I picked out two nice plays on the board tomorrow by dogs who are poised to upset some teams via the letdown effect.
Sunderland:
Villa just came off of a physical, draining win away against Manchester on Saturday. Sunderland played to a 1-1 draw against Pompey which I'm sure took next to no energy because well...it's Pompey. They're now hosting Villa, a notoriously bad road team, on three days rest. Expect Sunderland to come out and at least grab a draw here.
West Ham:
I picked Bolton to draw or win against Man City on Saturday due to City's horrendous road form, and lo and behold, the Wanderers pulled out the upset. Now they're poised to sh*t the bed against a West Ham squad who is just as hungry for a win as Bolton is. +129 for Bolton, the 19th place team on the table?? I know West Ham isn't great and Bolton at home, but pre-season projections show a huge favor for West Ham. Expect that advantage to be regained tomorrow.
