VfB Stuttgart (-166) is hosting Hamburg SV (+425) in week 7 fixtures, 9/23 2:30p EST.
Draw set at +275, while the total is set at 2.5 OV -182.
The afternoon board is empty for most US sports, so I was looking for a strong lean to play for day action, when I found this GEM.
Vfb Stuttgart has returned home after a road win in Frieburg, two weeks ago.
With the exception of the 0-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in August, Stuttgart has looked good at home handing out 3-0 ass kickings to both Hannover 96 and Schalke 04.
While Hamburg is a very well known club in German soccer, Stuttgart will welcome a decimated Hamburg club that is looking to have one its worse years in a long while.
Hamburg will make the trip to Stuggart with interium coach Rodolfo Esteban Cardoso, after firing head coach Michael Oenning. Hamburg coming off a club friendly a 4-1 road victory of Hallescher FC, only three days ago.
But that victory is about all that's positive to report lately for this club. This is a year of rebuilding for hamburg, they have a lot of younger inexperienced talent particularly on defense.
the Stuttgart defense is proven and looks well. New signing mexican defender Francisco Rodríguez is proving to be a great asset to the Stuttgart defense so far.
The woes of the Hamburg defense will put stress their offense that probably will be lucky to even score, while The Stuttgart offensive is sound! The four powerful attackers of Stuttgart will give the Hamburg defense problems and should put in 2+ goals.
Stuttgart head coach Bruno Labbadia commented on the game plan as, "We must take charge".
"We are playing at home, hopefully in a full house, under floodlights. That will be a great game for the fans. We want to win, control the match, put the pressure on and dominate".

Note: Early odds reports I've read had Stuttgart -1 (-105). I don't know if Intertops is unique in these crumbs or if this line has dropped dramatically across all books. I can find no sources to explain this +money line movement if it's true this line was once at -105
