209889 NYCFC +105 (William Hill)

7:30 pm EDT/4:30 pm PDT (YES, MLS Live, ESPN+, MLS LIVE on DAZN, Star64, FloFC [CIN region only])—Us eog OG’s haven’t picked on expansion FC Cincinnati in some time—so we (me, my tortie Cat and my blue Fish) moved the Manchester City-Tottenham Side pick (MC -1, -112) up a day to make room for this match which sees NYCFC in Cincinnati, not to gorge on delicious Skyline Chili, but to get Money to play a game of Soccer against the Homeboys.

My favorite writer—Hunter S. Thompson—an American icon and Free-thinker from Louisville, Kentucky, (like Muhammad Ali) wrote: “Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”

I miss that that man. He wrote like Mozart composed. Passion is everything. With FC Cincinnati new in the MLS, this is the 2nd-ever meeting ever between the two clubs, with NYCFC (12/1 to win 2018 MLS Cup, Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook; opened 9/1) disposing of FCC, 5-2 at Yankee Stadium on June 6 as Héber (10 Goals) scored twice and Maxi Moralez (6 Goals) had a Goal and 3 Assists in a game which saw NYCFC have 20 Shots with 9 on Target and FCC (1,000/1 to win MLS Cup) score both its Goals from NYCFC Own Goals.

NYCFC (10-9-5) Scored 11 minutes in and then at the 17-minute mark, so expect a similar fast-paced start and the Over is definitely worth consideration in the Totals market. FCC (WLLLLD) has the worst Record and Goal Differential (5-3-17, -32) in the MLS heading in here and are coming off a 3-3 Draw with the Columbus Crew in the first-ever Ohio Derby last weekend. Day-O.

With 4th-place NYCFC (LWWLWL) fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference and familiar with getting a plethora of SOG and Goals (season-high) against expansion club FC Cincy, expecting them to expect a Win and all 3 points here is logical in what could be a high-scoring affair and a match where the Bronx Blues should hit the Total (3o -120, Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook) themselves. Look at you all.

I bet this game early (8 am, Friday) at the SuperBook ($50 USD) and there was a near-fight on Joe Brown Drive, a mean woman behind the Race betting window and more noise than I like at 8 a.m. You get up early to avoid the motherfucking idiots and noise and then soberly remember you live in Sin City and that it’s Idiots and Noise all day long. And getting louder and dumber.

Like JK said on my Talking Box two years ago, “You gotta keep your head on a swivel.” Living and driving and betting in Las Vegas is like constantly playing Soccer with 33 men on the pitch or Pachinko with The Walking Dead all seemingly lost in their own little Smartphone Worlds. And everyone’s looking for a stranger’s car to pick them up and get in. What?

Hustle, bustle, bustle, hustle. Never mind the Humans Beans. Hey look out Larry, I’ll run your ass over too, bruh. Wake up. And pay attention asswipe. You’re not that cool. I’m an angry Buddhist now paying the price for paying attention on a dying planet on the phone 24/7. News at 11:11. I hope we can still bet on Sports in The Afterlife.

Valentin Castellanos (7 Goals), Alexandru Mitrita (6), Alexander Ring (4), Ismael Tajouri-Shradi (4) and New York City Football Club—who were helped into the MLS by a $100 million investment from EPL’s Manchester City FC and MLB’s New York Yankees—are a plus in the 3-way market for this fixture from Nippert Stadium (Act Global UBU Sports Speed M6-M) in Cincinnati, and we’ll gladly take it (expecting the line to rise by kickoff Saturday night).

George Washington’s mother, Mary Ball Washington, didn’t want young Jorge to join the Royal Navy, so we definitely owe her. Shit is the weirdest it’s ever been in Twenty-nineteen, and we don’t need government disclosure to know they’ve known of Aliens-UFO’s forever. We find Truth despite your goofiness.

But I do understand why the Government doesn’t disclose—many people may not even know New Mexico is a US state or be able to point out Egypt on a world map. Those troglodyte, Flat Earth fucks don’t need to know that we’re dead last in The Milky Way Pecking Order and here living in a Human Zoo, subject to having sperm samples taken from emotionless worker bee Greys. Pray you aren’t RH Negative, my fellow Homo Sapien Sapien. And whatever you do, hold on tight to your dreams. My sources say NCAAF starts next week.

FC Cincinnati 1 NYCFC 3

Braves won't have Inciarte, having injured his hamstring last night. But my Braves will be struggling tonight against Ryu. And Foltynewicz will be facing the Dodgers for the 4th time, with a 1-2 record (6.23 ERA).

MLB Dodgers -1.5 (-110) (was +120 at 2AM)

GL and dont mind this juice at all. I think the Chargers play in the SB this year. Most complete team in the NFL

Thanks, based on past history I find it hard to trust Rivers and company in the playoffs, but I would be very surprised if they didn't at least get there

Leicester +0.25 +187

Game is at Chelsea but not sure the right side is favored. I know Chelsea is at home but they are home after 120 minutes in Turkey on Wednesday while Leicester was home resting. MASSIVE Managerial mismatch here between Rodgers of Leicester and Lampard of Chelsea. Leicester has had success its last 2 games in London. Not sure if Leicester wins but not so sure they lose, too.

Updated after Villa/B;mouth ended 2-1 meaning +0.52 units
