  • Brighton +6000

  • Aston Villa +11,000

Analysis

I don’t like laying that big a line to take City. I like some “field bets” with bigger upside. So I am taking odds on 1 of 4 teams to beat out Man City.

To Finish Bottom

Lines per myBookie 8/10/23

  • Luton Town +166

  • Sheffield United +255

  • Wolves +880

  • Bournemouth +1125

Analysis

I think Luton Town surprises people with style of play. Sheffield United is not investing to stay up.

To Be Relegated

Analysis All 3 clubs stayed up last year. This year’s odds say only 1 stay up. I think Sheffield United goes down. Luton could surprise everyone and stay up. Who are the other 2 clubs to go down? I think Everton will be in the running again and like the +226 Odds.

Lines per myBookie 8/10/23

  • Newcastle -156

  • BHA +490

  • Aston Villa +780

  • West Ham +1375

Analysis

Can Newcastle and BHA handle the added volume of Europe? Villa has a manager who had dealt with that.

Next Manager to Leave

Lines per SportingNews 8/10/23

  • Moyes, W Ham 4:1

  • Heckingbottom, SU 9:2

  • Cooper, Forest 11:2

  • Postecoglu, Tot 8:1

  • Dyche, Everton 9:1

  • Edwards, LT 9:1

  • Silva, Fulham 12:1

Analysis

Moyes and W Ham are not on the same page. Ownership has declined several requests to buy players and it's like they are setting Moyes up to fail. I suspect they already have a replacement in mind.

Match Week 1 CS Best Bets

Burnley host Man City

So many reasons to think Burnley will ride their momentum, home turf advantage and City will come in hungover and overconfident. Former City Captain and current Burnley Manager, Vincent Kompany, knows Pep and what to expect, but…..here are some facts:

  • MC have won 11 straight, 40 goals to 1.

  • In the last 23 league matches between the two clubs Burnley is 0W 16L 6D.

That continues. Only City scores and total goals go over 2.5 +228

Bournemouth host West Ham

I don't see Bournemouth firing on all cylinders out of the game in their new system, nor do I see West Ham going on the road and dominating. I just can’t decide who will win this - so I’m taking the odds on the draw.

Draw +239

Chelsea host Liverpool

Liverpool has been waiting all off season to show last season was a hiccup, and Klopp will have been preparing for a fast start this season. Chelsea is going to get better, but they have a lot of “new” to get used to. I don’t think playing at Stamford Bridge is enough for Chelsea to start the season.

Liverpool to Win +137

Newcastle host Villa

High expectations in Newcastle, but I think Villa has one of the best defensive/controlling teams in the PL and I like +105 odds for villa to Win or Draw.
