    Cameroon vs. Tunisia (+.5)

    I really think Eto is a man who can change this game .. Him being a doubt is worth a warrant... Before I pull the trigger on them I will check after lineups are posted....

    With that being said, as bad as Cameroon has played to date in the tournament a tie would not guarantee anything, therefore must come through with a big win... Tunisia on the other with their young guns will battle, but I think will come up short

    My lean is Cameroon (-.5) depending on the status of Eto

    What do people think about the At Madrid game. They are -1.5 (-250 ML) in the quarters vs. Celta Vigo???

    Anyone see a reason why At Madrid doesn't take this one??

    Atletico has been very very impressive after Quique Sánchez Flores took the job as a head coach. And I believe they will take this one seriously, because their chances to champion's league spot in primera are probably gone, so copa del rey might save their season. Atletico have a healthy squad, they have huge home advantage (vicente calderon will be full). If they do not underestimate Celta, like Villareal did, it is very hard to find any reason why atletico would not defeat celta. odds are pretty awful though. Atletico -handicap does not sound goot either, because celta will probably concentrate on protecting their own goal. They might start fast and try to score an important away goal in first few minutes, but if they do not succeed, they will probably draw back and do only some occasional counter attacks.

    Thanks a lot for the response ... so you think to stay clear from moneyline? I just feel like 250 isnt horrible for a game against Celta

    It is just me... I usually do not bet low football odds. Too many unpredictable factors, especially in domestic cups, in which lower league teams seem to find quite often "extra something" against top teams. Although I'm not sure if this is the case with Celta, because they were themselves a top team few years back and do not necessarily feel this "David and Goliath" -thing. Also one lucky goal or goalkeeper's night of his life might change the course of the whole game. But I guess it's pretty much the same in every sport.

    If you feel that odds are decent, you really should go for it. As we discussed earlier, everything points to a direction that Atletico is a safe bet, but I just feel that I have seen too many "Wow, who would have thought that!" -results in domestic cups.

    I see the consensus on here is At Madrid over .. anyone have a reasonable argument as to why?

    Locked in so far:

    Zambia @ Gabon (+135 ML) - 1 unit
    Still waiting on the status of Eto, but I am locking in Camerron regardless

    Tunisia @ Cameroon (-.5 -130) - 1 unit
