Rotation #201901: Spanish La Liga: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 3 -130 in Barcelona vs Sevilla @ 3 ET - Sevilla off a huge 5-1 win and carries plenty of confidence into this match-up. I do look for them to make the net ripple here but their struggles against Barcelona are well-documented. Also, Barcelona is going to be ruthless here as they are angry off a 2-2 draw in which they let a lead slip away. So, that being said, I am looking for plenty of scoring in this one on the basis of a dangerous road dog playing with confidence but an angry home favorite that will be relentless on the attack. 10* OVER 3 -130 in Barcelona 

Rotation #206933: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -125 in Otelul Galati vs Dinamo Bucuresti @ 2 ET - Otelul Galati is off their first win of the season but now watch them fall flat here against a hungry Dinamo Bucuresti club. Galati has scored 2 goals in 3 of last 4 matches but also has allowed 2 goals in B2B matches before rare B2B clean sheets. They have been a scrappy club but now look to build off that win and I believe they will emphasize the same attacking style that has helped lead to 2 goals scored for them in 3 of last 4. As for Dinamo, they are desperate to get going this season and have allowed an average of 2 goals per match on the season. They will struggle again to stop Galati here but I do expect them to get their attack going in in this one. All 4 of their road matches have totaled at least 2 goals this season and actually have averaged 3.5 goals apiece. Also, they had scored 1.7 goals per match in the first 3 on the road before being delivered a clean sheet in their most recent match on enemy pitch. They bounce back on the attack here but Galati scores as well at home and I love the value of the over 2 here and expect at least that but banking on 3 or more in this one. 10* OVER 2 -125 in Otelul Galati

Rotation #201849: Spanish La Liga: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Granada vs Real Betis @ 1 ET - I like spots like this where the home club is the lesser team. Generally speaking they will put up a fight on their home pitch but also struggle to stop the opposition. This looks like another one of those situations. Granada is near the very bottom of the La Liga table but is scoring an average of 1.5 goals per match. The issue for them is they are also allowing 3 goals per match. Real Betis is a solid club but has allowed 10 goals in 3 road matches this season. Neither club is happy with their overall performance so far this season and so both will be pushing hard for solid results this week. I expect each club to find the back of the net and note that Granada has not had a draw in any of its 6 matches this season and Real Betis has not had a draw in any of its 3 road matches this season. We should see at least a 2-1 final here the way I forecast this one to play out. 10* OVER 2.5 in Granada

Rotation #201229: Italian Serie A: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Frosinone vs Fiorentina @ 12:30 ET - Frosinone on home pitch and the average score of their 3 home matches in league action thus far is 2-2 and there is certainly nothing average about that. They will put up fight here as a host in this one but they will not be able to stop Fiorentina either. Home and away it has not mattered for Fiorentina as they are both scoring an average of 2 goals per match plus conceding 2 goals per match. In 3 matches away, Fiorentina does not yet have a draw and in 3 matches at home Frosinone does not have a draw so there is an extra comfort level here that we see at least a 2-1 final here. Odds are both clubs score - and you can see why per the above - and odds are there is no draw so these factors lend themselves to a 2-1 final at the very least here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Frosinone

Rotation #200661: EFL Cup | Third Round: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -135 in Newcastle United vs Manchester City @ 3 ET - This total opened at a 3 and has dropped to a 2.5 in most spots and I am well aware some of the stars may play less here or may not play at all. That's because the EFL Cup truly does not take precedence over the current task at hand which is the English Premier League season. However, even with consideration to this, I feel this total is absolutely a bargain. I do not foresee either club being shutout nor do I foresee either club settling for a draw. So you should be looking at least a 2-1 final here. Keep in mind, I just got burned by Manchester City when I had the over this past week and it was 2-0 after 14 minutes but never got a 3rd goal. A key issue there was a red card right away in the 2nd half for Man City and that completely changed the complexion of the match. I look for City to now be relentless here no matter which personnel are on the pitch. Also note that Newcastle United is coming off an 8-0 thrashing in EPL action and 8 different players scored! Again, this is another reason to like the over here no matter who is on the pitch as the hosts are rolling with confidence after all those guys found the back of the net over the weekend while, of course, the juggernaut that is Man City certainly will play with plenty of attack in them as well for this one. The last two meetings here at St James' Park have totaled 4 and 5 goals, respectively. More of the same on tap here! 10* OVER 2.5 -135 in Newcastle United

Rotation #201205: Italian Serie A: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +105 in Cagliari vs AC Milan @ 12:30 ET - The money line on this match looks funny to me as AC Milan is a smaller favorite than expected. I feel this is telling though. The fact is Cagliari has scored only 1 goal in its first five matches this season but they are at home and I feel the odds makers are telling us a little something with this money line! That said, I like the over here. Cagliari is going to put more emphasis on the attack here and they should find the back of the net at least once as they draw a little added confidence from being on their home pitch. Perhaps AC Milan will underestimate them too on their travels as they are allowing 2 goals per match away from home this season. However, AC Milan is also scoring an average of 2 goals per match overall this season in league matches. That said, I am looking for AC Milan to come storming back even if they do get down and, either way, looking for at least a 2-1 final here. Cagliari is known for low-scoring matches but they know they need to get their attack going as they are languishing near the bottom of the table. They are a newly promoted club and I look for AC Milan to look to flex their muscles a bit against them in this one and they may pile up some big scoring opportunities. Look for them to cash in on a few of them along the way! 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in Cagliari

Rotation #200625: EFL Cup | Third Round: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -130 in Manchester United vs Crystal Palace @ 3 ET - This Manchester United club is much better than they have shown thus far this season in league action. I look for them to build off their 1-0 win over Burnley and now carry some momentum right into this EFL Cup battle. However, Crystal Palace is off a scoreless draw and will be more aggressive on the attack here after that disappointing result against Fulham. The last time Palace was on the road it was a 3-1 final in league action. Also, the last time they were on the road at Man U it was a 2-1 final. The last 3 matches between these clubs have averaged 3 goals and I am looking for another entertaining match here as Man U is going to be aggressive and look to really get rolling after that much needed win over the weekend. The thing is Crystal Palace can threaten them at the back as they have some extra confidence from scoring an average of 1.4 goals in their last 5 visits here. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here given all of the above. Crystal Palace should make the net ripple at least once but, of course, the hosts are a large favorite here for a reason! 10* OVER 2.5 -130 in Manchester United

Rotation #201869: Spanish La Liga: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -135 in Sevilla vs Almeria @ 1 ET - This Sevilla club is much better than they have shown thus far this season and the had scored 1.5 goals per match in their first 4 league matches before a scoreless draw in their most recent match. Sevilla will bounce back strong here at home for this one but don't be surprised if Almeria also makes the net ripple in what should be a highly entertaining match. Almeria has both scored and conceded in 5 straight matches in league action and those averaged 3.6 goals apiece. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here given all of the above. 10* OVER 2.5 -135 in Sevilla

Rotation #206893: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +115 in Rapid Bucuresti vs CFR Cluj @ 2 ET - CFR Cluj off a 1-0 win and Rapid coming off a 0-0 draw in Galati. Rapid and CFR Cluj are two of the better clubs in the league and, after matches like that last week, goals will be the story here in this week's match-up! Remember that CFR Cluj had won the week prior by a 4-1 count and that was on the road and Rapid had won the week prior by a 4-0 count! With CFR Cluj on the road again and Rapid hosting here in Bucuresti, those high-scoring ways will resume. Both clubs are scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. CFR Cluj has just 1 draw in 8 matches. That is another key as to why I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here. Each club will score at least one goal and the match will not end in a draw. The odds, and situation, favor all this in this one for Monday. 10* OVER 2.5 +115 in Rapid Bucuresti

Rotation #206889: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in Sepsi vs FCSB @ 2 ET - FCSB had the make-up match with Hermanndstadt on Thursday. Having a short time to prepare for this, look for some tired legs on defense and Sepsi will want to take full advantage on their home pitch and will be on the attack. However, FCSB is fired up about blowing a the lead in the 2-2 draw with Hermannstadt and a 2nd half red card did not help matters. This total is posted at 2.5 for a reason on this match and even at more than 2 this a great value considering 3 of last 4 Sepsi matches have totaled at least 3 goals! Also, each of the last two meetings between these clubs have totaled 3 goals. FSCB is at the top of the table and scoring an average of 2 goals per match. FCSB ahs seen 4 of its last 5 matches total at least 3 goals and I like the fact the #1 club in the league is hungry but on the road and could continue having trouble with conceding goals but will also be strong on the attack. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here as expecting both clubs to make the net ripple and then note that Thursday's draw was the first for FCSB this season. The odds of B2B draws is slim to say the least! 10* OVER 2.5 +120 in Sepsi

Rotation #200077: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -130 in Sheffield United vs Newcastle United @ 11:30 AM ET - First off, I like the fact this total opened up at mostly 3 and then plenty of 2.5 became available. I am happy to fade the market move and take advantage of the line value as I fully expect 3 or more goals. Sheffield has both scored and conceded in 4 straight matches in EPL action and all 4 of those totaled at least 3 goals. I also like the fact that Sheffield is at home for this one as well. They come in ready to battle and should score again but I believe Newcastle will be very aggressive here. Since a 5-1 beating of Aston Villa that opened up the season, Newcastle is actually just 1-3 last 4 matches and they scored only 1 goal in that lone win. So now here is a chance to flex their muscles against a weaker foe and they know they must be aggressive here on the road. This should lead to at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2.5 -130 in Sheffield United

Rotation #206897: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -125 in Petrolul Ploiesti vs Hermannstadt @ 11:15 AM ET - Hermanndstadt had the make-up match with FCSB on Thursday. Having a short time to prepare for this, look for some tired legs on defense and Petrolul Ploiesti will want to take full advantage. However, Hermannstadt has been scoring well and will battle back here and the value in an over 2 in Romania matches is huge. That is the total posted on this match and is a great value considering 4 straight Hermannstadt matches have totaled 4 goals! Petrolul Ploiesti is off a 1-0 road loss but their last 3 home matches have all totaled at least 4 goals and have actually averaged 5 goals apiece. So the over is 3-0 in last 3 Petrolul Ploiesti matches as a host and 4-0 in last 4 Hermannstadt matches overall. I am happy to test those double perfect runs here. 10* OVER 2 -125 in Petrolul Ploiesti

Rotation #200061: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 -130 in Arsenal vs Tottenham @ 9 AM ET - Arsenal is scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. Tottenham is also playing a much more aggressive style this season and they are scoring very well including scoring an average of 3 goals per match in their 3 road matches this season. The last two times these clubs met here, Arsenal won each match 3-1. I am again expecting 4 goals in this one as 3 of last 4 Arsenal matches across all competitions have totaled at least 4 goals. With the attacking style that Tottenham is playing, do not be surprised if we see a 2-2 draw here and, either way, I do like this one to get to 4 goals. 10* OVER 3 -130 in Arsenal

Rotation #206909: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -110 in Universitatea Cluj vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - Each club is scoring an average of 1.5 goals per match and I am expecting 3 goals here. Universitatea Cluj is off a 1-0 road win but lost their most recent home match in shutout fashion. This was highly unusual for them as their two matches prior to that had combined for 11 goals. The high-scoring ways resume here as you know the hosts will respond after an embarrassing home shutout loss their last time here. They will have their hands full stopping this Universitatea Craiova outfit however. They are near the top of the table in the league and they will take advantage of a Universitatea Cluj club that is allowing 2 goals per match.  Universitatea Craiova has been shutout in their last two road matches so you know what their focus will be here. Attack, attack, attack...and then attack some more! These visitors have allowed an average of 2 goals per match their last 3 matches so don't be surprised if, given all the variables here, we see a 2-2 match. Either way, I see this one getting to 3 or more goals. 10* OVER 2.5 -110 in Universitatea Cluj

