I'm backing Crystal Palace or Chelsea to win the FA Cup...

with the other big clubs focused elsewhere, Palace will capitalize on this chance... Chelsea hasn't lost under Hiddink and top 4 is likely out of the question at this point...

If I remember correctly you didn't have Chelsea up there on Saturday. I am assuming you were waiting on the Sunday result.

Chelsea is going to have it tough with Man City in the 5th round. The only good thing is that Man City play a Champions League Round of 16 match 4 days later. Could we see Man City rest or will they be attempting to go for the Triple(EPL, Champions, FA)?

Crystal Palace also got a tough draw with Tottenham but it might be in Crystal's favor. I see Tottenham resting players as they play Europa league 2 days prior and then the second leg 5 days later(all depends on the result of the first leg though).

My pick is Watford. If Chelsea wins against Man City then they would be my second selection if I am allowed two.

Correct. I didn't have Chelsea up there... Omission on my behalf. I loaded up on Chelsea -1.5 -143 and -354 Sunday, plus several live props.

After seeing the draw, you'd think I'd stay away from this club, but what else are they playing for this season? I don't think they'll get by PSG, so that leaves the FA Cup as the only hardware possible. Judging by the lineup they put out vs MK Dons you can see they mean business. Huge advantage for Chelsea having the home fixture and Man City having the closed door game in Ukraine a few days later. Add the fact that City has been horrid on the road...

PSG vs Chelsea on the 14th should be some free money coming in... I'm thinking PSG will be -120 for the Win.... I'm hoping for a PK option and not -.5.

Watford was sitting at close to 60/1 early January... now around 28/1

A friend of mine has futures on the following:
Watford +5800 (now+2800)
WBA +6300 (now +5000)
Bournemouth 7500 (now +3300)

He's got some excellent draws for his teams with the option of hedging later on...

UCL
Just my guesses here:
PSG -120
Chelsea +450
Draw +275
I'll take PSG for the WIN

Arsenal +350
Draw +275
Barca - 110
I'll take the value in the DRAW

Roma +275
Draw +250
Real Madrid -105
Real Madrid for the WIN

Juventus + 275
Draw +250
Bayern -105
I'll take the DRAW

Dynamo Kiev +275
Draw +250
Man City +105
Man City for the WIN (although a DRAW seems like good value considering Man City on the road).

Strong week, Off Pitch!

WEEK 25

Man City 3 - Leicester 1 GOW ---Leicester won't be able to sit in and stop Man City pressure.
Aston Villa 1 - Norwich 2 ---Almost want to back Villa for a DRAW or WIN, but siding with Norwich
Liverpool 3 - Sunderland 1 ---Sunderland on the road, do not see them stealing a point here. High scoring affair.
Newcastle 1 - West Brom 1 ---Boring game... 0-0, 1-1 take your pick.
Stoke 1 - Everton 2 ---Probably the toughest game on the card to pick
Swansea 1 - Crystal Palace 2 ---Palace steals 3 points.
Spurs 2 - Watford 0 ---Spurs on fire and don't see Watford putting out the flames.
Southampton 1 - West Ham 1 ---Will be a tough test for WHU, but So'ton will try to go forward and it should open up.
Bournemouth 1 - Arsenal 3 ---Much needed 3 points for the Gunners here.
Chelsea 1 - Man U 0 ---Chelsea still have not lost under Hiddink... I don't see it here. 1-0 or 1-1/0-0.
