Palace and find themselves in fourth on 40 points. This is a game that the Gunners really should win, especially if they continue to harbour hopes of winning the Premier League, they will not have to face Wilshere as they have loaned him to Bournemouth and therefore they will be facing a weakened team. All things considered I do expect Arsenal to win by at least two goals. |
|||||||
01-02-17 | Manchester United v. West Ham United OVER 2.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -140 | 3 h 59 m | Show | |
I am going with over 2.5 goals in this one West Ham United home record this season has seen them gain four wins, two draw and three losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record three win, one draw and one loss. In their most recent league game they lost 1-0 against Leicester City and find themselves in 12th position on 22 points. West Ham will not be intimidated by United, they always fancy their chances against them and will be ready, at worst I do see them scoring, even if they end up losing. Manchester United away record this season has seen them gain five wins, two draws and two losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record five wins, no draw and no losses. In their most recent league game they won 2-1 against Middlesbrough and find themselves in sixth on 36 points. United are flying, they have won their last five premier league games and will be looking for another win today, they may well win this game but I do not see them keeping a clean sheet and I smell goals in this game. Even at poor odds, taking over 2.5 goals is the bet to have. |
|||||||
01-02-17 | Burnley +2 v. Manchester City | 1-2 | Win | 115 | 1 h 59 m | Show | |
I am going with Burnley not to lose this game by more than two goals. Manchester City home record this season has seen them gain five wins, three draw and one losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record three win, 0 draws and two losses. In their most recent league game the citizens lost 1-0 against Liverpool and find themselves in fifth position on 39 points. City are clearly not firing on all cylinders, they are closer to missing out on a Champions League spot than winning the title and while they may win this game, I am not convinced they will win it in a canter. Burnley away record this season has seen them gain no wins, one draw and seven losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record three wins, no draws and two losses. In their most recent league game the clarets won 4-1 against Sunderland and find themselves in 11th on 23 points. Burnley are in good recent form and while I cannot see them actually winning this game, I do see them staying close to City. All things considered I am going for Burnley on the spread. |
|||||||
01-02-17 | Southampton v. Everton +115 | 0-3 | Win | 115 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
I am going with an Everton win in this one Everton home record this season has seen them gain four wins, four draw and one losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record two win, one draws and two losses. In their most recent league game the toffees drew 2-2 against Hull City and find themselves in seventh position on 27 points. Everton love playing at home, they are in good spirits and they could not have hoped for a better time to be playing Southampton, they will feel they have a strong opportunity to record a win in front of their home fans today. Southampton away record this season has seen them gain two wins, three draws and four losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record two wins, one draw and two losses. In their most recent league game the saints lost 1-2 against West Bromwich and find themselves in ninth on 24 points. Southampton have hit a wobble, they are on a losing run, albeit a minor one and will be looking to get back to winning ways, I just cannot see them doing that today. Everton win for me |
|||||||
01-02-17 | Liverpool -1.5 v. Sunderland | 2-2 | Loss | -125 | 1 h 50 m | Show | |
I am going with Liverpool to stroll to victory today Sunderland home record this season has seen them gain three wins, one draw and five losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record one win, no draws and four losses. In their most recent league game the black cats lost 4-1 against Burnley and find themselves in 18th position on 14 points. Sunderland are woeful again, they did look to be getting it right, but four losses in their last five games, especially the manner of the loss against Burnley, has seen their season hit the skids once again and I cannot see it getting any better today. Liverpool away record this season has seen them gain six wins, two draws and two losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record four wins, one draw and no losses. In their most recent league game the reds won 1-0 against Manchester City and find themselves in second on 43 points. Bottom line for me is that if Liverpool play to form then they willwin this game and win it by at least a couple of goals and all the available evidence indicates that is exactly what is going to happy. Liverpool to win by at least two goals. |
|||||||
01-02-17 | Hull City +1 v. West Bromwich Albion | 1-3 | Loss | -225 | 1 h 47 m | Show | |
I am going with Hull City to get either the win or draw today West Bromwich Albion home record this season has seen them gain four wins, two draw and three losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record two win, no draws and three losses. In their most recent league game they won 2-1 against Southampton and find themselves in eighth position on 26 points. West Brom are not exactly consistent, they may be doing better than Hull this season, but they are just as capable of losing this game or more likely to draw it as they are to win. Hull City away record this season has seen them gain one win, one draw and seven losses. Their recent form, over their last five league games has seen them record no wins, two draw and three losses. In their most recent league game they drew 2-2 against Everton and find themselves in 19th on 13 points. If Hull can play this game like they did against Everton then there is every chance that they will collect at least a point, this is a good chance for them to get some momentum going and I am of the opinion that they will take it. Take Hull +1 |