Rotation #200053: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -115 in Brentford vs Everton @ 12:30 ET - Both teams off 1-0 losses last week you know what is coming this week...an emphasis on attacking and scoring some goals! Brentford normally attacks well and scores well. Everton has only 2 goals this season but those came in their 2 road matches. Brentford was averaging 2 goals scored per match before being shutout last week. Also, the Bees are winless at home with 3 draws so they will push hard for the full 3 points in the table here and I am anticipating a 2-1 type final as a result. Keep in mind Brentford has allowed at least 1 goal in 4 straight games. The loss last week for Brentford was their first league loss since May so they will be ready to bounce back strong here! They have scored at least 1 goal in 16 straight home matches in league action as well! I like Brentford to score well at home here but I also like Everton to take advantage of some injury concerns for the Bees at the backline. That said, look for more scoring than most are expecting here after last week's 1-0 matches! 10* OVER 2.5 in Brentford

Rotation #206905: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -130 in FC Botosani vs UTA @ 11:45 AM ET - Yesterday, Galati got their first win of the season and this looks like a great spot for the only other club (Botosani) that is still without a victory to get their first of the new campaign. That said, Botosani will be more aggressive on the attack knowing this UTA club is just above them in the standings and this is a winnable match for the hosts. However, the visitors certainly viewing this one the same way as they face the last-place club in the league. The result here will be an aggressive approach from each club in terms of attacking. Note that the last 3 meetings between these clubs have averaged 3 goals apiece and all of them had multiple goals and there is a lot of value here with this total set at a 2. As for Botosani, 2 of their last 3 matches have totaled 4 goals and all of them have totaled at least 2 goals. UTA is much better club than their record shows and they will take advantage of facing a lesser foe to get their goal-scoring going again. 10* OVER 2 -130 in FC Botosani

Rotation #200049: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3 -130 in Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest @ 10 AM ET - Looks like Jack Grealish could be available for this one for City but, either way, I am expecting plenty of scoring. Manchester City has won 12 straight Premier League home matches in 2023 and have scored an average of 3 goals per match in these victories. City has conceded at least 1 goal in 4 straight matches so I do expect Nottingham Forest to make the net ripple at least once. Note that Forest has faced a tough slate of matches early this season yet they are averaging 1.4 goals scored per match. City is a powerhouse though, in particular at home, and they get the big win here and I am looking for a 3-1 type match here. 10* OVER 3 -130 in Manchester City

Rotation #206901: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -105 in Dinamo Bucuresti vs Farul Constanta @ 2 ET - First off when playing an over 2.5 you want to look at draw rates. If a match gets to 1-1 will it end like that or does it have strong odds on getting to at least 2-1? In this case, note that Farul has had NO draws in 8 matches this season. Also, their matches have averaged 3 goals apiece. Dinamo has had some trouble scoring goals this season but they will take advantage of what has been a troubled backline for Farul. Also, the fact Dinamo gets this match at home will also help in the goal-scoring department. They should make the net ripple at least once but they are a dog here for a reason and Farul likely to give them a lot of trouble. Dinamo allowing an average of 2 goals per match and Farul is as well. That is why I am forecasting the winning team to have at least 2 goals and the loser should get on the board as well as you can see with these poor goals-conceded numbers. Farul and Dinamo will both be on the attack here as they are fired up after recent poor performances in the goal-scoring department. They each know they can take advantage of weaker backline play that has been on display for both these clubs so far this season. Look for a wild and entertaining one at Stadionul Arcul de Triumf in Bucuresti on Friday night as these city is passionate about this club and now the defending champs are in town! 10* OVER 2.5 -105 in Dinamo Bucuresti

Rotation #206917: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -150 in FCU Craiova 1948 vs Otelul Galati @ 11 AM ET - You can also take over 2.5 goals here at plus money but I would recommend taking 2 goals even at high juice as it is a key number in Romanian Soccer. However, I will say that of course I am expecting 3 or more goals or I would not be making this bet! That said, Galati have been the draw specialists this season as they have had 8 draws in 9 matches. That would lead one to believe a 1-1 draw is a possibility for sure. However, FCU Craiova 1948 has been at the other end of the spectrum with 0 draws in 9 matches! Also, while Galati matches have averaged just 2 goals apiece, FCU Craiova 1948 matches have averaged 4 goals apiece. That is the highest average in the league and they will be pushing hard at home here for a win as they also have a new head coach as they welcome back Paul Raducan. There is going to be strong effort from the home club but I don't see the visitors going away without a fight either. Before last week's scoreless draw, they had scored at least 1 goal in 4 of last 5 matches. Looking for a 2-1 final here at the very least as the hosts will play a relentless style here and be on the attack early and often. 10* OVER 2 -150 in FCU Craiova 1948

Rotation #206929: Romania Liga 1: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +110 in Hermannstadt vs FCSB @ 1 ET - Hermannstadt is sure to put up a fight here at home and FCSB is rotating in some of their personnel for this one because of a shorter than usual rest cycle due to this being a rescheduled match from earlier in the season. Both these clubs will be playing again later this weekend. That said, I do look for Hermannstadt to get on the board here with making the net ripple at least once but of course FCSB is favored for a reason. Also note that FCSB is currently at the very top of the table for the 16-club league and they have not had a draw yet this season. So if each team scores and a draw is unlikely, that puts this one at least 2-1. FCSB is scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season and has scored in all 8 of their matches! Hermannstadt has both scored and conceded in 4 straight matches and in 6 of last 7. Those 6 matches have averged 3.5 goals apiece. Each of Hermannstadt's last 3 matches have totaled 4 goals! Having scored 7 goals in their last 3 matches at home, they have plenty of confidence here. 10* OVER 2.5 +110 in Hermannstadt

Rotation #224417: Europa League | Group Stage: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 +115 in LASK vs Liverpool @ 12:45 ET - Having narrowly missed out on Champions League Football for this season, Liverpool will come to this competition ready to impose their will. They are currently in top form and that means even if they mix in some other personnel in this one they will be too much for this Austrian opponent. LASK, however, is at home and playing with confidence as they are off to a strong start in their league. They also have scored 2 goals in 4 straight matches as a host. However, Liverpool also has plenty of attacking prowess and also has the talent edge here. That said, I am looking for a 3-1 type match here. The Reds are just too strong but have been a bit leaky at the back and you know LASK is going to play aggressive on their home pitch and look to attack that weakness. That said, a 3-2 final would also not completely shock me. Either way, plenty of goals in what should be a highly entertaining affair here in this one. 10* OVER 3.5 +115 in LASK

Rotation #224245: Champions League | Group Stage: Wednesday 10* OVER 3.5 +100 in Bayern Munich vs Manchester United @ 3 ET - Bayern Munich now has Harry Kane and the former Tottenham man facing Man United adds a little extra intrigue to this one. The thing is Bayern Munich has been fantastic early this season in Bundesliga action and I look for that to carry over here as Man U is having majors issues defensively and missing some players. This Man United club still has some attacking firepower though too and they should enjoy scoring success here but their struggles in the goals-conceded department will continue against this Bundesliga powerhouse. Bayern Munich has scored 2.7 goals last 4 matches but allowed 7 goals last 5 matches across all competitions. Man United has allowed 10 goals in last 4 matches and their leaky backline is a major concern here but, again, they have some striking prowess at front and the hosts in this one certainly have a knack for conceding goals when facing solid competition. This one should turn into an entertaining, high-scoring affair. 10* OVER 3.5 +100 in Bayern Munich

Rotation #224233: Champions League | Group Stage: Wednesday 10* OVER 3 +120 in Real Madrid vs Union Berlin @ 12:45 ET - The fact you are seeing over 3 on this one at plus money is no accident. In my opinion this is encouragement from the books to lay that big price on the other side of this one, the under, because some of the sharper books are thinking this one gets to 4 or more goals. I am right there with them on that theory and we have great line value here when you consider getting to 3 goals would still be a push but we have that solid shot at nice plus money with 4 or more goals. Note that Real Madrid has scored 10 goals in last 5 matches but also allowed 9 goals in last 7 matches. Union Berlin has seen 7 of last 8 matches total at least 3 goals and those 7 matches averaged 4.6 goals apiece and there certainly is nothing average about that. Look for another wild one here. 10* OVER 3 +120 in Real Madrid 

Rotation #224225: Champions League, Group Stage: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 4 in Manchester City vs Crvena Zvezda @ 3 ET - Crvena Zvezda is also referred to as Red Star Belgrade and this club from Serbia is in deep trouble here as you can tell from the goal line of -3 goals in favor of Manchester City in this one. I look for City to be relentless here but Crvena Zvezda should be able to find the back of the net once and make this a 4-1 type final the way I see it. Crvena Zvezda is off a 2-1 loss to Cukaricki in Serbia League action while City just hammered West Ham United 3-1 over the weekend. For Manchester City, this followed a 5-1 win over Fulham and City has now scored an average of 3.3 goals per match last 3 matches. City is defending their Champions League crown now and I look for them to right away make a statement here in the opening match. Crvena Zvezda has allowed 2 goals per match last 3 matches in league action and they take a major step up in level of competition here so don't be surprised if they allow 4 goals in this one. Crvena Zvezda has been scoring goals all season long in their league and, though they will have major defensive shortcomings exposed in this match, they are capable of netting a goal and that will help push this one over the total. 10* OVER 4 in Manchester City

Rotation #224201: Champions League, Group Stage: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in AC Milan vs Newcastle United @ 12:45 ET - Newcastle is off a 1-0 win versus Brentford but anyone who watched the match knows there should have been a lot more scoring. Also, this Newcastle backline has had some inconsistencies this season and I am sure AC Milan will take advantage here after they just got hammered 5-1 by Inter Milan and they can not wait to get back on the pitch and make amends for that. AC Milan has seen their last 5 matches average 4.4 goals apiece. Newcastle certainly has some striking power and will look to take advantage of an AC Milan backline that has played a role in conceding 1.8 goals per match last 5 matches. Newcastle has seen their last 10 matches average 3.2 goals per match and I expect more of the same here. Prior to the 1-0 win over the Bees, Newcastle had seen 6 of last 9 matches total at least 3 goals and AC Milan has had 4 of last 5 matches total at least 3 goals. This one will too. 10* OVER 2.5 in AC Milan

Rotation #200037: English Premier League: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -105 in Nottingham Forest vs Burnley @ 2:45 ET - Traditionally this type of system has worked well. These clubs met in non-league action, in the English Carabao Cup, just a few weeks ago and Burnley won 1 to 0. The set up here is now you have them meeting in League action and Nottingham Forest is hosting and they are the revenging club. This will result in a match that plays out in much different fashion than the 1-0 Cup battle these clubs just had. Note that Burnley has allowed at least 3 goals in EACH of their first 3 matches this EPL season! As for Nottingham Forest, they are off a 1-0 surprising win over Chelsea but each of their 3 matches in League action prior to this saw them both score and concede! All 3 matches totaled at least 3 goals and this one will too! Burnley is off to a rough start in the league this season but views this as a winnable match based on the English Carabao Cup success as well as the fact Nottingham Forest is certainly no powerhouse! That said, I do look for Burnley to get on the board here but also expect this to turn into a back and forth battle as Forest has been playing with confidence as it at home. They have already scored well in league action including 5 goals last 3 matches. 10* OVER 2.5 -105 in Nottingham Forest

