————————————

Matt

Country Origin v City Origin – Country def City @ $1.50 – They have clearly the stronger side on paper, particularly in the forwards where their back row should prove too good for the City boys

&

AFL – Adelaide v GWS – GWS +90.5 @ $1.90 – The GWS boys will be fired up after the comments by the now sacked Adelaide recruitment manager saying they’ll be deplorable. They covered the margin against West Coast last week, and I think they can do it again this week.

= $2.85

Adrian

Rugby League – Country v City – Country @ $1.50 – There’s every chance this could be the last year of the Country/City game, and I’m backing the home side to get the job done.

&

A-League – Final – Perth Glory @ $4.50 – The Glory have taken the hard route to the final, but knocked off Central Coast in the preliminary final. Anything can happen in this game (like we saw last year), and I’m sensing an upset.

= $6.75

James

EPL – Man Utd v Everton – Draw @ $5.00 – I’m backing my mighty Toffees to throw a spanner in the works with the EPL title race and take a point away from Old Trafford. They’ve had some success there in the past, and I think it could happen again this week.

&

Digicel Test Series G3 – Australia def West Indies @ $1.70 – The Aussies almost grabbed the second game after a thriller in the first, and I reckon despite not playing anywhere near their potential, they’ll have a bit too much class for the Windies.

= $8.50

Tomo

NBL Finals – New Zealand Breakers def Perth Wildcats @ $1.43 – The Breakers have been the better side all year, and the Wildcats thrilling win in the last game was only really delaying the inevitable.

&

NBA – Lakers def Thunder @ $2.05 – What’s doing Lakers? The consistency is lacking at the moment, but I reckon they’ll cause a boil-over and beat the Thunder tomorrow.

= $2.93

David

A-League GF – Perth def Brisbane @ $4.50  – I’m going with Adrian on this one. I think the Glory have the form going into this one, I mean they beat the Phoenix, and the Roar played mid-week. Perth to finally have some Glory.

&

NBL GF – Breakers def Wildcats 11+ @ $2.75 – The Breakers to win, and by plenty.