I see the Seahawks running out convincing winners but I also expect that the 49ers will put up a decent show against Seattle, this should be an easy win for Seattle, but I do expect San Francisco to put a credible amount of points on the board. |

12-28-16 | Tottenham Hotspur +160 v. Southampton | 4-1 | Win | 160 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
I am going with Tottenham to emerge the winners in this one. Southampton are a solid side at home, there is no doubt about that, however, Tottenham are a top side and providing they play to form they should sneak the win here . In the four games played at Southampton since 2012 Tottenham have won 3 and drawn 1, Southampton at home have not beaten Spurs since 2005 and considering the strengths and form of both teams I see no reason at all why that would change now. A draw was a possibility, but the more I looked at this game the more I became convinced that Tottenham would get the win. I see Tottenham dominating the midfield and having the far larger share of possession and as long as they can convert the many chances the many chances they will make then I can see no other result than an away win. |
|||||||
12-28-16 | Rangers +105 v. St. Johnstone | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
I am going with Rangers to get the win this evening in Scotland. Rangers currently sit second in the Scottish Premiership, they still have some way to go before they can compete with bitter rivals Celtic, but they are on the right track and building momentum, they have five wins in their last six Premiership games and that single loss was away to Hearts. Rangers are not dominant away like they once were but they still have more away wins than losses and draws, whereas St Johnstone have just three wins at home all season, in fact they have won more times away than they have at home. The form is with Rangers, the stats are with Rangers and the truth is, that Rangers are simply the better team and if they play to form, they will win. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I see a lot of points in this one, my analysis has this game going over 50 points and so getting over 45 points makes this a must have selection. Take over 45 points. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I fully expect City to win this one, I know they have been inconsistent, but they are playing the worse team in the Premier League and if they cannot win this one then they have some serious issues. Not only do I expect City to win, but expect them to win by at least two goals. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. Burnley do well at home against teams on their level, in fact teams like Everton and Liverpool have fallen at Burnley and I expect Middlesbrough to do exactly the same. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. Leicester only win at home and Everton have a poor away record, I can see the Champions winning this one as my confidence in Everton getting anything from this game is minimal. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I see United winning this one by a single goal, they are not quite there under Jose Mourinho and Sunderland have improved under David Moyes, therefore backing Sunderland with a two goal lead is the safe option. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. Swansea are starting to improve, yes they are still vulnerable to a beating as last weeks result showed, but back on their home ground against an inconsistent West Ham gives them a great opportunity to claim all three points. |

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I fully expect Arsenal to bounce back from their loss to Man City, yes West Brom are a hard team to beat, but a wounded Arsenal at home is very formidable and I expect them to win this game by at least two goals, if not more. |

Merry Christmas, I hope you all have had a wonderful day.

Merry Christmas, I hope you all have had a wonderful day. There will be little analysis today because of the festivities, but be assured that this pick has been analysed and researched and is posted with the highest confidence. I am going with the Steelers to win this one and win it by at least 7 points and am therefore happy to accept -5.5 spread. |

