NFL 2009/2010: Week 12

I was a bit unlucky not to break even last week as Baltimore gave the Colts the game. This weekend is a massive divisional battle with the Superbowl champs Pittsburgh.

I think the Ravens will win this tight match up.  Ray Rice will not be as quiet this week, and kicker Cundiff will again be important.  Ravnes all the way.

RECOMMENDATION: BALTIMORE RAVENS TO BEAT PITTSBURGH 11/14 Betfair

It's the Brett Favre show again this weekend down in Minnesota. Brett Favre goes mental when at home.  I expect a touchdown fest and over 300 yards.

RECOMMENDATION: BRETT FAVRE TOTAL PASSING YARDS OVER 250.5yds LADBROKES 5/6

In another tight game I think Arizona are unopposable at Tennessee.  Arizona are 5-0 on the road and I expect them to bash Tennessee from the start.  Interestingly, Titans are slight favourites (3pts) but the Cards have a massive record when they are the underdogs.

RECOMMENDATION: ARIZONA CARDINALS TO WIN IN TENNESSEE 11/8 Skybet

NFL 2009/2010 Season: 36 bets 21 wins Profit +8.42pts
NFL 2008/09 Season: 22 bets; 13 wins; Profit +7.62pts

Kina at the Cross

Droopys Kina goes in the Tote Gold Collar at Harolds Cross tonight.  If she go around unscathed I think she can beat Graham Holland's Titan Tyrone.

RECOMMENDATION: 855 HAROLDS CROSS DROOPYS KINA

Premiership 2009/10: Week 13

I was going to have a nice bet on United at Portsmouth but with a change of manager I am always aware of the rebound factor.  Spurs can put 6 points between them and Villa in the battle for 4th - I expect Aaron Lennon to create havoc too, but no bets for me on Spurs anymore.

Fulham I have already backed to finish in the top half and the top 6.  They bounced backed to form hammering Rovers midweek, and Rovers had done a smash and grab at Bolton the weekend before.  Fulham are a massive price at Even money with Hills and with Danny Murphy back in the team look a good bet. Bolton are hard to break down, but once they go behind they generally have little going forward (unless against Spurs....)

RECOMMENDATION: FULHAM TO BEAT BOLTON EVENS WILLIAM HILL

YTD Premiership 2009/10: 37 BETS 14 WINS; lOSS -1.11pts

Premiership 2009/10: Week 12(cont)

2 games in the Premiership tonight and I think we could see 2 draws.

RECOMMENDATION: HULL V EVERTON DRAW 3.45 BETFAIR (NEARLY 5/2)

RECOMMENDATION: FULHAM V BLACKBURN DRAW 3.4 BETFAIR (12/5)

YTD Premiership 2009/10: 35 BETS 14 WINS; Profit +0.89pts

9.10 Shelbourne Park tonight

Could actually win this race, but I think he is a great bet to be placed, and could be value on the Tote.

RECOMMENDATION: SHELBOURNE BUCK PLACE (ON THE TOTE)

Eclipse Sky Card at Nottingham Tomorrow

A dismal year punting wise for most comes to an end soon on Sky and tomorrow's Eclipse meeting is a good one to start the wind-down process.
