The Punt #65
No winners last week! Disaster for the bottom three, with Ruben heading further into negative territory and Adrian and Matt hovering dangerously close to $0. The big three are flying high, and there are some big risks inside – can we find a winner this weekend?

————————————
Matt
T20 Champions League – Sixers def Super Kings @ $2.05 – The Sixers have two of the in-form T20 players in the world in Shane Watson and Mitchell Starc playing for them, and should get over the line in their opener.
&
MLB NLDS – Cardinals def Nationals @ $2.00 – The Cards may have lost it late in Game 4, but their big-game playoff experience in the past two seasons should be enough to keep their World Series defence alive.
= $4.10
Adrian
Rugby League – Aus v NZ – Kangaroos 13+ @ $1.68 – Even with the injuries, they should be dominant.
&
A-League – Heart v Phoenix – Half/Full Double – Heart/Heart @ $2.60 – The ‘nix are without several of their regular starters, plus their coach. This could be nasty.
= $4.37
James
A-League – Sydney FC v Jets – Sydney @ $2.00 – Not really sure how this one is going to pan out, but I’m thinking the big home advantage could get FC… home.
&
WC Qual – Iraq v Socceroos – Socceroos @ $1.90 – Coming off a 6-0 loss to the Brazil, Iraq should be spent. Australia – something, please!
= $3.80
Tomo
Rugby League – Aus v NZ – Kangaroos 13+ @ $1.68 – Will the Kiwi’s finally win? Probably not.
&
ITM Cup – Wellington v Taranaki – Wellington @ $1.30 – Look for Wellington to win and stay near the top of the standings.
= $2.18
David
Rugby League – Aus v NZ – 1st Try scorer Brett Morris @ $7 – The slippery winger to find the line first.
&
World Cup Qual – Argentina v Uruguay – Argentina @ $1.50 – They’ve been in great form as of late, and are red hot favourites here. Giddy up.
= $10.50
Ruben
Football Int – France v Japan – Japan @ $5.00 – I smell a huge upset.
&
Rugby League – Aus v NZ – Matt Scott to score a try @ $8 – On his home turf, the big prop will explode in this game.
= $40.00
