Villarreal sit as favorites to take down Real Betis in LaLiga play and I frankly don't see why. We're getting a big case of "home field advantage" on these lines because Villarreal have been horrendous to start their season off. Four matches played and zero wins to show for it. They're taking on a Real Betis side who have been solid this season picking up three wins out of their four opening match. Real Betis have no fitness issues and are the better squad, they should handle this easily.

Dortmund at home are a WAGON across all competitions, but especially in Champions League play. Every time I talk about this team I push people to go watch "Yellow Wall of Dortmund" compilations. This team is terrifying to deal with in Germany. They smacked Villarreal earlier this year in a friendly 4-0, and will surely break the leaky backline that their Spanish opponents have. Look at Guirassy to smack in a goal or two as well at plus money!

Club Brugge are a team with a good amount of UCL and UEFA pedigree. The giants out of the Belgian Jupiler are known for their fast and aggressive pace when playing at home. This is a club that will smell blood in the water against an Aston Villa side who has started off the Premier League season in an embarrassing fashion. Villa are the better team but the form their in doesn't give me confidence and I expect a shootout to follow.

Last season during UCL we talked about how teams like Galatasaray are brutal to play against, and even the best teams in Europe struggle to perform on the road there. AEK are going to be one of those clubs that when they are at home, we will back them and on the road fade them. The environment is impossible to hear during the matches and this will break weaker opposition. LASK did a fine job to make it to this point overcoming Celtic, but I don't want to back them in their opening match in Athens, Greece. Expect AEK to overwhelm and win their opening UCL match.

I know that AEK are a team some people might not be fully aware of, but they do have some big name and very in form attackers in their roster. Hungarian striker Banabas Varga already has four goals in the teams opening three matches, while former Milan player Luka Jovic has picked up couple of goals as well. This is a team that will only win if they attack, because their defense does leave a lot to be desired. If you don't want the -150 juice don't be afraid to throw BTTS into this wager as well!

I have been and will continue to sing the praises of AS Roma the future winners of the Scudetto and Donyell Malen the future Capocannoniere winner. I'm going to take Roma ML against any team in Serie A except for Inter Milan if it's better than -150 odds. You can take their 1.5 TT if you prefer or Malen ATGS to get better value but this Roma team is a wagon and we need to all get on it ASAP!

I know we're only a single match into the season, but I'm going to go ahead and start slamming these overs already. Chelsea's front three of Palmer, Rodgers and Pedro are going to be DISGUSTING this season and are going to be a problem. At the same time, their defense and GK are not going to keep many clean sheets. Go ahead and add BTTS to this if you want better odds but blind betting Chelsea overs will be a trend this season.

People are scared to bet on Manchester City right now, and I understand that. They're going through a bit of a rebuild this season and are without multiple key figures like Rodri, and their manager Pep. While this team does need to find their identity, this is still a Haaland led team taking on an abysmal Crystal Palace. It might not be their usual 4-0 kind of stomping, but City are more than good enough to pick up three points and a couple goals along the way.

This is, for me, the match of the weekend. Ipswich pretty much copied Sunderland's plan that helped them find success last season. They spent over 200 million dollars of transfers and took out some big names from Ligue 1. This is a team that looks like they're not planning on just trying to survive, but to thrive in the Premier League. My hot take is they'll finish top 10 (+1500) if you're interested! But I don't see them starting their season with a loss. Draw and a push worst case!

Bay City are not a good team. Let me be very clear as I take their ML here. They have just five wins over their 17 matches, and have only scored 18 goals over those match, while conceding 24. The thing is, I don't care about them, I'm always going to fade Chicago Stars. Chicago are the worst attacking team in this league and it's not close. They only have 9 goals scored this season, while conceding a massive 33 goals. Chicago will continue to be the punching bag of NWSL, so hop on the fade train early!

I know -158 is a gross number, however, in this tool I don't have the option to add BTTS, so I'm telling y'all, add BTTS and get this bad boy down to even money. Portland are a good team playing very hot or cold football at the moment. they were just throttled 5-1 by Utah Royals, but before that fought Gotham to a 2-2 draw. While this team is struggling for consistency, their games aren't lacking goals. Boston are in good form right now with only one loss in their last five and will keep this very competitive.

I know a lot of people might be new to betting on NWSL. It is similar to MLS in the sense you're going to see very aggressive numbers in favor of the home-team regardless of the matchup. Home-field advantage means a ton in this league, which is why we're seeing lines like this. Utah is the better side, and Cloe Lacasse and Mina Tanaka in their form they're in, I expect them to break through a Denver side who has just one win in their last five, even with home-field advantage.

There's a lot of people who enjoy watching NWSL due to their pretty consistent high-scoring matches. This is a league that is loaded with World Class attacking talent and some defenses that can be streaky. Washington is one of the exceptions to this. They have only conceded 13 goals this season and are one of the two teams averaging less than one goal conceded per game alongside Gotham. Four of their last five matches have ended 1-0. This is a team that plays good defense, and doesn't run up the score often. I like the under at almost even money.

Both teams enter this matchup riding high, in good form, and with their goal-scoring boots strapped and loaded. The big differnece in this matchup is going to be home-field advantage. Gillette Stadium has been a fortress for NE Revolution this stadium, as they've only lost a single match over their 10 matches at home this season. Carles Gil and Dor Turgeman have led the charge for the Revs, and this is the kind of match you can't ignore the home form. It'll be close, but DNB shouldn't be playable here.

This is a strategic bet for me and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if this ends up being a push. This is a World Cup final between two teams that have shown they are capable of grinding this game to a stall if needed. Argentina played England incredibly close for the first 45 while Spain still boasts the best defense in the world. For me, this match is a 49-51 coin toss in Argentina's favor, so I love taking plus money on DNB for a match that I have either ending in a 1-1 draw at regulation, or 2-1 Argentina.
