I like West Ham to get the win, but this Wolves side is playing free under Rob Edwards right now. They’ve been crushing set pieces, and West Ham haven’t been great at defending them. That gives Wolves a real chance to get on the board, maybe even twice. If West Ham are going to win this match, they’ll likely need to score at least two themselves. That gives us a real opportunity to have a winner in this match.
So here is what I'd like to do: CBS give me a few days and I'll come up with a relegation pattern story and theoretical odds for all the major USA leagues. I have some in mind. Never, ever happen because just too much money tied up in TV contracts and it's not like the NFL or NBA teams have anywhere to be relegated to. This EPL game is like Wizards-Jazz in the NBA but one major difference: West Ham still can avoid being sent to Topeka or whatever the Topeka version (sorry Topekans) of England is. Wolves are getting Das Boot regardless. So I guess they can play with reckless abandon but will take our chances.
West Ham. It's go time. No more sitting back, no more playing for cagey draws, no more trying to sneak away with a single point. You are playing the worst team in the Premier League, and are sitting 18th on the table, in a relegation spot. Every single point from now till the end of the season could spell the difference between dropping to Championship play or staying in the Premier League. I expect West Ham to press because man their defense stinks. They'll need multiple goals to get all three points against a free-flowing Wolves side. Give me the over 2.5 goals, and I'd sprinkle over 3.5 as well!