Rotation #206865: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -105 in CFR Cluj vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 2:30 ET - This is a great spot for an over as CFR Cluj is rolling and riding high after a 4-1 road win and they have been one of the strongest clubs in the league again this season. They enter this match averaging 2.4 goals per match this season and they have the highest scoring average in the league. Petrolul Ploiesti is off a 2-2 draw with Otelul Galati and, if they gave up 2 goals to Galati, they are really in trouble here defensively! The fact is CFR Cluj is favored by 1.5 goals on the goal line for a reason here and I am anticipating a 3-1 type match here and a rather easy over. The matches for Petrolul Ploiesti have averaged 3 goals apiece. CFR Cluj is allowing an average of 1 goal per match this season so asking for 3 goals here is really not asking for too much. The last time these clubs met it was a 5-2 CFR Cluj win! They do have injury to a key player who is a right-back player so his defense is important and that hurts the hosts defensively here. 10* OVER 2.5 -105 in CFR Cluj

Rotation #206861: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -130 in Poli Iasi vs FC Botosani @ 11:30 AM ET - The hosts are off a win and so confidence is up but Poli Iasi has not had a draw in any of their 7 matches this season. I am looking for a 2-1 final because I do look for each club to score and the odds favor that there is no draw here. Poli Iasi matches have averaged 3 goals apiece and they will score again here after netting 2 on the road at Universitatea Cluj. At the same time, this is a newly promoted club allowing an average of about 2 goals per match this season. FC Botosani is off a 2-2 draw and is at the bottom of the league table, just below Poli Iasi, so this is an important match for the visitors. They are one of only two clubs, Otelul Galati is the other, that do not have a win yet this season as they are 0-4-4. I don't foresee a draw here however and I do expect FC Botosani to again struggle to stop opponents from scoring. They are allowing an average of 1.5 goals per match this season. This one has 2-1 written all over it as the hosts come in confident but the visitors really needed the off week last weekend and they come in rejuvenated and ready to put up a fight here. 10* OVER 2 -130 in Poli Iasi

Rotation #206869: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -150 in Otelul Galati vs Rapid Bucuresti @ 12:15 ET - This match is in Galati.  Could Rapid be flat after their huge win in Bucuresti by a 4-0 count over city rivals Dinamo? I do believe that to be the case and this could allow Otelul to get the jump in this one. However, Rapid is the favorite for a reason and that is why I am anticipating at least a 2-1 final here. Note that Galati has been king of the draws this season but their scoring is trending upward also and their last two matches have each ended as 2-2 draws. As for Rapid, their last 7 matches have featured 6 totaling at least 3 goals and these 7 matches have averaged 4 goals apiece. Also, their last 6 road matches have all totaled at least 3 goals and so we are testing a 6-0 trend here and those 6 matches have averaged 5.5 goals apiece! 10* OVER 2 -150 in Otelul Galati

Rotation #200033: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Everton vs Arsenal @ 11:30 AM ET - Well aware of Everton's struggles in the goal-scoring department this season but do you think the odds makers are unaware? Of course they are aware and yet they set this total at a 3 for a reason! That said, and now that we are seeing some 2.5 out there as well, I love latching onto the value in this one! Note that Everton always seems to give Arsenal some trouble when they are hosting them and they do catch them off the big win over Manchester United. That said, I do expect Everton to find the back of the net at least once but, of course, Arsenal is the stronger overall club and is favored here for a reason. That is why I am looking for at least a 2-1 final but expecting much more. Note that 3 of Everton's last 4 matches, including one in English Carabao Cup action, have totaled at least 3 goals and 2 of those 3 totaled 4 goals! As for Arsenal, 3 of their last 4 matches have totaled at least 3 goals and their last 2 have totaled 4 goals and all these matches were in EPL action! Arsenal has scored 11 goals in last 4 matches with Everton but the latter have totaled 3 goals in the last two matches as a host. This game will play out with much more attacking and scoring opportunities than many are expecting. That said, take advantage of the line value here! 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Everton

Rotation #206877: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -145 in Hermannstadt vs Voluntari @ 10 AM ET - Getting an over 2, even at extra juice, is well worth it here. 2 goals is, of course, a key number in soccer totals and now take a look at these two clubs. Hermannstadt is at home and off 3 straight draws. The hosts are very hungry for a victory and the draws were 2-2, 2-2 and 1-1. An average of 3.3 goals per match and more of the same here. Voluntari has had 11 straight matches total at least 2 goals and their last 5 have totaled 3 or more so we are testing a 5-0 trend here by going with the over in this one. Note that those 11 matches averaged 4 goals apiece and these past 5 matches have averaged 4.2 goals apiece. This is an excellent value here. The last 3 meetings between these clubs have also all totaled 2 or more goals and averaged 2.7 goals apiece. 10* OVER 2 -145 in Hermanndstadt

Rotation #200029: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Bournemouth vs Chelsea @ 9 AM ET - Bournemouth trying to be more aggressive on the attack this season and they should be able to get one past Chelsea here. However, the visitors are desperate to get going again as they have disappointed early this season despite all their firepower. Chelsea will be very aggressive on the attack here and they have scored at least 2 goals in each of last 4 meetings with Bournemouth. Those matches have seen 3 of the 4 total at least 3 goals and more of the same expected here. Chelsea is off a 1-0 loss but had won 2 straight and scored 5 goals in their two prior matches including one in English Carabao Cup action. 3 of Bournemouth's last 4 matches, including one in English Carabao Cup action, have totaled at least 4 goals and that is what I am expecting here as well. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Bournemouth

Rotation #206881: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -105 in Universitatea Craiova vs Sepsi @ 2:30 ET - 3 of last 4 Universitatea Craiova matches have totaled at least 3 goals and these 4 matches have averaged 3.3 goals apiece. Sepsi is off a 1-0 win but this was preceded by 3 straight matches - across all competitions - in which they both scored and conceded a goal. Those 3 matches averaged 3.7 goals apiece and we will see more of the same here. There is a reason this one is priced at 2.5 goals even though Universitatea Craiova is off a shutout loss and Sepsi is off a shutout win. 10* OVER 2.5 in Universitatea Craiova

Rotation #200025: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Newcastle United vs Brentford Bees @ 12:30 ET - This is a great situation for expecting plenty of goals! Newcastle is fired up and at home where they tend to score very well. Brentford is a tough foe that score well anywhere and will not be intimidated in this one and will not back down. Newcastle began this season with a 5-1 drubbing of Aston Villa but have since lost 3 straight. While a 1-0 loss to Man City was understandable, a 2-1 loss to 10-man Liverpool was not. Then Newcastle was unable to shake off that unimaginable loss and got hammered 3-1 by Brighton & Hove in their next match. That is why, after a much-needed week off as well, Newcastle will be at their best here. However, Brentford has scored an average of 2 goals in their 4 league matches this season and we'll see goals here. The last 4 meetings between these clubs have averaged 4 goals apiece. I expect the same here given the situation here and the hunger of the hosts and the solid attacking capabilities of the visitors in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Newcastle United 

Rotation #200021: English Premier League: Saturday 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in West Ham United vs Manchester City @ 10 AM ET - Both clubs are off to strong starts this season and have a lot of attacking confidence. Even though Manchester City is without Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish right now, they still have plenty of attacking talent including Erling Haaland of course. West Ham is scoring an average of 2.3 goals per match this season in EPL action while Manchester City is scoring an average of 2.8 goals per match this season in league action. Each of the last 3 West Ham United matches have totaled at least 3 goals. As for Manchester City, 3 of last 4 EPL matches have totaled at least 3 goals and that includes a huge 5-1 win in their most recent match in league action. 3 of the last 4 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals and Manchester City has scored at least 2 goals in all 4 of those. I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here but expecting much more as City will be tough to stop but their attacking style will also make West Ham dangerous on the counter-attack. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in West Ham United

Rotation #206873: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Dinamo Bucuresti vs FCU 1948 Craiova @ 2:30 ET - Dinamo is off a 4-0 loss and FCU 1948 Craiova is off a 4-0 win. Back at home, Dinamo will score better here but their defensive play and netminding continues to struggle and they will not be able to stop FCU 1948 Craiova in this one. The goals have really been flying in  FCU 1948 Craiova. No club in the league has scored more (18) OR conceded more (18) than this club. Indeed the average goals scored in FCU 1948 Craiova matches this season is 4.5 and that is a crazy number. Each of their last 4 matches have totaled at least 4 goals! As for Dinamo, 2 of their last 3 matches have totaled at least 4 goals. Also, Dinamo had averaged scoring 1.5 goals and scored in all 4 matches in a 4-match stretch preceding that 4-0 loss in their most recent match. They will bounce back here but they will struggle to slow down the current goal-scoring matching that is FCU 1948 Craiova. 10* OVER 2.5 in Dinamo Bucuresti

Rotation #206857: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -140 in UTA vs Universitatea Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - UTA gets their manager back on the sidelines for this after he suffered a heart attack 3 weeks ago. The players will go all out for him here I am sure. At the same time, the visitors (Universitatea Cluj) are very hungry for a win and will be pushing hard here. They also recently welcomed back their manager as he had left the team after last season due to health concerns and needing some time away. He could not stay away however and wanted to get back to working with his club. Both teams were happy for the week off last week and will come out fresh and pushing hard for the full 3 points in the table here. UTA has allowed 1.5 goals per match and  Universitatea Cluj has allowed 2 goals per match this season and I am expecting at least a 2-1 final here. UTA has only one draw in their 7 matches this season and they will not settle for one here either. 10* OVER 2 -140 in UTA

Rotation #212401: Bulgaria Parva Liga: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -140 in Levski Sofia vs Pirin Blagoevgrad @ 1:30 ET - Levski Sofia is at home and favored by 2 goals on the goal line for good reason. I am banking on at least a 2-1 final here but 3-0 or even 3-1 or 4-1 is just as likely. The hosts will be relentless here as they are the vastly superior club and scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. The reason they will be aggressive here is because in their last two league meetings with Pirin Blagoevgrad they won one only 1-0 and the other was a 1-1 draw. If you look each of the other 6 meetings across all competitions between these clubs in recent years, all 6 totaled at least 3 goals! Levski Sofia scored an average 2.7 goals per match and won all 6 of those matches. After what happened last season in their meetings in the regular season plus the way things have begun this season, there is every reason to expect a home blowout here and that means this one gets to 3 or more goals. 10* OVER 2.5 -140 in Levski Sofia

Rotation #224141: Welsh Premier League: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 goals -130 in Bala Town vs The New Saints @ 2:45 ET - The New Saints are rolling and at the top of the league and have averaged 3.2 goals scored per match this season. Bala Town is off a 3-0 loss in Scottish League Challenge Cup but this was preceded by scoring at least 1 goal and earning at least a draw in each of their last 3 matches in league action. In the Welsh Cup last season, The New Saints crushed Bala Town 6-0 and so revenge is on the minds of the hosts here. The fact this one is on their home pitch gives them good odds at a competitive affair but they will have to score plenty to keep up with the high-powered attack of the league-leading Saints. That said, look for this one to end 2-2 or 3-2 the way I see it and we should see plenty of goals in this one. 10* OVER 3 goals -130 in Bala Town 

