Soccer – November 9th – German Giants Meet

56-39-5 on Soccer since World Cup up 24.84 units

Hoffenheim at -152 for 2 units. Hoffenheim and Augsburg are not the German Giants I was referring to in the title, but Hoffenheim are on the longest win streak in the Bundesliga right now. The youngster Reiss Nelson has been scoring pretty goals for Hoffenheim of late. Augsburg haven’t looked convincing and Hoffenheim came back down a man and two goals to tie a good Lyon team midweek. That should give them enough confidence to win here.

Leicester City -1 at -121 for 3 units. Burnley have lost 3 in a row, all by 2 goals or more. Leicester have to win these home games if they want to qualify for Europe.

Tottenham at -121 for 3 units. I get Crystal Palace have talent, but Tottenham should be more heavily favored in this one. Palace have 8 goals in 11 league games this season. Tottenham have only lost 2 of their last 12 matches and those loses were to Barcelona and Manchester City. Gap in class here.

Atletico Madrid at -208 for 6 units. Atletico have only given up 6 goals in 11 games this La Liga season. Bilbao have not won a game since September 6th. It will not be easy for them to score in this one. Inaki Williams has shown some class for Bilbao lately, but Griezmann and company will be too much for the Basque team.

Dortmund/Munich Draw at +265 for 2 units. Dortmund are only 4 points ahead of Bayern in the table, but have been playing a lot better than the League Champions. Bayern are having their worst start to a season in 7 years… and are in 3rd place in the league. Bayern won 6-0 last time these two met. Bayern will get up for this one and if they were at home, I would bet Bayern. Bayern has looked better this past week, but I still think Dortmund is the better team. I could see Dortmund controlling the first 20 minutes and going up early, just for Lewandowski to tie the game against his former club. Dortmund are hotter, but Bayern have the historical edge and arguably more talent. Cheering for a lot of goals and a draw in this one. I love Der Klassiker.

College Football – Week 11

34-25 on College Football up 6.52 units

Finally got up on college football this week after being down most of the season. Starting to see the board well. NC State smacking FSU I saw from a mile away.

West Virginia -11 for 2 units. Will Grier is a beast. TCU can’t score on the road unless they are playing Southern or SMU. TCU lost to Kansas for fuck’s sake.

Georgia Tech -3 for 3 units. This Miami team has a lot of quit in them and now they face the triple option. If GT can win the turnover battle, this covers easily. RedZone fumbles have been GT’s demise, but they avoid those today.

Duke -10 for 5 units. UNC is ass.

LSU -12 for 3 units. Arkansas doesn’t have the defense to stop LSU’s offense enough times. Also, LSU’s defense will limit the big plays after last week’s blowout loss to Alabama.

Stanford -23.5 for 2 units. Bryce Love and Reverse-Line Movement.

Florida/West Virginia/Texas A&M/Duke/Arizona State/Tulane/Georgia/LSU/Notre Dame Parlay risking 2 units to win 10.31 units. Why not have some fun?

College Basketball – November 10th

70-62-2 on NCAAB last season and went up 8.95 units

0-0 this season. All of my predictions this season will be posted on this site. Went down a lot in College Basketball last regular season, but won it all back and more in March. Going to take what I learned and apply it to this season..

Oklahoma St. -12.5 for 2 units. The Cowboys had a lot of roster turnover form last season, but Cameron McGriff and Lindy Waters are still there. Charlotte lost their last game to Chattanooga by 11 and Oklahoma St. has way more talent than them. This line should be at 17 or 18 so I will bite. Oklahoma State has won 23 straight openers. Trey Reeves was surprised with a scholarship for OSU in one of those feel good stories, but he will have to show up for this to cover. Great teams cover.

William & Mary +4 for 3 units. The Tribe won their first game against High Point by 10. This is Duquesne first game of the season. Tony Shaver is a solid coach for William & Mary. This game is a pickem so take the points.

Pepperdine -9.5 for 4 units. When it is a Tuesday night in December and you get back from the bar plastered and want to bet… Bet Pepperdine. When it is a rainy Saturday and all your college football picks lose.. Bet Pepperdine. Seriously though, this Pepperdine team is wet from 3. They shot almost 50% from behind the arc in their first game. Pepperdine has been kind to bettors for about 6 months now, let’s keep it rolling.
