Aston Villa ML +110 is probably the smart bet, but can also look at ManU double chance -140, or BTTS yes and over 2.5 goals -110. Both teams have players away on international duty, (ManU has more players gone), so keep that in mind.

Premier League thoughts/ideas tmw am:

Man City odds suck, look at Asian Handicap +2 -115 if that's your thing.

Sunderland Asian Handicap +1 worth a look, or straight ML +425.

Crystal Palace is 5th in PL and are +165 ML vs 17th place Leeds.

Liverpool ML +105

Bournemouth ML not great at -205, consider Asian Handicap -1.25 or BTTS no +100.

Just some random thoughts. My thoughts, your money. Bet wisely.

Real Madrid -170 ML (not great) or -1 Asian Handicap -105 worth a look.

Not seeing many good bets in Premier League today. Looking at English League Championship - Coventry, Birmingham City, Middlesbrough, maybe Wrexham double chance.

Micky - appreciate the Bucknell best bet y'day.

Question: Did Notre Dame get screwed in College Football Playoffs or not? No right or wrong answer, just wondering what folks think.

Double chance on Coventry in English League Championship at -135 is worth a look. Ipswich is solid and the home team, but Coventry has been dominant this season with only one loss. A bet on them at least getting a draw seems OK to me.

Premier League teams are playing lots of games on short rest...fatigue and lineup changes are very possible. That's where BTTS and Asian Handicaps can be good bets.

Could take a flyer on Wolverhampton to get their first win of the season - +225. Or maybe double chance. Risky though.

ML odds for Liverpool and Arsenal suck, so can play Asian Handicap. Arsenal -1.25 and Sunderland +1.5 worth a look for decent odds.

Not seeing much to bet on in soccer.