Rotation #211601: Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals -130 in Zrinjski vs Posusje @ 12:30 ET - This total has dropped some from its opener so we have excellent line value here. Posusje is off 4-0 win but allowed 7 goals in their 4 matches preceding that one. They have scored at least 1 goal in 4 of 5 matches this season. They have had no draws. That said, odds favor at least a 2-1 final here. Zrinjski has also been playing in the Europa League action where they conceded at least 1 goal in all 4 matches and allowed an average of 1.5 goals per match. They did score in 3 of those 4 matches as well. But, in their domestic Premier League action the goals have really been flying with B2B wins by a combined score of 8-4 so an average score of 4-2 and 6 goals per match! 10* OVER 2.5 goals -130

Rotation #225581: Euro Champ Qualifying | Group Stage: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 4 in Spain vs Cyprus @ 2:45 ET - Spain will be playing a number of young players again that want to prove themselves and it was no accident that these guys just hammered Georgia 7 to 1. Spain is loaded with talent and, again, the youth movement with players wanting to show they are ready to take things to the next level insures that plenty of aggression on the attack will again be on display here. Perhaps Cyprus can manage to score 1 goal just like Georgia did but, either way, I like the over here. Do not let the big total scare you away. Spain is favored by 3.5 goals on the goal line for a reason. I am looking for a 4-1 or 5-1 type match but, even if this over-matched Cyprus club can not score, note that 5-0 or 6-0 still works just as well for cashing this ticket. Cyprus just does not have the talent level to compete here and they are on the road so the hosts will be relentless in putting on a show for the home crowd as well. 10* OVER 4 in Spain

Rotation #210021: International Friendlies: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +115 in Saudi Arabia vs South Korea @ 12:30 ET @ St James's Park in Newcastle, UK - Saudi Arabia will enjoy the new manager bounce here with the recent appointment of new manager Roberto Mancini. Also, there is a lot of excitement in the program overall after all the recent big signings of players coming to play in Saudi Arabia leagues plus, for the program, that shocking 2-1 win over Argentina in November in the World Cup still resonates. However, they enter this match off a disappointing 3-1 loss to Costa Rica in a match played Friday here at St James Park also. That was their 4th straight match to total at least 3 goals and I expect that trend to continue here. I know they have a long history of low-scoring battles with South Korea but much of that his older history. In the here and now, South Korea is also hungry to get off the schneid and they enter this match off a scoreless draw. So you have two very hungry clubs here looking for goals and to achieve a victory. I like some of the market pricing here too and feel that is an indicator of what to expect here as well. 10* OVER 2.5 +115 in Saudi Arabia

Rotation #225541: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -130 in Iceland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina @ 2:45 ET - Iceland is playing the first of 3 straight home matches so there is still a glimmer of hope for them in this competition. 5 of their last 6 matches have totaled at least 3 goals and I am expecting a 2-1 type of match here. We get extra line value here since this total is available at 2 goals. That is a huge value and I expect each club to get on the board which means at least a 1-1 match here but, again, look for a big push for that deciding goal here. Bosnia and Herzegovina very nearly let a 2-0 lead slip away against Liechtenstein in a 2-1 win in most recent match so they will be aggressive here and did beat Iceland 3-0 when these clubs met in March. Bosnia and Herzegovina should again have some success finding the back of the net here but also note that they have allowed an average of 2 goals per match since that victory. Iceland has lost 5 of last 6 matches and scored 7 goals in the lone win (over Liechtenstein) but allowed 2 goals per match in the 5 losses. You can see why, given the above stats and the situational aspect here of how these clubs enter this match, we can expect solid scoring here. 10* OVER 2 -130 in Iceland

Rotation #225537: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Armenia vs Croatia @ Noon ET - Armenia is paying the price for sitting on a 1-0 lead in most recent match and that ended up a 1-1 draw with Turkey. Considering that, plus the fact they are at home here, Armenia should be quite aggressive in this match. However, Croatia is a big favorite here for a reason and coming off a huge 5-0 win in most recent match. You can see why I am expecting goals here. Croatia also scored 4 goals in most recent road match - in terms of a true road match rather than neutral site - as they won 4-2 at Netherlands in a Nations League match. That said, I am confident in their scoring ability again here and do not feel Armenia can stop them. Armenia has scored and conceded in 5 straight matches and 7 of last 8 so the signs are definitely pointing toward goals in this one. Before the 1-1 draw with Turkey, 9 of the last 10 Armenia matches totaled at least 3 goals. Overall, the hosts last 11 matches have averaged 4 goals apiece! More of the same here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Armenia

Rotation #225529: Euro Champ Qualifying | Group Stage: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Lithuania vs Serbia @ 2:45 ET - Serbia has scored an average of 3 goals per match in the last 4 meetings with Lithuania. Serbia likes to play an attacking formation with an aggressive style and I expect that to be the case here as well as they look to dominate an opponent they know they are fully capable of dominating. However, with Lithuania at home, do not be surprised if they also find the back of the net at least once in this one! Lithuania lost the most recent meeting 2-0 in March but they had scored a goal in 3 straight meetings between these clubs prior to that. At home, they will get back on the board here but they will not be able to stop Serbia the way I see it. Note that Lithuania has allowed 2 goals in B2B matches but also did score 2 goals in most recent match - a 2-2 draw. Serbia has both scored and conceded in 3 straight matches and that trend continues here but they are 1.5 goal favorite on the goal line with good reason! Look for at least a 3-1 final here and that cashes this ticked. 10* OVER 3 in Lithuania

Rotation #225509: Euro Champ Qualifying | Group Stage: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in Finland vs Denmark @ Noon ET - Denmark beat Finland 3-1 in the reverse fixture. Denmark has scored 2.2 goals per match last 5 matches. However, of course Finland will be tough here at home and is out for revenge. Note that Finland has won 4 straight matches and scored an average of 2.5 goals per match since that loss. This should be a well-played match that ends with at least a 2-1 final. Both clubs have scored at least one goal in 5 straight matches and there has only been 1 draw in looking at all those matches. We'll see 2-1 here as Denmark is solid but Finland is a revenge-minded host and the attacking will be early and often in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 +120 in Finland

Rotation #225485: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in North Macedonia vs Italy @ 2:45 ET - Italy is out revenge after a 1-0 loss to North Macedonia when these teams met in 2022 so I am sure the that the visitors are going to roll here and North Macedonia is hosting them at the wrong time. Italy will be relentless here and lets not forget that the hosts have allowed an average of 5 goals in their last two matches! I do like the fact that North Macedonia has a good run at home in terms of being able to find the back of the net at least once in their matches here. However, the visitors will get some revenge here and are a huge favorite for a reason but North Macedonia has scored a goal in 6 straight Euro Qualifiers when they are on their home pitch so, off an ugly 7-0 loss at England, they should bounce back here as well. When I say bounce back I just mean they should find the back of the net and get a goal but ultimately the visitors prevail with at least a pair of goals. Look for a 2-1 or 3-1 type match here. 10* OVER 2.5 in North Macedonia

Rotation #225473: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Estonia vs Sweden @ Noon ET - Sweden is angry off a 2-0 loss so Estonia is hosting them at the wrong time. Sweden will be relentless here and lets not forget that shutout loss was preceded by Sweden scoring 9 goals over two matches. The visitors will bounce back here and are a huge favorite for a reason but Estonia had scored 13 goals in their 9 matches before a 3-0 shutout in their most recent match so they should bounce back here as well. When I say bounce back I just mean they should find the back of the net and get a goal but ultimately the visitors prevail with at least a pair of goals. Look for a 2-1 or 3-1 type match here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Estonia

Rotation #225445: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Croatia vs Latvia @ Noon ET - Of course you can tell by the goal line of 2.5 on this one and the massive money line on Croatia, Latvia is in big trouble here. However, I do like the fact that Latvia - despite all the recent losing - has been scoring some goals. They have scored at least once in 4 of last 5 matches and 3 of their last 4 matches have totaled at least 3 goals with 2 of the 3 reaching the 5 goal mark. I am looking for at least a 3-1 final here. Something along those lines as Latvia could surprise with a goal here but it will Croatia that should be relentless and scoring plenty as they put on a show for the home fans here. Croatia's last action was a scoreless match with Spain in Nations League so you know they want to bring a top effort here! Their 3 matches prior to that were wins by a combined score of 7 to 2 including a 4-2 in in most recent match. Yes they are capable of shutting down Latvia but, coming off a shutout, look for their bigger focus to be in the offensive end of the pitch and they have so many edges everywhere they could actually win this match by a 4-0 type of count. Either way, I am looking for this one to get over the total here as it is a nice set-up for anticipating goals. 10* OVER 3 in Croatia

Rotation #225437: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Georgia vs Spain @ Noon ET - Georgia, of course, is in trouble here. But they are hosting and did score an average of 3 goals in 3 matches before the 2-0 defeat at the hands of Scotland. Of course one of those was a friendly against a heavily outclassed foe, Mongolia, but the point is that Georgia has the attacking confidence to get a goal here. That is particularly true since they are on their home pitch and that is why I am forecasting a 2-1 type final here. However, the reality is that Spain could score enough to get this one over the total all by themselves. The fact is that Spain does not have the power they once did but Georgia has allowed 8 goals in last 5 matches and I expect the visitors to be very aggressive on the attack here. Spain faced Georgia twice in 2021 and won those games by a combined score of 6 to 1. I look for Spain to explode offensively here as they are fired up after a scoreless match with Croatia in Nations League action over the summer and also their most recent match in these Euro Champ Qualifiers was, like Georgia, a 2-0 loss at the hands of Scotland. Their other two recent matches were wins by a combined score of 5 to 1 and each of those matches totaled 3 goals and this one will too as Spain is coming out hungry and relentless for this one but don't be surprised if the hosts score one on the counterattack as well. 10* OVER 2.5 in Georgia

Rotation #225417: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -125 in France vs Ireland @ 2:45 ET - France is a huge favorite here and will be looking to lay down a beating after barely squeaking by in the first meeting in Ireland by a 1-0 count. Now at home, France will be even more aggressive on the attack but I like what Ireland did in the first meeting and that should lead to some chances again here. I am projecting a 3-1 final as the visitors should make the net ripple at least once here but will not have any hopes of slowing down a surging France team on their home soil. France has scored 2.4 goals per match last 5 across all competitions and they are a perfect 4-0 so far in this competition. Ireland has some added confidence courtesy of scoring an average of 1.7 goals per match in their last 4 matches across all competitions. However, Ireland just will not be able to stop the attack of one of the top clubs in the nation here in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 -125 in France

Rotation #225405: European Championship Qualifying, Group Stage: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -125 in Lithuania vs Montenegro @ Noon ET - Montenegro needs a victory here. That could get them back into contention in Group G. That said, I do not expect them to "sit back" here and look for a draw with a defensive gameplan. On the contrary, they will show some aggression and look to be on the attack early and often in this one. At the same time, the fact Lithuania is at home is a positive for seeing goals here. They are certainly not going to lay down at home here but when these teams met twice 5 years ago, Montenegro did score 6 goals against them with Lithuania managing just 1 goal in the match in which they were hosting. There is still separation between the level of these clubs and that is why Montenegro is a solid favorite on the road here. That is why I am expecting a 2-1 type match here. Lithuania has allowed 1.7 goals per match in their last 3 competition matches. Montenegro has allowed 2 goals per match in last 3 matches across all competitions. 10* OVER 2 -125 in Lithuania 