12-23-16 | West Sydney v. Brisbane Roar +100 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
This game presents a great opportunity for Brisbane to move within four points of league leaders Sydney FC and I fully expect them to take advantage. Brisbane are unbeaten at home this season, they have won three times and drawn twice and those two draws were against the teams currently occupying first and second in the standings. It will take a great performance from Western Sydney to beat Brisbane on their home ground and while they are competent on the road, I am of the opinion that Brisbane will have too much for them. Brisbane have better form, taking 12 points from a possible 18 over their last six games, whereas Sydney have managed just the six. All things considered I am going for a clear home win. |
|||||||
12-22-16 | Giants v. Eagles UNDER 42.5 | 19-24 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
I am going with the unders on this. For starters all the Giants games on the road have finished unders and five of the Eagles home games have also been unders. Another factor is that despite being on a five game losing streak the Eagles are quite tight at home, with an average of just 15 points per game being conceded. The Giants are hardly prolific point scorers either, they have only broken twenty points once when on the road and that was against the worst team in the NFL, Cleveland Browns. Basically we have a home side, who are on a losing run, that does not concede that many and the away side, who are on fire, not scoring highly away. Everything here points to a low scoring game.. |
|||||||
12-18-16 | Raiders -2.5 v. Chargers | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
I am going with the Raiders to win this one and cover the spread. Oakland only had themselves to blame for their loss against Kansas, they had more than enough opportunities to win that game but failed to take them, a lot had to do with Carr, his injured finger obviously had an impact no matter what he says, his throwing was well off and he was hesitant, I do not expect that to be an issue today. If the Raiders get their act together today they will win this no matter how the Chargers do, they are the better team, they are well rested now and unlike San Diego, they do have something to play for. Take the Raiders -2.5 |
|||||||
12-18-16 | Packers -4 v. Bears | 30-27 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 36 m | Show | |
I fully expect the Packers to win this one and win it convincingly. I have Green Bay as seven point favourites in this one and so the spread being set at just 4 makes this a must have pick. Green Bay have huge momentum at the moment, they still have play off hopes, which did look dead a couple of weeks back, but they have put together a winning streak and when any team has a resurgence then they become almost unstoppable. Chicago are hardly the hardest opponents and I just cannot see them putting too many points on the board against the Packers defense. All things considered I am going for the Packers and for them to win by more than four points. |
|||||||
12-18-16 | Titans v. Chiefs OVER 41.5 | 19-17 | Loss | -111 | 2 h 26 m | Show | |
I am going for the overs in this one. Both these teams are more than capable of putting points on the board and I fully expect this game to be closer to 50 points than 40 points and am therefore happy to take over 41.5 points. In 7 their last 8 games Tennesee have scored at least 26 points, win or lose and I see no reason why they will not get close to that figure today. Obviously they are playing a class team in Kansas, who themselves are on a three game winning streak and while they have not been the highest of scorers, they are at home and will want to cement their position as top dogs in the AFC West. Both teams have something to play for and while there may be some conservative play I do expect both teams to become more aggressive as the game goes on. Take over 41.5 points. |

12-18-16 | Steelers v. Bengals OVER 45.5 | 24-20 | Loss | -101 | 2 h 16 m | Show | |
I like the overs on this one and expect this game to be over 50 points. Both teams are in fairly decent form, the Steelers are on a four game winning run and the Bengals are on a two game winning run, the Steelers are in a much better position than the Bengals, but that does not mean that they are the only side with something to play for, the Bengals still have an outside chance of the play offs and will be desperate to get the win. Both teams will be going all out t win this one and I fully expect some aggressive offense and that means points on the board. Considering the circumstances for both teams I am happy to take over 45.5 points on this one. |

12-18-16 | Lions +180 v. Giants | 6-17 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
I fancy the Lions to spring a surprise and get the win against New York today. There is an outside chance that Detroit can wrap up the NFC North with a win over the Giants and that will be their primary focus in this game. New York did stop Dallas last week and they are on a great run at the moment, but I am far from convinced about them, they do not win convincingly and a look at their recent wins shows that they are against poor opposition, Dallas apart. The Lions are also in great form and I just feel their wins have been more convincing overall. This will be a tight game but I am very confident that the Lions will grab the win today. |

