Chelsea had big problems with injuries. They were playing long time without Lukaku, their only real striker, and Kovačić who looked really good in the middle. Added to that they had a lot of injuries in defense, first Azpi, now Chilwell and James.
I'm still surprised at how they've been able to grind out results despite this. Today is the first time this season in all competitions that they'd concede two or more goals, despite not being as clinical in front of goal as they were earlier in the season, their defensive effort has been effective too, I don't understand why Lukaku has not been starting game though after returning from injury about 2-3 weeks ago.
Man City are dismantling Watford right now, they just scored the 3rd unanswered goal and are back to the top of the league, all thanks to West Ham. |

My predictions for this weekend Laliga games
Barcelona Vs Betis 2-1
your prediction is miss far off, Barcelona is defeated by real Betis with a score of 1 - 0 Ousmane Dembele has had several good chances to score but somehow none of his chances have been scored. Betis move up to 3rd place while Barca remain 7th in the standings Same old bs, just a different day.. Betis are still have a season of their dreams, and they deserve every bit of it. Barcelona looked really harmless during the first half, clueless when playing out from the back and attacking with no real threat whatsoever, Betis were wise not to overcommit themselves, they attack when given the chance present itself and they got their reward. |

As expected, GSW come back strong against the Suns and this dunk could have sum it all: JTA postering Javale McGee:
 The game is not over yet, but GSW with a huge lead, 113-89. Thus, they will end the Suns winning streak. Steph with 20+ point game with 4 other players scoring in double digits. That's some poste boy! The dunk actually stole the show, it made the headlines more than the win and the revenge from Warriors itself.. Until Christmas again before we'll get the match up again, and Booker might get his own fair chance to make another story. |

Everyone is afraid for Barcelona. Everyone is believing Bayern Munich will win the match. No one is confidently sure Barcelona can perform wonders. Well it is so, unless Bayern will rest players.
Why would Bayern refuse to eliminate Barcelona when they know Barcelona can return to form and become a stumbling block for the.
It's very delicate situation to be in for Barcelona, but the major factor is that Bayern Munich have nothing to play for but, I strongly disagree that they'd however bench some of their stars players because why would they do that ? Bundesliga is unlike the English and Spanish league with heavy schedule for the Christmas and New Year, the last matches for the Bundesliga sides would be 18th of this after that until the second week of the new year. The only advantage Barcelona might have would be Bayern Munich not playing desperately since they have nothing to lose. I want to hope Barcelona would make through the next stage regardless, and Bayern isn't invisible, If they can lose to Augsburg, they can lose to Barcelona, too. |

Time for the Phoenix Suns vs Warriors game.
Tomorrow they'll face and looks like the Booker is not available based on the current betting spread.
Warriors are -6.5 at home, they'll surely avenge their loss but is the spread too high for the Warriors to beat the team that is on a winning streak?
Booker will miss a few games due to a hamstring injury, so he is not going to play in this game, therefore I will take the Warriors -6.5 at home. Curry will not struggle anymore, they are at their home, so their shooting percentage will surely increase, no doubt for my pick, I'm all for the Warriors to win and cover. Good luck! Yes, same analysis here, it's time for them to get their revenge win, it's their homecourt and they usually play very good at home winning double digits so more likely it will be the outcome in this game. And without Booker it will be a different Suns that will face GSW in their floor. And I expect Curry to come out shooting and Jordan Poople and Wiggins too and the score might go over for this one so a lot of potential winnings to bet with the Warriors in this game. I will also back you with this one. I like to see Steph doing his usual stuff when playing at home. Double digit lead may happen once those shooters start to fire up and the defense strategy counter the usual system of Suns. GSW needs Wiggins to play harder in contributing good numbers. We know how good GSW when playing inside their home court with the Dubs fans it will be a crowded and noises game to witness. Perhaps, I'm the only seeing it differently here tonight, but even without Booker, I think the -6.5 is bit too much for the Warriors, here other than the fact Suns are having a back to back game and missing an important factor in Booker, everything imo is begging for the Suns +6.5. Even if the Suns are to go down, It wouldn't be without a fight and the 7 points seem like an easy advantage for them to cover. I'll however go with the majority here and also take -6.5 for the Warriors. GL! |

Also i'm surprised at Memphis dropping 150 points and winning by 73 points against OKC.  Crazy game, I thought live scores had a problem when I was checking the score line, OKC were blown out of the universe, losing each quarter by at least 15 points, we'll probably not see such a margin win all through the remainder of the season. Phoenix as expected are still holding it down with an 18 points lead midway through the 3rd against Pistons. |

I couldn't catch up with any of the pre-game bets, and all that's left is the Clippers vs Kings..
I'll be taking the Clippers -5.5 with the hope that they'd bonce back from their loss to Pelicans the last time.
I wouldn't take the Clippers -5.5. They are without PG so it'll be a very tough ask for them to perform. It will be a close game so I don't think that the spread is worth it. Kings are a good team, Buddy Hield and De'Aaron Fox are both due for a breakout. Yeah, I didn't figure PG was going to get rested until it was too late, turns to be a shitshow for the Clippers. What do you think of Suns vs Detroit tomorrow game?
I wanted to put a good amount of money on Suns, although they will be without Booker, but they are going to face a lowly but dangerous Detroit.
The line is open -12.5 Suns, you do guys think they can cover this one or this is a trap since Booker is out?
It's going to be a tough call though, but they just beat GSW without Booker so I guess they can do it against Detroit. And the game will be in their home court so they have all the advantage in this game. So it's possible that they can cover that handicap against the Pistons and even more, in my opinion. I don't know if it will be very wise to back the Suns -12.5 this night, I don't expect them to lose though but they might get really conservative tonight and give their starters some early rest, If they're able to get an early convenient lead, since they'll have to suit up again tomorrow against Warriors (a match that'd be expected to be more demanding of them). |

