NFL September 16th

5-2-1 on NFL up 8.98 units

Texans at -150 for 5 units. Deshaun Watson will play better this week. The Texans hung in with the Patriots and that translates well to this game. JJ Watt is a beast and the game is in Houston. Delanie Walker is a huge loss for the Titans. I think they should sign Dez personally. The Titans are missing offensive linemen and that is never good against one of the best defensive lines in the league. This one should be closer to -225. Hammer it.

Chargers at -310 for 3 units. Bills fade.

49ers -6 for 2 units. I don’t believe in Jimmy G and that is why I bet the Vikings so heavy last week. The Lions are not the Vikings.. I know, groundbreaking info. The lions will be missing multiple offensive linemen and possibly Ansah. The 49ers defense had some solid penetration last week and I expect that to show up even more this week.

Rams -13 for 2 units. Not going to overthink this one. Rams are one of the best teams in the league and the Cardinals are one of the worst. Gurley will run down their throats in the second half just like he did last week.

Panthers +6 for 3 units. Keanu Neal is out for the Falcons and that means Christian McCaffrey, Cam Newton, and whoever else runs the ball for the Panthers will find a lot more daylight. Greg Olsen is out for the Panthers, but they can overcome that. These rivalry games are usually close which adds to my confidence in this pick. I truly believe the Panthers are one of the best teams in the NFL this year and I expect them to do well in this spot. The Falcons have not won a game in the pre, regular, or postseason since they beat the Rams in early January.

Soccer September 16th – Zlatan Ibrahimovic

17-14-2 on Soccer since World Cup up 8.40 units

Zlatan scored his 500th goal in true Ibra fashion. Yeah, he knows taekwondo. I mean the LA Galaxy have an overpaid shitty defense, but Zlatan is amazing. Even Toronto’s fans gave a standing ovation for this goal. Some of my other Zlatan favorites (he has so many to choose from, but these are top 500) are his bicycle kick vs England and his superb solo goal for Ajax. 

Now on to the plays.

Juventus at -417 for 5 units. Sassuolo have not lost a game all season. Juventus will not underestimate them. Juventus have won 9 out of their last 10 games at home in Turin. Mario Mandzukic has been in great from since the start of the World Cup really, but more recently, he has scored in the past two games. Kevin-Prince Boateng is one of my favorite players in Serie A and he has been scoring for Sassuolo. Ronaldo only has one assist and no goals domestically since coming to Italy, that will most likely change today.

Sevilla at -145 for 3 units. Sevilla at home. Sevilla lost the “Andalusian derby” to Betis last time out, but they have looked great in Europa League.. what’s new? Getafe has one of the best defenses in Spain, but Sevilla is not an easy place to play. Jorge Molina will hope to be a factor for Getafe as he used to play for Sevilla’s rival Betis. Sevilla’s last two loses at home that were not friendlies were against Barcelona and Bayern..