12-18-16 | Southampton v. AFC Bournemouth OVER 2.5 | 3-1 | Win | 120 | 1 h 34 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. This is a derby of sorts and generally speaking when you have a derby between two competitive sides there is goals and that is what I expect in this game. Both sides are capable of scoring goals when they are in the mood and while their respective records have not seem an abundance of goals this season I am confident that will change today. Because of the circumstances of this game I cannot pick a winner, always a risky affairs in these sort of rivalries, but I am confident that we will see a free flowing game between two passionate teams determined not to lose. Over 2.5 goals looks the best pick in this game, it carries the most certainty. |
|||||||
12-17-16 | Manchester United v. West Bromwich Albion OVER 2.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 27 m | Show | |
I am going with over 2.5 goals in this game. My logic is simple really, I expect Man Utd to win and expect West Brom to score, therefore over 2.5 goals is the value pick in this game. West Brom have scored at least once in seven of their last eight home games, the only time they did not was when they lost 4-0 to Man City, also five of their last six home games have had at least three goals in them. Four of United's last six away games have all had at least three goals in them, they have been able to keep a clean sheet away from home just twice all season. All this points to a game with at least three goals and both teams to score. Considering the form of both teams and recent results then it is highly likely in my opinion that this game will have the three goals minimum I predict. |
|||||||
12-17-16 | Leicester v. Stoke City +155 | 2-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 20 m | Show | |
I am going with Stoke City to win today and collect all three points. I had given Leicester a chance following their win over Man City, but it has become clear that in the Premier League they are two teams, a decent one at home, though not formidable, and a poor one away from home. Stoke are decent at home, they have lost three times, two of those losses have been against top teams, they did well midweek drawing at home against Southampton after being reduced to ten men early on and even though they did not win that game, it showed how strong they are at home by not losing when they were at a huge disadvantage playing 10 v 11. I expect this to be a close game but for Stoke to just edge it by a single goal. |
|||||||
12-17-16 | Swansea City v. Middlesbrough +105 | 0-3 | Win | 105 | 2 h 14 m | Show | |
I really fancy Middlesbrough to win this one at home against a very poor Swansea outfit. Middlesbrough have proven to be a hard team to beat, they have got some good results against the top teams this season and even when they have lost, they put in decent performances, that is not something that can be said about Swansea. Both teams lost midweek but both played very different sides, Middlesbrough were humbled by Liverpool and Swansea beaten away by West Brom, I am inclined to give Middlesbrough the benefit of doubt because of who their opponent was, Swansea however were beaten away from home yet again and against very mediocre opposition. With home advantage I do expect Middlesbrough to win this one today. |
|||||||
12-17-16 | Watford v. Sunderland +150 | 0-1 | Win | 150 | 2 h 8 m | Show | |
I am going with Sunderland to win this one. If this game was played at Watford then I would have gone for a Watford win, but it is at Sunderland and that makes a difference for me. Sunderland are doing better, they are not consistent I accept that, but their performances have improved, they are certainly a lot more organised now under David Moyes and are getting better, they are making it difficult for teams and against the type of opposition that Watford are, then with home advantage I expect Sunderland to perform well. Watford done a number on Everton and did well despite losing against Man City in the following game, they are not an easy team to beat, but their away form is not good and they are not the best of travellers. Last time at home Sunderland lost 1-0 to Chelsea, no embarrassment that and previous to that they won their previous two home games,, in better words they are becoming a hard team to beat at home. Considering how Sunderland are improving and that they are at home playing an inconsistent Waford who struggle on the road then I am going for a Sunderland win. |
|||||||
12-17-16 | Hull City v. West Ham United -1 | 0-1 | Push | 0 | 2 h 3 m | Show | |
I am going with West Ham on the spreads here. This is more about how poor Hull have been recently as opposed to how well West Ham have been doing, which has not been great. But, West Ham did get a confidence boosting win midweek against Burnley and that followed a very creditable draw away at Liverpool, they seem to be building some momentum and will be looking for a third good result in a row today. Hull City have won just once in their last 14 Premier League games, they scrape the odd draw now and then but generally speaking have been woeful, they got beat easily 3--0 away at Spurs midweek and have lost their last six away games in the Premier League on the bounce, they have conceded 19 goals in those six games and scored just twice, a truly awful record. I expect West Ham to win and to win by more than one goal today. |
|||||||
12-15-16 | Rams v. Seahawks OVER 39 | 3-24 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
I have learned my lesson where the Seahawks are concerned and will be going overs in this one. The last two times I have done a pick on a Seahawks game I went unders and on both occasions I called it wrong, first the Seahawks put the Panthers to the sword and next time out the Packers did the same to the Seahawks. Now, if Seattle was playing almost any other side I would have gone unders, but they are playing the Rams and straight off the bat I can see the Seahawks scoring at least 30 points, the question for me was how many points can I see the Rams scoring. Well, I can see the Rams scraping up double figures, only just though, I see them scoring between 10 and 14 points and the Seahawks at least 30 and thus the logic is simple, it has to be overs. Take over 39 points. |
|||||||
12-14-16 | Manchester United v. Crystal Palace OVER 2.5 | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 46 m | Show | |
Tricky games this one, on paper you would have to say Man Utd, but Palace are at home and while they hardly have a stellar home record it is only slight worse than what United have done away. Therein lies the issue for me, the away record of United, it is simply poor and drains the confidence and the appalling odds on them just do not justify picking them. Same applies to Palace, they have lost four from seven at home and won just twice, how can anyone back a side with a record like that against a team like United. Bottom line is that this game could go anywhere, either team could win or it could be a draw, there is just no pick to be made on the outright result. But there is with the overs. Palace have gone overs in their last seven Premier League games on the bounce, that is rather impressive all things considered. Now, United have only gone over 2.5 goals in their last seven Premier League games, but they have been very unlucky and that cannot continue, it is only a matter of time before the United players find their scoring feet and Palace are the perfect opposition for that considering how they leak goals. The overs looks a solid bet to me and that is how I will be betting on this game today. |

