I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE
Stoke City this week
Great spot for them. They are DEAD LAST and taking a lot of crap for it - and rightfully so. They have looked like shit all season long. A loss here and their Manager, Mark Hughes, is probably fired (Sacked - the term used in the UK). Stoke lost Wednesday at home to Hull City in the League Cup so now they are more upset than ever.
I have a HUGE "Man Crush" on Tony Pulis. He can turn "chicken feathers" into "chicken salad" and West Brom is fresh off a nice win over West Ham.
But this is all about Stoke. I think we get a "Super Bowl" effort from them Saturday It won't be easy - it never is at Stoke, but this is a GREAT spot for them and I feel very confident they win

Winky you make some great points. One thing I'll note, from experience: betting against a Tony Pulis team is one of the most excruciating experiences in sport. If WBA score a goal, the bunkering you'll see is unmatched, even from a Mourinho side.

A few games stand out for me this week:
Leicester City @ Man United (-156): a LOT of heat on Mourinho right now. He absolutely needs the 3 points here, or the cries from Man U fans will get louder. Leicester have struggled somewhat this year, but so have Man U. I'm expecting some scoring in this match.
Pick: OVER 2.5 (-120).
Tottenham (+105) @ Boro: Tottenham lose Harry Kane for a couple months. Tough times for them, with Dembele, Dier, and Rose all doubts, and backup striker Vincent Janssen has struggled since his transfer. Boro have been just ok. I think Tottenham will play well, even with a slightly different looking and likely rotated side (and also facing a must-win midweek tie with CSKA Moscow). They have brought in depth, and their depth is still far better than Boro.
Pick: Tottenham (+105).
Chelsea @ Arsenal (+132): Arsenal have not looked great this year. They have serious injury issues, and fans as usual are disgusted with Wenger. Major pressure to win this week in a London derby, and I like Chelsea to take all 3 points.
Pick: Chelsea (+210).

100% agree. If West Brom scores first you are in deep trouble. He "parks the bus" better than anyone i have ever seen. but lately their games have seen more scoring and at Stoke - where winds almost always seem to play havoc on teams - maybe a crazy wind will help the home team
As for Totty @ Boro: Boro has done very well hosting Spurs. Think this one ends 1-1
Agree on Leicester/Man U O2.5
No clue on Chelsea/Arsenal because I have no idea which team will show up. For both sides.

Fantastic showing from Mata.
Hoping Chelsea grab a W here for a perfect Prem Saturday morning for me.

Horrific mistake.
Arsenal 2nd goal was a thing of beauty.

Maybe a good thing I passed. Line goes thru roof, to -32.
Louisville scores early on 71-yd TD. Will LOUIS have a drive that doesn't end in score, while Jackson is in game?

A "Tony Pulis-like" goal. A header in 91st minute on a set piece off a corner kick that had to have made Stoke boss Mark Hughes furious
