Champion's League
PSG vs. Barcelona ML (-110)
Originally I wanted to pick this game as a draw because PSG has the talent and experience to force a draw, then I did a little research and found out that gum dribbling extraordinaire Zlatan Ibrahimovic was ruled out last night after failing a fitness test!! No way Barca loses this game now, take the ML on Barca and watch them get an easy 3 or 4-0 type victory.
Bayern (-1.5) vs. CSKA Moscow
Betting against Bayern, is like betting on the Washington Generals...its just a dumb move. Not saying that soccer games are fixed (though some are) but every time Bayern plays it seems like they are able to get the victory, despite the fact that my fellow writer Sugar told me this morning that 98% of all soccer games in the world end in a draw. I haven't actually double checked that fact, but he's a smart fella so I'm gonna roll with it. Luckily for Bayern, they seem to be in that other 2%, and why wouldn't they be? This team is loaded with talent from top to bottom and feature some of the best players in the world not named Ronaldo or Messi. Bayern pours it on early with 2 goals and then "parks the bus" for an easy 2-0 win.
Man City vs. Roma (+1, -130)
Since the new FIFA 15 came out, one of the biggest things I have noticed about playing online is that a lot more people are using Manchester City than in years past. This is mostly in part to their recent success in the premier league, but their ratings have increased across the board, and they deserve the extra online love. What does that have to do with this game? Nothing at all, Roma keeps it close and either pulls the draw or wins this one outright.
Chelsea (-1, +140) vs. Sporting Lisbon
I swear I thought this line was a mistake when I first read it, and usually when I say that I end up getting crushed, but I don't see how Lisbon is going to keep this game close. The main line only has Chelsea -1/2!! I feel so confident I'm taking the alternate line of -1 with the higher payout of +140. This one is about as solid as anything on the board, which means Lisbon pulls a 0-0 draw somehow, so be careful.