12-14-16 | Southampton v. Stoke City +225 | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
I am surprised at the odds on Stoke City this evening, i believe they are far too high and will gladly accept the generosity of the sports books. Stoke have lost three times at home this season, but two of those losses were against Tottenham and Man City, I have said it before, Stoke have a very good home record if you leave the elite sides out of it. They have won three of their last four home games and in Southampton they are not playing a side with a brilliant away record. The Saints have lost four from seven on the road this season and won just the once, they may have a great home record, but their away form is poor. The odds on Stoke winning are just too high to be ignored, they are the home side, they have won three from their last four at home, while Southampton have not won in their last four on the road and have lost their last two away games to Hull and Crystal Palace, conceding five and scoring just the once. A home win for me in this one |
|||||||
12-14-16 | Preston North End v. Nottingham Forest | 1-1 | Win | 225 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
I like the look of the draw in this one. Only three points separate these two in the Championship after 20 game, both are in more or less the same sort of from, Preston have gained one point more than their opponents over the last six games while Forest obviously have home advantage. I do not have enough confidence in either team to win this game, it is hard to make a case for either side, but the draw does have a lot going for it based on current form and how the teams have performed over the entire season. The value certainly lies with the draw and that is the pick for me. |
|||||||
12-13-16 | Arsenal v. Everton +0.5 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am taking Everton on the spreads. The only way this pick loses is if Everton lose at home, something that happens rarely, the last big side to visit Goodison Park was United and that ended in a draw. Take Everton +0.5 |
|||||||
12-13-16 | Leicester +185 v. AFC Bournemouth | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 52 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I fancy Leicester City in this one. Borunemouth are no walkovers at home, but the Foxes are on the verge of getting back to last seasons form, they showed their true abilities with the win over Man City at the weekend and I expect them to kick on from that result and get another win. |
|||||||
12-12-16 | Ravens +6.5 v. Patriots | 23-30 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
I am going with the Ravens to stay within 6.5 points of the Patriots this evening. Out of the last six games between these two the points difference has been four or fewer on no less than four occasions and it must be noted that while New England do regularly beat the Ravens, the Ravens have notched up a couple of wins themselves over the Patriots, Both sides have something significant to play for, New England want to claim first seed and the Ravens are still very much in the race for top spot in the AFC North. New England are used to running over their opponents, but they simply do not do that too often against Baltimore, yes they do get the better of them more often than not, but generally by close margins. I am not saying that Baltimore will win this one, that would be a bit of a leap, but I am saying that they will remain within six points of their opponents and that is my pick tonight. |

12-11-16 | Cowboys v. Giants OVER 46 | 7-10 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. This one has all the ingredients for a high scoring game and I have this one down as going over 50 points and as soon as I saw that the totals had been set at just 46 points I knew that this was one I simply had to be on. Take over 46 points |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Falcons v. Rams OVER 44.5 | 42-14 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am going with over 44.5 points in this one. Both these sides can easily rack the points up if they are in the mood and at the same time, both their defences can be vulnerable and all the ingredients are there in this game for it being a high scoring affair, I actually have this one to go over 50 points, so over 44.5 is a gift to me. |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Seahawks v. Packers UNDER 44.5 | 10-38 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I cannot see the Seahawks putting a ton of points on the board like they did against Carolina, the circumstances were unique in that game with the Cam Newton situation, that is not the case tonight and I see this being a low scoring affair wwith the defences being superior over the offenses. Take the unders |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Saints v. Bucs OVER 51 | 11-16 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. This one has the potential to go over 60 points, both these teams can score at will and both can concede points at will, all the ingredients for a high scoring affair. The totals has been set high, but the truth is that I can see it being beaten easily and I am confident that this one will be closer to 60 points than 50. Take over 51 points. |

12-11-16 | Jets +130 v. 49ers | 23-17 | Win | 130 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am going with the Jets to win this one outright. I am far from certain that all is well at San Francisco, they look to be a very disconcerted bunch and not at all happy, that is showing in their performances and results, they do put in the odd decent performance, yet still lose and while the Jets are not much better, I am of the opinion that they are better than this 49ers outfit if they get their tactics right. |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Chargers v. Panthers -112 | 16-28 | Win | 100 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am taking the Panthers to bounce back from their devastating loss to Seattle last week and regain some pride in front of their home fans. Panthers to win outright |

12-11-16 | Steelers v. Bills +125 | 27-20 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am going with the Bills to win this one in front of their home fans and keep their very slim hopes of a play off spot alive. The Steelers are on a roll and will be looking to notch up another win, however, they remain inconsistent and that will show today. Take the Bills to win outright. |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Bengals -5 v. Browns | 23-10 | Win | 100 | 3 h 0 m | Show | |
Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence. I am going withe the Bengals to win this one and cover the five point spread. The Browns have had a horrendous season and I cannot see it getting any better today against the Bengals and while Cincinnati have not had a great season themselves, it has still been a whole lot better than what Cleveland have served up. Take the Bengals to cover the spread. |