Rotation #205681: Irish Premier League: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in UC Dublin vs Derry City @ 2:45 ET - Derry City is a massive money line favorite here for a reason and favored by a 2-goal margin on the goal line. The set up here is ideal as they are off a 3-1 win and each of last two matches have totaled 4 goals. They also have scored 3.7 goals in winning each of last 3 matches with UC Dublin. Note that UC Dublin lost the most recent meeting by a 4-1 final. They again are in trouble here defensively and in goal but they also should again notch at least 1 goal as they are on their home pitch and Derry City has been conceding goals of late. UC Dublin is the worst club in the league by far and consistently allows big goal totals. They are allowing 2.5 goals per match and are outclassed here by this Derry City club. Look for a 3-1 or 4-0 or 4-1 type final here. 10* OVER 3 in UC Dublin

Rotation #200885: English League One: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +105 in Cambridge United vs Reading @ 3 ET - Reading is hungry to get right back up into the Championship League which is right below the Premier League. Of course to do that, even though it is early in the season, they know they need to better on their travels. They will be pushing hard to rectify that here. They are not going to be sitting back and hoping for a draw. Reading will be aggressive. They are also angry because they just got knocked out of the EFL Cup proceedings. So this match has extra importance for a Reading response but, at the same time, Cambridge United has scored 5 goals in its 3 home matches and they will have plenty of confidence on their home pitch here. Cambridge United and Reading each have played 5 matches in League One action and neither has had a draw. That trend holds here the way I see it and is why I am banking on at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in Cambridge United

Rotation #206841: Romania Liga 1 Monday: 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +120 in Sepsi vs UTA @ 2:30 ET - Great situation for goals here. UTA is off a huge upset win over FCSB as they won 2-1. They are traveling to Sepsi without their coach here because he is out after a heart procedure (stent). He is fine now and already met with the team prior to them leaving for this trip. The UTA players are surely going to go all out for him here. However, they are at risk of a bit of a letdown defensively after the big upset win over a strong FCSB club. That means it could be another big performance for Sepsi whom beat them 4 to 1 in the most recent meeting. Sepsi is fired up after getting knocked out of the Europa Conference League Qualifiers by a combined 5-4 score in the two matches. Overall, across all competitions, Sepsi has scored at least 1 goal in 9 straight matches and has averaged 2 goals per match during this stretch. Remember that 4-1 beating Sepsi laid on UTA was at Arad so they will be out for revenge and looking to return the favor here at Sfantu Gheorghe. 4 of last 5 UTA matches have totaled at least 3 goals and many signs point to the likelihood that this one will too. 10* OVER 2.5 in Sepsi

Rotation #206837: Romania Liga 1 Monday: 10* Top Play OVER 2 in FC Botosani vs Hermannstadt @ 11:30 AM ET - The value of an over 2 in soccer can be huge. This is particularly true in Romania Liga 1 and the goals have been flying here. However, not all clubs are created equal of course and that is why we are getting the over at just 2 goals here. The fact is both clubs have trended toward lower-scoring matches. Why am I on the over then? Well, FC Botosani just made a coaching change to 43 year old Dan Alexa. Look for the former Romanian football star - who has been coaching in other leagues for years now - to immediately get this club playing hard for him. They are at home here for this one and will be ready to go from the opening minute! However, Hermanndstadt has a history of struggles in visits to Botosani but they have been the better club so far this season and you know they are amped up to put the past disappointments behind them here. So, situationally, this is a solid spot. From a more technical standpoint, note that Botosani has allowed about a goal and a half per match this season. Hermannstadt has seen 5 of last 7 matches total at least 2 goals and 4 of those 5 that did actually totaled 3 or more goals here. Strong odds on a winning over play here as both clubs so hungry for a win and I see each team scoring and then one of the clubs gets the deciding goal for a 2-1 win. 10* OVER 2 in FC Botosani

Rotation #206853: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -115 in U Craiova 1948 vs Farul Constanta @ 2:30 ET - The last 3 meetings between these clubs all have totaled at least 3 goals and the average has been 4 goals. There also is a high-scoring trend taking place right now in Liga 1 and also with these clubs - U Craiova 1948 and Farul. Considering that plus the fact that Farul just got eliminated from Europa Conference League and the defending champs are now fully focused on this league, you have a great set-up here. Farul is off to a disappointing start to the season as the defending champs and they are hungry to get rolling again. Prior to a shutout loss to Helsinki that eliminated them as noted above, Farul had averaged scoring 2 goals per match last 4 matches. They have conceded 1.5 goals per match last 4 matches. U Craiova 1948 has played 7 matches in Liga 1 action so far and 5 of them have totaled at least 4 goals and those 5 matches have averaged 6 goals! These are unheard of numbers and we just need 3 goals to be a winner here and I am looking for each club to score and neither club to settle for a draw. That translates to at least a 2-1 final here. Note that NEITHER club has had a draw yet this season certainly the odds favor at least a 2-1 final in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 -115 in U Craiova 1948

Rotation #200157: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Arsenal vs Manchester United @ 11:30 AM ET - Both clubs are off to slower than expected starts this season and that means plenty of motivation here to remain aggressive in searching for the full 3 points in the table. Manchester United is off a 3-2 win but they had to battle back in that one and Arsenal is off a disappointing 2-2 draw. That means both clubs will look to get the upper hand early in this one but also not back down even with a lead. They have each seen, already this season, how important it is to build on a lead and not try to sit back on it. This is particularly true in a match-up in which both clubs are so dangerous on the attack. Arsenal has allowed at least 1 goal in 9 of last 10 home matches but also has scored multiple goals in 9 of last 10 matches as a host! The two matches between these clubs last season each totaled at least 4 goals and I am looking for that again here. Manchester United is dealing with injuries defensively and the hosts will be ready to attack that with the Red Devils knowing then too that their best chance is to win this one with some success on an aggressive counterattack. Looking for a wild one here as the high-scoring trend in Arsenal home matches continuing and a 2-2 draw would not surprise me in the least! Either way, expecting at least 3 but much more likely 4 or more in this one given the situation and recent history. 10* OVER 3 in Arsenal

Rotation #200149: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 in Liverpool vs Aston Villa @ 9 AM ET - Big total but Liverpool is scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season and scored 3 goals in their only home match thus far. Aston Villa is also scoring well with an average of 2.7 goals scored per match this season. Aston Villa has allowed an average of 3 goals per match away from home this season and Liverpool is allowing an average of 1 goal per match on the young season. Liverpool can score so well at home plus they now benefit from Darwin Nunez flying high after coming off the bench to produce 2 goals in their dramatic come from behind win over Newcastle last week besides being down a man in that 10 on 11 finish. Liverpool will draw off that momentum here but Aston Villa has been red hot including the boosted confidence of an aggregate 8-0 win over Hibernian in continental matters as they dominated both legs of that tie! I don't trust the Liverpool backline but they are potent up front and have a long unbeaten run at Anfield for a reason! Don't be surprised if we see a wild high-scoring affair here that sees each club find the back of the net at least twice. So much potent attacking capability for both sides here plus the hosts continue to deal with goalkeeper injury concerns. 10* OVER 3.5 in Liverpool 

Rotation #200145: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Brighton & Hove vs Newcastle United @ 12:30 ET - Brighton is scoring an average of 3 goals per match in early season action but also has already allowed 2 goals per match in their home matches this season. Newcastle is scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season and I know they were shutout in their lone road match so far this season but that was against league-best Manchester City and it also played out in very surprising fashion. The scoreboard was not indicative of the play on the field and that happens sometimes but we will not let it fool us here. This Newcastle club has a plenty dangerous attack and Brighton does as well and we should see goals galore here as a result! I like the fact that Newcastle is off a 2-1 loss to Liverpool in which they had the Reds down to 10 men but blew the game. Lesson learned. The visitors will play more aggressively with the lead in the future and so, regardless of the scoreboard situation, Newcastle - whether even, trailing, or in the lead - is going to be relentlessly aggressive in this match the way I see it. Brighton is off a 3-1 loss to West Ham so you know they are going to also bring some extra attack in this match as well after that disappointing home loss! The last two meetings between these clubs averaged 4 goals apiece and 3 of the last 4 have totaled at least 3 goals. Given the situation here, we should see 3 goals and then some in this one! Brighton has both scored and conceded in 4 straight matches and those matches averaged 4 goals apiece. 10* OVER the total in Brighton

Rotation #206845: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +105 in FC Voluntari vs CFR Cluj @ Noon ET - 6 of last 7 CFR Cluj matches across all competitions have seen them both score and concede a goal. They enter this match off 3-1 and 4-3 wins. Ironically, in their last 4 meetings with FC Voluntari, CFR Cluj has scored wins twice in which they scored 3 and 4 goals respectively. You can see why I am anticipating plenty of scoring here and adding to the value is the fact that FC Voluntari has both scored and conceded in 8 of last 9 matches! Those 9 matches have averaged 4 goals apiece! We only need 3 here to be a winner and you can see why I am projecting at least a 2-1 type of match here in this one. 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in FC Voluntari

Rotation #200129: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Manchester City vs Fulham @ 10 AM ET - Manchester City is at home and, though they have been winning, they have been playing with fire a bit of late and are in need of a dominating blowout win. I am looking for them to answer that call here at home and they might get this total all by themselves. I look for a very aggressive City club to score at least 3 times on their home pitch but Fulham has been competitive too and is fully capable of scoring at least 1 goal here. They have been successful at getting after aggressive approaches from the opposition by successfully executing on the counter attack. I am expecting that to be the case again here in a 3-1 type match. Fulham has scored at least 1 goal in 4 of last 5 matches. Manchester City has won 17 straight matches at home and has averaged scoring an incredible 3.2 goals per match during this streak! More of the same here. 10* OVER the total in Manchester City

Rotation #200121: English Premier League: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -115 in Luton Town vs West Ham United @ 3 ET - Luton Town is so happy to be back in Premier League and, yes, they did drop their first two matches in league action but those were on the road. I am not saying they will win this match at home but I am saying they will be more competitive as they also have the added confidence of coming off a home win here in EFL Cup action on Tuesday. Now it is their EPL home opener and I expect a huge effort from the hosts and a great atmosphere here. This will translate to goals as West Ham United enters this match off to a red hot start to the season and the Hammers will be tough to slow down here. As a result, I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here. Luton Town's last 3 matches across all competitions have all totaled at least 3 goals and have averaged 4 goals apiece. West Ham has seen 8 of last 9 matches across all competitions total at least 3 goals and the average of these 9 matches has been 4 goals apiece. 10* OVER 2.5 in Luton Town

Rotation #206833: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals -125 in Rapid Bucuresti vs Dinamo Bucuresti @ 2:30 ET - This one is set up to be a high-scoring battle the way I see it. 5 of last 6 Rapid matches have totaled at least 3 goals and these 6 matches have averaged 4 goals apiece! They are playing with a lot of confidence but Dinamo is starting to play much better as they are getting adjusted to life at the top level again after being promoted from the Liga 2. Dinamo has now gone unbeaten in 4 straight matches and confidence is building. They should be good for at least 1 goal here but, of course, Rapid is heavily favored in this one with good reason. Dinamo has scored 1.5 goals per match last 4 matches. Rapid won the most recent meeting 3-1 and the clubs have both scored and conceded in each of the last 3 meetings. With both clubs playing with a lot of confidence right now plus the fact this is a rivalry match with a huge crowd of fans expected, the atmosphere will be great for this one and the push for goals will be an aggressive one in this match. 10* OVER 2.5 goals -125 in Rapid Bucuresti

