I kinda missed the part that the first game for this round was on Friday and had very little to no time to go through all the games.
I had in place two upsets in the Spanish League but it wasn't Barca nor Villareal's win, so it was over for me.
Anyway, posting my selections for purely statistical reasons...
home wins: Real Sociedad, Milan, Middlesbrough, Liverpool
draws: Sevilla, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Roma
away wins: Real Madrid, Manchester United, Lyon, Barcelona, Benfica, Lazio, Porto
7/8

I also have the Suns in my 4 team parlay as i took the ML straight away. I expect fatigue to be a huge factor for Grizzlies and their performance today. The rest of the games that i have are, Heat ML - no Butler for the home side but i think they can manage to win without him, more shots for Herro and Dragic off the bench i suppose. Cavs and Wolves O 213.5, Wiggins is back, no Love and Thompson...hopefully this hits. And last i have the Lakers ML at the half. Total odds 4.28  edit; Cavs gonna blew the over, 0/4 3pt and 41% Fg after 1st quarter (44 total points) pfff /// final score ( 103-118) edit2; Suns getting destroyed at home, trailing by 19pts to start the 4th, so much for being tired in back-to-back games |

Saints are playing with fire here! Brees shouldn't have forced that long pass, their run game is shit so far with Kamara and Murray combined for less 20 yards.
I have to admit i'm surprised by the Vikings, they are ready to play and Cook looks pretty healthy, almost 100 yards + a TD.

[145] MINNESOTA [146] NEW ORLEANS -8I'm sharing the general sentiment here that Saints will have an easy game so i'm picking them to win and cover the spread. I don't trust Cousins one bit, Dalvin Cook is coming off an injured shoulder. I'm sure Saints players and their fans remember what happened two years ago and will be highly motivated to make a statement today and demolish MIN. [147] SEATTLE[148] PHILADELPHIA +1 Eagles are lucky to be in the playoffs imo, getting to play Giants twice and Redskins in their final 4 games, which they barely won with 4th q heroics. Way too many injuries on both sides of the ball, the homecourt advantage won't be enough to upset Seattle (7-1 away record). That's why i'm taking Seahawks to win and cover. The only chance Eagles have is if SEA comes flat to start the game just like they did last week v 49ers.
I haven't made any bets yet, likely halftime picks again. I took HOU to score over 13.5 @2.07 as i expected Bills to crumble in the second half. Generally, i'm not a fan of teams running trick plays on their opening drives followed by crazy sideline celebrations. It's just bad luck. Who watched Lions v Packers last week? Lions ran almost the exact same trick play, Amendola to Blough for a touchdown. Lions had a 14 point lead at the half and lost by 3 pts. Sounds familiar, isn't it?  |

[141] BUFFALO
[142] HOUSTON -3
Probably the toughest game to predict out all 4 games at least for me. I'm really torn between the two.
HOU have the advantage of playing at home, deep threat/explosive plays with Watson and Hopkins and a defensive boost for getting back J.J Watt who is expected to not have limitations on the snaps he plays. Bills on the other hand, have allowed only 16.2 pts (2nd) and are 4th in defending the pass game (195 per game) with a 6-2 away record. Josh Allen has been solid all year long. I'm probably dead wrong here but i'm rolling with Texans to win and cover. Kenny Stills +100 yards 1TD!
[143] TENNESSEE
[144] NEW ENGLAND -5
I'm straight up picking Titans to win and cover. Good luck @Patriots in stopping Derrick Henry. Everyone expects Belichick and Brady to pull this off, but i don't see it, Patriots haven't been this limited offensively in a long time and haven't played in wild card game since 2009. Cold weather and occasional rain (expected) won't help much here with Edelman being their only weapon.

F**k, I just saw this and I was going to bet on them as well. Cardiff just score and Southampton are also leading already, and while typing Oxford scored too, You've got Reading left. Good luck man, you really do know your bet! EDIT: Reading scored!, It's looking all good   It's one of those rare occasions where everything goes your way, all 4 teams scored in the first 10 minutes of the second half. I also wanted to play Cardiff and Oxford to make a full comeback but i didn't have the balls to do it, Oxford won but Cardiff only drew despite the 21 goal attempts and 14 shots on target.  |

I'd be rather more concerned about the over 2.5 goals, tbh, even though I fancy Watford chances of winning.
EDIT: Watford are 2 goals up after 14 minute, I'll admit you were right after all. I also placed a small bet on the Special btw. Tranmere are just that bad, 3 corners needed still and two yellow cards. As i anticipated there won't be many cards in this game. It will be a miracle if we get more than 1. That's why i'm going with a live bet at the half Cardiff, Oxford and Reading to score and Southampton to win. |

How do you feel about Watford's Special this weekend? I think it might hit again looking at their opponent and requirements for the game. They are playing in the 3R FA Cup at home against Tranmere, League One team with an awful record on their away games (2-1-8 9/25). Tranmere's past two FA Cup matches against Premier League opposition has seen them concede 13 goals, losing 6-2 against Swansea in 2015 and 7-0 against Tottenham in 2019. The only thing that worries me is the yellow cards, other than that i think Hornets should handle their biz and get an easy win with a couple of goals scored. Corners over 7.5, Over 2.5 goals, Yellow cards over 1.5, Handicap Watford -1.5 @5.00 total odds |

