1. Nottingham Forest pk (+121) @ Wigan - So far this year, my opinion of Wigan is that they are a poor side. So far they've had wins at home against Blackpool and Birmingham (two teams near the bottom), and a losses to quite a few middle teams. Nottingham are top of the table, but because they haven't performed in their last three games, I'm skeptical about playing the ML.
2. Blackburn Rovers ML (+164) @ Rotherham United - So far Blackburn has been good against the bad, and bad against the good. Rotherham had a good home win against Wolverhampton, but haven't looked too good against the rest of the field.
3. Watford ML (+105) vs Brentford - Yes, I know I lost with them last time. I took a minute to look at the website and noticed they've got a new coach. Their previous coach was in the hospital during my last bet on them, which might explain a slight skid lately. If there's an emotional skid, I'd expect it to end. Regardless, I still think Watford has a better team than Brentford.
4. Barcelona ML (-102) @ PSG - I haven't posted anything outside of the English Championship yet, but here goes. I'll admit that Barcelona has yet to face a notable challenge this year, where PSG has at least played Ajax. What figures for me with this game is PSG. A 5-0 win hosting St. Etienne is a huge plus. So we look at the rest of the schedule so far. Undefeated, isn't that a great sign? Not really. Draws against Reims, Evian TG, Rennes, Lyon, and Toulouse (last week). Of these, only Rennes is a part of the Top Half of the table, and of other two wins, only Caen rest in the top. PSG hasn't been cleaning house, but Barcelona have. Since the game isn't a pick, I'll have to settle for a -1/2 or ML pick.
