NFL WEEK 1

NFL WEEK 1

The NFL season is finally here! Kansas City takes on New England Thursday September 7th to start things off and then there is a full slate of games over the weekend. The most heavily bet American sport presents many opportunities for us and I’m going to take a look at a few potential plays for week 1. Obviously, this is written on Tuesday (9/5) so always keep an eye on the changing lines and percentages.

The main strategy I want to implement is fading the public. Books will want to take advantage of the public  ... 

AFC EAST PREVIEW

With opening weekend (September 7th) right around the corner, now is the time to start digging deeper into expectations for each team. Today we will take a look at the AFC EAST.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Last season: 14-2

BetOnline O/U wins: 12.5

New England has won the AFC East the last eight straight years and it doesn’t look like that will change in 2017. Losing Julian Edelman to a knee injury in the preseason is a big loss but the Patriots always find a way to make replacements work. It doesn’t hurt to have Tom Brady available for  ... 

MLS Match Preview & Predictions for September 2nd

Although the United States and other CONCACAF region teams are playing in World Cup qualifying matches, Major League Soccer will continue this weekend with an abbreviated schedule on September 2nd.

Four matches are on tap and three of which have playoff ramifications.

Montreal Impact vs. Chicago Fire

These two teams are certainly going in different directions. Montreal has won four of its last five matches, while Chicago has lost five of six. The Fire were one of MLS’s best teams until July when the club went into a tailspin that has lasted throughout August.  ... 

Baseball predictions September 1 – September 3

Boston Red Sox versus New York Yankees

Looking at match ups in this classic division rivalry, the Red Sox hold a slight advantages in Power Ranking, MLB Strength Oscillator and Power Ranking Indicator. They are sixth in Power Ranking compared to eighth for the Yankees and hold a very small +21 to +20 edge in the Power Ranking Indicator. Neither team rank high in Team Volatility, so they are far from sure bets as favorites or as underdogs.

The UEFA Champions League group stages kickoff on September 12th with the first match day. With the top club competition ready to go for another season, bookmakers have released odds for this season’s cup winner.

The UEFA Champions League will have the top players in the world competing, and selecting this year’s top scorer could be lucrative.

Can Liverpool Advance to Champions League Group Stages?

The Champions League qualifying second leg matches take place this week, and many eyes will be on Liverpool as the five-time winners of the competition hope to seal passage to the group stages.

Liverpool defeated German side Hoffenheim in Germany, 2-1, a week ago. However, Liverpool gave up a late goal to Hoffenheim, which could come back to haunt the English side. Although Hoffenheim was difficult to breakdown, Liverpool was the better side during the first leg. Pressure will be high on the Reds back on Merseyside, as fans are hungry for the team to make the Champions  ... 

NFC NORTH PREVIEW

Opening weekend (September 7th) is right around the corner and with a few key injuries and suspensions already making headlines, now is the time to start digging deeper into expectations for each team. Today we will take a look at the NFC North.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

Last season: 10-6

BetOnline O/U wins: 10.5

As long as Aaron Rodgers is the Packers QB, it’s hard to consider any other team for the NFC North. Green Bay won the division for the 5th time in 6 years and it doesn’t look there is a team to challenge them this season.  ...