Rotation #224421: Europa League Qualifying, Playoff Round, 2nd Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Cukaricki Belgrade vs Olympiacos Athens @ 2 ET - The first leg was a 3-1 win for Olympiacos. That said, with Cukaricki at home and desperate for scoring here due to the 2-goal deficit I really like the over a lot in this spot. Olympiaco is still favored here on the road for a reason of course yet Cukaricki getting the late goal in the 3-1 loss at least helped save them a glimmer of hope since the 2nd leg is home in Serbia for them. Cukaricki has had 7 straight matches (in Europa Conference League or Europa League Qualifying action) total at least 4 goals! Olympiacos has scored an average of 2.2 goals last 5 matches across all competitions and all of the above is why I would not be surprised to see each club find the back of the net at least 2 times in this one. Even if it does not reach 2-2, certainly looking for at least a 2-1 final here given the situation and the recent level of play for these two clubs. 10* OVER 2.5 in Cukaricki Belgrade

Rotation #224409: Europa League Qualifying, Playoff Round, 2nd Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Sparta Prague vs Dinamo Zagreb @ 1 ET - The first leg was a 3-1 for Dinamo. That said, with Sparta at home and desperate for scoring here due to the 2-goal deficit I really like the over a lot in this spot. Sparta is favored for a reason yet Dinamo showed in the first leg how dangerous they are. Also, Dinamo enters this one having scored 18 goals in last 9 matches! Sparta has scored 21 goals in last 9 matches! These are numbers across all competitions and it is why I would not be surprised to see each club find the back of the net at least 2 times in this one. Even if it does not reach 2-2, certainly looking for at least a 2-1 final here given the situation and the recent level of play for these two clubs. 10* OVER 2.5 in Sparta Prague

Rotation #224237: Champions League | Playoffs | 2nd Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in PSV Eindhoven vs Glasgow Rangers @ 3 ET - The first match was a 2-2 draw. The same thing happened last year between these clubs and then PSV Eindhoven fell 1-0 in the 2nd leg on their home pitch. They certainly do not want to see a repeat of that and, as a result, they will be ultra aggressive on the attack in this one. PSV Eindhoven does absolutely need to do just that because they have injuries to their backline and will be weaker there and of course the club from Glasgow is well aware of this and will also be aggressive on the attack. With both clubs seeming to continue to produce 2 or more goals on a consistent basis, and considering some missed high quality chances in the 1st leg, I am projecting another match between these clubs should get to at least 2-2 in what should be a highly competitive but, in terms of goals, also highly entertaining affair. 10* OVER 3 in PSV Eindhoven 

Rotation #200693: EFL Cup | Second Round: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Doncaster vs Everton @ 2:45 ET - Both these clubs are struggling right now in their respective domestic leagues. Doncaster is in League Two which is below League One and the Championship League and all 3 of these are below the English Premier League where Everton resides. That said, there is quite a talent disparity between these two clubs and Everton is favored by 1.5 goals on the goal line for a reason. The key here the way I see it - and why I am projecting a 3-1 type match - is that both clubs are likely to be aggressive on the attack to try and erase some of their domestic disappointments so far in their current campaigns. With this match on their home pitch, don't be surprised when Doncaster finds a way to get on the board here. However, Everton has solid attacking options and should pull away for a solid win here. This could end 3-2 however so that is why I am not playing the goal line here. I simply feel much more comfortable expecting a lot of goals in this one. Look for a 3-1 or 3-2 type match here. Doncaster has scored at least 1 goal in 3 straight matches but also has allowed 11 goals in those matches! Everton has both scored and conceded at an average clip of 2 goals in their last 4 matches and there is nothing average about 2-2 and we take advantage of the line value here with this one. 10* OVER 3 in Doncaster

Rotation #224225: Champions League | Playoffs | 2nd Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -135 in Young Boys vs Maccabi Haifa @ 3 ET - After a scoreless draw in the 1st Leg of this one you can practically feel what is about to happen here. This will be a completely contrasting style filled with attacking. The first match accomplished nothing and now with everything on the line in terms of hopes of advancing to the next round of Champions League qualifying action, you know both clubs will pull out all the stops here! Much more attacking and much more aggression because both realize that the cautious approach in the first leg benefitted no one. Perhaps it benefitted Young Boys more since now the second leg is on their home pitch but still they know they know there is work to be done! Young Boys had both scored AND conceded in 5 straight matches before that 0-0 match with Maccabi Haifa and those 5 matches averaged 4 goals apiece. We just need 3 here to be a winner. Note that Maccabi Haifa had won 3 straight matches prior to the scoreless draw and the average score of those matches was 3-1 - yes, also averaging 4 goals just like Young Boys recently. More of the same here and I am projecting at least a 2-1 final here. OVER 2.5 -135 in Young Boys

Rotation #200625: English Carabao Cup, Second Round: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 3 +110 in Fulham vs Tottenham @ 2:45 ET - The EFL Cup is the least prestigious of the trophy options in English Football but the clubs are still going for it even if they field some different personnel on the pitch than what they are using in their league competitions. A key factor then becomes how a club is playing tactically and, in this case, Tottenham certainly has shown aggression on the attack. I believe they are trying (and succeeding thus far by the way) to prove that they can win matches and score goals even without Harry Kane. The fact is the Hotspur have scored at least 2 goals in 8 straight matches and actually have averaged 3 goals scored in those 8 matches. The fact Fulham gets this match on their home pitch should help them here. 3 of Fulham's last 4 matches have totaled at least 3 goals and this one will too. They have some confidence with a respectable start to the EPL season but Fulham is still prone to giving up goals in bunches. If you look at their last 9 matches across all competitions they managed one clean sheet but allowed an average of 2 goals per match in the other 8 matches. So I am looking for this one to get beyond the 3 goal mark and 4 goals seems like the most likely final the way I see this one playing out. Whether it is 2-2 or 3-1 the fact is both clubs should feature strength on the attack as I trust Fulham at home and I really like the way Tottenham has played both home and away. 10* OVER 3 +110 in Fulham

Rotation #206817: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in UTA vs FCSB @ 2:30 ET - I am well aware that FCSB is missing a couple players for this match. However, this club from Bucuresti is one of the deeper clubs in the league and their 5-0 start in the league did not happen by accident. This club has depth and talent and will be dangerous on the road in this one as they are favored with good reason. The fact is that UTA is much better than their record would lead you to believe. They have only 1 win this season but UTA is a tough club and will be particularly tough on their home pitch. I look for them to score at least once here and even if that is all they get it should still should be enough for an over as FCSB likely to get the win and it would be a 2-1 final. No matter how it gets there (I do not like the side here) I am expecting at least 3 goals and honestly a 2-2 draw would not shock me in the least. Note that UTA has allowed 2.7 goals in last 3 losses but did win most recent home match 1-0. I do not see them shutting down FCSB however and the other 3 recent matches for UTA - all losses - each totaled at least 3 goals. The last 3 meetings between these clubs each have totaled at least 3 goals. Also, FCSB enters this match having scored an average of 2 goals per match in Romania Liga 1 action this season. 10* OVER 2.5 in UTA

Rotation #206805: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 in Hermannstadt vs Universitatea Cluj @ 11:30 AM ET - Coaching change back to their former coach and I expect Universitatea Cluj to rally behind this move. In other words, expect a strong and aggressive effort from the road club here. However, Hermannstadt is happy to be on their home pitch and will be tough to beat here. The fact we get this total available at just 2 goals is a strong value for over players. Hermannstadt has allowed a goal in all 5 matches this season but also scored 2 goals in their most recent home match. Also, the last meeting between these clubs totaled 3 goals. As for Universitatea Cluj, their last 8 matches in Romania Liga 1 action - including all 6 this season - have totaled at least 2 goals. Those 8 matches have averaged totaling 3.5 goals apiece and they have both scored and conceded in 6 of last 7 matches. 10* OVER 2 in Hermannstadt

Rotation #206813: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Farul vs Universitatea Craiova @ 2:30 ET - Universitatea Craiova can move into first place with a win here. But this match is in Constanta. The home pitch for Farul is traditionally kind to them and they are the defending champs. They want the win here for sure as they look to get back on track this season and prevent  Universitatea Craiova from moving into first place. From that standpoint, there is a lot of motivation for the hosts here but they also have allowed 2 goals per match this season and Universitatea Craiova is scoring an average of 2 goals per match this season. There is a reason this total is set at a solid 2.5 as the fact is there should be a lot of scoring. Farul is having troubles defending this season but they will also be hungry on the attack in this match. No club in the 16-club league has allowed fewer goals (2) than Universitatea Craiova has so far this season. That said, this total may surprise you but the reality is this match has 2-1, at least, written all over it. There will be goals in this one! Proud home team defending champs and a visiting club playing some of their best football in a long time. This one will be entertaining. 10* OVER 2.5 in Farul

Rotation #200117: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 3 goals -135 in Newcastle United vs Liverpool @ 11:30 AM ET - Newcastle United happy to be back home where they are known for scoring well and that includes their 5-1 win to open up this season. Now, coming off a disappointing loss, look for the hosts to be aggressive to quickly pick up where they left off in week 1 by being aggressive on the attack. Facing a Liverpool club with some shakiness at the backline will help the cause here for the hosts. However, also note that the Reds are off a high-scoring win and they certainly have the talent to come up big on the attack. Liverpool also has a great history of success against Newcastle and has been scoring plenty in recent meetings between these teams. Liverpool could have scored much more in the season opener versus Chelsea that ended 1-1 and their other recent matches across all competitions have reflected their scoring prowess just as the match against the Blues should have reflected the same. That said, don't be surprised if each club gets to 2 goals in this one and don't let the big number on this total scare you. 10* OVER 3 -135 in Newcastle

Rotation #200113: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Burnley vs Aston Villa @ 9 AM ET - Like the fact Burnley is at home and rested and ready here with fresh legs. As for Aston Villa they bounced back from a 5-1 drubbing to open the EPL season with a huge 4-0 thrashing in their favor in Week 2. They then parlayed that momentum with a 5-0 win in continental action as well so they are rolling and goals are flying after they hammered Hibernian. That said, Aston Villa can continue to be aggressive here as they have a safe 5-0 edge in that Europa Conference League action. Aston Villa will be focused here and that means we should see plenty of scoring from them again in this one but do note that their top goalie, Emiliano Martinez, is dealing with a minor injury. The hosts will take advantage and I expect them to get on the board but Aston Villa also favored with good reason so I am looking for at least a 2-1 final here. 10* OVER 2.5 in Burnley

Rotation #206997: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Dinamo Bucuresti vs Petrolul Ploiesti @ 2:45 ET - Both clubs playing with a lot of confidence and off high-scoring wins. Each club undefeated last 3 matches. Dinamo has scored an average of 1.7 goals per match in their 3 matches this month and they are off a 3-2 win last week and have an edge in playing for the 3rd straight week in the Bucuresti metro area! Petrolul Ploiesti has won 3 straight matches and scored an average of 3 goals per match during this hot streak. Petro is off a 4-3 win last week. This is a rivalry between the Red Dogs and the Yellow Wolves and neither club will be willing to settle for a share of the spoils and I also can not envision a match in which one of the clubs does not score. That said, this one has all the makings of at least a 2-1 final the way I see it and we have good value with the over in this one! 10* OVER 2.5 in Dinamo Bucuresti

