And just when things were looking grim, we get a penalty in the dying minutes... talk about perfect timing.
👍

I can't help but wonder why the odds are sitting so high on 😕 a win for the underdog at 🤷

The matchup is Mladá Boleslav versus the visiting side from

Drew Wright said:I might also add this:
The matchup between Sapporo (2.5) and Nagoya—I'm looking at the Over @ 1.55. Sapporo has been struggling quite a bit lately; they’ve managed just one win and a single draw in their last sixteen outings, and historically, when these two meet, we almost always see goals:
Nagoya G vs. Consadole Sapporo 3:1
Nagoya G vs. Consadole Sapporo 2:1
Nagoya G vs. Consadole Sapporo 3:1
Consadole Sapporo vs. Nagoya G 1:3
Looking at the current situation:
-SAPPORO

Injuries and absences: Takayanagi, Lee Ho Seung, Takaki, Kondo, Nakayama, T-Takahara

Suspensions: None

Doubtful: Yokono, Maeda, Hikichi

-NAGOYA

Injuries and absences: Isomura, Kennedy, Nagai, M-Takahara, Nakamura, Tamada

Suspensions: None

Doubtful: None

My only real hesitation is that Nagoya is missing three key attackers; I suppose we'll just have to hope someone else steps up to find the back of the net.🤷

The Over hit within the 90 minutes.😁

Nicholas Chase34 said:A little early Saturday morning double header:
12:00 Kashiwa vs. Cerezo Osaka
pick: Home Win @ 1.65 US Odds

Cerezo Osaka is dealing with some significant absences, missing four key starters: Kempes up front (18 games / 3 goals), Ogihara in defense (17 games / 1 goal), Bo Kyung in the midfield (15 games / 7 goals), and Yamaguchi also in the middle (18 games).

12:00 Kobe vs. G-Osaka
pick: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50 US Odds

I’m leaning toward this one based purely on the historical rivalry between these two clubs; in their last seven meetings, they’ve consistently cleared this line, often even pushing past the 3.5 mark.
03.10.12 MLS G-Osaka Kobe 2 : 3
08.28.11 MLS Kobe G-Osaka 0 : 4
07.13.11 MLS G-Osaka Kobe 3 : 2
10.30.10 MLS G-Osaka Kobe 2 : 4
07.28.10 MLS Kobe G-Osaka 1 : 3
09.12.09 MLS G-Osaka Kobe 3 : 2
04.26.09 MLS Kobe G-Osaka 3 : 1

Given how G-Osaka typically plays, I don't think I need to elaborate much further than that. 🤷☕

If I may add to that:
Sapporo vs. Nagoya - Over 2.5 @ 1.55 - Sapporo has been struggling quite significantly lately, managing just one win and one draw against sixteen losses in their recent head-to-head matchups, all of which saw the over hit:
Nagoya G vs. Consadole Sapporo 3:1
Nagoya G vs. Consadole Sapporo 2:1
Nagoya G vs. Consadole Sapporo 3:1
Consadole Sapporo vs. Nagoya G 1:3
All things considered:
-SAPPORO

out or injured: Takayanagi, Lee Ho Seung, Takaki, Kondo, Nakayama, T-Takahara

suspended: none

doubtful: Yokono, Maeda, Hikichi

-NAGOYA

out or injured: Isomura, Kennedy, Nagai, M-Takahara, Nakamura, Tamada

suspended: none

doubtful: none

My only real hesitation is that Nagoya is missing three attacking players; hopefully, someone else steps up to find the back of the net. 🤷

Kenneth Ward said:Today:

Durant over 27.5 @ SS
He’s consistently reliable against top-tier teams, though he looked a bit off during that Memphis matchup, so I’m anticipating some redemption today.

Garnett over 15.5 @ SS
The seasoned veteran should see increased minutes given how crucial this game is, which naturally translates to more attempts from the field.

Nowitzki over 24.5 @ SS
The German powerhouse needs to step up if Dallas has any hope of walking away with a win.

