Hopefully the Red Sox hold on and finish off a very impressive week for me. With a Red Sox W, I will finish the week at +855, with a record of 51-41-7. So here comes a new week, and some new challenges, so let's start the week off making some early cash.
World Cup action has been my bread and butter. On Monday, we got France - Nigeria and Algeria - Germany..
France is a -1 favorite at the price of -135. If you take them ML you can get it right now at -220. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see that price go up before the match kicks off tomorrow. This French squad has quite possibly the best midfield of all the teams in the tournament. Matuidi, Mavuba, Valbuena, Pogba, Sissoko, Griezzman, Cabaye and Schneiderlin. Offensively, they have Benzema who is having a good tournament, as well as Olivier Giroud and Remy. With that said, they have a lot off offensive options, while defensively, they are solid as well.
Nigeria on the other hand is not all that great, and had Bosnia not had a clean goal disallowed, the Nigerian's would have probably already been home. Their main players are Mikel, who isn't all that great in my opinion, and Emineke up top. Their goalkeeper Enyeama is all one of the main figures in the squad, and he should be VERY busy on Monday. He plays in the French League, so he will also be familiar with most of these players. While they are quick and athletic, when it comes to footballing ability, they are in a clear mismatch with the French.
This French squad came under serious fire having had to go through a play-off against Ukraine to get through to the tournament. But since that, they have looked very confident in this tournament. They move the ball well, and they tend to create a lot of opportunities.
I don't see Nigeria holding them down. The spread (-1) at -135 looks like a good option, and I will also play the ML in a parlay.
As for props in this game, I like 2 or 3 goals at +100, France to score first at -275. Once it gets closer to game time, I'll post my final picks for this game...
In regards to Baseball picks, at a quick glance, I'm thinking: Red Sox, Angels, Possibly Tigers... Royals..