They did manage to get a red card which put them in a situation so they got alot of corners from the wolves. I agree the red card was crucial for this to hit, Wolves put a lot of pressure on Hornet's defense after that. I did too not sure if they were going to get over on corners with only 3 for watford at the half.
Actually Watford didn't have any corners in the first half, all three were in favor of Wolves. Congratulations to those who believed that watford would score atleast a goal this match which they got two! This would make 3 in a row @5.00 odds, those two last week also hit so i can't really complain and congrats to those who opt-in for the promo. |

 I guess i was the only one who trusted Villa to get something out of this game. Well 'trust' is probably a strong word here considering their away record, i just thought Burnley doesn't have enough fire-power to win at home thus my pick. Double chance & both teams to score has been my go-to bet recently with very good overall results. Let's see if Newcastle can do the same and not lose at home. I also took the Watford Special. edit; i can scratch off newcastle pick already being down 2 goals at the half watford special is looking decent atm, need one more goal, one yellow card and six corner kicks (not impossible) |

Who could have imagined Heat and Magic both losing, Crazy night! NOBODY!!! When you think about it Wizards played without Beal, Thomas Bryant, Mo Wagner and Bertans against a full-strength and healthy second seed Heat. It's not like Heat didn't fuck a 4 legged parlay for me  https://i.ibb.co/9H3tSCf/lostparlay.png Who the hell is Garrison Mathews? 28pts hah Anyway, good luck to bisdak40 and Finestream with today's games. |

Are you sure about it? I could not find any such statements in their conditions. 6. Consecutive multi bets will not count for this promotion. I had won but my bets were not counted because I place consecutive bets for that event,I played four different tickets consecutively and it is not allowed in the Tc of the promotion. This is what i found. Sportsbet would probably make a lot more money allowing people to have multiple selections (like fantasy for example where you can get up to 70 entries) but personally i love the idea of 1 bet per 1 person giving everyone the same chance of winning the game. It's a lot harder/competitive that way knowing one wrong prediction could cost you 1st place. |

Thanks for hosting this nice competition @Harkorede and happy holidays @everyone who has been active here.
I can't believe this thread is year old already, man...time flies and it's been a blast so far.
Now that i've seen the injury report for today's game, here are my predictions:
1. Orlando Magic - 11.5
2. Miami Heat - 9.5
3. Milwaukee Bucks - 7.5
4. Brooklyn Nets - 1.5
5. Detroit Pistons + 10.5
6. Phoenix Suns + 4.5
7. Boston Celtics - 5
8. Sacramento Kings + 6.5

Check out Sportsbet main thread, the dude with 13 picks is apparently disqualified (multiple selections would be my guess) and everyone with 12 will get 16-17mbtc.

Yes there was a winner with 13 correct picks for this weeks multimaster challenge. It does seem impossible to predict so many correct but somebody did it. Dont know if they are part of the forum or not.  When you think about it, this guy was just two games shy of a 3 BTC prize, that's pretty crazy, i'm sure he won't mind the 300mbtc either. There were not that many surprises this week though, look at the standings, we have over 50 guys with 11 correct picks or more. I could have had 12 myself, had my doubts about Watford and with that red card at 1-0 game could have easily finished in a draw. Next round!  |

You still have 3 bets left to pull things back and I think they're likely to hit. I might also take the Eagles later the odds looks tempting. RGIII threw an interception with 25 seconds left on a 4th and short while up 18. What can i say...My GUY!!! thats why you don't bet on a game with teams that are not playing for anything. I will either get it tattooed somewhere or set a calendar reminder for December 2020, 50:50 chance atm. Finished 3-2, while also guessing right the weekly poll so not too shabby in the end. I told ya Steelers can't score shit with that offense and QB, still props to Hodges for not throwing a pick. Super stoked for Seahawks/49ers game!!! |

Can anyone find their discord channel? None of the invites work anymore. Did they shut it down for some reason?

Nice job. Not looking good already, hah why am i not surprised lol. Lost my Green Bay bet, Lions up 17-3 at the half. Rodgers just 6/18, Lions trick plays and whatnot having fun out there. Watching Bills struggle in a piss poor weather in Buffalo, they are down 0-3. Singletary is out (as well as their WRs and starting TE Knox), Allen played 1st Q and that's it. Barkley is absolute trash with an ugly pick just before the half. The only thing that keeps BUF in the game is Jet's FG kicker - Ficken who missed two. (Search his name in a german dictionary) Could the Saints score 70 (halfway there)? haha edit; i've seen enough from Barkley, another interception with 5:17 left. He started the second half with a fumble lol gg. Congrats to tyKiwanuka for taking the Jets ML |

9/4 I think ill finish one (probably 2) game/s short of the top Sydney game was a bonus given the circumstances (early red card). Rangers with first win at Parkhead in what 8-9 years? Chelsea played a lot better in the second and deserved to get at least one point, ultimately they went away with all 3. Fulham clutched a home W - that's a positive Fenerbahce with some trouble at half, Rizespor with just one shot on target and one goal. (tied at 1-1). They won after all (1-2) I don't expect Liverpool nor City to lose points but let's see... edit; 10/4 with Liverpool's win In all likelihood, the winner will come on top with 13 correct picks edit2; 11/4 |