Bryant over 28.5 @ SS
After dropping 42 points in his last road outing against the Clippers, he’ll likely push hard—especially if Bynum is sidelined. There might even be an over worth looking at for Pau Gasol.

Good luck to everyone. 🙂

I don't mean to be a contrarian, but I'm leaning towards Bryant going under tonight. This is their fourth game in five days, Bynum is likely out, and frankly, I suspect they might drop this one. Gasol has been seeing more playing time than usual lately, and I wouldn't be surprised if Bryant decides not to force things too much tonight.
Regardless of where we land... good luck!👍

Real tends to give up goals even against the underdogs—teams like Osasuna, Real Sociedad, CSKA, or Betis. My hunch is that Real will field a different lineup this time, perhaps throwing in guys like Varane, Granero, or Nuri, just to prove they’re ready for the starting XI by keeping a clean sheet. 🙂
As for Chelsea vs. Benfica, I’m expecting a pretty tight, cagey affair. Even though Benfica likes to play an attacking style, I really doubt we'll see more than three goals in total here.
Apoel to fail to score: 1.50
Chelsea/Under 3.5 - Benfica: No @ 1.50
Odds: 2.2500

Aldridge-21.... I simply adore this 🙂🙂

Sean Sullivan87 said:This Aldridge is absolutely tearing it up tonight... an over bet from out of nowhere.
Spoja saw him with less than Kobe Bryant and Lakers 2

Well, I wouldn't say he's exactly killing it when he's shooting 2/8; I'd be more inclined to say Carmelo Anthony has finally found his rhythm.

Boston-Orlando-2
MartineKev(dk)-Westbrook-1
Minnesota(196,5)-Houston-Over
Philly/DC(103,5)-Philly-Over
Pierce(18,5)-Over

System:7/8

Note:Right before I stepped into the sportsbook, my left palm started itching quite a bit.😁

I’m just sitting here waiting for the moment Miami finally decides to explode and pull away by a massive 10 or 15 points 🙂

Hannah Collins2 said:Good grief... this is just unbelievable. I mean, what kind of amateur hour is this? It’s absolutely disastrous. Honestly, I should have just gone to bed; I'm so wound up by this mess that sleep feels like a distant possibility. Between Miami playing at 1.20 odds, the Bucks, and the sportsbook... it's all just a complete shambles.

I suppose I'll be watching this unfold.
Stake: High 😁

With Bogut sidelined, I suppose we’re just left hoping LeBron can carry the weight of the game on his shoulders... 🙂

Honestly, they look absolutely exhausted out there; it’s hard to watch them play this poorly, though I suppose fatigue is finally catching up to them.

Come on, Heat!
Let's go Heat! 😁

Daniel Robinson5 said:Nash is sitting there with just four points on the board, and honestly, he doesn't even seem interested in taking a shot himself. Instead, he’s just out there feeding the ball to the big man and letting him handle the heavy lifting. 😢

Why isn't this team sitting at 6-0? Honestly, the only one out there actually showing any life is Marcin Gortat.

Casey Brooks86 said:Jennings was absolutely on fire 😁
scoring 17 points by halftime

Ziher got the memo 😁 ,but what about Nash? 🙂

Arthur Hill2 said:I'll shoot them a text and let you all know what happens 🙂

I actually tried reaching out to them on Twitter myself... but they haven't given me any kind of response whatsoever 🤷

Does the same logic apply to Nash? 😁 1/4. He didn't exactly put on much of a show out there...

I managed to outpace Gonz + Houston

Jesse Sanchez40 said:Boston is absolutely tearing it up right now; I honestly only managed to pull off a win by pure luck... OKC really needs to get their act together because they're clearly the superior side here.

Toronto better wake up soon, because things are about to get intense...😁

lonedrifter68 said:Miami just collapsed... honestly, what a snooze...

If they keep playing like this, we might actually be looking at their fourth straight loss...☕

Oh, absolutely... Parker is basically tearing them apart out there...