Rotation #200105: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3.5 in Brighton & Hove vs West Ham United @ 12:30 ET - Yes this is a big total but it is set that way for a reason! The fact is that each of these clubs have conceded in each of their first two matches but also each of these teams is scoring extremely well at the other end of the pitch as well. West Ham is averaging 2 goals scored per match and Brighton is, incredibly, double that as they lead the EPL so far with an average of 4 goals scored per match. Not only that, they are at home here so you know they are going to bring their A game for this one and they are playing with so much confidence right now. Both clubs are undefeated so far this season and that can also be dangerous for teams because they can let up a little on the defensive end when they know their attack is capable of bailing them out time and time again. In this case, Brighton will be particularly tough because they are at home but West Ham wants revenge for a 4-0 beating when these clubs last met! Brighton has averaged 3 goals per match in the last 3 meetings between these clubs. Big total but last 14 Brighton matches across all competitions have averaged 4 goals apiece so do not let this big number scare you. As for West Ham, their last 8 matches across all competitions have also averaged 4 goals apiece. 10* OVER 3.5 in Brighton & Hove

Rotation #200089: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 or 3 in Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest @ 10 AM ET - Manchester United is off a disappointing loss in which their first half was filled with missed opportunities. They will make up for that here on their home pitch where they are so strong. Nottingham Forest enters this one on the back of 2-1 matches in each of first two matches this season - one a victory and one a loss. The goals should keep flying here. Nottingham Forest is putting more of an emphasis on the attack early this season and their manager wants even more from the final third on the pitch. That said, they will be aggressive here but that will play right into Manchester United's hands. Of course the hosts are a big favorite for a reason and I am looking for them to pull away as this one goes on and would not be surprised to see 4 or 5 goals before this match is all wrapped up. Man U should be getting some players back this week too. They will be strong and this is a confident club when at home. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Manchester United

Rotation #200081: English Premier League OVER 2.5 or 3 in Chelsea vs Luton Town @ 3 ET - Chelsea just got rocked last week and they are still seeking their first win of the season. They have wasted great opportunities in each of their first two matches and now will take advantage of a step down in competition as they face newly promoted Luton Town. The key to the over here is two-fold. Not only will Chelsea be relentless on the attack but note that they are still working in a lot of new faces and prone to mistakes and Luton Town has fresh legs as their match last week was postponed. Don't be surprised if the visitors put some pressure on here and get on the board but, of course, the hosts are a big favorite for a reason and ultimately they will pull away for the victory and that means plenty of goals in this one the way I see it so the value way to play this one is in taking a look at the over here. 10* OVER 2.5 or 3 in Chelsea

Rotation #206809: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in U Craiova 1948 vs Rapid Bucuresti @ 2:30 ET - U Craiova 1948 has had Rapid's number in recent meetings. However, Rapid comes into this one as the much stronger and cohesive club. U Craiova 1948 is going through yet another coaching change after also having one heading into the season. Even with all the turmoil they are at home here and I expect this to lead to goals in this one. That's because the hosts will respond to the coaching change but there is no way I see them slowing down a revenge-minded Rapid club. That said, a 2-1 final is most likely as each club should get on the board but neither club would be content on a draw and a share of the spoils here. Note that U Craiova 1948 has seen 4 of their 6 matches this season total at least 4 goals. Also, 4 of the last 5 matches between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals. As for Rapid, 4 of their last 5 matches have totaled at least 3 goals and, going back even further, 8 of last 11 have. 10* OVER 2.5 in U Craiova 1948

Rotation #224413: Europa League | Qualifying, Playoff Round | 1st Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in PFC Ludogorets Razgrad vs Ajax Amsterdam @ 2 ET - Ajax is a very strong club but they also are dealing with injuries at the goalkeeper position. That said, I am looking for a very high-scoring match here. Ajax has seen 4 of last 5 matches total at least 4 goals. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad has seen 4 of last 5 matches total at least 3 goals and those 4 matches did average 4 goals apiece. This one is in Bulgaria and I expect the hosts to enjoy some success but they will also struggle to stop a solid attack as Ajax has shown good resiliency under new management and they have been able to comeback on clubs too. This is one of those matches where no lead is safe, especially considering the goalie situation of Ajax, and I am expecting this to reach a 2-2 type of final even though each going for the key win of course. Each club will likely be aggressive on the attack here looking to earn the upper hand in the 1st Leg of this playoff round battle. 10* OVER 3 in PFC Ludogorets Razgrad

Rotation #224409: Europa League | Qualifying, Playoff Round | 1st Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 3 in Hacken vs Aberdeen @ 1 ET - The last two meetings between these clubs have averaged 4 goals. The total might seem big but 4 of last 5 Aberdeen matches have totaled at least 3 goals and those 4 matches averaged 4 goals. Also, Hacken has seen 4 of last 5 matches total at least 4 goals and those 4 matches averaged 5 goals. So don't be surprised when we see a lot of scoring in this one based on the current trending of these clubs. Each club will likely be aggressive on the attack here looking to earn the upper hand in the 1st Leg of this playoff round battle. 10* OVER 3 in Hacken

Rotation #224213: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -140 in Maccabi Haifa vs Young Boys Bern @ 3 ET - Both these clubs are so strong on the attack. I am looking for a 2-2 final here in the 1st of this battle similar to what we saw in the Rangers/Eindhoven battle last night. The value here of just needing a 3 here for a win is a bargain the way I see it - even at the -140 price. Both these clubs have been scoring plenty of goals but also have not been immune to conceding in their own zone as well. Maccabi Haifa is an Israeli powerhouse and will be aggressive on their home pitch here as they enter this match having scored an average of 3.5 goals in the last 8 victories which have been part of a rock solid 8-1 stretch! As for Young Boys Bern, they have been a strength in Switzerland again and are racking up goals. They are undefeated this season with 2 wins and 2 draws thus far in Swiss Super League action and they averaged scoring 2.5 goals per match during this hot start! They have allowed 1.5 goals in these 4 matches. Also, Maccabi Haifa has allowed a goal in 5 straight matches. So the set up here is perfect for at least a 2-1 final as I look for the Young Boys from Bern to also be aggressive here on the road in hopes of stealing a match on the road in the 1st Leg of this battle. 10* OVER 2.5 -140 in Maccabi Haifa

Rotation #224217: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 -140 in Sporting Braga vs Panathinaikos @ 3 ET - I know the over 2.5 at plus money is very appealing but I prefer the security of the over 2 goals even at a -140 price in case this one lands on two goals. Certainly I am expecting 3 or more as Sporting Braga comes in hot and scoring plenty while Panathinaikos have an edge in that their domestic campaign in Greece has not yet begun so they have been able to fully focus on the continental battles in Europe plus they have the fresher legs here. Of course Sporting Braga has the home pitch edge in this first leg opener and they have been scoring very well both in continental battles and in their early season domestic action in Portugal. Overall, Sporting Braga has scored an average of 3 goals per match their last 4 matches. Panathinaikos has scored 1.8 goals per match last 4 matches and neither club has been shutout in any of its last 5 matches. Look for that trend of each club scoring to continue here in this one! 10* OVER 2 -140 in Sporting Braga

Rotation #224205: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals -115 in Rangers FC vs PSV Eindhoven @ 3 ET - These clubs, ironically, also met last August and the Rangers hung on to win 3-2 on the aggregate and advance. This is a tough Eindhoven club out for revenge and will do everything they can to get the edge on the road in this one. However, Rangers will be tough at home and last year the 1st Leg finished a 2-2 match and I would not be surprised at all to see a repeat. Eindhoven is so strong up front but is dealing with injury concerns on the back line. You know the Rangers will be pumped at home in Glasgow, Scotland and will look to take full advantage of that but this Eindhoven club playing with revenge is going to be tough to stop. This entire set-up should lead to plenty of goals here. The Rangers have scored 2.2 goals per match in their last 9 matches across all competitions. Eindhoven has averaged scoring 2.3 goals per match over their last dozen matches across all competitions. Looking for a 2-2, or at least, 2-1 type of match here. 10* OVER 2.5 -115 in Rangers FC

Rotation #224291: Champions League | Playoffs | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +105 in Royal Antwerp vs AEK Athens @ 3 ET - Antwerp has injuries at the goalie position and the back line. This is not a good combo when facing an Athens club rolling with confidence after a huge comeback victory. However, the issue for Athens is also a propensity for allowing goals. So, while their attack is confident and should enjoy success here considering the circumstances for Antwerp guarding the cage, the fact is that Athens is going to struggle to stop Antwerp from having success on their home pitch on the attack. The hosts definitely want to get the edge before heading to Athens for the 2nd Leg of this one and I feel strongly that all of the above sets the stage for a very entertaining battle in this one. Also, 5 straight Athens matches have totaled at least 3 goals and Antwerp has scored at least 1 goals in 7 straight matches as a host and has averaged scoring 2.3 goals per match in those 7 on their home pitch. More of the same here. 10* OVER 2.5 +105 in Royal Antwerp

Rotation #200077: English Premier League: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Crystal Palace vs Arsenal @ 3 ET - Crystal Palace off a 1-0 win but should have had much more. Even against a tough Arsenal club that really took the London Derby matches seriously last season, I do expect Palace to score at least once. However, Arsenal is certainly favored here with good reason and they did score an average of 2 goals per match on the road last season! In other words, you can see why I am fully expecting a 2-1 type match here. Adding to the support for this one is that Arsenal is off a 2-1 win and has scored an average of 2.2 goals in last 4 matches across all competitions. Crystal Palace has scored at least 1 goal in 7 straight matches across all competitions and has actually averaged 2 goals scored per match during this stretch. Also, the last 5 meetings between these two have averaged 3.6 goals and 4 of the 5 totaled at least 3 goals. This one is set up perfectly to get to at least 3 as well because both clubs are off games where they should have had much more and Arsenal was up 2-0 and took their foot off the gas and it nearly cost them in the 2-1 final so I feel the visitors will force a very aggressive style here as a result. 10* OVER 2.5 in Crystal Palace

Rotation #206961: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -120 in Universitatea Cluj vs CFR Cluj @ 2:30 ET - Even though we have to lay some extra juice to have the over 2 goals it is a big value to have the over set at 2 goals in a match in the Romania Liga 1 action. So far this season, 33 of 43 matches have totaled at least 2 goals! Also, all 5 Universitatea Cluj matches so far this season have totaled at least 2 goals. Additionally, prior to a 1-0 loss to FCSB last week, 5 straight CFR Cluj matches across all competitions had totaled at least 2 goals! This is a rivalry match with these two clubs from Cluj certainly not liking one another but that didn't stop goals from being scored last season as the first meeting totaled 3 goals and then the next one topped that at 4 goals! You can see why I am expecting each club to score at least once here and then, in terms of a draw, note that CFR Cluj has had just one this season in four matches. Last season, in the regular season portion of 30 matches, CFR Cluj had just 3 draws. Being a rivalry, neither club wants to just settle for a draw either. You can see why, as a result, I am expecting a 2-1 type of match here. 10* OVER 2 goals -120 in Universitatea Cluj

