Everton -118?  Opened at -130... Will they be resting some guys ahead of the home clash vs West Ham on Saturday, followed by the FA Cup match vs Chelsea?  Villa looks absolutely horrid and this sucker price tag is too good to pass up.

Chelsea at Norwich... also taking the bait.

Staying away from the Leicester game although I think they have too much fire power for WBA.

I am showing Everton -1/2 at -140. At first I really liked Villa at home at +1/2 +115 and it is starting to get cruch time for Villa if they want to stay up. This game I am going to pass on as to me it's a toss up because Villa at +1/2 at home is hard to ignore but I believe it would be a sucker game...So it's a coin toss and I'll pass.

I like Leicester at -1 +115 at home v WBA. While WBA has been playing very well lately considering the rash of injuries I feel WBA might implode this gaem. Just a hunch but maybe toss a 100 chicken bone on a hunch. Nothing to much and a bonus if it works out.

Norwich is also do or die to stay up. At +1 at home v Chelsea at -130 is a game I will pass on. Chelsea I believe has not lost with Guus in charge. I could see a draw but again I'll pass on this one. Mid week games are a bit tougher to predict.

How Sunderland / Palace game is EVEN is beyond me. Palace is completely collapsing and not playing well at all. Sunderland is in do or die mode and Big Sam usually gets things done under the gun. I would toss 200 wings on Sunderland at Home but could see a draw in this one so a push would work for me also.

Southampton and Bournemouth is also a PICK EM. I am going to pick a draw at +210 with another 100 bones on it.

Arsenal title hopes hinges on todays result... expecting a Tottenham DRAW.   The line has gone from -270 to -305 and will continue to rise.  I'm taking the bait and will be nervous all day.

I'd hope that Wenger starts Elneny instead of Ramsey...

..........Coquelin...Elneny.........

Southampton and Bournemouth is also a PICK EM. I am going to pick a draw at +210 with another 100 bones on it.

Everton opened at -130, dropped to -118 and -110...   Then jumped to -140 (where I ended up getting it) and closed at -160.

Chelsea opened at -140 and closed at -150.  I also took the Leicester draw at +230...

Lost a good chunk of my groceries on Southampton PK -120 over Bournemouth... just a bad bad call on my part.


I like WHU +0.5 +115 over Spurs today and I'll take my chances with Stoke +100 at home over Newcastle.   United B team should struggle vs Watford and I think the -170 price tag is too high (and the line continues to rise).

I see a couple people were caught out by the fact there were Tuesday games this week
