Looking ahead to Champions League Matchups

[Small Timer]

Lines are up so might as well discuss them. What's the best pick you see in the field?

Marseille +193
Lyon +220
Man U +111

Not too sure how strong the French teams are in comparison with other European teams, and Benfica should be strong at home, but these lines looks pretty tempting to me.

Milan +1157 worth a shot?
Can I consider Real Madrid -360 a banker? No way they can drop those points to Zagreb is there?

Not as experienced with these European competitions so any insight would be helpful.

both French teams are decent picks, more so Lyon IMO... Lyon is a more successful team in CL and Ajax are beatable.. Marseille looks like a DRAW to me...

MNU looks good too but i wouldnt go big on that...

Milan is waste of money and Real is basically free money...

but wait until the weekends games are over, im looking into CL games only then..

Compounding travel and squad, I think Marseille is a decent play, but I, too, could see it hit as a draw. I may end up playing this.

I like Olympique a tonne in that match up with Ajax.

I like Man U, too, but could see Benefica being a tough squad in Lisbon.

No way this Milan squad beats Barca in Barcelona.

Real should, by all means, be free money against Zagreb, or the Croatian national team, for that matter.

I, too, will be waiting on eyeing these matchups too much until league play is done this weekend. The game I'm looking forward to the most is Shakhtar and Porto. I think that'll be the most fun to watch.

Team to win 2011-12? BARCELONA @ 2.910
Never happened that a team won it two years in a row, but everyone knows that. Just such a ridiculous number when you think about it. Anyway:

Genk - Valencia
FC Porto - Shakhtar Donetsk
APOEL - Zenit
Inter - Trabzonspor
City - Napoli
Villarreal - Bayern

Are the games that I'll be looking in to.