Rotation #206969: Romania Liga 1: Monday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -115 in Sepsi vs Hermannstadt @ 11:30 AM ET - Even though Sepsi has not been allowing many goals in league action and is off a 1-0 win in Europa Conference League action, that most recent win was preceded by B2B 1-1 draws in Sepsi's last two matches across all competitions. Overall, Sepsi has scored at least 1 goal in 7 straight matches across all competitions and has averaged 2 goals scored in last 6 matches. That said, the value of a 2 as the posted total on this one is big. I certainly do not expect a rested Hermannstadt club to be complacent here as their match last week was postponed so they have fresh legs for this one and they are off a 1-0 shutout loss that was preceded by B2B wins in which they scored a combined 5 goals. Overall though, Hermannstadt has allowed at least 1 goal in 5 straight matches. So they bounce back on the attack here but also struggle to contain Sepsi. Also note that each of the last 5 matches between these clubs has seen each club score at least 1 goal in every single match and these 5 matches have averaged 3 goals apiece. More of the same on tap here given the unique scheduling situation too. 10* OVER 2 goals -115 in Sepsi

Rotation #206989: Romania Liga 1: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -125 in FCSB vs Poli Iasi @ 2:30 ET - FCSB is 4-0 this season and scoring an average of 2 goals per match. Poli Iasi has lost 4 of 5 matches so this is a classic case of hot versus not in this one. Poli Iasi is in the basement of the league standings but at least they have mostly provided entertaining matches for those of us that enjoy a lot of scoring. 3 of last 4 matches have totaled at least 4 goals. Also, if you like historical value, in the last 5 matches between these teams over the past 5 years, all 5 have totaled at least 3 goals and those matches have averaged 4 goals apiece. More of the same likely here as FCSB should be relentless on their home pitch after they just got knocked out of the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Having struggled in those matches against FC Nordsjaelland, note this did follow a stretch in which they had averaged scoring 2 goals per match their last 6 across all competitions. They will bounce back here but also note that Poli Iasi has scored at least 1 goal in 3 of last 4 matches as they have adjusted to life in the top tier after their promotion for this season. They still lose here but whether it is 2-1 or 3-1 or even a 3-0 shutout, I am expecting at least 3 goals in this one given the hunger of FCSB here. 10* OVER 2.5 -125 in FCSB

Rotation #200073: English Premier League: Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in West Ham United vs Chelsea @ 11:30 AM ET - Both clubs are coming off 1-1 draws last week in which each club definitely felt (and it is true!) that they deserved better. That said, you you are going to see an extra push from each club in this one plus, keep in mind, Chelsea lost a key defender to injury as Reece James got hurt. Chelsea was more aggressive in their style against Liverpool last week and deserved more than a draw and the possession battle also was won by West Ham in their match last week. The Hammers are now at home and will be even more determined here and they have a good history of scoring goals on their home pitch as it is has been a long time since they have failed to make the net ripple on their home pitch. At the same time, Chelsea is favored with good reason of course. That said, looking for at least a 2-1 final here. Chelsea's last 5 matches across all competitions averaged 1.8 goals apiece. West Ham has seen their last 5 matches across all competitions average a total of 4.4 goals. Don't be surprised if this one indeed gets to 4 goals but certainly 3 is a strong probability.  10* OVER 2.5 in West Ham United 

Rotation #206973: Romania Liga 1 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 -105 in Rapid Bucuresti vs Farul Constanta @ 11:15 AM ET - Rapid got hammered 7-2 in the last meeting between these clubs. They enter this match struggling and Farul comes in confident after knocking off Flora by a combined 5-0 count to advance in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Farul has scored an average of 2.6 goals per match last 7 matches across all competitions. However, they also have conceded 3 goals in each of last two matches in Romania Liga 1 action. As for Rapid, they are off a 2-0 loss to Petrolul Ploiesti but, prior to this had scored an average of 2 goals per match in the 3 matches before that. The hosts will be strong here on their home pitch and asking for at least a 2-1 final here is really not asking too much. Farul has not had a draw yet and I expect each club to score so, outside of a draw (of which Farul has not had one), this one is indeed getting to a 2-1 final at a minimum. 10* OVER 2.5 -105 in Rapid Bucuresti

Rotation #206977: Romania Liga 1: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 +125 in FC Voluntari vs Dinamo Bucuresti @ 2:45 ET - It use to be that Dinamo dominated this series with Voluntari. However, Voluntari is surely favored for a reason here in their home venue, a suburb of Bucuresti where Dinamo plays. So Voluntari may not even have a true home edge here but I like the fact that they are off a 3-1 loss. They have been playing better this season and dating back to the way they wrapped up last season and this is a confident group that can score goals. However, Dinamo has scored an average of 2 goals per match in the last 5 meetings between these clubs. Also, Dinamo has some added confidence here coming off their first win of the new campaign. Off that win last week, Dinamo brings a little extra edge to this one but they had allowed an average of 2 goals per match in their first 4 matches this season. Voluntari has seen 4 of their 5 matches total at least 3 goals this season so don't let this total of 2.5 keep you away. The plus money on this total at 2.5 is a nice added bonus and their 5 matches this season have averaged 3.4 goals apiece. Indeed, we should see 3 or 4 goals scored here. 10* OVER 2.5 +125 in FC Voluntari

Rotation #200061: English Premier League: Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 3 goals in Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United @ 12:30 ET - Tottenham is playing an attacking style under new management. That is why, even though Harry Kane is gone and went to Bayern in Germany, the Hotspur can still be expected to score plenty of goals. One thing that is not impressive about Tottenham is their back line. They allowed 2 goals last week and I expect more struggles this week. Although Manchester United is off a 1-0 victory last week, they allowed many attacking chances and arguably should have conceded a late penalty kick that was not awarded either. The point is that Man U is off a 1-0 win but should have allowed some scoring. At the same time, they are well aware of the new style of Tottenham and will look to take advantage here by being aggressive with their own attack in this one. We'll ride these edges in a match that would not surprise me if it ended up another 2-2 draw involving the Hotspur. This is their new style and Man U, by virtue of being on the road for this one, will struggle to try and change the flow of this one and they know they will be better suited doing plenty of attacking of their own. As a result, we should see a very high-scoring match here. 10* OVER 3 in Tottenham

Rotation #200041: English Premier League: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals +120 in Nottingham Forest vs Sheffield United @ 2:45 ET - Excellent line value here because Sheffield United allowed only 1 goal last week but they allowed 24 shots and the damage could have been much worse. As for Nottingham Forest they allowed 2 goals early in their match and then the Arsenal club that led them big simply took their foot off the gas. The point is that both these clubs could have given up more last week and we have a great value with a low total in a match I am pegging for, at a minimum, a 2-1 final. Sheffield will be much more aggressive on the attack after a dismal effort in their first match but this will expose them to the counterattack and the newly promoted side will struggle to stop the hosts here. Remember that Nottingham Forest was very strong on their home pitch last season. That continues here. There has not been a clean sheet in any of the last four meetings between these clubs. Also, the last two meetings each totaled 3 goals. Look for a similar 2-1 result here. 10* OVER 2.5 goals +120 in Nottingham Forest

Rotation #206981: Romania Liga 1: Friday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 goals in Universitatea Craiova vs UTA @ 2:30 ET - UTA manager Mircea Rednic is expecting a wide open match here. I am expecting plenty of scoring here because the confidence of Universitatea Craiova is also growing week by week. They have now won B2B matches and are coming off a 4-1 win over Poli Iasi. They have won 3 matches and drawn 2 this season and the hosts, other than one scoreless draw, have averaged scoring 2 goals per match in their other 4 matches! UTA has an unimpressive record but they come into this match well-rested and they are a dangerous dog for Universitatea Craiova to face here. Don't be surprised if UTA puts the pressure on the hosts early in this one. The two meetings last season each totaled 3 goals and they have scored at least 1 goal in all 4 matches this season. Also, prior to a shutout win in their most recent match two weeks ago, UTA had allowed an average of 2 goals per match in the first three matches this season. Of course, Universitatea Craiova is a huge favorite for a reason here. UTA, dating back to last season also, has scored at least 1 goal in 5 straight matches and 10 of last 11. Look for at least a 2-1 final here given all of the above. 10* OVER 2.5 goals in Universitatea Craiova

Rotation #224449: Europa League | Third Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Ludogorets Razgrad vs Astana @ 2 ET - The hosts are down 2-1 in this one after dropping the first leg at Astana. That means Razgrad must be aggressive on the attack here but they also did blow a 1-0 lead at Astana in the first leg. The fact Astana outscored them 2-0 after being down 1-0 gives the visitors plenty of confidence here. They will be able to attack with confidence. As for Razgrad, they will have the feeling no lead is safe. That means they should continue to pile it on if given the opportunity and, of course, they are a big home favorite here for a reason. If the hosts get up 2-0 they would still be just 1 goal conceded from being tied up again on the aggregate. That said, I expect the hosts to be relentless on the attack but that will allow the visitors the opportunity to find the back of the net at least once also. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here in this one as a result. 10* OVER 2.5 in Ludogorets Razgrad

Rotation #224443: Europa League | Third Qualifying Round | 2nd Leg: Thursday 10* Top Play OVER 2.5 in Helsinki vs Qarabag @ Noon ET - The hosts are down 2-1 in this one after dropping the first leg at Qarabag. That means Helsinki must be aggressive on the attack here but they have issues with injuries to their backline and at goalkeeper. Qarabag has been scoring well in recent action with putting 2 or more goals on the board in 5 of last 7 matches across all competitions. However, Helsinki should score their fair share here at home as well as they must go for it and they have a respectable offensive attack as well. Looking for at least a 2-1 final here in this one as a result. 10* OVER 2.5 in Helsinki

2023 UEFA Super Cup Wednesday OVER 2.5 goals -145 in Manchester City vs Sevilla @ 3 ET - Manchester City got their confidence rolling again with an easy 3-0 win over Burnley to open up the new Premier League season. However, they certainly want to also carry that momentum right into this match and earn some more hardware by knocking off Sevilla in a battle for the UEFA Super Cup! The fact is, however, Sevilla is known for being a tough customer in these European competitions. Manchester City is certainly well aware of this but they have dominated recent meetings and should leave no doubt here. Each of the last 4 meetings between these clubs have totaled at least 3 goals and the 2 that were just this past season in Champions League action each totaled 4 goals! More of the same likely here as Sevilla has some issues with their back line right now but also has scored at least 1 goal in 12 straight matches across all competitions. Of course, City is favored here for a reason. So, given the above, you can see why I am expecting a 2-1 or 3-1 type match here. Also, if it is Manchester City's night and everything falls into place, don't be surprised if they get to this total all by themselves. They have scored an average of 3 goals in the last 4 meetings between these clubs. OVER 2.5 -145 in Manchester City (this match will be played at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece)

Rotation #224221: Champions League | Third Qualifying Round | 1st Leg: Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER 2 goals -125 in Dinamo Zagreb vs AEK Athens @ 2 ET - This is a first leg match because the original one was postponed. Now the teams are meeting for the first leg in Croatia instead of Greece. Dinamo Zagreb is certainly favored here for a reason but there be plenty of passion from the travelers as Athens will have plenty of intensity after what transpired in Greece that forced the postponement of the match. That said, I feel we have strong odds of at least a 2-1 final here. The match alignments this two clubs are talking about heading into this one also will be conducive to attacking options and counterattacking. The fact there is some 2 out there on this one is certainly an added bonus that is too good to pass up. That means we need 2 goals to insure we do not suffer a loss in this one and certainly I like the odds on that given the situation here as well as the attacking capabilities of each of these clubs. 10* OVER 2 goals -125