Miami Heat -6.5 vs Cavaliers
BOL, I'm taking the plus points on the side of the Cavs as some players are still questionable on the side of Miami, I think the Cavs have what it takes to keep it close since they're 4-1 in their last 5 road games beating the Mavs, Knicks, Hornets, and Raptors. The Rockets are tempting as well but they're 0-11 on the road though.  Also felt good taking the Lakers live yesterday when they're down against the Kings.  @danherbias07, you bet too early, not sure what made the spread change. The opening maybe was -6 or -6.5, now the spread is only -3, but anyway, still BOL to you, heat are still good especially at home. Cavaliers have dominated the first half of the game, and hold a 15 points lead going into the break. The heat can be really inconsistent, sometimes they get red-hot and next game day they get awkwardly cold, especially since they've been playing without of either of starters. They were really a team to look out for when the 5 starters and bench are healthy but the past weeks it's been one or other with an issue, I hope this doesn't mar their season.
I couldn't catch up with any of the pre-game bets, and all that's left is the Clippers vs Kings.. I'll be taking the Clippers -5.5 with the hope that they'd bonce back from their loss to Pelicans the last time. |

Brooklyn Nets won and the highlight of the game is James Harden with a big putback dunk. After that, he celebrated like a demon possessed him and shook his body too fast the camera cannot even handle it. Good game and Knicks is not giving up until that buzzer sounds, if they only had more time then it could be a different ending. KD and Harden lead the Nets in offense while surprisingly Alec Burks is the one who is on top for the Knicks. It really was a very close game with lead switching very close to double digits for either side at intervals, but Knicks were really up and doing and despite going really down at the beginning of the 3rd with was it a 14-0 run ? (I can't remember), the momentum change and felt as the Nets would run away with an easy win but the Knicks worked themselves gradually back into game and would have deserved a chance at OT.
It's Halftime in the most anticipated game of the week and tbh honest, it's been nothing short of an interesting one, both team taking the game to each other, too bad for the Suns to lose Booker to what seemed to be an hamstring problem in 2nd quarter. |

Uggh. Don't normally change my scores but changed the Newcastle game from 0-0 to 1-0 and Leeds 1-0 to 1-1. Lost out on 4 points there haha. Should have stuck to my guns. Leeds were lucky to get the late penalty though. Palace deserved a point.
I only got up from an early nap by then Norwich had equalized and it's still goalless with Leeds and Palace and to very be honest, I said the only one who possibly could gone for draw in both games would be you, I check and I saw you only had points (then) in the Leeds games. I had both Newcastle and Palace to win 2-0 and 1-2 respectively, It's always a tough decision for me to stick with draws, and it's probably costing a lot so far this season. |

Bulls won and covered the spread, good one.
For the upcoming games, I still have at least one.
Warriors vs Suns.
It's hard to choose between the two because both of them are the hottest teams now. However, I feel that the Warriors would make it a close game and if they'll lose this one, they'll probably cover the handicap. Therefore my pick is Warriors +2.5. GL!
I'm with you on this one! It's going to be a tough game unless something really weird happens and one team gets sobber while the other go on beast mode, however, I decided go all in with the Warriors ML Brooklyn Nets -6.5 vs New York Knicks is another one on my bet slip today. GL Everyone! |

I'm actually not getting better in the pool, but still trying to be in sight is something I'm not giving up on, lol. Here is to the early kickoff we've got I probably would have missed the deadline, If I had not made my picks late into the night yesterday.
Atalanta already making it rain after 13 minutes with 2 goals, 3-1 was my pick but I hope Venezia would be able to get a goal for themselves too.

Yeah, it seems it was an easy call for the Warriors to really win that game against the Clippers, as I have said they are tearing everyone with double digits so I also go with -3.5 on this game for more juicy odds.
Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets - I'll go with the Heat -6.5, they are in a winning streak an Denver is still struggling right now.
Unfortunately, it looks like Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro and not going to play for the Heat and the Nuggets have built a lead as high as 15 points already. So I have put the Nuggets -2.5 live betting as they are playing differently in tonight game while Bam and Duncan Robinson are missing good looks and has a horrendous shooting night in their home court. Nice catch you've got there mate, It was a completely different game from what anyone could've anticipated, I even didn't expect Jokic to play, and that's a massive boost for Nuggets despite having quite a number unimpressive games recently. Nuggets already have a 17 points lead with just 3 minutes plus left to play. Yep, another mistake on my side, didn't check that Butler is not going to play tonight so I've already lost my bet on the second quarter alone when Nuggets and Jokic are hot and shooting 66% in the floor as what I heard from the game announcer. Anyhow, this is just one game and good catch on this one, live betting with that great handicap bet you have. There is no way you could have foresaw that, just the same I didn't see Mavericks losing in quite an absurd fashion to Cavaliers or New Orleans Pelicans dominating the LA Clippers, looks like the night of the underdogs . Too bad for me to have missed out on the Bulls bet. |
