    Wigan +1.5, +2 vs Arsenal

    Wigan are in excellent form, coming off a win against Man United, getting extremely unlucky vs Chelsea to lose 2-1, and beating Liverpool. At best I think Arsenal will inch out a 1 goal win vs Wigan. Both are fighting for something in the table so it should be a tight game.

    The odds are pretty sharp, but notice how Arsenal are 1.25 instead of 1.1 or worse.

    I had the opposite thinking as you. I think Wigan is overvalued coming off the win against Man U. I think Arsenal knows what they are up against and they will overwhelm Wigan, 4-1

    I already bet on Arsenal -1.5, but GL

    Wigan away form is bad. Arsenal home form is good. Wigan cannot take chances. Arsenal have best chance taker in EPL. Arsenal won las 5 home games. Wigan in good form, but Arsenal have just as much going for them in this one.

    I think goals is a safer bet in this one. Over 3 goals for me. There is no way that even if the books expected arsenal to win they would be 1.1 or less, I don't think anyone this year in the Premiership has been under 1.1, price is about right IMO. If arsenal get an early goal it could be ugly for wigan, I think it will be a 3-1 arsenal type game. GL if you play it

    3-1 loss at Tott, Wigan did not cover.

    So out of the last 5 they covered 4 times, and you call their away form bad?

    No hating dude, I hope you cash your play.

    I look less at Wigan's away form and more at how Arsenal perform against bottom half teams:

    Arsenal beat Bolton 3-0 at Emirates, beat WBA 3-0 at home, Beat Wigan 4-0 away, beat Blackburn 7-1 at home, beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home and just beat Wolves 3-0 on the road.

    Well, that went to hell in a hand basket pretty quick. Lots of time left for us Arsenal backers (sounds good anyway).

    I bet at least Arsenal has hotter fans than Wigan. They win that at least.

    Great call Johon; arsenal bettors got hit hard today. Was thinking Wigan looked better than they were valued but didn't have the confidence. I avoid betting lower half teams because of their unpredictability.

    Great hit though

    Thanks guys, couldn't watch the game but looks like wigan got some justice afterthat chelsea game. That was the biggest reason I liked this spot, nothing motivates athletes more than being pissed off

    Why do you think they were still pissed off? Can't imagine them being pissed when they just beat leader United midweek.

    Anyway grats on the winner.
