Saturday On the Pitch EPL:
Everton/Manchester United DRAW (+258)
Everton led by team USA goalie and former Man Utd keeper Tim Howard will go balls out here. United starts Champions League play on Tuesday vs. Rangers (Glasgow, Scotland).
Fulham/Wolves DRAW (+262)
Blackburn Rovers (+1') (-129)
City comes off a devastating loss to Sunderland. Batoelli is out 4-6 wks. Tevez is also out, but it's a wash since Emanuel Adebayor, their best striker even though Roberto Mancini doesn't realize it or won't admit it, will get his first start. City also starts Europa play on Thursday. I think they win by only 1.
Newcastle (-1) (-106)
Blackpool has exceeded expectations with four points already. Complacency may set in here.
West Ham United (+1') (-110)
Taking your life in your hands here going against Chelsea. West Ham is arguably the worst team in the Premiership right now and Avram Grant, a good manager by the way, is on the hot seat. Chelsea has a Champions League match on Wednesday so there is a possible lookahead. Grant is crafty and may play it real conservative here.
Sunderland (PK) (+120)
Wigan/Sunderland UN 2 & 2' (+102)
Asamoah Gyan of the Ghana WC team has signed with Sunderland. Wigan comes off the high of pulling the biggest upset in the EPL so far this year by beating Tottenham 1-0 on the road. Wigan comes back to earth here.
